A MESSAGE FROM:

Dear Shareholder:

I recently read a market commentary that stated the ‘easy money’ has been made in the stock and bond markets. I couldn’t disagree more. I believe that the hardest money investors have ever made was over the past twelve harrowing months. While it took a high degree of fortitude to remain invested, as we look forward, there is an emerging sense that the markets have stabilized and rebounded.

As we look out over the investment and economic landscape, we believe the preponderance of indicators are beginning to turn more positive. While many pundits agree that the global economy and capital markets are recovering, what remains in doubt is the shape of the recovery. The burning question remains—what is the shape of things to come?

There are those who argue persuasively that we have entered a ‘new normal’ where the forces of the deleveraging process will be marked by a long-term desire to minimize debt rather than to maximize profits, consumption or growth. They project a dour view of paltry economic growth as far as the eye can see.

Then there are those who argue convincingly that history has shown the deeper the economic pullback, the more dynamic the rebound. They claim that deep inventory reductions coupled with pent up demand from foregone consumption, combined with fiscal and monetary stimulus, create a powerful force that catapults economic activity and corporate profits to unforeseen levels of robust growth.

The question of what comes next becomes even more confusing when it is complicated by divergent views on government deficits, currency movements, inflation threats and the forces of demographic shifts as well as globalization of trade and competition. I believe that attempting to predict the outcome of these different scenarios with any kind of certainty is fraught with peril. No doubt there will be fits and starts to the signs of recovery, as well as confirming data and non confirming data validating or invalidating these various prognostications.

At Forward, we believe that a reasoned approach to diversification is the best way to proceed. We have always maintained that asset allocation with non-correlated asset classes is the best way to maintain a strong portfolio. Coming out of a distressed period, it would be reasonable to expect to see diversification benefits improve as correlations across asset classes decline to more normal patterns. As the dust settles, local markets and different asset classes typically return to their own unique rhythms and cycles.

We remain focused on asset classes that will benefit from the continued recovery, as well as overall global growth. Past experience has shown that diversifying across various return patterns and rebalancing assets to an identified level of tolerable risk benefits investors. Of course, discussion of an appropriate allocation of assets needs to include an assessment of one’s risk tolerance and time horizon, and we believe such an evaluation is best undertaken with a financial advisor or an investment professional.

This year was a year of growth for Forward Funds. In June, we added the Kensington Funds to the Forward Funds family. These four funds—Forward Global Infrastructure Fund, Forward International Real Estate Fund, Forward Select Income Fund and Forward Strategic Realty Fund—complement Forward’s extensive roster of funds and offer investors further opportunities to diversify their portfolios with income-oriented products. The portfolio management teams have built deep expertise in global

real estate and infrastructure—the Global Infrastructure Fund invests in companies that may benefit from economic stimulus packages and the Select Income Fund offers investors the potential to generate significant income with a focus on REIT preferred equities.

Additionally, our ongoing conversations with investment professionals have uncovered the need for products that allow investors to be more nimble and tactical in asset allocation decisions. In response, Forward launched the Forward Tactical Growth Fund which has broad latitude in being able to position itself long or short in response to changing market dynamics. We invite you to learn more about our new funds at www.forwardfunds.com.

We remain deeply committed to helping our shareholders attain true portfolio diversification and achieve their long-term financial goals. We believe that transparent practices give our investors access to the information they need to make important investment decisions. I invite you to review the information in this report and the performance of the Forward Funds in 2009, and thank you for the continued confidence that you place in our Funds.

Best regards,

Accessor Growth Fund

 

Government support was the key driver of equity market performance and the S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index in 2009. Heading into March, the economy was facing the highest unemployment in 25 years, with ten of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts reporting deteriorating economic conditions, and the banking system reporting continued weakening in the credit quality of businesses and households. These economic conditions negatively impacted stock market returns, as the S&P 500 Index fell over 22% from January 1, 2009 to March 9, 2009. Through federal government stimulus (both monetary and fiscal), corporate bailouts, and accounting rule changes, the government effectively supported the economy and reversed the stock market decline. While the economy did stabilize after March, and GDP (gross domestic product) did grow in the third quarter, the growth in 2009 was significantly supported by government intervention, setting the stage for a period of modestly below-trend economic growth in the future.

The concerted effort by the government to prop up the economy encouraged extraordinary risk-taking in companies previously believed to be on the brink of failure. As a result stocks of the lowest quality companies with the worst near term earnings prospects performed the best after the March bottom. Conversely, share prices of companies with the most sustainable earnings growth prospects recovered, but at far lesser rate.

This impact is best captured by looking at stock performance after an earnings announcement. Historically, companies reporting earnings greater than expectations have superior price performance when compared to companies that disappoint investors. Following the early March lows companies reporting a large negative surprise (an earnings miss greater than 5%) performed better than companies reporting a marginal positive surprise (an earnings beat defined as >0% to 5%). In fact, even companies reporting marginal negative surprises (an earnings miss defined as -5% to <0%) performed better than marginal positive surprise companies.

Smith Asset Management Group, L.P. (the “Smith Group”), the Accessor Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) sub-advisor, employs a part quantitative and part fundamental investment process. This process attempts to identify companies that are able to consistently deliver better than expected earnings growth. These are typically companies with conservative accounting policies and solid corporate governance practices.

For the year, the Accessor Growth Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 26.7% and its benchmark index, the S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index, returned 31.6%. For the year, the majority of the underperformance occurred in the second quarter. The factors involved included underperformance of high financial quality and earnings quality companies, underperformance of low risk companies, and underperformance of high earnings stability and high earnings momentum companies. The underperformance was primarily due to stock selection, not asset allocation.

Accessor Value Fund

 

The beginning of the year was marked by extreme risk aversion and market distress amid historic volatility, driven in part by deleveraging and forced outflows from hedge funds, mutual funds and trading desks. The first two months of the year saw a sharp dip in the equity market, as investors fled to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and other liquid assets amid dismal Q408 earnings announcements and mounting concern over employment, the housing market, and consumer spending. This suddenly shifted, however, to more favorable equity results beginning in March 2009, accompanied by a dramatic reversal in market sentiment. Investors moved rapidly from avoiding risk at all cost to adding some of the riskiest stocks to their portfolios, as they sought bargains in anticipation of an economic and financial market rebound. This focus on lower-quality stocks with depressed share prices sparked a “junk rally” in which many quantitative factors, especially momentum, severely underperformed.

Over the summer, narrow market conditions prevailed, with the leading stocks tending to be the worst performers of late 2008 and early 2009. These securities rose appreciably, many making double-digit gains from March through September. At the same time, signs of global economic recovery increased as corporate profits exceeded the market’s reduced expectations supporting investors’ appetite for risk and cheapness at the expense of earnings and financial quality. Investor focus began to shift in October and November from demand for the cheapest of value stocks to earnings as a key driver of stock attractiveness. Risk conditions began to stabilize under renewed attention to fundamentals, though market leadership remained quite narrow. Quantitative factor results remained highly mixed.

Overall, 2009 ended on an upbeat note with as the S&P 500 Index returned 26.5% in U.S. dollars. This broad result, however, masked high volatility and extraordinarily bifurcated markets with regard to the kind of stocks that drove returns. As a result of these conditions, we are now seeing a very wide spread of factor data, with many stocks very attractively valued relative to peers. These typically are favorable conditions for disciplined active stock selection.

Acadian Asset Management, the Accessor Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) sub-advisor, employs a quantitative investment process. This process analyzes valuations, earnings, size and momentum at an individual stock level, as well as relative to an industry peer group, in order to forecast an expected return.

For the year, the Accessor Value Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 17.1% and its benchmark index, the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index, returned 21.2%. The dominant themes of low quality and distressed assets during the year hurt the Fund’s overall performance. Sector allocations drove losses, offsetting modest gains from stock selection. The combination of underweight positions in the Consumer Discretionary and Utilities sectors, and overweighting in the Energy sector detracted from performance. Successful overweighting in Materials, Information Technology and Health Care, along with positive stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Materials and Health Care sectors helped offset some underperformance.

Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund

 

While several major themes drove performance in 2009, perhaps the most notable was the extreme volatility of factor behavior. The first quarter marked a period of continued S&P 500 decline from the market high of October 9, 2007, to the low on March 9, 2009. However, beginning in first quarter 2009 we observed a shift in investor attitude toward riskier assets, which facilitated the dramatic turnaround in the performance of lower quality/distressed stocks. This, in turn, led to the broad market rally. Finally, in the last three months of the year, investor preference shifted from low quality/turnaround stocks to a new phase of cautious optimism consistent with the early stages of a recovery in which investors are focused on real return and growth. Once again, risk was re-priced as investor focus shifted away from higher risk stocks toward higher quality issues with solid growth prospects.

In the small and mid cap stock universe, retail and semiconductors were among the strongest performing industries in 2009. Bank stocks declined in 2009 and were among the worst performers in the fourth quarter as investor concerns over financials persisted. Regarding fundamental factors, risk was rewarded throughout most of the year with factors such as distress, beta and zero yield (non-dividend paying) being among the strongest performers. While beta continued to be rewarded in the fourth quarter, other factor returns indicated that a preference for risky assets subsided and investors instead began to reward higher quality growth stocks.

Los Angeles Capital Management (“LA Capital”), the Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund’s (the “Fund”) sub-advisor, employs a quantitative process based on investor preference theory. The model generates 20 dynamic alpha model factors that attempt to discern the different factors that are driving equity returns in the current market environment.

For the year, the Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 32.9% and the benchmark index, the Dow Jones Wilshire 4500 Completion Index, returned 37.4%. The Fund benefited from overweights to Retail and Technology while underweights to Software and Services, and Capital Goods detracted from return. While lower exposure to stocks with strong price momentum and a tilt toward stocks with higher price to earnings (PE) ratios added value in 2009, this was offset by the Fund’s higher quality bias which impaired performance in March and into the second quarter. Specifically, the Fund’s underweight to more risky, distressed assets and companies that do not pay dividends—both of which rallied strongly throughout the year in accordance with the low quality reversal—detracted from returns.

Accessor International Equity Fund

 

It was a rewarding year for equity investors, with many major indices posting significant gains for the year. Market risk was very profitable as high beta, small cap and emerging market stocks posted the strongest relative returns. Confidence in the global recovery, coupled with a favorable global monetary policy, propelled investor demand for equities, particularly attractive or cyclical and depressed financial names. The last quarter saw a change to the risk rally that began in March, as earnings quality and price momentum gained prominence and drove the market through the end of the year.

Lazard Asset Management (“Lazard”), the Accessor International Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) sub-advisor, utilizes a long-only quantitative strategy with a process that seeks opportunity in four different areas: discounted valuations, underappreciated growth, investor momentum and sustainable quality. Unlike many quantitative strategies, Lazard’s process is dynamic and continually evolving. The quantitative team is supported by a global fundamental research team and global team of traders.

Lazard’s stock evaluation models experienced significant rotation in effectiveness throughout the year. In the first two months, market sentiment indicators were the best performing factors as price momentum and analyst sentiment provided positive discrimination. With the very strong “junk” rally from March to September, value (attractively priced) stocks did exceptionally well almost without regard to any other measure including quality, growth or sentiment. The fourth quarter saw a return to “balance” in factor family effectiveness—value underperformed modestly, and quality and sentiment measures helped drive Fund performance. The large disparity—measured in terms of quintile spreads—in model effectiveness that was prevalent in the middle part of the year dissipated along with high levels of market volatility.

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection in the final quarter of 2009. For the year, the Accessor International Equity Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 37.0% and the benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE + EM Index, returned 40.4%. Consistent with Lazard’s approach, relative returns were primarily driven by stock selection, with primary drivers in Utilities and Autos. Holdings in the Oil and Gas, and Telecommunication industries detracted from performance.

Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund

 

Volatility defined the year, beginning with sharp market declines until the S&P 500’s bottom on March 9. The subsequent bull market, led by record calendar-year returns in the high yield and emerging market indices, helped investors recoup some of 2008 losses as the global economy emerged from recession. Much of the market recovery can be attributed to government intervention as policy decisions—both monetary and fiscal—supported the economy and reversed stock market declines. Many of the issues concerning investors in the end of 2008, such as liquidity concerns and systemic failures, were addressed in 2009 with interbank lending falling to exceptionally low levels and global monetary policy loosening money supply. Government intervention, in the form of rescue programs such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and “Cash for Clunkers” targeting troubled industries, helped ease concerns of a global depression and 2009 ended strongly, with the S&P 500 Index up 26.5% on the year.

Alternative assets in 2009 reacted differently to the year’s themes. Carry trade strategies were up, though returns were modest in comparison to equity markets. Global interest rates were depressed throughout the year offering little opportunity for carry trade strategies with few high yielding currencies in which to invest. Commodities enjoyed a positive year as well with the DJ UBS Commodity Index returning nearly 19%, though it trailed the S&P 500 Index on the year. Investment in real estate was rewarded in 2009 as international real estate rose 40.1% as measured by the Dow Jones Global ex U.S. Real Estate Index, outpacing its domestic counterpart, as well as the S&P 500 Index.

Forward Management manages the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”), which seeks to provide investors with exposure to assets that exhibit low historical correlations with global stocks and bonds. The Fund primarily invests in commodities, currencies and real estate to achieve its objective. Despite rising correlations between most asset classes, the Fund was able to help diversify investor portfolios by providing exposure to assets with different risk characteristics than typical global stocks and bonds.

For the year, the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund’s Institutional Class returned 12.2% and the composite benchmark, 50% S&P 500 Index/50% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 16.3%. The Fund’s underperformance can be attributed to weak performance in the Fund’s commodity exposure. In a year where long commodities were up 18.9%, as measure by the DJ UBS Commodity Index, the Fund’s commodity exposure was linked to the S&P Commodity Trend Index, a long/short commodity index. In contrast to a long only strategy, the Fund’s commodity exposure returned -8.6% in 2009, the primary detractor to performance. The currency exposure in the Fund had positive return but lagged the blended benchmark, further detracting from performance. With global interest rates near zero, few carry trade strategies were additive to returns. On a bright note, the Fund’s investment in real estate helped mitigate much of the performance. Domestic real estate as an asset class rebounded from its precipitous drop in 2008 to return 24.9% in 2009, as measured by the Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index. International real estate fared even better. Buoyed by positive currency movements, international Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS), as measured by the Dow Jones Global ex US Real Estate Index, was up 40.1% for the year.

Accessor Frontier Markets Fund

 

Volatility defined the year, beginning with sharp market declines until the S&P 500’s bottom on March 9. The subsequent bull market, led by record calendar-year returns in the high yield and emerging market indices, helped investors recoup some of 2008 losses as the global economy emerged from recession. Much of the market recovery can be attributed to government intervention as policy decisions—both monetary and fiscal—supported the economy and reversed stock market declines. Many of the issues concerning investors in the end of 2008, such as liquidity concerns and systemic failures, were addressed in 2009 with interbank lending falling to exceptionally low levels and global monetary policy loosening money supply. Government intervention, in the form of rescue programs such as TARP and “Cash for Clunkers” targeting troubled industries, helped ease concerns of a global depression and 2009 ended strongly, with the S&P 500 Index up 26.5% on the year.

Frontier market countries had a wide range of success in 2009. The largest components of the MSCI Frontier Markets Index, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries such as Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain, as measured by the MSCI GCC Countries ex Saudi Arabia Index, returned a modest 4.7% compared to the broad MSCI Frontier Markets Index, which was up 11.6% in 2009. Some of this can be attributed to the credit crisis experienced by the United Arab Emirates in late 2009, as a major government-owned company in Dubai announced it would seek to restructure its outstanding debt. Fearing that this news could be the harbinger for a credit crisis in neighboring countries, markets quickly dropped and credit default swaps (CDS) spreads rose. However, while GCC countries are the largest component of the broad index, the remaining countries were unaffected by this news, a benefit to the asset class. For 2009, the MSCI Pakistan Index was up 88.9%, the MSCI Vietnam Index was up 31.7%, and the MSCI Sri Lanka Index was up 190.8%.

