Short Duration Strategies

During the six-months ended April 30, 2013, investors digested better-than-expected domestic economic data amidst continued headwinds out of the European Union, while watching increased activity by central banks. The unemployment rate in the U.S. declined to 7.6% during the period while the S&P 500 climbed to record highs. The European Central Bank continued to provide support to European banks with the announcement of the Outright Monetary Transactions policy. The Bank of Japan announced a 2-year $1.4 trillion asset purchase plan to stimulate its economy. Bond prices moved higher as rates fell across the U.S. Treasury yield curve and credit spreads continued to compress.

The Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund continued to provide a positive return and stable daily liquidity. For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 0.01% compared to a return of 0.01% for both the Lipper Money Market Average and the Lipper Government Money Market Average, the Fund’s benchmarks. Money market rates still remain relatively low as the Federal Reserve Board decided to link its low interest rate policy to improved and sustained economic growth rather than a specific date. The Fund benefitted from a decrease in front-end government yields due to an increased flight-to-quality demand.

The Payden Limited Maturity Fund returned 0.49% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 0.06% for its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Investment-grade credit and non-agency mortgage-backed securities offered the largest source of return through price appreciation and yield advantage relative to U.S. Treasury bills. The Fund benefitted from owning securities with maturities between one and three years, as U.S. Treasury yields fell during the period.

The Payden Low Duration Fund returned 1.12% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 0.34% for its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index. All sectors within the Fund outperformed U.S. Treasuries. Notably, investment-grade and below investment-grade credit were the largest contributors to total return during the period. The Fund also benefitted from its allocation to non-agency mortgage backed securities.

The Payden Global Low Duration Fund returned 1.49% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 0.34% for its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index. All sectors within the Fund outperformed U.S. Treasuries. Notably, exposure to investment-grade and below investment-grade corporate bonds contributed to positive total and relative return. The Fund also received significant outperformance from owning non-agency mortgage backed securities.

The Payden U.S. Government Fund Investor Class returned 0.58% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 0.56% for its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Treasury Index. The Fund’s Adviser Class returned 0.46% for the same period. The past six months have been dominated by the Federal Reserve Board’s quantitative easing program. The program calls for the Federal Reserve Board to purchase $85 billion of U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage backed securities each month. The large demand by the Federal Reserve Board has kept short-term rates anchored at very low levels and has kept yields in the agency mortgage market at historically low levels. The Fund kept pace with its benchmark by overweighting short average life mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Short average life MBS, primarily adjustable rate and 10- and 15-year MBS, provide additional yield as well as protection against a decline in price vs. 30-year MBS in the event that interest rates should increase or if the supportive Fed purchase program should taper or terminate.

Intermediate Duration Bond Strategies

The Payden GNMA Fund Investor Class returned 0.75% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 0.42% for its benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch GNMA Master Index. The Fund’s Adviser Class returned 0.62% for the same period. The primary driver of returns has been the Federal Reserve Board’s quantitative easing program (QE3) which calls for the purchase of $65 billion worth of agency mortgage backed securities and an additional $20 billion of U.S. Treasury securities per month. The Fed’s QE3 program has provided a great deal of support for the agency mortgage market. The program has kept mortgage valuations at relatively low levels when looked at over a longer time period. Current economic fundamental suggest that we will be in this environment of modest mortgage securities yields for some time. The Fund has outperformed its benchmark by overweighting lower coupon mortgage pools. Due to changes in price, lower coupon mortgage pools have higher yields and will typically outperform higher coupon pools when interest rates are stable or declining.

The Payden Core Bond Fund Investor Class returned 2.22% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 0.90% for its benchmark the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index, while the Fund’s Adviser Class returned 2.09% for the same period. During the period, the Fund was positioned with a high allocation to corporate bonds – including below investment grade bonds and corporate bonds from emerging markets countries. Government yields gyrated some during the period, but they started and ended at about the same levels, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury hovering around 1.70%. Due to its higher allocation to credit sectors, the Fund has a materially higher yield than the benchmark. This added yield, coupled with price appreciation in the credit sector, was a primary driver of added performance during the period.

The Payden Corporate Bond Fund generated a return of 2.87% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, compared to a return of 1.49% for its benchmark, the Barclay’s Capital U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index. The strong outperformance came from two primary strategy initiates. First, the Fund does have a modest allocation to below investment grade bonds. Not only did this give an overall yield boost to the Fund, but it also provided additional price appreciation during the period. Second, the Fund held a higher allocation to financial companies which outperformed other sectors. Financial companies have come a long way from the financial crisis of 2008 and have strengthened their balance sheets and capital ratios.

