WASATCH

FUNDS

Deeper, Disciplined Investing

Thank you for your investment in Wasatch Funds. We hope this report

will be helpful to you in understanding each of the funds within the Wasatch family.

As a reminder, manager commentaries can always be found on our website

www.WasatchFunds.com approximately three weeks after the end of each calendar

quarter.

Who we are.

We are a research driven, employee owned firm managing no-load mutual funds. Located at the foot of the Wasatch

Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, we are far away from Wall Street and its herd mentality. Our portfolio managers

are independent, yet collaborative, thinkers who bring substantial experience to their funds.

Where we came from.

Founded in 1975, by Dr. Sam Stewart, we initially focused on growth investing in small companies. Using a fundamental,

bottom up research method we looked for market inefficiencies relative to the long term growth potential of

lesser known companies. Investing in small, harder to find companies required a disciplined, rigorous and independent

research process. Over time, Wasatch added more research professionals and began applying the same successful

process to investing in micro, value, international, and larger companies.

What we believe.

We believe in common sense investing, involving deep due diligence, cross-team collaboration, and commitment to

discipline, as we follow our central investment philosophy of:

“Earnings Growth Drives Stock Prices Over the Long Term”

What we do.

We utilize a proven and repeatable process to uncover interesting companies. We look deeper to find and understand

each company. We leverage portfolio managers from across the firm to fully vet each investment idea. We stay true

to our investment style. We close funds before they get too large in order to protect shareholders. We seek to deliver

above-average returns over the long-term, and we strive in every way to earn the trust of our shareholders.

If your have any questions please visit our website www.WasatchFunds.com or feel free to call

us Monday through Friday 7am – 7pm CT at 1.800.551.1700.

Investing in small cap funds will be volatile and loss of principle could be greater than investing in large cap or

more diversified funds. Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, entails special risks, such

as currency fluctuations and political uncertainties, which are described in more detail in the prospectus. An

investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a

prospectus, which contains this and other information, visit www.wasatchfunds.com or call 800.551.1700. Please

read the prospectus carefully before investing. Wasatch Funds are distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc.

What makes Wasatch different?

Deeper – We use an intensely thorough process to fully understand each investment.

Disciplined – We stick to our process and investment style regardless of market fads.

Collaborative – We work across portfolios to leverage valuable experience and research insights.

Independent – We do our own research to avoid getting caught in the herd.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS —“MORE OF THE SAME

Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA

President of
Wasatch Funds

  

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

 

ECONOMY

 

Last year I used an analogy of crossing a white water river and then having to climb a steep riverbank to describe our economic situation. Well, we seem to have finally made it to the top of the riverbank. Unfortunately, what we can see from the top of the bank is that we have a long, dusty, uphill road still ahead to make it back to town.

In my recent quarterly letters I have been discussing the long-term structural challenges that our economy faces — the most concerning being reduced access to credit, continuing high unemployment, and increasing government debt and regulatory burdens. Reflecting on these concerns, I would describe this quarter’s economic progress as just more of the same, as we have not seen a meaningful change in these metrics. I have expected them to be slow to improve, but for the moment it feels like we have paused at the top of the riverbank to catch our breath before beginning the long walk to town.

There has been quite a bit of talk recently about a double-dip recession — sliding back down the riverbank. I am less concerned about such a risk and more focused on what it’s going to take to hike back to town. The

government played an important role in keeping us from getting swept down the river at the height of the crisis, but now it is up to the people to get the economy restarted using our inherent ingenuity, entrepreneurial spirit, and hard work.

Outside of the U.S., I believe Europe is in an even tougher spot because the continent faces similar challenges to ours while also trying to tie disparate countries together with only a monetary union. It may be surprising to many, but emerging countries have best weathered the financial and economic storm and are positioned for continued growth. Although not considered “developed” economies, emerging countries were actually well ahead of the developed world in intelligent self-management — or perhaps more accurately, developed countries extended themselves beyond intelligent self-management.

Emerging economies are not getting everything right and have felt pain as well, but many are in better shape than developed countries. A recent Barron’s article noted that the U.K. and the U.S. have actually nationalized more companies during the financial crisis than were nationalized in Africa over the last nine years.1 Brazil’s and India’s banks have been solid throughout the financial crisis because those countries have regulations that limited the risk banks could undertake in the form of loan quality, leverage, and the like.

MARKET

The S&P 500 is up just over 10% for the past 12 months but, as market watchers know, it has not been a steady ride. Between February and April we saw the market rise almost 14% just to watch those gains and more vanish by the beginning of July. As people asked me about the falling market in May and June, I described the situation as “a change in perception, not a change in reality.” It appeared to me that the market had gotten ahead of the economic recovery as investors reacted to short-term data and chose not to acknowledge the longer-term challenges our economy faces. Events like the Greek financial crisis this spring caused investors to finally pause and at least temporarily consider these deeper issues.

Of the past year’s market gains, roughly 90% came in what was an unusually strong September — the S&P 500 gained about 9%. I am surprised to see just how momentum-driven the market remains. At times it feels to me like investors have failed to learn a lesson from the recent crisis, and that they remain incredibly shortsighted. As a result, the current market has created an interesting dichotomy — companies that are really doing well are getting all of the attention, while strong companies that are only firing on six of their eight cylinders are being overlooked. This makes it a good time to take some profits on stocks whose prices are moving up as well as to re-invest in forgotten companies that are well-positioned for the future but not yet firing on all cylinders.

We are also seeing a determined search for yield by investors, primarily through a continuing flight to bonds. This is partly driven by increased fear of the equity markets and partly by the investment needs of retiring baby boomers. As I’ve mentioned in recent quarters, I’m afraid that many of these bond investors are taking on more risk than they realize. Bond funds have been delivering unsustainably high returns as bond prices have been driven up by historically low interest rates and heavy demand. When interest rates begin to rise again we will likely see bond funds with negative returns.

