The Munder Funds Letter to Shareholders

DEAR MUNDER FUND SHAREHOLDERS:

    Both the bond and stock markets posted positive performance for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index generated a 4.18% return, with a 3.20% return in the third quarter of 2004 followed by a weaker 0.95% return in the fourth quarter. Within the bond market, the corporate sector had the highest returns for the six-month period. Additionally, lower quality securities tended to outperform higher quality securities, with the 3.51% return for AAA-rated securities bested by the 6.53% return for BBB-rated securities.

    The S&P 500® Index posted a 7.19% return for the six months ended December 31, with a -1.87% return in the third quarter followed by a 9.23% return in the fourth. Historically, rallies have tended to be sharp and swift, and that was the case during this six-month period. During the last three months of the year, when the S&P 500® Index rose by close to 100 points, ten days of double-digit point gains were interspersed with six days of double-digit point declines.

    The swift changes in the financial markets during the past six months are a reminder of the importance of following a long-term investment strategy based on specific investment objectives. Changes in that strategy should be driven by changes in investment objectives, rather than short-term fluctuations in the stock or bond markets.

    The Munder family of mutual funds offers a wide variety of equity, fixed income and money market mutual funds, which can be used to tailor a portfolio to a shareholder’s specific investment goals. Each Fund represents a particular segment of the stock or bond market and adheres to a clearly defined investment discipline. The Munder Healthcare Fund offers shareholders access to investments in health care-related stocks. Effective January 26, 2005, Munder Capital Management assumed responsibility for day-to-day management of the Fund. Previously, Framlington Overseas Investment Management Limited, Munder’s U.K.-based affiliate, served as sub-advisor to the Fund.

    On the following pages, you will find information and commentary on the relative and absolute performance of the Munder Healthcare Fund. If you have any questions about your current investments or any of The Munder Funds, please call your financial advisor. You may also contact the Funds at 1-800-4MUNDER or through our website at www.munder.com. Thank you for your confidence in The Munder Funds. We value the opportunity to work with you toward meeting your investment objectives.

  Very Truly Yours,
 
  -s- Enrique Chang
  Enrique Chang
  President and Principal Executive Officer, The Munder Funds
  President, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer,
      Munder Capital Management

Management’s Discussion of
   Fund Performance

    Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit www.munder.com.

    The Fund concentrates its investments in health care-related securities and is therefore subject to higher market risk and price volatility than funds with more broadly diversified investments. Investors should also note that the Fund can invest all of its assets in foreign securities, and such investments involve additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political conditions, and differences in financial reporting standards.


    Fund holdings are subject to change and percentages shown below are based on total net assets as of December 31, 2004. The following pie chart illustrates the allocation of the Fund’s investments by significant areas of investment. A complete list of holdings as of December 31, 2004 is contained in the Portfolio of Investments included in this report. The most currently available data regarding portfolio holdings and industry allocation can be found on our website, www.munder.com. You may also obtain updated holdings by calling (800) 438-5789.

 SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF INVESTMENT


(PIE CHART)

    The performance data contained in the following commentary is based on Class Y Shares of the Fund for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. Performance of the other classes of shares will differ. The returns for the Fund reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and are reported after the deduction of all expenses. These returns do not, however, reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or upon redemption of Fund shares.

    During the period, the Fund was sub-advised by Framlington Overseas Investment Management, Ltd., which was paid a fee for its services.

MUNDER HEALTHCARE FUND

Fund Manager: The Munder Healthcare Fund Team

    The Fund posted a 2.37% return for the six months ended December 31, compared to the 5.12% return for the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index, the -0.46% return for the S&P 500® Health Care Index, and the 2.68% median return for the Lipper universe of health/biotechnology funds.

    Contributing to the Fund’s modest return for the period was weak performance of health care-related stocks in general. Within the health care sector, however, small-cap stocks (measured by the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index) outperformed large-cap stocks (measured by the S&P 500® Health Care Index). The Fund’s small-capitalization bias was therefore a positive for the Fund during the six-month period.

