SHAREHOLDERS LETTER  October 31, 2006

December 22, 2006

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the Julius Baer Funds (the "Funds") for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2006 (the "Reporting Period").

The Reporting Period began with most of the major indices strongly advancing; however, all eyes were on the Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") activity. Not only had it been regularly increasing the Fed Funds rate (a key overnight lending rate) as a tool to curb growing inflationary pressures, but it would begin the new year without Alan Greenspan, who had served for nearly 18 years as its Chairman. Although the market had braced for further tightening to monetary policy, analysts scrutinized every statement uttered by his successor, Ben Bernanke, in the hope of determining when such activity would end. In May, most global equity markets reacted violently to yet another interest rate hike by the Fed. Much of the gains that occurred during the first half of the Reporting Period eroded, particularly in emerging market stocks. For several weeks, markets remained turbulent. The Fed continued its stance by raising rates further in June, but suggested that the current level set may remain steady for a while. With a sense of stability back in the marketplace, most global markets rebounded with most indices generating double digit returns over the Reporting Period. Even the political fallout over U.S./U.K. policy in Iraq has not had significant impact on markets.

Over the last several years, the falling U.S. dollar has helped most international markets outpace the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. As a result, investors continue to actively seek ways to diversify their portfolios. For some time now, such investors have been drawn to our flagship international equity products. Our fixed income funds, both of which have international components and strong track records, are now beginning to attract significant attention. For example, the Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund raised nearly $294.4 million in new subscriptions, doubling the overall size of the Fund. We believe that this is a positive trend and hope that this will translate into better investment opportunities and cost savings to shareholders.

We are committed to ensuring that the investment parameters for each of the Funds continue to maximize the opportunities to generate returns for shareholders. In the past, we have said that the exposure to emerging markets within the Julius Baer International Equity Fund, Julius Baer International Equity Fund II, and Julius Baer Global Equity Fund, Inc. ("Global Equity Fund") was not then anticipated to exceed 25%. Over the last decade, the emerging market universe has undergone important fundamental changes. Not only has the market capitalization of such

countries doubled during this time frame, but corporate governance standards have been introduced, making many of these markets much less risky. As economies have broadened, the universe has become more diversified in macroeconomic terms. In anticipation of this trend continuing, the Board of Directors has recently agreed to permit an emerging market exposure up to 35%. This applies to all the three Funds mentioned and will be effective from early March following formal notification to shareholders.

Julius Baer Investment Management LLC ("JBIM") is keen to strategically expand its investment set in asset classes where we believe we can add value for our clients over the long term. In July, JBIM launched four new U.S. equity funds focused on micro, small, mid and multi-cap equity. We believe that this represents a natural extension of our ability to deliver added value in U.S. equity investing, previously only available via our core global equity strategy. Mr. Sam Dedio, who joined the firm earlier this year from Deutsche Asset Management where he was Managing Director, Co-lead Portfolio Manager and Co-Head of U.S. Micro, Small and Midcap Investment Management, is managing the Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund (JMCAX, JMCIX), the Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund (JSCAX, JSCIX), and the Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund (JMDAX, JMDIX). Mr. Dedio has also been co-managing the Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund (JMLAX, JMLIX) ("Multicap Fund") with Mr. Brett Gallagher, JBIM's Deputy Chief Investment Officer and the head of our U.S. large cap equity team.

In order to capitalize on JBIM's broader expertise across the U.S. capitalization spectrum and strengthen our core fundamental philosophy, the U.S. portion of the Global Equity Fund will transition toward a more multi-cap approach, although the Fund as a whole will continue to retain a large-cap bias. As a result, Mr. Dedio will take on management of the U.S. component of this product from Mr. Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher will serve in the capacity of Senior Investment Specialist on behalf of our Global Equity strategy, and he will retain his role as JBIM's Deputy Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Gallagher's considerable experience and credibility offer the necessary skill set to effectively serve the broad needs of JBIM's client base and he will continue to remain closely associated with the Funds. Replacing Mr. Gallagher on the Multicap Fund will be Mr. Keith Walter who has been serving under Mr. Gallagher's direction as a portfolio manager and investment analyst since 1999. Prior to his career at JBIM, Mr. Walter was fixed income portfolio manager at both Morgan Stanley and Bankers Trust Company. Despite the short track record of these new funds, we are encouraged by their performance (see Manager's Commentary on the subsequent pages for details) to date and believe that incorporating them into our product mix will deliver a diversified range of strategies that will showcase the talents of our organization.

In a world of change, it is important that we have a good system of checks and balances to ensure that we deliver the very best to our shareholders at all times. JBIM, as well as the Funds' Boards of Directors and Trustees, (the "Boards") share that vision. Thus, it is with great pleasure that I welcome Mr. Robert McGuire to the Boards as an additional independent Director/Trustee. Mr. McGuire is the former New York City Police Commissioner, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pinkerton's Inc., and former President of Kroll Associates, Inc., an international corporate investigations and security consulting firm. He is also a lawyer with a broad range of governmental and private sector experience. Throughout his career, he has served on numerous boards and commissions and we believe that this coupled with his experience in the mutual fund arena will be a valuable asset for shareholders.

In conclusion, I'd like to express JBIM's appreciation to you as shareholders for your continued support and to wish you and your families a happy and healthy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Tony Williams

Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY

JULIUS BAER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND INC.

Annual Report
Period Ending October 31, 2006

The Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc. ("the Fund") enjoyed its second full fiscal year in current form. The Fund, which has previously been known as the closed-end European Warrant Fund, became an open-ended fund on July 1, 2004 and changed its name to reflect the change in strategy and management team. This is the third annual report since the change and the second that covered a full 12-month period.

The Fund (Class A shares) returned 21.56% over the twelve months ending October 31, 2006 which compares favorably to its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (net dividends), which returned 21.32%. Since the change in format on July 1, 2004, the Fund has outperformed its benchmark by 7.74% (51.81% vs. 44.07% cumulative returns).

Market Review

The reporting period was a difficult one for most managers as very few underlying trends (either geographically or sector-wise) were able to persist for the full period. In other words, what worked well in one part of the period tended to underperform in other periods.

The United States was the weakest of the developed markets between October 31, 2005 and May 12, 2006 (-7.80% relative to MSCI World) while it was the strongest from May 12, 2006 through October 31, 2006 (+2.85% relative). Japan was just the opposite, outperforming early on by 10.97% and underperforming subsequently by 12.11%. Europe and the U.K. were the most consistent regions over the full period, outperforming by 3.65% and 7.63% respectively in the first half and by 0.98% and 0.94% in the second. For the full reporting period, we were underweight the U.S., the U.K. and Japan and overweight Continental Europe. The flip-flopping of relative performance from one period to the next made it difficult for any manager to gain traction without dramatically restructuring his or her portfolio mid-way through the year.

Similarly, what worked or failed across the various economic sectors exhibited the same positive/negative relative patterns over the course of the reporting period. The following chart details the performance of both MSCI U.S. and Global sector price-performance in local currency terms for the period October 31, 2005—October 31, 2006.

