Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Nationwide Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Nationwide Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(d) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(e) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(f) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(g) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of
Collateral


        $87,184,228    $ 89,002,539

 

(h) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(i) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


       $ 1,748,758,674      $ 89,136,625      $ (80,299,206 )      $ 8,837,419

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(j) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and the following schedule:

 

Fee Schedule    Fees

Up to $250 million

   0.60%

On the next $750 million

   0.575%

On the next $1 billion

   0.55%

On the next $3 billion

   0.525%

On $5 billion or more

   0.50%

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

 

Combined Fee Schedule*

Up to $1 billion

   0.15%

* The assets of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund, and the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund (collectively, the “Investor Destinations Funds”) are excluded from the Trust asset level amount in order to calculate this asset-based fee. The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class I, Class II, and Class III shares of the Fund and 0.20% on Class IV shares of the Fund.

 

As of June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $1,272,046 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $626.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $1,924,889,318 and sales of $1,989,749,903.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following such review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that the Fund has outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005, and ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds category for these periods. Moreover, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed the median of its Lipper category by 376 basis points over the twelve month period ended September 30, 2005.

 

Next, the Board reviewed and considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints, and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the third quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also considered the Fund’s total expenses and noted that the Fund placed in the second quintile of the Fund’s Expense Group. The Board also noted that the adviser manages institutional accounts in a similar manner to the Fund and determined that while the Fund’s management fee was higher, this was understandable given the more-extensive regulations and regulatory restrictions to which mutual funds are subject. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Growth Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Growth Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

“Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(e) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(f) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(g) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all

times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value of loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of Collateral

        $21,237,608

   $ 21,373,696

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
       $ 233,752,228      $ 9,447,009      $ (11,847,924 )      $ (2,400,915 )

 

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following such review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that, for the one- and three-year periods, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, by 275 and 130 basis points, respectively, and ranked in the second quartile of the Fund’s Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category for both periods. The Board also considered, however, that for the five-year period, the Fund under-performed its benchmark by 213 basis points and ranked in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s Lipper category. The Board then discussed the distribution of the Fund. Management discussed the challenges it has faced in marketing the Fund, given the five-year performance record, and the fact that growth style investing was not in favor over the last few years.

 

The Board next considered the contractual advisory fee and breakpoints for the Fund and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the second quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group and noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio placed the Fund below the median for the Fund’s Expense Group. The Board then reviewed the adviser’s profitability for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2005 and concluded that the adviser’s profitability during the period was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Government Bond Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Government Bond Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(d) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities

 

10


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(e) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount.

 

(f) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type

        $65,094,162

   $ 67,379,081

 

(g) Distributions to Shareholders

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. Dividends and distributions that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes, but not for tax purposes, are reported as distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(h) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
       $ 1,178,840,488      $ 3,233,498      $ (21,059,217 )      $ (17,825,719 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(i) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”).

(“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class I, Class II, and Class III shares of the Fund and 0.20% of Class IV shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $840,395 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following such review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Government Master Index by 68 basis points for the one-year period and 4 basis points for the three-year period, but slightly underperformed its benchmark by 4 basis points for the five-year period. In each of these periods, the Fund ranked in the second quartile of the Lipper General U.S. Government Funds category. The Board then considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the third quintile of the Expense Group constructed by Lipper; however, the Fund’s total expenses were below the median of the Fund’s Expense Group. Finally, the Board considered the level of profitability reported by the adviser and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

GVIT Small Company Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT Small Company Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

“Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward

foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

(i) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(k) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(l) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(m) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


       $ 791,868,739      $ 183,701,188      $ (44,846,903 )      $ 138,854,285

 

* The difference between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(n) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadvisers, for the Fund. The subadvisers listed below manage all or a portion of the Fund’s investments and have the responsibility for making all investment decisions for that portion of the Fund unless otherwise indicated. Below is a list of the subadvisers to the Fund:

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class I, Class II, and Class III shares of the Fund and 0.20% of Class IV shares of the Fund.

 

As of June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $730,190 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III and Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III or Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III or Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III or Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $2,675.

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following such review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index for the one- and five-year periods, while underperforming the benchmark for the three-year period ended September 30, 2005. During these periods, the Fund ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds category. In particular, the Board noted that over the one-year period, the Fund outperformed the median of its Lipper category by 391 points. Moreover, the Board considered that this Fund has undergone changes in portfolio managers on the Gartmore-managed sleeve and the Dreyfus subadvised sleeve over the past one-year period.

 

The Board also reviewed and considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee, which placed the Fund in the fifth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group, but within the range of the advisory fees charged by peer funds in the Lipper Expense Group. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expense ratio was slightly higher than the median of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board discussed with management the absence of breakpoints on the Fund’s advisory fee and determined that management’s decision not to provide breakpoints on this capacity-constrained fund was reasonable. The Board determined that although the contractual advisory fee was higher than the median of the Lipper Expense Group, the

Fund had consistently delivered good relative performance. The Board considered the adviser’s profitability, in light of the absence of breakpoints, and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Finally, the Board discussed with the Fund’s chief compliance officer and management, the “dual employee” arrangement Dreyfus had implemented whereby the portfolio managers who provide daily portfolio management services to the Fund on behalf of Dreyfus, do so as dual employees of another Dreyfus-affiliate, Franklin Portfolio Associates, LLC (“FPA)” The Board considered that although Dreyfus and FPA are affiliated companies, under certain circumstances their management structures, supervisory chains of command and internal resources may be distinct. Therefore, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to terminate the subadvisory agreement with Dreyfus and to hire FPA directly as the Fund’s subadviser effective on May 1, 2006, as permitted under the Fund’s exemptive order (which permits the Fund’s investment adviser to hire and fire unaffiliated subadvisers with Board but not shareholder approval). The Board was satisfied that this will not result in any change to the Fund’s portfolio managers, investment objective or policies.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

 

On May 25, 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), the parent companies of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) and GGAMT’s investment advisory subsidiaries, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMFCT”) and Gartmore Morley Capital Management, Inc. (“GMCM”), each of which, along with GGAMT, serves as an investment adviser to various series of the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (the “Funds”), announced that Nationwide entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Gartmore Group Limited (“GGL”), including certain of GGL’s subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Sale”). GGL’s U.K. investment advisory subsidiaries includes Gartmore Global Partners (“GGP”), the Fund’s current sub-adviser. Management informed the Board that, pending regulatory approval in the U.K. and other such appropriate jurisdiction, the U.K. Sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2006, at which time a change in control of GGP will occur that will cause GGP’s current subadvisory agreement with the Fund to terminate. Management recommended that the Board approve a new Subadvisory agreement with newly-unaffiliated GGP, in reliance upon the Manager of Managers Exemptive order the Funds have obtained from the SEC to take effect immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale to ensure continued provision of Subadvisory services by GGP to the Fund. The Board considered management’s representation that upon the closing of the U.K. Sale: (1) the Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage the Fund’s assets at this time; however, they will now do so on behalf of affiliated GGP at this time; (2) that the Fund will be managed in the same way, utilizing the same investment objective and strategies used by affiliated GGP now; and (3) the Subadvisory fees paid to unaffiliated GGP will be the same as those currently paid to affiliated GGP. At the time the Board selected and approved the adviser to the Fund, Board considered, among other factors, the advisory fee compared to a peer group of funds, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Since the adviser will pay the sub-adviser from the fees paid by the Fund to the adviser, and since the fees and expenses for the Fund will not change as a result of the change to the sub-adviser, the Board did not further consider these factors. Consequently, at its Regular Quarterly Meeting on June 14, 2006, the Board approved the continuation of affiliated GGP’s subadvisory agreement with new unaffiliated GGP, effective immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale which as of the date of printing of this report, had not yet occurred.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Money Market Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Money Market Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Investments of the Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant (straight-line) basis to the maturity of the security.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The

 

11

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issues from developing countries.

 

(d) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount.

 

(e) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(f) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of

Securities


 

Unrealized
Appreciation


 

Unrealized
Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$1,967,209,017

  $—   $—   $—

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(g) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of settled shares outstanding. Under this method, earnings are allocated based on the fair value of settled shares. Expenses specific to a class (such as administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and the following schedule:

 

Schedule    Fees

Up to $1 billion

   0.40%

Next $1 billion

   0.38%

Next $3 billion

   0.36%

$5 billion or more

   0.34%

 

Effective May 1, 2006, GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) limiting operating expenses from exceeding 0.50% for Class IV shares until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, depending on the Fund (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the cumulative potential reimbursements for the Class IV shares of the Fund, based on reimbursements which expire within three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made for expenses reimbursed by GMF would be:

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.

These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25%, 0.20% and 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Class I, Class IV, and Class V shares, respectively, of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $1,094,415 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had purchases of $26,500,000 of U.S. Government securities.

 

5. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following such review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that, for the one-, three-, and five years periods, the Fund underperformed the Fund’s benchmark, the iMoney Net First Tier Index, by 63, 62 and 67 basis points, respectively and ranked in the third quartile of the Fund’s Lipper Money Market Funds category for all periods. However, the Board considered that performance of the Fund placed the Fund in the second quintile of the Performance Group constructed by Lipper over the one-, two-, three-, and four-year periods presented in the Lipper report, and in the third quintile over the five-year period presented in the Lipper report. Lipper uses several factors in selecting the comparative peer groups, and one such factor is asset size comparability. Lipper attempts to select some funds whose total average net assets are larger and some funds whose total average net assets are smaller, within a reasonable size range. The Board next reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee and breakpoints for the Fund and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the third quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group and the Fund’s total expense ratio placed the Fund below the median of the Fund’s Expense Group. Finally, the Board received and considered the adviser’s profitability and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Money Market Fund II

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Money Market Fund II (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Investments of the Funds are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant (straight-line) basis to the maturity of the security.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issues from developing countries.

 

(d) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount.

 

(e) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(f) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


    

Unrealized

Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


     Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


       $ 353,398,486      $      $      $

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(g) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocation is based on the fair value of settled shares outstanding. Under this method, earnings are allocated based on the fair value of settled shares.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following such review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that, for the one- and three-year periods, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the iMoney Net First Tier Index, by 104 and 106 basis points, respectively, and ranked in the fourth quartile of the Lipper Money Market Funds category for both periods. The Board also considered that performance of the Fund placed it in the fifth quintile of the Performance Group constructed by Lipper over the one-, two-, and three-year period presented in the Report. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with Gartmore who reminded the Board that the Fund was designed for high inflows and outflows as part of a tactical market allocation product, to accommodate short-term trading. Therefore, the Fund must be managed with a much shorter duration, and the Fund has higher expenses (as discussed below), each of which adversely affects relative performance.

 

The Board then reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee and breakpoints for the Fund and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Expense Group constructed by Lipper. The Trustees considered that total expenses for the Fund placed the Fund above the median of the Fund’s Expense Group. The Board also reviewed and considered the Adviser’s profitability and concluded it was not excessive.

 

The Board concluded that the Fund has performed as expected, given the need to manage to a shorter duration, and the higher expenses incurred by the Fund. The Board also concluded that while the Fund’s advisory fee when compared to the advisory fees of the Lipper Expense Group is slightly higher than the median of the advisory fees of the Lipper Expense Group, it is

 

12


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

within the range of the advisory fees charged by the funds in the Lipper Expense Group. Also, while the Fund’s total expenses are higher than the median of the total expenses of the funds in the Lipper Expense Group, this too is understandable given the higher distribution expenses, and the requirements of the Fund to accommodate short-term trading.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

J.P. Morgan GVIT Balanced Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the J.P. Morgan GVIT Balanced Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is

 

27


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(d) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

28


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(e) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(f) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(g) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(h) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

(i) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


    Unrealized
Depreciation


  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$ 220,386,437   $ (5,555,707 )   $ 11,966,365   $ 6,410,658

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(j) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund. JPMorgan Investment Management, Inc. (the “subadviser”) manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, the adviser pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund had underperformed its composite benchmark (60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index) for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005. The Board further noted that the Fund’s performance ranked in the fourth quartile of the Lipper Balanced Funds category for the one-year period, and in the third quartile for the three- and five- year periods. The Board then discussed with management the steps being taken to improve the Fund’s performance, including the addition by JPMorgan of more small-cap and international exposure to the Fund’s equity weighting. The Board directed the Performance Committee to closely monitor the Fund’s future performance to assess the effectiveness of the recent steps taken and to work with the adviser, and to recommend whether further steps should be required to improve performance.

 

Next, the Board considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fees and breakpoints and noted the Fund’s contractual advisory fee placed it in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s total expenses which were at the median of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board and management then discussed the

expense cap that had been in place since the acquisition of this Fund in 2003. As current expenses are running below the cap, management proposed not to renew the expense limitation and the Board agreed. Effective May 1, 2006, the expense cap for this Fund was terminated. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Mid Cap Growth Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing counties.

(e) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(f) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(g) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent

to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


  

Value of Collateral


$ 75,008,074

   $75,402,140

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$324,609,967   $50,283,125   $(10,448,426)   $39,834,699

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GMF”). GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and the following schedule:

 

Fee Schedule    Fees    

Up to $200 million

   0.75%

$200 million or more

   0.70%

 

Effective May 1, 2006, GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) limiting operating expenses from exceeding 0.95% for Class IV Shares until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, depending on the fund (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, the cumulative potential reimbursements for the Class IV shares of the Fund, based on reimbursements which expire within three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made for expenses reimbursed by GMF would be:

(“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class I, Class II, and Class III shares of the Fund and 0.20% of Class IV shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $210,407 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had no contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees.

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index, for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2005 while significantly outperforming its benchmark for the five-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund ranked in the top half of the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds category over the one- and five-year periods and outperformed the median for this Lipper category by 84 basis points over the one-year period. The Board then discussed with management the Fund’s loss of assets over the past year and future plans for distributing the Fund.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints noting that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the second quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group and the Fund’s total expenses placed it below the median for the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group. The Board also noted that the adviser manages institutional accounts in a similar manner to the Fund and determined that while the Fund’s management fee was higher, this was understandable given the more-extensive regulations and regulatory restrictions to which mutual funds are subject. The Board then reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of this information and concluded that it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Van Kampen GVIT Comstock Value Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Van Kampen GVIT Comstock Value Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(d) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(e) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(f) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(g) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of Collateral

$30,572,115

   $30,838,631

 

(h) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(i) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$305,478,086   $23,375,872   $(8,635,975)   $14,739,897

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(j) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such a rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the one- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005 while outperforming its benchmark for the three-year period. During those same periods, the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of the Lipper Equity Funds category for the one- and five-year periods, and in the first quartile for the three-year period. The Board then discussed with management the Funds’ volatile performance and the actions management had recently taken to address the Fund’s underperformance and volatility. Management explained that the Fund employs a “deep value” style and deep value funds are generally very volatile. Moreover, the Board noted that some of the funds included in the Fund’s Lipper Equity Income Funds peer category, are not “deep value” funds and, consequently, the Fund’s performance should reasonably be expected to be more volatile than the performance of those funds. The Board considered that, in management’s view, the Fund’s performance has performed in line with management’s expectations for a deep value Fund.