In this quest for yield we are also seeing investors increasingly buying high yield bonds, perhaps without realizing the quality implications. I find this somewhat ironic since similar low-quality securities led to the financial crisis just two years ago. I’m concerned that new bond investors may not realize the risks they are accepting — interest rate risk and credit risk — because of the common misperception many investors have of all bonds being low risk by nature.

Meanwhile, blue chip stocks are being passed over despite offering attractive yields and trading at historically low valuations.

Given such incongruities, I expect that we will continue to experience a seesaw market, but overall I think the U.S. and European equity markets are likely to be sluggish over the next 12 months as we continue to work through our economic challenges.

WASATCH

Wasatch Funds had another successful year, with most of our funds outpacing their benchmark indices (please see individual fund performance on the following portfolio summary pages). I have been happy to report good years in 2009 and 2010, yet I can’t overlook the fact that we are still working to make up the ground lost in 2008. We have more work to do.

Our international team had a particularly strong year. All three international funds were ranked in the Top 1% of their respective Morningstar peer group based on total return for the year ended 9/30/10 (see chart below). The funds benefited from good stock picking, particularly in emerging markets, and an underweight position in Western Europe — where we simply hadn’t found as many interesting companies using our bottom-up investment process.

Time and again our portfolio managers return from trips abroad telling stories of small companies they visited which rarely, if ever, receive visits from U.S. investment firms. With decades of small cap experience and an expansive universe of relatively unknown small and micro cap companies around the world, we remain convinced that our hands-on deep due diligence approach gives Wasatch a significant investment advantage.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

As I reflect on the past year, and look forward to the next, the Wasatch research commitment is as strong as ever, and I have seen continued progress across each of our key pillars:

 

  Ÿ  

Deep Due Diligence — Someone is almost always on the road visiting companies. We increased our international travel this year. For example, team members returned from Brazil last week, others are in Canada this week, and another pair leaves for Malaysia and Indonesia next week.

  Ÿ  

Collaboration — Our collaborative culture is thriving. We continue to experiment with how best to integrate our domestic and international teams in order to tap into increasingly relevant global insights.

  Ÿ  

Discipline — Our research process remains consistent and I am pleased with the long-term perspective we have maintained through the recent short-term market swings. Our “high-end consulting” (a process of evaluating and critiquing each other’s portfolio) continues to be a great collaborative tool to help us tighten each fund’s adherence to its investment strategy “north star.”

The Wasatch research team is comprised of bright and seasoned investors. Our success is driven by their passion, a proven investment approach, and our culture of collaboration. Our research teams are led by portfolio managers who understand and have a vested interest in how research works. For example, Roger Edgley, director of our international team, is a co-manager of all three international funds. Jeff Cardon, director of our domestic team, has been the portfolio manager on the Small Cap Growth Fund since its inception almost 24 years ago (he is also CEO of Wasatch Advisors, investment advisor to Wasatch Funds). In future letters, I think it would benefit shareholders to have greater exposure to the breadth and strength of our team. As such, I plan to ask others to join me in providing their perspectives on relevant topics. As a reminder, my quarterly letter, as well as a quarterly commentary from each portfolio manager, can be accessed online at www.WasatchFunds.com.

Thank you for the continued opportunity to manage your assets.

Sincerely,

WASATCH CORE GROWTH FUND (WGROX)Management Discussion   SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
 
 

 

The Wasatch Core Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor and Paul Lambert.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Core Growth Fund gained 9.19% in what was its strongest quarter since the third quarter of 2009. The Russell 2000 Index also had its best quarter in a year, rising

11.29%. It was not unexpected that the Fund trailed the Index given our tendency to lag in rapidly rising markets. The stable and consistent growth companies in the portfolio are rarely the stocks to lead the market when optimism and appetite for risk increase. We expect our stocks to keep pace in such markets, as they have done on a year-to-date basis, and then continue to grow and outperform in less robust markets.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Our economy emerged from recession in June 2009 but is expanding at a slower rate than is typical of post-recessionary periods. We think the economy will remain sluggish given high unemployment, unprecedented levels of U.S. debt and rising taxes needed to pay for government spending. In such an environment, we believe companies with true growth prospects will command a premium.

We are already seeing some signs of this narrowing in the market, as information technology stocks, which make up less than 20% of the Russell 2000 Index, accounted for nearly 30% of the Index’s return this quarter. Fast-growing companies in the areas of cloud computing, security software and Internet retailing were some of the best performers. While we are interested in the underlying themes behind these fast-growing companies, the lofty price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples and fast-changing dynamics in technology make them less appropriate for our style, which is focused on steady, consistent growth at a reasonable price. Nonetheless, the market’s focus on growth bodes well for our companies, as we believe they will continue to grow at rates faster than the overall economy.

One of our best-performing stocks this quarter was Herbalife Ltd., a global marketer of nutritional products. The company reported the best quarterly results in its history, including a 4.3% increase in operating margin and a 72% increase in earnings. Herbalife has shifted its strategy from traditional multi-level marketing, where customers order from distributors on a monthly basis, to more of a retail approach that emphasizes daily consumption. There are several advantages to the new model, such as expanding the market to customers that are not willing to commit to becoming Herbalife distributors but are still interested in purchasing the company’s weight-loss products. Obesity is a growing problem around the world, and we expect the sales

of Herbalife’s healthy products will continue to benefit as people try to slim down.

MSCI, Inc. is another name that performed especially well. The company provides equity market indices and investment analytics, and its indices are linked to more than 250 exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Its shares were weak in the second quarter when a decline in the global equity markets implied a decline in ETF revenues. This quarter, global equities rallied sharply, and so did MSCI. Despite the stock’s volatility, there has been no change in the company’s growth trajectory over the two-quarter period. The business is showing good momentum, supported by solid demand for ETFs and risk management analytics.