Forward Management manages the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund (the “Fund”), which was launched on December 31, 2008. The Fund’s primary goal is to provide comprehensive exposure to the frontier markets asset class through the use of structured products, ETF’s and individual equities designed to deliver the returns of the frontier markets. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Frontier Markets (MSCI FM) Index, consists of 25 countries in five geographic regions—the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

For the year the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund’s Institutional Class returned 2.9% and the benchmark index, the MSCI Frontier Markets Index, returned 11.6%. The largest portion of underperformance can be attributed to difficulties inherent with investing in the frontier markets, which can include liquidity, breadth and accessibility. Additionally, the Fund carried an overweight to GCC countries, which were among the worst performers in the broad index. An underweight to Nigeria was additive and mitigated some underperformance. Finally, an underweight for much of the year to some of the best performing countries, such as Sri Lanka and Pakistan, contributed to some underperformance in 2009.

A credit default swap (CDS) is a swap designed to transfer the credit exposure of fixed income products between parties. The buyer of a credit swap receives credit protection, whereas the seller of the swap guarantees the credit worthiness of the product. By doing this, the risk of default is transferred from the holder of the fixed income security to the seller of the swap.

Accessor High Yield Bond Fund

 

At the beginning of 2009, we were in the midst of the “great recession,” which plunged the global economy into sharp contraction, especially notable throughout most of the developed world. This was the ‘best advertised’ recession of our lifetime. The near meltdown in the financial sector sent a clear message to corporate leadership that the name of the game is “survival,” and most industries took measures to cut costs and preserve liquidity as quickly as possible. Massive layoffs and wage cuts, as well as inventory reductions immediately followed. Consequently, consumers were no longer the engine of the economy due to lack of job security and a focus on balance sheet repair as both real estate values and financial assets declined sharply. The demand side of the economy was left to the government, which was already strained by massive deficit spending tied to the financial sector rescue. This also meant that there was substantial political uncertainty for many businesses to deal with.

Global markets bottomed in early March after an additional sharp decline. During the second quarter the first signs of economic stabilization appeared and investors were more confident that nationalization of the financial sector was unlikely except for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For the remainder of the year we saw a continuing improvement in the prospects for economic recovery. While economists and investors are more optimistic in their outlook for the economy, great challenges remain. These include high unemployment, tight credit, massive budget deficits at national and local governments, high foreclosure rates and an expected rise in interest rates and taxes. In order for the recovery to be sustainable, we will need to see improvement in business sentiment and significant job creation in the private sector.

The high yield market had a mixed and volatile first quarter of 2009, hitting bottom in early March. Subsequent gains helped the high yield market end the year on a high note beating all other major asset classes. High yield security spreads-to-treasuries tightened by 1172 basis points in 2009, and ended the year at a spread of 640 basis points. Investors took advantage of strong momentum and great valuations in the asset class, as high yield funds saw inflows of over $31 billion for the year. The primary market was prolific with 408 new issues priced totaling over $180 billion, a new record by a wide margin. Close to 80% of new issuance refinanced existing debt including leveraged loans to relieve tight covenants. The high yield asset class grew close to 20% to over $1.1 trillion, another new record, taking market share from leveraged loans. The default rate by par amount reached 10.2% and 12.0% when including distressed exchanges. Recovery rates were a low 22% of par.

The formula for relative performance during the year across all asset classes—especially the high yield space—was to reach for maximum risk. Performance during the year was dominated by the lowest quality securities. Hence, CCC’s doubled in value, while defaulted securities nearly tripled. Outperforming industries in high yield in 2009 included Financials, Media, Retail, Home Builders, Technology and Automobiles. Notable underperformers included Telecommunications, Health Care, Paper/packaging, Cable and Utilities. The change within the Financial sector was most notable last year, as Financials grew from an insignificant low single digit portion of the index to about 10%—dominated by financial hybrids of companies such as AIG and Citigroup offering equity plays on stressed financial institutions.

selects debt securities on a company-by-company basis, emphasizing fundamental research and a long-term investment horizon. The selection process looks primarily for companies whose prospects are stable or improving, and whose bonds offer attractive yield.

For the year, the Accessor High Yield Bond Fund’s Institutional Class shares, returned 40.4% and the benchmark index, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, returned 57.5%. The primary driver of Fund underperformance was an underweighting of distressed and other low quality securities. Beta was the dominant factor in returns, while traditional security selection was of relatively little significance. Notable underperformance by industry is attributable to underweighting the lowest quality names in the Financials, Media, Retail, Gaming and Metals/mining industries while overweighting Health Care and Utilities. This was somewhat mitigated by beneficial weighting and selection in Energy and security selection in Automobiles.

Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund

 

Policy responses to the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in the second half of 2008 helped stabilize the global economy in 2009. The Federal Reserve injected liquidity into the economy via purchases of Treasury securities. Other policies bolstered non-Treasury markets, including increased Fed purchases of Agency mortgage-backed securities and the anxiously awaited introduction of two U.S. Treasury programs designed to induce private investment back into securitized debt obligations. The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) provided comfort to the CMBS market. Yields on Treasuries generally rose in 2009 as risk appetites revived, stemming demand for Treasuries and other sovereign bonds. Non-Treasury assets, like Investment Grade Credit and High Yield, gained in the fourth quarter—and for all of 2009—as government policies helped push investors out of cash and toward higher yielding, riskier assets.

Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”), the Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) sub-advisor, utilizes a blend of macro-economic analysis and individual security selection to guide portfolio construction. The process emphasizes capital preservation and thorough risk-versus-reward analysis.

For the year, the Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 10.7%, and the benchmark index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index returned 4.5%. Above-benchmark duration exposure was negative for performance as rates rose throughout the year. The 10-year Treasury yield rose by 163 bps during the year. Curve strategies, with a focus on the front end of the yield curve, helped performance as the curve between 2-year and 30-year Treasuries steepened 160 bps during the year. Out-of-benchmark allocations to both agency mortgages and CMBS contributed to returns. Agency MBS continued their powerful rally, outperforming Treasuries for the year, as the Fed purchased securities to keep mortgage rates low and extended the mortgage purchase program to first quarter 2010. Mortgage yield premiums have compressed to the narrowest levels ever seen versus interest rate swaps. CMBS spreads also tightened, supported by the Government’s TALF and PPIP programs, which added liquidity. Finally, exposure to select financial institutions enhanced returns as these securities continued to benefit from supportive government policies and access to the private sector capital markets.

Accessor Mortgage Securities Fund

 

Policy responses to the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in the second half of 2008 helped stabilize the global economy in 2009. The Federal Reserve (Fed) injected liquidity into the economy via purchases of U.S. Treasury securities. Other policies bolstered non-Treasury markets, including increased Fed purchases of Agency mortgage-backed securities, and the anxiously awaited introduction of two U.S. Treasury programs designed to induce private investment back into securitized debt obligations. The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) and the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) provided comfort to the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) market. Yields on Treasuries generally rose in 2009 as risk appetites revived, stemming demand for Treasuries and other sovereign bonds. Non-Treasury assets, like Investment Grade Credit and High Yield, gained in the fourth quarter—and for all of 2009—as government policies helped push investors out of cash and toward higher yielding, riskier assets.

We enter 2010 with a healthy dose of uncertainty regarding the future of the agency MBS market. The market is focused on the imminent completion of many official intervention programs at the end of first quarter 2010 and the implication this has for mortgage spreads as the year progresses. In the meantime, however, the Fed still has approximately $140 billion in capital that it can allocate to the sector. This should help remove the majority of the supply during the quarter, and with the help of yield buyers looking to put growing cash reserves to work at higher current yields, should help cushion near-term spread performance. Moreover, the U.S. Treasury announcement in late December that raised the potential government support for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while significantly increasing the 2010 portfolio cap for the agencies, should be a longer term positive for the MBS market. The announcement eliminates the overhang of potential government sponsored enterprises (GSE) selling while potentially allowing for a more orderly transition to the end of direct government intervention. In addition, it positions the agencies to step in as an alternative source of mortgage duration demand should the need exist.

BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BlackRock”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, employs a part quantitative and part fundamental investment process. BlackRock’s investment philosophy and process centers around four key principles: (1) controlled duration (controlling sensitivity to interest rates); (2) relative value sector rotation and security selection (analyzing a sector’s and a security’s impact on the overall portfolio); (3) rigorous quantitative analysis to security valuation (mathematically analyzing a security’s value); and (4) quality credit analysis (analyzing a security’s credit quality).

