BEH President, The Roxbury Funds DEAR SHAREHOLDER: What a difference a year makes! In our last annual report, I wrote about the excellent market environment for equities and noted that one of the biggest worries for investors was oil trading at a seemingly expensive $70 a barrel. Since then, we have suffered one of the worst housing downturns in generations, a credit crisis of unprecedented proportions, skyrocketing commodity prices, record foreclosures, and oil above $140 a barrel. If I had predicted any of these events when I penned my previous letter, especially the idea that oil would double from prior high levels, you probably would have thought I was crazy. Yet, that's exactly what happened. Not surprisingly, this barrage of negative news has led to incredible market volatility, particularly since the beginning of 2008. It's always difficult for equities to make progress in the face of higher energy prices, as this raises production costs, takes money out of consumer wallets, and negatively impacts profitability. But when you add in the additional challenges that have been thrown at the market all at once, it's amazing how resilient stocks have been. For the 12 month period ended June 30, 2008, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 13.12%, the Russell Midcap(R) Growth Index lost 6.20%, and the Russell 2000(R) Growth Index was down 10.73%. Negative numbers, for sure. But these are relatively mild losses considering the overall landscape. What's more, the market has made great progress over the past three and five years, with both The Roxbury Small-Cap Growth and Roxbury Mid-Cap Funds posting respectable positive absolute returns. Without question, a primary culprit of the current market malaise is inflation--or at least the fear that it is reemerging. We've all been feeling the effects of rising prices for everything from food to gasoline and even health care. While government statistics say inflation is rising at a 3% to 4% rate, most in the "real world" would argue the actual number is double that. In fact, a recent Morgan Stanley survey shows that 50 countries around the globe, with a total of 3 billion people, are experiencing inflation rates of 10% or more. The financial, housing, and consumer discretionary sectors have been in particular distress. While it's impossible to predict how long this will continue, consider this: From 2002 to 2007, home equity extraction, as determined by Freddie Mac, averaged $52 billion per quarter, up from $6 billion through the 1990s. This suggests that, if home prices continue to fall, the subsequent recovery is likely to take some time. That said, there is plenty to be optimistic about. Indeed, Roxbury portfolio managers report finding compelling opportunities in many different areas. It is during challenging times like this that you often make the most long-term money. So, while the near-term might be frustrating, the outlook for investors remains very bright. We appreciate the trust you have placed in us to manage your assets.

Beh Brian C. Beh President The Roxbury Funds THE ABOVE COMMENTS REFLECT THE INVESTMENT ADVISER'S VIEWS GENERALLY REGARDING THE MARKET AND THE ECONOMY, WERE CURRENT AS OF THE DATE OF THIS LETTER, AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME. 3 SMALL-CAP GROWTH ROXBURY SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT REVIEW The real story for the stock market over the past year can be boiled down to just one word: oil. Energy was by far the best performing sector in the Russell 2000(R) Growth Index, rising nearly 47%. By contrast, every other sector, with the exception of utilities, was down. As a result, if you owned anything apart from oil and commodities, you had little chance of even coming close to the benchmark. Despite the huge rise in energy, the Russell 2000(R) Growth Index actually dropped 10.73% over the past twelve months. Given our relative underweighting in oil-related names, Institutional Shares of The Roxbury Small-Cap Growth Fund were down 18.07% for the period ended June 30, 2008. At the same time, volatility has been intense. We have entered a headline-driven market that seems to get either spooked or excited by every piece of news, good or bad. In fact, it's not unusual for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to gyrate hundreds of points in both directions in a single day. Market movements have largely been dictated by the price of oil. As oil goes up, the broad market tends to fall. Higher energy prices certainly have an impact, by increasing production costs and reducing profitability. At the same time, rising prices at the pump leave fewer dollars in consumer wallets. This helps to explain the poor performance of many consumer discretionary businesses. Financial stocks have also taken it on the chin, as worries persist about the health of the economy and our financial system. Odds are the upward trajectory in commodities will weaken, given the stunning rise in such a short time. In our view, any return to normalcy in oil will lead to a strong rally for equities. We also believe we are closer to the end than the beginning of the credit crisis. The Fund's best performing holding over the past year was Energy Conversion Devices. This maker of thin-film solar laminates for converting sunlight to energy jumped 139% after reporting strong earnings. Shares of Illumina, a developer of technology and kits for genetic research, also more than doubled after providing increased earnings guidance. Among our weakest contributors was Inverness Medical Innovations, a manufacturer and marketer of agents for use in women's health, cardiology, and infectious diseases. The company fell after announcing what investors viewed as a costly acquisition of Matria Healthcare. Shares of metal building components manufacturer NCI Building Systems were also weak, after the company missed its numbers in the face of weakness in the non-residential construction area. While this is a difficult and frustrating market, we continue to stick to our discipline and remain cautiously optimistic. Our portfolio companies are well positioned to meet expectations and valuations are compelling. That, to us, creates a recipe for a much brighter outlook going in to 2009.