 

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee and breakpoints for the Fund and noted that the contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) placed the Fund in the third quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense

Group. The Trustees considered the total expenses for the Fund and noted that the expense ratio placed the Fund in the second quintile of the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group. The Board and management then discussed the expense cap that had been in place since the acquisition of this Fund in 2003. As current expenses are running below the cap, management proposed not to renew the expense limitation and the Board agreed. Effective May 1, 2006, the expense cap for this Fund was terminated. The Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability, giving consideration to the expiring expense cap, and concluded that the adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Federated GVIT High Income Bond Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Federated GVIT High Income Bond Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee,

 

16


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the

 

17


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount.

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 93-2, permanent difference (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
$ 225,907,760   $ 5,241,708   $ (7,466,699 )   $ (2,224,991 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in

 

19


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such a Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GMF advises. Federated Investment Management Company (the “subadviser”), manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GMF pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and

 

20


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $180,595 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $41,502.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $44,820,204 and sales of $59,675,171.

 

6. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in high yield instruments and are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of high yield debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading.

 

7. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman High Yield Index and the Lipper High Current Yield Funds category median for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance ranked in the third quartile of the Fund’s Lipper category for the three- and five-year periods. The Board discussed with management the Fund’s performance and decrease in assets. Management explained that the adviser continues to closely monitor the Fund, and that the Fund’s performance had suffered over the past two years because of its quality bias as lower quality bonds outperformed higher quality bonds. The Board directed the Performance Committee to closely monitor the performance of this Fund, particularly in light of the Fund’s recent benchmark change, on October 1, 2005, to the Lehman Corporate High Yield 2% Cap Index.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints and noted the contractual advisory fee (including, advisory fee) placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also

Supplemental Information

considered that the Fund’s total expenses placed the Fund in the second quintile of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board concluded that the adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT S&P 500 Index Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”), (formerly “GVIT Equity 500 Index Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method

 

15


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name


   Value

   Maturity Rate

    Maturity Date

Commercial Paper    Aegis Finance LLC    $ 1,493,193    5.29 %   07/21/06
Repurchase Agreement    Bank of America Securities LLC      13,283,981    5.32 %   07/03/06

 

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities

  Value of Collateral

$14,615,082   $ 14,777,174

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
$399,323,102   $ 61,987,731   $ (83,265,283 )   $ (21,277,552 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GMF advises. Fund Asset Management, L.P. (the “subadviser”), manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Prior to May 1, 2006, the Fund’s subadviser was SsgA Funds.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GMF pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

$3 billion or more

     0.11 %    0.09%    0.02%

 

Effective May 1, 2006, GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses from exceeding 0.23% for all classes of shares until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, depending on the fund (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, over the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005. The Fund outperformed the benchmark on a gross basis. The Board concluded that the underperformance on net basis was understandable given that an index fund, such as the Fund, must take into account its fees and expenses in calculating performance while the index it tracks has no such fees or expenses. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the first quartile of the Lipper S&P 500 Index Objective Funds category in each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods.

 

The Board next reviewed and considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including subadvisory fees) and breakpoints and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed peer group. The Board considered, however, that due to substantial fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the adviser, the actual advisory fee ranked in the first quintile of the Lipper Expense Group. Additionally, the Board noted that the Fund’s

Supplemental Information (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

total expenses are below the median of the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group. The Board also considered the adviser’s profitability, and concluded that the adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

 

Finally, the Board considered management’s recommendation to replace the Fund’s current subadviser, SSgA Funds Management (“SSgA”) with Fund Asset Management (“FAM”), the current subadviser to the retail version of this Fund. The Board noted that management was proposing the change for several reasons including: (1) management’s decision to manage the Fund in a manner substantially similar to the retail version of the Fund; (2) FAM’s investment process, risk management, performance and the experienced team of FAM portfolio managers who would be managing the Fund’s assets; (3) and management’s successful negotiation of a reduction in the subadvisory fee that will be paid to FAM which enables management to significantly reduce the Fund’s overall advisory fee.

 

Specifically, the Board considered that FAM’s contractual subadvisory fee (0.02% - 0.0125%) is considerably lower than SSgA’s fee (0.025% - 0.015%). This enables management to propose a significant reduction in the Fund’s overall advisory fee (from 0.24% - 0.22% to 0.13% - 0.11%) which is a considerably greater amount than the reduction in the subadvisory fee. The Board noted that management seeks to make the Fund an attractive underlying investment in certain “fund-of-funds” arrangements and enables management to conform the price structure of this Fund to that of its retail counterpart, the Gartmore S&P 500 Index Fund.

 

In addition to its consideration of the reduced subadvisory (and advisory) fees, the Board also considered that FAM will manage the Fund in substantially the same manner as FAM manages the Fund’s retail counterpart. The Board further noted FAM’s demonstrated performance to date in managing the Fund’s retail counterpart.

 

Having considered management’s recommendation, including the reasons and related information presented, the Board approved: (1) the termination of SSgA; (2) the hiring of FAM as subadviser; (3) the new subadvisory agreement and fees; and (4) the renewal of the advisory agreement at the reduced fee rate proposed, all to become effective on May 1, 2006, the Trust’s annual contract renewal date.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Van Kampen GVIT Multi Sector Bond Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Van Kampen GVIT Multi Sector Bond Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee,

 

22


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the

 

23


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Such compensation is amortized over the life of the dollar roll and included in investment income on the Statement of Operations. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


    

Unrealized

Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


       $ 284,647,235      $ 6,314,200      $ (4,237,790 )      $ 2,076,410

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GMF advises. Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (the “subadviser”), manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GMF pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark (60% Citigroup U.S. Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index, 15% Citigroup U.S. High Yield Market Index, 15% Citigroup World Government Bond Index: Unhedged, and 10% JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index) for the one- and three-year periods while underperforming the benchmark for the five year period end September 30, 2005. During each of these same periods, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of the Lipper General Bond Funds category. The Board discussed with management the Fund’s third quartile performance and noted the changes that had recently been made to the Fund that are intended to improve performance. The Board also considered management’s explanation that this Fund is intended to provide less risk and volatility than similar funds and consequently may underperform those funds.

 

Next, the Board considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fees and breakpoints which placed the Fund in the fifth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group, but within the range of contractual advisory fees of other funds in the Lipper Expense Group. The Board considered the Fund’s total expenses which placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Lipper Expense Group. The Board also considered, however, that the Fund’s total expenses are only four basis points above the median of the Lipper Expense Group. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability information and concluded that it is not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

GVIT Small Cap Value Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(d) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation

 

21


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(e) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(f) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(g) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(h) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code,

 

22


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


 

Unrealized
Appreciation


 

Unrealized
Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$667,405,147

  $87,125,640   $(47,888,602)   $39,237,038

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(i) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadvisers, for the Fund. The subadvisers listed below manage all or a portion of the Fund’s investments and have the responsibility for making all investment decisions for that portion of the Fund unless otherwise indicated.

this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class I, Class II, and Class III shares of the Fund and 0.20% of Class IV shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $561,821 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $466.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, for the one-and three-year periods ended September 30, 2005, while underperforming its benchmark for the five-year period. The Board considered that the Fund ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper Small Cap Value Funds category for the three-year period ended September 30, 2005, but had underperformed the median of the category for the one-year period. The Board discussed with management the recent portfolio manager change on the sleeve of the portfolio managed directly by Gartmore and the replacement of one of the Fund’s subadvisers, Dreyfus Corporation with Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. in September 2005.

 

Next, the Board reviewed and considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including subadvisory fees) and breakpoints and noted the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses were slightly above the median for the Fund’s Expense Group. The Board discussed with management the Fund’s fees and expenses in light of the breakpoints in place on this Fund. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability with respect to its management of this Fund and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

GVIT Small Cap Growth Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is

 

10


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the

 

11


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of Collateral

        $17,404,836

   $ 17,877,903

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify to or continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


   Unrealized
Appreciation


   Unrealized
Depreciation


  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$137,733,838

   $40,816,880    $(8,475,028)   $32,341,852

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $123,323 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $148.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $48,049,188 and sales of $59,315,661.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 but had underperformed the benchmark over the three- and five-year periods. The Board noted however, that the Fund ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds category for the one- and three-year periods.

 

The Board then considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including subadvisory fees) which placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group and the Fund’s total expenses which were slightly above the median of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board discussed with management the absence of breakpoints on the Fund’s advisory fee and determined that management’s decision to not provide breakpoints on this capacity-constrained fund was reasonable. The Board determined that although the contractual advisory fee was higher than the median of the Lipper Expense Group, the Fund had delivered good relative performance. Finally, the Board reviewed and considered the adviser’s profitability and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Worldwide Leaders Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Worldwide Leaders Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee,

are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund

replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name


   Value

   Maturity Rate

   Maturity Date

Bank Note — Floating Rate    Bank of America    $ 300,000    5.31%    07/03/06

Repurchase Agreement    Bank of America Securities LLC      3,779,624    5.32%    07/03/06

 

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


    

Value of Collateral


$5,315,375

    

$5,427,355

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e.,

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of

Securities


  

Unrealized

Appreciation


  

Unrealized

Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$52,462,054

   $4,273,849    $(931,491)   $3,342,358

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund. Gartmore Global Partners (the “subadviser”) manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. The subadviser is an affiliate of GMF and GGAMT. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GMF pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the MSCI World Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to the Fund’s base fee.

 

Out or Underperformance


   Change in Fees

+/- 1 percentage point

   +/-0.02%

+/- 2 percentage point

   +/-0.04%

+/- 3 percentage point

   +/-0.06%

+/- 4 percentage point

   +/-0.08%

+/- 5 percentage point

   +/-0.10%

 

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $36,192 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $2,707.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $69,019,000 and sales of $68,899,044.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs if any, would be included in custodian fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub- advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;
  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2005, while slightly underperforming the benchmark for the five-year period. The Board further considered that the Fund’s performance ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper Global Large-Cap Core Funds category for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2005, and had outperformed the median of this Lipper category by 1,438 basis points for the one year period ended September 30, 2005.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and considered this fee placed the Fund in the fifth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board noted, however, that the Fund implemented a performance-based fee structure on January 1, 2006, and upon such implementation, immediately reduced its base management fee by 10 basis points. The Board considered that total expenses for the Fund placed it above the median of the Lipper Expense Group, and noted that the higher expense ratio was primarily due to distribution costs. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors and concluded it was not excessive.

Supplemental Information (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

 

On May 25, 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), the parent companies of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) and GGAMT’s investment advisory subsidiaries, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMFCT”) and Gartmore Morley Capital Management, Inc. (“GMCM”), each of which, along with GGAMT, serves as an investment adviser to various series of the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (the “Funds”), announced that Nationwide entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Gartmore Group Limited (“GGL”), including certain of GGL’s subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Sale”). GGL’s U.K. investment advisory subsidiaries includes Gartmore Global Partners (“GGP”), the Fund’s current sub-adviser. Management informed the Board that, pending regulatory approval in the U.K. and other such appropriate jurisdiction, the U.K. Sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2006, at which time a change in control of GGP will occur that will cause GGP’s current subadvisory agreement with the Fund to terminate. Management recommended that the Board approve a new Subadvisory agreement with newly-unaffiliated GGP, in reliance upon the Manager of Managers Exemptive order the Funds have obtained from the SEC to take effect immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale to ensure continued provision of Subadvisory services by GGP to the Fund. The Board considered management’s representation that upon the closing of the U.K. Sale: (1) the Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage the Fund’s assets at this time; however, they will now do so on behalf of affiliated GGP at this time; (2) that the Fund will be managed in the same way, utilizing the same investment objective and strategies used by affiliated GGP now; and (3) the Subadvisory fees paid to unaffiliated GGP will be the same as those currently paid to affiliated GGP. At the time the Board selected and approved the adviser to the Fund, Board considered, among other factors, the advisory fee compared to a peer group of funds, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Since the adviser will pay the sub-adviser from the fees paid by the Fund to the adviser, and since the fees and expenses for the Fund will not change as a result of the change to the sub-adviser, the Board did not further consider these factors. Consequently, at its Regular Quarterly Meeting on June 14, 2006, the Board approved the continuation of affiliated GGP’s subadvisory agreement with new unaffiliated GGP, effective immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale which as of the date of printing of this report, had not yet occurred.

Shareholder

Expense Example

GVIT Mid Cap Index Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

June 30, 2006

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), Great West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and First Great West Life & Annuity Insurance Company have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT Mid Cap Index Fund (the “Fund”), (formerly “Dreyfus GVIT Mid Cap Index Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. Dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee,

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(e) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(f) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(g) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets pursuant to agreements, requiring that the borrower deliver cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan of non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and thereafter requiring the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis and requiring the borrower to make up any shortfall of collateral. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. Collateral is marked-to-market daily to provide a level of collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by

the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of
Collateral


        $154,730,127

   $156,526,995

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


       $ 688,975,202      $ 156,294,589      $ (50,212,344 )      $ 106,082,245

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. For the Equity Funds, the method for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of Fund Asset Management L.P., the Fund’s subadviser (the “subadviser”). The subadviser manages the Fund’s investments and has responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Prior to May 1, 2006, the Fund’s subadvisor was the Dreyfus Corporation.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GMF pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

 

June 30, 2006

 

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that, as is anticipated with index funds, the GVIT Mid Cap Index Fund underperformed its benchmark index, the S&P Midcap 400 Index, by 60 basis points for the one-year period. The Board considered that the Fund’s return was in line with the benchmark on a gross return basis. The Fund ranked in the second quartile of the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds category for the one year period ended September 30, 2005, beating the category median return by 5 basis points. The Board further considered that over the three-year period, the Fund ranked in the third quartile of its Lipper category and underperformed the category median by 9 basis points, while for the five-year period the Fund ranked in the third quartile and underperformed the category median by 37 basis points.

 

The Board also considered the Funds contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoints place the Fund in the third quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group and the Fund’s total expenses are at the median of its Expense Group. Finally, the Board reviewed and considered the adviser’s profitability with respect to this Fund and concluded that it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

3 Mr. DeVore has served as President of Otterbein College since 1984. Mark Thresher, President and Chief Operating Officer of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”) has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Otterbein College since 2000, currently serves as one of 30 of its trustees, and is currently one of two Vice Chairmen of the Board. NFS is under common control with each of the Gartmore companies that serve as investment advisers and principal underwriter to the Trust, as each is a majority-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation (“NC”) and, through NC, of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%).

