Letter to Shareholders
 
 
Dear Shareholders,
 
This Semi-Annual Report covers the period from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 (the “Semi-Annual Period”). During the Semi-Annual Period, the broad equity markets continued to deliver strong returns, as the S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average Index increased 6.96% and 8.76%, respectively, on a total return basis. Gains in the equity markets were fueled by strong corporate earnings and a sustained level of global merger and acquisition activity. However, on February 27th, a sell-off in China sparked a global decline that led to the largest one-day percentage decline in the S&P 500 Index since March 24th, 2003. Despite the sharp declines in February, the strength of the market led to positive Index returns over the course of the Semi-Annual Period.
 
A flight to quality, in light of the February sell-off, increased volatility in the equity markets and inflation at the higher end of the target range, resulted in the benchmark 10-Year Note moving from 4.7% at the beginning of the period, reaching a high of 5.3% in early June, and ending the period around 5%. The High Yield market continued to deliver positive returns through May. However, this same market experienced a challenging period in the month of June due to pricing pressure related to sub-prime matters in the broad market, a large new issue calendar, increased interest rates and a decline in general equity markets at the end of the Semi-Annual Period.
 
The Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund, Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund had a total return of 4.4%, (.45)% and (0.18)%, respectively, over the course of the Semi-Annual Period.
 
As always, we thank you for using Direxion Funds and we look forward to our mutual success.
 
-s- Todd Kellerman

Expense Example
 
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
 
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period (January 1, 2007 – June 30, 2007).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transactions fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks or stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses or other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as wire transfers, returned checks or stop payment orders. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The tables below do not reflect any fees and expenses imposed under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Contracts”) and certain qualified pension and retirement plans (“Plans”), which would increase overall fees and expenses. Please refer to your Contract or Plan Prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

Direxion Insurance Trust
(Formerly Potomac Insurance Trust)
 
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Direxion Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 28, 1999 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series presently in operation are the Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund, the Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund (formerly the Evolution VP Managed Equity Fund), and the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a “non-diversified” series of the Trust pursuant to the 1940 Act. The Trust offers shares to unaffiliated life insurance separate accounts (registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act) to fund the benefits under variable annuity and variable life contracts. The Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund commenced operations on July 1, 2004. The Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund commenced operations on February 1, 2005.
 
The objective of the Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund is to seek the highest appreciation on an annual basis consistent with a high tolerance for risk by investing at least 80% of its assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities indirectly through securities that invest in or are a derivative of fixed-income securities, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies (collectively, fixed-income securities). The objective of the Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund is to seek the highest appreciation on an annual basis consistent with a high tolerance for risk by investing at least 80% of its assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in equity securities either directly through individual stocks and American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) or indirectly through securities that invest in or are a derivative of equity securities. The objective of the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund is to maximize total return (income plus capital appreciation) by investing primarily in debt instruments, including convertible securities, and derivatives of such instruments, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt instruments.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
a) Investment Valuation – Equity securities, OTC securities, swap agreements, closed-end investment companies, options, futures, and options on futures are valued at their last sales price, or if not available, the average of the last bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Short-term debt securities with a maturity of 60 days or less and money market securities are valued using the amortized cost method. Other debt securities are valued by using the closing bid and asked prices provided by the Funds’ pricing service or, if such services are unavailable, by a pricing matrix method. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, the Funds’ pricing service does not provide a valuation for such securities, the Funds’ pricing service provides valuation that in the judgment of Rafferty Asset Managements, LLC (the “Adviser”) does not represent fair value, or the Fund or Adviser believes the market price is stale will be fair valued as determined by the Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
 
b) Repurchase Agreements – Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. government securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Fund receives, as collateral, cash and/or securities (primarily U.S. government securities) whose market value,


26


 

including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 100% of the amount invested by the Fund in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
 
c) Swap Contracts – Each Fund may enter into equity swap contacts. Standard swap contracts are between two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross amount to be exchanged is calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e. the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or industry sector). The Fund’s obligations are accrued daily (offset by any amounts owed to the funds.)
 
In a “long” swap agreement, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Funds the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of swap contract would have increased in value if the Funds had been invested in the particular securities, plus dividends that would have been received on those securities. The Funds will agree to pay the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap contract plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such securities plus, in certain instances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amounts. Thus, the return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. Swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities or other underlying securities. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s obligations over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets, having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian. Until a swap contract is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Funds on the notional amount are recorded as “unrealized gains or losses on swaps and futures” and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swaps and futures.” Swap contracts are collateralized by the securities and cash of each particular Fund.
 