While agency MBS outperformed similarly-dated Treasuries by 495 bps in 2009 (BarCap MBS Index vs the BarCap Treasury Index), non-agencies contributed to most of the positive gains in the portfolio. Yields have grinded tighter across the sector. Some of the 15-year and 30-year prime bonds are trading at approximately 4.5% to 5% yields and we think it is reasonable to reduce risk in this sector at this point. The Alt-A and sub-prime sectors offer much more value at this stage and we continue to hold our positive stance on the both.

For the year, the Accessor Mortgage Securities Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 10.8%, and the benchmark index, the Barclays Capital Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, returned 5.9%. Positive contributions to the Fund came from an underweight to 30-year and 15-year pass-through mortgages, as spreads widened over the course of the year. Also, longer duration—coupled with a yield curve steepening bias—led to significant gains as demand for Treasuries was strong. The Fund’s position in

prime non-agency mortgages detracted from performance during the year. Non-agency mortgages were volatile in 2009 and only reached some form of stability in the month of December.

A mortgage-backed security (MBS) is an asset-backed security whose cash flows are backed by the principal and interest payments of a set of mortgage loans. Payments are typically made monthly over the lifetime of the underlying loans.

The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) is the name of a program created by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), announced on November 25, 2008 to assist the credit markets in accommodating the credit needs of consumers and small businesses by facilitating the issuance of asset-backed securities (ABS) and improving the market conditions for ABS more generally.

Accessor U.S. Government Money Fund

 

The environment for money market securities in 2009 started where 2008 left off—a low rate environment fueled by a flight to quality in light of the ongoing financial crisis. With bank bailouts and government stimulus plans in effect, risk of systemic failure declined throughout the year. Although, generally speaking, the economy stabilized in 2009, there were many signs that the probability of a quick recovery was low. The FDIC reported bank failures were up to 140 in 2009 from 26 in 2008. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported unemployment increased to 10.03% in December of 2009 from 6.97% at the end of 2008. Clearly, damage was done in 2008 and the fallout was dealt with in 2009.

As investor confidence improved, spreads narrowed and the yield curve flattened. Fed rates remained unchanged throughout the year at a target range of 0 to 25 bps. Three month London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) rates decreased from 1.42% on 12/31/08 to 0.25% on 12/31/09. The rate for one year Government Agency paper decreased from 0.85% to 0.45% during the same period. These rate declines left short term investors scrambling for yield as the year progressed.

Forward Management manages the Accessor U.S. Government Money Fund (the “Fund”). For the year, the Accessor U.S. Government Money Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 0.3% and the benchmark index, the Citigroup U.S. Domestic 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, returned 0.2%. This result reflected the falling environment of yields on money market securities throughout the year.

Forward Management continued to structure the maturities of the portfolio in a “laddered” fashion in 2009 and diversified the portfolio by issuer and security type. The Fund’s process of maintaining a relatively high weighted average maturity has benefited the portfolio as longer dated paper has outperformed shorter maturities. A small allocation to Commercial Paper starting in September of 2009 was beneficial to Fund performance as Commercial Paper significantly outperformed Government and Treasury rates. The on-going low rate environment offered little in the way of yield for investors.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation created by the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. It provides deposit insurance which guarantees the safety of checking and savings deposits in member banks, currently up to $250,000 per depositor per bank.

LIBOR: London Interbank Offered Rate is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks borrow unsecured funds from other banks in the London wholesale money market (or interbank market). The interbank market is the top-level foreign exchange market where banks exchange different currencies.

Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) became law on October 3, 2008, as part of a proposed bailout of the U.S. financial system, which enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The law gives the Treasury $250 billion immediately, requires the President to certify that an additional $100 billion in funds are needed and finally $350 billion are subject to Congressional approval.

Accessor Income Allocation Fund

 

The year was positive for both stock and bond markets. The S&P 500 Index increased by 6.0% during fourth quarter, ending 2009 up 26.5%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index increased by 0.2% during fourth quarter and finished the year with a 5.9% gain. International stocks, measured by the MSCI EAFE + EM Index, increased by 3.6% during fourth quarter and finished 2009 up 40.4%. Much of the positive international performance can be attributed to emerging market stocks, which increased by 78.3% for the year, as measured by the MSCI EM Index.

The Accessor Allocation Funds enjoyed a relatively successful 2009 with five of the six Allocation Funds outperforming their respective benchmarks due in large part to allocation decisions. Two Forward Funds were added to the 10 Accessor Funds utilized in the Allocation Funds (the “Underlying Funds”) during 2009. While eight of the 12 Underlying Funds underperformed their respective benchmarks for the year, much of the underperformance can be attributed to the sharp stock market reversal beginning in early March, led by companies experiencing severe financial distress. Traditionally the Accessor and Forward Funds sub-advisors favor well-managed companies that are driven by attractive fundamentals such as positive cash flow and strong earnings growth outlook. However, market conditions over the past few months caused a severe disconnect in the investment environment from true fundamentals of company valuations and prospects. This disconnect abated slightly during fourth quarter and provided an environment in which six of the Underlying Funds outperformed their respective benchmarks for the quarter.

Forward Management manages the Accessor Income Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). For the year, the Accessor Income Allocation Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 15.1% and the benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.9%. The Fund benefited from an overweight allocation to high yield securities, one of the best performing asset classes in 2009. However, the High Yield Bond Fund underperformed its benchmark, which caused underperformance. Positive manager performance in the Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income and Accessor Mortgage Securities Funds also aided performance as they outperformed their respective benchmarks by 6.2% and 4.9% in 2009.

Equity exposure to small and mid capitalization securities and international securities was a positive contributor for the year. However, the positive allocation decisions in the equity Underlying Funds were offset by manager underperformance. The Fund benefited from an overweight allocation to high yield securities, one of the best performing asset classes in 2009. Positive manager performance in the Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income and Mortgage Securities Funds also aided performance as they outperformed their respective benchmarks by 6.2% and 4.9% in 2009.

The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index which represents securities that are U.S. domestic, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen to reflect the industries in the U.S. economy. The composite index is a hypothetical index constructed by Forward Management, which consists of 70% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 30% S&P 500 Index. Investors cannot invest in an index, and the return of an index does not reflect the deduction of any fees or other expenses. Performance data quoted represents average annual total return and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The graph compares a $10,000 investment made in the Institutional Class of the Fund. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that you would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain current month-end performance, call (800) 759-3504 or visit www.accessor.com.

Accessor Balanced Allocation Fund

 

The year was positive for both stock and bond markets. The S&P 500 Index increased by 6.0% during the fourth quarter, ending 2009 up 26.5%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index increased by 0.2% during fourth quarter and finished the year with a 5.9% gain. International stocks, measured by the MSCI EAFE + EM Index, increased by 3.6% during fourth quarter and finished 2009 up 40.4%. Much of the positive international performance can be attributed to emerging market stocks, which increased by 78.3% for the year, as measured by the MSCI EM Index.

The Accessor Allocation Funds enjoyed a relatively successful 2009 with five of the six Allocation Funds outperforming their respective benchmarks due in large part to allocation decisions. Two Forward Funds were added to the 10 Accessor Funds utilized in the Allocation Funds (the “Underlying Funds”) during 2009. While eight of the 12 Underlying Funds underperformed their respective benchmarks for the year, much of the underperformance can be attributed to the sharp stock market reversal beginning in early March, led by companies experiencing severe financial distress. Traditionally the Accessor and Forward Funds sub-advisors favor well-managed companies that are driven by attractive fundamentals such as positive cash flow and strong earnings growth outlook. However, market conditions over the past few months caused a severe disconnect in the investment environment from true fundamentals of company valuations and prospects. This disconnect abated slightly during fourth quarter and provided an environment in which six of the Underlying Funds outperformed their respective benchmarks for the quarter.

Forward Management manages the Accessor Balanced Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). For the year, the Accessor Balanced Allocation Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 21.0% and the benchmark, a blend 50% S&P 500 Index and 50% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 16.3%. Equity exposure to small and mid capitalization securities and international securities was a positive contributor for the year. However, the positive allocation decisions in the equity Underlying Funds were offset by manager underperformance. Allocations to frontier markets and alternative assets also detracted from performance. The Fund benefited from an overweight allocation to high yield securities, one of the best performing asset classes in 2009. Positive manager performance in Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund and Accessor Mortgage Securities Funds also aided performance as they outperformed their respective benchmarks by 6.2% and 4.9% in 2009.

The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen to reflect the industries in the U.S. economy. Investors cannot invest in an index, and the return of an index does not reflect the deduction of any fees or other expenses.