Health care was the only sector in the Fund that had a negative return, where veterinary company VCA Antech, Inc. was a big detractor. In this economy, consumers are cutting back on what they are willing to spend to take care of their pets — they may skip a routine test or wait for a sick pet to recover versus taking it right to the vet. Demand had shown signs of stabilizing earlier in the year, but investors were disappointed with VCA Antech’s most recent revenues and earnings, prompting a sell-off in the stock. Long term, we think the business is very stable given the trend toward increasing pet ownership and higher spending per pet. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Our foreign stocks were a key driver of the Fund’s strong performance during the 12 months ended September 30. Positions in several Indian and Brazilian banks did especially well, as robust economic growth in these countries is stimulating loan demand. Top domestic performers included O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. and Monro Muffler Brake, Inc., companies with steady revenue streams that sell less “discretionary” goods. Health care was the Fund’s weakest sector against the backdrop of regulatory reform in the United States.

OUTLOOK

As we look ahead, one question we are asking ourselves is: Does the narrowing of the market that we saw in the third quarter continue, with just a small slice of high-growth, high-P/E stocks driving returns? While this is certainly possible, we are comfortable with our holdings and would never stray from our valuation discipline by chasing hot stocks in a frothy market. We think a likely scenario is that the challenges facing the economy will make investors less optimistic — and less likely to aggressively bid up any segment of the market to lofty valuations. Our portfolio of steadily growing companies that we believe are reasonably valued has the potential to do well in such an environment.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund gained 22.80% in the third quarter and outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, which was up 20.48%. Performance for

the quarter was strong as markets rebounded from a weaker second quarter. Overall, the gains within the Fund were broad based across markets, sectors and names. If there is a single element across the Fund’s top contributors this quarter, it is the presence of many consumer-oriented names.

Our philosophy is to invest broadly across the countries and sectors that are within its remit. It is important to note that the opportunities we favor go well beyond the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) — to countries like South Africa, Peru, Thailand, Egypt and Indonesia amongst others. Our job is to go where many do not — to invest in underfollowed countries and companies. Many of the countries that did well in the quarter were smaller ones that were well represented in the Fund. The top five contributors for the quarter were from the following countries: Brazil, India, Indonesia, Thailand and China.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Some interesting new names we added include Clicks Group Ltd. (South Africa), Diagnosticos da America S.A. (DASA) (Brazil), and Marisa Lojas S.A. (Brazil). Although emerging market small caps have had a year of strong returns, we are still able to find names that we believe have excellent long term prospects — companies that are well managed, financially well structured, and able to take advantage of the important changes in their economies. Clicks Group is a South African based retailer that includes a leading pharmacy chain and brand name stores like The Body Shop. We feel it is well placed with South African consumers and the pharmacy business should benefit as it takes market share from smaller “mom and pop” operators.

Two members of Wasatch’s team were in Brazil in September visiting companies including DASA and Marisa mentioned above. DASA is the largest clinical diagnostics and imaging laboratory group in Brazil (it would rate as one of the top five in the world). Health care trends in Brazil include a push toward efficiency as more members of the population enter private health care plans and increasing government spending.

Marisa is an apparel store chain with a focus on female buyers and “middle” consumers. We might compare Marisa to Old Navy or the Gap in the U.S. It has different kinds of formats so it is not just tied to malls, which have seen strong

growth in Brazil, but has street fronts, one of which we visited in Rio de Janeiro. Marisa has seen strong, same-store growth and sees attractive opportunities in other areas of Brazil.

Names that made significant contributions in the quarter included Cia. Hering (Brazil), LIC Housing Finance Ltd. (India), O-Net Communications Group Ltd. (China), and PT Jasa Marga (Indonesia). In terms of losers for the quarter, there were no significant “torpedoes”—the worst performing name was down about 25% and just 12 stocks had negative returns.

One of the most important trends we see across emerging economies is the growth of consumer spending as incomes and wealth grow significantly. This continues to be an important theme that cuts across many areas ranging from mortgage finance growth to health care spending to higher spending on apparel.

We have seen increased merger and acquisition activity and we expect to see more in the coming months. Two companies in the portfolio were impacted during the quarter. Another company purchased a controlling stake in Tivit Terceirizacao de Processos Servicos e Tecnologia S.A. (Brazil) and Dufry Group (Switzerland) acquired the assets of a South American company held in the portfolio. We sold both positions. A long-term holding we sold was Kingdee International Software Group Co. Ltd. (China), a Chinese software company, as its stock price reached a level we believed to be fully valued. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund gained 51.69% over the past 12 months and outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, which gained 32.32%. The top contributing countries were India, Indonesia, Brazil, China, Thailand and South Africa. Overall, our individual investments performed well for the year. There were few detractors. The top contributors came from a broad range of countries and sectors and included Cia. Hering, LIC Housing Finance Ltd., KPJ Healthcare Berhad (Malaysia) and PT Mayora Indah Tbk (Indonesia).

OUTLOOK

This has been a strong year of performance for small caps in emerging markets backed by strong asset flows from investors. We have some concern regarding global investors crowding into this segment of emerging markets with valuation levels looking — in some sectors and countries — closer to fair value. However, we still see attractive opportunities — it is a broad universe.

We remain grateful for the faith shown in us by our shareholders and we will continue to work hard to justify it. Emerging markets small caps are an exciting segment for us as an investment team and we possess long-term faith in its opportunities.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The Global Opportunities Fund posted a strong gain during the third quarter in what was a positive environment for stock investing. Developed and emerging markets rallied as data

coming out of the United States suggested the world’s largest economy would avoid a double-dip recession. Moreover, the Federal Reserve indicated that it was prepared to take additional steps to revive the U.S. economy, if needed.

