The Wright Managed Blue Chip Investment Funds


 

 
The Wright Managed Blue Chip Investment Funds consist of three equity funds from The Wright Managed Equity Trust and two fixed income funds from The Wright Managed Income Trust. Each of the five funds have distinct investment objectives and policies. They can be used individually or in combination to achieve virtually any objective. Further, as they are all “no-load” funds (no commissions or sales charges), portfolio allocation strategies can be altered as desired to meet changing market conditions or changing requirements without incurring any sales charges.
 
Approved Wright Investment List
 
 
Securities selected for investment in these funds are chosen mainly from a list of “investment grade” companies maintained by Wright Investors’ Service (“Wright” or the “Adviser”). Over 31,000 global companies (covering 63 countries) in Wright’s database are screened as new data becomes available to determine any eligible additions or deletions to the list. The qualifications for inclusion as “investment grade” are companies that meet Wright’s Quality Rating criteria. This rating includes fundamental criteria for investment acceptance, financial strength, profitability & stability and growth. In addition, securities, which are not included in Wright’s “investment grade” list, may also be selected from companies in the fund’s specific benchmark (up to 20% of the market value of the portfolio) in order to achieve broad diversification. Different quality criteria may apply for the different funds. For example, the companies in the Major Blue Chip Fund would require a higher Investment Acceptance rating than the companies in the Selected Blue Chip Fund.
 
 
Three Equity Funds
 
 
Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund (WSBC) (the Fund) seeks to enhance total investment return through price ap­preciation plus income. The Fund’s portfolio is characterized as a blend of growth and value stocks. The market capitalization of the companies is typically between $1-$10 billion at the time of the Fund’s investment. The ­Adviser seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor’s 400 Index (S&P 400) by selecting stocks using fundamental company analysis and company specific criteria such as valuation and earnings trends. The portfolio is then diversified across industries and sectors.

Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund (WMBC) (the Fund) seeks to enhance total investment return through price ap­preciation plus income by providing a broadly diversified portfolio of ­equities of larger well-­established com­panies with market values of $10 billion or more. The Adviser seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) by selecting stocks, using fundamental company analysis and company specific criteria such as valuation and earnings trends. The portfolio is then diversified across industries and sectors.

Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund (WIBC) (the Fund) seeks total return consisting of price appreciation plus income by investing in a broadly diversified port­folio of equities of well-established, non-U.S. companies. The Fund may buy common stocks traded on the securities exchange of the country in which the company is based or it may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADR’s) traded in the United States. The portfolio is denominated in U.S. dollars and investors should understand that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may impact the value of their investment. The Adviser seeks to outperform the MSCI Developed World ex U.S. Index by selecting stocks using fundamental company analysis and company-specific criteria such as valuation and earnings trends. The portfolio is then diversified across industries, sectors and countries.

Letter to Shareholders (unaudited)
 


January 2010

Dear Shareholders:

In summing up 2009, one is tempted to quote Charles Dickens from The Tale of Two Cities: It was the best of times, it was the worst – but that’s not quite right. The year certainly began as the worst in a long time, but the past year was not the best of anything, although for investors it was a whole lot better than 2008 and certainly better than most people thought possible 10 months ago. At the market low last March, the S&P 500 was down roughly 25% for the year, makings its 65% rise over the balance of the year – and its 26% total return for the entire year – highly improbable. That said, it is clear that 2010 is starting off with the financial markets and the global economy on much firmer footing than they were a year ago.

With the help of Federal Reserve liquidity injections and bailouts engineered by Congress and the Obama Administration, investors were coaxed into taking on more risk over the course of 2009, an inversion of 2008’s risk-averting behavior. Higher risk stocks, both those with smaller capitalizations and those with lower quality ratings, outperformed their bigger, more established counterparts. Emerging markets easily topped developed markets. High yield bonds averaged excess returns on the order of 60% for the year. The U.S. dollar lost 5% against a broad basket of foreign currencies. We expect investors will be far more discriminating in 2010, in at least a partial repudiation of the biggest “rubbish rally” in modern times that was 2009. The stock market’s rally lost some steam during the fourth quarter – the S&P 500’s Q4 return was only about 40% of its Q3 return – but that result (6.0% with income) was twice the market’s long-term average return for a three-month period.

For consumers and workers, 2009 was hardly the best of times, although conditions got better as the year progressed. Stimulus-related tax cuts helped to turn a roughly 3% decline in real wages and salaries for the year into an estimated 1.5% expansion in disposable personal income. At this time last year, consumer spending was declining at around a 4% annual rate, as the national mood was one of fear and despair. Consumer sentiment improved in a step-wise manner this past year, in part as a result of rebounding stock prices and, later in the year, on signs that jobs might be somewhat less hard to find in 2010. Despite the efforts of the Federal Reserve, however, credit conditions for many consumers, homeowners, municipalities and small businesses remain strained.

The Great Recession of 2008-09, as some have dubbed our recent economic troubles, appears of a piece with the 1958, 1974 and 1982 recessions as opposed to the deeper, longer economic declines (depressions) of the 1930s. True, the 18-20 months that the U.S. spent in recession from December 2007 through last summer exceeded the length of the 1957-58 (8 months), 1973-75 (16 months) and 1981-82 (16 months) declines. But its 3.7% peak-to-trough decline in real GDP matched the magnitude of the drop seen in 1958 and was not materially greater than the 3.2% decline in 1975 or the 2.9% decline in 1982. Unlike those earlier recessions, which were followed by GDP rebounds averaging more than 5.5% in the four quarters subsequent to recession’s end, the recovery we expect in 2010 is more likely to be in the 3%-3.5% range. That’s certainly better than we saw in 2006-09 (average GDP growth = 0.7%), but not sufficient to raise all boats, so to speak – particularly if U.S. economic growth disappoints later in 2010.