Almost without exception (technology being the underperforming exception), the biggest underperformers relative to the index in the first half of the reporting period were leaders in the second half. The theme was to reward the more economically sensitive areas early on, while some caution seemed to build-up after the first calendar quarter as the traditional "late cyclical" sectors (materials, energy and industrials) turned from top performers to laggards and more defensive sectors such as consumer staples, utilities and healthcare rallied to take leadership positions.

Geographic Exposure in the Fund

Our biggest relative weighting geographically over the period was the underweight to Anglo-Saxon economies (primarily the U.S. and the U.K.) due to concerns regarding their overextended consumer base.

We were also underweight in Japan where relative valuations left us scratching our heads as the market roared upwards in 2005, due to what now looks to have been

a momentum-led push. Cooler, more analytical heads have seemed to prevail in 2006 as Japan has lagged other global stock exchanges.

Our emerging markets exposure continues to be substantial with our focus on Central and Eastern Europe which, as we described last year, possess emerging market growth potential with developed market risk. This belief was rewarded during the year as emerging markets were the best performing region for the full period, rising by 38.2% in Eastern Europe, 34.6% in Latin America, and by 35.1% in Asia. Our decision to concentrate on Europe at the expense of Asia and Latin America has to do with the long-term drivers we see in each region. While Asia and Latin America remain export dependent (relying on those Anglo-Saxon consumers we talked about earlier), the dynamic within Eastern Europe remains economic convergence with their richer Western European neighbors.

Global Themes Revisited

Last year, a number of investment themes were detailed. Most of these worked well for the Fund.

Within Continental Europe, we spoke about three themes: consolidation within the Italian banking sector, infrastructure-related companies, and Scandinavian financials.

Shortly after we wrote last year's letter detailing the travails of Italy's central bank chief Antonio Fazio (the governor who was appointed for a life term but who subsequently was forced to resign), ABN Amro of the Netherlands succeeded in its quest to take over Banca Antonveneta SpA. Further bank deals occurred throughout the year, including the two most recent mergers between Banco Popolare di Verona Novara and Banca Popolare di Italiana, and, in turn, between Banca Intesa SpA and Sanpaolo IMI SpA. While this theme is now well-recognized in the markets, we still retain numerous holdings and expect it to persist into the new year.

Acquisitions also heated up in the infrastructure area with BAA PLC, Associated British Ports and Pensinsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company ("P&O") all being acquired. BAA PLC was taken over by a consortium of companies including Grupo Ferrovial SA of Spain, the Government of Singapore and Caisse de Depot of Canada. Associated British Ports was acquired by another consortium consisting of Macquarie Bank of Australia, 3i Group PLC of the U.K., Infomedia of Australia and Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board. P&O was acquired by DP World, a Dubai-based company. Our preference for companies in this sector is driven by the increased global trade in China, India and other emerging countries that act as the world's factory as well as by the strain on European government budgets which is leading to more public/private partnerships over infrastructure assets.

Scandinavian banks were also a favored sector last year due to their relatively cheap valuations, the better state of their local consumer balance sheets, and their exposure to the faster growth of their Eastern European neighbors. When we first invested in many of these names, they traded at substantial discounts to other European financial companies. Due to outperformance in the past three years, the valuation discount has disappeared, though faster growth still remains a lure.

We believe our caution with respect to Japan was well-founded. We felt the rally in late 2005 was driven by momentum and performance chasing and we could not find fundamental value in most segments of the market, and thus, continued to avoid it. While Japan finished 2005 strong, as stated above, Japan has since struggled and we believe such struggles are likely to continue as valuations remain rich. Some signs of slowdown in the economy are now apparent.

In the emerging markets, we spoke of opportunities in Russia, while at the same time acknowledging the increased level of risks inherent in such investments. Over the course of the reporting period, we experienced both the upside of reward and the downside of risk. The Russian market returned 52.3% over the reporting period, though not without falling by nearly 30% between May 9, 2006 and June 13, 2006. Only committed investors were likely to have reaped the full gains from the market as many short-term holders were certain to have fled during the downturn. We remain exposed to this market, primarily in energy and materials-related issues as well as through ownership in Sberbank, a Russian commercial bank.

China and India were also mentioned in last year's letter and both performed well, rising nearly 55% in the case of China and nearly 65% in the case of India during the reporting period. Our preference was for investment in India, albeit, acknowledging that investment in the country was not easy. We established and increased positions there over the course of the reporting period and like the progress we have seen. We still remain largely absent the mainland Chinese market given our earlier concerns over transparency, the quality of listed companies, and market valuation.

Turkey was a prominent theme this time last year and we continued to enjoy a strong run into the new year (climbing approximately 50% between October 31, 2005 and February 27, 2006). However, as the year continued, we began to see that progress in key areas such as inflation was beginning to slow while the current account continued to widen and equity valuations remained rich. We took this opportunity to reduce our holdings in Turkey and to "upgrade" the quality of our Fund by raising weights in Poland and Russia during the mid-year downturn. Today, Turkey represents approximately 0.6% of the portfolio, down from 1.8% on October 31, 2005.

One theme that has not (yet) worked well, was our shunning of the U.S. consumer who has continued to find ways to spend even as the debt pile (now 24% of disposable income, not including mortgages) and debt servicing (now claiming more than $0.14 of every dollar earned) continues to hover at high levels. In fact, U.S. consumer cyclical stocks outperformed the market by nearly 1% during the reporting period and bested their more defensive consumer staples names by over 4%. While we believe our caution will eventually yield substantial fruit, one must approach this investment play cautiously. Should the U.S. consumer succumb to fatigue, many worry that the knock-on effects to the rest of the world will be substantial. While we agree there will be repercussions (affecting some companies and countries more than others), the worry is less than in previous periods due to the growth of the non-U.S. consumer. Whereas emerging markets consumption was only 40% of the U.S. consumption just three years ago, today it is over 50%. Three years from now it will be even higher. Thus, the world is finding an alternative to the U.S. consumer who has driven not only the U.S., but also global growth over the past years.

Global Themes Refreshed

While many of our global themes retain "legs" and we believe will continue to perform over the next reporting period, some new areas of interest have cropped up since our last review. These include plays on domestic economic recovery in Germany, attractive valuation and growth opportunities in Finland, and global luxury goods.

The economic boom which enveloped most of the world over the past decade seems to have passed by Germany. While real estate prices rose many-fold around the globe, they seemed to have stalled in Germany. We think this situation has changed and we are pursuing a multi-pronged approach to tap the fortunes of Europe's largest economy. Our focus includes builders, real estate (commercial and residential) and banks.

Finland would appear to be a sleepy market to many, known as the home of Nokia and good fishing. To us, Finland remains a source of inexpensive companies that are taking advantages of the growth opportunities with neighbors Russia and the Baltic States. Such a combination has led us to take up positions in a handful of Finnish companies.