Returns in the Fund were strong across geographies and sectors. We are pleased by the breadth of the good performance, since the Fund’s mandate gives us the flexibility to invest in companies of any size, in any country and in any type of business. That said, we are disappointed that we lagged the market indices. Our goal is to keep up with the market when stock prices are rising and provide the potential to outperform when they are falling.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Western Europe was a key area of strength in the Fund, and our investments in the region gained approximately 25%. Two of our best-performing stocks were Melexis N.V. (Belgium) and Wirecard AG (Germany), which are top-weighted holdings. Melexis designs semiconductors used in automotive electronics, and the company announced record revenues and earnings in July. Melexis is benefiting from Asia’s booming auto market and the rising chip content in cars, as high-tech features like adaptive cruise control become more prevalent. Wirecard is the leading processor of online payment transactions in Europe. The company has a history of strong growth — growing even throughout the recession — and should continue to thrive as it adds customers and expands geographically. Wirecard is one of several names in the Fund that is capitalizing on the migration from traditional “bricks and mortar” retailing to Internet retailing.

We also did well in emerging markets, including China, India and Brazil. Similar to last quarter, a number of our Chinese consumer stocks and Indian banks had substantial gains — names like Anta Sports Products Ltd. (China) and Allahabad Bank Ltd. (India). Strength in Brazil was driven by companies in a broad group of industries, from health care services to machinery to personal care products. We are excited about the growth we are seeing in emerging countries, but these markets have gotten a bit expensive.

Our U.S. holdings produced a strong gain but lagged the international piece of the portfolio. Major detractors included several semiconductor, business services and health

care companies whose operating performance and/or growth outlooks disappointed investors. For example, revenues for Supertex, Inc., a semiconductor manufacturer, came in below expectations due to a shortage in test and assembly capacity. CRA International, Inc., a consulting firm, beat second-quarter estimates but gave a cautious outlook for the rest of the year. Management cited the reluctance of corporations to spend on consulting services in the weak economy.

We faced some sector and industry headwinds in the quarter. Our big weighting in health care was a negative, as government reform in the United States has clouded the outlook for many health care companies. In addition, Americans are cutting back on medical services, as jobs losses lead to lost health insurance, and as more people opt for high-deductible plans. Our relatively low exposure to energy and metals and mining stocks also hurt performance. These areas of the market did especially well on rising commodity prices.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Our investments in emerging markets gained more than 50% during the 12 months ended September 30. India was one of the best-performing countries in the Fund, where the list of top contributors was dominated by financial services companies. Although returns were positive in most developed markets, Australia was a notable exception. We have been upgrading the quality of our holdings in Australia following a recent trip to the country.

Performance was strong in most sectors, with consumer discretionary and information technology making the largest contributions to return. Top-performing holdings included ASOS plc (United Kingdom), an Internet retailer, and OPNET Technologies, Inc., a developer of network management software. The generally weak performance of our construction and engineering stocks limited gains in the industrials sector.

OUTLOOK

The U.S. recovery remains fragile, and investors are waiting to see if the Federal Reserve will step in to provide support. The outcome of the November U.S. elections is also of intense interest given its implications for taxes and regulation. Overseas, many emerging economies are growing rapidly but, like the United States, developed European countries are struggling with public deficits.

While uncertainty abounds, we aren’t spending our time trying to figure out if the economic and political landscape is going to get better or worse. Our job is to identify great companies whose individual characteristics should allow them to do well regardless of what is happening in the macro environment. If we can find these types of companies, and pay reasonable prices for them, we believe we can deliver strong results over time.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

The Wasatch Global Science & Technology Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Sam Stewart.

Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Global Science & Technology Fund returned 13.94% in the quarter, bringing its 12-month return to 22.91%. The companies we own in the Fund reported sales and earnings growth of 24% and 46%, respectively, significantly above the broader market average.

 

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

 

We made further progress toward reducing the number of portfolio hold-

ings during the past three months. Fewer holdings will allow us to get more wood behind the arrow of our best ideas. A related goal was increasing the percentage of the portfolio invested in our highest conviction ideas. We are happy to report that our top 10 holdings now represent about 27% of the portfolio, up from approximately 19% at the beginning of the year. We believe that running a more concentrated portfolio will allow us to use our knowledge base more effectively for the benefit of our shareholders.

The stocks we sold during the quarter fell into three main categories. First were those where we thought the market had more than priced in strong business prospects, such as F5 Networks, Inc., Techne Corp., and NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. The second group included companies that became subject to new regulatory risk, including MEDNAX, Inc. and Korean company MegaStudy Co. Ltd. While these are great companies, we think the discounts offered in the stock prices are not enough to justify the current level of risk. We would love to come back to the stocks in these two groups sometime down the road if their prices become more reasonable. The final group is companies that we deemed good but not great. In most cases, we based our decision on some combination of the stocks’ lower-quality business models and less attractive end markets.

One of the clear highlights from the quarter was the first major payoff from our improved focus on our best ideas. Our top holding going into the quarter — Wirecard AG, a German company that provides payment services for online transactions — was also our top contributor thanks to its large position size and 59% price increase. Early in the year, Wirecard was one of our larger holdings with a 2% weighting. When an Internet rumor dragged down its stock price, our discussions with company management, several industry experts, and our own experienced research team gave us the confidence to add to our position. As a result, we came into the third quarter with a 4% weighting in the stock. While we have taken some profits following its strong rally, Wirecard remains our top pick based on our belief that it is an attractively priced way to ride the tailwind as more and more retail transactions occur online.

Another large holding that generated a strong return was Abcam plc, the Cambridge, England-based online antibody distributor. We’ve owned Abcam for years and consider it to

be similar to Amazon.com, except focused on supplies used in lab research. Abcam, which has been rapidly taking market share from the traditional paper-based catalogs in the industry, has generated high sales growth before, during, and after the recession. Abcam’s shares rose nearly 50% in the quarter.

Another recurring theme was our purchase of stocks that Wasatch owns currently or has owned at some point in the past, including NuVasive, Inc., Copart, Inc., VistaPrint N.V., and Japanese e-commerce company Start Today Co. Ltd. We love it when the market gives us a chance to buy companies we know well at discounted prices. Our long history with these companies means we are way up the information curve on day one of ownership, and we’ve already built up relationships and trust in senior management.