In our view, investing in quality stocks makes sense throughout the economic cycle – despite the occasional year, such as 2009, when markets are topsy-turvy. Assuming that one could time such market turns with a reasonable degree of accuracy, then a policy of swapping in and out of quality sectors might be worth the risk. But market timing is difficult to start with, and timing the ins and outs of quality might leave you with a portfolio of losers – that is, low quality stocks – if you get the timing wrong. Wright’s investment philosophy is grounded in the observation that if you invest in quality stocks and you get the timing wrong, at least you end up with shares of high-quality, profitable companies that over the longer term will reward you through the sheer persistence of their earnings power. By contrast, if you chase junk stocks and your timing is poor, the risk is that you will end up with a portfolio of highly leveraged, low growth, low ROE stocks – not the sort of portfolio that long-term investors should want to hold.

December’s disappointing jobs losses aside, the 208,000 decline in employment over the final three months of 2009 is a good number when compared to the roughly one million lost per quarter during the recession. Still, the fact that firms have been slow to add workers, suggests that there may be a limit to how much can be accomplished though the credit easing efforts of policy makers when the essential problem of this recession has been the financial system’s excessive debt. Nonetheless, based on expected corporate earnings growth of more than 25% in the year ahead and 10% in 2011, the bull market in stocks that began in March 2009 has a good chance of extending into 2010. Corporate profits are a key driver of stock prices in the long run. Quality stocks are expected to outdistance more speculative issues as investor focus shifts from the magnitude of earning growth to the persistence of earning growth. In the bond market, 2010 is likely to see somewhat higher Treasury yields and modest additional tightening in yield spreads on non-Treasury securities. While bond returns are seen keeping ahead of inflation in 2010, it probably won’t be by much.

Last year’s March-December recovery in stock prices has the major stock market averages up more than 60% off their lows, a tough act to follow in 2010. Within the context of the past decade, with its two major bear markets, stock prices are not at levels we would describe as a bubble. Clearly, the earnings support for current stock pricing is much more constructive than was seen at the dot.com highs 10 years ago. At the same time, credit conditions and market liquidity, while far from perfect, are much improved over the levels seen in the housing bubble. If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can better serve your investment and wealth management needs, please let us know.

Sincerely,

EQUITY FUNDS
 

The second decade of the 21st century is starting off with the financial markets and the global economy on firmer footing than they were a year ago. March 2009 marked the start of one of the steepest bull markets since the 1930s. After the S&P 500 earned the best quarterly returns in a decade in the second and third quarters of 2009, the continuation of the rally through the fourth quarter, even at a slower pace, was impressive. The market’s move wasn’t based just on hopes for better times ahead. This past summer, the combined efforts of aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus brought to an end the worst recession since the 1930s (although the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official arbiter of business cycles, had not yet made that call as this was written). Banks are regaining their financial health and credit markets are returning to normal although credit conditions remain tight for some would-be borrowers. Improvement in the developing economies of China and India will have a beneficial impact around the globe. The worst also appears to be over for corporate profits, which in Q4 rose for the first time on a year-over-year basis since Q2 2007.

The S&P 500’s return of 6.0% in the fourth quarter brought its full-year return for 2009 to 26.5%, its best year since 2003. The S&P 500’s rally in 2009, which took it up 65% in price in 10 months, recouped about half of its 2007-09 losses. The Dow Jones Industrials’ 8.1% return in the fourth quarter gave it a 22.7% return for the year. With technology stocks leading the market in the fourth quarter and the year, Nasdaq was the star of the major market averages in 2009, returning 45.4% for the year and 7.2% in the fourth quarter. Midcap stocks also had a stellar showing in 2009; the S&P MidCap 400 returned 37.4%, including 5.6% in the fourth quarter. The S&P SmallCap 600 returned 5.1% in Q4 and 25.6% for the year. As signs of economic recovery appeared, there was a cyclical bias to the market in both the fourth quarter and the year, with the S&P 500 led by strong showings in consumer discretionary and materials stocks as well as technology for both periods. In addition, smaller, lower-quality stocks tended to outperform more substantial, higher-quality issues, which is not unusual in the early stages of a market rally, though this trend showed signs of changing in the fourth quarter. International stocks outperformed the U.S. in 2009, with the MSCI World ex U.S. index of developed markets returning 33.7% in dollar terms for the year. For the year, the dollar declined in value compared to the currencies in the index, giving a boost to the dollar return. In Q4, international stock markets lagged U.S. equities, with the MSCI World ex U.S. index returning 2.4% in dollars; the dollar appreciated compared to the euro and the yen in Q4, reversing some of its March-September losses. Local currency returns also lagged in Q4 as economic data indicated the recovery in the European and Japanese economies may lag that of the U.S.      

