SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

December 31, 2007

 

 

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

In the second half of 2007, the inevitable repricing of risk finally became a reality. As credit spreads widened, the financing markets seized up. It became difficult to price existing instruments and nearly impossible to issue new ones. The global equity markets experienced a significant surge in volatility and prices declined off of recent highs for the better part of a month during the third quarter and again in the fourth quarter.

November and December offered a turbulent ride for the equity markets, as the news headlines from the financial sector seemed to successively trump one another day-by-day with higher loss totals and liquidity mark-to-market charges, as the easy lending excesses unraveled with increasing speed and correlation. The repercussions reached all the way into the CEO suite for many institutions. Access to liquidity sources moved to the forefront, and those firms that needed to raise capital paid a steep price. We also witnessed a dramatic change in the private equity landscape as acquiring firms chose to walk away from deals by paying break-up fees or litigation, versus the option of closing on the deals that were negotiated months before. Indeed, this latter phenomenon served to reopen the door for strategic corporate buyers who had been shut out by the easy money competition. The Federal Reserve Bank did respond to provide liquidity, with both Fed Funds rate cuts and a novel term funds auction plan to supplement its traditional discount window availability, balancing the need to address slowing growth and inflationary pressures. Along with financials, consumer-related sectors performed the worst, particularly during the fourth quarter, as investors became more convinced that the general economy would slow from its strong first half 2007 pace. Materials and energy were the best performing sector during the period as investors embraced the benefits of global growth.

We expect that it will still take some time to fully assess the damage and that some markets will take longer to fully recover. The U.S. economy does seem to be slowing again and so a period of Fed easing does seem both necessary and welcome. As always, we believe that good stock selection is essential for sustained outperformance. Volatile periods always provide an abundance of opportunities.

Sincerely,

CRM Funds

EXPENSE DISCLOSURE (Unaudited)

 

 

 

 

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Tables below illustrate your Fund’s expenses in two ways.

 

   

Actual fund return.    The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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 the period.

 

   

Hypothetical 5% return.    The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost of investing in the Fund 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs that may be levied by other funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, if any. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses for the period indicated.

1. Description of the Funds. CRM Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”), CRM Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (“Small/Mid Cap Value Fund”), CRM Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”), CRM Large Cap Opportunity Fund (“Large Cap Opportunity Fund”) and CRM All Cap Value Fund (“All Cap Value Fund”), (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are series of CRM Mutual Fund Trust (the “Trust”). Prior to October 26, 2007, Large Cap Opportunity Fund was known as CRM Mid/Large Cap Value Fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 30, 2005.

Each Fund offers Investor and Institutional Shares. Large Cap Opportunity Fund and All Cap Value Fund also offer Advisor Shares. Effective October 26, 2007, Small/Mid Cap Value Fund no longer offers Advisor Shares. Each class has different minimum investment requirements, fees and expenses. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Institutional Shares are offered only to those investors who invest in a Fund through an intermediary (i.e. broker) or through a consultant and who invest $1,000,000 or more or where related accounts total $1,000,000 or more when combined. Investor Shares are available to all investors and are subject to a shareholder servicing fee. Advisor Shares are available to all investors and are subject to a Rule 12b-1 distribution and shareholder servicing fee.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Security Valuation. The Funds value their assets based on current market values when such values are available. These prices normally are supplied by a pricing service.

In valuing a Fund’s assets, a security listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (and not sub- ject to restrictions against sale by the Fund on the Exchange) will be valued at its last sale price on the Exchange on the day the security is valued. Lacking any sales on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the closing asked price and the closing bid price. Securities listed on other exchanges (and not subject to restriction against sale by the Fund on such exchanges) will be similarly valued, using quotations on the exchange on which the security is traded most extensively. Unlisted securities that are quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, for which there have been sales of such securities on such day, shall be valued at the last sale price reported on such system on the day the security is valued. If there are no such sales on such day, the value shall be the mean between the closing asked price and the closing bid price. The value of such secu- rities quoted on the Stock Market System, but not listed on the National Market System, shall be valued at the mean between the closing asked price and the closing bid price. Unlisted securities that are not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available will be valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices for such security in the over-the-counter market. Short- term investments with remaining maturities of less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost.

Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”). The Trustees have delegated to Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC (“CRM”), the Funds’ investment adviser, the authority to approve fair value determinations in any situation that would impact a Fund’s NAV by less than a penny per share. If the proposed valuation would impact a Fund’s NAV by more than a penny per share, then the Board is respon-

sible for determining an appropriate price. In using fair value pricing, a Fund attempts to establish the price that it might reasonably have expected to receive upon a sale of the security at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes and intends to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision has been made.

Effective December 31, 2007, the Funds adopted 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 Trust’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. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in the recording of any tax benefit or expense.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Each Fund uses the specific identification method for determining realized gains and losses on investments for both financial and Federal income tax reporting purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes the amortization of premium and the accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds record expenses as incurred. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated on a pro-rata basis among the Funds based on relative net assets.

Class Accounting. In calculating the NAV per share for each 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.

Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, will be declared and paid annually.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in con- formity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates. CRM serves as investment adviser to the Funds. CRM receives an advisory fee from Small Cap Value Fund, Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Large Cap Opportunity Fund of 0.75% of each Fund’s first $1 billion of average daily net assets; 0.70% of each Fund’s next $1 billion of average daily net assets; and 0.65% of each Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. For its advisory services to All Cap Value Fund, CRM receives 0.95% for the first $1 billion of average daily net assets; 0.90% of the next $1 billion of average daily net assets; and 0.85% in excess of $2 billion of average daily net assets.

CRM has contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse certain operating expenses of each Fund (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and interest) in an amount that will limit annual operating expenses to not more than 1.50%, 1.25% and 1.75% of average daily net assets for the Investor Class, Institutional Class and Advisor Class, respectively. These undertakings will remain in place until November 1, 2010 for Small Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Opportunity Fund and All Cap Value Fund and until November 1, 2008 for Small/Mid Cap Value Fund. From time to time, CRM may agree to waive its fees to lower the annual operating expenses beyond the ones contractually agreed upon. Effective March 29, 2007, CRM voluntarily agreed to cap the annual expense ratio of Small/Mid Cap Value Fund not to exceed 1.35% and 1.10% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively; and the expense ratio of Large Cap Opportunity Fund not to exceed 1.40%, 1.15% and 1.65% for the Investor Class, Institutional Class and Advisor Class, respectively. These voluntary caps may be increased or terminated at any time.

CRM provides compliance services to the Funds. The Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) is an employee of CRM. The Funds are responsible for reimbursing CRM for the portion of his salary allocated to his duties as the CCO of the Funds at a rate of $75,000 per year.

Compensation of Trustees and Officers. Except for the CCO of the Funds, trustees and officers of the Funds who are interested persons of CRM, as defined in the 1940 Act, receive no compensation from the Funds.

Trustees of the Funds who are not interested persons of CRM, as defined in the 1940 Act (each an “Independent Trustee”), receive compensation and reimbursement of expenses. Each Independent Trustee receives aggregate annual compensation in the amount of $40,000 from the Trust. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) adopted August 12, 2005, an Independent Trustee may elect to defer receipt of all, or a portion, of his annual compensation. Deferred amounts credited to an Independent Trustee’s deferral account are treated as though such amounts have been invested and reinvested in Institutional Shares of one or more of the Funds until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan. Trustees’ fees reflected in the accompanying financial statements include total compensation earned, whether elected to be paid in cash or deferred under the Plan.

Shareholder Servicing Fees. The Board has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan which allows each Fund to obtain, for its Investor Shares, the services of CRM and other qualified financial institutions to act as shareholder servicing agents for its shareholders. Under the plan, each Fund may pay shareholder servicing agents, including CRM, monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Investor Shares.

Distribution Fees. The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act authorizing each Fund to pay fees for the sale and distribution of its Advisor Shares, and for services provided to Advisor Shares shareholders to maintain shareholder accounts. Under the Distribution Plan, each Fund may pay monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Shares. Currently, only the Large Cap Opportunity Fund and All Cap Value Fund offer Advisor Shares. No fees were paid under the Distribution Plan for the semi-annual period ended December 31, 2007.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. Institutional Shares of each Fund are sold through certain Intermediaries that provide accounting, recordkeeping, and/or other services to shareholders. The Board of Trustees has approved payment of the fees charged by these Intermediaries for providing these sub-transfer agency services from the assets of the Institutional Shares of each Fund provided these fees do not exceed the charges the Fund would bear for these services if they were provided directly by the Funds’ transfer agent. CRM, as the Funds’ agent, remits these payments to the Intermediaries. In some cases, where the sub-transfer agency fees of an Intermediary are greater than the amounts paid to CRM by the Funds for that Intermediary, CRM may pay the balance of those fees itself.