Finally, the luxury goods makers have long had a place in our portfolio and we believe this still to be a "fresh" idea. While the Japanese have traditionally made up a large portion of the profits of such companies, the emergence of wealthy Chinese and Indian consumers, along with strong money flows accruing to the Middle East (as a result of high energy prices) have created new demand for companies such as LVMH, Richemont and Bulgari.

The Coming Year

The coming year holds many promises and challenges. Hopefully, the log jam of rapidly changing preferences will end and some of our themes will take flight. While the emerging markets and economic recovery in Germany offer hope for global growth, we remain on guard against the U.S. and U.K. consumer who certainly have done little to correct imbalances in their personal balance sheets. Whether this coming reporting period is the one where exhaustion will catch up with them, or not, remains to be seen. Until that time, we will be cautious on building up positions in sectors or geographies dependent on them.

One of the more unusual aspects to the markets over the past few years has been the embrace of risk by investors across all asset classes. In the fixed income world, credit spreads have continued to shrink, allowing lower rated corporate and government issuers to access capital at rates not far from those accorded to better rated credits. The two charts below show the credit spreads for the Moody's Baa Corporate issuers and Sovereign Emerging Markets issuers relative to the U.S. Treasury Bonds (the horizontal line depicts current readings).

Also, in the credit default swap market (a kind of insurance pool to insulate fixed income investors against the risk of bond issuer defaults), premiums have fallen dramatically as seen in the chart below. Apparently, investors are not too concerned about credit risk despite what appears to be a slowing economy.

Source: Bloomberg

Such an embrace of risk as we have seen in the equity markets has dominated the larger and (usually) more stable large cap brethren in terms of performance. The following chart shows the relative performances of small versus large cap names globally, which have outperformed by more than 125% (relative to the MSCI World Index) since the trough in February 1999.

Source: Bloomberg

Of course, valuation and growth plays a turn in determining such relative performance and at the start of this period small capitalization stocks sold at the discount to larger cap names and have since grown at a faster rate. Given near parity in valuations today, one wonders if an aversion to risk would mean a turn in the relative performance of "risky" equity assets.

Finally, there appears to be relative complacency across the board with respect to larger capitalization stocks. The following chart shows the percentage difference in the high vs. low price of the S&P 500 Index over rolling 12 month time frames. Today's narrow spread is historically low.

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY

JULIUS BAER INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
JULIUS BAER INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND II
Annual Report
Period Ending October 31, 2006

Both the Julius Baer International Equity Fund ("IEF") and the Julius Baer International Equity Fund II ("IE II") outperformed their benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index ("the Index"), for the period under review. For the twelve months ending October 31, 2006, IEF Class A Shares returned 31.20% and IE II Class A Shares returned 28.73% versus 27.52% for the Index. While IE II only invests in companies with a market capitalization of greater than U.S.$2.5 billion at the time of purchase (and IEF invests in securities of all market capitalizations), whenever feasible, the geographic and sector exposure for the two funds are similar.

Our ability to outperform the benchmark was the result of a number of factors, most notably our exposure to emerging markets. Top contributors included Russia, Poland and Turkey. Within Russia, our position in the nation's largest bank, OAO Sberbank, was a top contributor to our results for the period. Positions held in OAO Gazprom and OAO Lukoil, the country's biggest producers of natural gas and oil, were also among the top contributors. We have long been attracted to the country's energy reserves which trade at a discount to their Western European peers. Additionally, our position in OAO Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest nickel and palladium producer proved beneficial to results. Amid an era of industrialization for China and India, we believe Russia's vast natural resources provide an attractive long term investment opportunity.

Within Poland, our focus on many of the banks supported results. PKO Bank Polski and Bank Pekao, the two largest lenders in Poland exhibited strong results as did Bank Zachodni amid an expanding economic climate which has fuelled increased demand for financial services. However, the position held in Agora by the IEF, Poland's top publisher, detracted from results. The shares declined subsequent to disappointing earnings results for the fourth quarter of 2005.

We were effective in managing our exposure to the Turkish market amid a very turbulent environment. At the start of the period, we had over 3.5% invested. We aggressively reduced our weighting to less than 2% by the end of April and further reduced exposure to approximately 1% by the end of the review period. Concerns over a deteriorating fiscal position in the country and the U.S. Federal Reserve's hike in short term interest rates on May 10 struck many emerging markets hard, including Turkey. However, the market managed to recover somewhat and several of the positions retained over the period exhibited strong results.

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

Within Continental Europe, holdings in cement, airports and banks were positive contributors to results. The global cement industry has been on a consolidating trend leading to more pricing power. The industry has also become less cyclical due to government spending to prop up demand in weak phases of the business cycle. High barriers to entry have created an industry which has become more defensive in nature. Our positions in LaFarge (France) and Holcim (Switzerland) produced strong results.

We view airports and seaports as quasi-monopolies able to leverage the increase in global travel and trade. Strained European government budgets have led to public/private partnerships with companies engaged in infrastructure construction and we own several throughout Europe and Asia. Our position held in Fraport, the operator of the Frankfurt airport, which is Europe's third busiest, was a top contributor to performance. Toward the end of the period, however the shares came under pressure after having lost a bid for the London City Airport.

The Italian banking industry has been undergoing a wave of consolidations, which we expect to continue. We have been attracted to a number of banks such as Unicredito Italiano which was a strong performer over the period. We continue to see opportunity for restructuring and efficiency gains, as well as growth potential within the credit market as demand for such products begins to converge toward European averages. Several positions held in Swedish banks were also supportive of results. In particular, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Skandinavia's third-largest bank in terms of assets, was a strong performer. The prospect for possible consolidation within the banking sector has provided positive performance.

The utility sector was the strongest performer in the index over the period, powered by mergers and deregulation. The fact that we were underweight Spanish utilities, in particular, detracted from results. However, this was offset by our position in Fortum Oyj, Finland's largest utility, which outperformed over the period.

Within the telecommunication services sector, while we were roughly in line with the average index weight for the period, our stock selection outperformed the Index. We continue to think telecommunications carriers are being challenged due to new entrants, increased regulation and lower pricing power amid technological innovation.

Japan was the weakest of the major developed markets and our underweight to Japanese equities was supportive to results. Investors appeared concerned about the impact any slowdown in consumer demand, especially from the U.S., would have on the country's export sector. While the Japanese economy has made some structural progress, we still believe shares of many Japanese companies are expensive versus comparable stocks in Europe. We find more compelling valuations in Continental Europe where we are overweight relative to the Index.

Looking forward, we remain enthusiastic about long-term opportunities in Eastern and Central Europe. Countries in the region have made significant improvements on many fronts, encouraged by the prospect of European Union ("EU") membership and possible inclusion into the Eurozone. From a policy risk perspective, the ten emerging markets that joined the EU in 2004 differ little in our view from many of their developed

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

14



EU counterparts. Structurally, these countries have been highly successful in encouraging domestic demand, which makes them steadily less susceptible to a slowdown elsewhere in the global economy. India is another market, which we have recently increased our investing. We see the market as offering long term growth potential, particularly within the banking sector which should benefit from an increase in loan volumes.