At the start of 2010, the near and long-term outlooks for the financial markets and the economy appear brighter than they were a year ago. Nevertheless, we don’t underestimate difficulties ahead. As stimulus is gradually withdrawn, the private sector will have to step up its investment and consumption spending to keep the recovery going beyond 2010. We expect that consumers will save more and spend less for an extended period, good for the economy in the long run but a constraint on growth in the near to intermediate term. Despite the relatively subdued recovery expected over the coming year and into 2011, we still expect corporate profits to move higher. At its level at year-end 2009, the stock market had priced in a substantial profit increase in 2010, and we expect that to be realized. Although sales growth may be tepid early in the recovery, cost cuts and productivity improvements are likely to take profit margins higher. Investors will also be able to look ahead to further profit growth in 2011. In the short run, we would not be surprised to see a pause in the market’s rally or even some giveback, given the magnitude of recent gains. We also expect that investor preference will shift toward high-quality issues, with most of the easy gains in riskier issues already made. Even with some fits and starts, stocks have the potential to generate a double-digit return over the coming 12 months, in our view. We note, however, that the current investment environment has more than the usual amount of risk; moreover, international tensions and war on two fronts add to the uncertainty. We recommend holding high-quality securities and a mix of asset classes as a prudent policy for long-term investors.

The S&P MidCap 400 outperformed the S&P 500 in 2009 with a 37.4% gain compared to 26.5% for the S&P 500. The MidCaps lagged slightly in the fourth quarter – an indication that investors may be shifting toward larger issues. The Wright Selected Blue Chip Fund (WSBC) outperformed the S&P MidCap 400 benchmark in three of the four quarters of 2009, including the fourth quarter, when it returned 5.8% compared to 5.6% for the benchmark. For the year, WSBC returned 38.6% compared to the S&P MidCap’s 37.4%. In all of 2009, including the fourth quarter, a key factor in WSBC’s outperformance relative to the mid-cap benchmark was its positioning in the technology sector. WSBC was overweight in technology, one of the best-performing sectors in the index for the quarter and the year, and its stock selection in this sector was superior. An overweight position and strong stock selection in health care also helped the Fund for the quarter and the year. The Fund’s positioning in the financial sector was also positive for the year, though in the fourth quarter its financial holdings did not perform as well as the benchmark’s. Among the individual securities that contributed to the Fund’s outperformance in 2009 were Western Digital (+286%) Health Management Associates (+306%) and Priceline (+197%), while two airlines, JetBlue (-21%) and Alaska Air (-40%), both sold before year-end, were detractors. For the fourth quarter, WellCare Group (+49%), Acxiom (+42%) and Cliffs Natural Resources (+43%) were among the contributors, while Aeropostale and Protective Life, both down 22%, were among the laggards. The WSBC Fund is well positioned to benefit from the shift toward quality stocks that we anticipate for 2010. In the aggregate, WSBC companies had lower current and forward P/E multiples than those in the MidCap 400 with similar expected earnings growth as 2010 began. WSBC continues to be biased to the larger companies in the index and its holdings have better historic earnings growth than the index constituents. WIS continues to advise diversity in investment portfolios as the best way to navigate difficult economic times.



WRIGHT MAJOR BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND
 
The Wright Major Blue Chip Fund (WMBC) is managed as a blend of the large-cap growth and value stocks in the S&P 500 Composite, selected with a bias toward the higher-quality issues in the index. The WMBC Fund lagged the S&P 500 in 2009, losing a bit more in the first quarter and not rebounding quite as strongly for the rest of the year. For 2009, WMBC returned 17.8% compared to 26.5% for the S&P 500. In the fourth quarter, WMBC returned 5.2% compared to 6.0% for the benchmark. In the first quarter of 2009, the main reason for the WMBC’s underperformance compared to the benchmark was its relative overweight position in financial stocks, which were the worst-performing group in the index for the period. The overweight position in financials was a plus for the second and third quarters. But for the last three quarters of the year, the Fund’s holdings in most sectors did not recover as much as some of the lower-quality issues (based on the Wright Quality Rating and Standard & Poor’s Quality Rating) in the S&P 500 as investors took on more risk. The preference of investors for the smaller stocks in the index in 2009 also worked against the Fund, which is weighted toward the more substantial holdings in the S&P 500. At year end, the median market cap of Fund holdings was twice that of the S&P 500. This low-quality, low-price preference was most pronounced in the second and third quarters of 2009. There were some signs that this focus on riskier issues was abating in the fourth quarter, as WMBC’s holdings in the financial, health care, and information technology sectors outperformed those in the S&P 500. For the full year, health care was the only sector where WMBC outperformed the benchmark. In terms of specific issues, for all of 2009, positive contributors to WMBC’s results included Apple computer (+147%), American Express (+126%) and National-Oilwell (+85%), while detractors included Lexmark (-37%), Xerox (-42%) and Integrys Energy (-38%), all of which have been sold. For the fourth quarter, positive contributors included health care issues Medtronic (+20%) and Wellpoint (+23%), and tech stocks Microsoft (+18%), Harris Corp. (+27%) and Oracle (+18%). Apollo Group (-18%), Jacobs Engineering (-18%, sold) and Citigroup (-15%, sold) detracted from results. The recovery in stocks since March has been driven by rising P/E multiples. In our view, the firm prospect of improving earnings growth will be necessary to take stocks much higher; in the fourth quarter of 2009 and early 2010 there were signs of this transition taking place. WMBC is well positioned to take advantage of an environment in which stock performance is driven by fundamentals, with its bias toward the higher-quality issues in the S&P 500 and an attractive valuation. At year-end 2009, WMBC holdings in the aggregate were priced at lower current and forward P/E multiples than the S&P 500 despite better historic earnings growth and similar forecast earnings growth.

