The Marshall Large-Cap Value Fund returned –10.48% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned –14.27% and –14.66%, respectively. A slowing economy, slumping housing market and the tightening of the supply of credit all negatively affected the financial markets over the past twelve months.

 

In the past year, the Fund was helped by strong stock selection in the Industrials, and Technology sectors and a significant underweight in Financials. The Industrials sector was aided by the strong performance of the Fund’s defense stocks, Lockheed Martin (1.3% of the Fund, +19.2%) and General Dynamics (1.1% of the Fund, +19.3%) due to their stable earnings in a weakening economy. The active decision not to own General Electric contributed 122 basis points of relative outperformance as the stock was down 25.1% for the year. The attractiveness of reoccurring revenue allowed the Fund’s software stocks Symantec (1.5% of the Fund, +30.9%) and Oracle (0.6% of the Fund, +10.5%) to post impressive returns in a down market. Leery of the large number of write-offs related to bad loans, the Fund maintained an underweight in Financials and continues to focus on the higher quality banks that have increased their dividends, such as U.S. Bancorp (2.0% of the Fund, +1.0%) and PNC Financial (0.6% of the Fund, +6.5%).

 

The Fund’s focus on value opportunities did not provide protection from certain “value traps.” While positioning within the Information Technology sector, where there was a strong source of alpha for the Fund, the Fund’s position in Nvidia (0.0% of the Fund) dropped 66.7%, as it was sold during the fiscal year. The Fund’s holding of energy company Valero (0.6% of the Fund) also fell 48.7%, as refining margins plummeted due to record high oil prices.

 

The Fund maintained throughout the year a disciplined strategy of focusing on large U.S. companies with proven earnings, revenue growth, attractive valuations and the added benefit of attractive dividend yields. As of August 31, 2008, approximately 93% of stocks in the Fund pay dividends.

The Marshall Large-Cap Growth Fund returned –6.62% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned –6.18% and –6.77%, respectively.

 

Volatility continued to dominate the equity markets as investors contended with the economic impacts of sub-prime lending, declining housing markets, volatile energy and commodities prices, and ultimately fears of a recession. Market uncertainty typically leads investors toward traditional growth companies with proven track records in hopes of finding stability.

 

The Fund benefited most from its positions in the Technology, Materials, and Healthcare sectors. Gilead Sciences (1.4% of the Fund), a biotechnology firm specializing in HIV medications, was up 45.0% during the year and was the top contributor to Fund performance. Strong Technology performance came from Apple Computer (3.6% of the Fund), Marvell Technology (0.0% of the Fund) and IBM (0.0% of the Fund). These stocks were up 22.4%, 27.0% and 25.2%, respectively. Agricultural biotech firm Monsanto (1.8% of the Fund) was up 65.0% during the year.

 

The Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors remained troubled areas for investing for the majority of the year. The Fund’s positions in Consumer Discretionary stocks detracted from performance despite the reduced exposure to the sector. Investments in companies like Kohl’s (retail clothing), Garmin (GPS systems), and ITT Educational Services (post-secondary education) proved ill-timed and were sold at a loss.

 

The Fund also lost ground due to investments in Consumer Staples stocks. The Fund remained largely underweight in the sector for much of the year based on valuations and muted growth expectations, however market turmoil led investors to seek a safe haven in the sector. Additionally, investments in agricultural commodity company Archer Daniels (0.0% of the Fund) and beverage distributor Hansen Natural (0.2% of the Fund) did not experience the growth as expected.

 

Financials actually proved to be a positive for the Fund as it avoided many of the troubled firms like Freddie Mac, Sallie Mae, and American Express. Instead, investments in companies such as financial advisor Charles Schwab (1.3% of the Fund) and diversified insurance company Assurant (1.1% of the Fund), were up 22.3% and 14.3%, respectively. Also, sales in several brokerage stocks prior to the problems encountered toward the year’s end were helpful.

 

The Fund maintained throughout the year a disciplined strategy of focusing on large U.S. companies with strong earnings and revenue growth opportunities. The Fund’s Adviser believes this will prove beneficial in the ensuing year as they work through this challenging market environment.

