METROPOLITAN WEST FUNDS

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Thank you for your continued investment in the Metropolitan West Funds. We are pleased to provide the following Annual Report for the Funds for the period ended March 31, 2024. The past twelve months have notably included the final interest rate hike of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) current tightening cycle in July, capping the Fed Fund’s rate increase at 525 basis points (bps), a dovish pivot late in the year, and a significant rate sell-off to start 2024 amid better-than-expected growth, price, and employment data that suggested no urgency to the Fed for a cut. This data did, however, help bolster positive investor sentiment that had been building throughout the period, resulting in outperformance of higher risk segments of the market. Against this backdrop, performance across MetWest Funds was generally positive, though behind benchmark results given overweight duration positions and bias towards higher quality issues. AUM (Assets Under Management) across the MetWest Funds complex ended the period at $58 billion. Looking forward, the return outlook should benefit from the higher yield profile of the Funds, the prospect for interest rate cuts (and thus rising price levels for fixed income assets), and the attendant volatility that will likely present opportunities for our teams to apply their hallmark discipline to find value for client assets across the Fund complex.

The March 31, 2024 Annual Report covers the following Metropolitan West Funds:

Economic Review and Market Environment

The rising rate environment that defined the trailing 12-month period was expected to come with adjacent volatility as higher rates weighed on the consumer, businesses, prices, and growth. However, the economic contraction and related typical fallout did not materialize. In fact, growth remained strong, employment robust, and inflation appeared to come under control with the year-over-year U.S. Core Consumer Price Index (ex. food and energy) falling from 5.6% at the start of the period to 3.8% by the end. Showing a commitment to containing price pressures, the Fed continued hiking in May and July, then paused in September, but left FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) member predictions elevated versus current levels. Despite the lack of additional rate hikes for the remainder of the year, yields continued to move higher across the curve, peaking in October 2023 at levels more than 100-160 bps above early-year lows that accompanied the regional banking turmoil. However, almost immediately following the moment on October 19 when the entire U.S. Treasury curve breached 5% for the first time since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), a very sharp rally ensued and lasted through year-end. Yields fell anywhere from 90 to 115 bps in the last two and a half months of 2023, while the December FOMC meeting came with a new “dot plot” that showed no additional hikes for the first time since March 2021, leaving little doubt that the Fed’s tightening cycle was over. Optimism that the Fed was done hiking and that a pivot to easing would happen sooner than later had market participants calling for a March start to rate cuts, but persistently strong data in the first quarter of 2024 caused markets to reassess expectations for the path of Fed policy, with projections of an initial cut moved to June from March and 150 bps of 2024 easing trimmed to 75 bps. The Fed, for its part, maintained its resolve and gave no indication it was inclined to ease prematurely on unsupportive indicators. This shift tempered the rally in rates, with every tenor of the U.S. Treasury curve moving higher, continuing the inversion and delivering a reality check on what was an exuberant end to last year, in terms of hopes for the elusive soft landing and market returns. All together, yields ended the trailing 12-month period 60-70 bps higher across maturities of 2-Years and longer.

 

1 / Annual Report March 2024


Table of Contents

Equity markets seemed unfazed by the potential postponement of a return to an accommodative Fed with the S&P 500 notching a 10%-plus gain for the first quarter of 2024, bringing the total return for the full period to over 30%. Though the bond market bore the brunt of rising rates through October, the 9.3% gain for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index in late 2023 buoyed returns for the period, bringing the trailing 12-month return for the Index to 1.7%. Investment grade corporate bonds were up 4.4%, while yield premiums relative to U.S. Treasury issues declined to a cycle low, driving over 500 bps of positive relative performance. Financial sectors led, driven by solid returns among REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), life insurance companies, brokers, and banks, while tobacco, gaming, and home construction led among industrials. The shorter duration character of high yield corporates, combined with equity-like enthusiasm, brought positive total returns of 11.2%, more than eclipsing the impact of higher rates with +908 bps of outperformance versus duration-matched Treasuries. In the securitized markets, private label (non-agency) commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) outperformed, gaining 6.2%, while non-agency residential MBS backed by legacy (pre-Global Financial Crisis) collateral gained more than 7.5% amid sustained demand and resilient home prices. Agency residential MBS gains were more modest at 1.4% as the sector has been one of the most impacted by rising rates and rate volatility. Finally, asset-backed securities (ABS) managed a 4.3% gain, with the sector benefitting from short durations and strong new-issue sponsorship on attractive yields.

The Economy and Market Ahead

Though the U.S. economy has seemingly defied all expectations throughout the course of this Fed hiking cycle, the impacts of 525 bps of Fed hikes and ongoing inversion of the yield curve cannot be fully discounted, even if they have thus far been held off. Indeed, the well-documented consumer spending of pandemic-era excess savings helped to blunt the initial impact, while 2023’s continuation of the consumer dissaving theme with increased short-term credit utilization, including “buy now, pay later” schemes, helped further propel economic growth from the consumer side. However, credit comes at a cost, and the growing balance on consumer credit cards and other financing options comes at a time where the interest on those balances are at extremely elevated levels. For lenders, this has translated to growing losses on unsecured consumer loans and commensurate tightening of lending standards, which will only serve to further slow the economy once it turns. On the corporate side, businesses are now multiple years into an elevated interest rate regime and have likely exhausted the primary means of protecting margins, including price reductions, hiring freezes, and a furloughing of employees to part-time work, with layoffs the final piece that loosens the labor market and pushes the economy into a recession. In this environment, the yield curve is expected to re-steepen sharply as the Fed steps in to support the economy, shore up markets, and inject liquidity into the system.

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

Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund

M-Class (MWATX)

Against a largely risk-on backdrop, especially in the latter half of the year, the MetWest AlphaTrak 500 Fund –M Class (“Fund”) gained 29.17% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, though this trailed the S&P 500 Index (“Index’) by 71 bps. While the use of S&P 500 Index futures allows the Fund to replicate Index returns, relative underperformance was attributable primarily to the Fund’s short duration fixed income portfolio that collateralizes the futures position. In particular, the positive duration position was the largest headwind given the increase in Treasury yields over the year. However, the allocation to fixed income spread products positively impacted relative returns as improved investor demand across sectors helped drive outperformance relative to U.S. Treasuries for nearly every major component of the market, with the position in securitized products providing the largest positive impact. Investors’ perception of risk associated with securitized products improved over the period alongside growing soft-landing optimism, helping securitized products finish ahead of risk-free assets. Contributions stemmed from the Fund’s ABS exposure, led by AAA-rated CLOs (Collateralized Loan Obligations) and issues backed by auto loans. This improved risk sentiment also benefitted the CMBS sector and resulted in a tailwind to Fund holdings, which were predominantly in high-quality private label deals with strong collateral. In the residential MBS sector, Fund performance benefitted from both legacy and newer issue holdings given steady cash flows and rising price levels over the year, while, away from securitized, corporate credit exposure also drove a positive performance impact. Fund holdings of banking, wireline, healthcare, and pharmaceutical names contributed from an issue selection standpoint, while the focus on the broad financials sector benefitted returns as it was the top-performing major sector among short duration corporates.