 

4 Mr. Allen owns a 51% interest in Graimark Realty Advisors Inc., a 67% owner of G/W Jefferson-St Jean LLC (“Jefferson-St”), a real estate development company. Until July 28, 2004, Jefferson-St had a construction loan, guaranteed by Mr. Allen, in the principal amount of $12.5 million (“Construction Loan”), from Bank One, NA, obtained in August, 2002. On July 1, 2004, Bank One Corporation merged with and into J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (the “Merger”). Bank One Corporation was the parent company of Bank One, NA. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. is the parent company of J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., subadviser to two of the Funds of the Trust. On July 28, 2004, the Construction Loan was refinanced with an unaffiliated permanent lender. Neither Mr. Allen, nor the Trust’s management, believes that the Construction Loan, secured well in advance of the Merger, and refinanced within 28 days following the completion of the Merger, should result in Mr. Allen having a material business relationship with an investment adviser (or subadviser) or controlling person of an investment adviser (or subadviser) of the Trust.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Global Technology and Communications Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Global Technology and Communications Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name


   Value

   Maturity Rate

   Maturity Date

Bank Note — Floating Rate    Bank of America    $ 400,000    5.31%    07/03/06

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of Collateral

$6,432,975    $ 6,494,468

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
       $ 41,285,256      $ 1,337,872      $ (2,949,718 )      $ (1,611,846 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and the following schedule:

 

Fee Schedule    Fees

$0 up to $500 million

   0.88%

$500 million up to $2 billion

   0.83%

$2 billion and more

   0.78%

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Technology Composite Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

12


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

 

Out or Underperformance    Change in Fees

+/- 1 percentage point

   +/- 0.02%

+/- 2 percentage point

   +/- 0.04%

+/- 3 percentage point

   +/- 0.06%

+/- 4 percentage point

   +/- 0.08%

+/- 5 percentage point

   +/- 0.10%

 

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 1.23% for all classes until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, depending on the fund (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of shares of the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

Up to $1 billion

   0.15%

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II and Class VI shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II and Class VI shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $24,861 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III and Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III and Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III and Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III and Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $26,009.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $54,434,447 and sales of $57,995,632.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credits) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index Composite, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005 and ranked in the bottom half of the Fund’s Lipper peer group for all periods. The Board discussed with management the disappointing performance of the Fund. The Board considered that Chip Zhu had become the sole portfolio manager of the Fund on January 4, 2005 and, after the first weeks of transitioning the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund had shown improved performance, and had outperformed its benchmark.

 

Next the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and break points and considered that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed peer group. The Fund’s total expenses placed the Fund above the median of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board also considered, however, that the Fund had implemented a performance-based fee structure effective January 1, 2006 and reduced the base management fee by 10 basis points as of that date. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability with respect to this Fund and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Global Health Sciences Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Global Health Sciences Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method

upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name


   Value

   Maturity Rate

   Maturity Date

Commercial Paper    Aegis Finance LLC    $ 497,731    5.29%    07/21/06
Master Note — Floating    CDC Financial Product Inc.      1,000,000    5.41%    07/03/06
Master Note — Floating    Citigroup Global Markets Inc.      1,000,000    5.38%    07/03/06
Medium Term Note — Floating    Beta Finance Inc.      2,500,000    5.37%    07/03/06
Repurchase Agreement    Bank of America Securities LLC      851,799    5.32%    07/03/06

 

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of Collateral

$5,843,244

   $ 5,849,530

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


   Unrealized
Appreciation


   Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
$64,194,992    $ 1,900,225    $ (2,577,864 )   $ (677,639 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and the following schedule:

 

Fee Schedule    Fees

$0 up to $500 million

   0.90%

$500 million up to $2 billion

   0.85%

$2 billion and more

   0.80%

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Healthcare Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

 

Out or Underperformance    Change in Fees

+/-1 percentage point

   +/-0.02%

+/-2 percentage point

   +/-0.04%

+/-3 percentage point

   +/-0.06%

+/-4 percentage point

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

 

Combined Fee Schedule*

Up to $1 billion

   0.15%

* The assets of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund, and the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund (collectively, the “Investor Destinations Funds”) are excluded from the Trust asset level amount in order to calculate this asset-based fee. The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II and Class VI shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II and Class VI shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $48,208 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III and Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III and Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the

separate account held the Class III and Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III and Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $14,253.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $96,836,835 and sales of $105,197,120.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credits) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that for the one- and three- year periods ending September 30, 2005, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Healthcare Index by 54 basis points and 399 basis points, respectively. The Board then discussed with management the Fund’s performance and distribution. Management explained that this is a very volatile sector in which to manage money and, in management’s view, the portfolio manager has made the appropriate defensive moves during this time period.

 

Next, the Board considered that the contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoints for this Fund placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group and the Fund’s total expenses were 14 basis points above the median for the Lipper Expense Group. The Board noted, however, that the Fund had implemented a performance-based fee structure effective January 1, 2006, and, the base management fee was reduced by 10 basis points immediately upon implementation. Finally, the Board considered that the adviser had reported a loss for investment management services to this Fund during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2005.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Nationwide Leaders Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Nationwide Leaders Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(d) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,”

 

8


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(e) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(f) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(g) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(h) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of

good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(i) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(j) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
Depreciation


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
       $ 23,167,977      $ 307,150      $ (511,167 )      $ (204,017 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(k) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative service fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and the following schedule:

 

Fee Schedule    Fees

Up to $500 million

   0.80%

$500 million up to $2 billion

   0.70%

$2 billion or more

   0.65%

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

 

Out or Underperformance    Change in Fees

+/-1 percentage point

   +/-0.02%

+/-2 percentage point

   +/-0.04%

+/-3 percentage point

   +/-0.06%

+/-4 percentage point

   +/-0.08%

+/-5 percentage point

   +/-0.10%

 

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 1.15% for all classes until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, depending on the fund (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of shares of the Fund.

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $15,444 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the adviser or affiliates of the advisers directly held 7% of the shares outstanding of the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading in Class III shares. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the one- and three-year period ended September 30, 2005 by 1,053 and 183 basis points, respectively. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the top quartile of its Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the one-year period and ranked in the second quartile for the three-year period. Moreover, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Lipper category by 833 basis points for the one-year period.

 

The Board then reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group, while the Fund’s total expenses placed it in the fourth quintile of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board noted, however, that the Fund’s base advisory fee was reduced by 10 basis points upon implementation of a performance-based fee structure on January 1, 2006. The Board then discussed with management the Fund’s relatively high expense ratio. Management explained this was partly a function of the Fund’s low asset level and partly a function of the higher advisory fee management charges for this concentrated Fund. Management proposed to implement an expense cap of 115 basis points and the Board concluded this was reasonable. Finally the Board considered the adviser’s profitability on this Fund, and determined that it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Emerging Markets Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of

 

11


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or

 

12


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following value on loan:

 

Value of Loaned Securities


   Value of Collateral

        $8,919,233

   $ 9,158,798

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of Securities


  

Unrealized Appreciation


  

Unrealized Depreciation


  

Net Unrealized Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$252,371,728

   $26,082,008    $(13,950,139)    $12,131,869

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GGAMT provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GGAMT advises. Gartmore Global Partners (the “subadviser”), an affiliate of GGAMT, manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Fund’s adviser an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreements, the adviser pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GGAMT and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

Next $2 billion or more

     0.95%      0.475%      0.475%

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

GGAMT and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 1.40% for all classes until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GGAMT may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GGAMT, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GGAMT is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of the Fund, based on reimbursements which expire within three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made for expenses reimbursed by GGAMT.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II and Class VI shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II and Class VI shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and

financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $178,425 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III and Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III and Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III and Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III and Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $77,854.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $225,280,174 and sales of $201,868,470.

 

6. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in emerging market instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

 

7. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credits) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds category for the three-year period, and had underperformed the median of the category by 274 basis points for the one-year period. The Board discussed with management the Fund’s performance history, noting that the Fund had been under close review for the past year. The Board considered management’s efforts to reduce the Fund’s performance volatility and management’s ongoing internal discussions with respect to adding personnel to the management team for the Fund. The Board also noted that the Fund’s absolute performance has been good. The Board directed the Performance Committee to continue to closely monitor the performance of the Fund.

 

Next, the Board reviewed and considered the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoints and noted the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the third quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group.

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses placed the Fund below the median for the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group. Moreover, the Board noted that, effective January 1, 2006, the Fund implemented a performance-based fee structure, which resulted in a 10 basis point reduction in the base management fee immediately upon implementation of the new fee structure.

 

Additionally, the Board noted that Gartmore manages a single institutional account in a similar style to that of the Fund of which Gartmore receives a lower management fee. Gartmore explained that the reason for this is that Gartmore serves as a subadvisor on this Fund and therefore has no management responsibilities beyond pure asset management. The Board considered the fee structure and the additional services and responsibilities for serving as investment adviser to the Fund. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability with respect to managing the Fund and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

 

On May 25, 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), the parent companies of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) and GGAMT’s investment advisory subsidiaries, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMFCT”) and Gartmore Morley Capital Management, Inc. (“GMCM”), each of which, along with GGAMT, serves as an investment adviser to various series of the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (the “Funds”), announced that Nationwide entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Gartmore Group Limited (“GGL”), including certain of GGL’s subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Sale”). GGL’s U.K. investment advisory subsidiaries includes Gartmore Global Partners (“GGP”), the Fund’s current sub-adviser. Management informed the Board that, pending regulatory approval in the U.K. and other such appropriate jurisdiction, the U.K. Sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2006, at which time a change in control of GGP will occur that will cause GGP’s current subadvisory agreement with the Fund to terminate. Management recommended that the Board approve a new Subadvisory agreement with newly-unaffiliated GGP, in reliance upon the Manager of Managers Exemptive order the Funds have obtained from the SEC to take effect immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale to ensure continued provision of Subadvisory services by GGP to the Fund. The Board considered management’s representation that upon the closing of the U.K. Sale: (1) the Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage the Fund’s assets at this time; however, they will now do so on behalf of affiliated GGP at this time; (2) that the Fund will be managed in the same way, utilizing the same investment objective and strategies used by affiliated GGP now; and (3) the Subadvisory fees paid to unaffiliated GGP will be the same as those currently paid to affiliated GGP. At the time the Board selected and approved the adviser to the Fund, Board considered, among other factors, the advisory fee compared to a peer group of funds, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Since the adviser will pay the sub-adviser from the fees paid by the Fund to the adviser, and since the fees and expenses for the Fund will not change as a result of the change to the sub-adviser, the Board did not further consider these factors. Consequently, at its Regular Quarterly Meeting on June 14, 2006, the Board approved the continuation of affiliated GGP’s subadvisory agreement with new unaffiliated GGP, effective immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale which as of the date of printing of this report, had not yet occurred.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT International Growth Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT International Growth Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with

the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


 

Unrealized
Appreciation


 

Unrealized
Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$65,191,100

  $5,739,355   $(2,377,708)   $3,361,647

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GGAMT provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GGAMT advises. Gartmore Global Partners (the “subadviser”), an affiliate of GGAMT, manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GGAMT an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GGAMT pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GGAMT and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

Up to $500 million

     0.90 %    0.450 %    0.450 %

     0.85 %    0.425 %    0.425 %

$2 billion or more

     0.80 %    0.400 %    0.400 %

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

GGAMT and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 1.25% for all classes until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GGAMT may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GGAMT, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GGAMT is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and

financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $47,740 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $27,263.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $80,715,712 and sales of $62,551,947.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credits) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. Index, for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 while underperforming the benchmark for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the top quartile of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the one- and three-year periods and outperformed the median of this Lipper category by 896 basis points over the one-year period. The Board then discussed with management the challenges to asset growth for the Fund despite its good performance. Management explained that Fund had just reached the five year mark for its Morningstar rating and the level of volatility in its performance had affected this Morningstar rating. Therefore, management had been working with the portfolio manager in seeking to reduce the Fund’s volatility.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints and considered that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Fund’s total expenses placed the Fund below the median of the Lipper Expense Group. Moreover, the Board considered that the Fund had implemented a

performance-based fee structure effective January 1, 2006 and reduced the base management fee by 10 basis points on that date. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

 

On May 25, 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), the parent companies of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) and GGAMT’s investment advisory subsidiaries, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMFCT”) and Gartmore Morley Capital Management, Inc. (“GMCM”), each of which, along with GGAMT, serves as an investment adviser to various series of the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (the “Funds”), announced that Nationwide entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Gartmore Group Limited (“GGL”), including certain of GGL’s subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Sale”). GGL’s U.K. investment advisory subsidiaries includes Gartmore Global Partners (“GGP”), the Fund’s current sub-adviser. Management informed the Board that, pending regulatory approval in the U.K. and other such appropriate jurisdiction, the U.K. Sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2006, at which time a change in control of GGP will occur that will cause GGP’s current subadvisory agreement with the Fund to terminate. Management recommended that the Board approve a new Subadvisory agreement with newly-unaffiliated GGP, in reliance upon the Manager of Managers Exemptive order the Funds have obtained from the SEC to take effect immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale to ensure continued provision of Subadvisory services by GGP to the Fund. The Board considered management’s representation that upon the closing of the U.K. Sale: (1) the Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage the Fund’s assets at this time; however, they will now do so on behalf of affiliated GGP at this time; (2) that the Fund will be managed in the same way, utilizing the same investment objective and strategies used by affiliated GGP now; and (3) the Subadvisory fees paid to unaffiliated GGP will be the same as those currently paid to affiliated GGP. At the time the Board selected and approved the adviser to the Fund, Board considered, among other factors, the advisory fee compared to a peer group of funds, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Since the adviser will pay the sub-adviser from the fees paid by the Fund to the adviser, and since the fees and expenses for the Fund will not change as a result of the change to the sub-adviser, the Board did not further consider these factors. Consequently, at its Regular Quarterly Meeting on June 14, 2006, the Board approved the continuation of affiliated GGP’s subadvisory agreement with new unaffiliated GGP, effective immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale which as of the date of printing of this report, had not yet occurred.

Shareholder

Expense Example

GVIT International Value Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT International Value Fund (the “Fund”), (formerly “Dreyfus GVIT International Value Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of

Securities


 

Unrealized

Appreciation


 

Unrealized

Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$299,107,227

  $32,983,348   $(7,955,566)   $25,027,782

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the The Boston Company (“TBC”), an affiliate of the Dreyfus Corporation, the Fund’s subadviser (the “subadviser”). The subadviser manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GMF pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

* The assets of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund, and the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund (collectively, the “Investor Destinations Funds”) are excluded from the Trust asset level amount in order to calculate this asset-based fee. The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares and Class VI shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares and Class VI shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $198,173 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III and Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III or Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III or Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III or Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $54,587.

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $97,961,789 and sales of $65,955,620.

 

6. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in emerging market instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

 

7. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credits) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 and ranked in the fourth quartile of the Lipper International Value Funds category for the one-year period. The Board noted that the Fund ranked in the third quartile of the Lipper International Value Funds category for the three-year period, and in the second quartile for the five-year period. The Board discussed with management the Fund’s disappointing performance. Management explained that the Fund’s underweighting in Japanese securities had been the primary reason for the most recent underperformance.

 

Next the Board discussed with the Fund’s CCO and management, the compliance oversight questions raised in connection with Dreyfus’ recent implementation of a “dual employee” arrangement with its affiliated company, TBC, whereby portfolio management employees of TBC provide portfolio management services to the Fund on behalf of Dreyfus. The Board considered that although Dreyfus and TBC are affiliated companies, under certain circumstances their management structures, supervisory chains of command and internal resources may be distinct. Therefore, the Board concluded that it

Supplemental Information (Continued)

would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to terminate the subadvisory agreement with Dreyfus and hire TBC directly as the Fund’s subadviser, effective on May 1, 2006, as permitted under the Fund’s exemptive order (which permits the Fund’s investment adviser to hire and fire unaffiliated subadvisers with Board approval). However, management noted that they had been meeting regularly with the portfolio management team, will continue to monitor the performance of the Fund, and may make recommendations to the Board in the future.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoints and considered that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the first quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. Moreover, the Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were the lowest in its Lipper Expense Group. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund is constructed as a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund pursues its investment objective by allocating the Fund’s investments primarily among other affiliated mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds typically invest, either directly or indirectly, in stocks, bonds, and other securities.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Shares of the Underlying Funds in which the Trust’s Fund invests are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds. The securities in the Underlying Funds generally are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually at 4 p.m. Eastern time). The Underlying Funds generally value securities and assets at current market value.