The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund returned –10.27% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index and the Russell Midcap® Value Index, which returned –9.61% and –10.44%, respectively.

 

On a relative basis, the Fund’s performance was slightly better than the Russell Benchmark, and trailed the Lipper benchmark by less than 1%. In a relatively short investment time period such as one year, performance versus an index can be expected to vary. This year, all three performed relatively in line with each other.

 

Three of the ten economic sectors in the Russell Index recorded positive results. Two sectors, both tied to the global growth theme, namely Energy and Basic Materials, led the Index. Healthcare, a relatively small component of the Index, rose modestly. The Fund recorded positive results in Energy, but trailed the Index results in Basic Materials and Healthcare. The underperformance in Basic Materials was the largest negative deviation among the sectors. Not owning Mosaic Co. and U.S. Steel Co. detracted from relative performance, as both stocks were up significantly and represented large weightings in the Index.

 

An underweight position in Financials, coupled with strong stock picking, propelled significant positive variances versus the Index in this group. The average stock in Financials was down approximately 13% versus an average of over 22% in the Index. The Financials sector represents the largest part of the Index with a weight of almost 30%. This sector poses the greatest challenge to investors as the housing related debacle continues to create a high level of uncertainty. Cheap stocks were found in the group, however, understanding the various aspects of the credit crunch continues to be difficult. The Fund maintains an underweight position in Financials relative to the Index.

 

The Consumer Discretionary sector in the Index was down almost 25% as consumers retrenched, causing many consumer stocks to perform poorly. The Fund’s holdings were down less, providing strong relative outperformance. While no specific stock propelled the outperformance, avoiding many of the significant drops in several stocks (over 50%) helped performance.

The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund returned –2.06% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, which returned –6.44% and –7.57%, respectively.

 

The fiscal year may be characterized as a tale of two markets as the bull market in equities ended in late 2007 and a bear market began to unfold in 2008. Important themes influencing returns were the now well-publicized problems in the credit markets and the resultant negative impact on U.S. economic growth, the subsequent slowdown in economies around the world, and the abrupt end to the bull markets in various commodities.

 

Thus, the top-performing sectors were Healthcare, Telecommunication Services, Energy and Materials, with the inclusion of the latter two the result of a combination of the sheer strength of the prior bull market in Energy and other commodities, and the timing of the Fund’s fiscal year-end. For example, the price of crude oil has declined by approximately one-third during the past few months and the stock price of the typical exploration and production company has declined by an even larger amount.

 

The Fund’s performance was driven primarily by stock selection as sector allocation had a modestly negative impact. Healthcare, Materials and Energy produced the highest returns versus the Russell benchmark while Consumer Staples, Financials and Utilities provided the worst.

 

The top five winners in the Fund for the period were: Ultra Petroleum (0.0% period-ending weight in the Fund, up 65.6%); Petrohawk Energy (2.7%, up 128.6%); Quicksilver Resources (0.0%, up 52.2%); Central European Distribution (2.3%, up 31.5%); and Transocean, Inc. (0.0%, up 41.1%). The five worst performers were: Crocs, Inc. (0.0%, down 49.1%); Pilgrim Pride Corp. (0.0%, down 38.2%); Goodyear Tire (0.0%, down 39.9%); Central European Media (1.8%, down 25.5%); and Exco Resources (2.0%, down 25.5%).

The Marshall International Stock Fund returned –18.11% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE) of –14.22% and –14.41%, respectively.

 

The global market environment changed materially in mid-2007, reflecting unease among investors, who are reacting to a host of issues including:

 

   

U.S. housing market meltdown and its effect on the U.S. and global economies

   

Exposure of major global financial institutions to sub-prime loans

   

Tightening of global credit

   

Elevated price of oil and other inflation triggers

   

Geopolitical instability of global hot spots such as Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and North Korea.

 

During this tumultuous period, all major sectors with the exception of Utilities posted negative returns. Geographically, all non-U.S. regions generated negative returns during the period. Emerging Markets also generated negative returns, but finished ahead of the aggregate return of the developed regions during the period. Generally, investors avoided value issues and sought safety in large, liquid stocks perceived to have more assured earnings in an increasingly uncertain global economy.

