Letter to Policy Owners

 

June 30, 2007

 

Stocks managed solid returns during the six months ended June 30, 2007, despite a bumpy ride, while bonds produced modest but positive results. Once again, the riskiest, lowest-rated securities outperformed across virtually all markets. This ready acceptance of risk in pursuit of higher returns appears to us to be at odds with some important investment developments. Volatility is rising — reflecting the high degree of leverage in the system and fluidity of global capital flows — at a time when asset prices stand at lofty levels and the U.S. economy faces the challenge of a swooning housing market.

 

One way to see these trends at work is to look at the U.S. economy, where the effect of leverage is evident in housing. Home sales, housing starts, and price appreciation all hit records in 2005, and leverage worked to drive up asset prices as long as buyers had ready access to cheap financing. But with rates rising and lenders pulling back hard on credit, capital is no longer as cheap or easy to come by, with a predictable effect — prices of existing homes fell 2%

year-over-year through May, 2007. And with estimates of $500 billion or more in adjustable-rate sub-prime loans to reset next year, we think we have yet to see the full effect of higher rates on home prices and the economy.

 

With housing weighing on consumer spending and confidence, U.S. economic growth in the first quarter ran at the slowest pace in four years, though it appears to have bounced back in the second quarter. Call it a “mid-cycle slowdown” as the economy takes a breather from its extended recovery that began in 2002.

 

But even as U.S. growth slowed, the global economy appeared very healthy, so much so that many foreign central banks raised interest rates to keep their economies from overheating. Rapid growth among emerging market countries in particular helped drive positive performance for companies in Energy, Materials, and Industrials, which were three of the four best-performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index. This U.S. stock benchmark returned 6.29% for the six months and touched a record high.

 

In addition, equities continued to benefit from a ready supply of investment capital — demand from sources as diverse as foreign central banks, hedge funds and private equity firms, corporate cash, petrodollars, and overseas household savings provided a boost to global asset prices. And while there is no widely available gauge of leverage in the system, our sense is that it is another key factor keeping asset prices across many markets in the neighborhood of all-time highs.

 

These effects were not limited to U.S. markets — emerging market stocks attracted massive global asset flows, helping them outperform shares in developed economies. For the six months, the MSCI Emerging Market Index returned 16.11%, compared with 10.89% for the MSCI EAFE Index, a measure of performance in developed countries. As a result, many European and emerging market stock indices reached record highs in recent months.

 

In the U.S. bond market too, volatility and acceptance of risk were dominant themes. In terms of volatility, in May and June alone the yield on the bellwether 10-year Treasury note jumped from around 4.65% to 5.30%, before finishing the period at 5.02%. For the six months, the investment-grade Lehman Aggregate Bond Index returned just 0.98% while a measure of “junk bond” performance returned almost three times that amount, as Lehman’s U.S. Corporate High-Yield Index returned 2.87%.

 

With prices and leverage in so many markets at lofty levels, it makes sense to be on guard against complacency — in the euphoria of rising markets, it’s easy to forget that asset prices can also go down. This is especially true because with yields rising and bond investors seemingly less receptive to the large debt offerings used to finance headline-grabbing buyouts, the cheap capital that has supported stock performance may be increasingly hard to come by.

 

But of course, there’s no way to know when, or even if, the effects of global capital flows and leverage will reverse themselves. One famous example worth recalling here is former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” speech — more than three years before the market peaked in 2000. In this environment, it makes sense to take a prudent, measured approach that doesn’t leave you overexposed to any single area or segment of the market. Your financial representative can work with you to regularly review your insurance and investment goals and help evaluate your portfolio’s composition and its suitability for your financial objectives.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio of 0.56%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on equities.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio

 

 


Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Stocks of smaller or newer companies, such as those held in this Portfolio, are more likely to realize more substantial growth as well as suffer more significant losses than larger or more established issuers. Investments in such companies can be both more volatile and more speculative. Investing in small company stocks involves a greater degree of risk than investing in medium or large company stocks.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Stocks of smaller or newer companies, such as those held in this Portfolio, are more likely to realize more substantial growth as well as suffer more significant losses than larger or more established issuers. Investments in such companies can be both more volatile and more speculative. Investing in small company stocks involves a greater degree of risk than investing in medium or large company stocks.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Investors should be aware of the risks of investments in foreign securities, particularly investments in securities of companies in developing nations. These include the risks of currency fluctuation, of political and economic instability and of less well-developed government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, as well as differences in accounting standards.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Investors should be aware of the risks of investments in foreign securities, particularly investments in securities of companies in developing nations. These include the risks of currency fluctuation, of political and economic instability and of less well-developed government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, as well as differences in accounting standards.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Money Market Portfolio

 

 


 

An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Money Market Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Money Market Portfolio.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio of 0.30%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

The Corporate Bonds sector includes bonds of companies and governments headquartered outside the United States.

The Government and Structured Product categories include domestic taxable bonds.

Consistent with the Fund’s stated parameters, no more than 30% of the portfolio is invested in foreign securities, and no more than 20% is invested in high yield securities.

 

Return of principal is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the Portfolio. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. With a fixed income fund, when interest rates rise, the value of the fund’s existing bonds drops, which could negatively affect overall fund performance.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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 Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Bonds and other debt obligations are affected by changes in interest rates, inflation risk and the creditworthiness of their issuers. High yield bonds generally have greater price swings and higher default risks than investment grade bonds. Return of principal is not guaranteed. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. With a fixed income fund, when interest rates rise, the value of the fund’s existing bonds drops, which could negatively affect overall fund performance. In contrast to owning individual bonds, there are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of bond funds.

 

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Asset Allocation Portfolio

 

 


Sector Allocation 6/30/07

 

LOGO

 

Sector Allocation is based on Net Assets.

Sector Allocation is subject to change.

 

Expense Example

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or separate account charges. Therefore, the second line of 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 or separate account charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio of 0.55%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

 

Note 1 — Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. (the “Series Fund”) is registered as a diversified open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Series Fund consists of the Growth Stock Portfolio, Janus Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Large Cap Core Stock Portfolio, Index 500 Stock Portfolio, Capital Guardian Domestic Equity Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio, Mid Cap Growth Stock Portfolio, Index 400 Stock Portfolio, AllianceBernstein Mid Cap Value Portfolio, Small Cap Growth Stock Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Growth Portfolio, Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Select Bond Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, and the Asset Allocation Portfolio (the “Portfolios”). Shares are presently offered only to The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Northwestern Mutual”) and its segregated asset accounts.

 

During the period ended June 30, 2007, Northwestern Mutual made redemptions totalling $24,000,000 from the AllianceBernstein Mid Cap Value Portfolio and $15,000,000 from the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio.

 

On April 30, 2007, the Aggressive Growth Stock Portfolio changed its name to the Mid Cap Growth Stock Portfolio.