We believe Continental Europe remains relatively strong and our focus continues to be on those industries most prone to the wave of restructuring activity taking place. In Germany, we have been focused on companies that will likely benefit from what we expect to be a strengthening domestic economy. After a long period of underperformance, we feel German asset prices are inexpensive and expect a rebound that will be centered on domestic stocks such as retailers and real estate related companies.

We remain underweight in the United Kingdom. The U.K. is traditionally a defensive market and with the index skewed toward companies in the utility, pharmaceutical, energy and food and beverage industries it has tended to outperform during more difficult economic conditions. However, we remain concerned about the U.K.'s growth prospects and the impact this may have on the corporate sector. Much like the United States, the U.K. has high consumer debt and a declining savings rate, which presents potential vulnerability for the U.K. consumer.

With the 2006 fiscal year now behind us, we remain focused on identifying opportunities around the globe, while keeping the big picture clearly in view. We look forward to reporting our progress to you throughout the year.

The Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund (Class A Shares) (the "Fund") returned 4.98% for the twelve months ending October 31, 2006. Over the same period, the benchmark Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a 5.19% return.

In examining the Fund's relative performance for the annual period, one of the major detractors was a large underweight in U.S. interest rates from June through August. In early June, we expected the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the "Fed") to continue tightening, or at least pause, in its measured program of raising interest rates for the prior two years. Our primary concern was the ripple effects from inflation buildup that were expected to pass through the economy. We reasoned that this would push interest rates higher. At the end of June, the Fed hiked the prime short term interest rate to 5.25%, stating that "economic growth is moderating from its quite strong pace earlier this year." Long term rates began to subside. We equated these developments to a break in the Fed's tightening campaign. Consensus among fixed income investors leaned toward a slowdown in the economy and a possible recession in gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the near future. This led to a precipitous decline in U.S. interest rates. Our positioning during this time favored foreign bond markets and underweighting the overall duration of the benchmark. Consequently, we erred on the side of caution.

A major contributor to performance over the twelve month period was our currency positioning. As 2006 unfolded, we believed that the U.S. dollar was due to adjust downward, following the substantial rally in 2005. As the dollar weakened from the end of February through the middle of May, we were well positioned to undertake a sizable position in foreign currencies. The Euro, for example, appreciated over 8% during this time.

Outlook

The paramount question on investors' minds for the last twelve months was the health of the U.S. housing market. We think that this concern will probably prevail in the investment community for another year. Numerous studies were done on the housing market over the last few years. Some observers believe that the housing market will continue softening to a considerable extent, and the U.S. economy is heading toward recession. Others contend that current housing market conditions are more indicative of a mild correction and that home prices will strengthen again in the first half of 2007. Our view is more in the middle of these extremes with the

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

caveat that the housing market may be soft for a much longer time than market consensus expects.

The U.S. housing market has indeed worsened over the reporting period. However, housing—albeit an integral part of the economy—is not the only driver of economic growth. The rest of the economy is progressing fairly well. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of GDP growth, continues at a robust pace. Also, employment continues to be encouraging, with a five-year low unemployment rate of 4.4% in October 2006.

The main reason we do not believe that the housing market will collapse in the immediate future lies in its inefficiency. There is no exchange or market maker to facilitate trades; if the seller and buyer cannot agree on a price, there is no trade. Listed houses may await sale for years. Due to the softness of the housing market over the past year, many potential sellers now face reduced prices compared to what they might have previously commanded. The forced seller (due to a dire need to move, financial hardship, etc.) usually experiences a large drop in their house price compared to higher offers not so long ago. The media tends to report on these types of sales as it makes for interesting reading. However, forced sellers comprise a very small percentage of home sellers and are by no means representative of the norm.

Most homeowners who intend to sell do not presently feel pressured to do so. They are willing to lower their price by a modest amount, but are also prepared to wait for what they consider to be the right price. We think that some potential sellers, knowing that the housing market has softened, have decided to extend residence for another year or two, in hopes of finding a more friendly market at that time. Hence, we believe that this inefficiency will prevent the housing market from cracking and completely undermining economic growth.

There has also been extensive literature over the last few years about the use of adjustable-rate mortgages ("ARMs") in home buying by less financially strong borrowers. ARMs usually have a fixed interest rate for a specified length of time, after which there are periodic rate adjustments. These adjustments are based on the trading levels of certain key market interest rates. The rate during the fixed period can be a very low rate, usually referred to as a "teaser" rate. These teaser rates are low enough to induce a buyer to purchase a higher-priced house. Some observers argue that when the fixed periods for ARMs end, ensuing adjustable rates will increase dramatically. Thereafter, monthly mortgage payments will rise so high that defaults will skyrocket, ultimately leading to a crash in the housing market.

We are unconvinced that such a scenario will fully materialize. Given the current low unemployment levels, we think that homeowners with ARMs would likely be able to meet their mortgage payments. One tactic would be to refinance into a new

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

17



ARM with a different teaser rate. Demand for mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") based upon these types of ARMs remains strong from pension funds, insurance companies and hedge funds. Another option for these homeowners is to refinance into a traditional thirty-year fixed mortgage. Against a backdrop of the currently inverted yield curve, it is still a good time to have a fixed rate mortgage with predetermined payment amounts. Thus, we do not subscribe to an impending doomsday outcome for the housing market. However, we do expect that certain homeowners with ARMs will encounter difficulty in making payments, especially those who are unemployed in a stagnant or declining local real estate market.

To summarize our outlook on the housing market, while we expect the current slowdown to detract from GDP, we do not foresee the entire U.S. economy stalling in the near future as a result. Certain local markets that have become overbought and overdeveloped will probably correct significantly. This will be most apparent in markets where rampant speculation occurred. Housing prices may remain soft until the rest of the economy grows enough to continue the gains of the white-hot housing market of the last five years. This could take effect in a few quarters or a few years. Nonetheless, we are confident that housing softness will not be a crushing problem for the U.S. economy over the next few quarters.

Within the investment universe, we continue to believe that the U.S. dollar remains in a long term bear market. The nation's Current Account ("CA") deficit, based on the most recent data available, was at an $874 billion annual rate in the second quarter of 2006. This means the U.S. economy has to attract about $2.4 billion per day in order for the dollar not to lose value. To put this in perspective, a cautionary sign for investors considering exposure to fixed income emerging markets is that the CA deficit to GDP ratio should not exceed 6%. Based on the most recent data available, the CA deficit to GDP ratio for the U.S. stands at 6.6%.

For the U.S. trade deficit—the biggest component of the Current Account deficit—to decrease, there must be a fall in imports and/or a rise in exports. A viable way for this to take place would be for the U.S., as a nation, to save more and scale back imports. The trade deficit would further improve if foreigners, especially in the heavily export-based Far East, lowered their high savings rates and boosted consumption of U.S. imports. Of course, there are downsides to this scenario. A drop in U.S. consumption would adversely affect local businesses, as our economy is consumption driven. An additional problem is that even if there is an increase in foreign consumption of U.S. products, the U.S. economy is far more service than manufacturing-oriented. Many of these services are not easily translatable into foreign sales. Also, higher savings and less consumption of foreign goods by the U.S. consumer require changes in behavior. We think that such behavioral changes are unlikely to happen without a major shift in government policy or the economy itself mandating the change.