By far the biggest headwind was skyrocketing commodity prices. Indeed, despite a negative return of 6.20% for the Russell Midcap(R) Growth Index, energy stocks skyrocketed more than 52%. With the exception of fractional gains for both materials and utilities, every other sector was down during the period. Although the Fund's energy exposure actually outperformed the index (up 58%), we had a much smaller weighting in this area relative to the benchmark. That's largely because such companies rarely fit in with our strict valuation criteria. In turn, Investor Shares of the Fund were down 15.48% over the past 12 months. The Fund benefited most from the solid performance of its healthcare stocks. Our consumer discretionary holdings also did better than the index. In addition to not owning many commodity-related companies, disappointments from some financial and technology holdings detracted from overall returns. As we previously informed you, we took over management of the Fund last January. We follow a disciplined, patient, and consistent process for growing your capital. Specifically, we look for companies with sustainable competitive advantages and an ability to earn returns in excess of the cost of capital over various economic cycles. We prefer to invest in companies that are taking market share, have strong balance sheets, generate consistent free cash flow, and are trading at a discount to intrinsic value. We believe that this approach, combined with our three- to five-year outlook, will allow us to maximize value for you, our shareholders, over time. Recent additions to the Fund include coffee powerhouse Starbucks (which is in the midst of a corporate-wide restructuring), wireless communication tower owner and operator SBA Communications, mortgage and business information provider The First American Corporation, and Florida real estate investment company Consolidated-Tomoka. We continue to execute on our strategy of seeking those wide-moat companies capable of managing through a variety of economic environments. By "wide moat," we mean businesses boasting strong competitive advantages operating in industries with large barriers to entry. We are finding many compelling opportunities to own first class enterprises at significant margins of safety and remain positive on the prospects for long-term equity investors.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur transaction costs, such as redemption fees, and ongoing costs, including management 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 costs in two ways. o ACTUAL FUND RETURN. The first line of each 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. o HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN. The second line of each 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 costs 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, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, if any. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs 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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS. Roxbury Small-Cap Growth Fund ("Small-Cap Growth Fund") and Roxbury Mid-Cap Fund ("Mid-Cap Fund") (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are series of The Roxbury Funds (the "Trust"). 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 April 4, 2006. The fiscal year end for the Funds is June 30th. Effective as of the close of business on February 2, 2007, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, each Fund received all of the assets and liabilities of the identically named corresponding series of WT Mutual Fund (each, a "Predecessor Fund") ("the Reorganization"). The shareholders of each Predecessor Fund received shares of the corresponding Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares in the Predecessor Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. Each Predecessor Fund's investment objectives, policies and limitations were identical to those of the respective Fund, which had no operations prior to the Reorganization. For financial reporting purposes each Predecessor Fund's operating history prior to the Reorganization is reflected in each respective Fund's financial statements and financial highlights. The Reorganization was treated as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective Predecessor Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. Each Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investor Shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Institutional Shares are offered to retirement plans and other institutional investors. Investor Shares are available to all investors and are subject to a shareholder servicing fee. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Funds: SECURITY VALUATION. Securities held by the Funds which are listed on a securities exchange and for which market quotations are available are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day, or, if there is no such reported sale, securities are valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. Price information for listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent bid prices. Securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless the Trustees determine that this does not represent fair value. Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith using procedures adopted by the Trustees. 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 accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 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. On July 13, 2006, FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), was released. 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 Funds' 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. Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal income tax returns (tax years ended June 30, 2004 - 2007) for purposes of implementing FIN 48, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. 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 on an accrual basis. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated on a pro rata basis among the series based on relative net assets. 20 CLASS ACCOUNTING. In calculating net asset value 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. Expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. 