WRIGHT INTERNATIONAL BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND
 
The MSCI World ex U.S. Index outperformed the S&P 500 in 2009 with a 33.7% return in dollars, with the dollar’s depreciation against the currencies in the index accounting for the advantage. In local currencies, the MSCI index’s 25.3% was comparable to the 26.5% for the S&P 500. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the MSCI World ex U.S. index returned 2.4% in dollars, behind the S&P 500’s 6.0%. In Q4, an appreciating dollar detracted from the MSCI’s dollar return. The Wright International Blue Chip Fund (WIBC) edged ahead of the MSCI’s performance in 2009 with a 33.8% return. For the fourth quarter, WIBC returned 2.7% compared to 2.4% for the MSCI Index. As in the U.S., international stock markets generally saw lower quality and smaller stocks outperform bigger, stronger companies, though there was some reversal in the fourth quarter. Among the factors that helped WIBC overcome this for the year was its overweight position in financial stocks in the second and third quarters of 2009 when they were strong, and an underweight position in Q4 when the financial sector of the MSCI had a negative return. Strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary, financial and telecom also helped, while weakness in consumer staples and technology detracted from performance. In the fourth quarter, strong stock selection in industrials as well as the WIBC’s positioning in financials contributed to the outperformance. The Fund also got a good contribution from its holdings in Japan. Among individual issues, Swiss Re (+216%), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (+203%) and Rio Tinto (+217%) were among the top contributors for the year, while several financial stocks such as Lloyds Banking Group (-65%, sold), National Bank of Greece (-37%) and Royal Bank of Scotland (-79%, sold) lagged. In the fourth quarter, miners Anglo American (+42%), Rio Tinto (+28%) and BHP Billiton (+18%) were strong contributors, while financials again detracted: Barclays (-24%), ING (-28%), National Bank of Greece (-27%). Moving into 2010, one of WIBC’s main themes in positioning was to focus on companies in Europe and Japan that will benefit from exports to the emerging markets of China and India, which are expected to grow significantly this year. WIBC is well positioned to benefit from a trend back toward quality and also offers attractive value. Its holdings are priced at significant discounts to the MSCI World ex U.S. index in terms of current and forward price/earnings ratios and price/cash flow ratio. We continue to see the inclusion of international stocks as likely to enhance returns in diversified investment portfolios.

FIXED-INCOME FUNDS
 

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate bond index returned 5.9% in 2009, with its strongest showing in the middle two quarters of the year. After giving a mixed signal in the third quarter, the bond market’s action in the fourth quarter of 2009 appeared to confirm the upbeat economic signal of stocks, with rising Treasury yields, tighter spreads on non-Treasury products and a steepening yield curve. As signs that the economy was pulling out of recession became more numerous later in the year, investors moved away from Treasury securities to take on more risk. Although inflation remained subdued in 2009, inflation expectations as measured by the difference between nominal Treasury bonds and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) yields rose as investors looked ahead to stronger economic conditions and the eventual inflationary impact of the liquidity that policy makers poured into the economic system to help bring the economy out of its slump. While long-term yields rose for the year and the fourth quarter, the yield on the three month Treasury bill continued to hover around 0.1% as the Fed kept its fed funds rate target near zero. In the statement released after its December 16 policy meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee said that economic activity has picked up and conditions in the financial markets have become more supportive of economic growth. But the Fed still expects that slack resource use will help keep inflation subdued for some time; it therefore plans to maintain the fed funds target near zero for an extended period.
  
The 10-year Treasury bond yield rose about 160 basis points for all of 2009 and 50 basis points in the fourth quarter. Two-year Treasury bond yields rose about 40 basis points for the year, with about half of that in the fourth quarter. The essentially flat showing of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate bond index in Q4 was due to the 1.3% loss in Treasury bonds as their yields rose. Treasurys were the worst-performing sector of the bond market in Q4 as spreads on non-Treasury sectors continued to tighten on increasing confidence in the recovery. Treasurys lost 3.6% for the full year. Agencys were essentially flat for the fourth quarter and returned 1.9% for the year. Mortgage-backed issues returned 0.6% for the quarter and 5.9% for the year. Investment-grade corporate bonds overall outperformed Treasurys and the Barclays Aggregate by a wide margin in Q4 (returning 1.4%) and year (18.7%). Commercial mortgages were the best performing investment grade fixed-income sector in 2009: up 3.3% for the last quarter and 28.4% for all of 2009 despite concerns about the health of the commercial real estate market. Asset-backed issues had a 1.3% return for the fourth quarter and nearly 25% for the year.  

The Fed is winding down some of the programs that helped keep the credit markets functioning during the financial crisis. Nevertheless, we don’t expect a change from its near-zero interest rate policy until late in 2010. Eventually, the flood of liquidity provided by policy makers around the globe and the better growth this stimulation produces will put some upward pressure on inflation, but we don’t expect to see much evidence of this until 2011; in 2010, excess global production and labor capacity is likely to keep inflation tame. As we move through 2010, inflation could be pushing toward 2% – though core inflation should be lower. Bond yields are expected to rise over the coming year, but not to levels that will inhibit economic growth. The Aggregate bond return is expected to be positive over the coming 12 months, reflecting coupon income and more spread tightening on non-Treasury sectors, which will offset rising yields on Treasurys. However, the coming year’s return on the Barclays Aggregate may be quite meager and is unlikely to match that of the last 12 months. We continue to recommend holding a mix of asset classes in long-term investment portfolios. Although bonds lagged stocks in 2009, they significantly outperformed in 2008 with a 5.2% positive return for the Barclays Aggregate compared to a 37% loss for the S&P 500, evidence of the benefits of diversification.

