The Marshall Large-Cap Value Fund returned 12.89% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned 14.09% and 12.85%, respectively.

 

Forces such as mortgage/sub-prime lending, inflation fears, declining housing markets, and volatile energy and commodities prices influenced the market environment over the past twelve months. Energy holdings contributed the most to the Fund’s positive return this past year as they benefited from higher than expected oil prices. Specifically, our integrated holdings in Chevron (4.2% of the Fund, +40.3%) and ConocoPhillips (4.0% of the Fund, +32.0%) performed well. The Fund also was rewarded by strong stock selection primarily in the Financials, Energy and Industrials sectors and with a number of acquisitions, including mining company Phelps Dodge (+45%), brokerage company A.G. Edwards (+51%) and chemical company Lyondell (0.6% of the Fund, +83%). The Fund held overweight positions in a variety of insurers and investment banks, including Travelers (2.5% of the Fund, up 17.6%), Goldman Sachs (1.1% of the Fund, up 19.2%), and Morgan Stanley (2.2% of the Fund, up 15.0%), which added significantly to returns. The Fund was rewarded for the second consecutive year by our Telecommunication Services holdings as they advanced 30.7% with AT&T (2.6% of the Fund) alone rising 33.1%.

 

The Fund’s holding of drug maker Pfizer (2.9% of the Fund, down 6.0%) detracted from returns as the company experienced setbacks related to new drugs and patent protection of some existing top selling drugs. The Fund continued to hold this stock as we believed that it represented an attractive opportunity for shareholders especially given its 4.7% dividend yield. In addition, the large weighting towards Financials hurt overall Fund performance as the sector returned only 2.9% for the fiscal period. Investors were concerned about the effect of mortgage defaults and a deteriorating credit environment hurting the sector.

 

The Fund’s strategy continued to focus on large, U.S. companies with proven earnings and revenue growth that trade at attractive valuations. We also actively searched for stocks with attractive dividend yields. As of fiscal year-end, over 90% of the Fund’s investments were paying dividends.

The Marshall Large-Cap Growth Fund returned 16.68% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 16.90% and 17.70%, respectively.

 

Volatility in the equity markets picked up as the year unfolded. Investors attempted to weigh the economic impacts of sub-prime lending, declining housing markets, volatile energy and commodities prices, merger and acquisition activity, and inflationary fears. However, strong corporate profits seemed to rule in the end and markets generally trended higher over the period. We maintained our disciplined strategy of focusing on large, U.S. companies with strong earnings growth and believe this will prove beneficial in the ensuing year as we expect that these stocks will increasingly come into favor.

 

The Fund benefited most from our positions in the Information Technology, Materials, and Energy sectors. Apple Computer (3.1% of the Fund) was up over 104% during the year and was the top contributor to Fund performance. Additional strong technology performance came from EMC (0.0% of the Fund), MEMC Electronic Materials (1.0% of the Fund) and Cisco Systems (3.6% of the Fund). These stocks were up 71.5%, 60.6% and 45.2%, respectively. Copper producer Phelps Dodge was up over 45% and was ultimately acquired by another Fund holding—Freeport McMoRan (1.4% of the Fund). Freeport was up 59.2% during the year. We repositioned our holdings in the Energy sector towards the higher growth drillers, equipment and service companies, establishing positions in companies such as Schlumberger (2.6% of the Fund) and Transocean (1.0% of the Fund).

 

More recently the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors were hard hit with pressures from sub-prime lending, declines in the housing market, and fears of an economic slowdown. These sectors detracted the most from Fund performance during the year, despite our reduced exposures. Another drag on performance relative to our benchmarks was our decision not to invest in online retailer Amazon due to its high valuation. Unfortunately, the stock still climbed 159% in the year. In addition, timing proved to be ever more important in the increasingly volatile market environment. As these sectors pulled back we pursued opportunities to take advantage of improved valuations only to find in several cases that it was not yet “safe to go back in the water.” An example of this is Office Depot (0.0% of the Fund). Investors had been anticipating benefits from a restructuring within the company and when these benefits failed to materialize the stock was punished.

The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund returned 13.52% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index and the Russell Midcap® Value Index, which returned 15.56% and 12.43%, respectively.

 

Nine of the ten economic sectors in the Russell Index recorded positive results during the past year. Returns ranged from over 30% in the Industrials and Materials sectors to a fractional loss in Financials. The Fund recorded positive returns in the same nine sectors as the Index. Only three sectors in the Index failed to produce returns greater than 10%, namely Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Healthcare. The common thread among these groups was that they were more leveraged to the U.S. economy than the world economy. The largest component in the Index, Financials, which makes up approximately 31% of the Index, was basically flat year-over-year, but down sharply during the back half of the fiscal year, as the well-publicized sub-prime mortgage issues affected numerous mid-cap financial stocks. The Fund retained an underweight position in Financials, but the list of interesting value stocks grew. Results in the Consumer Discretionary sector lagged the Index, as fallout from the mortgage market issues curtailed spending by consumers. The Fund held an underweight position in Consumer Discretionary at the end of the year.