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 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 at the date of the financial statements and the 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. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Roxbury Capital Management, LLC ("Roxbury") serves as investment adviser to each of the Funds. For its services, Roxbury receives a fee from each Fund at an annual rate as follows: % of Average Daily Net Assets ---------------------------------------- Small-Cap Growth Fund ........ 1.00% up to $1 billion; 0.95% of next $1 billion; and 0.90% in excess of $2 billion Mid-Cap Fund ................. 0.75% up to $1 billion; 0.70% of next $1 billion; and 0.65% in excess of $2 billion Roxbury has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee or reimburse for other operating expenses (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and interest) to the extent that total annual Fund operating expenses exceed the following percentages of average daily net assets: Expense Cap Expiration Date ------------- ------------------------- Small-Cap Growth Fund Institutional Shares ...... 1.25% December 31, 2020 Investor Shares ........... 1.50% December 31, 2020 Mid-Cap Fund Institutional Shares ...... 1.30% December 31, 2020 Investor Shares ........... 1.55% December 31, 2020 PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.)Inc. ("PNC"), formerly known as PFPC Inc., provides administrative services to the Funds pursuant to an Accounting and Administrative Services Agreement. COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS. The Fund pays each Trustee who is not an interested person of the Fund a fee of $5,000 per year plus $2,000 per Trustees or committee meeting attended. The Chairman is paid an additional fee of $1,000 per year. With the exception of a former Vice President of Roxbury who received a fee of $12,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008, no other Trustees of the Fund who are employees or Officers of Roxbury received any compensation from the Fund. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES. The Trustees have adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan which allows the Funds to obtain the services of Roxbury and other qualified financial institutions to act as shareholder servicing agents for their customers. Under the plan, the Small-Cap Growth and Mid-Cap Funds pay shareholder servicing agents, including Roxbury, a maximum annual amount at a rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds' Investor Shares. PFPC Trust Company serves as custodian to the Trust pursuant to a Custodian Services Agreement. 4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows: Small-Cap Mid-Cap Growth Fund Fund ---------------- ------------- Purchases .................... $298,081,414 $2,114,961 Sales ........................ 310,551,308 5,964,671 21 THE ROXBURY FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

6. 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. At June 30, 2008, the following reclassifications were made within the capital accounts to reflect permanent differences relating to net operating losses. Small-Cap Mid-Cap Growth Fund Fund ------------- ----------- Paid-in Capital .............................. $(1,484,832) $ -- Accumulated net investment loss .............. 1,421,038 7,773 Accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments ..................... 63,794 (7,773) 22 The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was as follows: Small-Cap Mid-Cap Growth Fund Fund ------------- ------------ YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 Ordinary income ........................ $ 7,984,568 $ 22,098 Long-term capital gains ................ 21,461,060 1,690,116 ----------- ---------- $29,445,628 $1,712,214 =========== ========== YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 Ordinary income ........................ $ 9,106,712 $ 28,620 Long-term capital gains ................ 6,454,986 1,588,974 ----------- ---------- Total distributions .................... $15,561,698 $1,617,594 =========== ========== Under federal tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended June 30, 2008 the Small-Cap Growth Fund will defer post-October capital losses of $24,542,508 to the year ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2008, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: Small-Cap Mid-Cap Growth Fund Fund ------------- ----------- Undistributed long-term capital gains/ (post-October capital losses) ........ $(24,542,508) $ 10,681 Other Temporary differences ............ (10,326) (10,326) Net unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) of investments ........ 8,679,778 (104,239) ------------ ---------- Total accumulated earnings ............. $(15,873,056) $ (103,884) ============ ========== The differences between book basis and tax basis components of accumulated earnings are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales and deferred compensation of Trustees. 7. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds' existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. 23 THE ROXBURY FUNDS REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of the Roxbury Funds and the Shareholders of the Roxbury Small-Cap Growth Fund and the Roxbury Mid-Cap Fund: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Roxbury Small-Cap Growth Fund and the Roxbury Mid-Cap Fund, each a series of The Roxbury Funds (the "Funds"), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2008, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years in the two year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years or periods ended June 30, 2006 were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 11, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Roxbury Small-Cap Growth Fund and the Roxbury Mid-Cap Fund as of June 30, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the years in the two year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP --------------------------------------- BRIGGS, BUNTING & DOUGHERTY, LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania August 4, 2008 24 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 certain dividends may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as qualified dividend income ("QDI") under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.