 

Note 2 — The preparation of the 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

On September 15, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issues Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 addresses how companies should measure fair value when specified assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for either recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FAS 157 is intended to make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, management believes the adoption of FAS 157 will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Fund.

 

Principal accounting policies are summarized below.

 

Note 3 — Stocks listed on a national or foreign stock exchange are generally valued at the last sale price on theexchange on which the security is principally traded. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) for which a NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) is available are valued at the NOCP. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ, the security is valued at the final bid price. Stocks traded only in the over-the-counter market and not on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price or closing bid price if no sales have occurred. Bonds are valued on the basis of prices furnished by a service which determines prices for normal institutional-size trading units of bonds. Futures are valued at settlement prices. Non-exchange traded derivatives are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value determined by procedures approved by the Board of Directors. The fair value procedures are used if a significant event that is likely to have affected the value of the securities takes place after the time of the most recent market quotations or the market quotations for other reasons do not reflect information material to the value of those securities. Generally, money market investments, other than in the Money Market Portfolio, with maturities exceeding sixty days are valued by marking to market on the basis of an average of the most recent bid prices or yields. Generally, money market investments with maturities of sixty days or less and all securities in the Money Market Portfolio are valued on an amortized cost basis or, if the current market value differs substantially from the amortized cost, by marking to market.

 

Note 4 — Certain of the Portfolios may have securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. When the Portfolios purchase or sell a foreign security they may enter into a foreign currency exchange contract to minimize market risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such transaction. Such foreign currency exchange contracts are marked to market daily.

 

The Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against exchange rate risk arising from investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies or as part of an investment strategy. Contracts are valued at the contractual forward rate and are marked to market daily, with the change in market value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded. Risks may arise from changes in market value of the underlying instruments and from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

The Portfolios do not separately report the results of operations due to changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized or unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and the settlement date on security transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.

 

Note 5 — Certain Portfolios invest in futures contracts as an alternative to investing in individual securities and could be exposed to market risk due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or due to an illiquid secondary market. Futures contracts are marked to market daily based upon quoted settlement prices. The Portfolios receive from or pay to brokers an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments, known as the “variation margin”, are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. When a contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

For federal income tax purposes, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is generally required to be treated as realized gains (losses).

 

Note 6 — Certain Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statements of Operations even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

 

Note 7 — The Select Bond and Balanced Portfolios have a securities lending program that enables each Portfolio to loan securities to approved broker-dealers. The Portfolio receives cash (U.S. currency), U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral shall be invested by the Portfolio to earn interest in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment policies. For the period ended June 30, 2007 the Select and Balanced Portfolios earned $182,758 and $180,227, respectively, in interest from securities lending activity. The collateral received under the securities lending program is recorded on the Portfolio’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.

 

Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is recorded as income for the Portfolio. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of U.S. securities) or 105% (for non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. Thereafter, each loan must be continuously secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the value of the securities lent. In addition, the Portfolio is entitled to terminate a securities loan at any time. As of June 30, 2007, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of collateral amounted to the following:

 

Portfolio

   Value of
Securities on Loan
   Value of
Collateral

Select Bond

   $ 48,340,750    $ 49,500,000

Balanced

   $ 51,828,770    $ 53,028,375

 

As of June 30, 2007, collateral received for securities on loan is invested in money market instruments and included in Investments on the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Note 8 — Certain Portfolios may engage in swap transactions, including but not limited to, swap agreements on interest rate and total return to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements.

 

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by a Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to the notional amount of principal.

 

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

 

Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These upfront payments are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of

the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the Portfolios are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

 

Note 9 — Certain Portfolios may engage in securities transactions on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. During this period, the securities are subject to market fluctuations. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, a Portfolio will segregate liquid assets on their records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price. A Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

 

Note 10 — Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information from foreign issuers is available. Where applicable, dividends are recorded net of foreign dividend tax. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Securities transactions are accounted for on trade date. The basis for determining cost on sale of securities is identified cost. For the period ended June 30, 2007, transactions in securities other than money market investments were:

All of the Portfolios, except for the Balanced, Select Bond and Money Market Portfolios, pay their own custodian fees. Certain Portfolios, listed below, pay a portion of their custodian fees indirectly through expense offset arrangements. Custodian fees are reduced for Portfolios that maintain compensating balances in non-interest bearing accounts. These Portfolios could have invested the assets used to pay for the custodian fees, had the assets not been used in the expense offset arrangements. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the amounts paid through expense offset arrangements were as follows:

Note 12 — Each of the Portfolios of the Series Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company meeting certain requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. Since each expects to distribute all net investment income and net realized capital gains, the Portfolios anticipate incurring no federal income taxes.

 

Taxable distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains in the Portfolios may differ from book amounts earned during the period due to differences in the timing of capital gains recognition and due to the reclassification of certain gains or losses between capital and income. The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to treatment of deferred losses.

 

It is the policy of the Portfolios to reclassify the net effect of permanent differences between book and taxable income to capital accounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Certain losses incurred by the Portfolios after October 31st are deferred and deemed to have occurred in the next fiscal year for income tax purposes. Net realized capital losses for federal income tax purposes are carried forward to offset future net realized gains. A summary of the Portfolios’ post-October losses and capital loss carryovers as of December 31, 2006 is provided below:

Note 16 — Guarantees

 

In the normal course of business the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Special Meeting of Shareholders (Unaudited)

 

 

A Special Meeting of Shareholders of Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. (“NMSF”) was held on February 20, 2007. All of the outstanding shares of NMSF are held by The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Northwestern Mutual”) and therefore, Northwestern Mutual is the only shareholder of NMSF. Northwestern Mutual holds these shares for its general account and for its separate investment accounts used for its variable annuity contracts and variable life policies. Northwestern Mutual voted the outstanding shares allocated to the variable accounts in accordance with the instructions received from variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. Shares of each Portfolio of NMSF as to which no timely instructions were received were voted by Northwestern Mutual in proportion to the instructions from those contract and policy owners and payees who furnished timely instructions with respect to shares of that Portfolio. Northwestern Mutual also voted the shares of each Portfolio held in its general account in the same proportion as it voted the rest of the shares. The results of the shareholders’ vote on the proposals are as follows:

 

Proposal 1 — To elect six Directors to Northwestern Mutual Series Fund’s Board of Directors.

(Under Maryland law, the nominees for director receiving the vote of a plurality of the outstanding voting shares of NMSF cast at a shareholders meeting will be elected.)

Approval and Continuance of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

 

Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc.