    On a relative basis, the Fund lagged its Russell 2000 Healthcare benchmark. While the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index is a good indicator of performance of smaller health care companies, it does not represent larger companies or non-U.S. companies, and has limited exposure to biotechnology stocks. Although the Fund has historically favored small and medium-sized companies, it is not subject to any market capitalization constraints and, during the period, was invested across the global health care sector, including the biotechnology, drug & drug delivery, medical devices and medical services sub-sectors.

    On an absolute basis, the Fund’s strongest performance came from the medical devices and health care services sub-sectors. In addition, the drug delivery portion of the drug & drug delivery sub-sector also performed well. Medical device holdings such as American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc., Kinetic Concepts, Inc. and Axis-Shield PLC were strong performers for the six months ended December 31. Nevertheless, weak performance from other holdings such as Boston Scientific Corp., one of our larger company medical device stocks, held back relative returns.

    In the Fund’s medical services sub-sector, larger companies, such as UnitedHealth Group Inc., Centene Corporation, which was sold during the period, and PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc., boosted absolute returns. Relative returns versus the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index were, however, hurt by an underweight in medical services compared to the benchmark, as well as a few disappointments in individual stocks, including Omnicare, Inc., which was also sold during the period, and Accredo Health, Inc.

    Within the drug & drug delivery sub-sector, strong absolute and relative performance from DepoMed, Inc., a drug delivery holding, was more than offset by weaker performance elsewhere in this sub-sector. Pfizer, Inc. performed particularly poorly over the six-month period, as did several specialty pharmaceutical companies.

    After a very strong first half of 2004, biotechnology stocks peaked mid-year and never regained momentum. While the Fund took profits in some of its biotechnology holdings mid-year, the sub-sector was volatile over the balance of the year, and posted a negative return for the six-month period. The Fund’s overweight in biotechnology compared to its Russell 2000 Healthcare benchmark, therefore, held back relative

returns. Another factor that hurt relative returns was country allocation, with a heavy emphasis on U.S. stocks during a period when the U.S. equity market lagged most international benchmarks.


Index and Lipper performance information was furnished by sources deemed reliable and is believed to be accurate, however, no warranty or representation is made as to the accuracy thereof and the information is subject to correction. The Russell 2000 Healthcare Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of healthcare sector companies in the bottom 2,000 companies (based on market capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index, an index representing approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market. The S&P 500® Healthcare Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of healthcare sector companies within the S&P 500® Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index that measures the performance of the large-cap sector of the U.S. stock market. You cannot invest directly in an index, securities in the Fund will not match those in the index, and performance of the Fund will differ. Although reinvestment of dividend and interest payments is assumed, no expenses are netted against an index’s returns.

The Lipper universe of health/ biotechnology funds represents the universe of mutual funds that are categorized by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. under the same investment objective as the Fund. You cannot invest directly in a Lipper universe.

Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited)

Example

    Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, non-12b-1 service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

    Except as otherwise noted, the example below is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period starting July 1, 2004 and ending December 31, 2004.

Actual Expenses

    Except as otherwise noted, the section of the table below entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class of the Fund. 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), and multiply the result by the number in the section entitled “Actual” under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” corresponding to the class you own. If your Class A, Class B, or Class C shares account balance was below the applicable minimum, your expenses may also have included a $6 quarterly small account fee. If your account is an IRA, your expenses may also have included a $10 annual fee. In either case, the amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

    The section of the table below entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of the Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any class of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or the expenses you paid for the period. However, you may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an additional small account fee or IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Table of Contents


    Please note that the expenses shown in the table for the Fund and in similar tables for other funds are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any applicable transactional costs, such as front-end sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any applicable transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Class Y
    $1,000.00     $ 1,016.84     $ 8.44 (1)     1.66%  

(1)  Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio listed above for the applicable class by the average account value over the period and multiplying that number by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
 
(2)  Beginning Account Value is as of 7/29/04, the date on which Class R Shares commenced operations.
 
(3)  Ending Account Value and Expenses Paid are based on the period from 7/29/04-12/31/04. Therefore, expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized expense ratio for Class R Shares by the average account balance over the period from 7/29/04-12/31/04 and multiplying that number by 156/365 (to reflect the portion of the period that Class R Shares were in existence).
 