 

The following policies, (b) through (i), represent the accounting policies applicable to the Underlying Funds.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(i) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$579,994,699   $ 66,573,383   $ (1,683,308 )   $ 64,890,075

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee of 0.13% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Funds for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Funds. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $472,291 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

Because the Fund invests primarily in other affiliated funds, the Fund is a shareholder of those Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds do not charge the Fund any sales charge for buying or selling shares. However, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees of the Underlying Funds and short-term investments the Fund holds. These expenses are deducted from the Underlying Funds before their share prices are calculated and are in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund. Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how the Fund’s assets are spread among the underlying investments.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $1,224.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $70,495,320 and sales of $36,819,213.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark by 528 basis points for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005, and by 304 basis points for the three-year period. The Board noted however, that the Fund ranked in the third quartile of the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the one-year period and in the second quartile for the three-year period. The Board and management discussed the comparability of the Fund to other funds in its Lipper peer group, and noted that certain of the funds in the peer group are actively-managed products.

 

Next, the board reviewed the contractual advisory fee for the Fund which placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. Moreover, the Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses placed the Fund above the median of its Lipper Expense Group by 32 basis points. The Board discussed with management the reasons for this expense disparity. Management explained that the Fund share class used in the Lipper report was a share class with distribution expenses (Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) which are not found in most of the Fund’s peers in the

 

12


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

Supplemental Information (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

Lipper reports either because Lipper had selected a share class without a Rule 12b-1 fee, or the actively managed underlying funds had higher fees and distribution expenses may have been paid by the advisers of these other funds from profits. Without these fees, the Fund’s expenses are at the median of the Lipper Expense group. The Board was satisfied with management’s explanation of the expense disparity.

 

As the Fund is a “fund-of-funds” that invests its assets in one or more underlying funds (as well as a Nationwide insurance contract) the Fund bears its proportionate share of the operating expenses (including advisory fees) of each underlying fund in which the Fund invest. Therefore, as shareholders of the Fund, you indirectly bear a proportionate share of these underlying fund expenses. The Board considered whether the Fund’s payment of its proportionate share of the advisory fees of the underlying funds are for advisory services that are “in addition to” those advisory and subadvisory services your Fund receives from its adviser and subadviser, Fund Asset Management (“FAM”). The Board considered management’s reports that there was no layering of fees and noted the additional services management provides to the Fund that are in addition to the advisory services that are provided to the underlying funds. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability in connection with managing this Fund and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund is constructed as a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund pursues its investment objective by allocating the Fund’s investments primarily among other affiliated mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds typically invest, either directly or indirectly, in stocks, bonds, and other securities including the Nationwide Contract. The Nationwide Contract is a fixed interest contract issued and guaranteed by Nationwide Life Insurance Company (“Nationwide”). This contract has a stable principal value and will pay the Fund a fixed rate of interest. The fixed interest rate must be at least 3.50% (on an annual basis), but may be higher and is currently adjusted on a quarterly basis. Nationwide will calculate the interest rate in the same way that it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts. Because the contract is guaranteed by Nationwide, assuming no default, the Fund receives no more or less than the guaranteed amount and will not directly participate in the actual experience of the assets underlying the contract. Although under certain market conditions the Fund’s performance may be hurt by its investment in the Nationwide Contract, the portfolio management team believes that the relatively stable nature of the Nationwide Contract should reduce the Fund’s volatility and overall risk, especially when the bond and stock markets decline simultaneously. The Fund’s target allocation range is 0-10%.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Shares of the Underlying Funds in which the Trust’s Fund invests are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds. The securities in the Underlying Funds generally are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually at 4 p.m. Eastern time). The Underlying Funds generally value securities and assets at current market value. Under most circumstances, the fixed interest contract is valued at par value each day, which is deemed to be fair value. The par value is calculated each day by the summation of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

following factors: prior day’s par value; prior day’s interest accrued (par multiplied by guaranteed fixed rate); and current day net purchase or redemption.

 

The following policies, (b) through (i), represent the accounting policies applicable to the Underlying Funds.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(i) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$1,370,166,133   $ 131,733,342   $ (10,130,548 )   $ 121,602,794

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee of 0.13% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Funds for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Funds. GDSI is majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $1,014,990 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

Because the Fund invests primarily in other affiliated funds, the Fund is a shareholder of those Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds and the Nationwide Contract do not charge the Fund any sales charge for buying or selling shares. However, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees of the Underlying Funds and short-term investments the Fund holds. These expenses are deducted from the Underlying Funds before their share prices are calculated and are in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund. Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how the Fund’s assets are spread among the underlying investments.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $542.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $279,111,641 and sales of $43,924,665.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark by 434 basis points over the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 and by 232 basis points over the three-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance placed it in the second quartile of the Lipper Global Flexible Funds category for both the one- and three-year periods, and noted that the Fund beat its category median by 12 basis points and 48 basis points, respectively, over those periods.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee which placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses placed the fund above the median of its Lipper Expense Group by 32 basis points. The Board discussed with management the reasons for this expense disparity. Management explained that the Fund share class used in the Lipper report was a share class with distribution expenses (Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) which are not found in most of the Fund’s peers in the Lipper reports either because Lipper had selected a share class without a Rule 12b-1 fee, or the actively managed underlying funds had higher fees and

distribution expenses may have been paid by the advisers of these other funds from profits. Without these fees, the Fund’s expenses are at the median of the Lipper Expense group. The Board was satisfied with management’s explanation of the expense disparity.

 

As the Fund is a “fund-of-funds” that invests its assets in one or more underlying funds (as well as a Nationwide insurance contract) the Fund bears its proportionate share of the operating expenses (including advisory fees) of each underlying fund in which the Fund invest. Therefore, as shareholders of the Fund, you indirectly bear a proportionate share of these underlying fund expenses. The Board considered whether the Fund’s payment of its proportionate share of the advisory fees of the underlying funds are for advisory services that are “in addition to” those advisory and subadvisory services your Fund receives from its adviser and subadviser, Fund Asset Management (“FAM”). The Board considered management’s reports that there was no layering of fees and noted the additional services management provides to the Fund that are in addition to the advisory services that are provided to the underlying funds. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors, and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund is constructed as a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund pursues its investment objective by allocating the Fund’s investments primarily among other affiliated mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds typically invest, either directly or indirectly, in stocks, bonds, and other securities including the Nationwide Contract. The Nationwide Contract is a fixed interest contract issued and guaranteed by Nationwide Life Insurance Company (“Nationwide”). This contract has a stable principal value and will pay the Fund a fixed rate of interest. The fixed interest rate must be at least 3.50% (on an annual basis), but may be higher and is currently adjusted on a quarterly basis. Nationwide will calculate the interest rate in the same way that it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts. Because the contract is guaranteed by Nationwide, assuming no default, the Fund receives no more or less than the guaranteed amount and will not directly participate in the actual experience of the assets underlying the contract. Although under certain market conditions the Fund’s performance may be hurt by its investment in the Nationwide Contract, the portfolio management team believes that the relatively stable nature of the Nationwide Contract should reduce the Fund’s volatility and overall risk, especially when the bond and stock markets decline simultaneously. The Fund’s target allocation range is 5-15%.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Shares of the Underlying Funds in which the Trust’s Fund invests are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds. The securities in the Underlying Funds generally are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually at 4 p.m. Eastern time). The Underlying Funds generally value securities and assets at current market value. Under most circumstances, the fixed interest contract is valued at par value each day, which is deemed to be fair value. The par value is calculated each day by the summation of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

following factors: prior day’s par value; prior day’s interest accrued (par multiplied by guaranteed fixed rate); and current day net purchase or redemption.

 

The following policies, (b) through (i), represent the accounting policies applicable to the Underlying Funds.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of future contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(i) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


   Unrealized
Appreciation


   Unrealized
Depreciation


  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$1,891,249,229

   $155,845,816    $(23,611,164)   $132,234,652

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee of 0.13% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Funds for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Funds. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $1,358,635 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

Because the Fund invests primarily in other affiliated funds, the Fund is a shareholder of those Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds and the Nationwide Contract do not charge the Fund any sales charge for buying or selling shares. However, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees of the Underlying Funds and short-term investments the Fund holds. These expenses are deducted from the Underlying Funds before their share prices are calculated and are in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund. Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how the Fund’s assets are spread among the underlying investments.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $2,062.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $400,175,843 and sales of $53,250,443.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark by 256 basis points for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 and by 140 basis points for the trailing three-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the second quartile of the Lipper Balanced Funds category for both the one- and three-year periods, beating the category median by 167 basis points and 118 basis points, respectively. The Board discussed with management the small number of peer funds in the report and the comparability of the Fund to others in its peer group since some of these funds are actively-managed.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and considered the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group, while the Fund’s total expenses are above the median of its Lipper Expense Group by 41 basis points. The Board discussed with management the reasons for this expense disparity. Management explained that the Fund share class used in the Lipper report was a share class with distribution expenses (Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) which are not found in most of the Fund’s peers in the Lipper reports either because

Supplemental Information (Continued)

Lipper had selected a share class without a Rule 12b-1 fee, or the actively managed underlying funds had higher fees and distribution expenses may have been paid by the advisers of these other funds from profits. Management noted that, without inclusion of these distribution fees, the Fund’s expenses are only 2 basis points above the median of its Lipper Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with management’s explanation of the expense disparity.

 

As the Fund is a “fund-of-funds” that invests its assets in one or more underlying funds (as well as a Nationwide insurance contract) the Fund bears its proportionate share of the operating expenses (including advisory fees) of each underlying fund in which the Fund invest. Therefore, as shareholders of the Fund, you indirectly bear a proportionate share of these underlying fund expenses. The Board considered whether the Fund’s payment of its proportionate share of the advisory fees of the underlying funds are for advisory services that are “in addition to” those advisory and subadvisory services your Fund receives from its adviser and subadviser, Fund Asset Management (“FAM”). The Board considered management’s reports that there was no layering of fees and noted the additional services management provides to the Fund that are in addition to the advisory services that are provided to the underlying funds. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors, and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund is constructed as a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund pursues its investment objective by allocating the Fund’s investments primarily among other affiliated mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds typically invest, either directly or indirectly, in stocks, bonds, and other securities including the Nationwide Contract. The Nationwide Contract is a fixed interest contract issued and guaranteed by Nationwide Life Insurance Company (“Nationwide”). This contract has a stable principal value and will pay the Fund a fixed rate of interest. The fixed interest rate must be at least 3.50% (on an annual basis), but may be higher and is currently adjusted on a quarterly basis. Nationwide will calculate the interest rate in the same way that it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts. Because the contract is guaranteed by Nationwide, assuming no default, the Fund receives no more or less than the guaranteed amount and will not directly participate in the actual experience of the assets underlying the contract. Although under certain market conditions the Fund’s performance may be hurt by its investment in the Nationwide Contract, the portfolio management team believes that the relatively stable nature of the Nationwide Contract should reduce the Fund’s volatility and overall risk, especially when the bond and stock markets decline simultaneously. The Fund’s target allocation range is 10-20%.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Shares of the Underlying Funds in which the Trust’s Fund invests are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds. The securities in the Underlying Funds generally are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually at 4 p.m. Eastern time). The Underlying Funds generally value securities and assets at current market value. Under most circumstances, the fixed interest contract is valued at par value each day, which is deemed to be fair value. The par value is calculated each day by the summation of the

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

following factors: prior day’s par value; prior day’s interest accrued (par multiplied by guaranteed fixed rate); and current day net purchase or redemption.

 

The following policies, (b) through (i), represent the accounting policies applicable to the Underlying Funds.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(i) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


   

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$556,957,990   $ 30,172,296   $ (10,627,842 )   $ 19,544,454

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee of 0.13% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Funds for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Funds. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $412,502 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

Because the Fund invests primarily in other affiliated funds, the Fund is a shareholder of those Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds and the Nationwide Contract do not charge the Fund any sales charge for buying or selling shares. However, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees of the Underlying Funds and short-term investments the Fund holds. These expenses are deducted from the Underlying Funds before their share prices are calculated and are in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund. Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how the Fund’s assets are spread among the underlying investments.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had no contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $84,144,386 and sales of $49,798,686.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark by 161 basis points over the one-year period ended September 5, 2005 and by 79 basis points over the trailing three-year period. The Board considered that the Fund ranked in the second quartile of the Lipper Income Funds category for the one-year period, and beat the category median by 27 basis points, The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the third quartile and underperformed its category median by 230 basis points over the three-year period.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and considered the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed expense group. Moreover, the Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were above the median of the Fund’s lipper Expense Group by 24 basis points. The Board discussed with management the reasons for this expense disparity. Management explained that the Fund share class used in the Lipper report was a share class with distribution expenses (Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) which are not found in most of the Fund’s peers in the Lipper reports either because Lipper had selected a share class without a Rule 12b-1 fee, or the actively

managed underlying funds had higher fees and distribution expenses may have been paid by the advisers of these other funds from profits. Without these fees, the Fund’s expenses are at the median of the Lipper Expense group. The Board was satisfied with management’s explanation of the expense disparity.

 

As the Fund is a “fund-of-funds” that invests its assets in one or more underlying funds (as well as a Nationwide insurance contract) the Fund bears its proportionate share of the operating expenses (including advisory fees) of each underlying fund in which the Fund invest. Therefore, as shareholders of the Fund, you indirectly bear a proportionate share of these underlying fund expenses. The Board considered whether the Fund’s payment of its proportionate share of the advisory fees of the underlying funds are for advisory services that are “in addition to” those advisory and subadvisory services your Fund receives from its adviser and subadviser, Fund Asset Management (“FAM”). The Board considered management’s reports that there was no layering of fees and noted the additional services management provides to the Fund that are in addition to the advisory services that are provided to the underlying funds. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund is constructed as a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund pursues its investment objective by allocating the Fund’s investments primarily among other affiliated mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds typically invest, either directly or indirectly, in stocks, bonds, and other securities including the Nationwide Contract. The Nationwide Contract is a fixed interest contract issued and guaranteed by Nationwide Life Insurance Company (“Nationwide”). This contract has a stable principal value and will pay the Fund a fixed rate of interest. The fixed interest rate must be at least 3.50% (on an annual basis), but may be higher and is currently adjusted on a quarterly basis. Nationwide will calculate the interest rate in the same way that it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts. Because the contract is guaranteed by Nationwide, assuming no default, the Fund receives no more or less than the guaranteed amount and will not directly participate in the actual experience of the assets underlying the contract. Although under certain market conditions the Fund’s performance may be hurt by its investment in the Nationwide Contract, the portfolio management team believes that the relatively stable nature of the Nationwide Contract should reduce the Fund’s volatility and overall risk, especially when the bond and stock markets decline simultaneously. The Fund’s target allocation range is 20-30%.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Shares of the Underlying Funds in which the Trust’s Fund invests are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds. The securities in the Underlying Funds generally are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually at 4 p.m. Eastern time). The Underlying Funds generally value securities and assets at current market value. Under most circumstances, the fixed interest contract is valued at par value each day, which is deemed to be fair value. The par value is calculated each day by the summation of the

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

following factors: prior day’s par value; prior day’s interest accrued (par multiplied by guaranteed fixed rate); and current day net purchase or redemption.