WRIGHT TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND
 
In 2009, the return on the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate bond index was 5.9%. The gains in bonds slowed in the fourth quarter of the year as the index returned 0.2%. The Wright Total Return Bond Fund (WTRB), a diversified bond fund, outperformed the Barclays Aggregate in each quarter of 2009. For the year, WTRB returned 10.5% compared to the benchmark’s 5.9% return. In the fourth quarter of 2009, WTRB returned 0.7% compared to 0.2% for the Barclays benchmark. WTRB had a yield of 4.5% for December 2009 calculated according to SEC guidelines. Dividends paid by this Fund may be more or less than implied by this yield. WTRB’s duration position, which was short compared to the Barclays Aggregate for most of 2009, had a positive impact on performance for the year. In the first half of 2009, the short duration helped as interest rates moved higher. In the third quarter, this short duration worked against the Fund as yields declined, but in Q4 the Fund benefitted from its duration position as rates turned higher again. Towards the end of the year, WTRB’s duration position was moved closer to neutral, based on the view that yields had moved up too fast in Q4, making an interim pullback in yields possible. We expect, however, that rates will move higher by the end of 2010. For the first half of 2009, the WTRB Fund benefitted from being positioned to take advantage of the steepening yield curve. In Q3, the Fund became more neutral to the yield curve, where it remained at the end of the year; a flattening of the yield curve, which would dictate a move from the neutral positioning, is not anticipated in the near term. Most of the WTRB Fund’s 2009 outperformance compared to the Barclays Aggregate resulted from its sector allocation. Being overweight in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities helped Fund performance during the first quarter since both of these sectors outperformed the Barclays Aggregate index and Treasury bonds for the period. In the remainder of the year, overweight positions in corporate bonds, commercial mortgages, and asset-backed securities gave a significant boost to performance as these sectors significantly outperformed the Aggregate as well as Treasurys and Agencys, where WTRB was underweighted. In the third quarter, WTRB moved to an underweight position in mortgages, which also helped Fund performance since mortgages lagged the Aggregate in the second half of the year. As 2010 got underway, WTRB was maintaining its second-half positioning of being overweight in corporate bonds, commercial mortgage and asset-backed securities. We believe there is room for more spread tightening in these sectors in 2010 as the recovery proceeds and corporate profits improve; however, after the broad-based spread tightening in 2009, more care in the selection of specific issues will be required to generate superior performance in 2010.


 
WRIGHT CURRENT INCOME FUND
 
In 2009, the mortgage-backed sector of the bond market outperformed Treasury bonds with a return of 5.9%, just about matching the return of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate bond index. In the fourth quarter, the MBS sector returned 0.6% compared to a return of 0.2% for the Barclays Aggregate. The Wright Current Income Fund (WCIF) is managed to be primarily invested in GNMA issues (mortgage-based securities, known as Ginnie Maes, guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government) and other mortgage-based securities. The WCIF Fund is actively managed to maximize income and minimize principal fluctuation. In the fourth quarter of 2009, WCIF returned 0.6% compared to 0.4% for the GNMA bond index. For all of 2009, WCIF returned 6.2% compared to 5.4% for the GNMA index. For December 2009, the WCIF Fund had a yield of 4.8% as calculated by SEC guidelines. Dividends paid by this Fund may be more or less than implied by this yield. In addition to its holdings in Ginnie Maes (about 60% of assets at year end), WCIF also held MBS securities backed by Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC). These issues slightly outperformed Ginnie Maes in the fourth quarter and full year of 2009, contributing to WCIF’s outperformance relative to the GNMA benchmark. At year-end, about 3% of the WCIF portfolio was invested in non-Agency mortgages. The Fund’s selection of mortgages had a slightly longer duration than the GNMA index during the first nine months of the year. This had little impact on first-half performance and was positive in the third quarter when mortgage rates declined. In Q4, the Fund’s duration moved to slightly shorter than the index, which was positive as mortgage rates rose. Through 2009, the WCIF Fund was overweight in higher coupon issues (average coupon of 6.0% at year end vs 5.3% for the GNMA index) to generate more income. The Fund’s holdings of higher-coupon, well-seasoned bonds contributed to the Fund’s having less negative convexity that the Barclays benchmark, which contributes to a more stable performance when interest rates are volatile.

The Total Investment Return is the percent return of an initial $10,000 investment made at the beginning of the period to the ending redeemable value assuming all dividends and distributions are reinvested. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)



Example: 
As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2009 – December 31, 2009).


Actual Expenses:
The first line of the tables shown on the following page 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.


Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:
The second line of the tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if payable). Therefore, the second line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will 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.

Notes to Financial Statements


1.Significant Accounting Policies

Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund (WSBC), Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund (WMBC) and Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund (WIBC) (the “Funds”) (the Funds constituting Wright Managed Equity Trust (the “Trust”)), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Funds seek to provide total return consisting of price appreciation and current income.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A.Investment Valuations – Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days, they will be valued by a third party pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges are monitored by the investment adviser and may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Funds in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

B.Investment Transactions – Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

C.Income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount.

D.Federal Taxes – Each fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable income and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Foreign taxes are provided for based on WIBC’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. At December 31, 2009, WSBC, WMBC and WIBC, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards of $2,193,372, $20,781,823 and

$53,550,800, respectively, which will reduce each fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryovers will expire as follows:
 

December 31,

2017
    1,553,341       4,937,386       34,699,874  

Additionally, at December 31, 2009, WSBC had net capital losses of $7,815, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2009. These net capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s taxable year ending December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2009, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

E.Expenses – The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds.

F.Expense Reduction – State Street Bank & Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian to the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Funds maintain with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Effective January 4, 2010, Union Bank of California, N.A. (Union Bank) will serve as custodian to the Funds.