High Yield Bond Strategy

The six month period ended April 30, 2013 was a strong one for the global high yield market, with both solid fundamentals and healthy technicals pushing the market higher. The Payden High Income Fund Investor Class returned 5.98% for the six months ended April 30, 2012, while the Bank of America Merrill Lynch BB/B High Yield Cash Pay Index, the Fund’s benchmark returned 6.45%. The Fund’s Adviser Class returned 5.86% for the same period. The underperformance was largely driven by the Fund’s higher-quality positioning which slightly detracted from performance relative to its benchmark. The strong absolute performance of the high yield market was largely attributable to continuing robust fundamentals in the market, with companies both refinancing their existing debt loads and extending their debt maturities. These actions allowed companies to reduce their interest expense and thus enhance their cash flows. The market rally over the past six months was focused upon the higher beta, lower-quality CCC end of the market. This more risky segment of the high yield sector was up 10.88% versus the higher-quality BB rated end of the market, which was up a more modest 5.64%. Since the U.S. elections in November 2012 and the introduction of Quantitative Easing (QE3) in mid-September 2012, investors have been aggressively buying spread products, including high yield bonds and loans and corporate bonds.

Tax Exempt Strategies

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the municipal market saw range-bound movement in its baseline yield curve driven by federal politics and concern over the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds. Federal sequestration and the “fiscal cliff” saw a return to higher top-bracket marginal tax rates with no major additional tax reform, and the market ended the period only slightly higher in price the intermediate-long portion of the curve. Credit spreads continued to tighten slightly as economic news showed evidence of a continued recovery.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Payden Tax-Exempt Bond Fund returned 1.52%, while its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Quality Intermediate Municipal Index, returned 1.44%. The Fund’s longer duration exposure to intermediate-maturity bonds and higher yielding securities were contributors to the return difference.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Payden California Municipal Income Fund returned 1.33%, while the Barclays Capital California Intermediate Index returned 1.69%. The Fund’s security selection in the revenue bond sector was the main driver of return difference during this period. The Fund avoided lower quality bonds over the period, which tended to outperform.

U.S. Equity Strategy

The equity markets posted double digit returns for the six months ended April 30, 2013 as accommodative central bank policies and attractive relative valuations lifted stock prices higher. The markets began the period on a negative note as the re-election of President Obama led to tougher negotiations on the fiscal cliff. However, politicians were able to come to an agreement on taxes and push back other impending deadlines on the budget and debt ceiling. The start of the New Year brought strong inflows to the equity market as investors looked to increase risky assets given that the fiscal cliff was averted and the Fed has remained committed to its easing

policies. Stock prices continued to rise on the strength of a better than expected earnings season as corporations showed good sales and profit growth for the quarter. Investors were unfazed by negative headlines out of Cyprus and automatic budget cuts from sequestration as inflows into the equity market continued at a healthy pace, reversing the recent trend of outflows the past five years. The market rally continued to the end of the April with the S&P 500 index closing at an all-time record high.

The Payden Value Leaders Fund Investor Class returned 16.21%, and the Adviser Class returned 16.16% for the six months ended April 30, 2013. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 16.31% for the same time period. In terms of sector allocation, the Fund benefited from its underweight in the industrials sector. In regards to individual stock selection, the strongest area of stock selection was in the energy sector, while the weakest area was in the financial sector. The best performers in the Fund were real estate investment trust Health Care REIT and master limited partnership Energy Transfer Equity.

Global Bond Strategies

Major international government bond markets made solid gains over the six months ended April 2013. Core European and UK Gilt markets benefitted from safe haven flows triggered by the Cypriot banking crisis and political uncertainties in Italy as protracted negotiations to form a coalition government stalled at the end of April. Although Cyprus eventually met the conditions to qualify for European bail-out funds, concerns about potential contagion persisted. UK Gilts were also supported by poor economic data, talk of a ‘triple-dip’ recession and growing expectations of further quantitative easing. Peripheral Euro-zone sovereign debt markets rallied very strongly over the period despite the Cypriot crisis, as investors seemed confident the worst of the region’s crisis has passed and that the ECB would step in if necessary to stabilize markets. U.S. Treasuries lagged, but still delivered decent returns as confidence in the U.S. economic outlook grew steadily.

Non-government credit markets were mixed over the six months ended April 2013. Investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasuries but performed broadly in line with other core sovereign markets. Emerging market debt rose strongly at the end of 2012 but lost some of these gains to profit-taking early in 2013. However, the sector still registered strongly positive returns over the six month period. High yield bonds performed even more strongly.