A separate school of thought stipulates that the U.S. should impose trade restrictions on foreign goods to protect domestic manufacturers. This might benefit some domestic firms but may also incur retaliatory barriers from trading partners. If protectionism triggers a shrinking in global trade, it may become problematic for the U.S., which is considered a trading leader on the world market, to attract foreign capital. Another view is that the U.S. government should try to bring about a currency devaluation, by using either verbal or actual currency intervention. A risk to this plan is that the government may be perceived as overly activist and the U.S. dollar could lose its status as the global reserve currency. The costs to the U.S. in this scenario could be high, as commodities may cease to be priced versus the U.S. dollar, interest rates may climb as the "risk" of investing in the U.S. would rise, and equity values would most likely decline.

An additional concern would be how foreign investors react if the reserve status was lost. If a foreign pension fund or insurance company currently holds, for example, 30% of its investments in the U.S. dollar, it would be considered a low risk position, so 30% would be justifiable. If the risk posed by the U.S. increased, even only in perception, then 30% may be too high an allocation. At the same time, if foreigners believed that they needed to exit a large portion of their U.S. assets, it may result in major problems for the worldwide financial system.

We believe that some combination of the above scenarios may transpire in such a way that the U.S. dollar could continue to lose value over the long term. If this is indeed the outcome, we hope it is a slow process thereby enabling markets to adjust without major disruptions. We believe our strategy of allocating between 0% and 40% in non-U.S. dollar currencies, with a natural habitat around 20%, is a way for U.S. fixed income investors to take advantage of this trend while minimizing currency risk.

In the fixed income markets, we continue to strive to find value in both domestic and international markets. In the U.S. market, we are encountering considerable challenges in finding value at the long end of the Treasury curve. We struggle to find value in 10-year bonds, amid a Federal funds rate of 5.25% (the short end of the yield curve) versus yields of around 4.6% for the 10-year Treasury note (the long end of the yield curve). Though the U.S. economy is clearly showing signs of wobbling, we expect GDP growth to muddle through around the 2.0% level in 2007. We also think that the Fed is committed to restraining inflation. In light of the new Fed chairman's stated intention to target inflation, we believe this Fed—with Mr. Bernanke at the helm—is more likely to be hawkish than it was under Mr. Greenspan. Accordingly, we do not expect the Fed funds rate to dip in the next few months. We think there are better ways to invest in the U.S. fixed income market than through the long end of the Treasury curve, and we intend to focus on the spread sectors of the market in this capacity.

In the corporate bond sector, we plan to continue to be conservative in our positioning. Beyond the overall credit metrics that are fundamental to buying any corporate bond, we are concerned about the non-quantitative threats of leveraged

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

19



buyouts ("LBOs") and mergers and acquisitions ("M&As"). Most shareholders welcome news of a company they have a stake in that is "in play." In contrast, bondholders are terrified of this scenario, due to the likelihood of new management taking on additional debt. Increased debt usually results in a deterioration of the company's credit metrics as well as multi-notch downgrades. As a result, bond values of such companies can tumble by 20% or more. Our approach is to avoid companies that may be perceived as targets of LBOs or M&As. Instead, we prefer to invest in companies whose high market value or capital structure renders them unlikely targets. If corporate bond spreads widen over the next year, we will reevaluate this conservatism as the risk/reward trade-off changes.

Going forward, we look to hold an ample position in mortgaged-backed securities. MBS offer value when the yield curve is not undergoing dramatic changes in shape and interest rates are stable or range bound. As we expect the U.S. economy to muddle through, we think the added yield that is inherent in MBS will enhance our ability to outperform over the next several months.

In conclusion, we believe that our defensive strategy for the Fund should produce higher returns than the benchmark over the long term, aided by our ability to capitalize on opportunities outside of the U.S. as well as our strategic allocations in the fixed income spread sectors.

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY

JULIUS BAER GLOBAL HIGH INCOME FUND

Annual Report
Period Ending October 31, 2006

The Julius Baer Global High Income Fund (the "Fund") completed another successful fiscal year in October, turning in a total return of 10.49% (Class A Shares). The year was paced by U.S. economic growth that ran at close to 3%, a somewhat more muted growth rate in Europe, and robust emerging economies, powered by Chinese growth and booming commodity markets. These developments continued trends that were in place for several years. They provided a healthy fundamental backdrop for global markets, which were tempered by U.S. Federal Reserve Bank tightening until the summer, concerns about the affects of rising energy prices, and mounting speculation over how the U.S. housing boom might end.

In this environment, high income securities of all types performed very well, again, defying the prognostications of much of the financial press and a substantial portion of the investing community. Our benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index, returned 10.64%. The global credit foundation was strong. Global growth and ample liquidity helped issuers increase their revenues and execute productivity enhancing restructurings which improved margins and cash flow. Emerging sovereigns and corporations benefited from strong export demand, sounder fiscal policies, and improved currency and debt management. Investors met this credit environment with strong demand for issuers of high income securities. Only for a brief period in April and May did investors show any real hesitation. This pause in demand was sparked by concerns that the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank might increase interest rates too much or for too long. The speculation sparked a "risk aversion" trade that was more pronounced in energy and commodity-related securities, whose values were extended the most during the preceding years.

Within the global market for high income securities, there were some sectors that fared better than others. U.S. high yield outperformed European high yield as the credit impact of improved fundamentals offset the effects of an increasing interest rate environment. Auto and auto parts bonds both in the U.S. and Europe outperformed the general market, although there was a very wide dispersion of returns within the group. Airline bonds, much maligned in the past, were extremely strong performers. Healthcare bonds, meanwhile, one of the better performers last year, underperformed the market this year. Homebuilders also underperformed, although not until the later part of the period. In general, lower quality bonds (CCC rated and lower) outperformed higher quality bonds. This outperformance of issuers with the lowest margins of cash flow is unusual at this stage in the cycle. Emerging market bonds continued their multi-year run of strong returns, both in

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

local currency and in hard currency markets. Following the "risk aversion" ripple during April and May, however, bonds of emerging market countries sporting substantial current account deficits tended to lag.

The performance of the Fund (Class A Shares) during this period placed it in the top 16% of high yield bond funds, as measured by Morningstar, Inc. (for the twelve months ending October 31, 2006, the Class A Shares ranked 84 out of 544 high yield bond funds based on total return). In addition to the strength of the overall market, the Fund's performance was enhanced by our positions in the local currency government and money market instruments of several emerging countries including Brazil, Columbia, and Indonesia. Our positions in several large emerging market corporates, such as Norilsk Nickel and CSN also bolstered returns. The Fund built several positions during the year in select auto and auto parts issuers that we believe will ultimately benefit from the on-going restructuring of the industry. Although volatile, these positions on balance helped the Fund's relative return. In a similar manner, we also benefited from positions in the airline sector including both defaulted securities and more senior, secured Equipment Trust Certificates.