(4)  Expenses Paid were calculated as if the class had been in existence during the entire period.

    The expenses shown in the table do not reflect any fees that may be charged to you by brokers, financial intermediaries or other financial institutions.

Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

    As of December 31, 2004, the Munder Funds (sometimes referred to as the “Funds”) consisted of 30 portfolios, each of which is a series of Munder Series Trust (“MST”), The Munder Framlington Funds Trust (“MFFT”) or The Munder @Vantage Fund (“@Vantage”). Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Munder Healthcare Fund (the “Fund”), the only series of MFFT. Financial statements for the other Munder Funds are presented in separate reports.

    MFFT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 30, 1996. The Fund is classified as a diversified management investment company under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, each with a par value of $0.001.

    The Fund offers 6 classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y Shares. Class A Shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares on a date based on the initial purchase date of Class B Shares and the passage of a specified period of time since that date. Class K, Class R and Class Y shares are sold only to certain eligible investors, as described in the Fund’s prospectus, without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets resulting from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

    Security Valuation: The Board of Trustees has approved one or more pricing services to provide prices for valuing portfolio securities. Equity securities, including depositary receipts, are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary market or exchange where such securities are traded

19


Table of Contents

Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited) (continued)

or the official close price of such exchange. Depositary receipts for which the last quoted sale price is not available are valued based on the underlying security’s value and relevant exchange rate. Securities and assets, other than depositary receipts, for which market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value by a pricing committee in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges may also be subject to fair valuation by such pricing committee should a significant event occur subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. Fair valuations involve a review of relevant factors, including without limitation, movements in U.S. equity markets following the close of foreign markets, country-specific information, company-specific information, industry information and/or comparable, publicly-traded securities information. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates current market value, unless the Board of Trustees determines that such valuation does not constitute fair value at that time.

    Foreign Currency: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates generally determined as of the close of regular trading on the London Stock Exchange. Purchases and sales of investment securities and items of income and expense denominated in foreign currencies are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

    Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than investment securities are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of foreign currency-related transactions. Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency-related transactions include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment security, foreign currency and foreign interest and dividend income transactions.

    Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of securities. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date of securities denominated in foreign currencies is included in realized gains and losses from security transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited) (continued)

    Forward Foreign Currency Exchange and Spot Contracts: The Fund may engage in forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts in an effort to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The value of such contracts is based on exchange rates generally determined as of the close of regular trading on the London Stock Exchange. Forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts are marked to market daily. The change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from foreign currency-related transactions. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss from foreign currency-related transactions 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 exchange and spot contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange and spot 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.

    Repurchase Agreements: Each repurchase agreement entered into by the Fund provides that the seller must transfer to the Fund initial collateral at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest, and transfer upon request additional collateral any time the value of the collateral falls below such level. Each repurchase agreement also provides that in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to accelerate the seller’s repurchase obligation and/or use the collateral to satisfy the seller’s repurchase obligation. However, there could be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of possible decline in the value of the collateral securities during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

    Security Transactions, Net Investment Income and Gains and Losses: For purposes of financial statement presentation, security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. General expenses of the Munder Funds are allocated to the Fund based upon the relevant driver of

21


Table of Contents

such expenses. General expenses, income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Fund are then prorated among the share classes based on the relative average net assets of each class.

    Fees Waived by Transfer Agent: Pursuant to a contract with the transfer agent, which was terminated on September 30, 2004, the transfer agent had agreed to waive a portion of the fee it charged the Fund. The amount of the waiver was equal to the servicing fee it collected from Fund shareholders with account balances below a specified minimum. For the period ended December 31, 2004, such waivers were $8,450 and are reflected as fees waived by transfer agent in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

    Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees: A short-term trading fee of 2% may be assessed on redemptions made within 60 days of purchase of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. These fees (if any) are shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as short-term trading fees.

    Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually (if available) by the Fund. The Fund’s net realized capital gains (including net short-term capital gains), if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

    Federal Income Taxes: The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.