 

At its February 2007 meeting, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, of the Northwestern Mutual Series Fund, Inc. (the “Series Fund”) unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Series Fund and MSA relating to the Series Fund’s existing portfolios (the “Advisory Agreement”). At its May 2007 meeting, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, of the Series Fund unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements between MSA and the sub-advisors of certain of the Series Fund’s existing portfolios (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”). Each portfolio of the Series Fund is referred to as a “Portfolio” and collectively as the “Portfolios.”

 

In determining whether to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements on behalf of the Series Fund, the directors requested and received detailed information from MSA and the sub-advisors to assist them in their evaluation. While particular focus is given to an evaluation of the services, performance, fees, costs, and certain other relevant information under such Agreements at the meeting at which their continuation is formally considered, the evaluation process with respect to MSA and the sub-advisors and the nature, extent and quality of the services they provide the Portfolios, and the related performance, costs and expenses, is an ongoing one. As a result, the directors’ consideration of the nature, extent and quality of services, and the performance, costs and expenses, included deliberations at other meetings in addition to the annual renewal meeting.

 

The Independent Directors also received a memorandum from their counsel advising the directors of their responsibilities in connection with the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, and summarizing the legal standards governing the review of these Agreements. In addition, during the course of their deliberations, the Independent Directors had the opportunity to meet privately without representatives of MSA and the sub-advisors present, and were represented throughout the process by legal counsel to the Independent Directors and the Series Fund.

 

At the February 2007 meeting with respect to the Advisory Agreement, and at the May 2007 meeting with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the directors, including all of the Independent Directors voting separately, determined that the terms of these Agreements were fair and reasonable, and approved them for one-year periods as being in the best interest of the respective Portfolios and their shareholders. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for these approvals include those discussed below.

 

 

Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement Between the Series Fund and MSA With Respect to the Portfolios

 

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determination at its February 2007 meeting to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each the Portfolios include those discussed below. In addition to the information provided to them throughout the year, the directors considered their experience with and knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by MSA to the Portfolios and their interactions with representatives of MSA and its affiliates. The directors evaluated the information they deemed relevant on a Portfolio by Portfolio basis. No one particular factor was identified as controlling, but rather it was a combination of all the factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the determinations made by the directors.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the nature, extent and quality of MSA’s services, factors considered by the directors included MSA’s investment personnel, the experience of the portfolio managers of the Portfolios, proposed changes in portfolio managers for certain of the Portfolios, and additions to the professional and compliance personnel overseeing the Portfolios. The directors also considered the scope of the services provided by MSA, MSA’s experience, and the performance of the Portfolios. The directors recognized that in addition to the investment advisory services provided by MSA, MSA and its affiliates provide certain other services necessary for the operation of the Portfolios and the servicing of the beneficial owners of shares of the Series Fund. Based on their review of these factors and their experience with MSA’s services for the Portfolios, the directors concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by MSA with respect to each Portfolio, and the resources committed by MSA in providing those services.

 

Investment Performance. The directors considered the investment performance of each of the Portfolios over a variety of periods. In addition to absolute performance for each Portfolio for both short and long-term periods, the directors considered (i) a comparison of each Portfolio’s one-, three- and five-year performance to the returns of appropriate peer groups created by an independent research firm, certain benchmarks and indices, and to the performance averages of each Portfolio’s respective Morningstar and Lipper categories for the same periods, (ii) the Morningstar overall star rating for each Portfolio, and (iii) the Morningstar and the Lipper rankings for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The directors evaluated each Portfolio’s

performance against these peer groups and industry benchmarks and indices, and considered independent rankings and ratings, to provide an objective comparative benchmark against which they could assess the performance of the Portfolios. The directors were also presented with information from the portfolio managers regarding the relevant market and the factors resulting in the performance of each Portfolio. In addition to performance information presented at the meeting, the directors considered the detailed performance information, market commentary, portfolio analysis and portfolio manager presentations they received periodically throughout the year. Generally speaking, the directors provided greater weight to longer-term performance.

 

The directors noted that all of the Portfolios (other than four Portfolios) were in the top three quintiles of their respective performance universes (i.e. all funds underlying variable products with similar investment objectives and strategies regardless of amount of assets or distribution channels) for the five-year period ending December 31, 2006. Regarding these Portfolios, and based on its review of the various measures and periods of investment performance, and the explanations for and the factors resulting in the shorter-term performance of the Portfolios, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the relative investment performance of these Portfolios over time. Regarding the relative performance of the other four Portfolios over various periods of time, the Board considered the explanations for the performance as well as recent performance improvements and the steps being taken to improve and monitor the performance, including the proposed restructuring of certain investment teams by MSA, and concluded that the performance of these Portfolios was being properly monitored.

 

Management Fees and Other Expenses. In evaluating the management fees paid by the Portfolios, the directors considered the actual and contractual fees paid by each Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement and the expense waiver agreements that were in place for certain of the Portfolios. The directors also considered a comparison of the actual and contractual management fees of the Portfolios and those of an independently selected peer group of mutual funds for each of the Portfolios. The directors also considered the total operating expenses of each of the Portfolios and a comparison of those expenses with each Portfolio’s respective peer group. The fact that under the Advisory Agreement MSA is responsible for many of the administrative and operational expenses, in addition to the investment management expenses, of the Portfolios was also considered. The directors did not consider the management fees charged to other MSA clients as relevant because substantially all of those accounts were managed for affiliates of MSA and, as such, they were priced based on different factors and considerations, and in some instances they had investment objectives and policies different than the Portfolios. The directors considered the comparative data as a guide to help assess the reasonableness of each Portfolio’s advisory fee, although they acknowledged that it was difficult to make precise comparisons with other funds since the exact nature of services provided by peers is often not apparent.

 

The directors noted that all of the Portfolios (other than three of the Portfolios for which a sub-advisor was retained, and the Asset Allocation Portfolio) were in the top quintile (meaning lowest expenses) of their respective peer groups with respect to actual and contractual management fees and total net operating expenses. For the four Portfolios not in the top quintile, three were in the second quintile for total expenses and one was in the third quintile. In considering the level of management fees, the directors also considered the structure and size of the Portfolios, the expenses assumed by MSA, and the existing expense cap arrangements agreed to by MSA for certain of the Portfolios. Based on their review of the management and other expenses, the comparative data, the performance of each Portfolio, and other factors deemed relevant by the directors, the directors concluded that the management fees and total operating expenses of each of the Portfolios were reasonable in relation to the nature, scope and quality of services provided and the performance of the Portfolios.

 

Costs and Profitability. The directors also considered MSA’s pricing methodology for its services as investment advisor and for the products of which the Portfolios are investment options. Also considered was the financial condition of MSA and information concerning MSA’s costs and profitability with respect to its relationship with each of the Portfolios. MSA provided a profitability analysis for each Portfolio which included the expense allocation methodology used, net income by Portfolio individually and the Portfolios in the aggregate, net income of MSA for all of its clients in the aggregate, and net profit margins for each Portfolio individually and in the aggregate. In connection with its review of the profitability of MSA’s services to the Portfolios, the directors also considered services provided by affiliates of MSA. The directors also received information on soft dollar arrangements.