 

Acadian’s portfolio trailed its EAFE Value benchmark as the credit crisis led to hedge fund de-leveraging and the shrinking of their quantitative equity portfolios to meet margin calls. Significant money flowed out of quantitative equity strategies similar to Acadian’s, causing those strategies to suffer more significant negative returns. The markets which saw the most negative return from stock selection included Japan, Germany, and France. The portfolio also was most challenged in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors.

 

Trilogy’s portfolio was comparable to its EAFE Growth benchmark. During the fiscal year, stock selection in the Financials, Healthcare and Industrials sectors added the most relative value while holdings in the Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Energy sectors detracted the most from performance. Geographically, stock selection in Hong Kong, Sweden and France contributed positively to performance while holdings in Germany, Japan, and Norway detracted from performance. On an individual stock basis, significant contributors for the period were Cairn Energy, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Elekta, while detractors included Mediolanum, Acergy, and Nokia.

The Marshall Aggregate Bond Fund returned 4.32% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Fund Index and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 1.79% and 5.86%, respectively.

 

The fiscal year 2008 saw a very active Federal Reserve, which aggressively eased rates 325 basis points from September 2007 to April 2008. The main focus of the Fed’s rate cut cycle was the fast deterioration in the housing market. Home prices declined over 18% from the peak in June 2006 through the Fund’s fiscal year-end. The home price slide caused a massive contagion in the credit markets, which saw financial companies start a capital raising campaign. The weak financial markets caused fear and panic for investors causing selling across the board in stocks and bonds. Unemployment steadily crept up during the year as well, and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1% from 4.7%. With the uncertainty in the markets and further economic deterioration expected, investors clamored for the safety of the government as the flight to quality ensued. Treasury yields slipped substantially on the short end of the curve as the six-month Treasury yield fell 226 basis points over the fiscal year. The five-year Treasury yield also fell 116 basis points to end the fiscal year at 3.08%.

 

The Fund fared well during the extremely volatile fiscal year. While the Fund was underweight in Treasury securities, which pulled down performance slightly, it was overweight in Agencies and the high quality mortgage sector helping the overall performance. Spread product, even high quality finance bonds, was hurt from the credit crunch. The Fund will continue to underweight the Treasury sector as the price rally leaves little room for further appreciation from current levels. The Fund will continue to exploit high quality spread product in the commercial and residential mortgage market, while selectively looking for opportunities in the corporate space.

The Marshall Government Income Fund returned 4.01% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index and the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, which returned 3.21% and 7.03%, respectively.

 

Fiscal year 2008 proved to be interesting for the economy, markets, and most of all the Federal Reserve. The Fed, partnered with the Treasury, developed and utilized many different tools throughout the last year. The Fed relied on its trusted rate easing powers to reduce rates 325 basis points during the first part of fiscal 2008. After the aggressive easing cycle the Fed decided with the Treasury to open the discount window to investment banks for the first time in history, through the Primary Dealer Credit Facility. These unprecedented efforts calmed investor fear for short stints as the deteriorating economy and housing market brought the stock and bond markets into deep red figures. Housing prices fell over 18% during the fiscal year, prompting the contagion to spread into the credit markets. Financials saw the waves of fear approaching and mounted a massive capital raising blitz. However, the efforts were “too little, too late” as the panic deepened and investors sold spread product and moved to the safety of the government. Government bond prices rallied especially on the short end of the yield curve as yields gave up 240 and 177 basis points on the three-month Treasury bill and the two-year Treasury note, respectively.

 

The Fund quickly moved to a neutral duration position versus the benchmark during the first part of fiscal 2008 in an attempt to sustain the market volatility. The Fund had, and continues to have, a bearish stance on the Treasury sector, as prices have sustained huge rallies. The Fund did not see much value left in the Treasury market and therefore utilized high quality residential and commercial mortgage backed securities. Even though these high quality spread products did not perform quite as well as Treasury securities, they are well poised going forward in fiscal 2009.

The Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund returned 6.84% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index and the Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligations Bond Index, which returned 4.21% and 7.16%, respectively.