 

Overweight positions in the Information Technology and Energy sectors coupled with strong stock picking added value versus the Index. Information Technology holdings were up over 30% versus the typical Information Technology stock in the Index advancing an average of 21%. We continued to find good value in the Information Technology sector with many companies reflecting strong cash flow characteristics, attractive valuations and low investor expectations.

 

The stocks in the Utilities sector in the Fund produced an average return of approximately 27%, well ahead of the 17% results in the Index. PPL Corporation (1.4% of the Fund) and Entergy Corp. (1.4% of the Fund) led the results with returns over 35% each. Stocks in the Materials segment of the Fund advanced approximately 17%, but trailed those in the Index which was up 36% overall.

The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund returned 21.00% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, which returned 24.99% and 19.31%, respectively.

 

Important positive themes influencing sector returns during the period were the continued bull market in global commodities, including energy stocks, and the continuation of strong economic growth outside the U.S., particularly in emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Thus, the top performing sectors were Materials, Industrials and Energy. An important negative influence was the domestic sub-prime mortgage meltdown and its derivative effects on the Financials sector.

 

The Fund’s performance was driven by stock selection as sector allocation dampened overall returns modestly. Industrials and Telecommunication Services produced the highest returns for the Fund versus the benchmark while the Materials and Consumer Discretionary sectors added the least.

 

The top five winners in the Fund for the period were Precision Castparts (1.5% of the Fund, up 123.3%); Gamestop Corp. (1.4% of the Fund, up 129.6%); Mastercard, Inc. (0.8% of the Fund, up 146.1%); America Movil (0.0% of the Fund, up 64.0%); and Priceline.com (1.4% of the Fund, up 61.1%). The five worst performers were Blockbuster, Inc.

The Marshall International Stock Fund returned 18.37% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index, which returned 23.18% and 18.71%, respectively.

 

The fiscal year saw a volatile environment, including a mini-crash in China that triggered a global sell-off in late February and a major market crisis in August precipitated by sub-prime mortgage problems and a global credit crunch. Most markets settled and advanced following the periods of volatility, achieving gains during most months and finishing the fiscal year in firmly positive territory. In general, markets demonstrated unexpectedly strong resilience in light of credit market risk, high energy prices, inflationary pressures and other global concerns.

 

Acadian’s portfolio outperformed its value benchmark during the fiscal year, primarily due to stock selection in Germany, Japan and Switzerland along with its country overweights in Germany and Spain, underweight in Japan, and opportunistic allocations to Canada, Korea, China and Turkey. Less successful investments included stock selection in the United Kingdom, Sweden and the Netherlands. Their portfolio benefited from its sector overweights in Materials, Energy and Industrials, as well as from its underweight in Financials. Gains from these sectors, however, were partially reduced from the portfolio’s underweight in Consumer Staples and Utilities. Given the strong upward markets for the majority of the period, it is unsurprising that Price Momentum was the strongest quantitative factor for active return. Investors continued their tendency to follow winning stocks as they rose over the period, while driving unsuccessful issues further down.

 

Trilogy underperformed its growth benchmark during the fiscal year. On a sector basis, the Materials, Telecommunication Services, Industrials, and Utilities sectors produced the largest gains. In contrast, the Healthcare sector was the only sector to generate a negative return during the period and the Financials, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary sectors also lagged the overall market. Geographically, all non-U.S. regions generated positive returns during the period with the Pacific ex-Japan region leading the way, followed by continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Emerging markets generated very strong returns, finishing far ahead of the developed regions during the period. Finally, stock selection in continental Europe and the United Kingdom contributed positively to relative performance, but were offset by the Fund’s Asian holdings.

The Marshall Aggregate Bond Fund inception was June 1, 2007 and the Fund returned 2.11% for the three months ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Fund Index and Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.05% and 1.77%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve held the Fed Funds rate constant at 5.25% throughout the fiscal year 2007. However, the Fed lowered the Discount rate and injected more overnight liquidity than at any time since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Subsequent to the Fund’s fiscal year, the Federal Reserve reduced both the Fed Funds rate and the Discount rate.