 

Annual Report March 2024 / 2


Table of Contents

Duration positioning remains somewhat longer than typical given our view that rates are restrictive and above fair value, especially in a slowing economy where inflation has generally been on a downward trend. Sector positioning currently emphasizes high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, with a focus on agency MBS. Though nominal spreads have come down from the peaks observed last May and October, they remain wide relative to historical averages and other high-quality fixed income products, creating compelling relative value that is further supported by the government guarantee and liquid nature of the sector. Non-agency MBS also offers good yields and solid fundamentals after years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a smaller and more targeted allocation with a focus on high-quality collateral and sponsors, while ABS exposure emphasizes AAA-rated CLOs and automobile collateral. Turning to corporate credit, current market valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of spreads compressing meaningfully from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on market strength to reduce exposure and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility.

Metropolitan West Corporate Bond Fund

M-Class (MWCSX), I-Class (MWCBX)

The MetWest Corporate Bond Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 3.52% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, though this trailed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index (“Index”) by 90 bps. Relative underperformance stemmed largely from the Fund’s duration position, which remained longer than the Index throughout the year while extending in a disciplined fashion alongside the rise in rates. Also weighing on relative returns was the underweight to corporate credit, which was expressed largely via an underweight to industrials, including energy, which was among the strongest performers for the period. The strong market tone and improved investor demand for corporate credit did, however, provide opportunity to trim exposure at favorable levels and shift to a more defensive posture, while select industries like banking remained a targeted overweight throughout the year. The focus on the broader financial sector helped to partially offset the drag from being underweight corporate exposure as it was the best-performing major sector, while favorable issue selection further supported performance, led by banking, midstream energy, and technology names. Finally, the very modest position in municipals and non-agency CMBS interest-only (IO) bonds contributed to performance as price levels on municipals improved and IOs benefitted from steady cash flows.

Given expectations for a normalization in both the level and term structure of interest rates, duration positioning remained longer than the Index, finishing the quarter approximately 0.7 years long with an emphasis on front-end yields. Turning to sector positioning, corporate credit represents an underweight given current market valuations and yield spread levels that, in our view, are overly optimistic. Such tight spreads also present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of further meaningful compression from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on this market strength to reduce exposure and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility. Finally, very small positions in interest-only (IO) CMBS bonds and agency MBS CMOs (Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) with stable duration profiles are maintained, while a modest position in municipal debt is also held.

Metropolitan West Flexible Income Fund

M-Class (MWFSX), I-Class (MWFEX)

The MetWest Flexible Income Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 5.77% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Index”) gained 1.70%. Outperformance for the period was due in part to the Fund’s shorter-than-Index duration position as Treasury yields marched higher across the curve, with the 10-Year touching 5% in the third quarter. Also significant to outperformance was the off-Index allocation to securitized sectors. Agency MBS was a headwind in the first half of the period given the historically cheap (and cheapening) levels but bounced back in the second half with strong returns in 4Q23 and March 2024. Non-agency MBS generally performed well over the period given improved investor optimism regarding the future trajectory of home prices and increased investor demand in the space. Additionally, their largely floating rate structures and minimal interest rate duration profiles have benefitted performance in the rising rate environment. Similarly, the Fund’s CLO position contributed for the period as their floating rate nature mitigated the impact of rising rates while falling yield premiums helped propel the sector to outperformance relative to duration-matched Treasuries. Finally, private label CMBS performance was also strong, while additional gains came from interest-only CMBS bonds which continued to benefit from strong cash flows. Turning to corporate credit, the rally over the period prompted disciplined trimming of the Fund’s position, with strong valuations across sectors providing opportunities to de-risk and crystalize gains on holdings that had moved above fair value. Industrials represented an underweight throughout the period, weighing on relative returns as the sector outpaced Treasuries by nearly 280 bps, though issue selection contributed, particularly consumer cyclicals and consumer non-cyclicals. The overweight to financials was trimmed late in the period, but the position contributed overall. Additionally, with European corporate markets outperforming robust U.S. corporate markets in the latter part of the period, the small allocation to Euro-denominated bonds contributed.

Duration positioning ended the quarter at approximately 3.8 years, with a continued emphasis on front-end yields given expectations for a reversal in Fed policy. Sector positioning emphasizes high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, particularly residential MBS. Non-agency MBS exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals given years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Agency MBS also represents attractive relative value and represents a sizable position but remains slightly underweight versus the Index. Though nominal spreads for the sector have tightened from the wide levels observed in 2023, they remain cheap relative to both historical standards and other high-quality segments of the market, providing yield pickup without undertaking credit risk given the government guarantee. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a small and targeted allocation, focused on deals backed by trophy collateral and/or strong, experienced sponsors that can withstand any prospective volatility in the sector as it undergoes what is likely a slow-moving correction, while a small position in interest-only bonds is maintained given attractive upside potential. ABS positions similarly reflect targeted allocations given the challenges weaker structures or those backed by unsecured collateral are likely to face in a slowing economy, with CLOs comprising the bulk of the exposure, while smaller positions are maintained in a variety of non-traditional collateral types such as student loans, single family rentals, and shipping containers. Turning to corporate credit, current market valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of spreads compressing meaningfully from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on market strength to reduce exposure and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility.

Metropolitan West Floating Rate Income Fund

M-Class (MWFRX), I-Class (MWFLX), Plan-Class (MWFPX)

Against a backdrop of higher rates and increased interest income, both the MetWest Floating Rate Income Fund – I Class (“Fund”) and Morningstar LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan Index (“Index”) posted positive total returns for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, though the Fund’s return of 11.58% (net of fees) trailed the Index by 89 bps. Consistent with other segments of markets throughout the period in which riskier assets outperformed, the lowest-rated cohort of the loan universe led performance for the year, with CCC-rated loans gaining nearly 19%. As such, the Fund’s underweight to this cohort weighed on relative returns, while an increased underweight to B-rated loans also produced a drag as they similarly outperformed the broader loan Index, returning over 13%. From an allocation standpoint, underweights to top-performing software, services, consumer durables, and apparel also held back relative returns, though overweights to healthcare and transportation resulted in modestly positive effects. The largest contributions to Fund performance and relative returns, however, was favorable issue selection among loans in the communications, materials, and capital goods industries.

Though challenges certainly loom for borrowers and sponsors in this floating rate segment of the credit markets, the move higher in Treasury yields over the course of the Fed hiking cycle affords investors healthy current yields. After years of “easy money” in the form of low interest rates and covenant-lite loans, the current environment amplifies risks, yes, but is also ripe for disciplined active management. The team continues to emphasize bottom-up, fundamental credit research with the goal of earning compelling risk-adjusted returns, while seeking to avoid defaults and those borrowers with insufficient collateral or residual enterprise values in the event loan repayments stop. In addition, active management looks to capitalize on the value proposition brought forth by ratings-related dislocations in the market, most notably among otherwise-performing, discounted CCC loans that CLOs offload to stay within indenture exposure limits. While this dynamic is set to continue over the coming quarters given the propensity of ratings agencies to issue more downgrades than upgrades, the Fund still maintains an overall bias towards higher-quality loans while the prospective effects of an economy seemingly at an inflection point continue to unfold. Current exposure is focused on industries that traditionally withstand volatility and are less tied to cyclical market patterns, including communications and non-cyclicals (healthcare, pharmaceuticals), with an added focus on borrowers with strong cash flow positions and interest coverage ratios. Meanwhile, higher beta industries or those typically associated with consumer discretionary spending are underweights.

Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund

M-Class (MWHYX), I-Class (MWHIX)

The MetWest High Yield Bond Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 9.03% (net of fees) over the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2024, but trailed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (“Index”) by approximately 213 bps. Returns were strong across high yield credit sectors, with financials leading with excess returns of 1,169 bps versus duration-matched Treasuries, while industrials posted excess returns of 890 bps and utilities followed with 509 bps. As credit spreads tightened over the period, positions were trimmed across industrials and financials. Early in the period the overweight in industrials turned into an underweight that was extended throughout subsequent quarters and resulted in a sizable drag as the sector performed well. While trimming among financials reduced the overweight, relative positioning remained largely intact – overweight banks and insurance, underweight finance companies. This contributed to relative returns, particularly the overweight in banks and insurance, though the underweight to finance companies detracted. Utilities remained underweight relative to index positions, resulting in a small drag. Turning to issue selection, the higher quality emphasis across holdings in the Fund, particularly in the financial space, weighed on relative performance as lower-quality assets outperformed amid strong demand for risk assets and a relatively shorter duration profile vis-à-vis investment grade credit. Fund holdings lagged index holdings, especially among brokers, insurance, consumer cyclicals, and non-cyclicals. Finally, the allocation to bank loans generally benefitted relative returns as loans outperformed high yield over the past year in all but the third quarter of 2023.

The ongoing risk-on sentiment and resultant compression of credit spreads across high yield corporates saw the average OAS (option-adjusted spread) move below 300 bps in March, indicating extremely rich valuations and low margin for error across the high yield market in aggregate. These valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of further meaningful compression from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund has capitalized on market strength to opportunistically trim exposures, with remaining positions emphasizing higher-quality credits and defensive sectors like communications and non-cyclicals (especially healthcare and food & beverage), while avoiding cyclicals and sectors more closely tied to consumer spending and cyclical volatility. Financials represent a small overweight with an emphasis on insurance credits (notably healthcare given attractive long-term fundamentals) and large money center banks in the U.S. Finally, an allocation to high-quality leveraged loans is maintained as their more senior position in the capital structure relative to bonds provides downside protection, and their floating rate nature offers attractive income potential, though issue selection is particularly important. Looking forward, the potential for elevated volatility presents opportunities to add to the corporate basis at more compelling valuations, likely in the latter half of 2024, with the Fund well positioned to deploy capital given its enhanced liquidity profile and up-in-quality bias.

Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund

M-Class (MWIMX), I-Class (MWIIX)

For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, the MetWest Intermediate Bond Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 2.12% (net of fees), though this trailed the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index (“Index”) by 57 bps. Relative underperformance stemmed primarily from the Fund’s duration position, which remained longer than the Index throughout the year. Additionally, the Fund benefitted early in the period from an overweight position in corporate credit versus the Index as yield premiums fell, but the continued rally throughout the year prompted disciplined trimming of the Fund’s position, leading to a growing underweight that ultimately weighed on returns for the full-year period. However, this was more than offset by meaningful contributions from issue selection, particularly among banks, consumer non-cyclicals, communications, and REITs, while Euro-denominated issues added modestly later in the period as European corporate markets outpaced robust U.S. corporate markets. Meanwhile, the off-Index allocation to securitized products was a positive, led by residential MBS. Non-agency MBS generally performed well throughout the year as the sector benefitted from robust housing credit fundamentals and increased investor demand across the space, with both legacy (pre-GFC) and newer issued securities contributing, while the agency MBS exposure was a tailwind, driven largely by the strong performance over the fourth quarter of 2023. Finally, ABS and CMBS issues in the Fund performed well given rising prices across both sectors on sustained investor demand and falling yield premiums.

Given expectations for a steeper curve, duration positioning remains overweight relative to the Index, finishing the quarter approximately 0.7 years long with an emphasis on front-end yields. In terms of sector positioning, corporate credit represents an underweight given current market valuations and yield spread levels that, in our view, are overly optimistic. Such tight spreads also present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of further meaningful compression from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on this market strength to reduce exposure and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility. Offsetting the underweight to corporate credit are off-Index positions in high-quality securitized products offering risk-adjusted yields, with agency MBS the largest securitized exposure. Though nominal spreads for the sector have tightened from the wide levels observed in 2023, they remain cheap relative to both historical standards and other high-quality segments of the market, providing yield pickup without undertaking credit risk given the government guarantee. Non-agency MBS also exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals given years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a small and targeted allocation, focused on deals backed by trophy collateral and/or strong, experienced sponsors that

can withstand any prospective volatility in the sector as it undergoes what is likely a slow-moving correction. ABS positions similarly reflect targeted allocations given the challenges weaker structures or those backed by unsecured collateral are likely to face in a slowing economy, with FFELP student loans and senior CLO tranches comprising the bulk of the exposure.

Metropolitan West Investment Grade Credit Fund

M-Class (MWISX), I-Class (MWIGX)

The MetWest Investment Grade Credit Fund –I Class (“Fund”) gained 4.23% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024, while the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index (“Index”) gained 4.56%. Underperformance for the period was partially due to the Fund’s duration position, which remained longer than the Index throughout the year after moving to an overweight position in 2022. The rally in corporate credit over the period prompted disciplined trimming of the Fund’s position, particularly among industrial and financial credit. The underweight to industrial credit was the biggest drag on relative returns for the period as the sector outpaced Treasuries by nearly 280 bps. However, issue selection contributed with the emphasis on communications boosting returns. Financials, meanwhile, had little impact over the period, as favorable issue selection was offset by a drag from the underweight position that resulted after trimming in the latter half of the period. Finally, the overweight to taxable municipal bonds benefitted returns as the sector finished ahead of similar duration Treasuries by nearly 530 bps for the period, while emerging market bonds held in the Fund modestly outpaced those in the Index. Turning to securitized sectors, the off-index allocation to agency MBS was a headwind in the first half of the period given the historically cheap (and cheapening) levels but bounced back in the second half with strong returns in 4Q23 and March 2024. Non-agency MBS generally performed well over the period given improved investor optimism regarding the future trajectory of home prices and increased investor demand in the space. Additionally, their largely floating rate structures and minimal interest rate duration profiles have benefitted performance in the rising rate environment. Similarly, the Fund’s CLO position contributed for the period as their floating rate nature mitigated the impact of rising rates while falling yield premiums helped propel the sector to outperformance relative to duration-matched Treasuries. Finally, private label CMBS performance was also strong, while additional gains came from interest-only CMBS bonds which continued to benefit from strong cash flows.

Given expectations for a steeper curve, duration positioning remains overweight relative to the Index, finishing the quarter approximately 0.8 years long with an emphasis on front-end yields. Turning to sector positioning, current corporate credit market valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of spreads compressing meaningfully from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund remained underweight corporate credit, with allocations emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and select financials, including large money center banks as well as insurance and REIT credits with attractive long-term fundamentals, while largely avoiding cyclicals and sectors more closely tied with consumer discretionary spending. The underweight to corporate credit is supplemented by an overweight to municipal debt and high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, where agency MBS represents a sizable position. Though nominal spreads for the sector have tightened from the wide levels observed in 2023, they remain cheap relative to both historical standards and other high-quality segments of the market, providing yield pickup without undertaking credit risk given the government guarantee. Non-agency MBS also exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals given years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a small and targeted allocation, focused on high-quality senior non-agency CMBS and interest-only bonds. ABS positions similarly reflect targeted allocations given the challenges weaker structures or those backed by unsecured collateral are likely to face in a slowing economy, with FFELP student loans and senior CLO tranches comprising the bulk of the exposure.

Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund

M-Class (MWLDX), I-Class (MWLIX), Administrative-Class (MWLNX)

For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2024, the MetWest Low Duration Bond Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 4.03% (net of fees), outperforming the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index (“Index”) by 106 bps. Relative outperformance was driven by the Fund’s exposure to fixed income credit and yield spread sectors, nearly all of which finished ahead of similar duration Treasuries given the risk-on macro backdrop. The position among securitized products created the largest benefit, led by residential MBS. Non-agency MBS generally performed well throughout the year as the sector benefitted from robust housing credit fundamentals and increased investor demand across the space, with both legacy (pre-GFC) and newer issued securities contributing, while the agency MBS exposure was a tailwind, driven largely by the strong performance over the fourth quarter of 2023. Meanwhile, CMBS issues in the Fund performed well as prices improved later in the period alongside increased investor optimism, while ABS holdings similarly contributed given sustained demand and robust new issue sponsorship by money managers. Turning to the position among short corporates, outright exposure maintained throughout the year rewarded returns, while the ongoing improvement in pricing and valuations across industries provided opportunity to trim exposure and capitalize on holdings that had moved above fair value. From an issue selection standpoint, contributions were led by banks, insurance, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and select Euro-denominated bonds as European corporate markets outperformed robust U.S. corporate markets late in the period.

Given expectations for a steeper curve, duration positioning remains overweight relative to the Index, finishing the quarter approximately 0.9 years long with an emphasis on front-end yields. Turning to sector positioning, exposures currently emphasize high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, where agency MBS represents the largest outright position. Though nominal spreads for the sector have tightened from the wide levels observed in 2023, they remain cheap relative to both historical standards and other high-quality segments of the market, providing yield pickup without undertaking credit risk given the government guarantee. Non-agency MBS also exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals given years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses.

Metropolitan West Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund

M-Class (MWORX), I-Class (MWOPX)

The MetWest Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 9.81% (net of fees) over the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2024, but trailed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index (“Index”) by approximately 135 bps. A nearly 30% rise in equity markets benefitted the allocation to equities in the Fund, though the underweight to high yield credit in favor of investment grade positions and an off-index allocation to securitized credit resulted in a sizable drag as high yield led across fixed income sectors due to its relatively shorter duration profile and equity-like enthusiasm. The underweight to below investment grade industrials, particularly consumer cyclicals, was the biggest drag on performance, while exposure to utilities also remained underweight relative to index positions, resulting in a small drag. Financials led in both high yield and investment grade credit markets, rewarding the overweight (for most of the period) to the sector, though the underweight to finance companies detracted. As credit spreads compressed and valuations improved, positions were trimmed opportunistically, taking the overall allocation to financials to a relative underweight versus the Index late in the period. Issue selection across sectors further weighed on returns given the higher quality emphasis, with positions in brokerage, insurance, cyclical, non-cyclical, technology, and energy sectors trailing those in the benchmark. Finally, the small allocation to bank loans generally benefitted relative returns as loans outperformed high yield over the past year in all but the third quarter of 2023, and the position was trimmed late in the period.

The ongoing risk-on sentiment and resultant compression of credit spreads across high yield corporates saw the average OAS move below 300 bps in March, indicating extremely rich valuations and low margin for error across the high yield market in aggregate. These valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of further meaningful compression from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund has capitalized on market strength to opportunistically trim exposures, with remaining positions emphasizing higher-quality credits and defensive sectors like communications and non-cyclicals (especially healthcare and food & beverage), while avoiding cyclicals and sectors more closely tied to consumer spending and cyclical volatility. Financials represent a small underweight with an emphasis on insurance credits (notably healthcare given attractive long-term fundamentals) and large money center banks in the U.S. An allocation to high-quality leveraged loans is also maintained as their more senior position in the capital structure relative to bonds provides downside protection, and their floating rate nature offers attractive income potential, though issue selection is particularly important. Additionally, the small equity position will be maintained given upside potential. Looking forward, the potential for elevated volatility presents opportunities to add to the corporate basis at more compelling valuations, likely in the latter half of 2024, with the Fund well positioned to deploy capital given its enhanced liquidity profile and up-in-quality bias. Outside of corporate credit, the team is generally constructive on securitized credit, particularly non-agency MBS, which exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals given years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Finally, CMBS represents a small and targeted allocation, focused on deals backed by trophy collateral and/or strong, experienced sponsors that can withstand any prospective volatility as the sector undergoes what is likely a slow-moving correction, as well as select IO issues where there is attractive upside potential.

Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund

M-Class (MWSTX), I-Class (MWSIX)

The MetWest Strategic Income Fund – I Class (“Fund”) returned 7.10% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, finishing behind the ICE BofA U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index + 200 bps (“Index”) by 24 bps. Given the increase in yields across the U.S. Treasury curve during the period, the Fund’s positive duration position was the largest detractor from relative performance. Despite the higher rate environment, investor sentiment remained positive and decidedly risk-on, especially later in the year, helping lead fixed income credit and yield spread sectors to outperformance relative to risk-free Treasuries. As

such, the Fund’s broad-based fixed income exposure across sectors benefitted relative returns, driven by allocations to securitized products. Non-agency MBS issues contributed the most as continued investor demand and strong fundamentals led to price appreciation, with legacy (pre-GFC) issues and credit risk transfer (CRT) deals in the Fund providing a boost. CMBS and ABS exposure was also additive, with each sector similarly benefitting from increased demand and broader risk-on macro backdrop, while agency MBS holdings had little impact for the full-year period. Turning to the position among corporates, outright exposure maintained throughout the year rewarded returns, while the ongoing improvement in pricing and valuations across industries provided opportunity to trim exposure and capitalize on holdings that had moved above fair value. From an issue selection standpoint, contributions were led by banks, communications, midstream energy, aerospace, and select Euro-denominated bonds as European corporate markets outperformed robust U.S. corporate markets late in the period.

Duration positioning remains longer than typical with an emphasis on the front end of the yield curve given our view that rates are restrictive and above fair value, especially in a slowing economy where inflation has generally been on a downward trend. Sector positioning currently emphasizes high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, where non-agency MBS represents the largest position given good yields and solid fundamentals after years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current on repayments and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Agency MBS also represents a sizable position, and while nominal spreads in the sector have come down from the peaks observed last May and October, they remain wide relative to historical averages and other high-quality fixed income products, creating compelling relative value that is further supported by the government guarantee and liquid nature of the sector. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a smaller and more targeted allocation, focused on select interest-only bonds and deals backed by trophy collateral and/or strong, experienced sponsors that can withstand any prospective volatility in the sector as it undergoes what is likely a slow-moving correction. ABS exposure similarly reflects targeted allocations given the challenges weaker structures or those backed by unsecured collateral are likely to face in a slowing economy, with single family rentals, AAA- and mezzanine CLOs, and FFELP student loans comprising the bulk of the exposure. Finally, market valuations throughout corporate credit present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of spreads compressing meaningfully from current levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on market strength to reduce exposure across investment grade and high yield corporates and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility.

Metropolitan West Sustainable Securitized Fund

M-Class (MWERX), I-Class (MWESX)

The MetWest Sustainable Securitized Fund – I Class (“Fund”) delivered a total return of 4.67% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) Index (“Index”) by 328 bps. Given the increase in yields across the U.S. Treasury curve during the period, the Fund’s positive duration position detracted from relative performance. Despite the higher rate environment, investor sentiment remained positive and decidedly risk-on, especially later in the year, helping lead fixed income credit and yield spread sectors to outperformance relative to risk-free Treasuries. Agency MBS outperformed Treasuries by 100 basis points over the period, despite lagging in the first half of the period given the historically cheap (and cheapening) levels. As a result, the Fund’s structural underweight to this sector reflected a sizable drag on relative returns. However, this drag was sizably offset by the Fund’s exposure to securitized credit, with holdings across non-agency residential and commercial mortgages, and various ABS sectors. Non-agency CMBS holdings, which are concentrated in single asset, single borrower (SASB) properties with sustainable characteristics, represented the largest contributor to performance. Non-agency MBS also continued to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns given the strength of underlying collateral, underpinned by home price appreciation over recent years that has lowered loan-to-value ratios, increased homeowner equity, and effectively de-leveraged many non-agency MBS deals. Fund holdings of re-securitized legacy collateral provided a sizable boost to the Funds outperformance. Elsewhere in securitized, ABS performed well over the period adding to relative returns.

