MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND

The Fund’s performance for the year ended December 31, 2008 was a direct reflection of the Fund’s overweight to the spread sectors of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), which continued to reach historically wide levels, and subsequent underweight to U.S. Treasuries. In 2008 U.S. Treasuries recorded their best returns since 1995. The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index generated a return of almost 14% for 2008. Negative excess (vs. duration neutral U.S. Treasuries), and in some cases absolute returns for 2008, were historical by any measure. Negative excess returns were multiples of those previously experienced in most sectors. September, October and November were among the worst months ever for the Index as well as most of its sectors. All sectors reached their historically wide levels in late 2008, despite significant governmental policy response. In late December, historically wide spreads and attractive yields began to stimulate investors whose risk appetite was slowly returning. The deleveraging phenomena, which affected all asset classes over the last 18 months has slowed, thus removing the technical overhang of sellers far outnumbering buyers.

With historically wide spreads, the Fund continues to focus on taking advantage of market dislocations, as opportunities exist across all spread sectors. According to Credit Suisse, current spread levels for investment grade corporate securities imply a default rate of approximately 9%. Moody’s 5-year cumulative investment grade corporate default rate from the depression era of 1931-1935 was 3.88%. Commercial mortgage-backed securities that benefit from significant credit enhancement are extremely attractive with yields north of 10%. During the last real estate collapse in the early 1990s, commercial loans experienced about a 10% default rate while these AAA rated securities benefit from 15-50% of credit enhancement. We will continue to search to enhance the portfolio while also remaining cognizant of the overall level of risk. Given the existing market dislocation, prudent portfolio construction is key. We continue to seek value from an irrational marketplace.

The Fund’s allocation to the spread sectors of the Index declined modestly during the 4th quarter of 2008. Cash was allowed to increase to almost 10% during the 4th quarter in anticipation of attractive opportunities in the marketplace. At December 31, 2008, approximately, 6% of the Fund’s holdings retained a credit rating below investment grade.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

MONEY MARKET FUND

The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy committee (FOMC) began 2008 deliberating the impact of the deterioration in financial markets, weak labor markets, as well as the ongoing correction in the housing market. As a result, the FOMC voted in an emergency meeting to reduce their benchmark lending rate by 75 basis points on January 22nd from 4.25% to 3.50%. Fed Chairman Bernanke, along with other officials, were proactive in efforts to alleviate the credit crunch by utilizing a host of liquidity programs, including expanding the Term Auction Facility (TAF) auctions, lengthening the maturity of open market repurchase agreements, and making changes to acceptable collateral for those loans to include mortgage-linked bonds. The central bank arranged for an emergency loan to Bear Stearns Co. to prevent the institution from filing for bankruptcy and disrupting the capital markets. At each of the next three regular meetings, the FOMC lowered the lending rate. By the end of April, the rate had been reduced to 2%.

The FOMC kept rates unchanged through the end of the third quarter, content that growth and inflation risks were essentially balanced. In September, market conditions took a serious turn for the worse, as confidence and liquidity appeared to vanish. Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation were suddenly forced into conservatorship. Lehman Brothers abruptly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and in the same weekend, Merrill Lynch was acquired by the Bank of America. Shortly thereafter, American International Group (AIG) received emergency loans from the U.S. government in return for equity interest to avert bankruptcy. The safety of money market mutual funds suddenly came into question. In response, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the ECB and the Bank of Japan poured billions into the banking system on a daily basis through a variety of liquidity and lending programs. In October, the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) was launched to provide a liquidity backstop for U.S. issuers of commercial paper. In addition the Federal Reserve of New York was tapped to finance the purchase of unsecured and asset-backed commercial paper and agency discount notes from eligible issues through its primary dealers. The Treasury also established a temporary guaranty program for the U.S. money market mutual fund industry to stem the tide of redemptions and repair the confidence lost. In October, Congress authorized and President Bush signed the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) which would provide up to $700 billion to the U.S. Treasury to purchase troubled assets. Later, bank holding companies were given the ability to issue bonds and commercial paper, unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government though the Term Lending Guarantee Program (TLGP).

In addition to the programs mentioned above, the FOMC continued to lower rates in the fourth quarter. By year end, the Fed Funds target interest rate was at a record low and is now quoted in a range of 0.00% to 0.25%. The Discount Rate ended the year at 0.50%. The liquidity programs, along with the safety of U.S. Treasury bills provided tremendous demand for safe, short term investments. The persistent flight to quality has brought interest rates on U.S. Treasury bills near and even below zero. Rates on agency discount paper, industrial and TLGP commercial paper also declined sharply given their safety and liquidity.

Three-month Treasury bills started the year at the high of 3.33%. However, as the Fed started to lower interest rates in January, for a total of ten reductions by year end, U.S. Treasury bills plummeted to a low of (0.02%) early in December before ending the year at 0.08%.

Economic data continues to indicate weak consumer, housing, and manufacturing data as well as falling commodity prices. With the Fed Funds target interest rate now in a range of 0.00% to 0.25%, the Fed has ensured the market it will use whatever tools necessary to maintain stability in the financial markets and promote economic development. Our strategy remains to invest in a high quality, liquid portfolio.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND

Effective May 1, 2008, Global Real Estate Fund amended its investment strategy to a global real estate mandate, with the Fund now benchmarked to the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Global Real Estate Index rather than the MSCI US REIT Index. In the first four months of 2008, the Fund outperformed its then benchmark, the MSCI US REIT Index. For the period May 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Global Real Estate Index, due to a combination of poor stock selection, sector allocation and country allocation.

Despite the strategic rationale for global mandate, the tactical timing of the switch was not ideal, as the transition occurred in the midst of a worsening global recession. Global diversification was not a benefit in 2008, and the only business model, and/or property type that did well was one that featured virtually no debt. The last eight months of 2008, the period in which the Fund was fully global, saw the MSCI U.S. REIT Index tumble -42.73%, and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index fall -47.86%, and the Fund underperformed on a relative basis.

We have always believed that diversification takes on a special meaning in managing a U.S. real estate portfolio because the different property types and business models typically behave very differently at different stages of the economic cycle. With a global portfolio, the opportunities to diversify are even greater. Furthermore, we believe real estate as an asset class will remain less correlated globally than bonds and stocks due to the local economic drivers that have a large influence on the users and owners of real estate.

The 3rd and 4th quarters of 2008 were extremely volatile in both the global and U.S. real estate equity markets, with the global markets fairing slightly worse than the U.S. market. For the year, global real estate equities also underperformed U.S. real estate equities. Globally, the performance trends by property type were the same for the last 6 months and for all of 2008, mostly because the terrible performance in the 4th quarter overwhelmed the performance in the other three quarters. Due to their above industry average leverage levels and economic cyclicality, the industrial, regional mall, and hotel property types were the worst performers. The best performing property types were the self-storage, health care, and apartment sectors.

No review of 2008 would be complete without at least recognizing the on-going global recession. As one of the more leveraged asset classes, anything real estate-related has, and will continue to suffer until more realistic values are reached. The damage has not spared any property type.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

DAVIS VENTURE VALUE FUND (subadvised by Davis Selected Advisers, L.P.)  

The sectors within the S&P 500 Index that turned in the weakest performance over the year were financials, materials, and information technology. The sectors that turned in the strongest (but still negative) performance over the year were consumer staples and health care.

The Fund’s financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 49% versus down 55% for the Index), but were still the largest detractors from performance. A higher relative average weighting in this sector (30% versus 16% for the Index) detracted from both absolute and relative performance. American International Group, American Express, Merrill Lynch, Berkshire Hathaway, Loews, Wachovia, and JPMorgan Chase were among the top detractors from performance. Wells Fargo and Hartford Financial Services were among the top contributors to the Fund’s performance.

The second largest detractor from performance were energy companies. The Fund’s energy companies performed roughly in-line with the corresponding sector within the Index (both down 35%) but had a higher relative average weighting in this sector (17% versus 14% for the Index). ConocoPhillips was among the top detractors from performance.

The Fund’s relative performance was helped by having a higher relative average weighting in consumer staple companies (15% versus 11% for the Index). Unfortunately, the Fund’s consumer staple companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 25% vs down 16% for the Index). Wal-Mart Stores was among the most important contributors to performance while Costco was among the most important detractors. The Fund no longer owns Wal-Mart Stores.

The Fund’s relative performance was harmed by having a lower relative average weighting in health care companies (4% versus 13% for the Index). The Fund’s healthcare companies under-performed the corresponding sector within the Index (down 29% vs down 23% for the Index). Schering Plough, was among the most important contributors to performance.

H&R Block, a consumer discretionary company, was the single most important contributor to performance over the year.

The Fund held approximately 9% of assets in foreign companies (including American Depositary Receipts) at December 31, 2008. As a whole these companies under-performed the domestic companies held by the Fund.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND (subadvised by OppenheimerFunds, Inc.)

Like most other asset classes, U.S. stocks declined sharply when a credit crunch that began in 2007 developed into a full-blown global financial crisis over the summer of 2008. Turmoil spread from the sub-prime mortgage sector of the U.S. bond market to other financial markets, including stocks, as investors became increasingly risk-averse. Declining asset prices compelled major financial institutions to write down or write off a significant portion of their investments’ value, contributing to massive losses that led to the insolvency of several major commercial banks, investment banks, mortgage agencies and insurers.

Meanwhile, a U.S. economic slowdown that began in late 2007 was exacerbated by the financial crisis, leading to a surge in job losses and additional pressure on slumping home prices. Cash-strapped consumers and anxious businesses curtailed spending, adding fuel to the downturn. The U.S. recession quickly spread to overseas markets, reducing previously robust demand for energy and building materials. Consequently, commodity prices that had reached record highs over the first half of the year plummeted over the second half.

Investors worried about these developments engaged in a “flight to quality,” selling riskier assets, such as small-cap stocks, in favor of U.S. Treasury securities. Selling pressure appeared to be indiscriminate as investors rushed for the exits, punishing stocks of fundamentally sound companies along with less healthy ones. Although the financial institutions at the epicenter of the crisis were mainly very large companies, the flight to quality was also damaging for smaller businesses, which historically have been more volatile than their larger counterparts. The bear market was especially severe for traditionally economically-sensitive sectors, such as the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, while sectors whose fortunes rise and fall with commodity prices, such as energy and basic materials producers, also were hard hit. Conversely, the historically defensive consumer staples and utilities sectors held up relatively well.