 

The following policies, (b) through (i), represent the accounting policies applicable to the Underlying Funds.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Mortgage Dollar Rolls

 

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Mortgage dollar rolls may be implemented in the “to be” announced (“TBA”) market and are referred to as TBA’s on the Statement of Investments of the Fund. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

(i) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$311,877,935   $3,751,668   $(6,759,121)   $(3,007,453)

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF an investment advisory fee of 0.13% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Funds for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Funds. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $224,709 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

Because the Fund invests primarily in other affiliated funds, the Fund is a shareholder of those Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds and the Nationwide Contract do not charge the Fund any sales charge for buying or selling shares. However, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the operating expenses, including management fees of the Underlying Funds and short-term investments the Fund holds. These expenses are deducted from the Underlying Funds before their share prices are calculated and are in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund. Actual indirect expenses vary depending on how the Fund’s assets are spread among the underlying investments.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class VI shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class VI shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class VI shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class VI shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $1,602.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $101,951,811 and sales of $66,701,491.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of each Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering each Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about each Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreements) for the Funds, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to each Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew each Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2005. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the fourth quartile of the Lipper Income Funds category for the one- and three-year periods. The Board discussed with management the comparability of the Fund to others in its peer group since some of the funds in the peer group are actively-managed products.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. Moreover the Fund’s total expenses placed it above the median of the Lipper Expense Group by 29 basis points. The Board discussed with management the reasons for this expense disparity. Management explained that the Fund share class used in the Lipper report was a share class with distribution expenses (Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) which are not found in most of the Fund’s peers in the Lipper reports either because Lipper had selected a share class without a Rule 12b-1 fee, or the actively managed underlying funds had higher fees and distribution expenses may have been paid by the advisers of these other funds from profits. Without these fees, the Fund’s expenses are at the median of the Lipper Expense group. The Board was satisfied with management’s explanation of the expense disparity.

Supplemental Information (Continued)

As the Fund is a “fund-of-funds” that invests its assets in one or more underlying funds (as well as a Nationwide insurance contract) the Fund bears its proportionate share of the operating expenses (including advisory fees) of each underlying fund in which the Fund invest. Therefore, as shareholders of the Fund, you indirectly bear a proportionate share of these underlying fund expenses. The Board considered whether the Fund’s payment of its proportionate share of the advisory fees of the underlying funds are for advisory services that are “in addition to” those advisory and subadvisory services your Fund receives from its adviser and subadviser, Fund Asset Management (“FAM”). The Board considered management’s reports that there was no layering of fees and noted the additional services management provides to the Fund that are in addition to the advisory services that are provided to the underlying funds. Finally, the Board reviewed the adviser’s profitability in light of all of these factors and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Developing Markets Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, the separate accounts of American Skandia Life Insurance Corporation, Peoples Benefit Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Aegon, Canada Life Assurance Company, Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, Fortis Benefits, and First Great West Life & Annuity Insurance Company have purchased shares of the Gartmore GVIT Developing Markets Fund (the “Fund”). The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. In determining fair value prices, the Trust utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). The fair value prices of portfolio securities generally will be used when it is determined that the use of these prices will have a material impact on the net asset value of the Fund. When the Fund uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Fund’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets pursuant to agreements, requiring that the borrower deliver cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan of non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and thereafter requiring the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis and requiring the borrower to make up any shortfall of collateral. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. Collateral is marked-to-market daily to provide a level of collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

       Tax Cost of
Securities


     Unrealized
Appreciation


     Unrealized
  Depreciation  


       Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


       $ 279,900,082      $ 24,403,330      $ (18,606,563 )      $ 5,796,767

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GGAMT provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GGAMT advises. Gartmore Global Partners (the “subadviser”), an affiliate of GGAMT, manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Fund’s adviser an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreements, the adviser pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GGAMT and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

 

Fee Schedule    Total
Fees
     Fees

Up to $500 million

   1.05%      0.525%      0.525%

   1.00%      0.500%      0.500%

$2 billion or more

   0.95%      0.475%      0.475%

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

GGAMT and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 1.40% until at least May 1, 2007. GGAMT may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GGAMT, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GGAMT is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, the cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of the Fund, based on reimbursements which expire within three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made for expenses reimbursed by GGAMT, would be:

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $289,549,704 and sales of $313,087,820.

 

5. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk The Fund invests in emerging market instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs are included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Funds’ annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

  1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

  2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

  4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

  5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board considered that the GVIT Developing Markets Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended September 30, 2005 by 405, 151 and 295 basis points, respectively, and the Fund underperformed the median of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds category by 288 basis points over the one-year period. The Board noted the Fund’s continuing underperformance and discussed with management the additional steps being taken to address the Fund’s ongoing performance issues including action to reduce performance volatility and the addition of personnel to the portfolio management team for this Fund. The Performance Committee of the Board was directed to continue to closely monitor performance of the Fund.

 

Next the Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory (and subadvisory) fee and breakpoints for this Fund. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the third quintile of the Lipper-constructed Expense Group. However, the Board noted that the Fund has implemented a performance based fee, effective January 1, 2006, at which time the base management fee has been reduced by 10 basis points. The Trustees considered the total expenses for the Fund and compared total expenses to the Lipper Expense Group. The Trustees considered that the total expense ration placed the Fund above the median for the funds in the Lipper Expense Group, and noted that the total expenses were above the median due to distribution expenses. Although the advisory fee and total expenses were above the median for the Lipper Expense Group, the Board concluded that the implementation of the performance based fee, effective January 1, 2006, would reduce the advisory fee and total expenses for 2007, and would result in a lower advisory fee and total expenses in future years if the Fund did not deliver expected performance. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability and concluded it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

2 Directorships held in (1) any other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, (2) any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or (3) any company subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

3 Mr. DeVore has served as President of Otterbein College since 1984. Mark Thresher, President and Chief Operating Officer of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”) has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Otterbein College since 2000, currently serves as one of 30 of its trustees, and is currently one of two Vice Chairmen of the Board. NFS is under common control with each of the Gartmore companies that serve as investment advisers and principal underwriter to the Trust, as each is a majority-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation (“NC”) and, through NC, of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%).

 

4 Mr. Allen owns a 51% interest in Graimark Realty Advisors Inc., a 67% owner of G/W Jefferson-St Jean LLC (“Jefferson-St”), a real estate development company. Until July 28, 2004, Jefferson-St had a construction loan, guaranteed by Mr. Allen, in the principal amount of $12.5 million (“Construction Loan”), from Bank One, NA, obtained in August, 2002. On July 1, 2004, Bank One Corporation merged with and into J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (the “Merger”). Bank One Corporation was the parent company of Bank One, NA. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. is the parent company of J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., subadviser to two of the Funds of the Trust. On July 28, 2004, the Construction Loan was refinanced with an unaffiliated permanent lender. Neither Mr. Allen, nor the Trust’s management, believes that the Construction Loan, secured well in advance of the Merger, and refinanced within 28 days following the completion of the Merger, should result in Mr. Allen having a material business relationship with an investment adviser (or subadviser) or controlling person of an investment adviser (or subadviser) of the Trust.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT U.S. Growth Leaders Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT U.S. Growth Leaders Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 331/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers.

 

The cash collateral received by the Fund was pooled and, at June 30, 2006, was invested in the following:

 

Security Type


  

Issuer Name


   Value

   Maturity Rate

   Maturity Date

Bank Note — Floating Rate    Bank of America    $ 500,000    5.31%    07/03/06
Commercial Paper    Aegis Finance LLC      99,546    5.29%    07/21/06
Repurchase Agreement    Bank of America Securities LLC      3,691,304    5.32%    07/03/06

 

Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Statement of Investments.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had securities with the following market value on loan:

 

    Value of Loaned Securities

  Value of Collateral

   
    $4,262,050   $ 4,290,850    

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code,

 

11

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of Securities


  

Unrealized

Appreciation


  

Unrealized

Depreciation


  

Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$71,894,602    $2,633,165    $(2,535,068)    $98,097

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Investments, Inc. (“GGI”), a holding company. GGI is a majority-owned subsidiary of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”). GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GMF a base investment advisory fee that can vary depending on the Fund’s performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, as follows:

 

Fee Schedule*


   Fees

Up to $500 million

   0.90%

$500 million up to $2 billion

   0.80%

$2 billion or more

   0.75%

 

* The U.S. Growth Leaders Fund pays GMF a base management fee (as shown above) which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on the Fund’s performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. Thus, if the Fund outperforms the Fund’s benchmark by 12% or more over a 36-month period, the Fund will pay higher management fees. Conversely, if the Fund underperforms the Fund’s benchmark by 12% or more over a 36 month period, the Fund will pay lower management fees. No adjustment will take place if the under or overperformance is less than 12% and GMF will receive the applicable base fee. The base rate and the performance rate are applied separately. The base rate (as may be reduced by any applicable base advisory fee breakpoints) is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the current quarter, while the performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the rolling 36-month performance period. The corresponding dollar values then are added to arrive at the overall GMF advisory fee for the current period. The base fee is either increased or decreased by the following amounts at each breakpoint:

 

Fee Schedule


   Fee Adjustment

Up to $500 million

   +/-0.22%

$500 million up to $2 billion

   +/-0.18%

$2 billion or more

   +/-0.16%

On September 21, 2004, the Enforcement Staff of the Commission’s Fort Worth District Office (the “Staff”) contacted GMF. The Staff asserted that the methodology used to calculate the performance fee for the Fund did not comply with the requirements of Rule 205-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). Appropriate remedial actions have been taken, and an offer of settlement has been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for its consideration. Management has forgone the performance fee bonus adjustment or paying a performance fee penalty during the period of the SEC investigation. Upon final resolution of the SEC investigation, management will resume collecting a performance bonus or paying a performance penalty on the Fund’s performance for each successive period.

 

GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) limiting operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 1.15% for all classes until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

 

As of the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of shares of the Fund, based on reimbursements which expire within three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made for expenses reimbursed by GMF.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

 

Combined Fee Schedule*

Up to $1 billion

   0.15%

* The assets of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund, and the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund (collectively, the “Investor Destinations Funds”) are excluded from the Trust asset level amount in order to calculate this asset-based fee. The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $54,203 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $8,128.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $113,255,759 and sales of $110,600,106.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2005, the Fund had outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, by 1,047 and 898 basis points, respectively. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the first quartile of the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds category for both periods.

 

The Board then discussed with management the distribution of the Fund and the pending resolution of the investigation by the SEC into the Fund’s performance fee structure. Management explained that while the Fund continues to maintain its performance-based fee structure, management has foregone the performance fee bonus adjustment during the period of the SEC investigation. Upon final resolution of the SEC investigation, management will resume collecting a performance bonus or paying a performance penalty on the Fund’s performance for each successive period.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and breakpoints and considered the performance-based fee structure of the advisory fee. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fifth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group, but within the range of contractual advisory fees of the Lipper Expense Group. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were above the median of the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group by 43 basis points. Management explained to the Board that the Fund’s higher expenses are attributable to a higher management fee as

Supplemental Information (Continued)

well as a higher distribution cost. Management also noted that there were not many concentrated funds in the insurance space, so it was difficult for Lipper to construct an appropriate Expense Group of peers, which affected the expense comparisons. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability in light of all of the above, and determined it was not excessive.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory agreement for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Global Utilities Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Global Utilities Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of Securities


  

Unrealized
Appreciation


  

Unrealized
Depreciation


  

Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$39,090,209    $4,153,305    $(1,326,752)    $2,826,553

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GGAMT provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GGAMT advises. Gartmore Global Partners (the “subadviser”), an affiliate of GGAMT, manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GGAMT an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GGAMT pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GGAMT and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

     0.65 %    0.325 %    0.325 %

Over $2 billion

     0.60 %    0.300 %    0.300 %

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the Global Utilities Composite Index, which is comprised of 60% MSCI World Telecommunication Services Index and 40% MSCI World Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

 

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $25,421 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the adviser or affiliates of the adviser directly held 10% of the shares outstanding of the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $1,653.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $18,762,971 and sales of $21,226,042.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Utilities Index (40%)/MSCI World Telecom Index (60%), by 1,071 basis points for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 and by 290 basis points for the three-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the third quartile of the Lipper Utilities Fund category for the one-year period and ranked in the second quartile for the three-year period. The Board then discussed with management the performance and distribution of the Fund.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoints and considered that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total expenses were above the median of the Fund’s Lipper Expense Group by 2 basis points. The Board considered, however, that this Fund implemented a performance-based fee structure on January 1, 2006, and the base management fee was reduced by 10 basis points on that date. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profit margin in managing the Fund in light of all of the above, and determined it was not excessive.

Supplemental Information (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and subadvisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

 

On May 25, 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), the parent companies of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) and GGAMT’s investment advisory subsidiaries, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMFCT”) and Gartmore Morley Capital Management, Inc. (“GMCM”), each of which, along with GGAMT, serves as an investment adviser to various series of the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (the “Funds”), announced that Nationwide entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Gartmore Group Limited (“GGL”), including certain of GGL’s subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Sale”). GGL’s U.K. investment advisory subsidiaries includes Gartmore Global Partners (“GGP”), the Fund’s current sub-adviser. Management informed the Board that, pending regulatory approval in the U.K. and other such appropriate jurisdiction, the U.K. Sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2006, at which time a change in control of GGP will occur that will cause GGP’s current subadvisory agreement with the Fund to terminate. Management recommended that the Board approve a new Subadvisory agreement with newly-unaffiliated GGP, in reliance upon the Manager of Managers Exemptive order the Funds have obtained from the SEC to take effect immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale to ensure continued provision of Subadvisory services by GGP to the Fund. The Board considered management’s representation that upon the closing of the U.K. Sale: (1) the Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage the Fund’s assets at this time; however, they will now do so on behalf of affiliated GGP at this time; (2) that the Fund will be managed in the same way, utilizing the same investment objective and strategies used by affiliated GGP now; and (3) the Subadvisory fees paid to unaffiliated GGP will be the same as those currently paid to affiliated GGP. At the time the Board selected and approved the adviser to the Fund, Board considered, among other factors, the advisory fee compared to a peer group of funds, the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Since the adviser will pay the sub-adviser from the fees paid by the Fund to the adviser, and since the fees and expenses for the Fund will not change as a result of the change to the sub-adviser, the Board did not further consider these factors. Consequently, at its Regular Quarterly Meeting on June 14, 2006, the Board approved the continuation of affiliated GGP’s subadvisory agreement with new unaffiliated GGP, effective immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale which as of the date of printing of this report, had not yet occurred.

Shareholder

Expense Example

Gartmore GVIT Global Financial Services Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of October 30, 1997, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the Gartmore GVIT Global Financial Services Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Debt (including defaulted issues) and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price and/or by using a combination of daily quotes and matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are considered to be “short-term” and are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee,

Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if

 

11


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

 

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Short Sales

 

The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling of portfolio securities which obligates the Fund to replace any security that the Fund has borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the

 

12


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund generally will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between these dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash, U.S. Government securities and/or securities held long to sufficiently cover the Fund’s short position on a daily basis. Dividends declared on securities sold short are recorded as an expense on the ex-dividend date and paid to the counterparty on the dividend pay date. The collateral for securities sold short includes the deposits with brokers and securities held long as shown in the Statement of Investments for the Fund.