These positive contributors to performance were somewhat offset during the year by other factors. Although we carried approximately a market weight in more risky CCC bonds for much of the period, we were not particularly aggressive about our issue selection in this area. Our discipline tended to keep us away from CCC issuers dependent on unpredictable events and led us to invest more in smaller CCC issuers that we believe are fundamentally under-rated. The Fund also had a very low representation of hard currency (Euro and U.S. dollar denominated) emerging market bonds, which continued to perform well during the period. Towards the end of the fiscal year, U.S. interest rates declined, benefiting more interest rate sensitive BB bonds in which the Fund was somewhat underweight.

While a number of different high income markets and security types both added and detracted from overall performance, we were careful not to let any one market dominate the Fund's returns, either negatively or positively. This balanced diversification across different geographies and security types forms a cornerstone of our investment philosophy, and we believe it should continue to help the Fund navigate the markets successfully.

As we enter the new fiscal year, the economic fundamentals and the market backdrop continue to be supportive of high income securities globally. Although we expect growth in North America will slow in the coming quarters, we do not expect outright recession. More importantly, we believe global growth will remain strong. Issuers of sovereign and corporate bonds should be able to continue the process of operational and cash flow improvement that has been in place now for several years. As always, even in a generally improving economy, there will be issuers that will become overextended, whole industries that will need to restructure, and difficult periods. Overall, however, we are constructive on the year ahead.

The risks in our outlook still rest in the process of global trade, monetary and currency rebalancing that is required to incorporate China, India, Eastern Europe and other emerging countries into the global economic system. As long as this development continues in a relatively smooth manner, all markets, including the high income security markets, in particular, should benefit. We will be watchful, however, for central bank missteps, political events, and supply imbalances that might disrupt this process.

Equity Market Commentary

Equity markets were up sharply from the date of the launch of our four new funds on July 24, 2006, through October 31, 2006, with the Russell 2000 Index up 11.39% and the S&P 500 up 9.82%. Following a sharp correction in July, technology stocks rebounded through August and September to lead the rally. This can be attributed to a positive outlook for technology investment spending in both the seasonally strong fourth quarter period and a favorable outlook for 2007. Many corporate balance sheets have record cash levels and managers are under pressure by shareholders and the forces of an increasingly competitive global arena to begin investing capital into higher return propositions, rather than settling for current money-market rates of return. Technology spending continues to be an important part of capital spending, representing about 34% of the total. On the consumer front, spending held steady in 2006, and consumer discretionary stocks also performed well in the review period. Despite facing higher interest rates and greater costs for gasoline and home heating fuel, U.S. consumers continued to robustly purchase goods and services. On the bright side, gasoline prices declined significantly in October and it's been more than a year now since prices began moving sharply higher—consumers have had time to adjust to the higher fuel prices and have economized by optimizing trips and purchasing more fuel-efficient vehicles. With the significant increase in fuel prices that began in mid-2005, many pundits predicted a decline in consumer spending. Our belief is that if reduction occurs, it will be a temporary phenomenon and that consumer expenditures may be actually shifting away from the new housing market into home refurbishment, consumer electronics, clothing and dining out.

Portfolio Strategy and Investment Focus Areas

With smaller U.S. company stocks and indices having performed well for several years in a row versus their larger counterparts, there has been much debate as to when the current cycle of smallcap out-performance will end. Given the concentrated nature of the four funds under review, we are less concerned about the smallcap vs. largecap cycle debate, and more concerned about picking stocks that have the potential to outperform in both favorable and unfavorable equity market environments. To achieve this, we consistently seek out investment opportunities that are characterized by having a product or service that favorably changes consumption behavior. For example,

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

equity markets earlier in the year were discounting a fairly significant slowdown in spending for the casual dining industry—many casual dining stocks declined markedly in price. Our view is that U.S. consumers changed their behavior significantly over the last several years and are dining out more often and spending more discretionary income to do so. Our belief is that consumers will continue on this course despite a modest decline in foot traffic that may have occurred in the short-run due to higher gasoline prices and rising interest rates. We believe the change in behavior to dining out will be long-lasting and will also benefit from population growth as well as other favorable demographic trends, including income growth and the aging of the "baby boomer" generation. As a result, we initiated our funds with an overweight position in the casual dining industry.

In terms of portfolio positioning, we are constructive on technology and remain overweight the sector as corporations invest in technology spending to upgrade aging computer systems. The last major upgrade cycle that occurred for computer systems in the corporate setting was in the 1998-2001 time frame. Typically, this type of capital equipment is replaced every five to seven years, so our analysis leads us to believe the installed base of technology had aged and spending should improve nicely. In addition, corporate managers are under increasing pressure to deploy ever-growing cash balances and boost productivity. As we look forward into 2007, we expect the market for financial services, primarily retail and commercial banking and asset management, to be favorable. This is attributable to income growth, high employment levels and low absolute interest rate levels. From a long term perspective, we also believe the healthcare sector is attractive due to aging demographics and growth in demand for aesthetic procedures, as a result of medical advances. We have a strong belief that in the next decade there will be many changes to the entire healthcare system in the U.S. that will offer companies the ability to gain market share as well as create new market opportunities. Some interesting investment areas on this front include the aforementioned aesthetic procedures such as laser applications, changes to how medical records are managed and maintained, and technological advances in non-invasive surgical procedures.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a stockholder of the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund, or a shareholder of Julius Baer International Equity Fund, Julius Baer International Equity II Fund, Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund, Julius Baer Global High Income Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund or Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, shareholder service fees, distribution fees and other fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars and cents) of investing in Julius Baer Global Equity Fund, Julius Baer International Equity Fund, Julius Baer International Equity Fund II, Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund, Julius Baer Global High Income Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund or Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund and to compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other funds.

The table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Inc. vs. MSCI World Index (in U.S. dollars) July 1, 2004-October 31, 2006†

†  Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested on July 1, 2004 assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions through October 31, 2006. No adjustment has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or cap gains distributions. The MSCI World Index is a market capitalization weighted index composed of companies representative of the market structure of developed and emerging market countries in the Americas, Europe/Middle East and Asia/Pacific regions.

(1)  On July 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from The European Warrant Fund, Inc. and converted from a close-end, non diversified investment company ("closed-end fund") to an open-end diversified investment company with a different investment objective, different investment strategies, different management team and a new investment adviser (an affiliate of the closed-end Fund's adviser). Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the Fund operated as a closed-end Fund and its common stock (which then comprised of a single share class) was listed on the NYSE. After the close of business on June 30, 2004, all of the common stock was converted into Class A shares of the Fund, and the Fund began seeking to maximize total return principally through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located throughout the world. For periods prior thereto, all historical performance information for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Fund's common stock while it was a closed-end fund.