 

The directors recognized that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs and calculating profitability for an

organization such as MSA, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability among investment advisors and clients because comparative information is not generally publicly available and, when available, its utility is subject to various assumptions and other factors. Based on their review of the profitability analysis for each Portfolio, the directors concluded that they were satisfied that MSA’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Portfolio was not excessive.

 

The directors were presented with other information including information regarding brokerage commissions, portfolio turnover, and compliance procedures, structure and history. Based on a consideration of all these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Directors, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with MSA.

 

Continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreements Between MSA and Certain Sub-Advisors

 

At its May 2007 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuance of the Sub-Advisory Agreements between MSA and Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC (“Templeton”) relating to the Franklin Templeton International Equity Portfolio, and between MSA and Capital Guardian Trust Company (“CGTC”) relating to the Capital Guardian Domestic Equity Portfolio, with certain non-substantive amendments. (Templeton and CGTC are collectively referred to herein as the “Sub-Advisors” and their respective sub-advised Portfolios are collectively referred to herein as the “Sub-Advised Portfolios.”) In order to afford the Board the opportunity to focus on a smaller number of relationships at any one meeting, the Board considers the annual continuation of the sub-advisory agreements on a staggered basis.

 

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to each Sub-Advised Portfolio include those discussed below. In addition to the information provided to them at the meetings by MSA and the Sub-Advisors, the directors considered their experience with and knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisors and their interactions with representatives of MSA, its affiliates and the Sub-Advisors. The directors received a presentation by investment professionals of each Sub-Advisor who are involved in the management of the respective Sub-Advised Portfolio, as well as information from MSA regarding on-site due diligence visits which had been conducted with each Sub-Advisor. The directors evaluated the information they deemed relevant on a Portfolio by Portfolio basis. No one particular factor was identified as controlling, but rather it was a combination of all the factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the determinations made by the directors.

 

The directors considered the services provided by the Sub-Advisors and their experience in providing investment management services. Consideration was given to the Sub-Advisors’ reputations as leaders in providing investment management services. The directors noted that there were no significant changes in the services provided by the Sub-Advisors or the personnel providing those services. Based on their review and discussions, the directors concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisors on behalf of the Sub-Advised Portfolios.

 

The directors also considered the performance of each of the Sub-Advisors over various time periods both on an absolute basis and compared to an independently compiled peer group of funds and appropriate market benchmarks and indices (as discussed above). The directors also considered the performance of accounts managed in a similar manner by certain of the Sub-Advisors. With respect to the relative performance of the Capital Guardian Domestic Equity Portfolio, the directors considered CGTC’s explanations for the underperformance and the steps being taken by CGTC to address these concerns. Based on CGTC’s explanation and the directors’ experience with and knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by CGTC, the directors concluded that the performance of the Domestic Equity Portfolio was being properly addressed and that they remained confident in the ability of CGTC to manage this Portfolio. For the reasons and based on the discussions summarized above, the directors concluded that they were satisfied with the relative investment performance of the Sub-Advised Portfolios.

 

The directors considered the total expenses of each Portfolio as discussed above. The directors also considered the sub-advisory fees, which fees are paid by MSA out of its management fee, including a comparison of those fees with fees charged for funds with the same classification/objective as compiled by Lipper. The directors considered that the fee schedule for each Sub-Advised Portfolio contained breakpoints. Based on its review, the directors concluded that the management fees and total expenses of each of the Sub-Advised Portfolios were reasonable in relation to the nature, scope and quality of services provided and the performance of the Sub-Advised Portfolios over time.

The directors were previously presented with profitability information about MSA with respect to the Sub-Advised Portfolios. In connection with their review, the directors noted that the sub-advisory fees are paid out of MSA’s management fee and were the result of arm’s-length negotiations between MSA and the Sub-Advisers. The directors were presented with other information relating to the Sub-Advisors including regulatory and litigation matters, brokerage and compliance matters. Based on a consideration of all factors they deemed relevant in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Directors, approved the continuation of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements between MSA and the Sub-Advisors.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare 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 (January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund 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 $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a 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 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. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

 

J

Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

 

K

As the result of a correction made in the classification of distributions received on securities representing realized gains for the year ended December 31, 2003, amounts previously reported have been reclassified. The impact of this correction was a decrease in net investment loss of $0.01 per share and a corresponding decrease in net realized and unrealized gain (loss). The ratio of net investment loss to average net assets decreased from (0.04)% to 0.00%. The classification had no impact on total net assets or total return of the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

1. Organization.

VIP Mid Cap Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The Fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares, Service Class 2 shares and Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund’s investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund’s Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s web site, www.sec.gov, or upon request.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund’s utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

3. Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund’s investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV for processing shareholder transactions includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned, with any distributions receivable as of period end included in Distributions receivable from Fidelity Central Funds on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, on June 29, 2007. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended June 29, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

 

Unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,603,844,029  

Unrealized depreciation

     (169,064,194 )
        

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

   $ 1,434,779,835  
        

Cost for federal income tax purposes

   $ 7,238,118,240  

New Accounting Pronouncement. In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

4. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or nongovernment securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $5,923,016,153 and $5,865,843,191, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund’s average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund’s average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class’ average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2’s average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

 

Service Class

   $ 566,247

Service Class 2

     6,296,877
      
   $ 6,863,124
      

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund’s transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class with the exception of Investor Class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of. 18% of its month end net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

 

Initial Class

   $ 466,893

Service Class

     374,878

Service Class 2

     1,665,536

Investor Class

     173,018
      
   $ 2,680,325
      

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund’s accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $69,896 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund’s activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the “line of credit”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $8,962 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

9. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $618,781 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund’s custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund’s custody expenses by $27,960.

10. Other.

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 12% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund and one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 29% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is conducting an investigation of FMR (covering the years 2002 to 2004) arising from gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR’s domestic equity trading desk during that period. FMR is in discussions with the SEC staff regarding the possible resolution of the matter, but as of period-end no final resolution has been reached.

In December 2006, the Independent Trustees completed their own investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent counsel. The Independent Trustees and FMR agree that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and is worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees have requested and FMR has agreed to pay $42 million to Fidelity mutual funds, plus interest to be determined at the time that payment is made. A method of allocating this payment among the funds has not yet been determined. The total payment to the Fund is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Fund’s net assets. In addition, FMR reimbursed related legal expenses which are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as an expense reduction.

Shareholder Expense Example—June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Fund Expenses

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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.