Performance data quoted represents average annual total return and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The Index does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses. Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The graph compare a $10,000 investment made in the Institutional Class of the Fund. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that you would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain current month-end performance, call (800) 759-3504 or visit www.accessor.com.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

For the Year Ended December 31, 2009

 

As a shareholder of the Accessor Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, shareholder services 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 (six-month) period and held for the entire period July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class of each Fund in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class of each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account 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 the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below 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 for each share class of each Fund of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization

Forward Funds (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust offers multiple separate series each with its own investment objective and policies, sixteen of which are known as the Accessor Funds (each a “Fund” or “Accessor Fund” and collectively, the “Funds” or “Accessor Funds”). Each of the Accessor Funds (with the exception of the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund and the Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund) is a successor to a previously operational fund which was a series of Accessor Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and was reorganized into the corresponding Accessor Fund effective September 1, 2008. This annual report covers the sixteen Accessor Funds, which consist of eight diversified and two non-diversified investment portfolios (the “Underlying Funds”); and six diversified funds of funds investment portfolios (the “Allocation Funds”). The Underlying Funds in this report are the Accessor Growth Fund, Accessor Value Fund, Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund and Accessor International Equity Fund (the “Equity Funds”); the Accessor High Yield Bond Fund, Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund (formerly the “Accessor Intermediate Fixed-Income Fund”) Accessor Mortgage Securities Fund (the “Bond Funds”) and Accessor U.S. Government Money Fund (the “Money Fund”) (collectively with the Bond Funds, the “Fixed-Income Funds”); and the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund and Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund (collectively, the “Alternative Funds”). The six Allocation Funds are the Accessor Income Allocation Fund, Accessor Income & Growth Allocation Fund, Accessor Balanced Allocation Fund, Accessor Growth & Income Allocation Fund, Accessor Growth Allocation Fund and Accessor Aggressive Growth Allocation Fund.

 

The Accessor Growth Fund, Accessor Value Fund, Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund, Accessor International Equity Fund, Accessor High Yield Bond Fund, Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income Fund and Accessor Mortgage Securities Fund each offer four classes of shares: Institutional Class Shares (formerly Advisor Class Shares), Investor Class Shares, C Class Shares and Z Class Shares. The Accessor U.S. Government Money Fund offers five classes of shares: Institutional Class Shares (formerly Advisor Class Shares), Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares, C Class Shares and Z Class Shares (formerly Institutional Class Shares). The Allocation Funds each offer four classes of shares: Institutional Class Shares (formerly Advisor Class Shares), Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares and C Class Shares. The Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund and the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund each offer three classes of shares: Institutional Class Shares (formerly Advisor Class Shares), Investor Class Shares and Z Class Shares. Effective November 20, 2009, the A Class Shares were exchanged for Institutional Class Shares for the following funds: Accessor Growth, Accessor Value, Accessor Small to Mid Cap, Accessor International Equity and Accessor High Yield Bond. Each class of shares of each Accessor Fund has identical rights and privileges as the other classes of shares of such Accessor Fund, except that (i) each class of shares bears class-specific expenses allocated to it; (ii) each class of shares has exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to the distribution or service arrangements of such classes; and (iii) each class has separate voting rights on any matter submitted to the shareholders in which interests of one class differ from the interests of the shareholders of the other classes of shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Launches Accounting Standards Codification: The FASB has issued FASB ASC 105 (formerly FASB Statement No. 168), The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification™” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”)ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.

Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.

GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB’s Codification project, but it will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes will have a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Trust has implemented the Codification as of September 30, 2009.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities. To the extent that the Allocation Funds are invested in each of the Underlying Funds, the Allocation Funds will also be exposed to certain estimates, assumptions, and security transactions indirectly. The financial statements have been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 2009.

Security Valuation: Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated as of the close of regular trading of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), except that the NAV per share of the Money Fund is calculated at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If the NYSE closes early, the Funds may close early and may value their shares at an earlier time.

The Funds generally value their securities using prices obtained from a pricing service. Equity securities (both domestic and international) and fixed-income securities listed and traded principally on a national securities exchange are typically valued on the basis of last reported sale price or a market’s official closing price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the closing bid price on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. Because foreign securities markets are open on different days from U.S. markets, there may be instances when prices of foreign securities in which a Fund invests change on days when shareholders are not able to buy or

sell Fund shares. Over-the-counter equity securities, options, and futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of the last reported sale price or a market’s official closing price or, if believed to more accurately reflect the fair market value, the mean between the bid and asked prices. Many fixed income securities do not trade each day and thus the last sale or bid prices are frequently not available. Fixed-income securities may be valued using prices provided by a pricing service, including a qualified broker quote, when such prices are believed by Forward Management, LLC (“Forward Management”) and the appropriate sub-advisor, an unaffiliated investment management organization (referred to herein each as a “Money Manager” and collectively, as the “Money Managers”) to reflect the fair market value of such securities. To the extent that such fixed-income securities do not trade each day and last sale or bid prices are not available, the Board of Trustees has authorized the use of matrix pricing or similar valuation methods used by such pricing sources. Investments held by the Money Fund are valued at amortized cost and short-term debt securities maturing in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments by the Allocation Funds in shares of the Underlying Funds and other Forward Funds are valued at the NAV per share of the applicable Fund. Investments by any Fund in exchange-traded open-end investment companies or closed-end investment companies are priced as equity securities as stated above.

An investment for which a price is not readily available as described above is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fair value of a security may be determined in circumstances, including, but not limited to, when (i) the exchange or market on or in which a security is traded does not open for trading for an entire trading day and no other market prices are available, (ii) a security does not trade regularly or has had its trading halted, (iii) a security does not have a price source due to its lack of liquidity, (iv) Forward Management or the appropriate Money Manager believes a market quotation from a broker-dealer is unreliable (e.g., where it varies significantly from a recent trade), (v) the security is thinly traded, or (vi) there has been a significant subsequent event. For securities which do not have a price source due to its lack of liquidity, the Funds consider and utilize information from other parts of the markets as well as the characteristics of the asset to development an investment’s fair value. A significant event is one where it is believed with a reasonably high degree of certainty that a particular event has caused the price of the security to no longer reflect its current value as of the time of the Fund’s NAV calculation. The Funds anticipate using fair value pricing for securities primarily traded on U.S. exchanges only under very limited circumstances. The Funds (specifically the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund, Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund and Accessor International Equity Fund) may, however, use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before a Fund normally values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may occur before a Fund values its securities. To account for this, the Funds (particularly the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund, Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund and Accessor International Equity Fund) may frequently value many foreign equity securities using the fair value procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. On days when a change has occurred in the closing level of a benchmark index by an amount approved by the Board of Trustees from the previous trading day’s closing level and other criteria have been met, the Board of Trustees has

authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service to provide the fair value for foreign equity securities. Forward Management and the Money Managers review the fair values provided, review periodically the methodology and procedures used in providing values to the Funds, and evaluate the accuracy of the prices provided.

Fair Value Measurements” define fair value, establish a fair value hierarchy and specify that a valuation technique used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under “Fair Value Measurements” are described below:

 

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2—Quoted prices which are not active or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3—Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

As required by “Fair Value Measurements”, investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs and may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. The designated inputs levels are not necessarily an indication of the risks or liquidity associated with these investments.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the Funds’ investments:

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted for financial statement reporting purposes using the effective interest method. Dividend income, less foreign tax withheld, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the identified cost basis.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Bond Funds may purchase debt obligations that are denominated in a foreign currency; and the Equity Funds and the Alternative Funds may purchase equity securities that are denominated in a foreign currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuation arising from changes in market prices of securities. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference between the translated amount of income or expenses initially recorded in each of the Fund’s accounting records and the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, excluding investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

The Funds report certain foreign currency related security transactions as components of realized gains and losses in the statements of operations for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions. These risks include political or economic instability in the country of the issuer, the difficulty of predicting international trade patterns, the possibility of imposition of exchange controls and the risk of currency fluctuations.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk: The Funds (other than U.S. Government Money Fund and the Allocation Funds) may trade financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of investing activities and to assist in managing exposure to market risks such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These financial instruments include forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts and options transactions.