As always, we invested the Fund’s assets in accordance with the signals generated by our multi-factor quantitative models, including a newly developed model designed to consider unusually volatile market conditions. Our process worked relatively well over the first half of 2008, when the Fund generally produced higher returns than the Russell 2000 Index. Our market capitalization model indicated that companies toward the larger end of the small-cap range, including a number of mid-cap companies, were likely to fare better than micro-cap and other smaller stocks. In addition, our stock selection model found a number of opportunities in the materials sector, leading to an overweight position that benefited relative performance as commodity prices soared to record highs. Conversely, we identified relatively few highly ranked stocks in the financial sector, which was hurt by the credit crisis, and the health care sector, where managed care companies struggled with rising costs. On the other hand, an underweight position in the energy sector, a relatively small component of the index, detracted from relative performance over the first half of the year.

The positions that benefited the Fund’s results during the first half of the year were detractors over the second half of the year, when extreme volatility roiled equity markets. Midcap stocks, many of which had been removed from the Russell 2000 Index when it rebalanced at mid-year, fell sharply in the wake of the banking crisis, adversely affecting the Fund to a greater extent than the index. Although we reduced the Fund’s exposure to mid-cap stocks over the second half of 2008, it was not enough to offset the capitalization range’s poor performance. In addition, the Fund’s overweight positions in the materials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors fared poorly in the deepening recession that dominated the final six months of 2008.

As of year-end, our models have indicated that smaller-cap stocks generally are better positioned in the current market environment, which was reflected in a modestly underweighted position in mid-cap stocks and mildly overweight exposure to small and micro-cap stocks relative to the benchmark. In addition, the Fund ended the reporting period with an emphasis on the information technology, industrials and energy sector, where a number

of companies appear to have been punished too severely during the downturn and may be poised to rebound strongly in an eventual recovery. Likewise, we are also keeping an eye on the materials sector in 2009 and as of period end maintained an overweight position relative to the benchmark. Conversely, we ended the reporting period underweight the benchmark in financials.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

OPPENHEIMER LARGE CAP CORE FUND (subadvised by OppenheimerFunds, Inc.)

Effective May 1, 2008 Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. replaced Sun Capital Advisers LLC as subadviser to the Sun Capital All Cap Fund. Also effective May 1, 2008 the name of the Fund was changed to SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund. OFI Institutional Asset Management, Inc., an affiliate of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., serves as sub-subadviser to SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund.

The pervasive lack of credit in 2008 fueled a massive scaling back among U.S. corporations, increasing unemployment, and decreasing consumer spending. And while third quarter GDP was only slightly negative, economists anticipate the fourth quarter will be among the worst on record. Equity markets have been sent reeling, turning in the weakest calendar year performance in the post World-War II era. In response, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to their lowest level in history; Congress approved a roughly $170 billion stimulus plan early in 2008 and a $700 billion TARP in the opening days of the fourth quarter. Deals were brokered to save the likes of Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac and Congress is arranging for billions of dollars in loans for a struggling automotive industry.

The fourth quarter brought unprecedented volatility to the markets. Once unheard of, daily price movements of ±5% were not uncommon and moves of ±3% were commonplace, particularly early in the quarter. Though volatility eased in the closing weeks of the fourth quarter the average daily price movement of the S&P 500 was ±3.3%.

While we would hesitate to call November 20 the ultimately low in the bear market ravaging equities over the preceding 14 months, the subsequent rally has been significant. From the intra-quarter low through December 31, the S&P 500 gained 20.5%. In an absolute sense, this rally surpasses the technical definition of a bull market; however, its brevity precludes this designation, as we typically look for a sustained rally over at least three months.

Financials added the most value versus the S&P 500 since inception. Earlier in 2008, in response to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the integrity of data coming out of the sector, our quantitative team took steps to either limit the allowable position size in our client portfolios or to avoid specific stocks altogether – a strategy that worked well. The portfolio did not hold Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, or Wachovia; further, we elected to remove AIG from the portfolio well ahead of its collapsing share price.

Stock selectivity in Consumer Staples proved costly to the portfolio. Proctor & Gamble was the most costly holding in the sector; added to the portfolio in November, the stock is underweight in comparison to the benchmark making it costly in relative terms. The decision to avoid Anheuser-Busch also proved costly as the stock had strong gains.

We see parallels between today’s housing and credit turmoil and the technology bubble of the late ‘90s. Markets have seen prices rise on little or no substance; valuation tools are not working in line with their historical norms, and quantitative techniques have been out of favor. A decade ago, the tech bubble burst and stocks fell into a long and costly bear market. After some initial choppiness, markets experienced indiscriminate selling as fear of a protracted bear market grew. Following the tumult, valuation and risk measures swung back into favor and our process led to market outperformance for the next several years. The position we are now in is strikingly similar: we are seeing choppiness (with unprecedented volatility) and indiscriminate selling, which has altered the complacency and extreme risk-seeking behavior of earlier this year, moving the markets back towards a historically normal risk-averse stance.

WMC LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND (subadvised by Wellington Management Co., LLP)

Effective August 1, 2008, Wellington Management Company, LLP replaced Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC as subadviser to FI Large Cap Growth Fund. Also effective August 1, 2008, the name of the Fund changed to WMC Large Cap Growth Fund.

The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was an extraordinarily challenging year in financial markets as nearly every asset class recorded significant price declines. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as a widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. Equity investors sought to shed risk in response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a US recession, punishing stock prices broadly.

Small cap, mid cap, and large cap stocks declined in unison during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P 500 indices, respectively. Value and Growth stocks performed similarly during the period, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value and Russell 1000 Growth indices. There were no safe havens as all ten sectors within the Russell 1000 Growth Index posted negative double digit returns. Energy, Materials, and Telecommunication Services were the biggest laggards. Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary declined the least.

For the period from early August to year-end, overall Fund performance was hurt by weaker stock selection within the Materials, Financials, and Health Care sectors. This was partially offset by the positive impact to relative performance from stock selection within the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Energy sectors. The Fund’s underweight position to the relatively outperforming Consumer Staples sector negatively impacted relative performance. An underweight position to Materials and an overweight position to Information Technology also detracted from relative performance.

Among the largest detractors from relative performance during the period were Smith International, Potash, and Mosaic. Not owning integrated oil and gas company Exxon Mobil detracted from relative performance, as the market viewed its shares as a safe haven within the Energy sector. Shares of oil and gas exploration and production supplier Smith International declined because of lower revenues due to lower natural gas and oil prices. Shares of Canadian-based fertilizer and feed products company Potash and major fertilizer producer Mosaic fell as falling grain prices led to weakness in fertilizer demand. Information technology companies Cisco Systems, Microsoft, and IBM also detracted from the Fund’s absolute returns.

Top contributors to relative performance included AutoZone, Apollo Group, and Eli Lilly. Not owning oilfield service company Schlumberger also contributed to relative performance. Specialty auto parts retailer AutoZone’s shares rose over the period due to better than expected earnings and expectations that replacement part sales will increase as car owners try to extend the life of existing vehicles. Shares of for-profit education company Apollo Group rose as the company experienced very strong sales growth and high incremental margins in the most recent quarter. Shares of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly performed well due to the possibility of sustainable growth with several new drugs. Department store giant Wal-Mart was also among other top absolute contributors.

Sector exposure is predominantly a fall-out of stock selection. At the end of 2008 our largest overweights relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index were to the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, while the largest underweights were to Consumer Staples and Utilities.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

WMC BLUE CHIP MID CAP FUND (subadvised by Wellington Management Co., LLP)

The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was an extraordinarily challenging year in financial markets as nearly every asset class recorded significant price declines. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as a widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. Equity investors sought to shed risk in response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a US recession, punishing stock prices broadly.

Small cap, mid cap, and large cap stocks declined in unison during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P 500 indices, respectively. There were no safe havens as all ten sectors within the S&P MidCap 400 Index posted negative returns. Energy, Telecommunication Services, and Materials were the biggest laggards. Utilities and Consumer Staples declined the least.

Security selection in Consumer Discretionary, Materials, and Health Care contributed to positive relative performance for the Fund, and more than offset weaker stock selection in the Financials, Information Technology, and Energy sectors. Sector positioning, driven by security selection, also contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns during the period, primarily due to underweight positions in Energy and Consumer Discretionary. The Fund benefited from a modest cash position, which helped relative performance in a downward-trending market.

Top contributors to returns on a relative basis included Barr Pharmaceuticals, ITT Educational Services, and Allied Waste. Shares of specialty pharmaceutical company Barr Pharmaceuticals rose after the company received a stock and cash takeover offer from generic drug firm Teva Pharmaceutical. Shares of ITT Educational Services, a technology-oriented postsecondary degree programs provider, benefited from strong industry fundamentals as the softer economy aided enrollment growth and increases in federal loan limits enhanced pricing power. Waste management company Allied Waste was acquired by Republic Services in early December. Other top contributors to absolute performance included drug developer Millennium Pharmaceuticals, who was purchased by Takeda Pharmaceutical, and specialty automotive aftermarket parts and accessories retailer O’Reilly Automotive.

Top detractors from relative performance included Electronic Arts, CGG Veritas, and Chicago Bridge & Iron. Video game software company Electronic Arts saw its shares drift lower on disappointing bottom-line results due to high development costs and acquisition charges. Shares of CGG Veritas, a geophysical equipment and services provider, fell on concerns that demand for its seismic services would decline as energy companies cut back their exploration and production expenditures. Shares of global engineering and construction company Chicago Bridge & Iron declined due to project cost overruns and poor bidding on projects. US hospital operator Community Health Systems and oil and gas exploration and production company Forest Oil were also among the top detractors from absolute performance.

Sector exposure is predominantly a fall-out of stock selection. At the end of 2008 our largest overweights relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index were to the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, while the largest underweights were to Financials and Materials.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

LORD ABBETT GROWTH & INCOME FUND (subadvised by Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC)

Stock selection within the financial services sector was the largest contributor to relative performance during the period since inception until December 31, 2008. A key contributor was Wells Fargo & Company, a bank holding company with a sizable residential mortgage business. The company was one of the few financial firms that showed a positive return during a tumultuous year for the financial industry, far outperforming its peers. In the past three quarters it reported better than expected earnings and it raised its dividend. The Fund’s overweight position in the overall financial sector reduced somewhat the benefit of good stock selection.

Also contributing to relative performance was stock selection within the materials & processing sector. Agricultural processor Archer-Daniels-Midland Company rose sharply due to fourth quarter earnings results that far surpassed analysts’ expectations. Fears of a margin squeeze evaporated as corn prices fell dramatically in the second half of the year.

Within the auto & transportation sector, shares of Delta Air Lines rose significantly during the fourth quarter. Investors liked the solid growth in the airline’s Revenue per Available Seat Mile accompanied by a strategic reduction in capacity and declining fuel costs. Also, during the fourth quarter the airline completed its merger with Northwest Airlines which should result in operational synergies and geographical diversification.