 

     Actual
Performance
   Hypothetical
Performance
(5% return
before expenses)

Beginning Account Value January 1, 2007

   $ 1,000.00    $ 1,000.00

Ending Account Value June 30, 2007

   $ 1,080.90    $ 1,020.53

Expenses Paid During Period*

   $ 4.44    $ 4.31

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.86% (representing the one-half year period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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.

Expenses Paid During Period*

   $ 5.43    $ 5.26

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.05% (representing the one-half year period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Reflects amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment adviser. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example—June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Fund Expenses

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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.

Beginning Account Value January 1, 2007

   $ 1,000.00    $ 1,000.00

   $ 1,098.40    $ 1,019.09

Expenses Paid During Period*

   $ 5.98    $ 5.76

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.15% (representing the one-half year period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Reflects amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment adviser. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example—June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Fund Expenses

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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.

Expenses Paid During Period*

   $ 4.32    $ 4.51

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.90% (representing the one-half year period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Shareholder Expense Example—June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Fund Expenses

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Expense Example, which appears on each Fund’s individual page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for a Fund.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for this Fund is from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” 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.

Expenses Paid During Period*

   $ 3.49    $ 3.51

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.70% (representing the one-half year period annualized), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Reflects amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the investment adviser. Without the waiver and/or reimbursement, expenses would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements—June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Russell Investment Funds (the “Investment Company” or “RIF”) is a series investment company with nine different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. These financial statements report on five of these Funds (“the Funds”). The Investment Company provides the investment base for one or more variable insurance products issued by one or more insurance companies. These Funds are offered at net asset value to qualified insurance company separate accounts offering variable insurance products. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under a master trust agreement dated July 11, 1996, as amended. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services. Debt obligation securities maturing within 60 days of the time of purchase are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation, unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the Securities Valuation Procedures to Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo” or “Manager”). On July 1, 2006, Frank Russell Investment Management Company changed its name to RIMCo.

Ordinarily, the Funds value each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

 

   

US listed equities; equity and fixed income options: Last sale price; last bid price if no last sale price;

 

   

US over-the-counter equities: Official closing price; last bid price if no closing price;

 

   

Listed ADRs/GDRs: Last sale price; last bid price if no sales;

 

   

Municipal bonds, US bonds, Eurobonds/foreign bonds: Evaluated bid price; broker quote if no evaluated bid price;

 

   

Futures: Settlement price.

 

   

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

 

   

The value of swap agreements are equal to the Funds’ obligation (or rights) under swap contracts which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contracts based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contracts.

 

   

Equity securities traded on a national securities foreign exchange or an over-the-counter market are valued on the basis of the official closing price, or lacking the official closing price, at the last sale price of the primary exchange on which the security is traded.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Fair Value Procedures may involve subjective judgments as to the fair value of securities. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Funds’ Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated using normal pricing methods. Fair value pricing could also cause discrepancies between the daily movement of the value of Fund shares and the daily movement of the benchmark index if the index is valued using another pricing method.

This policy is intended to assure that the Funds’ net asset values fairly reflect security values as of the time of pricing. Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of net asset values for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s net asset value. Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. Funds that invest in low rated debt securities are also likely to use fair value pricing more often since the markets in which such securities are traded are generally thinner, more limited and less active than those for higher rated securities. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a material market movement of the US securities market (defined in the Fair Value Procedures as the movement by any two of four major US Indexes greater than a certain percentage) or other significant event; foreign market holidays if on a daily basis, Fund exposure exceeds 20% in aggregate (all closed markets combined); a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days, the net asset value of a Fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosure.

Investment Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money manager within a particular Fund.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. The Core Bond Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as part of interest income. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method.

Federal Income Taxes

Since the Investment Company is a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund’s shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the other Funds.

It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and capital gains. Therefore, no federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.

In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. For the period ended June 30, 2007, there was no impact from the adoption of FIN 48 on the Funds’ net assets and results of operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

For all Funds, income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are generally declared and paid quarterly, except for the Non-U.S. Fund, which generally declares and pays income distributions annually. Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income and excise tax on any remaining undistributed capital gains and net investment income.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain (or loss) on investment and foreign currency-related transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. The differences between tax regulations and GAAP primarily relate to investments in options, futures, forward contracts, swap contracts, passive foreign investment companies, foreign-denominated investments, mortgage-backed securities, certain securities sold at a loss and capital loss carryforwards.

Expenses

The Funds will pay their own expenses other than those expressly assumed by RIMCo. Most expenses can be directly attributed to the individual Funds. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund are allocated among all Funds principally based on their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of the Funds are translated into US dollars on the following basis:

 

  (a) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

 

  (b) Purchases and sales of investment securities and income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade dates of such transactions.

Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities; sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Non-U.S. Fund’s books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at year-end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations of the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or loss) on debt obligations.

Capital Gains Taxes

The Non-U.S. and Real Estate Securities Funds may be subject to capital gains taxes and repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. The Non-U.S. and Real Estate Securities Funds may record a deferred tax liability in respect of unrealized appreciation on foreign securities for potential capital gains and repatriation taxes at June 30, 2007. The accrual for capital gains and repatriation taxes is included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for both Funds, if applicable. The amounts related to capital gains taxes are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations for both Funds. The Non-U.S. and Real Estate Securities Funds had no deferred tax liability or capital gains taxes for the period ended June 30, 2007.

Derivatives

To the extent permitted by the investment objectives, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. They include options, futures, swaps, swaptions, forwards, structured notes and stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.

The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: exposing cash reserves to markets, hedging and return enhancement. The Funds may pursue their strategy to be fully invested by exposing cash reserves in a Fund to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing securities and/or derivatives. This is intended to cause the Funds to perform as though their cash

reserves were actually invested in those markets. Hedging is also used by some Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments, Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

In connection with investment transactions consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies, certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”). The Funds may enter into foreign currency forward overlays on liquidity reserve balances. Additionally, from time to time the Funds may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open contracts at June 30, 2007 are presented on the Schedule of Investments.

Forward Commitments

Certain Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The Funds may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it is appropriate to do so and realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt obligations of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio securities to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund’s records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled. A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction.

Loan Agreements

The Core Bond Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. For the period ended June 30, 2007, there were no unfunded loan commitments in the Core Bond Fund.

Options

The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. The Funds may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. The domestic equity Funds may utilize options to equitize liquidity reserve balances.

When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.

Whether an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally

received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.

The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may invest in futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency and index futures contracts) to a limited extent. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are made as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. As of June 30, 2007, included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Non-U.S. Fund had cash collateral balances of $2,343,868 in connection with futures contracts purchased (sold).

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into several different types of agreements including interest rate, index, credit default and currency swaps.