  Note: All figures cited here and on the following pages represent past performance of the Global Equity Fund, Inc., and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares upon redemption may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the Fund operated as a closed-end Fund and its common stock (which then comprised of a single share class) was listed on the NYSE. After the close of business on June 30, 2004, all of the common stock was converted into Class A shares of the Fund, and the Fund began seeking to maximize total return principally through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located throughout the world. For periods prior thereto, all historical performance information for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Fund's common stock while it was a closed-end fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Organization

The Julius Baer Funds consist of the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc. ("Global Equity Fund") and the Julius Baer Investment Funds ( the "Trust"). As of October 31, 2006, the Julius Baer Funds consisted of nine funds (each a "Fund" and together, the "Funds").

The Global Equity Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on May 23, 1990 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

On July 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from The European Warrant Fund, Inc. and converted from a close-end, non diversified investment company ("closed-end fund") to an open-end diversified investment company with a different investment objective, different investment strategies, different management team and a new investment adviser (an affiliate of the closed-end Fund's adviser). Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the Fund operated as a closed-end Fund and its common stock (which then comprised of a single share class) was listed on the NYSE. After the close of business on June 30, 2004, all of the common stock was converted into Class A shares of the Fund, and the Fund began seeking to maximize total return principally through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located throughout the world. For periods prior thereto, all historical performance information for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Fund's common stock while it was a closed-end fund.

The Trust is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, as an open-end management investment company. As of October 31, 2006, the Trust offered eight investment funds: Julius Baer International Equity Fund (the "International Equity Fund"), Julius Baer International Equity Fund II (the "International Equity Fund II"), Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund (the "Total Return Bond Fund"), Julius Baer Global High Income Fund (the "Global High Income Fund") (formerly known as the Julius Baer Global High Yield Bond Fund), Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund (the "U.S. Microcap Fund"), Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund (the "U.S. Smallcap Fund"), Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund (the "U.S. Midcap Fund") and Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund (the "U.S. Multicap Fund"). On July 24, 2006 Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund and the Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund commenced operations. On September 15, 2006, the Julius Baer Global High Yield Bond Fund changed its name to Julius Baer Global High Income Fund.

The International Equity Fund is closed to new shareholders (at the account level). This excludes 401(k) plans that have existing investments in the Fund through related

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

179



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

401(k) plans and new plan participants within 401(k) plans that hold positions in the Fund. In addition, existing shareholders may continue to invest.

Each Fund offers two share classes, Class A and Class I. The two classes of shares are offered to different types of investors and have different expense structures, as outlined in the Funds' Prospectus. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and expenses that are not attributable to a specific class are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other expenses are allocated to the respective Fund based on average daily net assets.

Each Fund has distinct investment objectives. The following are the objectives for the Funds that are covered in this report:

Fund Name   Investment Objective  
Global Equity Fund   Seeks to maximize total return, primarily through capital appreciation.  
International Equity Fund   Seeks long-term growth of capital.  
International Equity Fund II   Seeks long-term growth of capital.  
Total Return Bond Fund   Seeks to provide total return, which consists of two components: (1) changes in the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities (both realized and unrealized appreciation/depreciation) and (2) income received from its portfolio securities.  
Global High Income Fund   Seeks to maximize total return, principally through a high level of current income, and secondarily through capital appreciation.  
U.S. Microcap Fund   Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.  
U.S. Smallcap Fund   Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.  
U.S. Midcap Fund   Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.  
U.S. Multicap Fund   Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.  

 

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

180



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

a) Portfolio valuation: Each Fund's investments are valued at market. Equity securities, which are traded primarily on a U.S. or foreign stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on that exchange or, if there were no sales during the day, at the mean of the current quoted bid and asked prices. Portfolio securities which are traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that when a significant event subsequent to that time is likely to have changed such value, including substantial changes in the values of U.S. markets subsequent to the close of a foreign market. In these circumstances, the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Global Equity Fund's Board of Directors, the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board" and collectively, the "Boards") or their respective delegates. Debt securities (other than government securities and short-term obligations) are valued by independent pricing services approved by the respective Board. Investments in government securities (other than short-term securities) are valued at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Any securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a significant event has occurred since the time of the most recent market quotations, are valued in accordance with fair value pricing approved by the respective Board. To the extent each Fund invests in other open-end funds, the Fund will calculate its NAV based upon the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests. The prospectuses of these underlying funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of such fair value pricing.

The Boards have identified certain circumstances in which the use of fair value pricing method is necessary. In such circumstances, the Boards have also approved an independent fair value service for foreign equities, which may provide the fair value price. For options and warrants, a fair value price may be determined using an industry accepted modeling tool. In addition, the Funds' Pricing Committees may determine a fair value price, subject to the approval of the respective Board, based upon factors that include the type of the security, the initial cost of the security and price quotations from dealers and/or pricing services in similar securities or in similar markets.

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

b) Repurchase agreements: The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation in return for the use of the Fund's available cash, subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase and the Fund to resell the obligation, at an agreed-upon price and time. Thus, the yield during the Fund's holding period is determinable. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during a Fund's holding period. The value of the collateral at all times is equal to at least 100% of the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including accrued interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to a Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The Funds' investment advisor reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with whom the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

c) Foreign currency: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies and investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains or losses on investments which result from changes in foreign currencies have been included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Net realized currency gains and losses include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and the gains and losses from differences between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuations in exchange rates between the purchase trade date and sale trade date is included in realized gains and losses on security transactions.

d) Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market at each valuation date. The change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

182



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As part of its investment strategy, a Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to manage a Fund's portfolio holdings against currency risks. A Fund may also utilize forward foreign currency contracts to reduce or eliminate an underweighted position in a currency relative to its benchmark when purchasing underlying equities denominated in that currency is not advisable by the advisor. With respect to a Fund's obligations to purchase or sell currencies under forward foreign currency contracts, a Fund will either deposit with its custodian in a segregated account cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to its obligations, or continue to own or have the right to sell or acquire respectively, the currency subject to the forward foreign currency contract.

The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund's portfolio securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.

e) Financial Futures Contracts: In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in security values, the Funds may buy and sell futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Funds and the prices of future contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. The Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by a fund as unrealized gains or losses. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. (see Note 12 for outstanding futures contracts at October 31, 2006)

f) Options: The Funds may write options to generate current income and to manage investment risk. Each Fund may write put and call options on up to 25% of the net

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

183



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

asset value of the securities in its portfolio and will realize fees (referred to as "premiums") for granting the rights evidenced by the options. When a Fund writes a call option or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by that Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market at each valuation date. When a written option expires, that Fund realizes a gain equal to the amount of the premium originally received. When a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium originally received when the option was sold/written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a call option is exercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the amount of the premium originally received. When a put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which that Fund purchased upon exercise. The Funds will write only covered options.

The Funds may purchase put and call options that are traded on foreign as well as U.S. exchanges and in the over-the-counter market. Each Fund may utilize up to 2% of its assets to purchase both put and call options on portfolio securities. Purchases of put and call options are recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market at each valuation date. When a purchased option expires, no proceeds will be expected and a Fund will realize a loss. When a fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When a Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.