The Fund’s sizeable underweights within the utilities and the integrated oils sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Electric utilities performed well in a poor market, and international oil holdings held up even in the face of dramatically lower crude oil prices in the second half of the year.

With the U.S. economy softening and credit fears deepening throughout 2008, just about every asset class, except Treasuries, suffered. The average ‘BAA’ U.S. corporate bond fell approximately 15 percent, oil plummeted nearly 60 percent, and the S&P 500® Index declined roughly 40 percent. But as weak as the economic fundamentals remained by year-end, it became increasingly apparent that financial markets had discounted altogether too much pessimism. The ensuing reassessment, helped, no doubt, by the relief measures undertaken by the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) and the Treasury, has begun to improve financial conditions, as is evidenced by the uptrend that developed in equity markets.

Despite the marked sell-off suffered by equities during 2008, the year began with only modest losses – the S&P 500 was down just 11.4 percent (on a total return basis) in the eight months ended August, 2008. However, the bankruptcy of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers in September sent the credit markets into a tailspin and intensified the selling of equities. In the credit markets, the spread between the three-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) and three-month overnight indexed swap rates (OIS) measured 78 basis points (bps) in early September but Lehman’s failure on September 15 helped send the LIBOR/OIS spread to a record high of 364 bps by the end of September. From the end of August 2008 to the market’s low on November 20, 2008, the S&P 500 sharply dropped 41.0 percent (on a total return basis).

Fortunately, the actions taken by the Fed and the Treasury, including a reduction in the fed funds rate to a record low of 0.25 percent and the establishment of several special funding facilities, helped restore some semblance of confidence to the financial system, as stocks, bond prices, and most credit spreads began to recover towards the end of 2008. The S&P 500 Index, for instance, finished the year approximately 19 percent above its November lows, and the LIBOR-OIS spread narrowed to 126 bps.

For the period, the losses in the equity market were broad as every major equity investment style plummeted during 2008. At the margin, smaller capitalization companies outperformed their larger peers; small caps finished the year down about 33.1 percent, versus a loss of roughly 36.1 percent for large caps (on a total return basis). Small and mid cap value outperformed their “growthier” peers, while large cap growth eked out slightly better performance than the large cap value style of investing. As for sector performance, consumer staples, health care,

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (Continued)

 

 

and utilities (three sectors largely considered defensive) outperformed the others, on a relative basis, with losses of 16.1 percent, 23.4 percent, and 30.2 percent, respectively (on a total return basis). It was the financial sector that paced the sell-off in equities with a total return meltdown of 56.6 percent.

The financial services sector remains the largest overweight within the Fund, after having moved above a market weight in late June. Throughout the fourth quarter, we cautiously and opportunistically added to existing positions in high-quality diversified financial firms, an investment management company and a mortgage Real Estate Investment Trust. We increased the consumer discretionary sector from a meaningful to a significant overweight by adding to positions within the retail industry. We believe this will position the portfolio well as the economy begins to bottom and consumer spending starts to increase at some point in 2009.

The utilities sector remains the Fund’s largest underweight sector. We believe investors have crowded into this expensive, “safe haven” area because of the poor stock market environment and will be unpleasantly surprised by the lack of upside when the overall market turns more positive. The integrated oils sector also remains a significant underweight. This sector held up well during the quarter, even though crude oil and other energy prices declined sharply. We have difficulty finding attractively valued companies here, as we believe most are over-earning their long term potential by a substantial margin because of the “mini bubble” in energy prices over the past year.

We considerably reduced exposure to the technology sector such that it moved from being a large overweight to a moderate overweight, and to the consumer staples sector, such that it moved from being overweight to being underweight. Most of the stocks we sold in these areas have held up better than the overall market and we are finding better risk-reward opportunities elsewhere in the market.

GOLDMAN SACHS MID CAP VALUE FUND

(subadvised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.)

Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Value Index, for the time period since inception, March 7, 2008, to December 31, 2008.

During the period, stock selection among sectors was a positive contributor to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s holdings in the Financials sector were the most successful relative to their peers in the benchmark. On the downside, stock selection in the Materials sector was the least successful. All ten sectors in the Index posted negative results, particularly the Energy (-50.6%) and Consumer Discretionary (-44.9%) sectors. The Financials (-35.9%) sector was the largest detractor (weight times performance) from Index returns.

In individual holdings, underweights in Washington Mutual and Reliant Energy, Inc. as well an overweight in Hudson City Bancorp were among the most successful selections. Meanwhile, underweights in United States Steel and AON Corp., as well as an overweight in CBS Corp. were the biggest detractors from excess returns for the period.

Returns to the investment themes were positive overall. Profitability contributed most positively to excess returns, followed by Momentum, Sentiment and Quality. Conversely, Valuation and Management detracted from relative performance. Valuation and Profitability summarize results from the balance sheet and income statement, whereas Quality and Management measure the operating, investing, and financing activities from a company’s statement of cash flows. Momentum measures information about a wide variety of investment-relevant events that are sufficiently complex, in many cases, that it takes time for the market to fully appreciate their implications for security values. The sixth theme, Sentiment, is based on the detailed research of stock analysts, research that includes the evaluation of financial statements, discussions with management, and the study of industry trends. Sentiment allows us to incorporate a wide range of qualitative information on companies and their industries into our quantitative evaluation of stocks.

Extraordinary moves in global financial markets during the fourth quarter of 2008 created an unprecedented period of market distress as credit spreads, both implied and realized volatilities, and investor risk aversion remained at persistently elevated levels.

After five years of strong performance in most major equity indices, 2008 was one of the most challenging years in the history of equity markets. The S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 Indices were down approximately 37.0% and 33.8%, respectively, and the MSCI EAFE and MSCI World Indices fell 43.4% and 40.7%. In contrast to 2007, value outperformed growth and large cap stocks lagged small cap stocks in the US.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION FUND

(subadvised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.)

A combination of top-down and bottom-up strategies impacted relative performance during the year. Top-down strategies included our duration strategy and cross-sector exposures. Cross-sector positioning detracted from relative performance over the period. Specifically, the portfolio’s overweight exposure to the corporate and mortgage-backed securities sectors detracted from performance as all spread sectors underperformed treasuries over the period. This was partially offset by positive returns of the Fund’s U.S. Swap position, as swaps outperformed treasuries during the year. Security selection of corporate securities within the financial subsector detracted from returns during the period. 2008 was marked by significant pressure on financial names as asset quality began to deteriorate causing an overall weak economic conditions. Selection of various government specific bonds were the largest contributors to performance during the period. Specifically U.S. Treasury holdings in the front end of the yield curve helped performance as short term rates fell over 300 basis points during 2008.

The Barclays Capital U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index underperformed swaps and duration-adjusted Treasuries by 879 bps and 563 bps, respectively. Despite showing some tentative signs of stabilization in the final weeks of the year, corporate spreads pushed wider, ending the quarter 98 bps wider at 555 bps over Treasuries. Spreads on synthetic corporate indices widened to a much lesser extent, ending the quarter 39 bps wider at 205 bps. On the supply front, the revision to the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program resolved some of the key uncertainties hindering widespread participation in this program, leading to a surge in FDIC-guaranteed issuance, with more than $70 billion of issuance since the program’s inception in November. At the same time that the government’s efforts to stem the crisis are being stepped up, company specific news continued to deteriorate. Sectors within the Barclays Capital U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index that are more sensitive to the economy, such as Lodging (-23.6%), REITs (-21.6%) and Building Materials (-17.0%) were the worst-performing industries. On the other hand, financials recouped some of their sharp third quarter losses as Brokerage (16.2%) and Banking (10.6%) were some of the top-performing sectors.

Yields on U.S. government bonds fell significantly during the fourth quarter as the negative feedback loop between the real economy and the financial system became more entrenched. Governments and central banks across the globe continued their swift and extraordinary efforts to strengthen financial systems and improve credit conditions. The Federal Open Market Committee decided to establish a target range for the federal Funds rate of 0-0.25%, marking the end of conventional easing. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) will now pursue unconventional approaches in hopes of stimulating aggregate demand.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

DREMAN SMALL CAP VALUE FUND (subadvised by Dreman Value Management, L.L.C.)

The fourth quarter of 2008 unfortunately retained the negative theme of the prior quarters of 2008, as the unwinding of the global credit bubble continued to take its toll on the equity markets. This leverage unwind has caused massive redemptions and the negative feedback loop from the financial crisis, putting major pressure on earnings as the economies around the world have slowed substantially leaving most in a recession. The economic deterioration accelerated over the past few months as General Motors reported that U.S. auto sales in October 2008 had fallen to levels not seen in more than 25 years, and adjusting for population growth was the lowest since World War II. Meanwhile, Japan’s industrial production collapsed in November by 8.1% month-over-month and by 16.2% year-over-year, which is the sharpest decline ever recorded, reflecting November’s sharp decline in the value of exports, which are strongly correlated with production trends. Even China slowed dramatically as November’s exports fell by 2%, a sharp drop compared to its prior growth rates of 20%.

For the quarter, large cap stocks outperformed small cap stocks, primarily as a result of the small cap energy stocks being decimated during the quarter. This sector was down 48.7%, compared to the large cap energy stocks which were down 22.6%.

For the period since inception to December 31, 2008, the Fund outperformed its benchmark through stock selection and sector allocation. From an attribution standpoint the Fund’s best performing sectors, on a relative basis, included Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Financials, Industrials, Information Technology, Telecommunication Services and Utilities. The Fund’s worst performing sectors were Energy, Materials, and Health Care.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector our stock selection and underweight position helped performance. We avoided many of the laggards in this sector as our research uncovered weakening demand for many of the retailers, consumer durables and media companies. In addition, most of the stocks we own outperformed the index on a relative basis. A rising unemployment rate coupled with a negative wealth effect from a bear market in stocks and housing should continue to pressure discretionary spending. We remain underweight this sector versus the benchmark.

In the Consumer Staples sector, our overweight combined with stock selection helped performance, on a relative basis. One of our strongest performers, Nash Finch, a food distribution company, was up for the quarter. Offsetting this gain were declines in Ralcorp Holdings, a manufacturer of private label food products, and Central European Distribution, a beverage distributor. We remain overweight this sector as the markets continue to be extremely volatile. This relative safe harbor should serve us well in the near future; however, as new opportunities arise we could use these stocks as sources of cash.

Surprisingly, in the small cap space the financial sector was a relative outperformer. Our underweight in this space for the quarter hurt the Fund; however, stock selection helped to offset this negative performance. Our bank holdings faired poorly during the quarter as charge-offs continued to rise and negatively impact earnings.