The Funds may enter into index swap agreements as an additional hedging strategy for cash reserves held by those Funds or to effect investment transactions consistent with these Funds’ investment objectives and strategies. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular investments or instruments. The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e. a specified dollar amount that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparties representing capital appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities and accrued interest expense and interest income are recorded as net realized gain (loss). The Funds are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparties; however, the Funds do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

The Funds may enter into swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether they are hedging their assets or liabilities, and will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Funds receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. When the Funds engage in a swap, they exchange their obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations or rights to receive payments of another party (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

Interest rate swaps are a counterparty agreement and can be customized to meet each party’s needs and involves the exchange of a fixed payment per period for a payment that is not fixed. Currency swaps are an agreement where two parties exchange specified amounts of different currencies which are followed by a series of interest payments that are exchanged based on the principal cash flow. At maturity the principal amounts are exchanged back. Credit default swaps are a counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk (the possibility that an issuer will default on their obligation by failing to pay principal or interest in a timely manner) from one party to another. The lender faces the credit risk from a third party and the counterparty in the swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments.

The Funds expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities they anticipate purchasing at a later date. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Funds’ obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid high-grade debt securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian. To the extent that the Funds enter into swaps on other than a net basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the full amount of the Funds’

 

Notes to Financial Statements 83


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements, continued—June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

 

obligations, if any, with respect to such interest rate swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid.

Investments in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation, restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

The Core Bond Fund may invest in mortgage or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by a payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

One type of SMBS has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for the IOs are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds

The Core Bond Fund may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ 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. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending

The Investment Company has a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The Fund receives cash (US currency), US Government or US Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral is invested by the securities lending agent, State Street Corporation (“State Street”) in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds and other short-term investments that meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Cash collateral invested in money market funds is included in the Schedule of Investments. The collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.

Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and State Street and is recorded as income for the Fund. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the Fund and State Street and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for Non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the securities or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.

As of June 30, 2007, the non-cash collateral received for the securities on loan in the Multi-Style Equity Fund and Aggressive Equity Fund were $3,583,762 and $788,368 respectively. The non-cash collateral consists of a pool of US Government securities.

Custodian

The Funds have entered into a custody agreement with their Custodian whereby custody credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Funds’ expenses. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the Funds’ custodian fees were reduced by the following amounts under these arrangements:

Brokerage Commissions

The Funds effect certain transactions though Lynch, Jones & Ryan, Inc. (“LJR”) and its global network of correspondent brokers. LJR is a registered broker and is not an affiliate of the Funds or RIMCo. Trades placed through LJR and its correspondents are used (i) to obtain research services for RIMCo to assist it in its capacity as a manager of managers and (ii) to generate commission rebates to the Funds on whose behalf the trades were made. For purposes of trading to obtain research services for RIMCo or to generate commission rebates to the Funds, the Funds’ money managers are requested to and RIMCo may, with respect to transactions it places, effect transactions with or through LJR and its correspondents or other brokers only to the extent that the Funds will receive competitive execution, price and commissions. In addition, RIMCo recommends targets for the amount of trading that money managers allocate through LJR based upon asset class, investment style and other factors. Research services provided to RIMCo by LJR or other brokers include performance measurement statistics, fund analytics systems and market monitoring systems. Research services will generally be obtained from unaffiliated third parties at market rates. Research provided to RIMCo may benefit the particular Funds generating the trading activity and may also benefit other Funds within the Investment Company and other funds and clients managed or advised by RIMCo or its affiliates. Similarly, the Funds may benefit from research provided with respect to trading by those other funds and clients.

LJR also may rebate to the Funds a portion of commissions earned on certain trading by the Funds through LJR and their correspondents in the form of commission recapture. Commission recapture is paid solely to those Funds generating the applicable trades. Commission recapture is generated on the instructions of the Soft Dollar Committee once RIMCo’s research budget has been met, as determined annually in the Soft Dollar Committee budgeting process.

7. Interfund Lending Program

The Investment Company has been granted permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission to participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility (the “Credit Facility”). Funds of the Investment Company may borrow money from the RIC Money Market Fund for temporary purposes. All such borrowing and lending will be subject to a participating Fund’s fundamental investment limitations. The RIC Money Market Fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements or short-term reserves. The Funds will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. A participating Fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to the RIC Money Market Fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

For the period ended June 30, 2007, the Funds did not participate in the interfund lending program.

9. Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

The following table lists restricted securities held by a Fund that are illiquid. The following table does not include (1) securities deemed liquid by RIMCo or a money manager pursuant to Board approved policies and procedures or (2) illiquid securities that are not restricted securities as designated on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

The Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, last considered and approved the continuation of the management agreement with RIMCo (the “RIMCo Agreement”) and the portfolio management contract with each Money Manager of the Funds (collectively, the “portfolio management contracts”) at a meeting held on April 24, 2007. During the course of a year, the Trustees receive a wide variety of materials regarding the investment performance of the Funds, sales and redemptions of the Funds’ shares, and the management of the Funds by RIMCo. In preparation for the annual review, the Independent Trustees, with the advice and assistance of their independent counsel, also requested and the Board considered (1) information and reports prepared by RIMCo relating to the services provided by RIMCo (and its affiliates) to the Funds; (2) information (the “Third-Party Information”) received from an independent, nationally recognized provider of investment company information comparing the performance of each of the Funds and their respective operating expenses over various periods of time with other peer funds (“Comparable Funds”) not managed by RIMCo believed by the provider to be generally comparable in investment objectives and size to the Funds; and (3) RIMCo’s response to questions from the Board concerning the Third-Party Information addressing, among other things, performance and expense differentials between certain Funds and their respective Comparable Funds. The foregoing information requested by the Trustees or provided by RIMCo is collectively called the “Agreement Renewal Information.” The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuances.

On April 23, 2007, the Independent Trustees met to review the Agreement Renewal Information in a private session with their independent counsel at which no representatives of RIMCo or management were present. At the April 24 meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the proposed continuance of the RIMCo Agreement and the portfolio management contracts with management and independent counsel to the Independent Trustees. Presentations made by RIMCo to the Board as part of this review encompassed the Funds and all other RIMCo-managed funds for which the Board has supervisory responsibility. Following this review, but prior to voting, the Independent Trustees again met in a private session with their independent counsel to evaluate additional information and analyses received from RIMCo and management at the Board meeting. The discussion below reflects all of these reviews.

In evaluating the portfolio management contracts, the Board considered that the Funds, in employing a manager-of-managers method of investment, operate in a manner that is distinctly different from most other investment companies. In the case of most other investment companies, an advisory fee is paid by the investment company to its adviser which in turn employs and compensates individual portfolio managers to make specific securities selections consistent with the adviser’s style and investment philosophy. RIMCo has engaged multiple Money Managers for all Funds.