 

The need for liquidity and subsequent rate cuts are mainly a reaction to the concerns in the housing market. While inflation remained the “predominant risk” through the period, the housing market emerged on the Federal Reserve’s radar in the second half of the year. The housing concerns spread into the credit markets causing credit spreads to widen at an alarming rate as investors bolted to the safety of Treasury securities. As the prices of Treasuries rose, the yields declined. The inverted yield curve at 2006 fiscal year end began to normalize in the later half of fiscal 2007. The short end fell more significantly than the long bond, with the 6-month Treasury bill yielding 5.10% on August 31, 2006 versus 4.20% on August 31, 2007. The 30-year Treasury bond yield also fell slightly from 4.88% to 4.82%, respectively.

 

Subsequent to its June 1, 2007 inception, the Fund positioned itself to weather the storm of continued volatile fixed income markets. As the yield curve continued to steepen, the Fund remained slightly short duration to curb some volatility. While the Fund started out in June fairly bearish on corporate bonds, the Fund began to seek opportunities as they developed from the widening credit spreads. As we expect additional Fed Funds rate movements, the Fund will adjust its duration and sector allocations appropriately to attempt to take advantage of those opportunities.

The Marshall Government Income Fund returned 4.71% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index and Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, which returned 4.38% and 5.31%, respectively.

 

Fiscal years 2005 and 2006 saw the Federal Reserve tighten the Fed Funds rate 17 times. Fiscal year 2007 saw no Fed Funds movement and only one Discount rate easing in the last month of the year. Eventually, the Federal Reserve reduced both the Fed Funds rate and the Discount rate subsequent to the Fund’s fiscal year.

 

The housing market concerns boiled over into the credit markets and caused the injection of the most overnight liquidity provided by the Fed since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Hedge funds were the first to feel the pain of the sub-prime housing market concerns, by freezing and, in some cases, closing funds altogether. The tightening of credit spreads to begin the 2007 fiscal year gave way to a massive flight to quality and a widening in credit spreads as investors sought the safety of Treasury securities. Treasury yields moved lower from the beginning to the end of the fiscal year, however, more aggressively on the shorter end than the longer bond. The 2-year Treasury note lost 64 basis points while the 10-year lost 20. The more abrupt pull back in the short-term Treasury yields gave way to a more normalized yield curve as opposed to the inverted yield curve that existed at fiscal year end 2006. The jobs number remained a bright spot in the economy as the unemployment figure ticked up slightly from 4.5% to 4.6% from the beginning to the end of fiscal 2007.

 

The Fund started the fiscal year with a neutral duration position, which it has since moved to slightly short duration in anticipation of subsequent Fed Funds rate cuts. The Fund’s slightly short duration may have caused some of its under performance against its Lehman index, however the primary reason would be that an index does not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. While inflation remains on the radar screen for the Federal Reserve, they may need to take further action to quell the housing problems’ effect on the overall economy; further rate cuts could lead to mounting inflationary pressure. A slightly short duration stance should help to curb some of that volatility. We expect the Fund to continue to utilize highly rated mortgage-backed securities to embrace a potential further steepening of the yield curve.

The Marshall Short-Intermediate Bond Fund (formerly named the Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund) returned 3.86% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Index and Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Intermediate Index, which returned 4.33% and 5.53%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve left the Fed Funds rate unchanged throughout the fiscal year, citing a “predominant risk” for inflation. The Federal Reserve did adjust the Discount rate by 50 basis points in the last month of the fiscal year. They also injected liquidity due to contagion from the housing market, particularly the sub-prime housing market, into the credit markets, which led to a credit crunch.

 

Credit spreads at the beginning of 2007 were at historically tight levels and proceeded to widen out dramatically in July and August, creating a flight to quality as investors liquidated credit exposures and moved into the safety of Treasury securities. As the flight to quality emerged, the yield curve, which began the fiscal year inverted, moved to a more normalized position. The 30-year Treasury bond gave up only 6 basis points from fiscal year end 2006 to 2007, with yields of 4.88% and 4.82%, respectively. The five-year Treasury also gave up 45 basis points with returns of 4.69% and 4.24%. With the Discount rate already adjusted, the yield curve has already priced in a few Fed Funds adjustments. It will be a difficult task for the Federal Reserve to balance the Fed Funds rate adjustments and the impact on inflation.

 

The Fund’s duration was slightly shorter than its peer group, which has detracted slightly from performance, but a shorter duration may help the Fund to navigate a choppy fixed income market in the next fiscal year. The Fund also was underweight in corporate bonds in fiscal 2007, which detracted from performance in the first half of the year. However, as the credit crunch widened spreads and the flight to quality developed, the corporate market began to reveal some potential value. With the potential for continued easing of the Fed Funds rate and further steepening of the yield curve, we believe the Fund is well poised to exploit opportunities in mortgage-backed securities and the corporate sector where available.

The Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund returned 2.59% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index and Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligations Bond Index, which returned 2.15% and 3.19%, respectively.