G.Foreign Currency Translation – Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency transactions. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

H.Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

I.Indemnifications – Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

2.Distributions to Shareholders

It is the present policy of the Trust to make annual distributions of all or substantially all of the net investment income of the Funds and to distribute annually all or substantially all of the net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) of the Funds. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.

The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, was as follows:


Year Ended 12/31/09

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss), distributions from real estate investment trusts, and class action income.

(15,894) 
      (48,645)  

These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 
WSBC
WMBC

The difference between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and distributions from real estate investment trusts.

3.Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by Wright Investor Services, Inc. (Wright) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Funds. For WIBC, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.80% of its average daily net assets up to $100 million and at reduced rates as net assets exceed that level, and is payable monthly. For WSBC and WMBC, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.60% of their average daily net assets up to $100 million and at reduced rates as net assets exceed that level, and is payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the fee and the effective annual rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets for each of the Funds were as follows:



 
Investment Adviser Fee 
Effective Annual Rate
WSBC
  $ 84,577       0.60  %  
WMBC
    198,188       0.60 %  
WIBC
    510,910       0.60  %  
 

For the period January 1, 2009, through November 30, 2009, the administrator fee was earned by Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance) for administering the business affairs of each Fund.  The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.17% of WIBC’s average daily net assets up to $100 million and 0.07% of average daily net assets over $100 million. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of WSBC’s and WMBC’s average daily net assets up to $100 million and 0.07% of average daily net assets over $100 million. Effective December 1, 2009, Wright serves as the administrator to the Funds.  The administration fees paid to Wright are at the same rates previously paid under the Administration Agreement with the prior administrator, Eaton Vance.  Pursuant to a Sub-Administration Agreement dated December 1, 2009, Wright appointed Atlantic Fund Administration, LLC (Atlantic) as sub-administrator of the Funds to perform certain services of the administrator as may be agreed upon between the administrator and sub-administrator.  The sub-administration fee is paid by Wright.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the administrator fee for WSBC, WMBC and WIBC amounted to $16,915, $39,638 and $108,568, respectively. Wright also waived and/or reimbursed expenses for WSBC and WMBC (see Note 4).

Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are Trustees or officers of the above organizations and/or of the Funds’ principal underwriter. Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not employees of Atlantic or Wright, Trustees and officers receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of the fees paid to Atlantic and Wright.

4.Distribution and Service Plans

The Trust has in effect a Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that each Fund will pay Wright Investors’ Service Distributors, Inc. (WISDI), the principal underwriter, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Winthrop Corporation and an affiliate of Wright, a distribution fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund for distribution services and facilities provided to the Funds by WISDI. Distribution fees paid or accrued to WISDI for the year ended December 31, 2009, for WSBC, WMBC and WIBC were $35,240, $82,579 and $159,660, respectively. In addition, the Trustees have adopted a service plan (the Service Plan) which allows the Funds to reimburse the principal underwriter for payments to intermediaries for providing account administration and personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The combined amount of service fees payable under the Service Plan and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees may not exceed 0.25% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds did not accrue or pay any service fees. Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, Wright and WISDI have agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses after custodian fee reductions, if any, exceed 1.40% (1.25% prior to May 1, 2009) of the average daily net assets of each of WSBC and WMBC through April 30, 2010. Thereafter, the waiver and reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement, Wright and WISDI waived and/or reimbursed expenses in the aggregate of $111,824 and $63,823 for WSBC and WMBC, respectively.

8.Line of Credit

The Funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions.  Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the Federal Funds rate. In addition, a commitment fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the average daily unused portion of the $10 million line of credit is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to each Fund, they may be unable to borrow some or all of the Funds’ requested amounts at any particular time. Effective December 31, 2009, the Funds have terminated the line of credit, and therefore, as of that date, there were no outstanding balances pursuant to this line of credit.

The average borrowings and average interest rate (excluding commitment fees) for the year ended December 31, 2009, were as follows:
 

 
WSBC
 
WMBC
WIBC
Average borrowings
  $ 64,164     $ 290,608     $ 287,537  
Average interest rate
    1.2 %     1.3 %     1.2 %

9.Risks Associated With Foreign Investments

Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Funds, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.


10.Securities Lending Agreement

During the year, WIBC had established a securities lending agreement with SSBT as securities lending agent in which WIBC lends portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of cash in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested in State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio (the Portfolio). WIBC earned interest on the amount invested in the Portfolio, but it must pay to or receive from a broker a rebate fee, depending on the securities loaned, computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. The broker fee and interest income earned is offset by the broker rebate fees paid of $1,764 for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the event of counterparty default, WIBC is subject to potential loss if it is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. WIBC bears risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on loans. WIBC had the right under the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. Effective December 10, 2009, WIBC has terminated the securities lending agreement, and therefore, as of December 31, 2009, there were no securities on loan.

11.Fair Value Measurements

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

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

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

 
•Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At December 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds held no investments or other financial instruments, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.

12.Review for Subsequent Events

Effective January 4, 2010, WIBC established a securities lending agreement with Union Bank as securities lending agent in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of cash in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan.

Effective January 14, 2010, the Funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with Union Bank. The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions.  Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the LIBOR rate.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2009, through February 23, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. Management has determined that, except as set forth above and in Note 1F, there are no material subsequent events requiring financial statement disclosure as of the date these financial statements were issued.