 

(i) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(j) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(l) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of Securities


 

Unrealized

Appreciation


 

Unrealized
Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$32,393,165   $1,834,310   $(388,636)   $1,445,674

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(m) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GGAMT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GGAMT provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GGAMT advises. Gartmore Global Partners (the “subadviser”), an affiliate of GGAMT, manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund.

 

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays GGAMT an investment advisory fee based on that Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreement, GGAMT pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GGAMT and the subadviser is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

   0.85%      0.425%      0.425%

$2 billion and more

   0.80%      0.400%      0.400%

 

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Fund’s base management fee (as adjusted for any applicable breakpoints) may increase or decrease proportionately depending on how the Fund performs relative to its benchmark, the MSCI World Financials Index. This performance fee is intended to reward or penalize the investment adviser for outperforming or underperforming the Fund’s benchmark.

 

The calculation of the total management fee is done in two separate steps. First, the Fund calculates a base fee (to be paid at the end of each quarter). The base fee rate results in an annual fee, calculated and accrued daily. The fee rate is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over that quarter. Second, a performance adjustment percentage is applied to the Fund’s average net assets over the 12-month rolling performance period. The performance adjustment amount is then added to (or subtracted from, as applicable) the base fee to arrive at the Fund’s total advisory fee for the most recently completed quarterly sub-period and that total fee is paid at the end of that most recently completed quarter.

The performance fee calculation applies to all of the Fund’s share classes equally, based on the performance of the Class III shares during the performance period. The table below shows the performance adjustment rate applicable to each Fund’s base fee.

 

Out or Underperformance


   Change in Fees

   +/- 0.04%

+/- 3 percentage point

   +/- 0.06%

+/- 4 percentage point

   +/- 0.08%

+/- 5 percentage point

   +/- 0.10%

 

The first such payment or penalty, if any, will be made at the end of March 2007 for the Fund (15 months after implementation of the performance-based fees on January 1, 2006). Thereafter, the performance adjusted advisory fee will be paid quarterly.

 

Under this performance fee arrangement, the investment adviser can receive a performance fee increase even if the Fund experiences negative performance that still exceeds its benchmark by more than the relevant percentage amount shown above.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires

regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $20,019 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the adviser or affiliates of the adviser directly held 16% of the shares outstanding of the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $43,594,819 and sales of $41,484,059.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class III shares that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class III shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class III shares on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class III shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $4,902.

 

5. Investment Transactions

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Fund had purchases of $43,594,819 and sales of $41,484,059.

 

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year. In the Lipper reports, Lipper selected an expense group consisting of the Fund and a representative sample of comparable funds (an “Expense Group”). The Lipper report also contained comparisons of total return performance. For purposes of the Lipper report, a “Performance Group” was used by Lipper to compare the total return performance of the Fund against that of similar funds, and the Performance Group may have been comprised of the same funds as the Fund’s Expense Group. The Lipper ranking methodology ranks the Fund based upon expense and performance comparisons. The highest/best performing funds are ranked in the first quintile, with the lowest performing funds ranked in the fifth quintile. The funds with the lowest expenses are ranked in the first quintile and the funds with the highest expenses are ranked in the fifth quintile. Therefore, the highest expense is defined as being in the 5th quintile while the highest performance is defined as being in the 1st quartile.

 

In considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement (and, where applicable, the sub-advisory agreement) for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors with respect to the Fund:

 

1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

3. the Fund’s total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

4. the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

5. the profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance and considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World/Financials Index, by 4 basis points for the one-year period ended September 30, 2005 and by 335 basis points for the three-year period. The Board considered that the Fund ranked in the second quartile of the Lipper Specialty/Miscellaneous Funds category for the one-year period, and ranked in the first quartile for the three-year period. The Board discussed with management the performance and distribution of this Fund.

 

Next, the Board reviewed the Fund’s contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoints and noted that the contractual advisory fee placed the Fund in the fifth quintile of its Lipper-constructed Expense Group. The Board also considered the Fund’s total expenses placed the Fund above the median of its Lipper Expense Group by 24 basis points. Management explained that the Fund’s higher expense ratio relative to its peers was primarily due to a higher management fee. However, the Board considered that the management fee was reduced by 10 basis points on January 1, 2006, in conjunction with the implementation of a performance-based fee structure for this Fund. Finally, the Board considered the adviser’s profitability in light of all of the above and determined it was not excessive.

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to continue the investment advisory (and subadvisory) agreements for the Fund for an annual period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

 

On May 25, 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”), the parent companies of Gartmore Global Asset Management Trust (“GGAMT”) and GGAMT’s investment advisory subsidiaries, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMFCT”) and Gartmore Morley Capital Management, Inc. (“GMCM”), each of which, along with GGAMT, serves as an investment adviser to various series of the Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (the “Funds”), announced that Nationwide entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Gartmore Group Limited (“GGL”), including certain of GGL’s subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom (the “U.K. Sale”). GGL’s U.K. investment advisory subsidiaries includes Gartmore Global Partners (“GGP”), the Fund’s current sub-adviser. Management informed the Board that, pending regulatory approval in the U.K. and other such appropriate jurisdiction, the U.K. Sale is expected to close during the third quarter of 2006, at which time a change in control of GGP will occur that will cause GGP’s current subadvisory agreement with the Fund to terminate. Management recommended that the Fund’s adviser assume responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale to ensure continued provision of investment management services to the Fund. The Board considered management’s representation that upon the closing of the U.K. Sale (1) the Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage the Fund’s assets at this time; however, they will now do so on behalf of the adviser; and (2) that the Fund will be managed in the same way, utilizing the same investment objective and strategies currently used by GGP. Consequently, at its Regular Quarterly Meeting on June 14, 2006, the Board approved the assumption by the adviser of day-to-day management of this Fund, effective immediately upon the closing of the U.K. Sale which as of the date of printing of this report, had not yet occurred.

Shareholder

Expense Example

American Funds GVIT Asset Allocation Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the American Funds GVIT Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund operates as a “feeder fund” which means that the Fund does not buy individual securities directly. Instead, the Fund invests all of its assets in another mutual fund, the American Asset Allocation Fund (the “Master Fund”), a series of the American Funds Insurance Series® (“American Funds”), which invests directly in individual securities. The Fund, therefore, has the same investment objective and limitations as the Master Fund in which the Fund invests and the same gross investment returns as the Master Fund.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the NAV of the Master Fund, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to the Fund, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The Fund’s NAV is determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time) (“Close of Trading”) on each day the Exchange is open for trading (“Business Day”). Each Fund may reject any order to buy Fund shares and may suspend the sale of Fund shares at any time.

 

The Master Fund calculates its NAV at the Close of Trading on each Business Day. Assets held by the Master Fund are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. The Master Fund, however, has adopted procedures for making “fair value” determinations if market quotations are not readily available. For example, if events occur between the close of markets outside the United States and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that, in the opinion of Capital Research and Management Company (“Capital Research”), the Master Fund’s investment adviser, materially affect the value of the portfolio securities of the Master Fund, the securities will be valued in accordance with the Master Fund’s

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

fair value procedures. Use of these procedures is intended to result in more appropriate NAVs. In addition, such use will reduce, if not eliminate, potential arbitrage opportunities otherwise available to short-term investors in the Master Fund.

 

(b) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(c) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the NAV of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


   Unrealized
Appreciation


   Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 

$19,069,183

   $    $ (12,212 )   $ (12,212 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(e) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Master Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Capital Research manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Master Fund. Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides non-investment master-feeder operational support services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Trust’s Master-Feeder Services Agreement with GSA on behalf of the Fund, the Fund pays GSA a fee of 0.25% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. GSA has entered into a contractual agreement with the Trust under which GSA will waive 0.15% of the fees GSA receives for the providing the Fund with non-investment master-feeder operational support services until May 1, 2007.

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, GSA provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all Funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares and Class VII shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of Class II shares and 0.40% of Class VII shares.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $2,867 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Master Fund had purchases of $1,231,288 and sales of $1,240,593.

 

5. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in emerging markets instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging markets debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization – American Funds Insurance Series (the “series”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company with 14 different funds. The assets of each fund are segregated, with each fund accounted for separately. The funds’ investment objectives are as follows:

 

Global Discovery Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies in the services and information area of the global economy.

Global Growth Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located around the world.

Global Small Capitalization Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of smaller companies located around the world.

Growth Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies that offer opportunities for growth of capital.

International Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located outside the U.S.

New World Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies with significant exposure to countries with developing economies and/or markets.

Blue Chip Income and Growth Fund

   To produce income exceeding the average yield on U.S. stocks and to provide an opportunity for growth of principal.

Global Growth and Income Fund

   Long-term growth of capital and current income by investing primarily in stocks of well-established companies located around the world.

Growth-Income Fund

   Growth of capital and income by investing primarily in common stocks or other securities that demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends.

Asset Allocation Fund

   High total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital.

Bond Fund

   As high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in fixed-income securities.

High-Income Bond Fund

   High current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation by investing primarily in intermediate and long-term corporate obligations, with emphasis on higher yielding, higher risk, lower rated or unrated securities.

U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund

   A high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital by investing primarily in a combination of securities guaranteed by the U.S. government and other debt securities rated AAA or Aaa.

Cash Management Fund

   High current yield while preserving capital by investing in a diversified selection of high-quality money market instruments.

Each fund offers two or three share classes (1, 2 and 3). Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses (“class-specific fees and expenses”), primarily due to different arrangements for certain distribution expenses. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.


Table of Contents

Significant accounting policies – The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the series:

Security valuation – Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices. Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the series’ board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued.

Security transactions and related investment income – Security transactions are recorded by the series as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the series will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations –Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution expenses, are accrued daily and charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders –Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Non-U.S. currency translation – Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. In the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in non-U.S. exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies are disclosed separately.


Table of Contents

Forward currency contracts – The series may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange non-U.S. currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The series enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in non-U.S. exchange rates arising from investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates. Due to these risks, the series could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the series values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The series records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

Mortgage dollar rolls – The series may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which a fund in the series sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a financing transaction; therefore, any gain or loss is considered unrealized until the roll reaches completion. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Income is generated as consideration for entering into these transactions and is included in interest income on the accompanying financial statements.

2. Non-U.S. investments

Investment risk – The risks of investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; revaluation of currencies; adverse political, social and economic developments; government involvement in the private sector; limited and less reliable investor information; lack of liquidity; certain local tax law considerations; and limited regulation of the securities markets.

Taxation – Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.

3. Federal income taxation and distributions

The series complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The series is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

Distributions – Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; deferred expenses; paydowns on fixed-income securities; net capital losses; non-U.S. taxes on capital gains; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of December 31, 2005, the funds’ most recent fiscal year end. Tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments are reported as of June 30, 2006.

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the series’ investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company SM (“AFS”), the series’ transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, Inc. SM (“AFD”), the principal underwriter of the series’ shares.

Investment advisory services – The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on annual rates that generally decrease as average net asset levels increase.

The board of trustees approved an amended agreement for Growth-Income Fund and Global Small Capitalization Fund, effective April 1, 2006, and July 1, 2006, respectively, that provided for reduced annual rates as reflected in the chart below. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, CRMC voluntarily reduced investment advisory services fees to the rates provided by the amended agreement for Global Small Capitalization Fund. Additionally, CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees for all funds in the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, total aggregate investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $13,732,000. As a result, the aggregate fees shown on the accompanying financial statements of $137,318,000 were reduced to $123,586,000. The amended range of rates and asset levels and the current annualized rates of average net assets for the series, before and after the expense waiver, are as follows:

Transfer agent services – The aggregate fee of $25,000 was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2006, pursuant to an agreement with AFS. Under this agreement, the series compensates AFS for transfer agent services, including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing.


Table of Contents

Deferred trustees’ compensation – Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the series, are treated as if invested in one or more of the American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the series and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation of $421,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $244,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $177,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the series are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the series.

5. Distribution services

The series has adopted plans of distribution for Class 2 and 3 shares. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares. The plans provide for annual expenses, based on average daily net assets, of 0.25% for Class 2 and 0.18% for Class 3 to pay service fees to firms that have entered into agreements with the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, distribution expenses under the plans for the series aggregated $77,715,000 for Class 2 and $1,101,000 for Class 3. Class 1 shares have not adopted a plan of distribution.

Expense example   unaudited

The funds in the American Funds Insurance Series serve as the underlying investment vehicle for various insurance products. As an owner of an insurance contract that invests in one of the funds in the series, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the underlying funds only so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds that serve a similar function in other annuity products. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2006).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in 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 this period. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. 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 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the 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.

Shareholder

Expense Example

American Funds GVIT Bond Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the American Funds GVIT Bond Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund operates as a “feeder fund” which means that the Fund does not buy individual securities directly. Instead, the Fund invests all of its assets in another mutual fund, the American Bond Fund (the “Master Fund”), a series of the American Funds Insurance Series® (“American Funds”), which invests directly in individual securities. The Fund, therefore, has the same investment objective and limitations as the Master Fund in which the Fund invests and the same gross investment returns as the Master Fund.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the NAV of the Master Fund, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to the Fund, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The Fund’s NAV is determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time) (“Close of Trading”) on each day the Exchange is open for trading (“Business Day”). Each Fund may reject any order to buy Fund shares and may suspend the sale of Fund shares at any time.

 

The Master Fund calculates its NAV at the Close of Trading on each Business Day. Assets held by the Master Fund are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. The Master Fund, however, has adopted procedures for making “fair value” determinations if market quotations are not readily available. For example, if events occur between the close of markets outside the United States and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that, in the opinion of Capital Research and Management Company (“Capital Research”), the Master Fund’s investment adviser, materially affect the value of the portfolio securities of the Master Fund, the securities will be valued in accordance with the Master Fund’s fair value procedures. Use of these procedures is intended to result in more appropriate NAVs. In addition, such use will reduce, if not eliminate, potential arbitrage opportunities otherwise available to short-term investors in the Master Fund.

(b) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(c) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the NAV of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


   Unrealized
Appreciation


   Unrealized
Depreciation


  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


$5,152,967

   $—    $(110,882)   $(110,882)

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(e) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Master Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Capital Research manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Master Fund. Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides non-investment master-feeder operational support services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Trust’s Master-Feeder Services Agreement with GSA on behalf of the Fund, the Fund pays GSA a fee of 0.25% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. GSA has entered into a contractual agreement with the Trust under which GSA will waive 0.15% of the fees GSA receives for the providing the Fund with non-investment master-feeder operational support services until May 1, 2007.

 

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, GSA provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are

calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all Funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

* The assets of the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Aggressive Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderate Fund, the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Moderately Conservative Fund, and the Gartmore GVIT Investor Destinations Conservative Fund (collectively, the “Investor Destinations Funds”) are excluded from the Trust asset level amount in order to calculate this asset-based fee. The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares and Class VII shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of Class II shares and 0.40% of Class VII shares.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $782 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Master Fund had purchases of $886,794 and sales of $608,522.