In the Insurance space we faired much better; Safety Insurance, a property and casualty insurer in Massachusetts, United Fire & Casualty, Odyssey Re Holdings, and Allied World Assurance all posted positive returns for the quarter. We continue to significantly underweight this sector.

Energy was our worst performing sector, where both our overweight and stock selection detracted from performance. With such a quick and fierce decline we believe that the stocks are selling near all time lows in terms of valuation. Energy assets, like oil and natural gas, in our opinion, will become more valuable as demand increases and supply decreases. While the pullbacks can be vicious, such as the one in the second half of the year, we believe that remaining overweight will prove to be a winning strategy in the coming quarters and years.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (Continued)

 

 

The Industrial Sector was a relative outperformer for the fourth quarter. Our stock selection and overweight added to performance. Our holdings in the electrical equipment industry were particularly weak. General Cable, a provider of copper, aluminum, and fiber optic wire and cable products, sold off with the decline in copper prices. Several other stocks also hurt performance during the year including Kennametal, a manufacturer of metal cutting and tungsten carbide tools used for drilling, boring, grooving, and threading. As the industrial stocks sold off we added Genesee & Wyoming, a short line rail company, to the Fund as we believe it has an attractive valuation and strong fundamentals. We remain slightly overweight the Industrial Sector.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

PIMCO HIGH YIELD FUND (subadvised by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC)

Over the period from inception until December 31, 2008, interest rates fell worldwide and yield curves in the U.S., Europe, and the United Kingdom steepened as investors fled to the safety of government bonds, especially shorter maturities. To forestall a recession and unfreeze credit markets during the early part of the year, the Federal Reserve continued to ease and reduce Federal Funds rate by 200 basis points, or 2 percentage points, and took several unconventional steps: it made several hundred billion dollars of liquidity facilities available to the financial system against an expanded range of collateral, opened its discount window to investment banks, and arranged the rescue of Bear Stearns. During the year, speculative grade spreads continued to widen, reaching a five-year high, as technicals continued to weigh on the market. However, negative technicals in the high yield market subsided modestly during the middle of the year spurring a low quality rally even as defaults grew.

What helped performance during the period

 

   

An above-benchmark average quality, as the flight to safety benefited higher rated bonds relative to low quality

 

   

A strong emphasis on high grade financials in the fourth quarter, as this segment of the market benefited significantly from government capital injections and debt guarantees

 

   

Within the utility sector, a focus on upper quality tier electric generation companies, which outpaced the broader sector

 

   

An underweight to metals and mining, which fell alongside the decline in commodities

 

   

Security selection in the consumer cyclical sector, where auto loans and auto parts/equipment led the broader industry category

What hurt performance during the period

 

   

An underweight to the aerospace and defense sector, which was among the top performing industry categories

 

   

Security selection in the telecom sector detracted from returns as integrated service and fixed-line providers underperformed wireless

 

   

An underweight to consumer non-cyclicals detracted from returns, which bested the overall market on the backs of strong tobacco, pharmaceuticals, and beverage sector returns

While still below their long-term average, defaults have jumped more than four-fold since the start of the year, reflecting a clear deterioration in fundamentals that is likely to continue. Although the momentum has been nothing short of rapid, it began from a peak in fundamentals and from a 26-year low in defaults. Nevertheless, the prolonged freezing of credit markets and ailing economy have the potential to exacerbate the pace of this deterioration. Valuations have taken the back seat to the fundamentals and technicals for the better part of the last two years. Whether it was when the record low spreads failed to mitigate the bid for high yield in the early-to-mid 2007 period given relatively strong fundamentals or the extreme wide spreads that couldn’t lure investors over the course of the last several months amid negative technicals, valuations have become a secondary consideration. Today, valuations appear very attractive as spreads have reached all-time wides and appear to discount default rates materially higher than today’s current levels or even the most pessimist forecasts for defaults. While we believe there are significant opportunities at today’s level of spreads, the overriding volatility in the market and potential for continued deleveraging calls for a defensive posture and makes prudent security selection a top priority.

PIMCO TOTAL RETURN FUND (subadvised by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC)

Over the period since inception until December 31, 2008, interest rates fell worldwide and yield curves in the U.S., Europe, and the United Kingdom steepened as investors fled to the safety of government bonds, especially shorter maturities. To forestall a recession and unfreeze credit markets during the early part of the year, the Federal Reserve continued to ease and reduce Federal Funds rate by 200 basis points, or 2 percentage points, and took several unconventional steps: it made several hundred billion dollars of liquidity facilities available to the financial system against an expanded range of collateral, opened its discount window to investment banks, and arranged the rescue of Bear Stearns.

During the middle part of the fiscal year, the central bank paused to reassess a U.S. economy buffeted by conflicting pressures of weakening economic indicators on one side and the threat of inflation on the other. However, the crisis, which was originally thought to be contained within the housing market, gradually spread to the corporate sector. The month of September featured a succession of shocking events. These included the Treasury’s bailout of mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and insurer AIG, as well as the realignment of the biggest U.S. investment banks via bankruptcy, merger, recapitalization, or transformation into bank holding companies.

In early October the U.S. Congress approved the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program proposed by the Treasury and the Fed to help unclog the flow of credit. As economic data continued to show a weakening economy in the midst of a deep recession, forceful action was taken by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). In addition to the previously announced government programs and continued Federal Fund rate cuts aimed to get the economy growing again, the FOMC stated it would target the fed funds rate between 0 and 0.25 percent.

What helped performance during the period

 

   

Non-U.S. duration. The portfolio was positioned on the front end of yield curves in certain developed countries outside the U.S., such as the U.K., where we felt that the market had not fully priced in a slowdown. This paid off as markets began to price in rate cuts by global central banks.

 

   

Underweight to corporates. Though we added to the portfolio’s corporate positioning, we stayed underweight. As spreads ballooned, this was a source of outperformance.

 

   

Overweight to financials. An overweight to bonds of financial companies, which benefited from government policy support in the fourth quarter.

What hurt performance during the period

 

   

Overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities. As the financial system de-levered, large institutions sold their most liquid assets to raise cash; in many cases, their most liquid assets were agency mortgage-backed securities. Spreads on agency mortgages widened to well over 200 basis points over Treasuries.

 

   

Curve steepening biases. In the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and the Eurozone, the portfolio was positioned for yield curve steepening. While curves steepened over the full year, the U.S. curve flattened during the fourth quarter, following funding of the portfolio.

For the period since inception to December 31, 2008, the Fund outperformed by the widest margin in the Consumer Discretionary sector, driven largely by stock selection in the consumer services industry group. In this sector, for profit education services provider DeVry Inc. was one of the Fund’s top contributors to performance. Teen retailer Hot Topic Inc. also made a significant contribution. The Fund also outperformed in the Information Technology sector, driven by stock selection in the software/services and the technology hardware/equipment industry groups. One of the leading contributors to performance was Cogent Inc., a company that provides automated fingerprint identification systems. Outperformance in the Energy sector was also driven by stock selection.

Underperformance in the Health Care sector was driven primarily by stock selection in two industry groups: pharmaceuticals/biotechnology/life sciences and health care equipment/services. One of the leading detractors to Fund performance was Parexel Intl Corp., a company that provides research services to pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device firms. Some of this weak performance was offset by strong performance from cosmetic surgery products maker Mentor Corp. Underperformance in the Telecom sector was due to stock selection and an underweight position. Underperformance in the Financials sector was largely due to stock selection in the bank and real estate industry groups. Two of the leading detractors to overall fund performance were SVB Financial Group, the holding company for Silicon Valley Bank, and Biomed Realty Trust.

Many factors contributed to the negative performance of most major market indexes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The chief catalyst was the ongoing subprime loan crisis and its far-reaching effects on overall credit availability. Additionally, record high crude oil prices, falling home values and the weak U.S. dollar placed significant pressure on the purchasing power of consumers. Later in the fiscal year, consumer confidence fell and market volatility increased dramatically due to growing fears of a global recession.

In the volatile market environment, the portfolio has a slightly more defensive posture. Additionally, we have slightly more exposure to the U.S., given valuation levels and the slowdown in many foreign economies.

At December 31, 2008, the largest overweight positions were in the semiconductor/semiconductor equipment, diversified financials, consumer services and transportation industry groups. The largest underweight positions were in the pharmaceuticals/life sciences/biotechnology, capital goods and consumer durables/apparel industry groups.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

 

ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND

(subadvised by AllianceBernstein L.P.)

Equity markets around the world collapsed in 2008, recording one of their worst ever years, as turmoil in the financial system threatened to plunge the global economy into a deep and prolonged recession. The MSCI EAFE Index fell -43%, including a decline of -20% in the fourth quarter. All sectors of the market were down over the quarter and the year, led by financials and consumer cyclicals. In this environment, defensive sectors, such as consumer staples, and health care, held up relatively better. The US dollar gained strongly relative to sterling, was up slightly against the euro, but lost ground to the yen.

The wholesale flight to safety intensified in the fourth quarter, as evidence mounted that the global economy was entering a severe slowdown. The yield on Treasury bills remained stuck near zero, showing that investors were willing to forego a return on their investment in exchange for a safe place to park their cash. Government bond yields also hit or neared record lows. But yield spreads on investment grade corporate bonds shot to peaks unseen since the Great Depression. Economic conditions are certainly grim. Global industrial production is plummeting, unemployment is rising quickly, and credit markets remain nearly frozen. The US led much of the developed world into recession, and emerging-market economies that have powered global growth in recent years, such as China, have also slowed sharply.

For the period since inception to December 31,2008, security selection was beneficial to Fund performance in the telecommunications sector, including Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (+0.13%) and Telecom Italia (+0.11%). Despite recent underperformance by the sector, several of our financial positions contributed to performance, including Allianz (+0.33%) and Prudential (0.20%). Detracting from performance were several of our financial holdings, including BNP Paribas (-0.43%), Credit Suisse (-0.35%), ORIX (-0.27%) and Credit Agricole (-0.24%). On a country basis, an underweight in Switzerland benefitted returns (+0.27%), while an overweight in Russia detracted (-0.22%).

Our research and experience as value managers have taught us to keep portfolio risk proportionate with the value opportunity we identify. After a lengthy period of compression, valuation spreads have widened. We continue to take advantage of investor overreaction to economic and industrial stresses, using our deep research capabilities to look for investment opportunities arising from current market volatility.

We have positioned the Fund to withstand the near-term risks associated with the new restrictive credit environment and depressed economic conditions while retaining the potential to benefit significantly from the inevitable market rebound.