 

The challenge in writing this report is how to describe all that occurred in such a short space, even for the normally steady municipal market. In response to the credit crunch that began in earnest a year ago, the Federal Reserve cut rates by 325 basis points during fiscal year 2008 among many other measures. The slowing economy and market turmoil pressured investment banks and other financial institutions, including the AAA ratings of monoline insurers. For years, the insurers have held a dominant position in the market, at times comprising as much as 70% of new supply, but as their ratings were lowered, confusion and price uncertainty rippled through the market.

 

The Fund was well positioned for this turmoil due to its relatively high-quality, intermediate focus. Yet, it was not a smooth transition for the market from near total dependency on bond insurers to, essentially, ignoring their enhancement completely. At times, the market was extremely illiquid, hurt further by the merger and/or demise of several municipal dealers. Ultimately, the very highest quality issues among the intermediate maturity segment, three to seven years especially, performed the best as the yield curve steepened. Widening credit spreads caused lower quality issues to lag.

 

The flipside of the turmoil in the tax-exempt market was that at the close of the fiscal period, the relative value of municipal yields rarely has been better. Although nominal yields have fallen over the year, they have not kept pace with the decline in Treasury yields. With tax-rates potentially on the rise, retail investors have taken notice of the municipal market again and demand has increased.

 

One strategy that has enhanced performance over the past year has been to focus not just on finding securities to buy at attractive yields, but also a willingness to sell bonds at favorable prices when demand is strong. Part of what makes this work is a plentiful new supply of bonds to replace any that are sold, but also identifying pockets of demand at above market levels. The Fund is particularly well suited to respond to these and other market inefficiencies due to the experience of the existing investment team and the Fund’s competitive size.

The Marshall Short-Intermediate Bond Fund returned 1.91% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Index and the Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Intermediate Index, which returned 2.62% and 6.05%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve was extremely active during the 2008 fiscal year. Not only did the Fed cut rates by 325 basis points, but they also utilized a number of other tools in an attempt to quell the deteriorating housing market. Home prices declined over 18% from the peak in June 2006 through the Fund’s fiscal year-end. As home prices declined, credit markets began to feel the pain as a massive flight to quality ensued. Unemployment crept up to 6.1% as more and more people searched for work due to the contraction in the housing and financial markets. Inflation also broke out of the Fed’s comfort zone as headline inflation ended the fiscal year at 5.4%. Oil was a major contributor to the inflation figure even as oil sold off more than 20% from its peak of $145 per barrel in mid-July. With mounting volatility, investors clamored for safety in government securities. Treasury yields slipped substantially on the short end of the curve as the six-month Treasury yield fell 226 basis points over the fiscal year. The two-year yield also fell 177 basis points to end the fiscal year at 2.37%.

 

The Fund moved its duration into a neutral stance versus the benchmark in an attempt to curb the market volatility. The Fund exploited oversold corporate bonds at historical wide spreads. Unfortunately, as the credit crunch developed the positions didn’t recover as quickly as initially thought, which detracted from performance. However, with high quality spread product and the expected recovery of the housing and financial system, the Fund should be well positioned for market opportunities over the next fiscal year.

The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund returned 3.38% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Debt Fund Index and the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Corporate Index, which returned 1.62% and 5.81%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve cut rates by 325 basis points during the Fund’s fiscal year. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury also utilized a number of other tools to support the markets and the economy. For example, the Primary Dealer Credit Facility allowed investment banks, including broker-dealers, to borrow directly from the Federal Reserve in an attempt to provide needed liquidity to help quell the mounting housing and credit deterioration. The plan worked, but in relatively short-lived bursts, as the economy continued to weaken.

 

Housing prices declined over 18% from the peak in June 2006 to August 2008. As home prices declined, credit markets began to feel the pain as well. The liquidity provided by the government and repeated capital-raising steps by financial corporations were unable to cure the mounting contagion. Unemployment crept up to 6.1% as more people searched for work due to the contraction in the housing and financial markets. Inflation also broke out of the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone as headline inflation ended fiscal year 2008 at 5.4%. Oil was a major contributor to the inflation figure even as oil sold off more than 20% from its peak of $145 per barrel in mid-July. With excess volatility, investors flocked to safety in government securities. Treasury yields fell substantially on the short end of the curve as the three-month Treasury started the fiscal year at 4.11%, and ended at 1.71%. The two-year yield was no exception, starting the fiscal year at 4.13% and ending at 2.37%.