 

5. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in emerging markets instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging markets debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

Global Discovery Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies in the services and information area of the global economy.
Global Growth Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located around the world.
Global Small Capitalization Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of smaller companies located around the world.
Growth Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies that offer opportunities for growth of capital.
International Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located outside the U.S.
New World Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies with significant exposure to countries with developing economies and/or markets.
Blue Chip Income and Growth Fund    To produce income exceeding the average yield on U.S. stocks and to provide an opportunity for growth of principal.
Global Growth and Income Fund    Long-term growth of capital and current income by investing primarily in stocks of well-established companies located around the world.
Growth-Income Fund    Growth of capital and income by investing primarily in common stocks or other securities that demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends.
Asset Allocation Fund    High total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital.
Bond Fund    As high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in fixed-income securities.
High-Income Bond Fund    High current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation by investing primarily in intermediate and long-term corporate obligations, with emphasis on higher yielding, higher risk, lower rated or unrated securities.
U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund    A high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital by investing primarily in a combination of securities guaranteed by the U.S. government and other debt securities rated AAA or Aaa.
Cash Management Fund    High current yield while preserving capital by investing in a diversified selection of high-quality money market instruments.

Each fund offers two or three share classes (1, 2 and 3). Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses (“class-specific fees and expenses”), primarily due to different arrangements for certain distribution expenses. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies – The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the series:

Security valuation – Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices. Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the series’ board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued.

Security transactions and related investment income – Security transactions are recorded by the series as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the series will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations –Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution expenses, are accrued daily and charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders –Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Non-U.S. currency translation – Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. In the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in non-U.S. exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies are disclosed separately.


Table of Contents

Forward currency contracts – The series may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange non-U.S. currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The series enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in non-U.S. exchange rates arising from investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates. Due to these risks, the series could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the series values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The series records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

Mortgage dollar rolls – The series may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which a fund in the series sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a financing transaction; therefore, any gain or loss is considered unrealized until the roll reaches completion. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Income is generated as consideration for entering into these transactions and is included in interest income on the accompanying financial statements.

2. Non-U.S. investments

Investment risk – The risks of investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; revaluation of currencies; adverse political, social and economic developments; government involvement in the private sector; limited and less reliable investor information; lack of liquidity; certain local tax law considerations; and limited regulation of the securities markets.

Taxation – Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.

3. Federal income taxation and distributions

The series complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The series is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

Distributions – Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; deferred expenses; paydowns on fixed-income securities; net capital losses; non-U.S. taxes on capital gains; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of December 31, 2005, the funds’ most recent fiscal year end. Tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments are reported as of June 30, 2006.

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the series’ investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company SM (“AFS”), the series’ transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, Inc. SM (“AFD”), the principal underwriter of the series’ shares.

Investment advisory services – The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on annual rates that generally decrease as average net asset levels increase.

The board of trustees approved an amended agreement for Growth-Income Fund and Global Small Capitalization Fund, effective April 1, 2006, and July 1, 2006, respectively, that provided for reduced annual rates as reflected in the chart below. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, CRMC voluntarily reduced investment advisory services fees to the rates provided by the amended agreement for Global Small Capitalization Fund. Additionally, CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees for all funds in the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, total aggregate investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $13,732,000. As a result, the aggregate fees shown on the accompanying financial statements of $137,318,000 were reduced to $123,586,000. The amended range of rates and asset levels and the current annualized rates of average net assets for the series, before and after the expense waiver, are as follows:

Transfer agent services – The aggregate fee of $25,000 was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2006, pursuant to an agreement with AFS. Under this agreement, the series compensates AFS for transfer agent services, including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing.


Table of Contents

Deferred trustees’ compensation – Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the series, are treated as if invested in one or more of the American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the series and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation of $421,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $244,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $177,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the series are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the series.

5. Distribution services

The series has adopted plans of distribution for Class 2 and 3 shares. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares. The plans provide for annual expenses, based on average daily net assets, of 0.25% for Class 2 and 0.18% for Class 3 to pay service fees to firms that have entered into agreements with the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, distribution expenses under the plans for the series aggregated $77,715,000 for Class 2 and $1,101,000 for Class 3. Class 1 shares have not adopted a plan of distribution.

Table of Contents
Expense example    unaudited

The funds in the American Funds Insurance Series serve as the underlying investment vehicle for various insurance products. As an owner of an insurance contract that invests in one of the funds in the series, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the underlying funds only so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds that serve a similar function in other annuity products. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2006).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in 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 this period. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. 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 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the 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.

Shareholder

Expense Example

American Funds GVIT Global Growth Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the American Funds GVIT Global Growth Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund operates as a “feeder fund” which means that the Fund does not buy individual securities directly. Instead, the Fund invests all of its assets in another mutual fund, the American Global Growth Fund (the “Master Fund”), a series of the American Funds Insurance Series® (“American Funds”), which invests directly in individual securities. The Fund, therefore, has the same investment objective and limitations as the Master Fund in which the Fund invests and the same gross investment returns as the Master Fund.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the NAV of the Master Fund, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to the Fund, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The Fund’s NAV is determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time) (“Close of Trading”) on each day the Exchange is open for trading (“Business Day”). Each Fund may reject any order to buy Fund shares and may suspend the sale of Fund shares at any time.

 

The Master Fund calculates its NAV at the Close of Trading on each Business Day. Assets held by the Master Fund are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. The Master Fund, however, has adopted procedures for making “fair value” determinations if market quotations are not readily available. For example, if events occur between the close of markets outside the United States and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that, in the opinion of Capital Research and Management Company (“Capital Research”), the Master Fund’s investment adviser, materially affect the value of the portfolio securities of the Master Fund, the securities will be valued in accordance with the Master Fund’s fair value procedures. Use of these procedures is intended to result in more appropriate NAVs. In addition, such use will reduce, if not eliminate, potential arbitrage opportunities otherwise available to short-term investors in the Master Fund.

(b) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(c) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the NAV of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


    Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)*


 
$4,325,209   $   $ (27,105 )   $ (27,105 )

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(e) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Master Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Capital Research manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Master Fund. Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides non-investment master-feeder operational support services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Trust’s Master-Feeder Services Agreement with GSA on behalf of the Fund, the Fund pays GSA a fee of 0.25% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. GSA has entered into a contractual agreement with the Trust under which GSA will waive 0.15% of the fees GSA receives for the providing the Fund with non-investment master-feeder operational support services until May 1, 2007.

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, GSA provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all Funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares and Class VII shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of Class II shares and 0.40% of Class VII shares.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $873 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Master Fund had purchases of $615,964 and sales of $451,141.

 

5. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in emerging markets instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging markets debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization – American Funds Insurance Series (the “series”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company with 14 different funds. The assets of each fund are segregated, with each fund accounted for separately. The funds’ investment objectives are as follows:

 

Global Discovery Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies in the services and information area of the global economy.
Global Growth Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located around the world.
Global Small Capitalization Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of smaller companies located around the world.
Growth Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies that offer opportunities for growth of capital.
International Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located outside the U.S.
New World Fund    Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies with significant exposure to countries with developing economies and/or markets.
Blue Chip Income and Growth Fund    To produce income exceeding the average yield on U.S. stocks and to provide an opportunity for growth of principal.
Global Growth and Income Fund    Long-term growth of capital and current income by investing primarily in stocks of well-established companies located around the world.
Growth-Income Fund    Growth of capital and income by investing primarily in common stocks or other securities that demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends.
Asset Allocation Fund    High total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital.
Bond Fund    As high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in fixed-income securities.
High-Income Bond Fund    High current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation by investing primarily in intermediate and long-term corporate obligations, with emphasis on higher yielding, higher risk, lower rated or unrated securities.
U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund    A high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital by investing primarily in a combination of securities guaranteed by the U.S. government and other debt securities rated AAA or Aaa.
Cash Management Fund    High current yield while preserving capital by investing in a diversified selection of high-quality money market instruments.

Each fund offers two or three share classes (1, 2 and 3). Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses (“class-specific fees and expenses”), primarily due to different arrangements for certain distribution expenses. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.


Table of Contents

Significant accounting policies – The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the series:

Security valuation – Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices. Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the series’ board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued.

Security transactions and related investment income – Security transactions are recorded by the series as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the series will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations – Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution expenses, are accrued daily and charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders – Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Non-U.S. currency translation – Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. In the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in non-U.S. exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies are disclosed separately.


Table of Contents

Forward currency contracts – The series may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange non-U.S. currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The series enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in non-U.S. exchange rates arising from investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates. Due to these risks, the series could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the series values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The series records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

Mortgage dollar rolls – The series may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which a fund in the series sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a financing transaction; therefore, any gain or loss is considered unrealized until the roll reaches completion. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Income is generated as consideration for entering into these transactions and is included in interest income on the accompanying financial statements.

2. Non-U.S. investments

Investment risk – The risks of investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; revaluation of currencies; adverse political, social and economic developments; government involvement in the private sector; limited and less reliable investor information; lack of liquidity; certain local tax law considerations; and limited regulation of the securities markets.

Taxation – Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.

3. Federal income taxation and distributions

The series complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The series is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

Distributions – Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; deferred expenses; paydowns on fixed-income securities; net capital losses; non-U.S. taxes on capital gains; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of December 31, 2005, the funds’ most recent fiscal year end. Tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments are reported as of June 30, 2006.

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the series’ investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company SM (“AFS”), the series’ transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, Inc. SM (“AFD”), the principal underwriter of the series’ shares.

Investment advisory services – The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on annual rates that generally decrease as average net asset levels increase.

The board of trustees approved an amended agreement for Growth-Income Fund and Global Small Capitalization Fund, effective April 1, 2006, and July 1, 2006, respectively, that provided for reduced annual rates as reflected in the chart below. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, CRMC voluntarily reduced investment advisory services fees to the rates provided by the amended agreement for Global Small Capitalization Fund. Additionally, CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees for all funds in the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, total aggregate investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $13,732,000. As a result, the aggregate fees shown on the accompanying financial statements of $137,318,000 were reduced to $123,586,000. The amended range of rates and asset levels and the current annualized rates of average net assets for the series, before and after the expense waiver, are as follows:

Transfer agent services – The aggregate fee of $25,000 was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2006, pursuant to an agreement with AFS. Under this agreement, the series compensates AFS for transfer agent services, including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing.


Table of Contents

Deferred trustees’ compensation – Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the series, are treated as if invested in one or more of the American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the series and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation of $421,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $244,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $177,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the series are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the series.

5. Distribution services

The series has adopted plans of distribution for Class 2 and 3 shares. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares. The plans provide for annual expenses, based on average daily net assets, of 0.25% for Class 2 and 0.18% for Class 3 to pay service fees to firms that have entered into agreements with the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, distribution expenses under the plans for the series aggregated $77,715,000 for Class 2 and $1,101,000 for Class 3.

Expense example

unaudited

The funds in the American Funds Insurance Series serve as the underlying investment vehicle for various insurance products. As an owner of an insurance contract that invests in one of the funds in the series, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the underlying funds only so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds that serve a similar function in other annuity products. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2006).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in 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 this period. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. 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 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the 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.

Shareholder

Expense Example

American Funds GVIT Growth Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the American Funds GVIT Growth Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Fund operates as a “feeder fund” which means that the Fund does not buy individual securities directly. Instead, the Fund invests all of its assets in another mutual fund, the American Growth Fund (the “Master Fund”), a series of the American Funds Insurance Series® (“American Funds”), which invests directly in individual securities. The Fund, therefore, has the same investment objective and limitations as the Master Fund in which the Fund invests and the same gross investment returns as the Master Fund.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the NAV of the Master Fund, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to the Fund, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The Fund’s NAV is determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time) (“Close of Trading”) on each day the Exchange is open for trading (“Business Day”). Each Fund may reject any order to buy Fund shares and may suspend the sale of Fund shares at any time.

 

The Master Fund calculates its NAV at the Close of Trading on each Business Day. Assets held by the Master Fund are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations. The Master Fund, however, has adopted procedures for making “fair value” determinations if market quotations are not readily available. For example, if events occur between the close of markets outside the United States and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that, in the opinion of Capital Research and Management Company (“Capital Research”), the Master Fund’s investment adviser, materially affect the value of the portfolio securities of the Master Fund, the securities will be valued in accordance with the Master Fund’s fair value procedures. Use of these procedures is intended to result in more appropriate NAVs. In addition, such use will reduce, if not eliminate, potential arbitrage opportunities otherwise available to short-term investors in the Master Fund.

(b) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(c) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the NAV of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
    Securities  


  

Unrealized

Appreciation


  

Unrealized

Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$7,586,368

   $9,872    $(26,985)   $(17,113)

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(e) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

 

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Master Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Capital Research manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Master Fund. Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides non-investment master-feeder operational support services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Trust’s Master-Feeder Services Agreement with GSA on behalf of the Fund, the Fund pays GSA a fee of 0.25% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. GSA has entered into a contractual agreement with the Trust under which GSA will waive 0.15% of the fees GSA receives for the providing the Fund with non-investment master-feeder operational support services until May 1, 2007.

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, GSA provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all Funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each Fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Funds’ Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II shares and Class VII shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of Class II shares and 0.40% of Class VII shares.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of the Fund. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, Nationwide Financial Services received $1,627 in Administrative Services Fees from the Fund.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, (excluding short-term securities) the Master Fund had purchases of $5,156,655 and sales of $5,061,567.

 

5. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

Credit and Market Risk. The Fund invests in emerging markets instruments that are subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of emerging markets debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic, or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of emerging markets investments held by the Fund.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization – American Funds Insurance Series (the “series”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company with 14 different funds. The assets of each fund are segregated, with each fund accounted for separately. The funds’ investment objectives are as follows:

 

Global Discovery Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies in the services and information area of the global economy.

Global Growth Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located around the world.

Global Small Capitalization Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of smaller companies located around the world.

Growth Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies that offer opportunities for growth of capital.

International Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located outside the U.S.

New World Fund

   Long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in stocks of companies with significant exposure to countries with developing economies and/or markets.

Blue Chip Income and Growth Fund

   To produce income exceeding the average yield on U.S. stocks and to provide an opportunity for growth of principal.

Global Growth and Income Fund

   Long-term growth of capital and current income by investing primarily in stocks of well-established companies located around the world.

Growth-Income Fund

   Growth of capital and income by investing primarily in common stocks or other securities that demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends.

Asset Allocation Fund

   High total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital.

Bond Fund

   As high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in fixed-income securities.

High-Income Bond Fund

   High current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation by investing primarily in intermediate and long-term corporate obligations, with emphasis on higher yielding, higher risk, lower rated or unrated securities.

U.S. Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund

   A high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital by investing primarily in a combination of securities guaranteed by the U.S. government and other debt securities rated AAA or Aaa.

Cash Management Fund

   High current yield while preserving capital by investing in a diversified selection of high-quality money market instruments.

Each fund offers two or three share classes (1, 2 and 3). Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses (“class-specific fees and expenses”), primarily due to different arrangements for certain distribution expenses. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies – The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the series:

Security valuation – Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices. Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the series’ board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued.

Security transactions and related investment income – Security transactions are recorded by the series as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the series will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations – Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution expenses, are accrued daily and charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders –Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Non-U.S. currency translation – Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. In the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in non-U.S. exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in non-U.S. currencies are disclosed separately.