 

The latest fiscal year encompassed a time frame without any rate change in Federal Reserve monetary policy. Consequently, yield changes in the municipal bond market between 1-7 year maturities ended within 10 basis points of where the year began. Longer maturity bonds suffered in comparison, as yields shifted proportionately higher, causing price declines that subtracted from total return. The yield curve return profile was just the opposite one year ago.

 

The Fund particularly benefited from exposure to the 3-6 year part of the municipal yield curve as that represented the “sweet spot” of the annual total return performance profile. Based on our analysis, we continued to overweight this segment in relation to our competition. The move to increase credit quality within the Fund also was additive to performance, as a tiering of return based upon higher credit quality outperforming lower quality was evident. The Lehman benchmark captures a narrow band of the yield curve and will, in certain time periods, outperform most actively managed funds, including the Fund during the fiscal year, that use more of a “laddered” structure.

 

Given the depressed state of the real estate market in many geographic regions, we anticipate that property assessments may flatten out or modestly decline over the next year. Municipalities accustomed to higher tax revenues based upon real estate transactions escalating valuations of entire regions may find budgeted revenue numbers harder to achieve. As an example, Florida’s budget has already been affected by an unpredicted $1 billion shortfall based solely upon a slower real estate market. Florida may be an extreme, but other areas will likely be affected with similar problems. We will continue to emphasize municipal issuers that, in our opinion, are not overly reliant on an increased re-appraisal of property valuations.

 

The recent flight to quality in the U.S. Treasury market has caused most other bond sectors to lag in performance. We now consider municipal bonds quite cheap versus Treasury yields. Coupled with the idea of potential tax rate increases during the next presidential term, tax-free bonds may continue to offer an opportunity for high tax bracket taxpayers.

The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund returned 4.78% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Debt Funds Index and Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Corporate Index, which returned 4.42% and 5.49%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve kept the Fed Funds rate constant at 5.25% throughout the 2007 fiscal year. The Fed tightened 25 basis points 17 straight times from June of 2004 through June of 2006. They stayed on the sideline until the middle of August 2007, when they reduced the Discount rate by 50 basis points to 5.75% and subsequently reduced both the Fed Funds rate and the Discount rate after the Fund’s fiscal year end. Inflation remained the forerunner on the Federal Reserve’s radar screen, but has recently been joined by the housing market as another area of high concern. The housing, and particularly the sub-prime housing, market problems have spread into the credit markets. Fortunately, unemployment remained a bright spot in the economy with the unemployment rate near a historical low at 4.6%.

 

The Treasury yield curve was strongly influenced by a flight to quality. As the housing concerns spread into the credit markets, investors sought vehicles of safety with the main source being Treasury securities. The yield curve started the fiscal year inverted and stayed that way through most of the year. The extreme flight to quality brought bond yields down, most significantly on the short end, which caused the yield curve to begin to normalize. The 3-month Treasury bill dropped 92 basis points from 5.03% on August 31, 2006 to 4.11% on August 31, 2007. The long bond also fell but a much more moderate 6 basis points from 4.88% to 4.82%, over the same period.

 

The Fund held its own in a very volatile fixed income market. The Fund was underweight in Treasuries while overweight in Agencies, which contributed to the Fund’s under performance to the Merrill Lynch index. Treasuries were expensive due to the strong flight to quality at the end of the fiscal year. The Fund lengthened its overall duration exposure at the beginning of the fiscal year, but moved to a more neutral stance at the end of the fiscal year with expectations of the subsequent Fed actions.

The Marshall Prime Money Market Fund returned 5.06% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Money Market Funds Index and iMoney Net, Inc. Money Fund Report Averages, which both returned 4.83%.

 

The Federal Reserve met 17 times from June of 2004 to June of 2006 and tightened the Fed Funds rate 25 basis points each time. Since June of 2006, however, the Federal Reserve has remained on the sidelines until recently when the Fed cut the Fed Funds rate and the Discount rate subsequent to the Fund’s fiscal year. During the fiscal year, the Federal Reserve split their focus between the inflation risk and the emerging housing problems. The housing problems began in the sub-prime mortgage area and have since spread into certain credit markets. Even with the fallout in the mortgage and credit markets, unemployment figures remained at historic lows.

 

The Federal Reserve’s decision to hold the Fed Funds rate at 5.25% kept the yield curve inverted throughout most of the fiscal year. Eventually, the yield curve began to normalize with the short end yielding slightly more than the longer bonds. The 3- and 6-month Treasury bill yields ended at 4.11% and 4.20%, respectively. While the 2- and 3-year Treasury note yields finished at 4.13% and 4.15%, respectively. The yield curve steepened on the long end of the curve with the long bond adding 69 basis points over the 2-year note. The 60- and 90-day A1/P1 commercial paper yields also were inverted with the 60-day yielding 6.18% while the 90-day yield was at 6.07%.