 

Annual Report March 2024 / 10


Table of Contents

Duration positioning remains longer than typical with an emphasis on the front end of the yield curve given our view that rates are restrictive and above fair value, especially in a slowing economy where inflation has generally been on a downward trend. Residential MBS represents the largest exposure, reflected in a market value allocation to agency MBS. This sector also presents the best opportunities to achieve important allocations to affordable housing. Meanwhile, non-agency MBS remains among the best values in fixed income with good yields and solid fundamentals, within select non-agency exposures that are aligned to social objectives, such as the legacy re-performing loans and manufactured housing. Finally, non-agency CMBS is a sector with both prospective volatility and opportunity, where many of the most compelling opportunities are trophy properties that have green attributes. These properties command rental premiums and have seen relatively ‘sticky’ tenant demand. Market liquidity and demand remain plentiful for these trophy properties, while deals backed by weaker collateral are likely to see principal losses and falling prices on continued materialization of commercial market stress, especially in more subordinated tranches.

Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund

M-Class (MWTRX), I-Class (MWTIX), I-2-Class (MWTTX), Administrative-Class (MWTNX),

Plan-Class (MWTSX)

The MetWest Total Return Bond Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 1.45% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2024, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Index”) gained 1.70%. Underperformance for the period was largely due to the Fund’s duration position, which remained longer than the Index throughout the year after moving to an overweight position in 2022. Additionally, the Fund benefitted early in the period from an overweight position in corporate credit versus the Index as yield premiums fell, but the continued rally throughout the year prompted disciplined trimming of the Fund’s position, leading to a growing underweight that weighed on returns. This was more than offset by meaningful contributions from issue selection, particularly among communications, consumer non-cyclicals, consumer cyclicals, and REITs, while Euro-denominated issues added modestly later in the period as European corporate markets outpaced robust U.S. corporate markets. Turning to securitized sectors, the overweight to agency MBS was a headwind in the first half of the period given the historically cheap (and cheapening) levels but bounced back in the second half with strong returns in 4Q23 and March 2024. During this period, overweight positioning was extended in a disciplined fashion. Away from agency-backed collateral, non-agency MBS generally performed well over the period given improved investor optimism regarding the future trajectory of home prices and increased investor demand in the space. Additionally, their largely floating rate structures and minimal interest rate duration profiles have benefitted performance in the rising rate environment. Similarly, the Fund’s CLO position contributed for the period as their floating rate nature mitigated the impact of rising rates while falling yield premiums helped propel the sector to outperformance relative to duration-matched Treasuries.

Given expectations for a steeper curve, duration positioning remains overweight relative to the Index, finishing the quarter approximately 0.8 years long with an emphasis on front-end yields. Turning to sector positioning, exposures currently emphasize high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, where agency MBS represents the largest outright and relative position. Though nominal spreads for the sector have tightened from the wide levels observed in 2023, they remain cheap relative to both historical standards and other high-quality segments of the market, providing yield pickup without undertaking credit risk given the government guarantee. Non-agency MBS also exhibits good yields and solid fundamentals given years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a small and targeted allocation, focused on deals backed by trophy collateral and/or strong, experienced sponsors that can withstand any prospective volatility in the sector as it undergoes what is likely a slow-moving correction. ABS positions similarly reflect targeted allocations given the challenges weaker structures or those backed by unsecured collateral are likely to face in a slowing economy, with FFELP student loans and senior CLO tranches comprising the bulk of the exposure. Turning to corporate credit,

current market valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of spreads compressing meaningfully from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on market strength to reduce exposure and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility.

Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund

M-Class (MWUSX), I-Class (MWUIX)

For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2024, the MetWest Ultra Short Bond Fund –I Class (“Fund”) gained 4.31% (net of fees) to finish in line with the ICE BofA 1-Year U.S. Treasury Index (“Index”). With improved investor optimism over the period and accompanying risk-on sentiment resulting in outperformance relative to U.S. Treasuries for nearly every fixed income sector, the Fund’s broad-based exposures contributed favorably to relative returns. Securitized products provided the largest benefit, led by short duration non-agency MBS issues that provided steady cash flows and experienced an increase in prices over the year on heightened demand. Agency MBS holdings also contributed given a sizeable position in floating rate CMOs, which helped to offset some of the negative impacts arising from rate volatility. Similarly, ABS exposure benefitted Fund performance, led by CLOs and single-family rental collateral, while non-agency CMBS issues contributed given strong performance amid the broader risk-on backdrop. Meanwhile, the allocation to short investment grade corporates was beneficial as they bested short-duration Treasuries, with favorable issue selection among banking, REITs and packaging names providing an additional boost. Finally, the Fund’s duration position, which was longer than the Index throughout the period, weighed on relative performance given the increase in Treasury yields over the year.

Duration positioning remains longer than the Index with a focus on front-end yields given our view that rates are restrictive and above fair value, especially in a slowing economy where inflation has generally been on a downward trend. Sector positioning currently emphasizes high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, with a focus on agency MBS. Though nominal spreads have come down from the peaks observed last May and October, they remain wide relative to historical averages and other high-quality fixed income products, creating compelling relative value that is further supported by the government guarantee and liquid nature of the sector. Non-agency MBS also offers good yields and solid fundamentals after years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses. Meanwhile, CMBS represents a smaller and more targeted allocation with a focus on high-quality collateral and sponsors, while ABS exposure emphasizes AAA-rated CLOs and automobile collateral. Turning to corporate credit, current market valuations present an asymmetrical risk and reward profile; the likelihood of spreads compressing meaningfully from these levels is small, while the risk of significant widening as the sector reprices to a potentially slowing economy is high. As such, the Fund capitalized on market strength to reduce exposure and migrate higher up the quality spectrum, with remaining positions emphasizing defensive sectors like communications, non-cyclicals, and those not typically prone to cyclical volatility.

Metropolitan West Unconstrained Bond Fund

M-Class (MWCRX), I-Class (MWCIX), Plan-Class (MWCPX)

The MetWest Unconstrained Bond Fund – I Class (“Fund”) gained 5.87% (net of fees) for the 12-month period ended March 31,

2024, while the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bills: 1-3 Months Index (“Index”) gained 5.37%. Despite Treasury yields moving higher from the low levels observed following last March’s U.S. banking sector struggles, fixed income spread products posted sizeable excess returns versus duration-matched Treasuries given growing optimism for a soft-landing and persistent risk-on sentiment that helped drive yield spreads tighter. As such, the Fund’s exposure to spread products, including corporate and securitized credit, benefitted relative returns and drove outperformance versus the Index. Broad-based corporate credit provided the largest contribution given a tightening of credit spreads by 48 and 156 bps for investment grade and high yield corporates, respectively, with favorable issue selection among banking, cable satellite, and media names also contributing. Meanwhile, the improved macro tone and risk-on backdrop drove spread compression across securitized products as well, leading to sizeable contributions to Fund performance from the non-agency MBS, ABS and CMBS sectors, with more subordinated tranches providing the largest benefit given outsized spread compression. Non-agency MBS generally performed well over the period given improved investor optimism regarding the future trajectory of home prices and increased investor demand in the space. Additionally, their largely floating rate structures and minimal interest rate duration profiles have benefitted performance in the rising rate environment. Similarly, the Fund’s CLO position contributed for the period as their floating rate nature mitigated the impact of rising rates while falling yield premiums helped propel the sector to outperformance relative to duration-matched Treasuries. Higher rates, however, did weigh on Fund performance given the positive duration position, which was extended modestly throughout the period to 3.2 years.