 

The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund performed well in a very volatile fixed income market. The Fund continued its underweight stance in Treasuries, which detracted from performance. Treasuries were and continue to be expensive due to the strong flight to quality and the Fund continues its underweight position into fiscal 2009. The Fund also exploited the high quality residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities sector along with high quality asset-backed securities. The Fund moved its duration exposure to neutral in an attempt to offset some of the market volatility going into fiscal year 2009.

The Marshall Prime Money Market Fund returned 3.65% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Money Market Funds Index and the iMoney Net, Inc. Money Fund Report Averages, which returned 3.35% and 3.07%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve, coupled with the Treasury, was faced with unprecedented times during fiscal year 2008. The Federal Reserve cut 325 basis points off rates in an attempt to calm the housing and credit markets. Rate cuts, while well received, were extremely short lived. This prompted the Federal Reserve and the Treasury to act together to inject liquidity in alternative forms, including the Primary Dealer Credit Facility which allowed investment banks, or non-depository institutions, to borrow directly from the Federal Reserve. The new facility eased investor fears for a short period of time, as the economy continued to crumble.

 

Housing prices declined over 18% from the peak in June 2006 to the Fund’s fiscal year-end. Credit markets felt the wrath of the housing market as the Financials sector’s attempt to raise capital backfired and investors liquidated stocks and bonds and moved to the safety of the government. As a result of the tumbling markets, unemployment began to rise, closing out the fiscal year at 6.1%. Inflation also exceeded the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone with headline inflation closing out the fiscal year at 5.4%. Oil was a major contributor to the inflation figure, even as oil sold off more than 20% from its peak of $145 per barrel in mid-July. With excess volatility, investors flocked to safety in government securities. Treasury yields fell substantially on the short end of the curve as the three-month Treasury started the fiscal year at 4.11%, and ended at 1.71%. The six-month T-Bill yield also fell substantially from 4.20% and closed out the fiscal year at 1.95%.

 

The Marshall Prime Money Market Fund performed exceptionally well during the fiscal year. The Fund was and will continue to underweight Treasury securities due to their already very low yield. The Fund utilized Asset Backed Commercial Paper to gain some yield advantage. The Fund also opted for Libor-based floaters as they offer a comparable spread advantage to U.S.-based floaters. The Fund also extended its average weighted maturity to capitalize on opportunities down the curve, which should have the Fund well positioned going into fiscal 2009.

The Marshall Government Money Market Fund returned 3.19% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index and the iMoney Net, Inc. Government Money Market Index, which returned 2.86% and 2.52%, respectively.

 

The Federal Reserve cut rates by 325 basis points in one of the most aggressive easing cycles in history. The cut in rates was one of a number of tools utilized by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury in an attempt to calm the volatility within the markets. A tool that was enacted for the first time was the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, which allowed investment banks to borrow directly from the discount window, similar to a depository institution. The positive effect of the rate cuts and new availability with the discount window were short lived as the deterioration in the housing market spread to the credit markets. Corporations, particularly financial institutions, had a massive capital raising campaign to quell the contagion within the economy. Investor fears were sedated only for a short period of time as the huge flight to quality ensued as the markets and the economy continued to weaken.

 

Housing prices declined over 16% on a year-over-year basis at the same time inflation fears increased, ending August 2008 at 5.4%. Oil, a major contributor to the headline inflation figure, was up over 55% even with a 20% pull back in July. As a result of the tumbling markets, unemployment began to rise, closing out the fiscal year at 6.1%. Investors clamored for the safety of the government as Treasury yields fell substantially on the short end of the curve. The three-month Treasury started the fiscal year at 4.11%, and ended at 1.71%. The six-month T-Bill yield also fell substantially from a high of 4.20% during the fiscal year to end at 1.95%.