 

The Fund outperformed its benchmark and peer group by taking advantage of opportunities as they presented themselves. An example would be the utilization of floating rate notes as opposed to more expensive securities such as Agencies and Treasuries. While increased volatility swayed subsequent actions by the Federal Reserve, the Fund stayed on the short side of the curve during the fiscal year to take advantage of the inversion. We expect that the yield curve will normalize, and plan to extend the Fund’s average weighted maturity to take advantage of potential opportunities down the curve.

The Marshall Government Money Market Fund returned 4.99% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index and iMoney Net, Inc. Government Money Market Index with 4.72% and 4.55%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve cited inflation as the “predominant risk” to the economy throughout the fiscal year. While inflation remained a focal point of the Federal Reserve, a new concern over the housing market emerged on the radar screen. Mounting concerns over housing had the Federal Reserve trying to perform a balancing act as the concerns within the housing market spilled over into the credit markets. The Federal Reserve maintained their 5.25% Fed Funds rate throughout the fiscal year, but reduced both the Fed Funds rate and the Discount rate subsequent to the Fund’s fiscal year. August also saw the Federal Reserve inject the most overnight liquidity since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. While the Federal Reserve had their hands full with housing and inflation, unemployment remained at historically low levels. The unemployment figure ticked up only 0.1% throughout the fiscal year from 4.5% to 4.6%.

 

The yield curve also adjusted during the fiscal year. The inverted yield curve that we saw at fiscal year end 2006 continued through the first half of the 2007 fiscal year. The long bond only recently steepened out significantly over its short-term counterparts. The short end has come down much more than the long bond, contributing to a more normalized shape in the yield curve as the flight to quality continued. The 2006 fiscal year end saw the 3-month Treasury bill at 5.03% as opposed to the 4.11% at 2007 fiscal year end. The long end 30-year Treasury bond moved from 4.88% to 4.82%, over the same period.

 

The Fund continued its strength versus the benchmark to close out August 31, 2007. The drop in yields had an inverse relationship with increasing prices, especially in Treasury securities. Therefore, the Fund utilized agency repurchase agreements as opposed to other expensive positions in the government money market sector. The Fund slightly extended its average weighted maturity, attempting to capture higher yields, which the Fund implemented at the beginning of 2007 and has proved successful since.

The Marshall Tax-Free Money Market Fund returned 3.33% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007 versus the Lipper Tax Exempt Money Market Funds Index and iMoney Net Fund Report Tax-Free National Retail, which returned 3.15% and 3.12%, respectively.

 

Depending on what data you choose to look at, the past year has either been pretty strong for the U.S. economy, or a complete disaster. Quite a contrast. On the one hand, we have the housing market in free fall. Many, many borrowers were lent more money than they could afford to repay once their adjustable “teaser-rate” mortgages reset upward. According to certain market prognosticators, the housing slowdown may cause job cuts, reduced consumer spending, and possibly a recession. Additionally, gasoline prices remained at all-time highs and the war in the Middle East dragged on.

 

Despite those issues, second quarter GDP came in at 4% and the unemployment rate was at 4.6%, 0.1% higher than a year ago. Outside of industries related to housing, business investment remained strong. Consumer spending held up, and tax receipts collected by the U.S. government kept growing. The U.S. standard of living has never been higher and few developed countries around the world were in recession. Additionally, stocks performed fairly well and commodities and oil saw record levels, a sign that the U.S. economy may still have legs.

 

So the question is, “Will the U.S. economy fall substantially based solely on a pullback in the housing market?” It seems as if the U.S. economy is, or at least should be, capable of sustaining forward momentum. But as managers, we will always hedge our views (and portfolio positions) to find the best fit of performance, stability, and flexibility.

 

Over the past year, the Fed Funds rate has been static at 5.25%. We felt that it would be unchanged, so we focused on buying opportunistically rather than trying to position the Fund for a rate cut or rate increase. The Fund’s average maturity was extended a couple times during the year when fixed rate notes were cheap, or to take advantage of normal seasonal trends, but our overall duration position was generally neutral. The Fund remained widely diversified across sectors and industries. Credit spreads began to gradually widen over the past few months, but not enough to justify taking on more credit in the portfolio.