Each Fund may enter into swap contracts that provide the opposite return of the particular benchmark or security (“short” the index or security). The operations are similar to that of the swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to the Fund on the notional amount outstanding and the dividends on the underlying securities reduce the value of the swap, plus, in certain instances, the Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. These amounts are netted with any unrealized appreciation or depreciation to determine the value of the swap.
 
The Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund may enter into credit default swaps. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a referenced entity, typically corporate issues on its obligation. The stream of payments is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and adjusted to include up-front payments recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on swaps, and/or interest associated with the agreement until the swap is sold or expires, at which point it is recognized as a component of realized gain or loss. The Fund may use the swaps to attempt to gain exposure to debt securities without actually purchasing those securities or to hedge a position. The Fund may purchase credit protection on the referenced entity of the credit default swap (“Buy Contract”) or provide credit protection on the referenced entity of the credit default swap (“Sale Contract”). If a credit event occurs, the maximum payout amount for a sale contract is limited to the notional amount of the swap contract (“Maximum Payout Amount”). Maximum Payout Amounts could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event.
 
Swap contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and exposure to loss in excess of the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total investment exposure that each Fund has under the swap contract. The primary risks associated with the use of swap agreements are imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying securities and the


27


 

inability of counterparties to perform. A Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap contract in the event of default or bankruptcy of a swap contract counterparty.
 
d) Concentration of Risk – Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund invests in the Dow Jones CDX High Yield Note (“CDX”) and TRAINS (Targeted Return Securities Trust) High Yield Notes (“TRAINS”), which represent trusts of pooled investments. The TRAINS invest in a portfolio of high-yield debt securities, rated below investment grade and therefore have greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations. The high yield debt securities are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer thereof. Upon a downgrade of an underlying securities rating to a specified level, the TRAINS may distribute the respective security on a pro-rata basis to the respective holders. The TRAINS may also invest in one or more interest rate swap or other swap transactions.
 
The CDX invests in a portfolio of credit default swap agreements and a repurchase agreement. Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to pay/receive a fixed interest rate in exchange for receipt/payment of the referenced obligation if a credit event affecting the referenced obligation occurs. The CDX is providing credit protection to the counterparties of the respective credit default swap agreements in exchange for a fixed interest rate payment, therefore there is credit risk with respect to the referenced entities of these credit default swap agreements. If a credit event occurs to a referenced entity, the Fund’s principal amount in the CDX will be reduced by its pro-rata interest in the respective credit default swap agreement. A credit event may include a failure to pay interest or principal, bankruptcy, or restructuring. Any recoverable amounts of the liquidation of the referenced obligation will be allocated pro rata to the holders of the CDX.
 
e) Short Positions – Each Fund may engage in short sale transactions. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of short positions may require purchasing the securities at prices which may differ from the market value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is liable to the buyer for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. As collateral for its short positions, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities equal to the market value of the securities sold short. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily.
 
f) Risks of Options, Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts and Short Positions – The risks inherent in the use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and short positions include 1) adverse changes in the value of such instruments; 2) imperfect correlation between the price of options and futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the price of the underlying securities, index or futures contracts; 3) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time; 4) the possible need to defer closing out certain positions to avoid adverse tax consequences; and 5) the possible nonperformance by the counterparty under the terms of the contract. The Funds designate all cash, cash equivalents and liquid securities as collateral for written options, futures contracts and short positions.
 
g) Security Transactions – Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes, with the net sales proceeds.
 
h) Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
 
i) Income and Expenses – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds are charged for those expenses


28


 

that are directly attributable to each series, such as Advisory fees and registration costs. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a series are generally allocated among the Trust’s series in proportion to their respective net assets.
 
j) Distributions to Shareholders – Each Fund generally pays dividends from net investment income and distributes 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

  $ 115,632     $ 2,236,413     $ 657,710  
                         
 
*Includes tax swap adjustments.
 
The difference between book cost of investments and tax cost of investments is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.