The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

Futures Contracts: The Funds (other than the U.S. Government Money Fund and the Allocation Funds) are permitted to enter into financial futures contracts and stock index futures contracts in accordance with their investment objectives. A Fund may do so for a variety of

reasons including for cash management purposes. The Accessor International Equity Fund may also purchase and write futures contracts on foreign currencies. A Fund is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund each day, dependent on daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such payments or receipts are known as variation margin and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Fund. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.

When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The potential risk to the Funds is that the change in the value of the underlying securities may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Accessor International Equity Fund will generally enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. It may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

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

Options Transactions: Certain Funds may purchase and write call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. The Accessor International Equity Fund may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies.

When any of the Funds writes or purchases a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in that Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying

securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or index underlying the written option.

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

The option techniques utilized are to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or securities prices in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by a Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure associated with an investment in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to the bond, equity and currency markets and not for speculation.

Swap Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into interest rate, index, equity, currency exchange rate, total return and credit default swap agreements as well as purchase and sell options to enter into such swap agreements, for hedging and non-hedging purposes. These transactions would be entered into in an attempt to obtain a particular return when it is considered desirable to do so, possibly at a lower cost to a Fund than if the Fund had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

Forms of swap agreements include interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”; interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level, or “floor”; and interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa, in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels. Credit default swaps are a type of swap agreement in which the protection “buyer” is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront and/or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. The credit default swap agreement may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by a Fund. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity described in the swap, or the seller may be required to deliver the related net cash amount, if the swap is cash settled. A Fund may be either the buyer or seller

in the transaction. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund may recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer generally may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As a seller, a Fund generally receives an upfront payment and/or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. Credit default swap agreements involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. A Fund will enter into credit default swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.

Total return swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of underlying assets, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, defined portfolios of bonds, loans and mortgages, or securities indexes during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or market. Total return swap agreements may effectively add leverage to a Fund’s portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. Total return swaps are a mechanism for the user to accept the economic benefits of asset ownership without utilizing the balance sheet. The other leg of the swap, usually LIBOR, is spread to reflect the non-balance sheet nature of the product. Total return swaps can be designed with any underlying asset agreed between two parties. Typically no notional amounts are exchanged with total return swaps. Total return swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligations to a Fund there under. Swap agreements also entail the risk that a Fund will not be able to meet its obligation to the counterparty. Generally, a Fund will enter into total return swaps on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments).

Most swap agreements entered into by a Fund calculate the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis.” Consequently, a Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net present value of amounts to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the “net amount”). A Fund’s current obligations under a swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against amounts owed to the Fund), and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by the maintenance of a segregated account consisting of assets determined to be liquid by Forward Management or the appropriate Money Manager, in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees to limit any potential leveraging of a Fund’s portfolio.

Obligations under swap agreements so covered will not be construed to be “senior securities” for purposes of the Funds’ investment restriction concerning senior securities. A Fund will not enter into a swap agreement with any single party if the net amount owed or to be received under existing contracts with that party would exceed 5% of the Fund’s assets.

Whether a Fund’s use of swap agreements will be successful in furthering its investment objective will depend on Forward Management’s or the appropriate Money Manager’s ability to correctly predict whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments. Because they are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid investments. Moreover, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. A Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards for creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the Fund’s repurchase agreement guidelines). Certain restrictions imposed on the Funds by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), may limit a Fund’s ability to use swap agreements. The swap market is a relatively new market and is largely unregulated. It is possible that developments in the swap market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect a Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

Structured Notes: The Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”), as part of its investment objective, may invest in structured notes, which are debt obligations that also contain an embedded derivative component with characteristics that adjust the obligation’s risk/return profile. Generally, the performance of a structured note will track that of the underlying debt obligation and the derivative embedded within it. The Fund has the right to receive periodic interest payments from the issuer of the structured notes at an agreed-upon interest rate and a return of the principal at the maturity date.

 

Structured notes are typically privately negotiated transactions between two or more parties. The Fund bears the risk that the issuer of the structured note will default or become bankrupt. The Fund bears the risk of the loss of its principal investment and periodic interest payments expected to be received for the duration of its investment in the structures notes.

In the case of structured notes on credit default swaps, the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund is also subject to the credit risk of the corporate credits underlying the credit default swaps. If one of the underlying corporate credit defaults, the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund may receive the security that has defaulted, or alternatively a cash settlement may occur, and the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund’s principal investment in the structured note would be reduced by the corresponding face value of the defaulted security.

The Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund intends to invest in equity-linked structured notes (which would be linked to an equity index) to a significant extent. A highly liquid secondary market may not exist for the structured notes the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund invests in, and there can be no assurance that a highly liquid secondary market will develop. The lack of a highly liquid secondary market may make it difficult for the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund to sell the structured notes they hold at an acceptable price or accurately value such notes.

The market for structured notes may be, or suddenly can become, illiquid. The other parties to the transaction may be the only investors with sufficient understanding of the derivative to be interested in bidding for it. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in the prices for structured notes. In certain cases, a market price for a credit-linked security may not be available. The

collateral for a structured note may be one or more credit default swaps, which are subject to additional risks.

Forward Commitments: The Funds (other than the Allocation Funds) may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (i.e., “when issued,” “delayed delivery,” “forward commitment,” or “TBA transactions”) consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by a Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however the market value may change prior to delivery.

Each Fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time TBA sale commitments are outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverables on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction.

Unsettled TBA sale (purchase) commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation” above. The contract is adjusted to market value daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale (purchase) commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase (sale) commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

Dollar Rolls: The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls (principally using TBAs) in which each Fund sells mortgage securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price on a fixed date. Each Fund accounts for such dollar rolls under the purchases and sales method and receives compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. Each Fund must maintain liquid securities having a value not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest) for such dollar rolls. The market value of the securities that each Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

Collateralized Debt Obligations: The Funds may invest in collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which include collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured securities. CLOs are a type of asset-backed securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. CDOs may charge management fees and administrative expenses. For CDOs, the cash flows from the trust are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. The riskiest portion is the “equity” tranche which bears the bulk of defaults from the bonds or loans in the trust and serves to protect the other, more senior tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is partially protected from defaults, a senior tranche from a CDO trust typically has a higher rating and lower yield than their underlying

Notes to Financial Statements

 

securities, and can be rated investment grade. Despite the protection from the equity tranche, CDO senior tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to defaults due to collateral default and disappearance of protecting tranches, market anticipation of defaults, as well as aversion to CDO securities as a class. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which a Fund invests. Normally, CLOs and other CDOs are privately offered and sold, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws. As a result, investments in CDOs may be characterized by the Funds as illiquid securities; however, an active dealer market may exist for CDOs allowing a CDO to qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition to the normal risks associated with fixed income securities (e.g., interest rate risk and default risk), CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the Funds may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Stripped mortgage-backed securities are derivative multiple-class mortgage-backed securities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities usually have two classes that receive different proportions of interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. Typically, one class will receive some of the interest and most of the principal, while the other class will receive most of the interest and the remaining principal. In extreme cases, one class will receive all of the interest (“interest only” or “IO” class) while the other class will receive the entire principal (“principal only” or “PO” class). The cash flow and yields on IOs and POs are extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. A rapid rate of principal payments may adversely affect the yield to maturity of IOs. Slower than anticipated prepayments of principal may adversely affect the yield to maturity of a PO. The yields and market risk of interest only and principal only stripped mortgage-backed securities, respectively, may be more volatile than those of other fixed income securities, including traditional mortgage-backed securities.

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements (agreements to purchase securities—generally securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities—subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a specified time and price) with well established dealers or institutions that Forward Management or the appropriate Money Manager has determined to be creditworthy. It is the Funds’ policy to take possession of the underlying securities as collateral and, on a daily basis, mark-to-market such securities to ensure that the market value including accrued interest is at least equal to the amount owed to the Funds under each repurchase agreement. As of December 31, 2009, there are no Accessor Funds with a Repurchase Agreement.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly for the Money Fund; declared and paid monthly for the Bond Funds, the Accessor Income Allocation Fund, Accessor Income & Growth Allocation Fund and Accessor Balanced Allocation Fund; declared and paid quarterly for the other Equity Funds, the Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund, and the other Allocation Funds; and declared and paid

Notes to Financial Statements

 

annually for the Accessor International Equity Fund and Accessor Frontier Markets Fund. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually for all Funds. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s intention to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code to qualify as a regulated investment company. Subchapter M requires a regulated investment company to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders. By distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains to shareholders, a Fund will not be subject to Federal income or excise tax. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

Each Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required under provisions of the Code which may differ from GAAP, the basis on which these financial statements are prepared. The differences arise primarily from the treatment of foreign currency transactions and futures contracts and the deferral of certain losses under Federal income tax regulations. Accordingly, the amount of net investment income and net realized gains or losses reported in the annual financial statements may differ from that reported in each Fund’s tax return and, consequently, the character of distributions to shareholders reported in the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights may differ from that reported to shareholders for Federal income tax purposes.