Duration positioning ended the quarter at approximately 3.2 years given our view that rates are restrictive and above fair value, especially in a slowing economy where inflation has generally been on a downward trend. Sector positioning currently emphasizes high-quality securitized product opportunities offering attractive risk-adjusted yields, where non-agency MBS represents the largest outright position given good yields and solid fundamentals after years of amortization and housing price appreciation that has built up substantial equity in the underlying properties, incentivizing homeowners to remain current and insulating bondholders from potential losses.

A Disciplined Value Philosophy

Difficult economic and market conditions, no doubt, test the patience of investors and the discipline of asset managers. The upside, if we can cite one, is that cheaper prices create opportunities for better entry points, and a tendency for excessive risk aversion, that is, panic selling, which amplifies mispricing. This remains especially true in fixed income, as the size, structure and segmentation of the market continue to be a place where active strategy and disciplined implementation can generate outperformance and moderate risk under a value-oriented approach. The Funds and its management are unwavering in that commitment and have been for more than 25 years.

Thank you again for your investment in the Metropolitan West Funds. Our entire team looks forward to continuing to assist you in the fulfillment of your financial goals.

Sincerely,

Megan McClellan

President and Principal Executive Officer of the Trust

Metropolitan West Funds

Portfolio composition is subject to change. The current and future portfolio holdings of the Funds are subject to investment risk.

Bond Funds have similar interest rate, issue, and credit risks as those risks 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. Additional risks to the Funds include derivatives risk, foreign securities risk, asset-backed securities investment risk, and prepayment risk. The High Yield Bond Fund purchases more speculative bonds, which are subject to greater risks than higher rated bonds, including leverage risk. The Strategic Income Fund engages in sophisticated investment strategies, and is subject to short sales and leverage risks. The AlphaTrak 500 trades futures and derivative contracts. These Funds may not be suitable for all investors.

Derivatives risk refers to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Foreign securities risk refers to the risk that the value of a Fund’s investments in foreign securities may decline based on changes to currency values, or political and economic environments in the countries where the Fund invests. Asset-backed securities investment risk refers to the risk that the impairment of the value of the collateral underlying the security in which a Fund invests, such as the non-payment of loans, will result in a reduction in the value of the security. Prepayment risk refers to the possibility that falling interest rates may cause the underlying loans to pay off at a faster than expected rate. This tends to reduce returns since the funds prepaid will have to be reinvested at the then lower prevailing rates. Short sale risk refers to the limited ability of a Fund to sell a debt or equity security short (without owning it) and to borrow the same security from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. If the value of the short sale increases, a Fund would lose money because it will need to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a higher price. Leverage risk refers to the limited ability of a Fund to borrow from broker-dealers or other institutions to leverage a transaction, provided that the borrowing is fully-collateralized. The Fund’s assets may change in value while the borrowing is outstanding, which could create interest expenses that can exceed the income from the assets retained.

The views and forecasts expressed here are as of May 2024, 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.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024

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 (SEC) 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 expenses 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

 

297 / Annual Report March 2024


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

Net Asset Value:

The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of each class of a Fund is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of the class of the Fund on each business day as of 4 p.m. ET.

Security Valuation:

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” with respect to the fair valuation of the Funds’ portfolio securities, subject to oversight by and periodic reporting to the Board. Fixed income securities for which market quotations are readily available were valued during the period at prices as provided by independent pricing vendors or broker quotes. The Funds received pricing information from independent pricing vendors selected and overseen by the valuation designee. 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 vendors’ 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 composed of a relevant security (e.g., 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. The benchmark pricing system is continuously reviewed by the Adviser and implemented according to the pricing policy reviewed by the Board. S&P 500 Index 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 on which those securities are 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 ask 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. Equity options are valued at the average of the bid and ask prices. Securities and other assets that could not be valued as described above were valued at their fair value as determined by the Adviser in accordance with procedures approved by and under the general oversight of the Board.

Investments in registered open-ended investment companies, including those classified as money market funds, are valued based upon the reported NAV of such investments.

Fair value methods used by the Adviser included, but were not limited to, obtaining market quotations from secondary pricing services, broker-dealers, or widely used quotation systems. General factors considered in determining the fair value of securities include fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the securities, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are purchased and sold. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used. In the event that the security or asset could not be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods used by the Adviser, the value of the security or asset was determined in good faith by the Adviser, as the valuation designee. When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Adviser believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of its NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Adviser would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

Foreign Currency Translation:

The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) foreign currency denominated securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are reclassified to ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Foreign Taxes:

The Funds may be subject to withholding taxes on income and capital gains imposed by certain countries in which they invest. The withholding tax on income is netted against the income accrued or received. Any reclaimable taxes are recorded as income. The withholding tax on realized or unrealized gain is recorded as a liability.

Securities and Derivatives Transactions and Investment Income:

Securities transactions are accounted for no later than the first NAV calculation on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio securities transactions are reported on the 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, including original issue discount, and premiums on securities are amortized using the effective interest method.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds (except the AlphaTrak 500 Fund) expect to declare dividends daily and pay them monthly to shareholders. TheAlphaTrak 500 Fund expects to declare and pay dividends 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.

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 (“GAAP”). 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.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three and four fiscal years, respectively.

As of and during the year ended March 31, 2024, 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 Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Trust has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash which can be in interest-bearing accounts. The Funds also maintain cash in bank account deposits that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds have not experienced any losses in any such accounts.

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.

Fair Value Measurements:

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

* Level 1 -   unadjusted quoted 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 investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

 

299 / Annual Report March 2024

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3.

In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each debt tranche of the issuer, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche including, but not limited to, the prepayment speed assumptions and attributes of the collateral. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3.

Bank loans. The fair value of bank loans is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Bank loans are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable; they would then be categorized as Level 3.

Corporate bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, or credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Corporate bonds are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where prices, spreads, or any of the other aforementioned key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized as Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Credit default swaps. Credit default swaps are fair valued using pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, default probabilities from index-specific credit spread curves, recovery rates, and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of credit default swaps would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Equity securities. Securities such as common stocks and warrants are generally valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied and they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Restricted securities issued by publicly held companies are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities and may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3. Restricted securities held in non-public entities are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable.