29


 

k) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
 
3.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

During the period ended June 30, 2007, the aggregate purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) for each Funds were as follows:
 
                         
    Evolution VP Managed
    Evolution VP All-Cap
    Dynamic VP HY
 
    Bond Fund     Equity Fund     Bond Fund

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government Securities during the period ended June 30, 2007 for any of the Funds.
 
The Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund had post October losses (“POL”), capital losses incurred between October 31st and December 31st, of $56,830. The Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund had POL of $486. The Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund had POL of $68,355.

At December 31, 2006, the following funds had capital loss carryforwards on a tax basis of:
 
                 
    Capital Loss
       
    Carryforwards     Expires  
 
Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund
  $ (143,203 )     12/31/13

Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund
    (756,247 )     12/31/13  
      (304,289 )     12/31/14  
 
Net investment income and realized gains and losses for federal income tax purposes may differ from that reported on the financial statements because of permanent book-to-tax differences.

At December 31, 2006 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following adjustments were made for permanent tax adjustments:
 
                         
    Accumulated
             
    Net
    Undistributed Net
       
    Realized
    Investment
       
    Gain/(Loss)     Income/(Loss)     Paid-in Capital  
 
Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund
  $ (59,134 )   $ 59,134     $

    1,224       (1,226 )     2  
Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund
    (305,305 )     305,305        
 
Differences are primarily due to income tax treatment of certain security investments.
 
5.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
 
The Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. The Adviser receives a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rates presented below as applied to each Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement related to the Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and the Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund with Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd., whereby the sub-adviser will direct investment activities of the Funds. The Adviser pays, out of the management fees it receives from the Funds, a fee for these sub-advisory services. Prior to July 1, 2006, the Adviser entered into a sub-advisory agreement related to the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund. Effective July 1, 2006, the sub-advisory agreement was terminated. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to pay all operating expenses (excluding dividends on short positions), in excess of the annual cap on expenses presented below as applied to the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund’s average daily net assets. Because this is a voluntary waiver, the Adviser may change or end the waiver at any time. With respect to the Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and the Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed to pay all operating expenses (excluding dividends on short positions), in excess of the annual cap on expenses presented below as applied to each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser may recover from the Funds the expenses paid in excess of the


31


 

annual cap on expenses for the three previous years, as long as the recovery does not cause the Fund to exceed such annual cap on expenses. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the Adviser paid or recouped the following expenses:
 
                         
    Evolution VP Managed
    Evolution VP All-Cap
    Dynamic VP HY
 
    Bond Fund     Equity Fund     Bond Fund  
 
Annual Advisory rate
    1.00%       1.00%       0.75%  
Annual cap on expenses
    2.00%       2.00%       1.75%  
Expenses paid in excess of annual cap on expenses — 2007
  $ 26,938     $     $  
Adviser expense waiver recovery — 2007
  $     $ 10,616     $  
 
Remaining expenses subject to potential recovery expiring in:
 
                         
    Evolution VP Managed
    Evolution VP All-Cap
    Dynamic VP HY
 
    Bond Fund     Equity Fund     Bond Fund  
 
2007
  $ 53,095     $ 47,757     $

    26,938              
                         
Total
  $ 190,350     $ 131,235     $  
                         
 
Shares of the Evolution VP Managed Bond and the Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Funds are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% of Fund’s average daily net assets. The shares of the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.60% of Fund’s average daily net assets. The Rule 12b-1 fees are to pay the insurance company of the plan sponsor for its services for servicing shareholder accounts. Because the fees are paid out of each Fund’s net assets on an ongoing basis, the cost of an investment in a Fund will increase over time.
 
The Adviser paid directly all offering costs and organizational expenses associated with the registration and seeding of each Fund.
 
Rafferty Capital Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as principal underwriter of the Funds and acts as the Funds’ distributor in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. During the period ended June 30, 2007, Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund incurred expenses of $130,889 under Rule 12b-1, of which $32,722 was waived by the Distributor. There were no 12b-1 fees retained by the Distributor for the period ended June 30, 2007. The fee is paid to the Distributor for expenses incurred for distribution-related activities. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Funds agree to indemnify third parties upon occurrence of specified events. The Fund’s maximum exposure relating to these indemnification agreements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses in connection with these provisions and believe the risk of loss is remote.
 
6.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In July, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in fund NAV calculations as late as the fund’s last NAV calculation in the first


32


 

required financial statement reporting period. Management has evaluated the impact of FIN 48 and has determined there is no material impact to the financial statements.
 