For the six months ended April 30 2013, the Payden Global Fixed Income Fund returned 3.70%, outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Global Aggregate Index Hedged into USD, which returned 2.29%. This outperformance was primarily due to the Fund’s overweight holdings of investment-grade corporate and high yield, which outperformed government bonds over the period as investors’ appetite for yield persisted. Currency positioning also made a solid contribution to performance, thanks to our short position in the Japanese yen and long positions in a basket of emerging market currencies. Our exposure to emerging market debt made a minor addition to performance while duration management detracted slightly.

Emerging Market Bond Strategies

Emerging-market dollar-pay bond spreads widened by 3 basis points to yield 282 basis points over comparable U.S. Treasuries, while local-pay yields were 46 basis points lower at 5.22% during the six month period ended April 30, 2013.

Global central banks’ commitment to provide liquidity reduced tail risks and led spreads in emerging markets to rally through the close of 2012. The U.S. avoided falling off the “fiscal cliff” to start 2013, and spreads neared their post-crisis lows in January. However, a steady increase in U.S. Treasury yields during the opening months of the year caused emerging market spreads to back up 43 basis points through March. Beginning in April, weakening economic data signals and lower than expected inflation led to a renewed focus on monetary easing – particularly from the Bank of Japan – reviving investors’ search for yield and pulling spreads lower.

Driven by a combination of yield compression and currency appreciation against the U.S. dollar, local currency emerging bonds outperformed dollar-pay bonds significantly over the six month period. Global conditions attracted flows to local markets, contributing to increased demand for both bonds and currencies. The Mexican Peso exemplified the trend, as it appreciated almost 8%. Hungary and South Africa were notable exceptions, as their currencies fell 3%, though both saw yields decline.

The Payden Emerging Market Bond Fund Investor Class returned 4.21%, the Advisor Class returned 4.08% and the Institutional Class returned 4.23% for the six months ended April 2013. The J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, the Fund’s benchmark returned 2.50% for the period. The Fund is overweight Latin America, including Brazil, Mexico and Colombia,

while maintaining a neutral position in Central and Eastern Europe, with underweights in Poland due to tight valuations and Hungary and overweight in Russia due to strong fundamentals and Kazakhstan. In Asia, there are attractive opportunities in Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka, while the Fund remains underweight the region through the Philippines and Malaysia, where valuations are not compelling. The Fund has no exposure in the Middle East outside of quasi-sovereigns in the United Arab Emirates, as the region continues to struggle in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. The Fund sees value in select local currency bond markets, including Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Russia, as well as in select corporates where spreads to sovereigns are attractive.

The Payden Emerging Market Local Bond Fund Investor Class returned 7.66% for the six months ended April 30, 2013, as compared to 7.02% for the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index. The Fund’s Adviser Class returned 7.54% during the period. The Fund maintains an overweight allocation to Latin America, including Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico. It is also overweight Central and Eastern Europe through Russia and Turkey, while still underweight Hungary on concerns regarding the country’s policy direction. In Asia, the Fund is neutral, with underweights in Indonesia and Malaysia due to this market’s flat yield curve and low absolute yields and an overweight in the Philippines. In Africa, The Fund is underweight through South Africa, while maintaining exposure to Nigeria, where yields are attractive and authorities are prudently managing monetary policy.

European Emerging Equity Strategy

The Metzler/Payden European Emerging Markets Fund returned 0.28% for the six months ended April 30, 2013. The Fund’s benchmark, the Nomura Central and Eastern European Index, returned -0.34% for the same period. Equities in the region posted a strong rally during the first half of the period, as global central banks further committed to providing liquidity, leading to a rally, while the U.S. economy avoided falling over the “fiscal cliff”, giving sentiment a further boost. However, the second half of the period saw equity markets in the region give up the entire rally, as economic data started to show signs of weakness again both in the region and globally.

The Fund marginally reduced its position in Russia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan, while it significantly increased its position in Turkey, as well as Poland. Financials remained unchanged as the top sector. The Fund reduced its exposure to the materials sector, as well as to energy and utilities. Investments in the consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors increased.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

  

 

April 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Related Matters

The Payden & Rygel Investment Group (the “Group” or “Paydenfunds”) is a no-load, open-end registered investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 22, 1992 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. Each of its seventeen funds (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”) is a series of the Group, and is authorized to issue unlimited shares at $0.001 par value. This report includes sixteen of the Funds. The Payden/Kravitz Cash Balance Plan Fund is contained in a separate report. Each of the Funds, other than the Cash Reserves Money Market and High Income Funds, has been classified as non-diversified.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Each Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation

Domestic and foreign fixed income securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available (other than obligations with maturities of sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Such quotations take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. Debt securities with original maturities of sixty days or less and securities in the 

Cash Reserves Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Publicly traded equity securities, whether in the U.S. or outside the U.S., for which market quotations are readily available, generally will be valued at the official closing price or the last sale price on the exchange or market where they are principally traded, or if there have been no sales during the day, at the last bid price. Securities traded only on the over-the-counter market are valued at the latest bid price. Investments in investment companies are valued at their net asset values as reported by such companies.