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 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 of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a 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 values 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 a 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.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Expenses are equal to the Funds’ expense ratios multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
(2) The Fund classes commenced operations on 6/1/07. The Funds’ expense ratios are multiplied by 92/365 (to reflect the partial period).
(3) Marshall Funds filed an amendment to its registration statement on March 15, 2007, effective June 1, 2007, that includes changes to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after waivers) for certain Funds. If the changes had been in place throughout the period for an investment of $1,000, the actual Ending Account Value, Annualized Expense Ratio and Expenses paid during the Period would have been, respectively, for Government Income—Advisor Class: $1,016.46, 0.80% and $4.07; Government Income—Investor Class: $1,015.80, 0.80% and $4.06; Short-Intermediate Bond—Advisor Class: $1,012.60, 0.80% and $4.06; Short-Intermediate Bond—Investor Class: $1,012.20, 0.76% and $3.88; Intermediate Tax-Free—Investor Class: $1,005.15, 0.55% and $2.78; Short-Term Income—Advisor Class: $1,019.82, 0.60% and $3.05; and Short-Term Income—Investor Class: $1,019.30, 0.60% and $3.03. If the changes had been in place throughout the period for an investment of $1,000, the hypothetical (5% return before expenses) Ending Account Value, Annualized Expense Ratio and Expenses paid during the Period would have been, respectively, for Government Income—Advisor Class: $1,026.86, 0.80% and $4.09; Government Income—Investor Class: $1,025.70, 0.80% and $4.08; Short-Intermediate Bond—Advisor Class: $1,025.90, 0.80% and $4.09; Short-Intermediate Bond—Investor Class: $1,021.15, 0.76% and $3.89; Intermediate Tax-Free—Investor Class: $1,025.25, 0.55% and $2.81; Short-Term Income—Advisor Class: $1,026.12, 0.60% and $3.06; and Short-Term Income—Investor Class: $1,022.00, 0.60% and $3.03.

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.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported on a national securities exchange, including NASDAQ. U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities with maturities of 60 days or more, unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the time for determination of NAV or at fair value as discussed below. Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. The money market funds use the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. Fixed income securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value.

    Marshall Funds

 

Securities or other assets for which market valuations are not readily available, or are deemed to be inaccurate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”). The Directors have established a Pricing Committee, which is responsible for determinations of fair value, subject to the supervision of the Directors. In determining fair value, the Pricing Committee takes into account all information available and any factors it deems appropriate. Consequently, the price of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security and the differences may be material to the NAV of the respective Fund or the financial statements presented.

 

Securities held in the Marshall International Stock Fund may be listed on foreign exchanges that do not value their listed securities at the same time that the Fund calculates its NAV. Most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally 3:00 p.m. (Central Time). The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim, which may affect a security’s value.

 

The Pricing Committee may determine that a security needs to be fair valued if, among other things, it believes the value of the security might have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market in which the security was principally traded, but before the time for determination of the NAV (“a subsequent event”). A subsequent event might include a company-specific development (for example, announcement of a merger that is made after the close of the foreign market), a development that might affect an entire market or region (for example, weather related events) or a potentially global development (such as a terrorist attack that may be expected to have an effect on investor expectations worldwide). The Directors have retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities. The service utilizes statistical data based on historical performance of securities, markets and other data in developing factors used to estimate a fair value. As of August 31, 2007, 98.3% of the total long-term investments of the Marshall International Stock Fund were fair valued; none of the securities held in the other Funds were fair valued.

 

Repurchase Agreements—The Funds’ policy requires the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.

 

The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, which are deemed by the Funds’ adviser (or sub-adviser with respect to International Stock Fund) to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

 

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions—Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value.

 

The Funds offer multiple classes of shares (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund) which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in class-specific expenses. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the total shares outstanding of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses attributable to a particular class of shares, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees are allocated directly to that class.

 

Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses—All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for tax and financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payments of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of net investment income.

 

Federal Income Taxes—The Funds’ policy is to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are recorded.

 

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the commitment to purchase securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

 

Futures Contracts—Certain Funds may purchase futures contracts to manage cash flows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Options Contracts—Certain Funds may write covered call and put options on futures, swaps, securities or currencies a Fund owns, or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

Certain Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium which is included in a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

 

For the year ended August 31, 2007, the Large-Cap Value Fund had $202,713 in realized gains on written options.

Foreign Exchange Contracts—Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Certain Funds may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of certain Funds’ foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of these Funds’ foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. 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. At August 31, 2007, the Funds had no outstanding forward currency contracts.

 

Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FC”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

 

Dollar Roll Transactions—The Funds, except for the money market funds, may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, in which the Funds sell a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution and simultaneously agree to buy a substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) security at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions are short-term arrangements which will not exceed twelve months.

 

Securities Lending—Certain Funds participate in a securities lending program providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities to qualified brokers. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the prior day’s market value on securities loaned. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. On May 18, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order to the Marshall Funds that exempts certain securities lending activities from prohibitions under the Act. Under the terms of the exemptive order, (i) the Funds may pay a portion of net revenue to Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company N.A. (“M&I Trust”) for its services as securities lending agent, and (ii) cash collateral received for a loan of one Fund’s securities may be invested jointly with collateral received for loans of other Funds’ securities.