5. Securities Lending Agreement. The Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with PFPC Trust Company. Security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required at all times to be secured by cash collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received, pursuant to investment guidelines established by the Funds and approved by the Board of Trustees, is invested in short-term fixed income securities rated in the highest rating category by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (or of comparable quality if unrated) with a maturity date of 397 days or less, including corporate obligations and money market mutual funds. All such investments are made at the risk of the Funds and, as such, the Funds are liable for investment losses. PFPC Trust Company and the borrower retain a portion of the earnings from the collateral investments, with the remainder being retained by the Fund. The Funds record securities lending income net of such allocations. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, PFPC Trust Company has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Funds, or at its discretion, replace the loaned securities. In the event of default or bankruptcy by PFPC Trust Company, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

7. Federal Tax Information. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and realized gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, net short-term realized gains are treated as “ordinary income” for tax purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification.

DISCUSSION OF BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH CRM

 

 

 

 

At meetings held on November 27, 2007, the Trustees Committee and Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) considered the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and CRM with respect to CRM 130/30 Value Fund.

In determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to CRM 130/30 Value Fund, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, reviewed and considered, among other items: (1) a memorandum from counsel setting forth the Board’s fiduciary duties under the 1940 Act and Delaware law and the factors the Board should consider in its evaluation of the Investment Advisory Agreement; and (2) a report based on information provided by Morningstar and on information available in public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission comparing CRM 130/30 Value Fund’s proposed advisory fee and anticipated expenses to those of other mutual funds managed utilizing a 130/30 investment strategy. The Board also discussed and considered, with the assistance of independent counsel, reports of and presentations by CRM that described: (i) the nature, extent and quality of CRM’s services provided to the other series of the Trust and proposed to be provided to CRM 130/30 Value Fund; (ii) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing those services; (iii) CRM’s investment philosophies and processes; (iv) CRM’s assets under management; (v) CRM’s soft dollar commission and trade allocation policies, including information on the types of research and services obtained in connection with soft dollar commissions; (vi) the proposed advisory fee arrangements with CRM; (vii) CRM’s compliance procedures; and (viii) an analysis of the expected profits of CRM related to its proposed services to CRM 130/30 Value Fund.

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors, none of which was determinative or controlling, and reached the following conclusions in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to CRM 130/30 Value Fund:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided

The Board examined the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CRM to the other series of the Trust, and the quality and size of CRM’s professional portfolio management team. The Board considered CRM’s capabilities and experience in the development and implementation of its proprietary value-oriented investment process. The Board also considered CRM’s compliance programs and compliance record, and the Board’s dealings with CRM. Based on the foregoing, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by CRM to CRM 130/30 Value Fund.

Fees and Expenses

In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered the fees and expenses to be paid by each class of CRM 130/30 Value Fund.

The Board considered that, unlike other mutual funds being managed utilizing a quantitative 130/30 investment strategy, CRM proposed to manage CRM 130/30 Value Fund utilizing its proprietary research-driven value-oriented investment philosophy. The Board considered the extensive research and analysis CRM proposed to conduct in order to identify compelling investment opportunities for CRM 130/30 Value Fund. The Board noted that CRM relied heavily on its own proprietary research to successfully implement its value-oriented investment philosophy, and that the cost of preparing this research was significant. Accordingly, CRM’s reliance on this

proprietary research might cause CRM’s research costs to exceed those of some other investment managers that largely rely upon research prepared by third parties, especially with larger cap companies, for which a good deal of third party research is available. The Board considered that CRM’s distinctive value-oriented investment philosophy had demonstrated its worth in the mutual fund context. The Board also considered the additional research, execution and risk management costs related to the short selling component of CRM 130/30 Value Fund’s investment strategy. The Board concluded that the costs of CRM’s proprietary research and the demonstrated long-term success of its distinctive investment philosophy may justify an investment advisory fee that is higher than the advisory fees paid by other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies, and particularly mutual funds managed using a quantitative 130/30 investment approach.