Wright Managed Equity Trust

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Trustees of Wright Managed Equity Trust and the Shareholders of Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund, Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund, and Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund, Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund, and Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund (collectively, the “Funds”)(together comprising Wright Managed Equity Trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund, Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund, and Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund as of December 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Wright Managed Income Trust

Notes to Financial Statements


1.Significant Accounting Policies

Wright Total Return Bond Fund (WTRB) and Wright Current Income Fund (WCIF) (the “Funds”) (the Funds constituting Wright Managed Income Trust (the “Trust”)), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. WTRB seeks a superior rate of total return, consisting of a high level of income plus price appreciation. WCIF seeks a high level of current income consistent with moderate fluctuations of principal.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
A.Investment Valuations – Debt obligations, including listed securities and securities for which quotations are  readily available, will normally be valued on the basis of reported trades or market quotations provided by third party pricing services, when these prices are representative of the securities’ market values. For debt securities where market quotations are not readily available, the pricing services will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days, they will be valued by a pricing service as described above. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Funds in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
 
B.Investment Transactions – Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
C.Interest Income – Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
 
D.Federal Taxes – Each fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.  At December 31, 2009, WTRB and WCIF, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers of $2,366,461 and $774,661, respectively, which will reduce each fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the respective Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryovers will expire as follows:

Wright Managed Income Trust

Notes to Financial Statements - continued
 
A capital loss carryover of $774,661, included in WCIF’s amount in the table above, is available to the Fund as a result of the reorganization of Wright U.S. Government Near Term Fund on December 9, 2006. Utilization of this capital loss carryover may be limited in accordance with certain income tax regulations.
 
As of December 31, 2009, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
 
E.Expenses – The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds.
 
 
F.Expense Reduction – State Street Bank & Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian to the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Funds maintain with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
 
Effective January 4, 2010, Union Bank of California, N.A. will serve as custodian to the Funds.
 
 
G.Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
H.Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
 
 
2.Distributions to Shareholders
 
The net investment income of each fund is determined daily, and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared daily as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly.  Distributions of net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
 
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, was as follows:

  $ 1,166,826     $ 1,894,445  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the following amounts were reclassified due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for premium amortization and paydown gain (loss).

Increase (decrease):

  $ (83,456 )   $
70,942
 
Accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss)
  $ (37,094 )   $ 83,456  

These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

   
WTRB
   
WCIF
 
Undistributed ordinary income
 
954
   
127,753
 
Capital loss carryforward and post October losses
    (2,366,461 )     (774,661 )
Unrealized appreciation
    680,003       1,275,840  
Other temporary differences
    (19,909 )      

 
The difference between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, premium amortization and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.


3.Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by Wright Investors’ Service, Inc. (Wright) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Funds. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net assets for WTRB and WCIF up to $100 million and at reduced rates as net assets exceed that level, and is payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the fee and the effective annual rate as a percentage of average daily net assets for each of the Funds were as follows:

Fund
 
Investment Adviser Fee
   
Effective Annual Rate
 
WTRB
  $ 104,579       0.45 %
WCIF
    172,514       0.45 %

For the period January 1, 2009, through November 30, 2009, the administrator fee was earned by Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance) for administering the business affairs of each Fund and is computed at an annual rate of 0.07% of the average daily net assets up to $100 million for WTRB and an annual rate of 0.09% of the average daily net assets up to $100 million for WCIF, and at reduced rates as net assets exceed that level.  Effective December 1, 2009, Wright serves as the administrator to the Funds.  The

administration fees paid to Wright are at the same rates previously paid under the Administration Agreement with the prior administrator, Eaton Vance.  Pursuant to a Sub-Administration Agreement dated December 1, 2009, Wright appointed Atlantic Fund Administration, LLC (Atlantic) as sub-administrator of the Funds to perform certain services of the administrator as may be agreed upon between the administrator and sub-administrator.  The sub-administration fee is paid by Wright.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the administrator fee for WTRB and WCIF amounted to $16,268 and $34,503, respectively.  Wright also waived and/or reimbursed expenses for WTRB and WCIF (see Note 4).

Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are Trustees or officers of the above organizations and/or of the Funds’ principal underwriter. Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not employees of Atlantic or Wright, Trustees and officers receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of the fees paid to Atlantic and Wright.
 
 
4.Distribution Plans and Service Plans
 
The Trust has in effect a Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that each Fund will pay Wright Investors’ Service Distributors, Inc. (WISDI), the principal underwriter, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Winthrop Corporation and an affiliate of Wright, a distribution fee of 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets of each Fund for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by WISDI. Distribution fees paid or accrued to WISDI for the year ended December 31, 2009 for WTRB and WCIF amounted to $58,099 and $95,841, respectively. In addition, the Trustees have adopted a service plan (the Service Plan) which allows the Funds to reimburse the principal underwriter for payments to intermediaries for providing account administration and personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The combined amount of service fees payable under the Service Plan and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees may not exceed 0.25% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds did not accrue or pay any service fees. Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, Wright and WISDI have agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses after custodian fee reductions, if any, exceed 0.95% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of WTRB and WCIF, respectively, through April 30, 2010. Thereafter, the waiver and reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Prior to May 1, 2009, Wright and WISDI had agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses after custodian fee reductions, if any, exceeded 0.95% of the average daily net assets of WCIF. In addition, Wright and WISDI have voluntarily agreed to further limit the total annual operating expenses after custodian fee reductions, if any, of WTRB to 0.70% and WCIF, effective May 1, 2009, to 0.90% of its average daily net assets. Such voluntary limitation may be terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement and voluntary limitation, Wright and WISDI waived and/or reimbursed expenses in the aggregate of $197,873 and $152,835 for WTRB and WCIF, respectively.