3.  Investment Advisor, Sub-Advisor, Administrator and Other Related Party Transactions

    For its advisory services, Munder Capital Management (the “Advisor”) is entitled to receive from the Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate of 1.00% on the first $250 million of assets and 0.75% on assets exceeding $250 million.

    The Advisor is also the administrator for the Munder Funds. In its capacity as administrator, the Advisor is entitled to receive from the Fund an administration fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average

22

Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited) (continued)

daily net assets of the Fund at the following annual rates subject to a Fund minimum fee:

         
Annual
Fund Net Assets Fee:

First $100 million
    0.153%  
Next $150 million
    0.128%  
Next $250 million
    0.104%  
Next $500 million
    0.079%  
Thereafter
    0.055%  

In addition, beginning August 10, 2004, the Advisor is entitled to receive from the Fund an annual financial reporting fee in the amount of $8,000.

    For the period ended December 31, 2004, the Advisor earned $172,392 before payment of sub-administration fees and $114,978 after payment of sub-administration fees for its administrative services to the Fund. During the period ended December 31, 2004, the Fund paid an annual effective rate of 0.1407% for administrative services.

    Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Advisor, Framlington Overseas Investment Management Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) provided sub-advisory services to the Fund and was responsible for its management, including all decisions regarding purchases and sales of portfolio securities. For its services with regard to the Fund, the Advisor paid the Sub-Advisor a monthly fee equal on an annual basis to 40% of the net advisory revenues earned by the Advisor with respect to the Fund. The Advisor indirectly owns a 49% interest in the Sub-Advisor.

    Comerica Inc. (“Comerica”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Comerica Bank, owns approximately 95% of the Advisor (86% on a fully diluted basis) as of December 31, 2004. Comerica Bank provides certain sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund. As compensation for the sub-transfer agency and related services provided to the Fund, Comerica Bank receives a fee of 0.01% of the average daily net assets of the Fund beneficially owned by Comerica Bank and its customers. Comerica Bank earned $687 for its sub-transfer agency and other related services provided to the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2004.

    Each Trustee of MST and MFFT is paid quarterly an aggregate fee consisting of a $78,000 annual retainer ($114,000 for the Chairman) for services provided as a Board member, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. For quarters ending prior to October 1, 2004, each Trustee of MST and MFFT was paid an aggregate fee, consisting of a $68,000 annual retainer ($90,000 for the Chairman and

nominee for Chairman) for services provided as a Board member, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. Each Trustee of @Vantage is paid quarterly an annual retainer of $6,000 for services provided as a Board member, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. For quarters ending prior to October 1, 2004, each Trustee of @Vantage was paid an annual retainer of $4,000 for services provided as a Board member, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. A Board member who is Chairman of a committee (Audit Committee, Board Process and Compliance Oversight Committee, and/or Nominating Committee) also receives an annual retainer of $3,000 for such service. Trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of the fees earned under a deferred compensation plan. Under this plan, amounts deferred are valued as if they are invested in one or more of the Munder Funds selected by the Trustee. These amounts are not, however, actually invested in shares of the Munder Funds, and the obligations of MST, MFFT and @Vantage to make payments of deferred amounts are unsecured general obligations of the Munder Funds. No officer, director or employee of the Advisor, Sub-Advisor, Comerica or any of Comerica’s affiliates receives any compensation from MST, MFFT or @Vantage.

4. Distribution and Service Plan

    The Fund has a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class K Shares, that was adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act except with respect to Class K Shares. Under the Plan, service fees are collected from the Fund primarily to pay securities dealers and other financial institutions and organizations (collectively, the “Service Organizations”) who provide shareholder services for the Fund. The Plan also permits payments with respect to Class B, Class C and Class R Shares to be made by the Fund to the Distributor or directly to other service providers in connection with the distribution of Fund shares to investors and provision of certain shareholder services (which include but are not limited to the payment of compensation, including compensation to Service Organizations to obtain various distribution-related services for the Fund).

    The maximum rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, payable under the Plan are as follows:

                                     
Class A Class B Class C Class R Class K
Shares Shares Shares Shares Shares
12b-1 Fees 12b-1 Fees 12b-1 Fees 12b-1 Fees Service Fees

  0.25%       1.00%       1.00%       1.00%       0.25%  

24


Table of Contents

Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited) (continued)

    For Class R Shares, the 12b-1 fees have been limited to 0.50% pursuant to the Fund’s contract with the Distributor. No payments are made under the Plan with regard to Class Y Shares.

    Comerica Securities, Inc. (“Comerica Securities”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comerica Bank, and Comerica Bank are among the Service Organizations who may receive fees from the Fund under the Plan. For the period ended December 31, 2004, the Fund paid $33 to Comerica Securities and $104 to Comerica Bank for shareholder services provided to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Class R shareholders.

5. Securities Transactions

    Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities other than short-term investments and U.S. Government securities were $66,540,379 and $88,492,466 respectively, for the period ended December 31, 2004.

    At December 31, 2004, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities for which there was an excess of value over financial reporting cost was $55,224,272 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities for which there was an excess of financial reporting cost over value was $24,827,015 and net appreciation for financial reporting purposes was $30,397,257. At December 31, 2004, aggregate cost for financial reporting purposes was $219,174,579.

6. Industry Concentration

    The Fund invests primarily in companies that are principally engaged in activities within the healthcare sector and companies providing services primarily within the healthcare industries. Healthcare is particularly affected by rapidly changing technology and extensive government regulation, including cost containment measures. Adverse economic, business or political developments affecting that sector could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate more than shares of a fund investing in a broader range of securities.

7. Revolving Line of Credit

    Effective December 15, 2004, the Munder Funds renewed a one-year revolving line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company in which the Fund, and other Munder Funds, participate. Borrowings under the line may not exceed the lesser of $75,000,000 or 15% of the value of the total assets of the Fund. Interest is payable on outstanding borrowings at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. Additionally, the line of credit includes an annual

25


Table of Contents

Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited) (continued)

commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum through December 14, 2005 on the daily amount of the unused commitment. During the period ended December 31, 2004, the Fund did not utilize the revolving line of credit. For the period ended December 31, 2004, total commitment fees for the Fund were $2,037.

8. Indemnification Obligations

    The Fund has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

9. Income Tax Information

    Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund as a whole. The Fund also may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

    At June 30, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

                     
Post October Unrealized
Loss/Capital Appreciation/
Loss Carryover (Depreciation) Total

$ (178,756,275)     $ 38,129,604     $ (140,626,671 )

    The differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales and deferred trustees’ fees.

    As determined at June 30, 2004, the Fund had available for Federal income tax purposes, $176,667,462 of unused capital losses of which $3,121,589, $129,868,670 and $43,677,203 expire in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. In addition, $2,475,702 of the losses expiring in 2010, may be further limited as these amounts were acquired in the reorganization with the Munder Bio(Tech)2 Fund that occurred on May 9, 2003.

Notes to Financial Statements, December 31, 2004 (Unaudited) (continued)

    Certain capital and net foreign currency losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. The Fund has elected to defer net capital and currency losses arising between November 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004 of $2,004,157 and $84,656, respectively.

10. Subsequent Events

    On November 9, 2004, the Board of Trustees of MFFT, on behalf of the Fund, approved the termination of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement dated June 13, 2003 between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The termination of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement will be effective on March 21, 2005. The Advisor continues to serve as investment advisor to the Fund and assumed full responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio on January 26, 2005.

    Also on November 9, 2004, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the name of the trust from the Munder Framlington Funds Trust to Munder Series Trust II.

    Pursuant to a Supplement dated February 3, 2005, to the Fund’s Prospectus dated October 31, 2004, the following disclosure was added to the Shareholder Guide in the Fund’s Prospectus under the heading “Purchase Information — Policies for Purchasing Shares — Investment Minimums (Class Y Shares)”: Investment minimums do not apply to purchases made through certain retirement plans and certain programs approved by the Fund in which you pay an asset-based fee for advisory, administrative and/or brokerage services.

11. Quarterly Portfolio Schedule

    The Fund files with the Securities and Exchange Commission its complete schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