Other Expenses: Shared expenses incurred by the Trust are generally allocated among the Funds based on each Fund’s ratio of relative net assets to the combined net assets. Specifically identified direct expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred to the extent practicable. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and Fund expenses not specific to any class of shares are prorated among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class. Certain specifically identified direct expenses of each class are charged to that class as incurred.

Illiquid or Restricted Securities: The Funds (other than the Money Fund and the Allocation Funds) are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public once the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information relating to restricted securities held as of December 31, 2009 is detailed in the Schedules of Investments, as applicable.

Each Fund (except the Allocation Funds) may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid (except the Money Fund, which may not exceed 10%). Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Funds have valued the securities. Certain restricted securities are not subject to the 15% limitation if Forward Management determines that such security is liquid pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Redemption Fees: Shares exchanged or redeemed from the Equity Funds, the Accessor High Yield Bond Fund and Accessor Strategic Alternatives Fund within 90 days from the date of purchase were previously subject to a redemption fee equal to 2% of the proceeds of the

redeemed or exchanged shares. These fees, which were retained by these Funds, were accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital. Cost of redemptions reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets is reported net of such fees. Effective September 1, 2008, the 2% redemption fee on these Funds was eliminated.

ReFlow Transactions: The Funds may participate in ReFlow, a program designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for mutual funds experiencing redemptions of their shares. In order to pay cash to shareholders who redeem their shares on a given day, a mutual fund typically must hold cash in its portfolio, liquidate portfolio securities, or borrow money, all of which impose certain costs on the Fund. ReFlow provides participating mutual funds with another source of cash by standing ready to purchase shares from a Fund equal to the amount of the Fund’s net redemptions on a given day. ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the Fund experiences net subscriptions. In return for this service, the Funds will pay a fee to ReFlow at a rate determined by a daily auction with other participating mutual funds. The costs to a Fund for participating in ReFlow are generally expected to be influenced by and comparable to the cost of other sources of liquidity, such as the Fund’s short-term lending arrangements or the costs of selling portfolio securities to meet redemptions. ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of any Fund.

ReFlow Management Co., LLC, the entity that facilitates the day-to-day operations of ReFlow, is under common control with Forward Management, the investment advisor to the Funds. In light of this, the Board of Trustees has adopted certain procedures to govern the Funds’ participation in ReFlow. ReFlow fees that were incurred by the Accessor Growth Fund, Accessor Value Fund, Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund, Accessor International Equity Fund, Accessor High Yield Bond Fund, Accessor Investment Grade Fixed-Income, Accessor Income Allocation Fund, Accessor Income & Growth Allocation Fund, Accessor Growth & Income Allocation Fund, Accessor Growth Allocation Fund and Accessor Aggressive Growth Fund during the year ended December 31, 2009 are recorded in the Statement of Operations. During that same period, there were no ReFlow fees incurred by the other Accessor Funds.

Lending of Portfolio Securities: Each Fund from time to time may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers, banks or institutional borrowers of securities. The loans are secured by collateral in the form of cash that is equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest, if any. Upon lending its securities to third parties, a Fund receives compensation in the form of income on the investment of the cash collateral. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Fund. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand, and loans are subject to termination by the lending Fund or the borrower at any time. While the lending Fund does not have the right to vote securities on loan, it intends, to the extent practicable, to terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if the matter to be voted upon is considered significant with respect to the investment. Additionally, the Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge collateral received in the form of securities unless the borrower goes into default. The risks to a Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due. The Fund bears the risk of any income or gains and losses from investing and reinvesting cash pledged as collateral. This collateral must be valued daily and should the market value of the

loaned securities increase the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the lending Fund. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the lending Fund the economic equivalent of any dividends or interest paid on such securities. In the event the borrower defaults on its obligation to the lending Fund, the lending Fund could experience delays in recovering its securities and possible capital losses. As of December 31, 2009, there were no Funds with securities on loan and during the year ended December 31, 2009 there was no securities lending activity in the Funds.

The Trust has obtained an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that allows the Allocation Funds to enter into a special servicing agreement with the Underlying Funds under which the Underlying Funds will pay the expenses of the Allocation Funds (other than the Allocation Funds’ direct management fees, distribution and service fees, and administrative services fees) to the extent that the Underlying Funds derive additional financial and other benefits as a result of investments from the Allocation Funds. None of the expenses incurred by the Allocation Funds for the year ended December 31, 2009 were paid by the Underlying Funds.

Money Managers: Each Fund (other than the Money Fund, the Alternative Funds and the Allocation Funds) is sub-advised by a Money Manager, researched and recommended by Forward Management. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Money Managers received a fee (from the Funds) based on the average daily net assets aggregated across all the classes of each Fund as set forth below. This fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.

Management, respectively) each Money Manager is paid a base fee (“Base Rate”) of 0.25% plus a performance component (“Performance Adjustment”). The Performance Adjustment rate will increase or decrease proportionately to the difference in performance (the “Performance Difference”) between the Fund and its benchmark index. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly off of a rolling 12-month performance period.

With regard to the Accessor Growth Fund, to the extent that the Performance Difference between the Fund and the S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index falls within a “null zone” that is equal to plus 100 basis points (1.00%) or minus 100 basis points (-1.00%), the Performance Adjustment rate shall be zero and there shall be no Performance Adjustment. The Performance Adjustment rate shall not exceed an absolute value of 15 basis points (0.15%) and the maximum Performance Adjustment rate shall be made when the Performance Difference reaches plus or minus 350 basis points (3.50%). Therefore, the minimum possible annual fee payable to the Money Manager will be 10 basis points (0.10%) and the maximum possible annual fee will be 40 basis points (0.40%).

With regard to the Accessor Value Fund, to the extent that the Performance Difference between the Fund and the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index falls within a “null zone” that is equal to plus 75 basis points (0.75%) or minus 75 basis points (-0.75%), the Performance Adjustment rate shall be zero and there shall be no Performance Adjustment. The Performance Adjustment rate shall not exceed an absolute value of 5 basis points (0.05%) and the maximum Performance Adjustment rate shall be made when the Performance Difference reaches plus or minus 325 basis points (3.25%). Therefore, the minimum possible annual fee payable to the Money Manager will be 20 basis points (0.20%) and the maximum possible annual fee will be 30 basis points (0.30%).

Distribution and Service Plans: The Trust has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to the Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares and C Class Shares of each Fund to compensate the distributor of the Accessor Funds, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), and/or third party intermediaries or other service organizations for providing distribution and non-distribution-related services to certain shareholders of the Trust. Under the terms of these Plans, the Trust will pay the Distributor and/or third party selling and distribution agents for sales and promotional efforts including printing of prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes. The Trust will also pay third party service organizations for providing non-distribution related services such as account maintenance services.

The maximum amount payable to the Distributor and/or third party selling and distribution agents under the Plans, in aggregate, may not exceed on an annual basis 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund attributable to Investor Class Shares; 0.35% of the average daily net assets of each Fund attributable to A Class Shares of the Accessor Frontier Markets Fund and the Allocation Funds (except the Accessor Income Allocation Fund); 0.25% of the average daily assets of each Fund attributable to A Class Shares of the Money Fund and the Accessor Income Allocation Fund; and 1.00% of the

average daily net assets of each Fund attributable to C Class Shares (0.75% for distribution and 0.25% for shareholder service fees).