All the funds except the Total Return Bond Fund may purchase and sell call and put options on stock indices. A Fund's possible loss, in either case will be limited to the premium paid for the option, plus related transaction costs. In contrast to an option on a security, an option on a stock index provides the holder with the right but not the obligation to make or receive a cash settlement upon exercise of the option, rather than the right to purchase or sell a security. The amount of this settlement is equal to (i) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a call) or is below (in the case of a put) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (ii) a fixed "index multiplier."

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

184



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund may forego the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. There is also the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the transaction are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.

g) Swaps: The Funds may enter into interest rate, currency, index, total return and credit default swaps. The Funds expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, to protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Funds anticipate purchasing at a later date. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, for example, an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them and an index swap is an agreement to swap cash flows on a notional amount based on changes in the values of the reference indices. A total return swap is an agreement to exchange the return on a stock, bond or index for a fixed or variable financing charge. A credit default swap is an agreement between two counterparties that allows one counterparty to be "long" a third-party credit risk, and the other counterparty to be "short" the credit risk. Credit default swaps are designed to transfer the credit exposure of fixed income products between parties.

The Funds will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, that is, the two payment streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Inasmuch as these swaps are entered into for good faith hedging purposes, the investment advisor believes such obligations do not constitute senior securities under the 1940 Act, and, accordingly, will not treat them as being subject to its borrowing restrictions. The Funds will not enter into any swap transaction unless, at the time of entering into such transaction, the unsecured long-term debt of the counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least A by S&P or Moody's or has an equivalent rating from a NRSRO or is

determined to be of equivalent credit quality by the investment advisor. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Funds may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction.

h) Securities Lending: The Global Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund II, the U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the U.S. Multicap Fund have established securities lending agreements with Investors Bank & Trust Company in which the Funds lend portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. These Funds may loan securities to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions determined by the Julius Baer Investment Management LLC ("JBIM" or "Advisor") to be creditworthy, subject to certain limitations. Under these agreements, these Funds continue to earn income on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and such Funds invest the cash and receive any interest on the amount invested, but they must also pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. In the event of counterparty default, these Funds are subject to potential loss if any such Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. These Funds each bear risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on the loans.

i) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization and accretion of bond premiums and discounts, respectively, using effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded in the statement of operations on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund becomes aware of dividend distribution. It is expected that certain capital gains earned by the Funds and certain dividends and interest received by the Funds will be subject to foreign withholding taxes.

j) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund intends to distribute annually to its shareholders substantially all of its taxable income. The Total Return Bond Fund and the Global High Income Fund declare and pay monthly dividends. The International Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund II, the Global Equity Fund, the U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Multicap Fund and the U.S. Midcap Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, annually. The Funds will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Additional distributions of net

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

186



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

investment income and capital gains may be made at the discretion of the Board of the Funds to avoid the application of the excise tax imposed under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for certain undistributed amounts. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Funds, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Funds as a whole.

k) Federal income taxes: The Global Equity Fund and the Trust intend that each Fund separately qualify as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds do not anticipate that any income taxes will be paid.

l) Bank Loans: The Global High Income Fund may invest in Bank Loans. Bank Loans include institutionally traded floating and fixed-rate debt securities general acquired as a participation interest in or assignment of a loan originated by a lender or financial institution. Assignments and participations involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates on floating rate securities adjust with interest rate changes and/or issuer credit quality. Many such loans are secured, although some may be unsecured. Loans that are fully secured offer a fund more protection than an unsecured loan in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. There is no assurance that any collateral securing a loan could be liquidated or, if liquidated, that such collateral would be of sufficient value to repay the loans taken against it. There may be limited secondary market liquidity for these instruments which could result in volatile pricing for the securities which in turn may affect this Fund's NAV.

3.  Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions

Julius Baer Investment Management LLC ("JBIM" or "Advisor") serves as the Funds' investment advisor. The Global Equity Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets.The International Equity Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% for the first $7.5 billion dollars of average daily next assets, 0.88% for the next $2.5 billion dollars of average daily net assets and 0.85% for average daily net assets over $10.0 billion dollars. The Total Return Bond Fund, the Global High Income Fund and the International Equity Fund II pay JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.45%, 0.75% and 0.90% of average daily net assets, respectively. The U.S.

Julius Baer Funds    2006 Annual Report

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the U.S. Multicap Fund pay JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 1.25%, 0.95%, 0.80% and 0.75% of average daily net assets, respectively.

Commencing on March 1, 2005, the Advisor contractually agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Global Equity Fund so that the net annual expenses of the Global Equity Fund based on average net assets were limited to 1.40% and 1.15% of the Class A and Class I shares, respectively.

Commencing March 1, 2006, January 1, 2005 and March 1, 2006, the Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the International Equity Fund II, the Total Return Bond Fund and the Global High Income Fund, respectively, through February 28, 2007, so that the net operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) based on average net assets are limited (the "Expense Limit") as specified in the table below. Commencing July 24, 2006, the Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the U.S. Multicap Fund respectively, through February 28, 2008, so that the net operating expenses of the each Fund (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) based on average net assets are limited (the "Expense Limit") as specified in the table below. In addition, any Fund with a reimbursement plan has agreed to allow the Advisor to recoup expenses reimbursed to each Fund provided that repayment does not cause each of the Fund's annual operating expenses to exceed the Expense Limit. Any such recoupment must be made within three years after the year in which the Advisor incurred the expense. The table below specifies the reimbursement made to each Fund by the Advisor for the period ended October 31, 2006 and the Advisor's potential recoupment as of October 31, 2006.

8.  Foreign Securities

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include the loss of value in investments of foreign securities because of currency exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility that may exceed the volatility of U.S. securities, uncertain political conditions, lack of timely and reliable financial information and other factors. These risks are increased for investment in emerging markets. Emerging market securities involve unique risks, such as exposure to economies less diverse and mature than that of the U.S. or more established foreign markets. Economic or political instability may cause larger price changes in emerging market securities than other foreign securities. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

9.  Federal Tax Information

Permanent book and tax differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital, net investment income or realized gains. These include net operating losses not utilized during the current year, commission adjustments, paydown gains and losses, bond premium amortization, foreign currency gains and losses, taxable overdistributions or returns of capital, recharacterized distributions, and adjustments relating to dispositions of Real Estate Investment Trust and Passive Foreign Investment Company securities.

14.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on a Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. The change to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of FAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management of the Funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

15.  Subsequent Events

The following changes to performance benchmark indices are effective March 1, 2007:

n  International Equity Fund and International Equity Fund II: The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc. ("MSCI") All Country World ex-U.S. Index will replace the MSCI Europe Australasia and Far East Index. The MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. As of June 2006, the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index consisted of 47 developed and emerging market country indices.

n  Global Equity Fund: The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc. ("MSCI") All Country World Index ("ACWI") will replace the MSCI World Index. The MSCI ACWI is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. As of June 2006, the MSCI ACWI consisted of 48 developed and emerging market country indices.