In the economically sensitive commodity sector, we have reviewed balance sheets to make sure that the companies that we own can survive an extended period of lower commodity prices. This has led us to reduce our overweight in chemicals, nonferrous metals and steel stocks but increase our weight in energy companies.

And we have increased our exposure to the cyclically sensitive technology sector, where we have found several new opportunities that have excellent franchises and good balance sheets. We’re also maintaining significant exposure to a very attractive group of financial companies, though we have diversified our holdings within the sector to reduce single-stock risk.

BLACKROCK INFLATION PROTECTED BOND FUND

(subadvised by Blackrock Financial Management, Inc.)

For the period since inception to December 31, 2008, global inflation-linked bond markets continued the underperformance that has been a hallmark of 2008, as recession fears and deleveraging put pressure on breakeven inflation. The increased chance of global recession has been the biggest driver of these moves. Combined with the fall in energy prices, investors simply are not looking to buy inflation protection in this environment. However, the global inflation-linked bond markets appear attractive, as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) prices have dropped alongside a dramatic decline in inflation expectations. While TIPS will underperform in a deflationary environment, we believe this is a relatively short-term view. Longer term, after this bout of forced selling subsides and the government programs begin to stabilize the markets, we would expect inflation to pick up and TIPS to outperform. In fact, in December, global inflation-linked bonds staged a small comeback. The rally was driven by breakeven inflation in TIPS with maturities of 5 years or less, which outperformed nominal Treasuries by 50 to 100 basis points across the globe. Commodity markets stabilized somewhat, but the real driver of performance was an apparent break from deleveraging in shorter-maturity inflation-linked bonds.

On the longer end, real yields rallied in line with nominal Treasuries as central banks continued to ease and economies continued to weaken. Many investors are looking for inflation-linked bonds to bounce back in 2009 from what appears to be depressed levels. However, our view is that inflation has only begun to fall, meaning that there will be strong headwinds against the product for the early part of 2009. We would use a significant sell-off in real yields to add to positions, but believe the markets are fairly priced at the moment.

The main positive driver of performance, was our move to much cheaper “off-the-run’ TIPS vs. their “on-the-run” counterparts. This allowed us to pick up incremental yield available in the slightly less liquid non-current TIPS issues. Off-the-run issues are older dated bonds while on-the-run are recently issued. In the case of TIPS, the older dated bonds have lower inflation floors based on CPI at issuance. As a result, the principal amount on those bonds can continue to drop back to earlier levels, leading to greater volatility in the bonds.

Detracting from performance was our curve flattening strategy. We anticipated for some time that the steepening of the yield curve which occurred as the Fed pushed down front end rates would reverse and that long term yields would rally on deflation fears. We moved to a flattening bias, overweighting the 10 year sector of the curve. Throughout the period the TIPS curve remained steep. Also detracting to a lesser extent was our cash position, as TIPS rallied throughout the period.

IBBOTSON MODERATE, BALANCED AND GROWTH FUNDS

(subadvised by Ibbotson Associates, Inc.)

Ibbotson Moderate Fund

Ibbotson Moderate Fund currently has a neutral weighting relative to its strategic asset class targets. From an asset class level, the Fund was negatively impacted the most by its exposure to large cap value and international equities, particularly in October 2008. Core bonds and short-term bonds helped temper the negative downturn. At the Fund portfolio level, SC Davis Venture Value Fund, MFS Value Portfolio and SC AllianceBernstein International Value Fund were the largest detractors of performance, while SC PIMCO Total Return Fund and SC Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund were positive contributors to performance.

Ibbotson Balanced and Growth Funds

Each of the Ibbotson Balanced Fund and Ibbotson Growth Fund currently has an underweight in REITs relative to their strategic asset class targets. This underweight benefited the portfolios in the period since inception to December 31, 2008 since global REITS underperformed most other markets. The Funds were negatively impacted the most by their exposure to large cap value, large cap growth and international equities, particularly in October 2008. Core bonds and short-term bonds helped temper the negative downturn. At the Ibbotson Balanced Fund portfolio level, SC Davis Venture Value Fund, MFS Value Portfolio and SC AllianceBernstein International Value Fund were the largest detractors of performance, while SC PIMCO Total Return Fund and SC Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund were positive contributors to performance. At the Ibbotson Growth Fund portfolio level, SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund, Sun Capital Global Real Estate Fund, and SC Davis Venture Value Fund were the largest detractors of performance, while SC PIMCO Total Return Fund and SC Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund were positive contributors to performance.

U.S. Bond Market

The newly named Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate returned 4.58% in the 4th quarter and 5.24% for the calendar year. This annual return is only slightly lower than average; however, it masks the destruction that occurred in certain U.S. bond segments, as well as certain U.S. core bond funds designed to track the performance of the aggregate U.S. bond market. For many years the dispersion of intermediate-term U.S. bond funds has been rather tight. However, in 2007 and 2008, there are incredible amounts of dispersion, with some funds losing nearly 90% of their value.

Fears of a lengthy recession and lack of inflation have hurt Treasury inflation-protected securities, which lost 2.35% for the year and 3.48% for the quarter. At one point during the quarter, implied annualized deflation exceeded 2%. We believe policy makers will do whatever they can to avoid deflation. Policy makers have both a growing incentive and need to systematically devalue the U.S. dollar to help pay for the growing U.S. federal debt; thus, we believe realized inflation will exceed the currently implied near zero over the next five years. While the traditional CPI measure of inflation has dropped dramatically, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, or core PCE has not.

Finally, high-yield bonds, a category of assets that grew out of the corporate takeover and leveraged buyout activities of the infamous Michael Milken, dropped 17.9% in the 4th quarter and 26.2% during 2008. Yields are at all-time highs; yet, it is important to remember that high-yield bonds are a relatively new asset class and that this is the most significant recessionary period during their existence.

U.S. Stock Market

Of the 83 years since 1926, 2008’s negative 37.0% return of the S&P 500 Index was the second worst year on record. Only the 43.3% loss of 1931 was worse. Of the 332 quarters since 1926, the -22.0% return of the S&P 500 Index in Q4 2008 was the sixth worst quarter on record. During the 4th quarter, small-cap stocks

underperformed large-cap stocks by almost 4%, while value stocks narrowly beat out growth stocks. For 2008, small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks by nearly 6%, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks by around 2%.

U.S. REITs

U.S. REITs experienced an extremely volatile period in 2008. In contrast with most other asset classes, REITs had a positive year-to-date return heading into the third quarter. However, in the fourth quarter U.S. REITs lost -38% ending the year with a loss of -37.7%. While 2008 was a difficult year for U.S. REITs, they just barely underperformed the S&P 500, which lost -37%.

Global Equity Markets

The MSCI EAFE returned -19.9% for the quarter and -43.1% for the year. A portion of this year’s negative return can be attributed to the U.S. dollar, which appreciated relative to most currencies. It was also the worst year ever for emerging markets as measured by the relatively short-lived MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which had an annual return of -54.5%.

*The performance data of the index has been prepared from sources and data that the investment adviser believes to be reliable, but no representation is made as to their accuracy. The Dow Jones Relative Risk Indexes measure the performance of conservative, moderate and aggressive portfolios based on incremental levels of potential risk. The indexes are designed to systematically measure various levels of risk relative to the risk of a U.S. all-stock index. The Dow Jones Moderate U.S. Relative Risk Portfolio Index consists of 60% equities and 40% income. The Dow Jones Moderate U.S. Relative Risk Portfolio Index has been taken from published sources.

**Performance data is historical and includes changes in share price and reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance does not indicate future results. Performance numbers are net of all operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed in connection with your variable insurance contract. In addition, the investment adviser reduced its management fee and certain other expenses during this period. If this performance information included the effect of the insurance charges and the fees and expenses assumed by the investment adviser, performance numbers would be lower. The value of an investment in the Ibbotson Balanced Fund and the return on the investment will fluctuate and redemption proceeds may be higher or lower than an investor’s original cost.

EXPENSE INFORMATION

December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

 

Information About Your Fund’s Expenses

All mutual funds incur ongoing operating expenses, including management fees and administrative services, among others. The following tables are intended to increase your understanding of the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund. The following examples are based on the investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. Expense information does not include any insurance charges imposed in connection with your variable insurance contract.

Actual Expenses: The first section of each table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses 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 under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period”. In addition, Ibbotson Moderate Fund, Ibbotson Balanced Fund and Ibbotson Growth Fund, as shareholders in underlying funds, indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratios used to calculate the “Expenses Paid During the Period” for the Funds.

Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses): The second section of each table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. However, you may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. In addition, Ibbotson Moderate Fund, Ibbotson Balanced Fund and Ibbotson Growth Fund, as shareholders in underlying funds, indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratios used to calculate the “Expense Paid During the Period” for the Funds.

(1) If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances, take delivery of the security.
(2) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(3) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
(4) The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap contracts on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

Ibbotson Moderate Fund, Ibbotson Balanced Fund and Ibbotson Growth Fund are affiliated fund of funds. Each fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing in portfolios of underlying affiliated funds (“underlying funds”) which, in turn, may invest in a variety of U.S. and foreign equity, fixed income, money market and derivative instruments. The Funds do not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control, however investments by the Funds within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of the underlying funds net assets. Each Fund’s “Portfolio of Investments” lists the underlying funds held as of period end as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the holdings of the underlying funds. A complete list of the holdings of each underlying fund, as well as the financial statements of each underlying fund, as of December 31, 2008 are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov if not already provided in this report under the name of the underlying fund.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

a) Valuation of Investments

The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of each Fund is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business (a valuation day). If the New York Stock Exchange closes early as a result of holiday observance, emergency, the triggering of trading “circuit breakers” or other reason, each Fund will accelerate the determination of its NAV to that earlier time.

Investments in securities listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automation Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the day of valuation. Securities listed on any other U.S. or foreign exchanges are valued at the last sale price on the exchange or system in which they are principally traded on the valuation date, or if no sales occurred on that day, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Certain fixed income securities are valued by a dealer or by a pricing service based upon a computerized matrix system, which considers market transactions and dealer supplied valuations. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at cost plus earned discount to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Over-the-counter equity securities not quoted on the NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day, or, if no sale occurs, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. If both bid and asked prices are not available for that day, the last bid price is used. Investments in open end mutual funds and underlying funds are valued at their daily closing net asset value per share as reported by the investment company. Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by an Internal Pricing Committee under the oversight of the Board of Trustees.

The close of foreign exchanges before the determination of each Fund’s NAV gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred after these foreign exchanges close but before the Funds determine their NAV. To account for this, the Board of Trustees has approved an independent pricing vendor to facilitate the fair value process of equity securities traded on certain foreign exchanges. The frequency with which this fair value process is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under this fair value process may differ from published prices for the same securities.