WTRB
   
WCIF
 
Aggregate cost

8.Line of Credit

The Funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the Federal Funds rate. In addition, a commitment fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the average daily unused portion of the $10 million line of credit is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to each Fund, they may be unable to borrow some or all of the Funds’ requested amounts at any particular time. Effective December 31, 2009, the Funds have terminated the line of credit, and therefore, as of that date, there were no outstanding balances pursuant to this line of credit.

The average borrowings and average interest rate (excluding commitment fees) for the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:

   
WTRB
   
WCIF
 
Average borrowings
  $ 3,329     $ 156,140  
Average interest rate
    1.1 %     1.2 %

9.Fair Value Measurements

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

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

 
•Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepaymentspeeds, credit risk, etc.)

 
•Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At December 31, 2009, the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

WTRB
                       
   
Quoted Prices in

Total Investments
  $     $ 32,147,268     $     $ 32,147,268  


The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds held no investments or other financial instruments, whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs.


10.Review for Subsequent Events

Effective, January 14, 2010, the Funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with Union Bank. The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions.  Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the LIBOR rate.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2009, through February 23, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. Management has determined that, except as set forth above and in Note 1F, there are no material subsequent events requiring financial statement disclosure as of the date these financial statements were issued.

Wright Managed Income Trust

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM







To the Trustees of Wright Managed Income Trust and the Shareholders of Wright Total Return Bond Fund and Wright Current Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wright Total Return Bond Fund and Wright Current Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (together comprising Wright Managed Income Trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Wright Total Return Bond Fund and Wright Current Income Fund as of December 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board of Trustees
Annual Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Independent Trustees met separately from the Interested Trustees and reviewed and considered materials furnished by Wright, including information regarding Wright, its affiliates and personnel, operations and financial condition. The Independent Trustees discussed with representatives of Wright the portfolio management and operations of the funds and the capabilities of Wright to provide advisory and other services to each fund. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:

Equity Funds and Income Funds

 
Whether the advisory arrangements are fair and reasonable relative to possible alternative arrangements. The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees paid by the Funds are reasonable.
 
Whether advisory services are being provided as agreed to. The Trustees concluded that the services being provided by the adviser are as agreed to in the advisory contract.
 
Whether compensation paid by a Fund to the adviser is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and the charges by other advisers for similar services. The Trustees concluded that the compensation paid by the Funds to the adviser is in the average range of compensation charged by other advisers for similar services and is reasonable.
 
Fees and expense ratios compared to similar funds. The Trustees concluded that the expense ratios of the Funds are lower than the average for similar funds.
 
Performance and relationship of fees and performance. The Trustees concluded that in most cases the performance results of the Funds were at least in the mid-range of similar funds while their expense ratios were generally lower.
 
Analysis of each Fund’s profitability to the adviser. The Trustees concluded that the profitability to the adviser of each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
 
The adviser’s financial condition and the overall organization of the adviser.
 
Sales and redemption data. The Trustees reviewed the information which had been provided to them relating to sales and redemptions and Wright’s marketing strategies to try to increase assets under management.
 
The economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the relevant investment markets. The Trustees have received a presentation on the overall economic outlook and investment outlook of both equity and income markets at each Board meeting.
 
The resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by the adviser and the record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions. The Trustees have approved and met separately with the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.
 
 
 
Additional Considerations for Equity Funds

 
The allocation of brokerage and any benefits received by the adviser as a result of brokerage allocation. The Trustees reviewed the Trading Analysis included in the material provided in advance of the meeting.

The Independent Trustees’ Committee did not consider any single factor as controlling in their consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Contracts, nor are the considerations described above all encompassing. Based on their consideration of all factors which they considered material, and with the assistance of independent counsel, the Independent Trustees’ Committee concluded that the renewal of the Investment Advisory Contracts with its current fee structure is in the interests of the shareholders.

Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Shareholders Documents

The Securities and Exchange Commission permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Wright, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Wright, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Wright documents not be householded, please contact Wright at 1-800-888-9471, or your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Wright documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Wright or your financial adviser.

Portfolio Holdings

In accordance with rules established by the SEC, the funds send semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders that contain a complete list of portfolio holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters, respectively, within 60 days of quarter-end and after filing with the SEC. The funds also disclose complete portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q, which is filed with the SEC within 60 days of quarter-end. The funds’ complete portfolio holdings as reported in annual and semi-annual reports and on Form N-Q are available for viewing on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room (information on the operation and terms of usage of the SEC public reference room is available at http://sec.gov/info/edgar/prrules.htm or by calling 1-800-SEC-0330). After filing, the funds’ portfolio holdings as reported in annual and semi-annual reports are also available on Wright’s website at www.wisi.com and are available upon request at no additional cost by contacting Wright at 1-800-888-9471.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

From time to time funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Wright Managed Funds vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ Board. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-888-9471.

Two Fixed-Income Funds
 
Wright Total Return Bond Fund (WTRB) (the Fund) is a diversified portfolio of investment grade government and corporate bonds and other debt securities of varying maturities which, in the Adviser’s opinion, will achieve the portfolio objective of best total return (i.e. the total of ordinary income plus capital appreciation). Ac­cordingly, investment selections and maturities may differ de­pend­­ing on the particular phase of the interest rate cycle. Dividends are accrued daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s benchmark is the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Wright Current Income Fund (WCIF) (the Fund) may be invested in a variety of securities and may use a number of strategies, including GNMAs, to produce a high level of income with reasonable stability of principal. The Fund reinvests all principal payments. Dividends are accrued daily and paid monthly. The Fund’s benchmark is the Barclays Capital GNMA Backed Bond Index.