The Board may temporarily reduce and/or eliminate the payment of Rule 12b-1 fees with respect to the Money Fund to assist the Money Fund’s efforts to maintain a $1.00 NAV per share. Any reduction and/or elimination of the Money Fund’s Rule 12b-1 fees may be reinstated by the Board at any time. Effective January 13, 2009, the Board of Trustees temporarily reduced the payment of Rule 12b-1 fees for C Class Shares of the Money Fund to 50 basis points (0.50%). Effective February 1, 2009, the Board of Trustees temporarily reduced the payment of Rule 12b-1 fees for C Class Shares of the Money Fund to 25 basis points (0.25%) and temporarily eliminated Rule 12b-1 fees for Investor Class Shares of the Money Fund. Effective April 1, 2009, the Board of Trustees eliminated Rule 12b-1 fees for A Class and C Class Shares of the Money Fund.

Distributor: The Funds’ distribution and service plans for the Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares and the C Class Shares allow each class to pay distribution and service fees to the Distributor, which may pay some or all of these fees to financial intermediaries for sales and distribution-related activities and for providing non-distribution related shareholder services. The distribution and service fee is paid to each financial intermediary that enters into a selling agreement with the Distributor or a services agreement with the Accessor Funds based on the average daily net assets of accounts attributable to such intermediary.

Further, under the A Class Shares and C Class Shares distribution and service plan, the Distributor will generally retain the first year of the distribution and service fees attributable to purchases of A Class Shares and will retain the distribution and service fees attributable to purchases of C Class Shares for which a broker-dealer has received an up-front commission payment from the Distributor. The Distributor may retain the distribution and service fee for accounts not attributable to a broker-dealer. Certain A Class Shares and C Class Shares are subject to a 0.50% and 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for shares sold within 18 months and twelve months, respectively, after the date of purchase. Any CDSC is paid to the Distributor. The Distributor may remit portions of the CDSC payments and certain 12b-1 payments to Forward Management to compensate Forward Management for financing the 0.50% and 1.00% up-front payment of the distribution and service fees to broker-dealers pursuant to certain A Class Shares and C Class Shares financing and servicing arrangements between the Distributor and Forward Management.

Other Compensation to Dealers: The Distributor may pay or sponsor informational meetings for dealers as described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Distributor may, for specified periods, allow dealers to retain the full sales charge for sales of shares or may pay additional concession to a dealer who sells a minimum dollar amount of the Funds’ shares. In some instances, such additional concessions will be offered only to certain dealers expected to sell significant amounts of shares. In addition, the Distributor or Forward Management may pay additional compensation, out of their own assets, to certain intermediaries or their affiliates, based on sales or assets attributable to the intermediary, or such other criteria agreed to by the Distributor. The intermediaries to which payments may be made are determined by the Distributor. These payments may provide an incentive, in addition to any deferred sales charge, to these firms to actively promote the Funds, cooperate with the Distributor or provide marketing or service support to the Funds. For more information, please see the Statement of Additional Information.

Forward Management may make payments, out of its own assets, to certain intermediaries based on sales or assets attributable to the intermediary, or such other criteria agreed to by Forward Management. The intermediaries to which payments may be made are determined by Forward Management. These payments are in addition to other payments such as sales charges, Rule 12b-1 fees or deferred sales charges, and may provide an incentive, in addition to any sales charge, to these firms to actively promote the Accessor Funds or to provide marketing or service support to the Accessor Funds. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for more information.

Administrative Services Plan: The Funds have adopted an Administrative Services Plan with respect to the Investor Class Shares of each Fund (with the exception of the Alternative Funds). Pursuant to the Investor Class Shares Administrative Services Plan, the Trust will pay third party service organizations who provide administrative and support services. The amount payable to service organizations under the Administrative Services Plan for these expenses on an annual basis is up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund attributable to Investor Class Shares, provided, however, that no Fund shall directly or indirectly pay any distribution-related amounts that will be allocated under the Funds’ Distribution and Service Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Board of Trustees temporarily eliminated the Administrative Services Fees of the Investor Class Shares of the Money Fund.

Shareholder Services Plans: The Alternative Funds have adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Investor Class Shares of each Alternative Fund. Effective December 31, 2008, up to 0.15% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class Shares may be used to pay shareholder servicing fees. On May 1, 2009, each of the Funds (except the Accessor U.S. Government Money Fund and the Allocation Funds) has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan pursuant to which up to 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class Shares may be used to pay shareholder servicing fees.

Money Fund Administrative Plan: The Money Fund has adopted an Administrative Plan with respect to Institutional Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares and C Class Shares of the Money Fund. Pursuant to the Administrative Plan, the Money Fund will pay Forward Management for certain administrative, informational and support services to investors who may from time to time beneficially own Money Fund shares either directly or through omnibus accounts. The amount payable to Forward Management is up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares and C Class Shares of the Money Fund, respectively; provided, however, that the Money Fund shall not directly or indirectly pay any distribution or non-distribution related amounts for the Investor Class Shares, A Class Shares or C Class Shares that will be allocated under the Funds’ Distribution and Service Plans or any non-distribution related amounts for the Investor Class Shares that will be allocated under the Funds’ Administrative Services Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Forward Management temporarily waived 0.05%.

Transfer Agent: Prior to May 1, 2009, Forward Management served as the Accessor Funds’ transfer agent pursuant to a Transfer Agency and Services Agreement between the Trust and Forward Management. Pursuant to this agreement, Forward Management acted as transfer agent, performing transfer agency and certain compliance services. Effective May 1, 2009, the Trust, on behalf of the Accessor Funds, entered

into a Transfer Agency Agreement with ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) pursuant to which ALPS provides transfer agency, registrar, dividend disbursing and certain other services to the Accessor Funds. ALPS is not considered a related party.

Forward Management has contractually agreed to reimburse the Allocation Funds’ transfer agency fees from May 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010. Forward Management does not have the ability to recapture reimbursed transfer agency fees.

Administration Agreement: Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, acts as the Funds’ Administrator with regard to the Accessor Funds. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement dated December 31, 2006, as amended February 21, 2008, and which was assigned to Forward Funds effective September 1, 2008, the Administrator is entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.05% of the first $3 billion in aggregate net assets and 0.04% of aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion of the Equity Funds, the Bond Funds, the Alternative Funds and the Money Fund. The Administrator is entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.01% of average net assets of each of the Allocation Funds. The Funds are subject to a minimum annual fee of $960,000. The Administrator may be compensated for performing supplemental administrative services to the Accessor Funds, as requested, pursuant to a separate agreement.

Trustee and Officer Fees and Expenses: The Funds do not pay any compensation directly to the officers or trustees who are also trustees, officers or employees of Forward Management or its affiliates, except as noted below. As of December 31, 2009, there were 5 Trustees, 4 of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of that term under the 1940 Act (each, an “Independent Trustee”). Effective September 1, 2008, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, pays each Independent Trustee a retainer fee in the amount of $25,000 per year, $10,000 each per regular meeting for attendance in person, $5,000 each per regular meeting for attendance by telephone, $3,000 each for attendance in person at each special meeting that is not held in conjunction with a regular meeting, and $2,250 for attendance at a special telephonic meeting.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, Accessor Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund and Accessor Mortgage Securities Fund utilized capital loss carryovers of $26,495 and $2,585,387, respectively.

ASC 740: In July 2006, ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“ASC 740”, formely FIN 48), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. ASC 740 has a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Forward Management has completed evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC 740; and concluded that ASC 740 had no effect on the Funds’ net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures. However, Forward Management’s conclusions regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance expected from the FASB, and on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Funds file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. No federal income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ federal and state tax return filings remains open for the prior three fiscal years.

The Accessor Growth Fund, Accessor Value Fund, Accessor Small to Mid Cap Fund, Accessor High Yield Bond Fund, Accessor Income & Growth Allocation Fund, Accessor Balanced Allocation Fund, Accessor Growth & Income Allocation Fund, Accessor Growth Allocation Fund and Accessor Aggressive Growth Allocation Fund elected to defer to the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately $207,375, $1,663,780, $1,809,612, $172,020, $28,482, $55,928, $27,026, $48,727 and $119,903, respectively, of capital losses incurred during the period November 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.

In accordance with accounting pronouncements, the Funds have recorded several reclassifications in the capital accounts. These classifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to distributions in excess of tax earnings and profits and operating loss.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Reclassifications: At December 31, 2009, permanent differences in book and tax accounting were reclassified. These differences had no effect on net assets and were primarily attributed to differences in the tax treatment of foreign currency, certain other investments and treatment of net investment loss. These reclassifications were as follows:
