Economic Review and Market Environment

As the US eagerly welcomed a new administration to the White House in January, the ongoing bane of weak growth and rising unemployment served as a stark indicator that the challenges facing the economy will not be quickly reversed. When the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) “growth” figures for 2008’s fourth quarter were finalized, little shock accompanied the revelation of a 6.3% annualized contraction. Benefiting from the clarity of hindsight, the pullback in the pace of economic activity that characterized the first eight-and-a-half months of 2008 was exacerbated by last September’s failure of Lehman Brothers and the inconsistent response of the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve since then. While the evidence of this economic “hard stop” is captured in the sharply falling GDP of the fourth quarter and the consensus expectations for a similar retrenchment in the first quarter of 2009, it does not take an econometric model to highlight the acceleration in job losses that started seven months ago, when weak employment conditions turned dreadful, resulting in four million fewer jobs now versus then. (The picture may even be bleaker, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics methodology is prone to underestimating the prevailing trend.) Now, despite 15 straight months of negative readings on these Non-Farm Payrolls figures, the outlook remains unpromising, with most forecasts calling for the string of losses to last at least through the end of 2009.

In response, very little has been spared in the way of government effort to stimulate economic activity and to promote orderly and liquid capital markets. From a traditional monetary perspective, the Fed Funds rate has been effectively at zero since mid-December, when quantitative easing was implemented. Less conventional, though, has been a spate of initiatives involving direct Federal Reserve and US Treasury participation in the markets as a means of expanding credit creation and increasing the velocity of money. One aspect of the Fed’s approach has been relatively straightforward and that has been the direct purchase of US Treasury issues, in addition to the purchase of Agency debentures and Agency mortgage-backed securities. Via the Fed’s investment in these markets, the averred goal has been to push down, in particular, the borrowing rate for conforming home loans, with the hope of increasing the volume of purchase and refinancing activity, providing a stabilizing effect on what has been a housing market beset by falling prices for nearly three years.

Other means of stoking capital market demand were unveiled in greater detail as the first quarter of 2009 wound down, with the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (the TALF, first proposed last November) and the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) representative of parallel efforts by the Fed and US Treasury. At the core of each government program is a commitment to provide non-recourse lending to eligible borrowers/investors. While the TALF is initially geared toward attracting capital to the consumer lending markets for auto loans, credit cards, student loans and equipment leases, the PPIP is designed to facilitate purchases of loans and securities from bank balance sheets. The key to both programs is providing government-sponsored leverage to entice investors with an enhanced reward-risk profile. While it remains too soon to predict success for the TALF and PPIP initiatives, early reaction was positive and motivated some late first quarter 2009 firming up in pricing across the residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and the asset-backed securities (ABS) markets.

Pitted against the backdrop of economic weakness and clogged up capital market conditions over the past six months, not surprisingly, volatility has reigned. For instance, while US Treasury issues gained 7.3% over the past six months, propelled by a pronounced flight-to-safety last fall, on a 2009 year-to-date basis, the broad US Treasury market was down 1.3%. More tellingly, long-dated US Treasury bonds, while losing nearly 11% in 2009 through March, were up 13.4% for the 6-month period, meaning a 27% return in the fourth quarter of 2008. The high yield index (Barclays Capital US Corporate High Yield Index), by contrast, picked up nearly 6% in the first quarter, on the heels of an 18% loss to close out the last three months of a forgettable 2008. Ironically, as the high yield market rallied in the first quarter, the investment grade corporate index fell back 1.9%, as the financial component of the index lost 7.9% and even AAA-rated issues declined 6.7%, as cohort cornerstones GE Capital and Berkshire Hathaway were downgraded, further paring the ranks of gilt-edged corporate issuers. What further separated the seeming rationality of the first quarter return gap between high yield and investment grade was the pickup in high yield defaults. Though not a surprise to see defaults increase given the economic headwinds, performance gains are unlikely the first conclusion an investor might draw. Another area of the

 

  Annual Report March 2009 / 1


fixed income market where volatility and incongruity prevailed was in consumer finance debt, as automobile loan and credit card receivables drew a bid from the rollout of the TALF. Conversely, the RMBS markets continued to face the combined impact of weak fundamentals, forced liquidations, and servicer-friendly (rather than investor-friendly) modification legislation, thus keeping sponsorship on the sidelines.

The Economy and Market Ahead

Looking forward, Met West’s perspective is shaped by a recognition that the economy has substantially deteriorated over the past six months since the semi-annual report, with bad news nearly uniform. However, the rate of decline appears to be slowing with occasional modest upside surprises – think retail sales rather than employment, at least for the time being. The massive amount of government stimulus, which has sought to offset private balance sheet destruction, is likely to reorient business and consumer behavior for some time to come. Businesses will operate with less leverage and face slower growth, resulting in restrained earnings prospects even as the pace of economic growth turns positive. Consumers, too, will take on less debt (increase savings) and restrain consumption. Though government spending will mitigate some of the pullback by businesses and consumers, economic growth is expected to fall below historical trend for at least two years. While a return of inflationary pressure at this point now seems inconceivable with slackening employment and other capacity measures, the massive government stimulus – appropriate as it may be – is likely to spur price increases and put the dollar at risk of weakening vis à vis the rest of the world.

Notwithstanding the economic backdrop, Met West maintains an investment view that many areas of the capital markets, especially non-US Treasury sectors in fixed income, have overshot on the projections of weakness. In particular, pricing in the mortgage markets currently implies that 80% of Alt-A and subprime borrowers will default on home loans, while prime borrowers will be foreclosed upon at ten times historical rates. Should the TALF and PPIP initiatives gain momentum, the recovery timeline could be materially moved up. In corporate issues, including high yield, risk premiums do appear compelling; however, caution prevails as the economic headwinds are likely to put pressure on profitability for the next several quarters. Consequently, it is reasonable to expect corporate defaults to persist – as indicated above, February 2009 recorded among the all-time highs for high yield defaults – so the risk-return proposition must be deeply evaluated, and attractive entry points are likely to be ongoing.

Data sources for the discussion above include Bloomberg, Barclays, and Merrill Lynch.

Fund Results

General Performance Commentary

Given the abysmal conditions in the capital markets, there was a limited amount of good news in the way of Fund performance, with only the HighYield Fund generating positive returns relative to the benchmark over the six- and 12-month periods ended March 31, 2009. Reluctant might be the most optimistic way to describe investors in the present environment, as the downward pricing has been due more to match supply to limited demand in the market (technicals) rather than a reasonable discounting of the cash flows expected from investments (fundamentals). This technical dislocation has been severe, with a far bigger adjustment to the downside than expected from well-secured, cash-flowing fixed income investments.

Most relevant to the disappointing performance across all of the Funds has been portfolio weighting towards the RMBS markets, which we would estimate at a decline of 30% to 35% over the past six to 12 months. This has led to underperformance that has been more pronounced in the shorter duration mandates of the Ultra Short, Low Duration, AlphaTrak 500 and Strategic Income Funds, as RMBS holdings, typically with very limited sensitivity to general interest rate levels, have been staples of these Funds dating back to inception. Another area of opportunity that has proved disappointing to-date has been the addition – starting late in 2008 – of corporate issues in the financial sector. Though expectations remain that these investments will deliver a material contribution to relative performance over time as stabilization occurs and recovery unfolds, the uncertainties over government involvement have rendered these modest detractors to performance over the past few months.

The yield profiles of the Funds suggest that the difficult performance period that has taken place could very well reverse in the quarters ahead as premium cash flow yields and expected price normalization reward the value trapped in the Funds by current conditions. In particular, it is anticipated that opportunity-seeking investors will return to the markets. Though some of that is evident at the present time, one real indicator of a recovery gaining momentum will be financial investors currently on the sidelines returning to take advantage of what is expected to be a steep US Treasury yield curve.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The returns shown do not take into account taxes on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Current performance may be lower or higher. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained at www.mwamllc.com. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an unmanaged index assumes no transaction costs, taxes, management fees or other expenses. A direct investment in an index is not possible.

 

2 / Annual Report March 2009  


The net expense ratio reflects a contractual agreement by the Adviser to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the current fiscal year. The Adviser voluntarily extended the agreement for the current fiscal year and expects to renew contractual expense limitation each year in May. Without fee waivers, returns would have been lower. For additional expense ratio information, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of the report.

Management Discussion of Ultra Short Bond Fund Performance

As has been the case over the past 18 months, the difficulties across the non-US Treasury areas of the fixed income market have weighed heavily on the performance of the Ultra Short Fund, as with other MetWest Funds discussed in this report. In particular, the dramatic repricing of the non-Agency RMBS market sector has defied the fundamentals of those securities and produced significant recent underperformance. Though duration and yield curve strategies have been able to add some incremental value, the swings in pricing have been such that the sector allocation and security selection (which are reflected elsewhere in this report) have dominated the attribution.

Management Discussion of Intermediate Bond Fund Performance

As with the Total Return Bond Fund, the performance deficit built up in the last three months of 2008 was reversed, albeit slightly, in the first quarter of 2009. While the conditions of the 2008 lag were largely attributable to unexpectedly severe underperformance from the spread sectors of the fixed income market, particularly, non-Agency RMBS, positive performance in the first quarter was generated by positioning for a steepening yield curve. Additionally, though non-Agency RMBS lagged, Agency MBS fared well as the Fed’s commitment to buy provided technical support to pricing, rewarding an overweight (the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Index carries no MBS exposure) in the Intermediate Bond Fund.

Management Discussion of High Yield Bond Fund Performance

A strategic emphasis that continued to favor quality and secured lending, i.e., bank loans, provided a solid performance foundation for the High Yield Bond Fund. Tilting toward Non-Cyclicals, particularly utility and energy debt, was also additive, as spreads tightened in these rare areas that supported issuance during the first quarter of 2009. Also beneficial to performance was the Fund’s sidestepping of the widespread default activity that took place, and even where there was exposure to restructuring met with stable – or even rising - prices, as some of the uncertainty as to the ongoing capital structure was removed with the increased clarity. On the other side of the performance ledger, investment commitments in the financial sector lagged over the past six months as uncertainty remained over balance sheet repair and ongoing government participation.

Management Discussion of Strategic Income Fund Performance

As has been the case over the past 18 months, the difficulties across the non-US Treasury areas of the fixed income market have weighed heavily on the performance of the Strategic Income Fund as well. As with the AlphaTrak 500 Fund, the dramatic repricing of the non-Agency RMBS market sector has defied the fundamentals of those securities and produced significant recent under performance. Though duration and yield curve strategies have been able to add some incremental value, the swings in pricing – skewed downward - have been such that the sector allocation and security selection (which are reflected elsewhere in this report) have dominated the attribution.

In particular, the dramatic repricing of the non-Agency RMBS market sector has defied the fundamentals of those securities and produced significant recent underperformance. Though duration and yield curve strategies have been able to add some incremental value, the swings in pricing have been such that the sector allocation and security selection have dominated the attribution. Additionally, the steep drop in the S&P 500 through the last third of 2008 produced a significant demand for liquidity on the Fund, resulting in fairly heavy selling of securities by the Fund. With a pronounced increase in transactions costs as capital markets were steeped in near-panic, there was a measurable cost impact on performance.

A Consistent Long-Term Value Orientation

Looking over the past six months, the consensus among the investment management team at MetWest is that the worst of capital market conditions have been visited upon us. A lack of confidence in the financial infrastructure has put markets in retreat and is likely to take a long time to restore. However, we are optimistic that the system is not irretrievably broken and believe that a fundamental value orientation will be rewarded in the environment ahead. As such, MetWest remains committed to its value-oriented philosophy and long-term perspective, as painful as that has been over the past 12 months. The investment team continues to target consistent outperformance of the Funds’ benchmarks over normal, long-term market cycles by diversifying the sources of value-added in the portfolios. Those value-added strategies include: (1) duration management, (2) yield curve positioning, (3) sector allocation, (4) security selection, and (5) opportunistic execution.

Again, we thank you for your continued support of the Metropolitan West Funds and look forward to the ongoing opportunity to meet your investment objectives.

Sincerely,

Andrew Tarica

Chairman, Board of Trustees

Metropolitan West Funds

U.S. Treasury bonds, unlike mutual funds, are insured direct obligations of the U.S. Government that offer a fixed rate of return when held to maturity. A quality rating, such as “BB,” refers to the credit risk of individual securities, and not to the Fund. Investment by a Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.

Bond Funds have similar interest rates, issues and credit risks as those associated with the underlying bonds in their portfolio, all of which could reduce a Fund’s value. As interest rates rise, the value of a Bond Fund can decline and an investor can lose principal. The High Yield Bond Fund purchases more speculative bonds, which are subject to greater risks than higher-rated bonds. The Strategic Income Fund engages in sophisticated investment strategies. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund trades futures and derivative contracts. These Funds may not be suitable for all investors.

The views and forecasts expressed here are as of May 2009, are subject to change without notice and may not come to pass. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decision-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors.

The performance tables and graphs do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Unlike an index, the Fund’s total returns are reduced by transaction costs, taxes, management fees and other expenses.

Metropolitan West Funds

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2009 (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return for the past six month period, the “Expense Ratio” column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, 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 given for your Fund in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expense shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Metropolitan West Funds do not charge any sales loads or exchange fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The maximum potential payment the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.

SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION

The Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 9, 1996 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act” as amended). Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), a federally registered investment adviser, provides the Funds (as defined below) with investment management services. The Trust currently consists of seven separate portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Ultra Short Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund (the “Low Duration Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Intermediate Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund (the “Total Return Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”), and Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund (the “AlphaTrak 500 Fund”). The Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund commenced investment operations on March 31, 1997. Effective March 31, 2000, the Low Duration Bond Fund and the Total Return Bond Fund offered two classes of shares: Class M and Class I shares. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund – Class M commenced investment operations on June 29, 1998. The Intermediate Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on June 28, 2002. The High Yield Bond Fund – Class M commenced operations on September 30, 2002. The High Yield Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on March 31, 2003. Class M shares of the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Ultra Short Bond Fund, and the Strategic Income Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2003. The Strategic Income Fund – Class I commenced operations on March 31, 2004 and the Ultra Short Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on July 30, 2004.

The Ultra Short Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of up to one year. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity will normally exceed one year.

The Low Duration Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of up to three years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from one to five years.

The Intermediate Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of one to six years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from three to seven years.

The Total Return Bond Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return. This Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of two to eight years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from two to fifteen years.

The High Yield Bond Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a portfolio of high yield fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of two to eight years. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more particular issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from two to fifteen years.

The Strategic Income Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return without tracking any particular markets or indices. This Fund uses techniques intended to provide absolute (positive) returns in all markets by employing a strategy intended to produce high income while exploiting disparities or inefficiencies in markets. The Fund will focus on inefficiencies related to secured or asset-backed debt compared with unsecured and subordinated debt or equity of companies and issuers. Additionally, the Fund will focus on longer-term cyclical anomalies in the fixed income markets to both enhance yield and realize potential price appreciation. These anomalies include: shifts in the portfolio’s duration, yield curve anomalies, and sector and issue-specific dislocations. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more particular issuers than a diversified fund.

The AlphaTrak 500 Fund seeks to achieve a total return that exceeds the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”). The Fund combines non-leveraged investments in S&P 500 Index futures contracts and swaps with a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of up to three years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from one to five years.

A more complete description of the objectives and strategies of each of the Funds can be found in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained at www.mwamllc.com or by calling (800) 241-4671.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

Security Valuation:

The Funds value securities pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at prices as provided by independent pricing vendors. The Funds receive pricing information from independent pricing vendors (approved by the Board) which also use information provided by market makers or estimates of values obtained from yield data relating to investments of securities with similar characteristics. As appropriate, quotations for high yield bonds may also take additional factors into consideration such as the activity of the underlying equity or sector movements. However, securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. The Funds also use a benchmark pricing system to the extent vendor’s prices for their securities are either inaccurate (such as when the reported prices are different from recent known market transactions) or are not available from another pricing source. For a security priced using this system, the Adviser initially selects a proxy comprised of a relevant security (i.e. U.S. Treasury Note) or benchmark (e.g. LIBOR) and a multiplier, divisor or margin that the Adviser believes would together best reflect changes in the market value of the security. The value of the security changes daily based on changes to the market price of the assigned benchmark. Once each month the Adviser obtains from one or more dealers an independent review of prices produced by the benchmark system as well as a review of the benchmark selected to adjust the price. The benchmark pricing system is continuously reviewed by the Adviser and implemented according to the pricing policy reviewed by the Board. Debt securities, which mature in less than 60 days, are valued at amortized cost if their original maturity was 60 days or less. If their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days, they are valued by amortizing the value as of the 61st day prior to maturity (unless the Board determines that this method does not represent fair value). S&P 500 futures contracts are valued at the first sale price after 4 p.m. ET on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. All other futures contracts are valued at the official settlement price of the exchange where it is traded. Equity securities, including depository receipts, are valued at the last reported sale price or the market’s closing price on the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the average of the bid and asked prices. In cases where equity securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange or market determined by the Adviser to be the broadest and most representative market, which may be either a securities exchange or the over-the-counter market. Securities and other assets that cannot be valued as described above will be valued at their fair value as determined by the Adviser under guidelines established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income:

Security transactions are accounted for no later than the first net asset value calculation on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio securities transactions are reported on trade date. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the first-in first-out method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Discounts and premiums on securities are amortized using the interest method.

Distributions to Shareholders:

The Funds (except the AlphaTrak 500 Fund) expect to declare distributions daily and pay them monthly to shareholders. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund expects to declare and pay distributions to shareholders quarterly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, will be made at least annually. The Board may determine to declare and make distributions more or less frequently.

Federal Income Taxation:

It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on September 29, 2007. The implementation of FIN48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the Funds.

 

120 / Annual Report March 2009  


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

As of and during the year ended March 31, 2009, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2004, by state tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by tax authorities outside the U.S. for tax years before 2000.

Cash and cash equivalents:

The Funds have defined cash and cash equivalents as cash in interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts.

Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”):

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 157 effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. The Funds adopted FAS 157 as of April 1, 2008. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

* Level 1 - quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical securities

* Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

* Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of March 31, 2009, Level 3 securities consist of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate bonds and interest only securities that trade in over the counter markets. As described in Note 2, these securities are valued using indicative bid and ask quotations from bond dealers and market makers. Indicative quotations and other information used by the Funds may not always be directly observable in the marketplace due to the nature of these markets and the manner of execution. These inputs, the methodology used for valuing such securities, and the characterization of such securities as Level 3 securities are not necessarily an indication of liquidity, or the risk associated with investing in these securities.

The summary of inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2009 is as follows:

** Included in the related realized gains/(losses) and net change in appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations.

The amount of total gains/(losses) for the year ended March 31, 2009 that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains/(losses) relating to investments in Level 3 assets still held as of March 31, 2009 of the Ultra Short Bond Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Strategic Income Fund and AlphaTrak 500 Fund were $(1,660,284), $(3,672,902), $(19,125), $(939,828), $136,954, $(13,372,704) and $(895,372), respectively, which are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized depreciation on investments.

The Funds also implemented FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45”, (“FSP-133”). FSP-133 amends FASB Statement No. 133 (“FAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The amendments to FAS 133 include required disclosure for (i) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (ii) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (iii) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (iv) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with FSP-133 and incorporated as part of the Note on swap agreements to the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

 

  Annual Report March 2009 / 123


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”) and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS 161. The impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

The Funds may invest in mortgage pass-through securities which represent interests in pools of mortgages in which payments of both principal and interest on the securities are generally made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by borrowers on the residential or commercial mortgage loans which underlie the securities (net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). Mortgage pass-through securities differ from other forms of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates.

The Funds may invest in securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (“FHLMC”). These are fixed income securities that derive their value from or represent interests in a pool of mortgages or mortgage securities. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage-backed security and could result in losses to the Funds. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include sub-prime mortgages. Sub-prime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. The securities are not backed by sub-prime borrowers.

Additionally, securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right to the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.

On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) was appointed as conservator of FNMA and FHLMC. In addition, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to provide capital as needed to ensure FNMA and FHLMC continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.

The Funds may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by residential or commercial mortgage loans or residential or commercial mortgage pass-through securities. Interest and principal are generally paid monthly. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage pass-through securities but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA. The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”). CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different stated maturity. Monthly payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes usually receive principal only after shorter classes have been retired. An investor may be partially protected against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments.

The Funds may enter into to be announced (“TBA”) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Funds’ other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described in Note 2 under “Security Valuation”.

The Funds may purchase and write call and put options on securities, securities indices and on foreign currencies. A Fund may purchase put options on securities to seek to protect holdings in an underlying or related security against a substantial decline in market value. A Fund may purchase call options on securities to seek to protect against substantial increases in prices of securities the Fund intends to purchase pending its ability to invest in such securities in an orderly manner. A Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is covered by the Fund’s holding a position in the underlying securities or by other means which would permit immediate satisfaction of the Fund’s obligation as writer of the option. The purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. During the option period, the covered call writer has, in return for the premium on the option, given up the opportunity to profit from a price

 

124 / Annual Report March 2009  


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

increase in the underlying securities above the sum of the premium and exercise price, but, as long as its obligation as a writer continues, has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying securities decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it maybe required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying securities at the exercise price. If a put or call option purchased by the Fund is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or suspensions are imposed on the options markets, a Fund may be unable to close out a position.

The Funds may invest in Collateralized Bond Obligations (“CBOs”), Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and other Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”), which are debt instruments backed solely by a pool of other debt securities. The risks of an investment in a CBO, CLO or other CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CBO, CLO or other CDO in which a Fund invests. Some CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs have credit ratings, but are typically issued in various classes with various priorities. Normally, CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs are privately offered and sold (that is, not registered under the securities laws) and may be characterized by the Funds as illiquid securities, but an active dealer market may exist for CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs that qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition to the normal interest rate, default and other risks of fixed income securities CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs carry additional risks, including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, the Funds may invest in CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, volatility in value, and the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

The Funds may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). During the year ended March 31, 2009, certain interest only securities were held as part of the overall mortgage portfolio holdings. The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs. Such securities will be considered liquid only if so determined in accordance with guidelines established by the Board. The Funds also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued. These securities will be considered illiquid for purposes of each Fund’s limit on illiquid securities.

The Funds may purchase participations in commercial loans, or may purchase assignments of such loans. Such indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Funds may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. When purchasing loan participations, a Fund assumes the credit risk associated with the corporate borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary. The participation interests in which a Fund intends to invest may not be rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Participations and assignments also involve special types of risk, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risk of being a lender. If the Fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower.

The Funds may also sell a debt or equity security short that is, without owning it and borrow the same security from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Adviser may use short sales when it believes a security is overvalued or as a partial hedge against a position in a related security of the same issuer held by a Fund. The Ultra Short Bond Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, and Total Return Bond Fund, will not make total short sales exceeding 25% of the value of that Fund’s assets. The High Yield Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund will not make total short sales exceeding 33 1/3% of the Fund’s assets. If the value of the security sold short increases, a Fund would lose money because it would need to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a higher price. The potential loss is unlimited. (If the short sale was intended as a hedge against another investment, the loss on the short sale may be fully or partially offset by gains in that other investment.) At March 31, 2009, the Funds did not hold any short debt or equity.

A lender may request that the borrowed securities be returned on short notice; if that occurs at a time when other short sellers of the subject security are receiving similar requests, a “short squeeze” can occur. This means that the Fund might be compelled, at the most disadvantageous time, to replace borrowed securities previously sold short, with purchases on the open market at prices significantly greater than those at which the securities were sold short. Short selling also may produce higher than normal portfolio turnover and result in increased transaction costs to the Fund. The Funds also may make short sales “against-the-box”, in which the Funds sell

 

  Annual Report March 2009 / 125


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

short securities they own. The Funds will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales against-the-box, which result in a “constructive sale”, requiring the Fund to recognize any taxable gain from the transaction.

The Funds may purchase or sell exchange-traded futures contracts, which are contracts that obligate the Fund to make or take delivery of a financial instrument or the cash value of a security index at a specified future date at a specified price. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the stock and bond markets or changes in interest rates and currency values, or for gaining exposure to markets. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market at the time the Adviser to the Fund may be attempting to sell some or all the Fund holdings or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund, generally on a daily basis. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. The Statement of Operations reflects net realized and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts.

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, whereby a Fund sells securities concurrently with entering into an agreement to repurchase those securities at a later date at a fixed price. During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Fund continues to receive principal and interest payments on those securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are speculative techniques involving leverage and are considered borrowings by the Fund for purposes of the percentage limitations applicable to borrowings. The average dollar amount and average interest rate of reverse repurchase agreements in the Low Duration Bond Fund, Strategic Income Fund and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund for the year ended March 31, 2009 were $13,717,203 and 1.16%, $17,963,025 and 2.73% and $2,157,940 and 1.73%, respectively.

In addition to the securities listed above, the AlphaTrak 500 Fund may invest in the following equity derivative instruments with a notional or contractual value up to its total assets: S&P 500 Index futures contracts, Mini S&P 500 Index futures contracts, options on the S&P 500 Index and S&P futures, and swap agreements involving the S&P 500 Index. When the above listed S&P Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund may invest up to 100% in the common stocks that comprise the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its total assets in these stocks indirectly by purchasing interests in one or more mutual funds, asset pools, or trusts that invest in such stocks.

The Funds may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than a year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as 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. A swap contract may not be assigned without the consent of the counter-party (and in certain circumstances may not be assignable), and may result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counter-party.

In addition, the Funds may enter into credit default swap agreements. The buyer in a credit default contract is obligated to pay the seller a periodic, stream of payments over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. In the event of default, the seller must pay the buyer the par value (full notional value) of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. The Funds may be either the buyer or seller in such transactions. If the Fund is a buyer and no event of default occurs, the Fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if an event of default occurs, the buyer receives full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller of a credit default swap, the Fund receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no default event. If an event of default occurs, the seller may pay the notional value of the reference obligation. The value of the reference obligation received by the seller, coupled with the periodic payments previously received may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. In addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counter-party risk and credit risk.

The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Swaption contracts written by the Funds represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a new swap agreement, or to shorten, extend, cancel or modify an existing swap agreement, on a future date on specified terms. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement. At March 31, 2009, the Funds did not hold swaptions.

The Funds also may enter into total return swap agreements. Total Return Swap is the generic name for any non-traditional swap where one party agrees to pay the other the “total return” of a defined underlying asset, usually in return for receiving a stream of

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

LIBOR based cashflows. The Total Return Swap may be applied to any underlying asset but is most commonly used with equity indices, single stocks, bonds and defined portfolios of loans and mortgages. The Total Return Swap is 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.

As a result, unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of the swaps, including periodic amounts of interest paid or received on swaps is reported as unrealized gains or losses in both the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or termination of swap agreements. Swap agreements are stated at fair value. Notional principal amounts are used upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of swap agreements to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, but the amounts subject to credit risk are much smaller. At March 31, 2009, the Funds had outstanding swap agreements as listed in the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Swap transactions present risk of loss in excess of the related amounts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Terminated Swaps Payable and Maturities Receivable from Lehman Brothers:

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for bankruptcy protection. At that time, the Funds had outstanding swap agreements with Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. (“LBSF”) as the counter-party, which is an affiliate of Lehman. Additionally, Lehman guaranteed LBSF’s obligations under those agreements. The Funds exercised their right under the swap agreements to terminate the contracts due to the bankruptcy filing. Corresponding liabilities as shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Payable for terminated swaps were recorded on the books and records of the Funds to reflect the amount of unrealized loss embedded within the swap agreements at the termination date, as determined by the Investment Manager. Although the Investment Manager believes that those are the correct amounts, and it has received no information from representatives for the estates of Lehman and LBSF to indicate otherwise, the bankruptcy process for Lehman and LBSF is very complex and no completion date for final settlement of these amounts is known, and it is possible for the bankruptcy court to adjust the final amount. Other expenses may be incurred in connection with the resolution of those liabilities, such as interest and legal fees. Additionally, some of the Funds held Lehman notes, which as of March 31, 2009 had contractually matured. The Funds have set up receivables at the estimated market value of those matured notes. To estimate the market value of those receivables, the Investment Manager obtained independent broker prices on outstanding Lehman debt. The Investment Manager believes those prices to be representative of current market value. It is not now known whether and to what extent any set-offs between those notes and the swap liabilities may be applied by the court. See Subsequent Events Footnote 11.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Market Risk: Because the values of the Funds’ investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Funds. You could lose money on your investment in the Funds or the Funds could underperform other investments.

Liquidity Risk: The Funds’ investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Funds because they may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Funds may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

Interest Rate Risk: The values of the Funds’ investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of the Funds’ investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Each Fund may invest in mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities. The values of some mortgaged-backed or other asset-backed securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage related-securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increase the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

 

  Annual Report March 2009 / 127


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Derivatives Risk: Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Funds’ investment strategy, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Funds will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial.

Credit Risk: The values of any of the Funds’ investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The value of some mortgage-related securities in which the Funds invest also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline.

Certain of the Funds invest a material portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage and asset backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Funds.

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and Asset-backed securities (ABS) are characterized and classified in a variety of different ways. These classifications include a view of the securities’ cash flow structure (pass-through, sequential pay, prepayment-protected, interest-only, principal-only, etc.), the security of the claim on the underlying assets, (senior, mezzanine and subordinated), as well as types of underlying collateral (prime conforming loans, prime non-conforming loans, Alt-A loans, subprime loans, commercial loans, etc.) In many cases, the classification incorporates a degree of subjectivity: a particular loan might be categorized as “prime” by the underwriting standards of one mortgage issuer while another might classify the loan as “subprime.” In addition to other functions, the risk associated with an investment in a mortgage loan must take into account the nature of the collateral, the form and the level of credit enhancement, the vintage of the loan, the geography of the loan, the purpose of the loan (refinance vs. purchase vs. equity take-out), the borrower’s credit quality (e.g. FICO score), and whether the loan is a first trust deed or a second lien.

The mortgage industry lacks a single bright-line as to what separates a subprime loan from an Alt-A loan. Often it is a combination of loan characteristics involving both borrower criteria as well as collateral criteria that determine which category a loan is placed in. However, in order to be both conservative and objective as possible, the Adviser applied the following criteria to the Funds’ residential mortgage and asset-backed holdings in coming up with its categorizations:

Sub Prime - Any asset-backed bond whose collateral was residential mortgages were considered to be subprime, provided that the loans did not belong to the classification of manufactured housing loans.

Alt-A - Any mortgage-backed security whose average borrower FICO score was less than 730 and/or was listed as an Alt-A pool by Bloomberg were considered to be Alt-A bonds.

Counterparty Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their fair value recorded in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

As compensation for advisory services, the Adviser charges the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, and the High Yield Bond Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25%, 0.30%, 0.35%, 0.35%, and 0.50%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser charges the AlphaTrak 500 Fund a basic fee of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The basic fee may be adjusted upward or downward (by up to 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the relevant three month performance period), depending on whether, and to what extent, the investment performance of the AlphaTrak 500 Fund before management fees, for the relevant performance period, exceeds or is exceeded by, the performance of the S&P 500 Index plus an annualized margin of 1.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 100% resulting in $0 total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2009. The Adviser charges the Strategic Income Fund a basic fee of 1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The basic fee may be adjusted upward or downward (by up to 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the relevant twelve month performance period), depending on whether, and to what extent, the investment performance of the Strategic Income Fund, for the relevant performance period, exceeds or is exceeded by, the performance of the Merrill Lynch 3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index plus 2.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 1.03% resulting in $377,779 of total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2009.

The Adviser has agreed in an operating expenses agreement with the Trust to limit each Fund’s expenses as described in the table below. The operating expenses agreement has a one-year term, renewable at the end of each fiscal year. Each Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser, for a period of up to three years, for any such payments to the extent that the Fund’s operating expenses are otherwise below its expense cap (excluding the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund, which shall reimburse the Adviser to the extent that the Fund’s other expenses, are below an agreed-upon cap). The Adviser’s obligation will not be recorded as a liability on the books of the applicable Fund to the extent that the total operating expenses (other expenses with respect to the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund) of the Fund are at or above the expense cap. However, if the total operating expenses (other expenses with respect to the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund) of a Fund fall below the expense cap, the reimbursement to the Adviser (up to the cap) will be accrued by the Fund as a liability if the Adviser seeks to recoup those amounts and the independent trustees have approved that reimbursement. The Adviser may not request or receive reimbursement from a Fund for prior reductions or reimbursements before the payment of a Fund’s operating expenses for the year. Investment advisory fees and related voluntary expense limitations for the year ended March 31, 2009, were as follows:

Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers and directors of the Adviser. Such officers and trustees serve without direct compensation from the Funds. Each of the independent trustees receives an annual retainer of $12,000 and $3,000 for each meeting of the Board attended. The Trust has an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for certain eligible Trustees. The Plan allows Trustees to defer some or all of their annual trustees’ fees otherwise payable by the Trust for a minimum of three years. The fees deferred are posted to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Trust. The various series of the Trust will use the returns on those Funds selected by the Trustee to determine the income, gains and losses to allocate to the account. At the time for commencing distributions from a Trustee’s deferral account, which is no later than when the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board, deferred fees will be paid out in a single sum in cash or a maximum of ten annual installments. The expenses related to the annual retainer, meeting fees, and / or any fluctuation in the selected Funds under the Plan are recorded in Trustees’ fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.

SHARE MARKETING (12b-1) Plan

The Trust has a Share Marketing Plan (or “the Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to Class M shares of the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Strategic Income Fund and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund. The Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on April 1, 2000. The High Yield Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on October 2, 2002. The Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, and the Strategic Income Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on July 2, 2003. Under the Plan, the Trust pays PFPC Distributors, Inc., as the Trust’s distribution coordinator, an annual fee up to 0.25% of each Fund’s aggregate average daily net assets to reimburse expenses in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares of the respective Fund. The Adviser has undertaken to limit the Rule 12b-1 expenses to 0.16% for the Ultra Short Bond Fund, 0.19% for the Low Duration Bond Fund, and 0.21% for the Intermediate Bond Fund and the Total Return Bond Fund, for the year ended March 31, 2009. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is currently not incurring Rule 12b-1 fees.

INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve further claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During April and May, 2009, LBSF filed complaints in the United States Bankruptcy Court – Southern District of New York against Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund. The complaints allege that Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund owe LBSF $46.2 million and $17.3 million plus interest from September 19, 2008, respectively, and other unspecified damages.

As discussed in Note 3, the Funds recorded liabilities relating to terminated swap positions with LBSF and also held notes issued by Lehman some of which had matured by fiscal year-end. As of March 31, 2009, the Total Return Bond Fund recorded a swap liability payable to LBSF of $146.2 million and held, as assets, $46.2 million of par value in Lehman issued notes recorded at its fair market value of $5.4 million as of March 31, 2009. Low Duration Bond Fund recorded a swap liability payable to LBSF of $38.7 million and held $17.3 million of par value in Lehman issued notes recorded at its fair market value of $2.0 million. During April, 2009, the Total Return Bond Fund and the Low Duration Bond Fund paid $100 million and $21.4 million, respectively to LBSF representing the net amount of the swap liabilities and the par value of the notes.

 

  Annual Report March 2009 / 135


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Although the remaining amounts are reflected as liabilities still owed to LBSF, the Funds are currently pursuing the legal right to set-off the liabilities owed by the Funds relating to the LBSF swaps with the amounts owed to the Funds from the Lehman notes. If the Funds prevail with the right to set-off the amounts, the Total Return Bond Fund and the Low Duration Bond Fund could recognize gains due to the realization of the entire par value on the notes. The amounts recognized would be $40.8 million and $15.3 million, respectively, which represent the differences in par value and fair market value at fiscal year-end. Additionally, the other Funds, which are not named in the complaint, could realize similar gains. The amounts are $1.6 million, $1.3 million, $0.6 million and $1.5 million for the AlphaTrak 500 Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, High Yield Bond Fund and Ultra Short Bond Fund, respectively. Management to the Funds also does not believe that interest is due on the amounts claimed and is defending the position with legal action.

The ultimate resolution of these actions by court action or settlement is uncertain. The Funds will incur their share of related legal fees and expenses to defend these actions. If the Funds are unsuccessful in their defense, they could also incur interest expenses as part of the resolution.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of the Metropolitan West Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of the Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”) comprising the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the Metropolitan West Funds as of March 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  (e)(1)

Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee (“Committee”) of the registrant is responsible for pre-approving (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to the registrant and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to Metropolitan West Funds and any affiliate of Metropolitan West Funds that provides services to the registrant (a “Covered Services Provider”) if the independent auditors’ engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairperson of the Committee, and the Chairperson must report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairperson’s pre-approval of such services, his or her decision(s). The Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than Metropolitan West Funds or the registrant’s officers). Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the registrant, Metropolitan West Funds and any Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant to its independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee or the Chairperson prior to the completion of the audit.

N/A

The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

 

  (g)

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $549,550 in 2009 and $553,825 in 2008.

 

  (h)

The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).