A key detractor was ICON plc, an Ireland-based contract research organization that reduced its earnings guidance to the low end of the previous range. Also weighing on performance were our holdings in Japanese software company Simplex Technology, Inc., veterinary services provider VCA Antech, Inc., and technology equipment company Intevac, Inc. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

The Fund’s one-year return of 22.91% is also an indication of the fundamental strengths of the underlying companies we have held in the portfolio. For the year, our companies generated 16% year-over-year sales growth and 39% growth in bottom-line earnings. A substantial contribution to performance came from our investments overseas, where on average about half of the Fund’s assets were invested. China and Brazil proved to be fertile ground for growth investments. Among U.S.-based companies, Akamai Technologies, Inc. and F5 Networks made the largest contributions to performance. The most significant detractors were Intevac and CVS Group plc (United Kingdom).

OUTLOOK

As the financial crisis and ensuing recession move further into the rear view mirror, we believe the market will value real growth above growth pretenders (companies enjoying high year-over-year growth mostly due to easy earnings comparisons). We continue to tune out most of the macroeconomic noise in order to spend our time in pursuit of under-appreciated growth companies. We are gratified that quarterly and annual data show that our portfolio holdings are achieving earnings growth and higher valuations — a potentially powerful combination.

As we continue the process of pruning the Fund’s holdings, we are increasingly satisfied that we have a portfolio of companies offering under-appreciated growth. Even as the market recognizes some of this growth potential, we continue to find ample opportunities for investing in attractively valued growth companies.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

Even in the face of a tepid economic environment, it was a rare September to remember for stocks. The market — as gauged by the S&P 500 Index — hadn’t closed a third quarter with a monthly gain this

large (8.92%) since 1939. As investors latched onto the hope of a strengthening recovery, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index turned in a strong gain, led by consumer discretionary and economically sensitive producer durable stocks. Primarily due to its lower weights in cyclical stocks and the consumer-driven retail segment, the Fund trailed the benchmark for the quarter.

The Fund was unable to keep pace in a frothy environment after outperforming the benchmark during second quarter weakness. In particular, our cautiousness regarding consumers tempered our returns. Both high unemployment and excess valuations in the space have made it difficult to find attractively valued consumer oriented stocks.

We believe the quality of the Fund’s holdings constrained returns a bit as well, as investors bid up shares of many companies with volatile earnings as economic murkiness dissipated slightly. By and large, our companies were able to weather the challenges of the last two years reasonably well. As many formerly profitable companies saw earnings turn negative, even at the worst, many of our holdings at least sustained their level of earnings. This then transformed into fairly robust growth over the last several quarters, which we project will normalize in the future.

While we ideally would outperform the market during rallies, given the quality of our holdings, it is not surprising that the Fund would only keep pace or trail slightly during extremely bullish environments. Rallies are typically fueled by speculation, which tends to bode well for volatile companies that can showcase what are often temporary fundamental surprises or those stocks that have been beaten down the most in prior market declines.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Although we’ve always been diligent about investing in companies that meet our exacting standards, we’ve never been more pleased about the Fund’s composition than we are now. We have made an even more concerted effort to ensure that every company held in the Fund meets each appendage of what we call the three-legged stool — quality, valuation and momentum.

As our companies hopefully continue to perform steadily, meeting or exceeding our hurdle growth rate of 15%, we believe they will be rewarded in the market over the long-term.

The Fund’s performance was buoyed by strength in the information technology sector, where Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., Altera Corp. and Amphenol Corp. were the highest contributors to performance.

Outside of technology, Herbalife Ltd., a provider of health foods primarily focused on weight management and nutritional supplements, was one of our top-performing stocks.

Copart, Inc. and Covance, Inc. both suffered what we believe to be temporary setbacks detracting from the quarter’s performance. They are both debt-free and hold significant amounts of cash, which should allow them flexibility as they focus on future business opportunities. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

As it did during the third quarter, information technology drove the Fund’s performance for the year, with Altera, Cognizant and F5 Networks, Inc. leading the way. The Fund returned 16.06% and trailed the 18.27% return of the benchmark.

In a strong market environment, Apollo Group, Inc., a for-profit higher education provider, accounted for most of the performance gap as it faced stiff regulatory challenges concerning the availability of student aid. As unexpected headwinds continued to mount, we recently sold the Fund’s stake in this long-time holding.

We also concentrated the Fund and, in our opinion, increased its overall quality by focusing on our top tier companies. During the year, we trimmed the Fund’s holdings from 54 to 42 and feel that the Fund is now better positioned to perform well.

OUTLOOK

Even though the recession officially ended in June 2009, high unemployment and increasing levels of public debt continue to put a damper on economic activity. Although it’s clear that the path to a more normal economic environment will be long and arduous, it doesn’t dampen our enthusiasm about the Fund’s prospects. With the luxury of being able to invest in a small portion of existing public companies, we can be selective and pinpoint companies that we believe will do well in spite of macro challenges.

Though we are pleased with the Fund’s current composition, we continue to screen for additional investment opportunities and visit management teams of both existing and prospective companies. A large amount of insight that can’t be gleaned merely from reviewing financial statements — especially regarding corporate culture — is gained by meeting with management teams face-to-face. Even visits with companies that we ultimately choose not to invest in are an invaluable comparison tool that can help strengthen our conviction about the companies that are held in the Fund.

In our view, the three legs of the stool seem properly balanced. We feel extremely positive about the quality and the earnings growth momentum of the Fund and that valuations are low enough to allow for satisfactory returns over time.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch International Growth Fund returned 23.33% in the third quarter and outperformed the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which returned 18.43%. The Fund was helped by its exposure to Asia and Latin America, where markets performed well and economies are growing. In general, developed economies struggled in a more difficult credit and consumer environment against the

more pro-growth emerging economies, and that is what is playing out today.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

It is worth discussing in detail the top contributors for the quarter as they illustrate well our philosophy and some common elements across names. Among the top contributors to performance were Abcam plc (United Kingdom), Wirecard AG (Germany), Cia. Hering (Brazil) and Dah Chong Hong Holdings Ltd. (Hong Kong). All are companies we know well and that operate from a position of significant strength in their fields of business.