The Board considered that RIMCo (rather than any Money Manager) is responsible under the RIMCo Agreement for determining, implementing and maintaining the investment program for each Fund. Assets of each Fund generally have been allocated among the multiple Money Managers selected by RIMCo, subject to Board approval, for that Fund. RIMCo manages directly a portion of certain Funds’ assets employing a “select holdings strategy,” as described below, and directly manages the investment of each Fund’s cash reserves. RIMCo also may manage directly any portion of each Fund’s assets that RIMCo determines not to allocate to the Money Managers and portions of a Fund during transitions between Money Managers. In all cases, assets are managed directly by RIMCo in accordance with the RIMCo Agreement.

RIMCo is responsible for selecting, subject to Board approval, Money Managers for each Fund and for actively managing allocations and reallocations of assets among the Money Managers. RIMCo’s goal is to construct and manage diversified portfolios in a risk aware manner. Each Money Manager for a Fund in effect performs the function of an individual portfolio manager who is responsible for selecting portfolio securities for the portion of the Fund assigned to it by RIMCo (each, a “segment”) in accordance with the Fund’s applicable investment objective, policies and restrictions, any constraints placed by RIMCo upon their selection of portfolio securities and the Money Manager’s specified role in a Fund. RIMCo is responsible for communicating performance expectations to each Money Manager; supervising compliance by each Money Manager with each Fund’s investment objective and policies; authorizing Money Managers to engage in certain investment strategies for a Fund; and recommending annually to the Board whether portfolio management contracts should be renewed, modified or terminated. In addition to its annual recommendation as to the renewal, modification or termination of portfolio management contracts, RIMCo is responsible for recommending to the Board the restructuring of Fund segments and additions of new Money Managers or replacements of existing Money Managers at any time when, based on RIMCo’s research and ongoing review and analysis, such actions are appropriate. RIMCo may assign specific investment constraints from time to time for each Money Manager intended to capitalize on the strengths of that Money Manager or to coordinate the investment activities of Money Managers for the Fund in a complementary manner. Therefore, RIMCo’s selection of Money Managers is made not only on the basis of performance considerations but anticipated compatibility with other Money Manager in the same Fund. In light of the foregoing, the overall performance of each

Fund over appropriate periods reflects, in great part, the performance of RIMCo in designing the Fund’s investment program, structuring the Fund, selecting an effective Money Manager with a particular investment style or sub-style for a segment that is complementary to the styles of the Money Managers of other Fund segments, and allocating assets among the Money Managers in a manner designed to achieve the objectives of the Fund.

The Board considered that the prospectuses for the Funds and other public disclosures emphasize to investors RIMCo’s role as the principal investment manager for each Fund, rather than the investment selection role of the Funds’ Money Managers, and describe the manner in which the Funds operate so that investors may take that information into account when deciding to purchase shares of any such Fund.

The Board also considered the special expertise of RIMCo with respect to the manager-of-managers structure of the Funds and the likelihood that, at the current expense ratio of each such Fund, there would be no acceptable alternative investment managers to replace RIMCo on comparable terms given the need to continue the manager-of-managers strategy of each such Fund selected by shareholders in purchasing their shares.

In addition to these general factors relating to the manager-of-managers structure of the Funds, the Trustees considered, with respect to each Fund, various specific factors in evaluating renewal of the RIMCo Agreement, including the following:

 

1. The nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Fund by RIMCo;

 

2. The management fee paid by the Fund to RIMCo and the fact that it encompasses all investment advisory fees paid by the Fund, including the fees for any Money Managers of such Fund;

 

3. Information provided by RIMCo as to other fees and benefits received by RIMCo or its affiliates from the Fund, including any administrative, transfer agent, cash management and securities lending fees, soft dollar arrangements and commissions in connection with portfolio securities transactions;

 

4. Information provided by RIMCo as to expenses incurred by the Fund; and

 

5. Information provided by RIMCo as to the profits that RIMCo derives from its mutual fund operations generally and from the Fund.

As noted above, RIMCo pursuant to the terms of the RIMCo Agreement directly manages a portion—up to 10%—of the assets of the Multi-Style Equity Fund (the “Participating Fund”) utilizing a select holdings strategy, the actual allocation being determined by the Participating Fund’s RIMCo portfolio manager. The select holdings strategy utilized by RIMCo in managing such assets for the Participating Fund is designed to increase the Participating Fund’s exposure to stocks that are viewed as attractive by multiple Money Managers of the Participating Fund. The Board reviewed the results of the select holdings strategy in respect of the Participating Fund since implementation taking into account that the strategy has been utilized for a limited period of time. The Trustees considered that RIMCo would not be required to pay investment advisory fees to a Money Manager with respect to assets for which the select holdings strategy is utilized and that the profits derived by RIMCo generally and from the Participating Fund consequently may increase incrementally. The Board, however, also considered RIMCo’s advice that it will pay certain Money Managers additional fees for providing information and other services in connection with the select holdings strategy and expects to incur additional costs in carrying out the select holdings strategy; the limited amount of assets that are managed directly by RIMCo pursuant to the select holdings strategy; and the fact that the aggregate investment advisory fees paid by the Participating Fund are not increased as a result of the select holdings strategy.

At the April 24 Board meeting, RIMCo and management discussed the reasonableness of the Funds’ investment advisory fees. In discussing whether the Funds’ performance supported these fees, RIMCo noted differences between the investment strategies of certain Funds and their respective Comparable Funds in pursuing their investment objectives, including Fund strategies which seek to achieve a lower tracking error (i.e., the difference, whether positive or negative, between the return of a fund and its benchmark) and resulting lower return volatility than Comparable Funds. According to RIMCo, these strategies may be expected to result, and for certain Funds during the periods covered by the Third-Party Information did result, in lower performance than that of some of their respective Comparable Funds. RIMCo stated that the strategies pursued by the Funds are intended to result in less volatile, more moderate returns relative to each Fund’s performance benchmark rather than more volatile, more extreme returns that its Comparable Funds may experience over time.

On the basis of the Agreement Renewal Information, and other information previously received by the Board from RIMCo during the course of the year or presented at the April 24 Board meeting by RIMCo, the Board, in respect of each Fund, found, after giving effect to any applicable waivers and/or reimbursements (1) the management fee charged by RIMCo to be reasonable in light of the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Funds; (2) the relative expense ratio of the Fund was comparable to those

of its Comparable Funds; (3) RIMCo’s methodology of allocating expenses of operating funds in the complex was reasonable; and (4) RIMCo’s profitability with respect to the Fund was not excessive in light of the nature, scope and quality of the services provided by RIMCo. The Board also concluded that the performance of each of the Funds supported continuation of the RIMCo Agreement. In evaluating performance, the Board considered each Fund’s absolute performance and its performance relative to appropriate benchmarks and indices and its Comparable Funds. The Board also considered RIMCo’s investment strategy of managing the Funds in a risk aware manner.