 

191


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the Money Market Fund values its securities initially at cost, and thereafter, securities are assumed to have a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Amortized cost approximates fair value.

b) Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In compliance with FAS 157, the Funds have categorized their financial instruments, based on priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three level hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The three-tier hierarchy of fair value measurements pursuant to FAS 157 is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

* Other financial instruments are reflected in each Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments and include investments such as futures, swaps, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and forward sales contracts.
** The only investment held by the Investment Grade Bond Fund whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs had a value of $0 and $0 at December 31, 2007 and 2008.

c) Investment Transactions and Income

Investment security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Dividend income from securities and dividend and capital gain distributions from affiliated underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date (net of foreign withholding taxes, as applicable). Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at fair market value of securities received. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis (net of foreign withholding taxes). Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized using the interest method. Upon notification from issuers some dividend income received from a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of investment and/or realized gain. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Net investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by all classes of shares.

d) Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Investments

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The effects of changes in foreign currency

 

195


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

exchange rates on portfolio investments are included in the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions include disposition of foreign currencies, net gains or losses from assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and currency gains and losses between the accrual and receipt dates of portfolio investment income and between the trade and settlement dates of portfolio investment transactions.

e) Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for Federal tax purposes. Each Fund intends to elect or has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“the Code”). By so qualifying, the Funds will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that they distribute all of their taxable income, including realized capital gains, for the fiscal year. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds will not be subject to a Federal excise tax.

The Funds are subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB statement 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest.

A portion of the dividend income recorded by certain funds is from distributions by publicly traded REITs, and such distributions for tax purposes may also consist of capital gains and return of capital. The actual return of capital and capital gains portions of such distributions will be determined by formal notifications from the REITs subsequent to the calendar year-end. Distributions received from the REITs that are determined to be a return of capital may be recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the securities held.

At December 31, 2008, the following Funds have available for federal income tax purposes capital loss carryovers which can be used to offset certain future realized capital gains.

f) Credit Default Swaps

Certain Funds may enter into credit default swap contracts. A credit default swap is a contract between a buyer and a seller of protection against a pre-defined credit event. A Fund may buy or sell credit default swap contracts to seek to increase the Fund’s income, to add leverage to the portfolio, or to hedge the risk of default on Fund securities. As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of certain third party debt obligations to the counterparty in the event of a credit event (generally including the occurrence of a bankruptcy, failure to make payments in respect of debt obligations, or debt restructurings) in respect of such third party, such as a US or foreign corporate issuer. Such a payment would likely result in a loss to the Fund. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. The Fund may also buy credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities or to

 

198


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

take a view as to the likelihood of default of debt securities. This would involve the risk that the contract may expire worthless if a credit event does not occur during the term of the transaction. It would also involve credit risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund in the event of a credit event. In connection with credit default swaps in which the Fund is the buyer, the Fund will segregate cash or liquid assets or enter into certain offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the Fund’s exposure (any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed by the Fund to any counterparty), on a marked to market basis. In connection with credit default swaps in which the Fund is the seller, the Fund will segregate cash or liquid assets or enter into certain offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the full notional amount of the swap (minus any amounts owed to the Fund).

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose to deliver the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues to provide a measure of protection against credit events in respect 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 the occurrence of a credit event in respect of a particular issuer.

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list or basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. An index credit default swap references all the entities in the index, and if there is a credit event, the credit event is settled based on that entity’s weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many individual credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2008 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments. These potential amounts would be 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 Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

Credit default swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from the independent pricing vendor and the change in value, if any, is recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss. An upfront payment made by the Fund, if any, is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. An upfront payment received by the Fund, if any, is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Under the terms of the credit default swap contracts, the Fund receives or makes payments quarterly based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount. These payments are recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized, net of a proportional amount of the upfront payment, as realized gains or losses. As of December 31, 2008, only PIMCO High Yield Fund had open credit default swap agreements as listed on the Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments.

g) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange and Spot Contracts

Certain Funds may engage in forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts in an effort to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The value of such

 

199


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

contracts is translated into U.S. dollars. Forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts are marked to market daily. The change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss from foreign currency-related transactions equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange on a particular date. When a contract is used to hedge against movements in exchange rates, it will limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency during the relevant period, but will also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase during that period. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. As of December 31, 2008, PIMCO High Yield Fund, PIMCO Total Return Fund and AllianceBernstein International Value Fund had open forward contracts as listed on the Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments.

h) Futures

Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (the “settlement date”). A Fund may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated interest rate changes and for duration management, risk management and return enhancement purposes.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a financial intermediary an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price. The value of futures contracts will be the sum of the initial margin plus or minus the difference between the value of the futures contract on each day the Fund’s net asset value is calculated and the value on the date the futures contract is originated. Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in the value of the securities. As of December 31, 2008, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, PIMCO High Yield Fund, PIMCO Total Return Fund, AllianceBernstein International Value Fund and BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund had open futures contracts as listed on each Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments.

i) Interest Rate Swaps

Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swap contracts. A Fund may enter into interest rate swap transactions to manage the interest rate risk inherent in the Fund’s underlying investments. In an interest rate swap, the Fund would agree to pay the other party to the interest rate swap (the “counterparty”) a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty agreeing to pay to the Fund a variable rate payment, or the Fund would agree to receive from the counterparty a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty agreeing to receive from the Fund a variable rate payment. The payment obligations would be based on the notional amount of the swap.

Certain risks may arise when entering into swap transactions including counterparty default, illiquidity or unfavorable changes in interest rates. Payments received or made at the end of the measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The value of the swap is adjusted daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing vendor and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. As of December 31, 2008, only PIMCO High Yield Fund had open interest rate swaps agreements as listed on the Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

j) Loan Participations and Assignments

Certain Funds may invest in senior loans in the form of participations (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties (“Assignments”). Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan owed by a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks, other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Fund may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan, becoming a co-lender. When purchasing loan participations, the 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.

Assignments typically result in the Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with terms of the loan agreement. All senior loans involve interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk, including the potential default or insolvency of the borrower. As of December 31, 2008, only PIMCO High Yield Fund had open senior loans as listed on the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

k) Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions

Certain funds may enter into mortgage dollar roll (“MDR”) transactions with selected financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the mortgage market. A Fund will only enter into “covered” rolls. A “covered” roll is a specific type of dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or liquid security position. A dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the Fund of mortgage-back securities that it holds with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price on a specified future date. The securities repurchased will be substantially similar as to type, coupon and maturity as those sold. The Fund is paid a fee for entering into a dollar roll transaction, that is accrued as income over the life of the dollar roll contract. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold.

The proceeds of the sale will generally be invested in additional instruments for the Fund, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the dollar roll transaction, will generally exceed the interest income that would have been earned on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of those similar securities which the Fund is obligated to purchase or that the return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of a dollar roll may not exceed transaction costs. As of December 31, 2008 there were no open MDR transactions.

l) Options

Certain Funds may enter into option contracts. An option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (a “call option”), or sell to (a “put option”) the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Certain options, including options on indices, will require cash settlement by the Fund if the option is exercised. The Fund may enter into option contracts in order to hedge against potential adverse price movements in the value of portfolio assets; as a temporary substitute for selling selected investments; to lock in the purchase price of a security or currency which it expects to purchase in the near future; as a temporary substitute for purchasing selected investments; or to enhance potential gain.

When a Fund writes a call or put option, 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. The Fund pays a premium as a cost for a purchased put and call option, which is disclosed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. The liability representing the Fund’s obligation under an exchange traded written option or investment in a purchased option is valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices or at the most recent asked price (bid price for purchased options) if no bid and asked price are available. Over-the-counter written or purchased options are valued using dealer supplied quotations. Gain or loss is recognized when the option contract expires or is closed.

 

201


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

If a Fund writes a put option, it accepts the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying security below the exercise price. Over-the-counter options have the risk of the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum exposure to purchased options is limited to the premium initially paid. In addition, certain risks may arise upon entering into option contracts including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund’s ability to close out an option contract prior to the expiration date and that a change in the value of the option contract may not correlate exactly with changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged. There were no open option contracts as of December 31, 2008.

m) Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)

Certain Funds may invest in REITs. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest most of their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest most of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from interest payments. Each Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any expenses (such as operating expenses and advisory fees) paid by REITs in which it invests in addition to the expenses paid by the Fund.

Certain risks may arise when investing in REITs. Although Global Real Estate Fund does not invest directly in real estate, it does invest primarily in real estate equity securities and does concentrate its investments in the real estate industry, and, therefore, an investment in the Fund may be subject to certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. Each of the other funds that may invest in REITs may, to a lesser degree, be subject to these risks. Risks associated with the real estate industry may include risks resulting from future economic, political and environmental conditions.

n) Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security (“collateral”) for a relatively short period (usually not more than 7 days) subject to the obligation to sell the security back to the repurchase agreement counterparty at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. Securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the Trust’s custodian. The value of the collateral must at least equal 102% of the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, until the agreement matures. The value of the collateral is marked to market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. There is the risk that the collateral may be insufficient to meet the obligation in the event of default. As of December 31, 2008, Davis Venture Value Fund, Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund, WMC Large Cap Growth Fund, WMC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund, PIMCO High Yield Fund, PIMCO Total Return Fund, AIM Small Cap Growth Fund, Ibbotson Moderate Fund, Ibbotson Balanced Fund and Ibbotson Growth Fund had open repurchase agreements as listed on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

o) Total Return Swap Agreements

Certain Funds may enter into total return swap agreements. Total return swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specific period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements are subject to the risk that a counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the fund under contract. Total return swap agreements also bear the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to the counterparty. Total return swap agreements on indices involve

 

202


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing vendor and the change in value, if any, is recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss. As of December 31, 2008, only BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund had outstanding total return swap contracts as listed on the Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments.

p) When Issued Securities and Forward Commitments

The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when issued or forward commitment basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase and sell securities with payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and such transactions may involve a risk of loss if the value of the underlying security declines prior to the settlement date. The price of the underlying securities and the date when these securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. If the other party involved in the transaction fails to deliver the securities, the Fund is at risk to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices and yields. In connection with such purchases the Funds maintain cash or liquid assets in an amount equal to purchase commitments for such underlying securities until settlement date, and for sales commitments the Funds maintain equivalent deliverable securities as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying security. Daily fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. As of December 31, 2008, only Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund had outstanding forward sales contracts as listed on the Fund’s Portfolio of Other Financial Instruments.

q) Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities

Certain Funds may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to reflect inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers (“CPIU”). The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to interest income. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Fund’s distributions. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

r) Equity Linked Securities

Certain Funds may invest in equity-linked securities which are privately issued securities whose investment results are designed to correspond generally to the performance of a specified stock index or “basket” of stocks, or a single stock. These securities may be used by a Fund to gain exposure to countries that place restrictions on investments by foreigners. To the extent that the Funds invest in equity-linked securities whose return corresponds to the performance of a foreign securities index or one or more foreign stocks, investing in equity-linked securities will involve risks similar to the risks of investing in foreign securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk that the issuer of an equity-linked security may default on its obligation under the terms of the arrangement with the counterparty. At December 31, 2008, the AllianceBernstein International Value Fund held equity-linked securities as listed on the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

s) Expenses

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a particular Fund are allocated evenly among the affected Funds, allocated on the basis of relative net assets, or otherwise allocated among the Funds as the Trustees may direct or approve. Expenses directly attributable to a particular class of a Fund are charged directly to such class. In calculating the net asset value per share of each

 

203


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)    Sun Capital Advisers Trust

 

class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day plus current day fund share activity.

t) Dividends and Distributions

The Investment Grade Bond Fund, Money Market Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund, PIMCO High Yield Fund, PIMCO Total Return Fund and BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund declare dividends from net investment income daily, if any, and pay dividends monthly. Each of the remaining Funds in the Trust declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, at least annually. Each Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for distributions from REIT securities, currency gain (loss), Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFIC’s), non-deductible 12b-1 fees, derivative transactions, TIPS adjustments and reclasses of short-term capital gains from underlying funds. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

u) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Funds invest in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

In September 2008, FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45” (the “Position”). The Position amends SFAS 133, and also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. The amendments to SFAS 133 include required disclosure for (i) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (ii) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (iii) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (iv) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. The Trust adopted the Position on December 31, 2008.

NOTE 8 — INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

NOTE 9 — CAPITAL SUPPORT AGREEMENT

On September 16, 2008, the Trust, on behalf of the Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), entered into a Capital Support Agreement, as subsequently amended (the “Agreement”), with Sun Life (U.S.), an affiliate of the Fund’s investment adviser, Sun Capital Advisers LLC, in order to prevent any losses that might be realized upon the ultimate disposition of the Fund’s investment in commercial paper issued by American General Finance Corporation (or any instrument received in exchange for such paper in an exchange offer, debt restructuring, reorganization or similar transaction, excepting only those qualifying as “Eligible Securities” as defined in paragraph (a)(10) of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, together referred to as “AGFC Commercial Paper”) from adversely affecting the Fund’s market-based net asset value. The Agreement was entered into at no cost to the Fund, and Sun Life (U.S.) is not entitled to obtain any shares or other property from the Fund in exchange for its participation in the Agreement or contributions of capital to the Fund pursuant to the Agreement.

The Agreement requires Sun Life (U.S.) to make capital contributions in cash to the Fund in amounts equal to the excess of the amortized cost value plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the AGFC Commercial Paper over the amount received by the Fund for such AGFC Commercial Paper, subject to an aggregate limit of $4.7 million plus the amount of any interest accrued in the period from October 27, 2008 to August 24, 2009, upon the occurrence of any of the following circumstances: a) sale of the AGFC Commercial Paper by the Fund for an amount less than amortized cost value; b) receipt of final payment on the AGFC Commercial Paper in an amount less than amortized cost value plus any accrued and unpaid interest; c) receipt of court-established proceeds in an amount less than amortized cost value or a court order discharging liability for payment on the AGFC Commercial Paper; and d) receipt of new securities that qualify as “Eligible Securities” in exchange for the AGFC Commercial Paper if the amortized cost of such new securities is less than the amortized cost value of the AGFC Commercial Paper. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that Sun Life (U.S.)’s commitment under the Agreement is of comparable quality to a “First Tier Security” as defined in Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.

The Fund treats amounts potentially contributable under the Agreement as an asset of the Fund in calculating its market-based net asset value (“NAV”). Until the disposition of the AGFC Commercial Paper in one of the above circumstances, such potential contributions may increase, decrease or be eliminated on any day the Fund calculates its market-based NAV per share due to changes in the market value of the AGFC Commercial Paper or other factors occurring prior to actual payment of the amount from Sun Life (U.S.) to the Fund. As of December 31, 2008, the amortized cost value of the AGFC Commercial Paper was $4,700,000, of which $4,331,943 derived from the fair value of the AGFC Commercial Paper and $368,057 derived from potential contributions under the Agreement. There were no other potentially contributable amounts under the Agreement because no accrued interest on the AGFC Commercial Paper was overdue as of December 31, 2008. The Agreement requires the Fund to sell any remaining investment in the AGFC Commercial Paper on the day preceding the Agreement’s expiration date, which will be no later than August 24, 2009.

NOTE 10 — TEMPORARY GUARANTEE PROGRAM

In October 2008, the Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) enrolled in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (“U.S. Treasury”) Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) for an initial term extending from September 19, 2008 to December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the Fund elected to participate in the extended term of the Program expiring April 30, 2009. Under the Program, the U.S. Treasury guarantees the $1.00 per share value of Fund shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008, subject to certain terms and limitations. The Program covers only the number of shares a shareholder (“Covered Shareholder”) held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the number of shares a shareholder holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. A guarantee event would occur if the Fund’s market-based net asset value per share falls below $0.995 and is not promptly cured. Upon the occurrence of a guarantee event, the Fund is required to liquidate and Covered Shareholders become entitled to receive $1.00 per “covered” share, subject to certain adjustments and to an overall limit (currently set at $50 billion) on payments available to all money market funds participating in the Program.

To participate in the Program during the initial period from September 19, 2008 to December 18, 2008, the Fund paid a fee to the U.S. Treasury equal to 0.01% of the net asset value of the Fund as of September 19, 2008. To participate in the Program during the extended period from December 19, 2008 to April 30, 2009, the Fund paid a fee to the U.S. Treasury equal to 0.015% of the net asset value of the Fund as of September 19, 2008. The Fund’s investment adviser, Sun Capital Advisers LLC, agreed to cover the cost of the fee for the initial period of participation to the extent that the Fund’s gross expenses exceeded the Fund’s contractual expense limitation, and the Fund agreed to cover the cost of the fee for the extended period of participation without application of the Fund’s contractual expense limitation.

If the U.S. Treasury extends the Program beyond April 30, 2009 to a date no later than September 18, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the Fund would again consider whether to apply to participate in the extended period. Participation in any extension of the Program would require payment of an additional fee. There can be no assurance that the Fund will elect to participate, or be eligible to participate, in any further extension of the Program.

NOTE 11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In January 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission granted a substitution order (the “Substitution Order”) that enables Sun Life (U.S.) and Sun Life (N.Y.) (together, the “Sun Life Insurance Companies”) to transfer assets into the Lord Abbett Growth & Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund and PIMCO High Yield Fund from other third-party funds that currently serve as investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance products issued by the Sun Life Insurance Companies. As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate assets to be transferred amounted to approximately $1.3 billion. In connection with the Substitution Order, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved amendments to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreements between each of Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund and PIMCO High Yield Fund (together, the “Funds”) and the Adviser resulting in a reduction in the Unified Management Fee of each of these Funds from 0.65% and 0.75% to 0.64% and 0.74%, respectively. The fee reductions will take effect upon the transfer of assets into the Funds on or about February 20, 2009.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments and the portfolios of other financial instruments, of Sun Capital Investment Grade Bond Fund, Sun Capital Money Market Fund, Sun Capital Global Real Estate Fund (formerly known as Sun Capital Real Estate Fund), SC Davis Venture Value Fund, SC Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund, SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund (formerly known as Sun Capital All Cap Fund), SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund (formerly known as SC FI Large Cap Growth Fund), SC WMC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund (formerly known as SC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund), SC Lord Abbett Growth & Income Fund, SC Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, SC Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund, SC Dreman Small Cap Value Fund, SC PIMCO High Yield Fund, SC PIMCO Total Return Fund, SC AIM Small Cap Growth Fund, SC AllianceBernstein International Value Fund, SC BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund, SC Ibbotson Moderate Fund, SC Ibbotson Balanced Fund, and SC Ibbotson Growth Fund (each a portfolio of Sun Capital Advisers Trust, the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Sun Capital Investment Grade Bond Fund, Sun Capital Money Market Fund, Sun Capital Global Real Estate Fund (formerly known as Sun Capital Real Estate Fund), SC Davis Venture Value Fund, SC Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund, SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund (formerly known as Sun Capital All Cap Fund), SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund (formerly known as SC FI Large Cap Growth Fund), SC WMC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund (formerly known as SC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund), SC Lord Abbett Growth & Income Fund, SC Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, SC Goldman Sachs Short Duration Fund, SC Dreman Small Cap Value Fund, SC PIMCO High Yield Fund, SC PIMCO Total Return Fund, SC AIM Small Cap Growth Fund, SC AllianceBernstein International Value Fund, SC BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund, SC Ibbotson Moderate Fund, SC Ibbotson Balanced Fund, and SC Ibbotson Growth Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ADVISORY CONTRACT RENEWALS & APPROVALS

Funds Having Investment Advisory and/or Subadvisory Agreements Renewed in 2008:

Sun Capital Investment Grade Bond Fund

Sun Capital Money Market Fund

Sun Capital Global Real Estate Fund

SC Davis Venture Value Fund

SC Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund

SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund

SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund

SC WMC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund

Factors Considered by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) in Renewing the Investment Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements.

The Funds’ Board approved the continuation of each above-referenced Fund’s current investment advisory agreement (including, in the case of the SC Davis Venture Value Fund, SC Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund and SC WMC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund, each such Fund’s subadvisory agreement) for an additional twelve-month period at an in-person meeting held in November 2008. The subadvisory agreements for SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund and SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund were approved separately at earlier in-person meetings of the Board in February and May of 2008, respectively. For information regarding the approval process for those subadvisory agreements, please see the Funds’ semi-annual report dated June 30, 2008.

In terms of the process that the Trustees followed prior to approving the continuation of each investment advisory and subadvisory agreement (together, the “investment advisory agreements”), Variable Contract Owners* should know that:

 

* At present, all but one of the Funds’ Trustees, including the Board’s chairman, are independent of Sun Capital Advisers LLC (“Sun Capital”), which serves as the investment adviser to each of the Funds, each subadviser, and their respective affiliates (“Independent Trustees”).

 

* In connection with the Board’s 2008 contract review, the Independent Trustees met on multiple occasions to discuss and consider contract review matters, and were advised by, and held private meetings with, their independent legal counsel.