As a Cambridge-based online provider of antibodies for the research community worldwide, Abcam has been a big long-term winner for the Fund. We found Abcam when it was a tiny company. Now, its market capitalization is close to a billion dollars. We have cut back some of our position size owing to its weight in the Fund and valuation, but Abcam remains a prominent position.

Wirecard is a payment service provider in Europe, focused on enabling Internet payments and providing an extra layer of credit protection for merchants selling online. It therefore is a significant beneficiary of the growth of online transactions in Europe and is now starting to grow in Asia.

Cia. Hering is a brand name retailer in Brazil continuing to add stores in other regions. In a meeting with management (and a store visit) in the last few weeks, they stated that they believe it is possible to double the number of stores, with franchising being part of that growth. Our recent visit to Brazil reinforced our opinion of the opportunity there —Brazil to us seems to represent a combination of well-managed small companies within an economy showing highly supportive trends.

Dah Chong Hong (DCH) is a name we added that illustrates how we source our ideas in different ways. DCH has been the main distributor for Honda for 40 years. It is a company this portfolio manager learned about firsthand years ago when living in Hong Kong as the owner of a new Honda Civic bought from and serviced by a DCH dealer. At Wasatch, we were aware of DCH’s level of service and organization and knew that Honda chooses their distributors with care. Aside from representing some major car brands in Hong Kong, DCH has a growing portfolio of brands it represents in China. The stock is a relatively new listing, one

we thought was inexpensive — maybe being perceived as somewhat dull or just misunderstood. After good results were announced, with DCH’s China operations showing growth, the stock was significantly upgraded. The business has a long commercial history, so we think it can produce stable growth over a long period.

The worst performing names for the quarter generally had one thing in common: Japan. As an economy, Japan continues to struggle with deflation, low growth and a strong currency that makes it difficult for its exporters to remain competitive. Construction equipment firm Takeuchi Mfg. Co. Ltd. is one of our holdings that has been hurt by these factors. We have been underweight in Japan for a long time — we find it relatively unattractive from a bottom up stock perspective as well as from a top down economic view. Growing small companies thrive not only on growth in their own economies but from change — Japan in many areas is seeing little change and few opportunities. Zero-level interest rates indicate an economy ruled by continuing fears of deflation, lacking animal spirits. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

The Fund outperformed the Index over the past 12 months with strong performance from the United Kingdom, India, Brazil and Indonesia. Our U.K. investments in Abcam and online fashion retailer ASOS plc did especially well. We also had good results from our Indian financial companies, notably LIC Housing Finance Ltd. and Allahabad Bank Ltd. In Brazil, Cia. Hering was a top contributor as was cosmetics producer Natura Cosmeticos. Two cement producers, Semen Gresik and Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa, led the way in Indonesia. Japan was also weak over the 12-month period, with several Japanese holdings numbering among our largest detractors.

OUTLOOK

As 2010 draws to a close, we remain aware of global economic and trade tensions and how these can disrupt markets. For many of the small, generally domestically-oriented companies we invest in, we believe that conditions are supportive with tighter capital flows helping the higher quality companies on which we focus. With over 10,000 companies in our investable universe, there continue to be companies that stand out to us as long-term benefactors of growth throughout the world. We are confident that we can continue to build a portfolio of companies that exhibit higher quality and better growth prospects than the markets in general. We remain very grateful for all the support shown by shareholders.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The third quarter saw global equities stage a bit of a comeback, though volatility remained very much in evidence. Consumers in most developed markets were still keeping a close

watch on their spending, but those in China and other emerging markets spent at a more robust pace.

The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund returned 20.09% during the quarter, placing it comfortably ahead of its benchmark, the MSCI World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which returned 17.75% over the same period. With no single theme or trend driving the market, our individual stock selection was the main factor in the Fund’s outperformance for the period.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The absence of a single specific theme or trend driving the market is evident among our 10 top contributors to performance over the quarter, where nine different countries on four continents and 10 industries in four major market sectors were represented.

Germany’s Wirecard AG, a provider of credit-card processing and electronic payment systems, was our top contributor to performance for the quarter. Wirecard has benefited from the broad trend toward moving more transactions online, but its success is driven by more than that. We believe the company’s technology for handling transaction processing, currency conversion, and other banking services is world class, and it has already moved into many high-growth markets.

In another part of the world, Middle Eastern shipper Aramex PJSC was also a strong contributor. What’s been most important to Aramex’s performance has been its ability to continue to improve top-line growth. With some of the region’s debt problems nearing resolution, there are now signs of renewed growth — growth that Aramex appears well-positioned to capitalize on.

U.K.-based Abcam plc, which makes specialized antibodies used in medical research, exemplifies a quality shared by most of our top performers this quarter. Its strong returns for the period don’t result from a specific piece of good company news, or a positive development in its industry. Rather, they simply reflect the market’s recognition of the company’s success in executing its business plan. That may not sound as exciting as talking about a company that’s experienced a rapid, stupendous run-up based on a breakthrough development, but this more sustainable kind of performance is far more important to the

Fund’s long-term results. Finding the often overlooked companies that have the potential to produce returns in this way, over an extended period of time, is perhaps the greatest challenge we face as investment managers.

After being our strongest holding last quarter, Simplex Technology, Inc. was the greatest detractor from performance this period. The company preannounced that it would miss its earnings targets for the year, which sent its shares tumbling. While that news was disappointing, we believe the stock has been unfairly punished. Even though Simplex’s sales in its systems-integration services area haven’t been up to expectations, the company has still benefited from the high recurring revenues that flow from its work in developing electronic securities-trading platforms. In time, we think investors will once again recognize the company’s true value.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, the Fund returned 31.71%, reflecting significant outperformance over its benchmark index, which posted a return of 10.86%. As in the most recent quarter, strong individual stock selection was the main factor in our performance over the period.