 

The Marshall Government Money Market Fund performed very well versus the benchmark to close out the fiscal year. Treasury securities continued their rally as the Fund maintained and will continue its underweight stance, due to their already very low yield. The Fund looks opportunistically to add to the Agency sector as Agency spreads have widened versus Treasuries. The Fund also will exploit floating rate notes that offer a comparable advantage to the Treasury sector. The Fund is well positioned to continue its strong performance into fiscal year 2009.

The Marshall Tax-Free Money Market Fund returned 2.57% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008 versus the Lipper Tax Exempt Money Market Fund Index and the iMoney Net Fund Report Tax-Free National Retail, which returned 2.21% and 2.18%, respectively.

 

The past year has been one of the more tumultuous ones for the financial markets in recent history. The decline in housing prices nationwide led to a negative spiral in capital ratios throughout the financial and insurance industries. The U.S. is now seeing signs that the troubles on Wall Street are beginning to migrate to Main Street. Unemployment has been gradually rising and U.S. GDP has been trending lower. The past year also has seen extreme volatility in the Energy sector and in agricultural products. Rising demand for oil and gas throughout the world has outpaced new discoveries and a mandate to make more ethanol from U.S. corn has had a significant effect on the price of corn and corn substitutes, including wheat and soybeans. So the consumer has been getting hit from multiple directions: housing, the gas pump, and the grocery store. Despite this, consumer spending has held up remarkably well.

 

The Federal Reserve began cutting the Fed Funds rate in September 2007 and went on to cut from 5.25% to 2.00% by the April 30, 2008 meeting. The Federal Reserve also has trimmed the spread between the Fed Funds rate and the Discount rate to just 25 basis points, cutting from 6.25% to 2.25%. Since April, the Federal Reserve has not changed rates, though they have taken steps to inject additional liquidity into the market from time to time. We could see rates going either way in the coming months. If the economy weakens further, inflation may become less of a concern which could open the way for an additional Fed Funds rate cut. But if the U.S. consumer holds on and keeps spending, and we see a bottoming in the housing market, we could see the Federal Reserve begin to raise rates at some point in the coming year. As managers, we will always hedge our views (and portfolio positions) to find the best fit of stability, flexibility, and performance.

 

We positioned the Fund to have a longer average weighted maturity during much of the year and especially during the summer months. We bought notes whenever we perceived relative value, while maintaining the vast majority of assets in securities that reset daily or weekly. The Fund remained widely diversified across sectors and industries.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2008

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended August 31, 2008 (3/1/08-8/31/08).

 

Actual Expenses

 

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

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 each trading day at the last sale price or official closing price reported on a national securities exchange, including NASDAQ. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued each trading day 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. Equity securities without a reported trade, 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. Municipal and corporate 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. 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. The money market funds use the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

    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 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, 2008, 93.3% of the total long-term investments of the International Stock Fund 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 only will 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 (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund) offer multiple classes of shares 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 value of 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—Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are generally 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—It is the Funds’ policy 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 necessary.

 

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

 

In-Kind Redemptions—In certain circumstances, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for redemption of Fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund recognizes a gain on the in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; the Fund recognizes a loss if cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on the in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes, and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain or loss to paid-in capital. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, Mid-Cap Value Fund had $1,076,932 in realized gains on in-kind redemptions.

 

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.

 

At August 31, 2008, the following Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:

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 period ended August 31, 2008, the Large-Cap Value Fund had $524,821 in realized gains on all option contracts.

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.

 

Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 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 foreign currencies, 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.

 

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, 2008 is as follows:

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, the valuation of which is discussed in “Investment Valuations” in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. When a Fund lends its portfolio securities, it is subject to the risk that it may not be able to get them back from the borrower on a timely basis, in which case the Fund may lose certain investment opportunities. A Fund is also subject to the risks associated with the investments of cash collateral received from the borrower. 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.

 

Cash collateral received as part of the securities lending program was jointly pooled and invested in the following securities as of August 31, 2008 (1):

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 effect on the net asset value of the Funds.

 

Effective February 29, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is ‘‘more-likely-than-not,’’ (i.e., greater than 50 percent) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

 

FIN 48 requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statutes of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities (i.e., the last four tax year-ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have no examinations in progress. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Funds reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds’ tax returns and concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no effect on the Funds’ reported net assets or results of operations as of and during the year ended August 31, 2008. Management of the Funds also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

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.