 

* The Board engaged in a thorough review of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement(s). In this connection, the Board reviewed a wide range of materials furnished by the Sun Capital and, as applicable, each subadviser, prior to reaching these decisions.

 

* In connection with reviewing the Funds’ investment advisory agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, and servicing agreements.

In determining to approve the continuation of each investment advisory agreement, the Board considered all factors that it believed relevant to the interests of Variable Contract Owners, including but not limited to:

 

 

Fees and expenses. The investment advisory and, as applicable, investment subadvisory fee schedules for each Fund, including (i) comparative information provided by Lipper regarding investment advisory fee rates paid to other advisers by similar funds; and (ii) fee rates paid to Sun Capital and each subadviser by each Fund

 

 

* Shares of the Funds are owned by Sun Life (U.S.) and Sun Life (N.Y.) for the benefit of the owners of variable annuities and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contract Owners”) issued by Sun Life (U.S.) or Sun Life (N.Y.).

 

222


OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

 

relative to those paid by similar funds and institutional accounts advised by such firms. The Board gave a lesser weight to fees paid by similar institutional accounts advised by such firms, in light of the material differences in the scope of services typically provided to mutual funds relative to institutional accounts. In the case of each sub-advised Fund, the Board noted that the investment subadvisory fees paid to each subadviser are paid by Sun Capital out of its fee, not by the Fund. Taking into account the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee schedules in effect for each Fund represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment services being provided to such Fund.

 

 

Economies of scale. The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows. In this regard, the Board observed that the advisory fees charged to the SC Davis Venture Value Fund, SC Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund, SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund and SC Blue Chip Mid Cap Fund contain breakpoints and, accordingly, reflect the potential to share economies of scale. In addition, with respect to the SC Oppenheimer Large Cap Core Fund, Sun Capital Investment Grade Bond Fund, Sun Capital Money Market Fund and Sun Capital Global Real Estate Fund, the Board considered Sun Capital’s commitment to consider breakpoints on each such Fund to the extent any such Fund’s assets under management increase to more substantial, scaleable levels in the future. The Board concluded that each Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Variable Contract Owners and the investment advisers of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of each Fund at current asset levels.

 

 

Profitability; Other benefits to Sun Capital. The costs of the services to be provided, and profits realized, by Sun Capital and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Board observed that Sun Capital reported that it was operating several Funds at a net loss (suggesting that the adviser had assumed considerable economic risk in contracting with the Funds), and had committed to extend previously existing total operating expense caps applicable to each Fund through at least April 30, 2010. In analyzing Sun Capital’s costs and profits and its affiliates’ costs, the Board also reviewed the fees paid to and services provided by Sun Capital and its affiliates to each Fund for non-advisory services, such as distribution (including fees paid pursuant to Rule 12b-1 plans). The Board also considered other potential benefits to Sun Capital and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the role of the Funds in supporting the variable contracts issued by Sun Life (U.S.) and Sun Life (N.Y.) both of which are affiliates of Sun Capital. The Board concluded that each Fund’s investment advisory fee schedule represented reasonable compensation in light of, among other factors, the costs incurred by Sun Capital and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund.

 

 

Investment performance. The investment performance of each Fund, both absolute and relative to various benchmarks and industry peer groups, including comparative information provided by Lipper regarding each Fund’s performance relative to other similar Funds. The Board observed that the SC WMC Large Cap Growth Fund had underperformed its benchmark and peer group averages over its initial period of operation, and that during 2008 the Board approved the termination of the Fund’s initial subadviser and the retention of a new subadviser (Wellington Management Company, LLP).

 

 

Nature, quality and extent of services. The nature, scope and quality of the services that Sun Capital and each subadviser provide to the Funds. In this regard, the Board considered, among other things, Sun Capital’s and each subadviser’s personnel (including particularly those personnel with responsibilities for providing services to the Funds), resources, policies and investment processes. In addition to meeting with representatives of Sun Capital and each subadviser, the Board also considered, among other things, Sun Capital’s representation that it was satisfied with the resources, compliance program and level of commitment put forth by each subadviser and its recommendation that each subadvisory agreement be continued. The Board considered that the types of services to be provided under the investment advisory agreements were comparable to those typically found in agreements of such type. In this regard, the Board concluded that the quality and range of services provided by Sun Capital and, as applicable, each subadviser, have benefited and should continue to benefit each Fund and the Variable Contract Owners.

 

223


OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

 

Brokerage practices. The practices of Sun Capital and each subadviser regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers executing portfolio transactions for the Funds, including the brokers’ and dealers’ provision of brokerage and research services to Sun Capital and each subadviser. The Board indicated that it would continue to monitor the allocation of each Fund’s brokerage to ensure that the principle of “best price and execution” remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

 

 

Compliance. Sun Capital’s and each subadviser’s commitment to and record of compliance, including its written compliance policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board considered the adviser’s continued commitment of attention and resources to compliance functions relevant to the Funds’ operations, including the oversight of subadvisers.

After due consideration of these and other factors that it considered relevant, the Board determined to approve the continuation of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement and, as applicable, investment subadvisory agreement, and concluded that the continuation of such agreements was in the best interest of the Fund and the Variable Contract Owners.

In reaching this conclusion, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor noted above. The Board considered these factors over the course of multiple meetings, certain of which were held in executive session with only the Independent Trustees and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Trustees may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements.

SC AllianceBernstein International Value Fund

SC PIMCO Total Return Fund

SC BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund

Factors Considered by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) in Initially Approving each Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreements.

The Funds’ Board approved the initial investment advisory agreement (or investment advisory and management agreement in the cases of SC PIMCO Total Return Fund and SC BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund) and sub-advisory agreement for each Fund listed above (together, the “investment advisory agreements”) at an in-person meeting held in May 2008. In terms of the process that the Trustees followed prior to approving each of the investment advisory agreements, Variable Contract Owners* should know that:

 

* At present, all but one of the Funds’ Trustees, including the Board’s chairman, are independent of Sun Capital, each subadviser, and their respective affiliates (“Independent Trustees”).

 

* In connection with reviewing the Funds’ investment advisory agreements, the Independent Trustees met on multiple occasions to discuss and consider the proposed arrangements, and were advised by, and met privately with, their independent legal counsel.

 

 

* Shares of the Funds are owned by Sun Life (U.S.) and Sun Life (N.Y.) for the benefit of the owners of variable annuities and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contract Owners”) issued by Sun Life (U.S.) or Sun Life (N.Y.).

OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

* The Board engaged in a thorough review of each Fund’s investment advisory agreements. In this connection, the Board reviewed a wide range of materials furnished by Sun Capital and each subadviser prior to reaching these decisions.

 

* In connection with reviewing the Funds’ investment advisory agreements, the Board also reviewed the terms of the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plan, distribution agreement, and servicing agreements.

In determining to approve each Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believed relevant to the interests of the Fund and the Variable Contract Owners, including but not limited to:

 

 

Fees and expenses. The investment advisory and investment subadvisory fee schedules for each Fund, including (i) comparative information provided by Lipper regarding investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates paid to other advisers by similar funds; and (ii) as applicable, fee rates paid to Sun Capital and each subadviser by each Fund relative to those paid by similar funds and institutional accounts advised by such firms. The Board gave a lesser weight to fees paid by similar institutional accounts advised by such firms, in light of the material differences in the scope of services typically provided to mutual funds relative to institutional accounts. The Board also determined that, with respect only to SC PIMCO Total Return Fund and SC BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund, because Sun Capital is obligated to provide a broader range of services and to bear additional categories of expenses in return for the “unitary” investment management fee it will receive than would be the case under a typical investment advisory agreement, it was most appropriate to examine and compare each Fund’s total operating expense ratio relative to the total operating expense ratios of other similar funds. The Board noted that the investment subadvisory fees paid to each Fund’s subadviser will be paid by Sun Capital out of its fee, not by the Fund. Taking into account the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fee schedules for each Fund represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment services expected to be provided to each such Fund.

 

 

Economies of scale. Given the uncertainty regarding each Fund’s size and related operating costs, the Board deferred its evaluation of economies of scale to a future date.

 

 

Profitability; Other benefits to Sun Capital. Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, no information regarding Sun Capital’s costs and profits from providing investment advisory services to the Funds could be considered by the Board. The Board did review and consider the fees to be paid to and services to be provided by Sun Capital and its affiliates to each Fund for non-advisory services, such as distribution (including fees paid pursuant to Rule 12b-1 plans). The Board also considered other potential benefits to Sun Capital and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the role of the Funds in supporting the variable contracts issued by Sun Life (U.S.) and Sun Life (N.Y.), both of which are affiliates of Sun Capital. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial risk associated with launching new funds.

 

 

Investment performance. Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, no information relating to the Funds’ past performance could be considered by the Board. The Board did consider Sun Capital’s experience with overseeing the management of other funds, and each subadviser’s experience with, and performance record in, managing other similar funds and/or accounts.

 

 

Nature, quality and extent of services. The Board considered, among other things, Sun Capital’s and each subadviser’s personnel (including in particular those personnel with responsibilities for providing services to the Funds), resources, policies and investment processes. The Board also considered Sun Capital’s representation that it was satisfied with the resources, compliance program and level of commitment expected to be put forth by each subadviser and its recommendation that each subadvisory agreement be approved. The Board also considered the terms of the investment advisory agreements, including the broader scope of services and expenses to be provided and assumed under the investment advisory agreements for SC PIMCO Total Return Fund and SC BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund, as compared to typical investment advisory agreements. The Board concluded that the quality and range of services expected to be provided by Sun Capital and each subadviser should benefit each Fund and its Variable Contract Owners.

 

225


OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

 

Brokerage practices. The Board considered the practices of Sun Capital and each subadviser regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers executing portfolio transactions for the Funds, including the brokers’ and dealers’ provision of brokerage and research services to Sun Capital and each subadviser. The Board indicated that it would monitor the allocation of each Fund’s brokerage to ensure that the principle of “best price and execution” remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

 

 

Compliance. The Board considered Sun Capital’s and each subadviser’s commitment to and record of compliance, including its written compliance policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board considered Sun Capital’s continued commitment of attention and resources to compliance functions relevant to the Funds’ operations.

After due consideration of these and other factors that it considered relevant, the Board determined to approve each Fund’s investment advisory agreements, and concluded that the approval of such agreements was in the best interest of each Fund and its Variable Contract Owners.

In reaching this conclusion, the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor noted above. The Board considered these factors over the course of multiple meetings, certain of which were held in executive session with only the Independent Trustees and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Trustees may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the investment advisory agreements.