Restricted Securities—Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Directors. The money market funds’ restricted securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

 

Additional information on each illiquid restricted security held by the Funds at August 31, 2007 is as follows:

Redemption Fees—The Funds (other than the Government Money Market Fund, Prime Money Market Fund, and Tax-Free Money Market Fund) impose a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. All redemption fees are recorded by the Funds as paid-in-capital.

 

Commitments and Contingencies—In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Corporation’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Corporation that have not yet occurred. However, the Corporation has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific security lot identification.

4.   Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, paydown gain or loss, market discount accretion, premium amortization and expiring capital loss carryforwards.

 

To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification and had no impact on the net asset value of the Funds.

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies and the discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

9.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Management continues to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to the Funds, and is not in a position to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements at this time.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs), and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied. Management continues to evaluate the application of the Statement to the Funds, and is not in a position at this time to evaluate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.

 

In addition, in February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), which is also effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS 157. FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of the Statement to the Funds, and is not in a position at this time to evaluate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Marshall Funds, Inc.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marshall Large-Cap Value Fund, Marshall Large-Cap Growth Fund, Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund, Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund, Marshall International Stock Fund, Marshall Aggregate Bond Fund, Marshall Government Income Fund, Marshall Short-Intermediate Bond Fund, Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, Marshall Short-Term Income Fund, Marshall Prime Money Market Fund, Marshall Government Money Market Fund and Marshall Tax-Free Money Market Fund (each a series of Marshall Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the period then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights of the Funds for the periods ended August 31, 2005 and prior were audited by other independent auditors. Those independent auditors expressed an unqualified opinion in the report dated October 26, 2005.

Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts

 

Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) has an investment advisory contract with M&I Investment Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) under which the Adviser manages the Marshall Funds (the “Funds”). The Corporation also has sub-advisory contracts with two sub-advisers for the management of the investments of Marshall International Stock Fund. The investment advisory contract and the sub-advisory contracts are referred to as the “Contracts.” The Directors of the Corporation, 75% of whom have never been affiliated with the Adviser (“Independent Directors”), oversee the management of each Fund and, as required by law, determine at least annually whether to continue the Contracts.

 

In connection with their most recent consideration of the Contracts, the Directors received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser and its affiliate, Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, which is the Funds’ administrator (the “Administrator”), and by the respective sub-advisers in response to detailed requests of the Independent Directors and their independent legal counsel. They discussed with representatives of management the operations of the Funds and the nature and quality of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser, the Administrator and the sub-advisers. The Independent Directors also received and reviewed a memorandum from their counsel regarding their responsibilities in considering continuation of the Contracts. They also considered a broad range of information they had received during the preceding year in the course of their service as Directors, including information gained in their meetings with each of the portfolio managers of the Funds. Throughout their consideration of the Contracts the Independent Directors were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors met on two separate occasions with management to consider the Contracts, and at each of those meetings they also met separately in executive session with their counsel.

 

At a meeting held on August 8, 2007, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser, the Administrator and the sub-advisers and other information, the Directors determined that the overall arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Administrator and, in the case of Marshall International Stock Fund, the sub-advisers, the fees charged for those services, and other matters that the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting the Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the investment advisory contract for each Fund and the sub-advisory contracts for Marshall International Stock Fund, each for an additional one-year period, subject to earlier termination as provided in each Contract.

 

In considering the continuation of the Contracts, the Directors reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ determination to approve the continuation of the Contracts are discussed separately below.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

The Directors reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser, the Administrator and the sub-advisers, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of each Fund and the knowledge the Directors gained from their regular meetings with management on at least a quarterly basis and their ongoing review of information related to the Funds. In addition, the Directors reviewed the resources and key personnel of the Adviser and sub-advisers, especially the personnel who provide investment management services to the Funds. The Directors also considered other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Administrator and the sub-advisers, such as managing the execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, providing administrative services, monitoring adherence to the Funds’ investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Directors and Director committees, communicating with shareholders and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures of the Funds and with applicable securities laws and regulations.

 

The Directors concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided to each Fund by the Adviser and the Administrator, and to Marshall International Stock Fund by each sub-adviser, were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the respective Contracts, that the quality of those services had been consistent with or superior to quality norms in the industry and that the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services. They also concluded that the Adviser, the Administrator and each sub-adviser had sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve the Funds effectively and had demonstrated their continuing ability to attract and retain well-qualified personnel.