The Board also compared the fees and expenses paid by each class of CRM 130/30 Value Fund with the fees and expenses paid by other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

The Board noted that, based on the information provided, the proposed investment advisory fee for CRM 130/30 Value Fund was higher than the advisory fees paid by other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The Board also noted that the proposed advisory fee for CRM 130/30 Value Fund was higher than the advisory fees being paid by CRM Small Cap Value Fund, CRM Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, CRM Mid Cap Value Fund, CRM Large Cap Opportunity Fund and CRM All Cap Value Fund. The Board considered the additional work and analysis required to identify investments for the short selling component of CRM 130/30 Value Fund’s investment strategy, the participation of CRM’s most experienced investment personnel in managing CRM 130/30 Value Fund, and the additional execution and risk management costs of managing CRM 130/30 Value Fund utilizing its 130/30 value investment strategy as compared to CRM’s traditional long-only investment strategy, would support charging a higher than average investment advisory fee.

The Board noted that, based on the information provided, the estimated annual operating expenses of each of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares of CRM 130/30 Value Fund, both before and after taking into account amounts proposed to be waived under a contractual expense limitation agreement between CRM and the Trust, were somewhat higher than the gross and net expenses paid by other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The Board considered that the higher net expense ratios for each class of shares of CRM 130/30 Value Fund were in large measure the result of having a higher than average investment advisory fee.

Conclusion as to Fees and Expenses

In view of the costs of CRM’s proprietary research and the additional research, execution and risk management costs of managing CRM 130/30 Value Fund utilizing its 130/30 value investment strategy, the demonstrated long-term success of CRM’s value-oriented investment philosophy and the comparative fee and expense information presented at the meeting, the Board determined that the proposed investment advisory fee for CRM 130/30 Value Fund and the estimated annual operating expenses of each class of CRM 130/30 Value Fund were reasonable as compared to the fees paid by other mutual funds as presented in the materials, and supported approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to CRM 130/30 Value Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that unlike the other CRM Funds, the proposed investment advisory fee for CRM 130/30 Value Fund did not contain breakpoints that reduce the investment advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Board determined that it would defer considering whether it would be appropriate to add breakpoints to the fee schedule of CRM 130/30 Value Fund so as to enable Fund investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale as CRM 130/30 Value Fund grows until CRM 130/30 Value Fund has grown sufficiently to warrant such a discussion.

Profitability

The Board analyzed CRM’s expected profits in relation to CRM 130/30 Value Fund and considered the methodology used by CRM in preparing the profitability information. The Board determined that, based on the information provided, the expected profit to CRM on the fees paid by CRM 130/30 Value Fund was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided.

Other Benefits

The Board considered the other benefits which CRM may receive from its relationship with CRM 130/30 Value Fund. They noted that it was proposed that CRM act as the shareholder servicing agent for Investor Shares of CRM 130/30 Value Fund and receive fees under a shareholder service plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act in connection with the services CRM provides or arranges as CRM 130/30 Value Fund’s shareholder servicing agent. The Board considered the fees anticipated to be received by CRM under the shareholder service plan, and the amounts anticipated to be paid by CRM to third party shareholder servicing agents. The Board noted that the amounts paid to the third party shareholder servicing agents of the other series of the Trust since the inception of the Trust exceeded the shareholder servicing fees paid by Investor Shares of such portfolios to CRM under the shareholder servicing plan and that CRM expected this to be the case for CRM 130/30 Value Fund as well. The Board considered how CRM uses soft dollars and the ways in which it proposes to conduct portfolio transactions and select brokers for CRM 130/30 Value Fund. The Board determined that any other benefits to be derived by CRM from managing CRM 130/30 Value Fund were reasonable and reflected in the fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

General Conclusion

Based on the foregoing considerations, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of CRM 130/30 Value Fund and its shareholders, concluded that the proposed fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to CRM 130/30 Value Fund are fair and reasonable, and concluded that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of CRM 130/30 Value Fund and its shareholders.