Aramex was the top contributor for the year, followed closely by U.K.-based Internet retailer ASOS plc. ASOS’s positioning to benefit from shoppers’ growing preference for Internet-based transactions has allowed the company to post strong earnings despite tepid consumer spending in developed markets. Sports apparel maker China Hongxing Sports Ltd., the greatest detractor from performance for the year, stumbled while executing its plan to attract customers from China’s emerging consumer class. Disappointed, we sold our position. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

With a great deal of investors’ cash still on the sidelines, an important question in coming months will be whether more of it will return to the global equity markets. Although the global economic outlook remains uncertain, there appears to be a consensus that governments around the world will take the steps they need to in order to avoid a double-dip recession. Our focus remains on identifying companies with strategic advantages that can allow them to succeed regardless of the macroeconomic climate.

We’re finding this environment to be very helpful for fundamentally driven stock-pickers like us. With no single trend driving the market, we’re able to uncover opportunities in a number of markets and a wide range of sectors — and get to them before they’re discovered by the broader investment community. Operating in the micro- and small-cap space is also helpful, as a number of the companies we’re most enthusiastic about aren’t big enough to be on most investors’ radar screens.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH MICRO CAP FUND (WMICX)Management Discussion   SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
 
 

 

The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Daniel Chace.

 

LOGO

 

Daniel Chace, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund gained 10.45% during the third quarter. The Fund outperformed the Russell Microcap Index, which rose 7.81%, but trailed the Russell 2000 Index, which was up 11.29%.

The U.S. stock market had its best quarter in a year. Worries about Europe’s sovereign debt problems subsided, as countries took steps to cut their budget deficits and strengthen

their banking systems. In addition, the U.S. economy showed some modest improvement, which eased concerns about a double-dip recession. Nonetheless, the general consensus is that the economy will remain sluggish due to the serious issues facing our country, such as high unemployment and the large federal deficit.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Investors had strong appetites for stocks of companies showing good growth in the weak economy. As a result, the fastest-growing companies in the Fund were generally our best performers. This appreciation for growth also helps explain the strong performance of the international portion of the portfolio.* Small companies in the United States generate approximately 80% of their revenues domestically. Given the subdued outlook for the economy, it makes sense that investors would look overseas for growth, particularly in emerging countries.

During the quarter, one of our best-performing stocks was Abcam plc (United Kingdom). Abcam is an online supplier of antibodies used by medical researchers to study protein function in cells. Known as the “Amazon of antibodies,” the company reported a 25% increase in revenues and a 44% increase in earnings for its fiscal year ended June 30. We have been trimming our weight based on the stock’s valuation and expectations that revenue growth trends may begin to slow.

Other top performers included IPG Photonics Corp. and ArcSight, Inc. IPG Photonics makes fiber lasers that are used in a broad range of industrial applications. The company reported better-than-expected operating results and guidance in August, and the shares took off. Revenue growth was particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific region, with China accounting for more than 10% of total sales. ArcSight, a maker of security software, announced that it was being acquired by Hewlett-Packard.**

On the other hand, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Inc., a specialty beverage company, was one of our worst-performing holdings. The stock gave back some of its gains from earlier in 2010 on speculation that Peet’s might be losing market share in the grocery channel. Rising coffee prices were another negative, although management announced a price increase in late September to offset the impact of coffee inflation. The recent weakness in the stock has not changed our thinking

on Peet’s. We believe it is a well-managed company with good headroom for growth, particularly in the grocery channel where it can expand distribution.

The fact that micro cap stocks trailed bigger small caps this quarter was a headwind for the Fund given our emphasis on the micro cap segment of the market. We think one of the main reasons micro caps underperformed is that growth trends have been better for the larger companies. Part of this is due to the slow pace of initial public offerings (IPOs) over the past several years — there have not been a lot of exciting new micro cap names coming to market to refresh the space. However, IPO activity is picking up in the United States and around the world. We are watching the new entrants carefully and have participated in several IPOs as we continue to increase the growth profile of the portfolio. For example, we bought RealPage, Inc., a rapidly growing software company, when it went public in August.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Our international holdings were a key driver of returns during the 12 months ended September 30, gaining more than 40% overall.* In addition to Abcam, Goodpack Ltd. (Singapore) was one of our best-performing stocks. Goodpack, a container leasing company, has benefited from the rebound in global trade following the credit crisis. Our health care stocks also did well as a group, despite the uncertain regulatory environment.

The Fund’s focus on micro cap stocks weighed on results, as did a handful of names in the consumer staples and energy sectors. GMX Resources, Inc., an oil and gas producer, was one of our biggest laggards. We sold the stock in June because of the company’s deteriorating fundamentals.

OUTLOOK

As previously noted, the consensus view is that the U.S. economy will struggle to grow at a normal rate for a number of years. So we are continuing to look for rapidly growing companies like RealPage that should be able to thrive even in challenging times. We have incrementally been tilting the portfolio toward these types of companies for a while, and doing so has positively impacted performance.

Many of the fastest-growing stocks in the market have premium price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples, which is typical of an environment where growth is hard to come by. We are thus closely monitoring our high-growth holdings to ensure that their stocks prices are reasonable relative to their long-term prospects. Furthermore, a significant percentage of the Fund is invested in moderate growth and value-oriented names. These companies may lack the revenue momentum of our fastest growers, but they are solid businesses trading at good values. That said, when it comes to adding new stocks to the portfolio, we are maintaining our focus on growth.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

In the third quarter, the U.S. equity markets continued on a volatile path. In a welcome change, though, their overall direction shifted upward. At many points throughout the period, the equity indices swung up rapidly, then shot downward nearly as quickly. The precise factors driving these movements were often difficult to discern. For the quarter, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund gained 7.21%. This placed it

behind its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 11.29% over the same period.