Options, futures, swaps and other similar assets are valued at the official closing price in the case of exchange traded derivatives or on the basis of information (pricing services, quotes obtained from brokers and dealers, and recent market trades) provided by the institution with which a Fund entered into the transaction in the case of other securities.

Fixed income or equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established pursuant to the Valuation and Liquidity Guidelines applicable to each of the Funds. In considering fair value of a security, one or more factors are taken into consideration depending on the circumstances at the time, including for example: the cost of the security or the last reported sales price of the security as a starting point; changes in interest rates; changes in yield spreads of similarly rated or structured securities; fundamental analytical information relating to the security; the value of other similar securities traded on other markets or among dealers; the general financial condition of the issuer; recent developments affecting the issuer; information, including price quotations, from other financial institutions or analysts; or government actions or pronouncements and other significant events affecting the economy, the markets, the fundamental value of the issuer or of the issuer’s industry.

Fair value pricing may occur when (1) developments occur (a “significant event”) that will affect the value of a Fund’s holdings, and (2) the significant event occurs after the close of the markets on which the securities trade, but before the time when the net asset value is computed for a Fund. A significant event may relate to a single issuer or an entire market.

Risks

Unforeseen events in the markets may at times result in an unusually high degree of volatility in the markets, which could adversely affect the Fund causing a decline in value.

Table of Contents

Investing in debt securities may include failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in credit quality. In addition the value of the debt security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company including industry earnings outlook, changes in interest or currency rates or perception of a specific industry.

Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values and changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities.

An investment in the Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Investment Transactions and Related Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the expected life of the security using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Each of the Funds (except Cash Reserves Money Market, U.S. Government, GNMA, Tax Exempt Bond, and California Municipal Income Funds) may purchase securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of the respective transactions. Each of these Funds does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in security prices.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from purchases and sales and maturities of securities, purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized

between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of income or expenses recorded on each of these Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalents of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates.

Repurchase Agreements

The Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund entered into repurchase agreements (agreements to purchase U.S. Treasury notes and bills, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a specified time and price) with well-established registered securities dealers or banks. Repurchase agreements are the equivalent of loans by the Funds. With respect to such agreements, it is each Fund’s policy to take possession of the underlying securities, except for tri-party agreements where an independent custodian takes possession. On a daily basis the Funds or the tri-party custodian mark-to-market such securities to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the amount to be repaid to each Fund under each agreement. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

Forward Currency Contracts

Some Funds entered into forward contracts to protect against adverse currency movements or as speculative investments. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gain or loss until the contact settlement date or an offsetting forward foreign currency contract has been executed, at which time the 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. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Futures Contracts

Some Funds entered into futures transactions to enhance potential gain in circumstances where hedging is not involved.

The purchase or sale of futures contracts and options on futures contracts provides for the future sale by one party and purchase

by another party of a specified quantity of a financial instrument or foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded.

Pursuant to the contract, that Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by that Fund. When the contract is closed, that 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. The potential risk to the Funds is that the change in value of the underlying securities may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.

Stock index futures contracts are an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally written. Variation margin accounting procedures apply to these index futures contracts. Each Fund invests in these futures contracts to permit the Fund to meet its objectives at a lower cost than investing directly in equity securities, while permitting the equivalent of an investment in a portfolio of equity securities. The potential risk to a Fund is that the change in value of the underlying index may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.

Swap Contracts

Some Funds entered into interest rate swap agreements for a variety of reasons, including to hedge certain markets, to protect against adverse interest rate movements, to provide a substitute for purchasing or selling a security, or to increase potential returns. Changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and realized gain (loss) is recorded at termination of the contract. The Funds and counterparties have agreed to exchange interest payments based on a notional principal amount.

Options Transactions

Option techniques may be utilized by a Fund to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or security prices in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by the Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure associated with investment in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to the bond, equity

and currency markets. In addition, the Fund may enter into such transactions to enhance potential gain in circumstances where hedging is not involved. When a Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as an asset and equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

When the Fund purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.