 

Performance of the Funds

 

The Directors considered the performance of each Fund over various time periods. They reviewed information comparing each Fund’s performance with the performance of the Fund’s benchmark and with the performance of comparable funds and peer groups identified by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”). They concluded that some Funds had performed extremely well over all or nearly

 

92


Table of Contents
Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (continued)

 

all time periods considered and that a majority of the Funds had performed as well as or better than the medians for their respective Lipper categories for each of those periods. Although the performance of some Funds lagged that of their peers for certain periods, the Directors also concluded that the Adviser was taking appropriate steps to address the under-performance.

 

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser

 

The Directors examined information on the fees and expenses of each Fund in comparison to information for other comparable funds as provided by Lipper. They noted that the rate of management (investment advisory and administrative) fees for many of the Funds, after voluntary fee waivers, were below the median management fee rates for the funds in their respective Lipper expense peer groups, and that a substantial majority of the Funds had total expense ratios below the median expense ratios of their peer groups. Moreover, the Adviser agreed to reduce the rate of its advisory fee at various breakpoints for each non-money market Fund, and the Administrator agreed to a modification of its fee schedule for each non-money market Fund; those changes are effective as of September 1, 2007 and collectively will result in an immediate reduction in the aggregate advisory and administration fees paid by each non-money market Fund.

 

The Directors considered the methodology used by the Adviser and the sub-advisers in determining compensation payable to their portfolio managers, the competitive environment for investment management talent and the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.

 

The Directors also reviewed management fees charged by the Adviser to its separate account clients. Although the separate account fee rates for various investment strategies at asset levels above $50 million were lower than management fees for Funds having similar strategies, the Directors noted that the Adviser and the Administrator perform significant additional services for the Funds that they do not provide to those other clients, including administrative services, oversight of the Funds’ other service providers, Director support, regulatory compliance and numerous other services, and that, in serving the Funds, the Adviser and the Administrator assume many legal risks that they do not assume in servicing many of their other clients.

 

The Directors also considered the profitability to the Adviser and the Administrator of their relationships with each Fund. They recognized that profitability comparisons among fund managers are difficult because very little comparative information is publicly available and profitability of any manager is affected by numerous factors, including the organizational structure of the particular manager, the types of funds and other accounts it manages, possible other lines of business, the methodology for allocating expenses and the manager’s capital structure and cost of capital. However, based on their review they concluded that the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds was not unreasonable.

 

Finally, the Directors considered the financial condition of the Adviser and each sub-adviser, which they found to be sound.

 

The Directors concluded that the rates of management fees and other compensation payable by each Fund to the Adviser and its affiliates after giving effect to the reductions in fees of the Adviser and the Administrator, as well as the fees paid by the Adviser to the sub-advisers of Marshall International Stock Fund, were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and the fees the Adviser charges to other clients. The Directors also concluded that the overall expense ratio of each Fund was reasonable, taking into account the size of the Fund, the quality of services provided by the Adviser, the investment performance of the Fund and the expense limitations provided by the Adviser.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Directors received and considered information about the potential of the Adviser to experience economies of scale as the assets of the Funds increase. They noted that the expense ratios of almost all Funds were below the median expense ratios for their respective peer groups; and, for those Funds whose expenses are being reduced by the voluntary waivers by the Adviser of a portion of its fees, the Adviser is subsidizing the Funds. Moreover, the changes in the fee schedules to both the investment advisory contract and the administrative services agreement as of September 1, 2007, will result in an immediate expense reduction for each non-money market Fund and will result in additional savings if the net assets of those Funds exceed applicable breakpoints. Based on all of the information they reviewed, the Directors concluded that the proposed fee structure of each Fund was reasonable and that the rates of fees do reflect a sharing between the Adviser and the Fund of economies of scale at the current asset level of the Fund.

 

Other Benefits to the Adviser

 

The Directors also considered benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and the use by the Adviser and one of the sub-advisers of commissions paid by many of the Funds on their portfolio brokerage transactions to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients of the Adviser. The Directors concluded that the use of the Funds’ “soft” commission dollars to obtain research products and services was consistent with

regulatory requirements and was likely to benefit each Fund that pays brokerage commissions. The Directors also concluded that, other than the services provided by the Adviser pursuant to the investment advisory contract and the fees to be paid by each Fund therefor, the Funds and the Adviser may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. They concluded that the Adviser benefits from the receipt of research products and services acquired through commissions paid on portfolio transactions of the Funds and that the Funds benefit from the Adviser’s receipt of those products and services, as well as research products and services acquired through commissions paid by other clients of the Adviser. They further concluded that success of any Fund could attract other business to the Adviser and that the success of the Adviser could enhance the Adviser’s ability to serve the Funds.

 

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Contracts, the Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory contract for each Fund giving effect to the reductions in fees, and the sub-advisory contracts for Marshall International Stock Fund, was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