At August 31, 2008, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which reduce the Funds’ taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

The fee paid to M&I Trust is based on each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to the Equity Funds and Fixed Income Funds and the aggregate average daily net assets of all the Money Market Funds. M&I Trust may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. M&I Trust can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

 

Distribution Services Fee—The Prime Money Market Fund is subject to a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act.

Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Investor Services (“MIS”), a division of M&I Trust, each Fund pays MIS at the annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor and Advisor Class shares for the period. The fee paid to MIS is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. MIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

 

Custodian Fees—M&I Trust is the Funds’ custodian, except for the International Stock Fund for which State Street Bank and Trust Company maintains custody. M&I Trust receives fees based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets consisting of two basis points on the first $250,000,000 and one basis point thereafter for the period.

 

Securities Lending—The Funds pay a portion of net revenue from securities lending to M&I Trust for its services as the securities lending agent.

No borrowings were outstanding under the LOC at August 31, 2008. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the average daily loan balances outstanding were $3,525, $16,595, $2,186, and $82,112, and the weighted average interest rates were 5.0625%, 2.6563%, 5.0000%, and 5.0176%, respectively.

9.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 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 March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. 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.

 

10.   Subsequent Events (Unaudited)

Market Conditions Subsequent to Fiscal Year-End

 

Subsequent to the fiscal year-end of the Funds, financial markets have incurred an unusually high degree of volatility, especially in the equity markets. Those markets have declined significantly in response to the foreclosures and restructurings of several major financial institutions. As a result, the Funds’ net asset values per share reflect those market movements.

 

Fund Participation in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds

 

On October 2, 2008, the Prime Money Market Fund, Government Money Market Fund, and Tax-Free Money Market Fund filed a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) and paid a fee to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”). The Board of Directors determined that each of these Fund’s participation in the Program was in the best interests of the Funds and their respective shareholders. Under the Program, the Treasury will guarantee the share price of shares of a fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value per share falls below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) during the coverage period and the fund is required to liquidate. The Program’s guarantee is for the lesser of: (a) the number of fund shares owned by the shareholder at the close of business on September 19, 2008; or (b) the number of fund shares owned by the shareholder on the date of a Guarantee Event. Each Fund paid a fee equivalent to 0.01% of each Fund’s net assets to participate in the Program. If the Treasury elects to extend the guarantee period beyond December 18, 2008 and the Funds continue to participate, additional fees will be paid by the Funds.

 

Temporary Revision of Rule 2a-7 For Valuing Money Market Funds

 

Rule 2a-7 of the Act requires money market funds to periodically calculate the extent of deviation, if any, of the current net asset value per share calculated using available market quotations from the money market fund’s amortized cost price per share. On October 10, 2008, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Investment Management issued a no-action letter granting relief until January 12, 2009 to allow money market funds to comply with Rule 2a-7 by using the amortized cost method of valuing certain of their portfolio securities unless the particular circumstances, i.e., the impairment of the creditworthiness of the issuer, suggest that amortized cost is no longer appropriate. The staff’s position is limited to portfolio securities that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are first tier securities and the fund reasonably expects to hold to maturity. The valuation procedures for the Prime Money Market Fund, Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund were revised accordingly as of the letter’s issue date.

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

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the 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 Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, Marshall Short-Intermediate Bond 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, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year 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, 2008 by correspondence with custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights of the Funds for the period 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.

Shareholder Report Disclosure of Directors’ Approval of Continuation of Contracts

 

 

Approval of Continuation of 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, more than 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 each Contract.

 

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 July 30, 2008, 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 all time periods considered and that a majority of the Funds had performed as well as or better than the medians for their

 

98


Table of Contents
Shareholder Report Disclosure of Directors’ Approval of Continuation of Contracts (continued)

 

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.

 

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, 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 a substantial majority of the 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. 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.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The Registrant has a code of ethics (the “Code”) that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. During the period covered by this report, there were no amendments to the provisions of the Code, nor were there any implicit or explicit waivers to the provisions of the Code.
