Notes to Schedules of Investments

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization:

 

Turner Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company and thus is determined to be an investment company for accounting purposes. The funds included herein are Turner Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund (“Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund”), Turner Spectrum Fund (“Spectrum Fund”), Turner Titan Fund (“Titan Fund”), Turner Emerging Growth Fund (“Emerging Growth Fund”), Turner Large Growth Fund (“Large Growth Fund”), Turner Midcap Growth Fund (“Midcap Growth Fund”), and Turner Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds.”

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held September 12, 2014, the Board approved the reorganization of the Large Growth Fund into the Midcap Growth Fund and the Large Growth Fund was closed to new investors on September 30, 2014.

 

2. Significant accounting policies:

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of the Schedules of investments and the Schedules of securities sold short.

 

Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Security valuation — In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market.

 

The Trust has a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 



 

Notes to Schedules of Investments

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price for long positions and the most recent quoted ask price for short positions. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price is used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sales price or NASDAQ Official Closing Price, they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain bid and ask prices from two broker-dealers who make a market in the security and determine the average of the two. In this situation, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board of Trustees.  The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been delisted from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. Depending on the source or relative significance of the valuation inputs, these securities may be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value.  The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time a Fund calculates net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred

 



 

Notes to Schedules of Investments

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

 

between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund calculates net asset value.  A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector.

 

In the event that Turner Investments, L.P. (the “Adviser”) believes that the fair values provided by a third party fair valuation vendor are not reliable, or believes that a foreign security held by a Fund should be fair valued for any other reason, the Adviser shall contact the Sub-administrator, Citi Fund Services, Ohio, Inc., and request that a meeting of the Committee be held. Depending on the source or relative significance of the valuation inputs, these securities may be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

For the period ended December 31, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

 

The following table is a summary of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2014.  The breakdown, by sub-category, of the “common stock” category is disclosed in the Schedule of investments and Schedule of securities sold short for each Fund, as applicable.

Notes to Schedules of Investments

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

 

Security transactions — Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).

 

Securities sold short — Consistent with each Fund’s investment objectives, the Funds may engage in short sales. Short sales are transactions under which a Fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of the replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to any dividends that accrue during the period of the loan. Dividends declared on open short positions are recorded on ex-date and shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a fee, which is shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes. The proceeds of the short sale are retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the close of a short sale.

 

Until a Fund closes its short position or replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will: (a) maintain a segregated account containing cash or liquid securities at such a level that (i) the amount deposited in the account plus the amount deposited with the brokers as collateral will equal the current value of the security sold short; and (ii) the amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will not be less than the market value of the security at the time the security was sold short, or (b) otherwise cover the short positions. The Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund, Spectrum Fund and Titan Fund engaged in short sales during the period ended December 31, 2014.

 

Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities.

 

3.  Loans of portfolio securities:

 

The Funds may lend securities in their portfolios pursuant to a securities lending agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley. Unless otherwise agreed, security loans made

 

pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned based on the previous day’s market value of the securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls are adjusted the next business day. Cash collateral received is invested in the Dollar Shares of the BlackRock

 



 

Notes to Schedules of Investments

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

 

Liquidity Funds TempCash, a money market fund. All such investments are made at the risk of the Funds and, as such, the Funds are liable for investment losses. The Funds receive an annual fee for their participation in the Lending Agreement based on the projected lending activity.

 

In the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, realization/retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

 

Securities lending transactions are entered into by each Fund under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (“MSLA”) which permits the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Funds to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.

 

The following Funds had securities on loan and had invested cash collateral, subject to offset under a MSLA, with the following values as of December 31, 2014:

*The actual value of collateral received may be in excess of the amounts shown in the table.  The table only refelcts collateral amounts up to the amount of the value of the securities on loan as disclosed in the Schedules of investments.

 

4.  Concentration/risks:

 

Certain Funds invest a high percentage of their assets in specific market sectors in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, these Funds may be more susceptible to positive or negative economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular market sector of the market and may experience the effect of this increased volatility on the Fund’s net asset value and a magnified effect on the Fund’s total return.

 

Governments of some developing countries exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector. In some countries, the government owns or controls many companies, including the largest companies in the country. As such, government actions in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions in developing countries in these regions, which could affect private sector companies, the Fund and the value of its securities. Furthermore, certain developing countries are among the largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. Trading in debt obligations issued or guaranteed by such governments or their agencies and instrumentalities involves a high degree of risk.

 

The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

6. Subsequent Events:

 

The Trust has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the schedules of investments were issued.

 

On January 14, 2015, the Board of Trustees determined to close and liquidate the Titan Fund, effective on or about March 13, 2015.  This decision was made after careful consideration of the Titan Fund’s asset size, strategic importance, current expenses and historical performance.  In connection with the planned liquidation, the Titan Fund discontinued accepting orders for the purchase of fund shares or exchanges into the Titan Fund from other Turner Funds as of the close of business on January 30, 2015.

 

At a Special Meeting of Shareholders which took place on January 15, 2015, the shareholders of the Large Growth Fund approved the reorganization of the Large Growth Fund into the Midcap Growth Fund.  The merger was completed at the end of business on January 23, 2015.

 

Based on this evaluation, other than the items noted above, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required as of December 31, 2014.

 

THE SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE FUNDS’ SEMIANNUAL REPORT OR AUDITED ANNUAL REPORT. THESE REPORTS INCLUDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CERTAIN SECURITY TYPES INVESTED IN BY THE FUNDS.

 



 

Item 2.   Controls and Procedures.