TBA Sale Commitment

Funds entered into TBA sale commitments, within dollar roll agreements, to hedge their portfolio position or to sell mortgagebacked securities they own under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds from TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction.

Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at approximately the current value of the underlying securities. The contract is “marked-to-market” daily and the change in the value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the Fund entered the commitment.

Derivatives and Hedging

In December 2011, Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments

and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Certain obligations held in the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit, liquidity guarantees, security purchase agreements, and third party insurance (e.g. AMBAC, FGIC, FSA and MBIA).

Securities Lending

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the Funds (except Cash Reserves Money Market and European Emerging Markets) may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is each Fund’s policy that at origination all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of the U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of the foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. The collateral is maintained by the custodian. Cash collateral is reinvested in the Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund. The Funds are entitled to receive all of the income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, each Fund bears the risk of delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovery of or loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. The Fund maintains the right to recall the securities on loan for voting purposes. The income earned by each Fund is disclosed in the statement of operations.

Collateral

Futures contracts, options, swap agreements and forward delivery agreements for foreign currency and fixed income securities require either cash settlement or delivery of securities

at some future date with little or no initial investment. A Fund, which employs these investment options, is required to segregate sufficient assets to cover any potential loss. Securities that have been pledged as collateral are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and net realized gains on foreign currency transactions are declared and paid monthly for all Funds, except for (i) European Emerging Markets Fund, which are declared and paid semi-annually, and (ii) the Cash Reserves Money Market, Limited Maturity, Short Bond, U.S. Government, GNMA, Tax Exempt Bond and California Municipal Income Funds, which are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized gains on investments, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. All distributions are paid in the form of additional shares unless cash payment is requested.

Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of each Fund to meet the requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all Federal income or excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is necessary.

Each Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required under provisions of the Code, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, the basis on which these financial statements are prepared. The differences arise primarily from the treatment of foreign currency transactions and futures contracts and the deferral of certain losses under Federal income tax regulations. Accordingly, the amounts of net investment income and net realized gains or losses reported in these financial statements may differ from those reported in each Fund’s tax return. Return of capital distributions and net investment losses for tax purposes, if any, are reclassified to paid in capital.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense in the

Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended October 31, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

 

 

Affiliated Investments

Each of the Paydenfunds (except the Cash Reserves Money Market, Tax Exempt Bond and California Municipal Income Funds) invests in other Funds of the Group (an “Affiliated Fund”). The income and both realized and the change in unrealized gains and losses earned by each Fund from the Affiliated Funds for the period is disclosed in the statements of operations. The table below details the transactions of each Fund in Affiliated Funds.

Line of Credit

The Paydenfunds (except Cash Reserves Money Market) have entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of New York Mellon under which the bank has agreed to make loans to one or more of the Funds upon request by such Fund(s) and subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement. The interest rate for any such loan will vary depending upon the type of borrowing chosen by the Fund. The aggregate of all such loans to the Funds may not exceed $30 million. No Fund took a loan during the period, nor did any Fund have a loan outstanding at the end of the period.

Other

Income and realized and unrealized gain/loss are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Shared expenses incurred by the Group are allocated among the Funds of the Group on the basis of relative net assets. Fund-specific expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred.

Recent Accounting Standard

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that creates a two-tiered approach to

assess whether an entity is an investment company. The guidance will also require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value and will require additional disclosures relating to investment company status, any changes thereto and information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of the investment company’s investees. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on each Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

3. Related Party Transactions

Payden & Rygel and Metzler/Payden (the “Advisers”) provide investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, each is entitled to receive fees monthly, computed on the average daily net assets of each of the Funds separately at an annualized rate. The rates for each Fund are shown in the table below.

The Advisers agreed to guarantee that, for so long as it acts as investment adviser to the Funds, the expenses of the Funds, including advisory fees (exclusive of interest, 12b-1 fees, and taxes) will not exceed the percentages indicated above (“Expense Guarantee”) of that Fund’s average daily net assets on

an annualized basis. The adviser also voluntarily agreed to temporarily limit certain Funds’ total expenses (“Voluntary Expense Limit”), including advisory fees, to the percentages indicated above of that Fund’s average daily net assets on an

annualized basis through February 28, 2013 (exclusive of interest and taxes).

Each Fund remains liable to its respective Adviser for expenses subsidized in any fiscal year up to a maximum of three years from the end of the period in which the expenses were subsidized as long as any reimbursement will not cause the annual expense ratio for the year in which it is made to exceed the amount of the expense guarantee or voluntary expense limit (whichever is in effect at the time of reimbursement).

The deferred expense subsidies represent the cumulative amount of expenses subsidized for the Funds through the end of the period. Such amount is not considered a liability of each respective Fund, and, therefore, is not recorded as liabilities in the statement of assets and liabilities, but will be recognized as net expense in the statements of operations as expense previously deferred in future periods, if expense limits permit.

Treasury Plus, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Payden & Rygel, serves as administrator to the Funds. Under the terms of the administration agreement, Treasury Plus, Inc. receives fees monthly, computed on the average daily net assets of the Funds at an annualized rate of 0.15%.

Under a distribution agreement with the Funds, the U.S. Government, GNMA, Core Bond, High Income, Emerging Markets Bond and Emerging Markets Local Bond Funds adopted a plan pursuant to SEC rule 12b-1 by which Payden & Rygel Distributors receives fee monthly, computed on the average net assets of the Adviser class at an annualized rate of 0.25%. Payden & Rygel Distributors is not entitled to receive any fees from the Investor, or Institutional classes of the Funds.

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Funds are affiliated with Payden & Rygel, Payden & Rygel Distributors and/or Treasury

Plus, Inc. Such officers and trustees receive no fees from the Funds for serving as officers and/or trustees of the Funds.

Indemnifications

Under the Group’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified by the Funds against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently the Fund’s expect this risk of loss to be remote.

4. Fair Value Measurement

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels: Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.), and Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). See Note 2 — Securities valuation for a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses

Shareholders of mutual funds, incur two types of costs: transaction costs incurred from buying or selling fund shares and ongoing costs incurred from the funds daily operations. The table below is provided to highlight ongoing cost only. If transaction costs were included your cost would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The table below is useful in estimating actual expenses paid during the six-month period ended April 30, 2013. It uses the Fund’s actual return and expense ratio for the period (181/365 days) to calculate the ongoing expenses paid by a shareholder with an initial investment of $1,000. To estimate the actual expense that you paid over the period, divide your beginning account value by 1,000 and multiply the quotient by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period column.

Hypothetical Expenses

The table below is provided so that you can compare a Fund’s ongoing expenses with those of another fund. It uses a hypothetical gross annual return of 5%, which is not the Fund’s actual return, and the Fund’s actual expense ratio (181/365 days) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 to calculate the ongoing expenses paid by a shareholder with an initial investment of $1,000.

Semi-Annual Report


Table of Contents

LOGO

During the six months ended April 30, 2013, U.S. Treasury yields were little changed despite trading in a fairly wide range. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the period at 1.67% but traded as high as 2.05% and as low as 1.58% - representing a lack of clear direction. Headlines were dominated by the uncertainty related to the U.S. “fiscal cliff and potential “sequester”. Neither materialized into a significant economic event and the market’s reaction was muted. The Federal Reserve Board, meanwhile, continued purchasing agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries, but with more officials questioning the continued impact of the program. Risky assets including sub-investment grade securities were top performers while returns on investment-grade sectors were more modest.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Payden/Kravitz Cash Balance Plan Fund Institutional Class returned 1.15%, the Adviser Class returned 1.14% and the Retirement Class returned 0.96%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the 30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond Yield on December 31st, returned 1.43%.

Credit-related investments, including investment grade corporate, emerging markets and high yield were key contributors to Fund performance. Holdings in government-related debt to a lesser extent also added to performance. The lower return profile from these safer assets resulted in the performance that lagged the hurdle rate during the period. The Fund’s Adviser expects periodic bouts of volatility in the future as the pathway forward remains uncertain given unprecedented global central bank intervention. A primary Fund focus continues to be holdings in credit markets where strong fundamentals and healthy income should help dampen periods of turbulence.

1. Organization and Related Matters

The Payden & Rygel Investment Group (the “Group”) is a no-load, open-end registered investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 22, 1992 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended. Each of its seventeen funds (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”) is a series of the Group, and is authorized to issue unlimited shares at $0.001 par value. This report contains only the Payden/Kravitz Cash Balance Plan Fund. The other sixteen Funds are contained in a separate report.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation

Domestic and foreign fixed income securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available (other than obligations with original maturities of sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Such quotations take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. Debt securities with original maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in investment companies are valued at their net asset values as reported by such companies.

 

Publicly traded equity securities, whether in the U.S. or outside the U.S., for which market quotations are readily available generally will be valued at the official closing price or the last sale price on the exchange or market where they are principally traded, or if there have been no sales during the day, at the last bid price. Securities traded only on the over-the-counter market are valued at the latest bid price.

Options, futures, swaps and other similar assets are valued at the official closing price in the case of exchange traded derivatives or on the basis of information provided by the institution with which the Fund entered into the transaction in the case of other securities.

Fixed income or equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Valuation and Liquidity Guidelines applicable to the Fund. In considering fair value of a security, one or more factors are taken into consideration depending on the circumstances at the time, including for example: the cost of the security or the last reported sales price of the security as a starting point; changes in interest rates; changes in yield spreads of similarly rated or structured securities; fundamental analytical information relating to the security; the value of other similar securities traded on other markets or among dealers; the general financial condition of the issuer; recent developments affecting the issuer; information, including price quotations, from other financial institutions or analysts; or government actions or pronouncements and other significant events affecting the economy, the markets, the fundamental value of the issuer or of the issuer’s industry.

Fair value pricing may occur when (1) developments occur (a “significant event”) that will affect the value of a Fund’s holdings, and (2) the significant event occurs after the close of the markets on which the securities trade, but before the time when the net asset value is computed for a Fund. A significant event may relate to a single issuer or an entire market.

Risks

Unforeseen events in the markets may at times result in an unusually high degree of volatility in the markets, which could adversely affect the fund causing a decline in value.

Investing in debt securities may include failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in credit quality. In addition the value of the debt security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company including industry earnings outlook, changes in interest or currency rates or perception of a specific industry.

Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values and changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities.

Investment Transactions and Related Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the expected life of the security, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Fund may purchase securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of the respective transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in security prices.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of securities, purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of income or expenses recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalents of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates.

Forward Currency Contracts

The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Fund enters into forward contacts to protect against adverse currency movements or as speculative investments.

The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contact settlement date, or an offsetting forward foreign currency contract has been executed, at which time the 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. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Futures Contracts

The Fund invests in futures contracts to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest or exchange rates or security prices. In addition, the Fund entered into such transactions to enhance potential gain in circumstances where hedging is not involved.

The purchase or sale of futures contracts and options on futures contracts provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of a financial instrument or foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded.

Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the 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. The potential risk to the Fund is that the change in value of the underlying securities may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.

Stock index futures contracts are an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally written. Variation margin accounting procedures apply to these index futures contracts. The Fund invests in these futures contracts to permit the Fund to meet its objectives at a lower cost than investing directly in equity securities, while permitting the equivalent of an investment in a portfolio of equity securities. The potential risk to a Fund is that the change in value of the underlying index may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.

Swap Contracts

The Fund entered into total return swap agreements where the Fund and the counterparty have agreed to exchange payments based on a notional principal amount of a specified security. The total return recipient pays a financing charge based on the notional amount in exchange for the total return, which includes interest and principal appreciation or depreciation of the underlying security.

The Fund entered into credit default swap agreements where the Fund and the counterparty have agreed to pay/receive an annuity premium, which is based on a notional principal amount of a specific security/index. The annuity premium is paid/received until a credit event (e.g. grace period extension, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring) occurs or until the agreement matures. If a credit event occurs the parties will exchange the notional amount at par and the defaulted security or cash equivalent.

Options Transactions

Option techniques may be utilized by the Fund to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or security prices in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by the Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure associated with investments in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to the bond, equity and currency markets. In addition, the Fund may enter into such transactions to enhance potential gain in circumstances where hedging is not involved. When a Fund writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as an asset and equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

When the Fund purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in the Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.

Derivatives and Hedging

In December 2011, Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Securities Lending

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the Fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. All loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of the U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of the foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. The collateral is maintained by the custodian. Cash collateral is reinvested in the Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund. The fund is entitled to receive all of the income on the securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security is fully collateralized, the Fund bears the risk of delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovery of or loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner. The Fund maintains the right to recall the securities on loan for voting purposes. The income earned is disclosed in the statement of operations.

Collateral

Futures contracts, options, and forward delivery agreements for foreign currency and fixed income securities require either cash settlement or delivery of securities at some future date with little or no initial investment. The Fund is required to segregate sufficient assets to cover any potential loss. Securities that have been pledged as collateral are identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and net realized gains on foreign currency transactions are declared and paid annually. Net realized gains on investments, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. All distributions are paid in the form of additional shares unless cash payment is requested.

Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of the Fund to meet the requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company as defined in Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the ‘Code”), and

 

 

13    Payden Mutual Funds


Table of Contents

 

 

 

to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all Federal income or excise taxes. As of and during the period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund did not record any liability for uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income or excise tax was made.

The Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required under provisions of the Code, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, the basis on which these financial statements are prepared. The differences arise primarily from the treatment of foreign currency transactions and futures contracts and the deferral of certain losses under Federal income tax regulations. Accordingly, the amounts of net investment income and net realized gains or losses reported in these financial statements may differ from those reported in each Fund’s tax return. Return of capital distributions and net investment losses for tax purposes, if any, are reclassified to paid in capital.

The preceding three and the tax year ended October 31, 2012 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2013, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Affiliated Investment

The Fund invests in the Cash Reserves Money Market Fund, an affiliated Fund. Income earned by the Fund from affiliated Funds for the period is disclosed in the statement of operations.

Custodian Credits

The Fund has entered into an agreement with the custodian, whereby it earns custodian fee credits for temporary cash balance. These credits, which offset custodian fees that may be charged to the Fund, are based on 75% of the daily effective federal funds rate, and are, subject to rounding, disclosed in the statement of operations.

Other

Income and realized and unrealized gain/loss are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Shared expenses incurred by the Group are allocated among the Funds of the Group on the basis of relative net assets. Fund-specific expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred.

Recent Accounting Standard

In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that creates a two-tiered approach to assess whether an entity is an investment company. The guidance will also require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value and will require additional disclosures relating to investment company status, any changes thereto and information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of the investment company’s investees. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

3. Related Party Transactions

Payden/Kravitz Advisers LLC (the “Adviser” or “Payden/ Kravitz”) provides investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, Payden/ Kravitz is entitled to receive fees monthly, computed on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 1.10%.

Payden/Kravitz agreed to guarantee that, for so long as it acts as investment adviser to the Fund, the expenses of the Fund, including advisory fees (exclusive of interest and taxes) will not exceed 1.25% for the institutional class, 1.50% for the adviser class, and 1.75% for the retirement class of average daily net assets on an annualized basis.

The Fund remains liable to Payden/Kravitz for expenses subsidized in any fiscal year up to a maximum of three years from the end of the period in which the expenses were subsidized as long as any reimbursement will not cause the annual expense ratio for the year in which it is made to exceed the amount of the expense guarantee or expense limit (whichever is in effect at the time of reimbursement).

The deferred expense subsidies represent the cumulative amount of expenses subsidized for the Fund through the end of the year. The amount $1,021,540 ($253,293 for 2011, $336,715 for 2012 and $431,532 for 2013) is not

considered a liability of the Fund, and therefore is not recorded as a liability in the statement of assets and liabilities, but will be recognized as net expense in the statement of operations as expense previously deferred in future periods, if expense limits permit.

Treasury Plus, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Payden & Rygel, serves as administrator to the Fund. Under the terms of the administration agreement, Treasury Plus, Inc. receives fees monthly, computed on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annualized rate of 0.15%.

The Fund has adopted a plan pursuant to SEC rule 12b-1 by which Payden & Rygel Distributors receives fees monthly, computed on the average net assets of the adviser class at an annualized rate of 0.25% and of the retirement class at an annualized rate of 0.50%. Payden & Rygel Distributors does not receive a fee from the institutional class.

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Group are affiliated with Payden/Kravitz, Payden & Rygel Distributors and/or Treasury Plus, Inc. Such officers and trustees receive no fees from the Fund for serving as officers and/or trustees of the Group.

Indemnifications

Under the Group’s organizations documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified by the Fund against certain liabilities

 

 

arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Fund expects this risk of loss to be remote.

4. Fair Value Measurement

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.), and Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). See Note 2 - Securities Valuation for a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments.

5. Federal Tax Information (amounts in 000s)

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short or long term capital losses rather than being considered all short term.

As of October 31, 2012, for Federal income tax purposes the Fund had capital loss carry forwards in the amount of $490, which expires in 2019. The carry forwards are available to offset future capital gains, if any.

At April 30, 2013, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for Federal income tax purposes is as follows:

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses

Shareholders of mutual funds incur two types of costs: transaction costs incurred from buying or selling Fund shares and ongoing costs incurred from the Funds daily operations. The tables below are provided to highlight ongoing cost only. If transaction costs were included your cost would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The table below is useful in estimating actual expenses paid during the period ended April 30, 2013. It uses the Fund’s actual return and expense ratio for the period (181/365 days) to calculate the ongoing expenses paid by a shareholder with an initial investment of $1,000. To estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period, divide your beginning account value by 1,000 and multiply that number by the number in the Expenses Paid During the Period column.

Hypothetical Expenses

The table below is provided so that you can compare the Fund’s ongoing expense with those of another fund. It uses a hypothetical gross annual return of 5%, which is not the Fund’s actual return and the Fund’s actual expense ratio (181/365 days) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 to calculate the ongoing expenses paid by a shareholder with an initial investment of $1,000.