Foreign currency contracts. The fair value of foreign currency contracts is derived from indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or by pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of financial derivatives can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as indices and exchange rates. Foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are traded on commodity exchanges and are fair valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange, and to the extent valuation adjustments are not applied to futures contracts, they are categorized as Level 1. To the extent that valuation adjustments are observable and timely, the fair values of futures contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using pricing models that are based on real-time intraday snap shots of relevant interest rate curves that are built using the most actively traded securities for a given maturity. The pricing models also incorporate cash and money market rates. In addition, market data pertaining to interest rate swaps are monitored regularly to ensure that interest rates are properly depicting the current market rate. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of interest rate swaps would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Money market funds. Money market funds are open-ended mutual funds that invest in short-term debt securities. To the extent that these funds are valued based upon the reported NAV, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Municipal bonds. Municipal bonds are fair valued based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-wanted lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of municipal bonds would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Options and Swaptions contracts. Exchange-listed options contracts are traded on securities exchanges and are fair valued based on quoted prices from the applicable exchange, and to the extent valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1. If valuation adjustments are applied and such adjustments are observable and timely, the fair values of exchange-listed options contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3. Options and swaptions contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are fair valued based on pricing models and incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of OTC options and swaptions contracts would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

Restricted securities. Restricted securities that are deemed to be both Rule 144A securities and illiquid, as well as restricted securities held in non-public entities, are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they trade infrequently, and therefore the inputs are unobservable. Any other restricted securities are valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities and may be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that the discount is considered to be insignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety; otherwise they may be categorized as Level 3.

Short-term investments. Short-term investments (commercial paper and repurchase agreements) are valued using market price quotations, and are reflected as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Total return swaps. Total return swaps are fair valued using pricing models that take into account, among other factors, index spread curves, nominal values, modified duration values and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable and timely, the fair values of total return swaps would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

U.S. and Foreign government and agency securities. U.S. and Foreign government and agency securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, quoted market prices, and reference data. Some government securities are actively traded and transparent in the marketplace. As such, they can be categorized as Level 1. Other government and agencies securities are quoted based on similar securities and yields, and therefore would be categorized as Level 2.

As of March 31, 2024, Level 3 securities consist of certain asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, bank loans, common stocks, corporate bonds and credit default swaps.

Counterparty Credit Risk:

A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. For OTC options purchased, each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Funds to perform, and not the counterparty.

With exchange-traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Collateral requirements:

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold typically of $250,000 or $500,000 before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Fund, and additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Each Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds have implemented the disclosure requirements pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities that requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Funds disclose in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Funds disclose collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

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 the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the 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.

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 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 the Government National Mortgage Association (“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. 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 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, there may be 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, 2024, 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 approved 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 a 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 Corporate Bond Fund, Flexible Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Investment Grade Credit Fund, Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund, Strategic Income Fund and Sustainable Securitized Fund may not make short sales of securities or maintain a short position if more than 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets (taken at current value) are held as collateral for such sales at any one time. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Ultra Short Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund will not make total short sales exceeding 25% of the Fund’s total assets. The Floating Rate Income Fund will not make total short sales exceeding 15% of the Fund’s total 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, 2024, 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 Funds 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 Funds. The Funds also may make short sales “against-the-box”, in which

the Funds sell 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 invest in payment-in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Flexible Income Fund, the Floating Rate Income Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, and the Unconstrained Bond Fund received in-kind payments with respect to PIK securities of $7,197, $102,993, $23,340, and $111,324, respectively.

The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the Funds purchase a security from a counterparty who agrees to repurchase the same security at a mutually agreed upon date and price. On a daily basis, the counterparty is required to maintain collateral subject to the agreement and in value no less than the agreed repurchase amount. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book entry system or held in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. In the event the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, the Funds could experience losses, delays and costs in liquidating the collateral.

Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”) permit each Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, each Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by each Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, each Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect each Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. As of March 31, 2024, the Total Return Bond Fund held repurchase agreements which made up 0.96% of net assets.

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 secured borrowings by the Fund for purposes of the percentage limitations applicable to borrowings in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as a liability. Interest payments made are recorded as a component of interest expense. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security sold by a Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the security. A Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the manager or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. The average dollar amount and average interest rate of reverse repurchase agreements in the Total Return Bond Fund for the year ended March 31, 2024, was $472,147,049 and (0.61)%.

Reverse repurchase transactions and treasury roll transactions are entered into by a Fund under MRAs. With reverse repurchase transactions and treasury roll transactions, typically the Funds and the counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, a Fund receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by a Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, a Fund is considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed. As of March 31, 2024, the Total Return Bond Fund held reverse repurchase agreements. These reverse repurchase agreements were pledged by counterparty with U.S. Treasury Obligations valued at $1,501,250,000. The contractual maturity of secured borrowings is within 30 days.

In the event the counterparty of securities under an MRA files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the agreement may be restricted while the counterparty, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce a Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

Each Fund may enter into when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions in order to lock in the purchase price of the underlying security, or in order to adjust the interest rate exposure of the Fund’s existing portfolio. In when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment transactions, a Fund commits to purchase or sell particular securities, with payment and delivery to take place at a future date. Although a Fund does not pay for the securities or start earning interest on them until they are delivered, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. If a Fund’s counterparty fails to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment basis, there may be a loss, and that Fund may have missed an opportunity to make an alternative investment. Prior to settlement of these transactions, the value of the subject securities will fluctuate, reflecting interest rate changes. In addition, because a Fund is not required to pay for when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward commitment securities until the delivery date, they may result in a form of leverage to the extent a Fund does not maintain liquid assets equal to the face amount of the contract. The Funds segregate assets (cash and/or securities) to cover the amounts outstanding related to these transactions.

Derivatives:

The Funds may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Funds are subject to credit risk, equity price risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below:

Over the reporting period, the Funds engaged in interest rate futures contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and swaptions as a means of managing interest rate risk and yield curve positioning consistent with the Adviser’s current market perspectives. Additionally, credit default swaps were held for the purposes of (1) hedging valuation risks specific to identified market segments, industries and credits and (2) efficiently gaining income-bearing exposures to selected market segments, industries and credits. The market value of these instruments, realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the types of contracts are included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments and the Notes to Financial Statements.

Options - 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. The Fund pays a premium which is included as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. A Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is covered by the Fund 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. When the Fund writes a call or put, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). 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 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 may be required to fulfill its obligation as

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

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 execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter options. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. Transactions in certain over-the-counter options may expose the Funds to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty to the over-the-counter option transaction, a Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized loss of the contract (as writer). As of March 31, 2024, the Funds did not hold any options.

Futures - The Funds purchased or sold exchange-traded futures contracts, which are contracts that obligate the Funds 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 of 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.

Futures transactions involve minimal counterparty risk since futures contracts are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade.

Foreign Currency - The Funds may hold foreign currency as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts - The Funds entered into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by a Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Swaps - The Funds invested 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 counterparty (and in certain circumstances may not be assignable), and may result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.

The Funds entered into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. 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 a 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

 

337 / Annual Report March 2024


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

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, counterparty risk and credit risk.

The aggregate fair value of credit default swaps in a net liability position is reflected as unrealized depreciation. The collateral posted for swap contracts, net of assets received as collateral, is also disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a portfolio as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement is an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts are partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities. As of March 31, 2024, the Funds did not hold any credit default swaps.

The Funds entered into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted NAV of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life. The Funds enter into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve, or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed-rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate 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, 2024, the Funds did not hold any swaptions.

In addition to the securities listed above, the AlphaTrak 500 Fund invested in the following equity derivative instruments with a notional or contractual value up to its total assets: S&P 500 Index futures contracts and Mini S&P 500 Index futures contracts. 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 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 LIBOR-based cash flows. 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 in 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, 2024, 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.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Foreign Investing Risk: The Funds may be exposed to the risk that the Funds’ share prices will fluctuate with market conditions, currency exchange rates and the economic and political climates in countries where the Funds invest.

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.

 

Annual Report March 2024 / 338


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

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 a Fund’s 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 an unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increases 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.