At the April 24 Board meeting, the Board considered for each Fund whether economies of scale have been realized and whether the fees for such Fund appropriately reflect or should be revised to reflect any such economies. The Board determined that the management fees for each Fund appropriately reflect any economies of scale realized by that Fund, based upon such factors as the variability of Money Manager investment advisory fees and other factors associated with the manager-of-managers structure employed by the Funds. The Trustees considered that fees payable to RIMCo by institutional clients with investment objectives similar to those of the Funds and other funds under the Board’s supervision are lower, and may, in some cases, be substantially lower, than the rates paid by the Funds. The Trustees reviewed with RIMCo the differences in the scope of services it provides to institutional clients and the Funds. In response to the Trustees’ inquiries, RIMCo noted, among other things, that institutional clients have fewer administrative needs than the Funds. It was further noted by RIMCo that since the Funds must constantly issue and redeem their shares, they are more difficult to manage than institutional accounts, where assets are relatively stable. Accordingly, the Trustees did not regard these fee differences as relevant to their deliberations.

After considering the foregoing and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that continuation of the RIMCo Agreement on its current terms and conditions would be in the best interests of the Funds and their respective shareholders and voted to approve the continuation of the agreement.

At the April 24 Board meeting, with respect to the evaluation of the terms of portfolio management contracts with Money Managers, the Board received and considered information from RIMCo reporting for each Money Manager, among other things, the Money Manager’s performance over various periods; RIMCo’s assessment of the performance of each Money Manager; any significant business relationships between the Money Manager and RIMCo or Russell Fund Distributors, Inc., the Funds’ underwriter; and RIMCo’s recommendation to retain the Money Manager at the current fee rate, to retain the Money Manager at a reduced fee rate or to terminate the Money Manager. RIMCo recommended that each Money Manager be retained at its current fee rate. RIMCo has advised the Board that it does not regard Money Manager profitability as relevant to its evaluation of the portfolio management contracts with Money Managers because the willingness of Money Managers to serve in such capacity depends upon arm’s-length negotiations with RIMCo; RIMCo is aware of the fees charged by Money Managers to other clients; and RIMCo believes that the fees agreed upon with Money Managers are reasonable in light of the anticipated quality of investment advisory services to be rendered. The Board accepted RIMCo’s explanation in light of the Board’s findings as to the reasonableness of the aggregate investment advisory fees paid by each Fund and the fact that each Money Manager’s fee is paid by RIMCo.

Based substantially upon RIMCo’s recommendations together with the information received from RIMCo in support of its recommendations at the April 24 meeting, the Board concluded that the fees paid to the Money Managers of each Fund are reasonable in light of the quality of the investment advisory services provided and that continuation of the portfolio management agreement with each Money Manager of each Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information as to the RIMCo Agreement or, other than RIMCo’s recommendation, the portfolio management agreement with any Money Manager that was all-important or controlling and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis and their determinations were made in respect of each Fund.

At a meeting held on May 22, the Board of Trustees received a proposal from RIMCo to hire an additional money manager for the Real Estate Securities Fund. The Trustees approved the terms of the portfolio management contract with the new Money Manager based substantially upon RIMCo’s recommendation to hire the Money Manager at the proposed fee rate; any significant business relationships between the Money Manager and RIMCo or Russell Fund Distributors, Inc., the Fund’s underwriter; RIMCo’s explanation as to the lack of relevance of profitability to the evaluation of portfolio management contracts with Money Managers because the willingness of Money Managers to serve in such capacity depends upon arm’s-length negotiations with RIMCo; RIMCo’s awareness of the fees charged by the Money Manager to other clients; and RIMCo’s belief that the proposed investment advisory fees would be reasonable in light of the anticipated quality of investment advisory services to be rendered. The Trustees also considered their findings at their April 24 meeting as to the reasonableness of the aggregate investment advisory fees paid by the Fund, and the fact that the aggregate investment advisory fees paid by the Fund would not increase as a result of the proposed Money Manager change because the Money Managers’ investment advisory fee is paid by RIMCo.

RUSSELL INVESTMENT FUNDS

Supplement dated June 29, 2007 to

PROSPECTUSES DATED APRIL 30, 2007

 

I. Real Estate Securities Fund: The following information relates to a proposed change in status of the Real Estate Securities Fund from a “diversified company” to a “non-diversified company” and supplements the Prospectuses listed above:

 

In connection with the proposed change in classification of the Real Estate Securities Fund, Russell Investment Funds will file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All shareholders are advised to read the proxy statement in its entirety when it becomes available because it will contain important information regarding the proposal, the persons soliciting proxies in connection with the proposal and the interests of these persons in the proposal and related matters. The proxy statement will be mailed to record date shareholders after it has been filed with the SEC. Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement, when available, and other documents filed with the SEC at the SEC’s website at WWW.SEC.GOV. Copies of such documents will also be available, once they are filed with the SEC, at no charge by contacting Russell Investment Funds at 909 A Street, Tacoma, WA 98402, or by calling 1-800-787-7354.

 

The Real Estate Securities Fund is currently classified as a “diversified company” under the Investment Company Act. This means that as to 75% of its assets, no individual security can represent more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets, and the Fund cannot own more than 10% of any one issuer’s outstanding voting securities. The Fund’s diversification policy is a fundamental policy that can be changed only by a shareholder vote.

 

At a meeting held on May 22, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Russell Investment Funds, upon the recommendation of RIMCo, has approved, subject to shareholder approval, the change in status of the Real Estate Securities Fund from a “diversified company” to a “non-diversified company.” The proposed change from diversified to non-diversified status is intended to provide the Fund with more investment flexibility to respond to consolidation in the Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) industry and to take larger positions in one or more issuers in the REIT industry. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund will be subject to additional risk. To the extent the Fund invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or group of issuers, the Fund’s performance will be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of the single issuer or group of issuers, and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence, than it would be had the Fund continued to operate as a diversified fund.

 

The change in status can only happen if, among other things, it is approved by the Shareholders of the Real Estate Securities Fund. A Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Funds is expected to be held on or about October 25, 2007 and shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote on the change in status.

 

It is currently anticipated that on or about August 24, 2007, proxy materials regarding the change in status will be distributed to shareholders of record as of July 31, 2007.

I. Real Estate Securities Fund: The following information relates to a proposed change in status of the Real Estate Securities Fund from a “diversified company” to a “non-diversified company” and supplements the Prospectuses listed above:

 

In connection with the proposed change in classification of the Real Estate Securities Fund, Russell Investment Funds has filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All shareholders are advised to read the proxy statement in its entirety because it contains important information regarding the proposal, the persons soliciting proxies in connection with the proposal and the interests of these persons in the proposal and related matters.