Table of Contents

Forward currency contracts – The series may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange non-U.S. currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The series enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in non-U.S. exchange rates arising from investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates. Due to these risks, the series could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the series values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The series records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

Mortgage dollar rolls – The series may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which a fund in the series sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a financing transaction; therefore, any gain or loss is considered unrealized until the roll reaches completion. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Income is generated as consideration for entering into these transactions and is included in interest income on the accompanying financial statements.

 

2. Non-U.S. investments

Investment risk – The risks of investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; revaluation of currencies; adverse political, social and economic developments; government involvement in the private sector; limited and less reliable investor information; lack of liquidity; certain local tax law considerations; and limited regulation of the securities markets.

Taxation – Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Gains realized by the funds on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities.

 

3. Federal income taxation and distributions

The series complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The series is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

Distributions – Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as non-U.S. currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in non-U.S. securities; deferred expenses; paydowns on fixed-income securities; net capital losses; non-U.S. taxes on capital gains; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the funds for financial reporting purposes.

The components of distributable earnings on a tax basis are reported as of December 31, 2005, the funds’ most recent fiscal year end. Tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments are reported as of June 30, 2006.

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”), the series’ investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company SM (“AFS”), the series’ transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, Inc. SM (“AFD”), the principal underwriter of the series’ shares.

Investment advisory services – The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on annual rates that generally decrease as average net asset levels increase.

The board of trustees approved an amended agreement for Growth-Income Fund and Global Small Capitalization Fund, effective April 1, 2006, and July 1, 2006, respectively, that provided for reduced annual rates as reflected in the chart below. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, CRMC voluntarily reduced investment advisory services fees to the rates provided by the amended agreement for Global Small Capitalization Fund. Additionally, CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees for all funds in the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, total aggregate investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $13,732,000. As a result, the aggregate fees shown on the accompanying financial statements of $137,318,000 were reduced to $123,586,000. The amended range of rates and asset levels and the current annualized rates of average net assets for the series, before and after the expense waiver, are as follows:

Transfer agent services – The aggregate fee of $25,000 was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2006, pursuant to an agreement with AFS. Under this agreement, the series compensates AFS for transfer agent services, including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing.


Table of Contents

Deferred trustees’ compensation – Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the series, are treated as if invested in one or more of the American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the series and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees’ compensation of $421,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $244,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $177,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the series are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the series.

 

5. Distribution services

The series has adopted plans of distribution for Class 2 and 3 shares. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares. The plans provide for annual expenses, based on average daily net assets, of 0.25% for Class 2 and 0.18% for Class 3 to pay service fees to firms that have entered into agreements with the series. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, distribution expenses under the plans for the series aggregated $77,715,000 for Class 2 and $1,101,000 for Class 3. Class 1 shares have not adopted a plan of distribution.

Table of Contents
Expense example  

unaudited

The funds in the American Funds Insurance Series serve as the underlying investment vehicle for various insurance products. As an owner of an insurance contract that invests in one of the funds in the series, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the underlying funds only so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds that serve a similar function in other annuity products. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2006).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in 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 this period. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. 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 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Additional fees are charged by the insurance companies related to the various benefits they provide. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the 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.

Shareholder

Expense Example

GVIT International Index Fund

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) paid on purchase payments and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Per SEC requirements, the examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2006, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2006.

 

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line 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 of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Gartmore Variable Insurance Trust (“GVIT” or the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized under the laws of Delaware by an amended and restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated October 28, 2004, as amended to date. The Trust, originally created under the laws of Massachusetts as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated, as of June 30, 1981, and as subsequently amended, redomesticated as a Delaware Statutory Trust after the close of trading on April 29, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The redomestication was a change in statutory status and did not affect the operations of the Trust. As of June 30, 2006, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value (“shares”). The Trust currently offers shares to life insurance company separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable life insurance or annuity policies. To date, only the separate accounts of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (collectively, “Nationwide”) have purchased shares of the Trust’s series. The Trust currently operates thirty-six (36) separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the GVIT International Index Fund (the “Fund”).

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, the Trust has entered into Indemnification Agreements with the Trust’s trustees and certain officers covering similar liabilities. Trust Officers receive no compensation from the Trust for serving as the Trust’s Officers. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. Based on experience, however, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Security Valuation

 

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades.

 

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Methods utilized to obtain a “Fair Value” may include the following non-exclusive list of acceptable methods: (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) the discount from market value of a similar, freely traded security; (iii) the yield-to-maturity for debt issues; or (iv) a consolidation of the methods. The Gartmore Fair Value Committee considers a non-exclusive list of factors to arrive at the appropriate method upon determining “Fair Value.” For example, fair value determinations are required for securities whose value is affected by

a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time (i.e., a “subsequent event”). Typically, this will involve events occurring after the close of a foreign market on which a security trades and before the next Valuation Time.

 

The Fund values foreign securities at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time for the Fund, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the collateral held pursuant to the agreement at a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, with the counterparties of Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers, and Nomura Securities, which are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Agency Mortgages.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts in connection with purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

 

(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering these contracts, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

(e) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

(f) Futures Contracts

 

The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities or securities that the Fund intends to purchase against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. A gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price.

 

A “sale” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the creation of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.

 

Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions for hedging purposes involves the risk if imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the value of the underlying hedged assets.

 

(g) Written Options Contracts

 

The Fund may write options contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver (written call) or to receive (written put) a specified quantity of an underlying asset at the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. Options traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or in the absence of a sale, the bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded options are valued using dealer supplied quotes.

 

(h) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i) Securities Lending

 

To generate additional income, the Fund may lend their respective portfolio securities, up to 33 1/3% of the Fund, to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions provided that (1) the borrower delivers cash or securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and with respect to

 

33


Table of Contents

GARTMORE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)

 

each new loan on non-U.S. securities, collateral of at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned; and (2) at all times thereafter shall require the borrower to mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the value of securities loaned. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made, however, only to borrowers deemed by the Fund’s investment adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in judgment of the adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from these securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as custodian for the securities lending program of the Fund. JPMorgan Chase Bank receives a fee based on the value of the collateral received from borrowers. The Fund did not have securities on loan as of June 30, 2006.

 

(j) Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund’s distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either permanent or temporary in nature. In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, permanent differences (i.e., reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions) are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect upon the net asset value of the Fund. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, these distributions are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

 

(k) Federal Income Taxes

 

It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

 

As of June 30, 2006, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:

 

Tax Cost of
Securities


  Unrealized
Appreciation


  Unrealized
Depreciation


 

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

(Depreciation)*


$40,793,160   $343,460   $(2,364,963)   $(2,021,503)

 

* The differences between the book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

(l) Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses

 

Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all funds within the Trust. The method used by the Fund for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses is based on the fair value of shares outstanding relative to net assets. Under this method, each class of shares participates based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.

3. Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Gartmore Mutual Fund Capital Trust (“GMF”) manages the investment of the assets and supervises the daily business affairs of the Fund. GMF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Corporation. All of the common stock of Nationwide Corporation is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), each of which is a mutual company owned by the mutual company’s policyholders. In addition, GMF provides investment management evaluation services in initially selecting and monitoring, on an ongoing basis, the performance of the subadviser, for the Fund that GMF advises. Fund Asset Management, L.P. (the “subadviser”), manages all of the Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the Fund. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Fund’s adviser an investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. From such fees, pursuant to the subadvisory agreements, the adviser pays fees to the subadviser. Additional information regarding investment advisory fees and subadvisory fees for GMF and the subadviser is as follows for the period ended June 30, 2006:

 

Fee Schedule           Total
Fees
     Fees

$3 billion or more

          0.25%      0.175%      0.075%

 

GMF and the Fund have entered into a written contract (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) that limits operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, extraordinary expenses, short sale dividend expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, and administrative service fees) from exceeding 0.37% until at least May 1, 2007.

 

GMF may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by GMF, respectively, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement at a later date not to exceed three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made, (as described below), if the Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of the Fund to exceed the limits set forth above. No reimbursement will be made unless: (i) the Fund’s assets exceed $100 million; (ii) the total annual expense ratio of the Class making such reimbursement is less than the limit set forth above; and (iii) the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by GMF is not permitted.

 

As of the period ended June 30, 2006, the cumulative potential reimbursements for all classes of the Fund, based on reimbursements which expire within three years from the fiscal year in which the corresponding reimbursement to the Fund was made for expenses reimbursed by GMF, would be:

Under the terms of a Fund Administration and Transfer Agency Agreement, Gartmore SA Capital Trust (“GSA”) provides the Fund with various administrative and accounting services, and Gartmore Investors Services, Inc. (“GISI”), an indirect subsidiary of GSA, serves as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund. The fees for the services provided under this Agreement are calculated based on the Trust’s average daily net assets according to the fee schedule below. The fees are then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund and are paid to GSA. GSA pays GISI from these fees for GISI’s services.

The Investor Destinations Funds do not pay any part of this fee.

 

GSA and GISI have entered into agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), pursuant to which BISYS provides sub-administration and sub-transfer agency services, respectively, to the Fund.

 

Under the terms of a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Gartmore Distribution Services, Inc. (“GDSI”), the Fund’s Distributor, is compensated by the Fund for expenses associated with the distribution of the Class II, Class VI, Class VII and Class VIII shares of the Fund. GDSI is a majority-owned subsidiary of GGAMT. These fees are based on average daily net assets of Class II, Class VI, Class VII and Class VIII shares of the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% for Class II and Class VI shares and 0.40% for Class VII and Class VIII shares.

 

Under the terms of an Administrative Services Plan, the Fund may pay fees to servicing organizations, such as broker-dealers, including Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“Nationwide Financial Services”), an affiliate of GGAMT, and financial institutions, which agree to provide administrative support services to the shareholders of certain classes. These services include, but are not limited, to the following: establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts; processing purchase and redemption transactions; arranging bank wires; performing shareholder sub-accounting; answering inquires regarding the Fund; and other such services. These fees are based on an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class II, Class VI Class VII and Class VIII of shares of the Fund.

 

4. Short-Term Trading Fees

 

The Fund reserves the right to assess a short-term trading fee on certain transactions out of Class VI shares and Class VIII that a separate account makes on behalf of a variable insurance contract owner (the “contract owner”). A separate account that redeems Class VI shares and Class VIII shares on behalf of a contract owner may be subject to a 1.00% short-term trading fee if the separate account held the Class VI shares and Class VIII on behalf of the contract owner for 60 calendar days or less, unless an exception applies as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus. The short-term trading fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to offset the cost to the Fund of excess brokerage commissions and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading. For purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies, the Class VI shares and Class VIII shares that were held on behalf of the contract owner the longest will be treated as being redeemed first.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2006, the Fund had contributions to capital due to collection of redemption fees in the amount of $891.

6. Bank Loans and Earnings Credit

 

The Trust has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase & Co., the Fund’s custodian bank, permitting the Trust to borrow up to $100,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The interest costs, if any, would be included in other fees in the Statement of Operations. No compensating balances were required under the terms of the line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding under this line of credit as of June 30, 2006.

 

The Trust’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce the bank’s fees (earnings credit) when the Funds of the Trust maintain cash on deposit in non-interest-bearing custody and Demand Deposit Accounts.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)

 

June 30, 2006

 

1. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) met on December 8, 2005 to preliminarily review the information the Board had requested, and which the Fund’s adviser had provided, including reports from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), in connection with the Fund’s annual contract renewal process pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and to have an opportunity to request and review any additional information the Board may deem useful in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreements on behalf of the Fund in advance of its annual Section 15(c) contract renewal meeting on January 12, 2006. The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent counsel regarding their legal duties and responsibilities in considering the Fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Following receipt and review of all of the preliminary information and such additional information as they had requested, the Board met on January 12, 2006 to consider all relevant information they had received about the Fund in connection with the annual Section 15(c) contract renewal process as well as other relevant information the Board had received at its regular meetings throughout the year.

 

In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and sub advisory agreements for the Fund, the Board considered among others, the following specific factors (to the extent each is applicable to new funds) with respect to the new Fund:

 

1. the Fund’s advisory fee and ancillary benefits;

 

2. the Fund’s advisory fee (including any breakpoints) compared to the advisory fees of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

3. the Fund’s projected total expenses (and any expense limitations/fee waivers by the adviser) compared to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds;

 

4. the performance of the Fund’s proposed adviser in managing the Fund compared to its benchmark and its peer group of funds; and

 

5. the projected profitability (or lack thereof) to the Fund’s adviser.

 

Additionally, where the adviser manages accounts for other institutional clients (other than the Fund), the Board also considered the advisory fees charged to those clients compared to the Fund’s advisory fees. Following its review and discussions, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that it was appropriate to renew the Fund’s advisory (and, if applicable, sub-advisory) agreement for the following reasons:

 

In particular, the Board reviewed the memorandum and related information management had provided in connection with management’s proposal to create several new insurance- dedicated funds, including the Fund, that will be sold through various Nationwide variable annuity and variable life products. The Board considered that the Fund will be managed by the same adviser and subadviser who currently manage the Gartmore International Index Fund, an affiliated retail mutual fund. Management represented that the Fund will receive the same nature and quality of services that the investment adviser and subadviser provide to the retail fund at the same contractual advisory fee (including the subadvisory fee) and breakpoint levels as the retail fund. While the Board could not consider or evaluate the investment performance of the Fund, as it did not commence operations until May 1, 2006, the Board considered the adviser’s and subadviser’s performance in managing substantially similar products, including the retail fund, relative to the Fund’s benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index. The Board also considered the adviser’s and subadviser’s performance as compared to the performance of other funds in the Fund’s Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds category.

 

Next, the Board considered the Fund’s proposed contractual advisory fee (including subadvisory fee) and noted that this fee is the same as the contractual advisory fee (and subadvisory fee) of the Fund’s retail counterpart, the Gartmore International Index Fund, a retail fund. The Board considered comparative fee and expense information for the retail fund in approving the advisory contract for the retail fund. As a new Fund, the Board had no adviser profitability to analyze at this juncture.

 

Having considered all of the information the Board deemed relevant and being satisfied with the adviser’s responses to its questions, the Board determined to approve the investment advisory (and sub-advisory) agreements for the Fund for an initial two year period which commenced on May 1, 2006.

The Independent Trustees and the Board of Trustees of the registrant adopted a formal, written “Policy Regarding Shareholder Submission of Trustee Candidates,” as well as a formal, written “Statement of Policy On Criteria For Selecting Trustees,” on June 9, 2004, and June 10, 2004, respectively. Neither this policy nor this statement of policy has been materially changed since the Board of Trustees adoption of the policy and the statement of policy, respectively. The Nominating and Fund Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “NFGC”) and the Board of Trustees, however, on November 11, 2005, and January 12, 2006, respectively, approved amendments to this policy; these amendments to this policy, though, concern the criteria for selecting candidates for Trustees and the characteristics expected of candidates for Trustees, as set forth in the Exhibit A, “Statement of Policy On Criteria For Selecting Trustees,” to the policy and, arguably, may not be deemed to be material changes to the policy.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as conducted within ninety (90) days of the filing date of this report, that these disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed and are operating effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant on Form N-CSR is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the investment company’s management, including the investment company’s certifying officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Not applicable.

(b) If the report is filed under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, provide the certifications required by rule 30a-2(b) under the Act as an exhibit. A certification furnished pursuant to this paragraph will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.