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 are 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 versus purchase versus 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 which 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’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

LIBOR Risk: The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading benchmark or reference rate for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced the gradual phase out of the LIBOR rate, with nearly all LIBOR rate publications having ceased as of June 30, 2023 (some LIBOR rates continue to be published, but only on a temporary and synthetic basis). Alternatives to LIBOR have been established and others may be developed. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financial Rate (SOFR) as the preferred alternative rate to LIBOR. SOFR is a relatively new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. There remains uncertainty surrounding the nature of any replacement rates. The transition to a new reference rate may result in (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments or contracts that previously relied on or still rely on LIBOR, (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments or contracts held by a Fund, (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging, (iv) additional tax, accounting and regulatory risks, or (v) costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to a Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or NAV. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments or contracts using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity.

Bank Loan Risk: There is a risk of investing in corporate loans made by commercial banks and other financial institutions or institutional investors to companies that need capital to grow or restructure, which includes interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. The Fund may also be subject to the credit risk of other financial institutions and the risks associated with insufficient collateral securing a bank loan, limited available public information about a bank loan, delayed settlement, and less protection for holders of bank loans as compared to holders of registered securities. Bank loans are not registered and otherwise may not be treated as securities under the federal securities laws, meaning investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in securities that are registered under or are otherwise subject to the protections of the securities laws.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

As compensation for advisory services, the Adviser charges the AlphaTrak 500 Fund, the Corporate Bond Fund, the Flexible Income Fund, the Floating Rate Income Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, the Sustainable Securitized Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the Ultra Short Bond Fund and the Unconstrained Bond Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.40%, 0.40%, 0.45%, 0.55%, 0.50%, 0.35%, 0.35%, 0.30%, 0.50%, 0.65%, 0.40%, 0.35%, 0.25% and 0.65%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has agreed in an operating expenses agreement with the Trust to limit each Fund’s expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, short sales dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, and any expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) 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 at both the time of the waiver and the recoupment. 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 of the Fund are at or above the expense cap. However, if the total operating expenses 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.

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 $150,000 and $10,000 for each meeting of the Board attended in person and $2,500 for each meeting attended telephonically. The chairman of the Board receives an annual retainer of $60,000. The respective chairman of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee each receives an additional annual retainer of $40,000 and $20,000, respectively. The Trust has an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for certain eligible Trustees. The Deferred Compensation 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 10 annual installments. The expenses related to the annual retainer, meeting fees, and/or any fluctuation in the selected Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded in Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.

SHARE MARKETING (12b-1) PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN

The Trust has a Share Marketing Plan (or the “12b-1 Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to Class M shares of the Corporate Bond Fund, the Flexible Income Fund, the Floating Rate Income Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, the Sustainable Securitized Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Unconstrained Bond Fund, and the Administrative Class shares of the Low Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund.

 

Annual Report March 2024 / 342


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

Under the 12b-1 Plan, the Trust pays TCW Funds Distributors, Inc., as the Trust’s distribution coordinator, an annual fee up to 0.25% of the particular Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class M shares and Administrative Class shares 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, 2024. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is currently not incurring Rule 12b-1 fees. The Adviser has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2024, to pay the distribution expenses of the AlphaTrak 500 Fund out of its own resources.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan that allows each Fund to pay to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder services provided to Fund shareholders who invest in the Administrative Class shares of a Fund through the intermediary. The fee is payable under the Shareholder Servicing Plan at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the particular Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Share class, but the Adviser has undertaken to limit these expenses for the current fiscal year to 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested through the intermediary.

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts which provide a variety of representations and warranties, and that provide general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Trust under these arrangements is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust; however, based on the Trust’s experience, the risk of loss is remote and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Trust has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

COMMITTED LINE OF CREDIT

The Funds have entered into a $350,000,000 committed revolving line of credit agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank”) for temporary borrowing purposes with an expiration date of October 4, 2024. The interest rate on borrowing is the higher of the federal funds rate or SOFR plus 0.10%, plus 1.25%. There were no borrowings from the line of credit as of or during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Funds pay the Bank a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount. The commitment fees incurred by the Funds are presented in the Statements of Operations. The commitment fees are allocated to each applicable portfolio in proportion to its relative average daily net assets and the interest expenses are charged directly to the applicable portfolio.

 

13.

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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01 (“ASU 2021-01”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).” ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR; regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset day of this guidance to December 31, 2024. The amendments in this update are in effect for the Funds. There have been no impacts to date.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 (1) clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 on the fair value measurement of an equity security that is subject to a contractual sale restriction and (2) requires specific disclosures related to such an equity security. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. There have been no impacts to date.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of

The Metropolitan West Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”) comprising the Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund, Metropolitan West Corporate Bond Fund, Metropolitan West Sustainable Securitized Fund (formerly known as Metropolitan West ESG Securitized Fund), Metropolitan West Flexible Income Fund, Metropolitan West Floating Rate Income Fund, Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund, Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund, Metropolitan West Investment Grade Credit Fund, Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund, Metropolitan West Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund, Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund, Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund, Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund, and Metropolitan West Unconstrained Bond Fund (the “Funds”), including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2024, 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 five years in the period then ended for the Funds, except Metropolitan West Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund and Metropolitan West Sustainable Securitized Fund; the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the periods indicated in the table below for Metropolitan West Opportunistic High Income Credit Fund and Metropolitan West Sustainable Securitized Fund, and the related notes.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above constituting Metropolitan West Funds as of March 31, 2024, and 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 five years in the period then ended (or for the period listed in the table below) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

 

353 / Annual Report March 2024


Table of Contents

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Liquidity Rule”) requires that all registered open-end management investment companies, including the Funds, establish a written liquidity risk management program (a “Liquidity Program”). Under a fund’s Liquidity Program, a fund must assess, manage and periodically review the fund’s liquidity risk, classify the liquidity of each of the fund’s portfolio investments, determine whether to specify highly liquid investment minimum (and, if so, at what level), limit illiquid investments to 15% of fund investments, and establish policies and procedures regarding how and when a fund will engage in redemptions in-kind. Consistent with the Liquidity Rule, the Board has approved the written Liquidity Program for the Funds and has designated a committee of professionals associated with the Adviser to administer the Funds’ Liquidity Program (the “Program Administrator”).

On March 4, 2024, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s written annual report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Funds’ Liquidity Program for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Liquidity Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of a Fund’s Highly Liquidity Investment Minimum (“HLIM”). The Report discussed, among other things: (1) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s liquidity risk and the results of this assessment; (2) the methodology and inputs for classifying each of the Fund’s investments into liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) whether a Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule) and the operation and monitoring of the HLIM assigned to a Fund, as applicable; (4) whether a Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (5) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions. The Report concluded that the Liquidity Program was reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Reporting Period.

There can be no assurance that the Liquidity Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Reorganization of Certain Funds into ETFs

(Unaudited)

On April 8, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, having determined that a reorganization of each of the following Funds would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, voted to approve a form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to reorganize each Fund with and into a newly-created exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), which will be a series of TCW ETF Trust, as specified below:

 

     
Metropolitan West Fund       New ETF
     
MetWest Floating Rate Income Fund g  TCW Senior Loan ETF
     
MetWest Investment Grade Credit Fund g  TCW Investment Grade Credit ETF
     
MetWest Flexible Income Fund g  TCW Flexible Income ETF

Pursuant to applicable law (including the Investment Company Act of 1940) each reorganization may be implemented without shareholder approval. Each reorganization is expected to occur in September 2024 and is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Additional information about each reorganization will be made available to shareholders of the applicable Fund in a combined information statement/prospectus prior to the reorganization date.

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.