In September 2006, FASB issued its new Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier adoption is permitted. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Investment Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements Approvals (Unaudited)
 
 
Provided below is a summary of certain of the factors the Board considered at the August 15, 2007 Board meeting in approving: (1) the Advisory Agreement between Rafferty Asset Management (“Rafferty”) and the Direxion Insurance Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund, Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust; and (2) the Subadvisory Agreement between Rafferty and Flexible Plan Investments, Inc. (the “Subadviser” or “Flexible”) on behalf of the Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund (collectively, the “Evolution Funds”).
 
The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.
 
In determining whether to approve the continuance of the Agreements, the Board considered the best interests of each Fund separately. In addition, while the Agreements for the Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Board considered each Fund’s investment advisory and subadvisory relationships separately. In each instance, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of each Fund; (3) the cost to Rafferty or the Subadviser for providing services and the profitability of the advisory business to Rafferty or the Subadviser, if such information was provided; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting the fee schedule; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; and (6) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Rafferty or the Subadviser from its relationship with the Funds.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided under the Advisory Agreement by Rafferty. The Board noted that Rafferty has provided services to the Funds since their inception and has significant investment experience. The Board also noted that Rafferty attempts to trade efficiently with low commission schedules, which helps improve performance results. The Board considered Rafferty’s representation that it has the financial resources and appropriate staffing to manage the Funds. The Board also considered Rafferty’s ability to adopt and implement compliance and control functions for the Funds and noted that information concerning portfolio management and a report from the chief compliance officer are provided on a periodic basis to the Board. The Board also considered Rafferty’s ability to increase assets of the Trust complex. The Board also considered that Rafferty oversees all aspects of the operation of the Funds, including oversight of the Subadviser.
 
Regarding the Subadvisory Agreement with Flexible, the Board noted that the primary role of Flexible is to provide an investment program for the Evolution Funds. The Board also noted that there would be no change in the services provided by Flexible.
 
Based on these and other considerations, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Rafferty to the Funds under the Agreement and Flexible under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement were fair and reasonable.
 
Performance of the Funds.  The Board noted that Rafferty began directly managing the Dynamic VP HY Bond Fund’s assets on July 1, 2006. The Board evaluated the performance of the Fund to market indices for the period ending August 15, 2007. Also, with respect to the Evolution VP Managed Bond Fund and the Evolution VP All-Cap Equity Fund, the Board evaluated the performance of the Funds to market indices for the period ending August 15, 2007.
 
Costs of Services Provided to the Funds and Profits Realized.  The Board considered the overall fees paid to Rafferty on an annual basis since each Fund’s commencement of operations, including any fee waivers and recoupment of fees previously waived. The Board also noted that Rafferty charges similar fees to other comparable client accounts. In considering the fees paid or to be paid by Rafferty to Flexible, the Board considered that the fees are higher than the industry average. The Board also noted that Rafferty negotiated the lowest fee Flexible charges for comparable client accounts. In addition, Rafferty also negotiated breakpoints in subadvisory fees with Flexible. In considering the


34


 

profitability of Rafferty, the Board considered the overall profitability of Rafferty’s investment business and its representation that it does not assess profitability with respect to its services to individual Funds. In considering the profitability of Flexible, the Board considered Flexible’s representation that it did not earn pre- or post-tax profits on its services to the Evolution Funds.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the costs of the services provided and the profits realized under the Agreements were fair and reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale.  The Board considered Rafferty’s representation that it believes that asset levels at this time are not sufficient to warrant a reduction in fee rates or the addition of breakpoints. Based on these and other considerations, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the reduction in fee rates or additions of breakpoints were not necessary at this time.
 
Other Benefits.  The Board considered Rafferty’s representation that its relationship with the Funds has permitted Rafferty to attract business to its other client accounts. The Board also considered that Rafferty’s overall business with brokerage firms due to both the Funds and other client accounts help lower commission rates and provide better execution for Fund portfolio transactions. The Board also considered that Flexible has greater access to certain trust platforms due to its subadvisory services to the Evolution Funds. Based on these and other considerations, the Board determined that, in the exercise of its business judgment, the benefits to Rafferty and Flexible were fair and reasonable.
 
Conclusion.  Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board determined that the Agreements for the Funds were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed, fees, expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgment. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the continuance of the Agreements.