The underperformance was partially the result of our focus on micro cap stocks, which over the quarter underperformed stocks on the larger end of the small cap spectrum. In addition, our cash position hurt performance in a period of positive equity returns. Although we are working to deploy these assets, the significant volatility among micro cap stocks makes it essential for us to wait until we can buy the companies we like at reasonable entry points.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Over the past quarter, a number of our holdings were hurt by speculation about and anticipation of government action that could have negative impact on their operations. For example, Lincoln Educational Services Corp., a for-profit provider of higher education, was the greatest detractor from performance for the period. It suffered, along with the rest of the for-profit education space, from fears that the Department of Education’s proposed “gainful employment” rules could reduce their eligibility for federal student loan programs. Students taking out those loans are responsible for the bulk of Lincoln’s revenues. We’ll be monitoring Lincoln, and the entire segment, carefully in coming months.

The potential for another government action — in this case, imposing a moratorium on home foreclosures —bruised another of our holdings, DJSP Enterprises, Inc. DJSP helps mortgage-issuing banks that are now overloaded with foreclosures by providing a specialized legal team to handle loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosure sales. Although a temporary halt to home foreclosures could interrupt DJSP’s business activity, there is already a significant inventory of bank-owned properties that must eventually be sold. In the meantime, however, even the possibility of a moratorium on foreclosures has been enough to dim investors’ interest in DJSP.

In the case of LHC Group, Inc., a provider of home health care services, the reason for its stock price decline was worry that health care reform, with its focus on cost-cutting, could hurt LHC Group’s earnings by reducing reimbursement rates paid to providers by government insurance programs.

Although we are concerned about this government headwind, we can’t lose sight of the many companies we’ve been

able to identify that have performed well despite the myriad challenges presented to them by the economic environment.

Our top contributor to performance for the quarter was Toronto-based easyhome Ltd., which rents furniture, appliances, and home electronics to consumers. The company is growing not only through its main rent-to-own home goods business, but also through the addition of in-store kiosks offering consumer loans. These stores-in-a-store have been tested in a number of markets, and after their success, they are now set for a chain-wide rollout. The loans offered are available to borrowers with a variety of credit profiles, making them attractive at a time when many consumers feel pinched, while also offering high margins to the lender.

Another consumer company that has done well despite pressures on discretionary spending is Germany’s Delticom AG, an online discount tire retailer that operates abroad as well as in the U.S. Although buying tires online may not seem entirely convenient, in a number of markets outside the U.S. it offers virtually the only means to purchase tires without paying the high markup traditionally charged by car dealerships. Delticom is now the largest tire dealer in Europe, and the second largest in the U.S. Although the company is maturing into the higher end of micro cap territory, it still offers good growth potential. Its valuation remains reasonable, but it’s not as low as it once was.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund returned 13.26%, keeping closely on track with the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 13.35% over the same period. Our top contributor for the year was Sino Biopharmaceutical Ltd. (China). This company benefits from the rise of the Chinese consumer class by providing traditional medicines and more modern brand name drugs to that market.

The challenges at Lincoln Educational Services were sufficient to make it one of the largest detractors from performance for the year. Gas exploration and production company GMX Resources, Inc. was also among our weaker performers over the past 12 months, hurt by oversupply concerns in the natural gas industry. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

At this point, it appears possible that there will be at least a partial change in leadership in the U.S. Congress. That could change the regulatory tone in Washington and in states across the country, perhaps alleviating some of the headwind now facing many companies and industries.

We’ll keep a careful eye on these developments as we look for opportunities to invest some of our cash. Right now, companies offering growth are generally pricey. We’re willing to exercise patience until we can buy selected companies at valuations that leave plenty of room for appreciation.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund gained 15.33% in the third quarter. The Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which rose 12.83%, and the Russell 2000 Index, which increased 11.29%. The small cap market was down slightly from July through August, as pessimism about the economy overshadowed better-than-expected corporate earnings. However, the market rallied in September on some

encouraging economic data that eased concerns about a double-dip recession.

During the quarter, investors favored stocks of companies showing strong growth in the challenging economic environment. This benefited the Fund given the positive trends in revenues and earnings that we are seeing from many of our companies. Investors’ appetite for growth was particularly evident in the information technology portion of the portfolio, which was the main driver of our strong results. We are also finding a lot of growth outside the United States, and our international holdings produced an even bigger gain than our domestic holdings.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Some of the Fund’s best-performing stocks this quarter were stocks of companies related to “cloud computing” — computing in which products and services are provided over the Internet. They included Riverbed Technology, Inc. and F5 Networks, Inc., two companies that enable cloud computing. Riverbed is a leader in the wide area network (WAN) optimization market, while F5 Networks provides solutions that improve the performance of delivering Internet services. Ultimate Software Group, Inc., NetSuite, Inc. and Concur Technologies, Inc., which deliver software over the Internet or “cloud,” also had an especially good quarter. ArcSight, Inc. was another big winner in information technology. The company, a maker of security software, announced that it was being acquired by Hewlett-Packard.* The acquisition enhances Hewlett-Packard’s portfolio of security offerings at a time when increasing amounts of data are moving outside of corporate firewalls and into the cloud.

HDFC Bank Ltd., an Indian bank, was one of our best-performing stocks outside the information technology sector. The company reported strong quarterly operating results, including a 34% increase in earnings and a 40% increase in loans. Unlike many small U.S. banks, which are fighting for survival, HDFC is focused on growth and opportunity. At 1.1 billion, India’s population is more than three times greater than ours, yet Indian consumers buy just a fraction of the number of cars that Americans purchase each year. Mortgage debt represents only about 7% of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) but approximately 80% of U.S. GDP. These statistics highlight the untapped

market potential for financial services in India, where the economy is robust and incomes are rising.

VistaPrint N.V. and Resources Connection, Inc. are two stocks that lagged. VistaPrint uses the Internet to provide small businesses with a wide range of marketing products and services, such as brochures and logo design. Many small businesses are struggling in the weak economy, and the soft spending environment has been a headwind for the company. VistaPrint has also experienced a few operational missteps, including an advertising campaign that yielded disappointing results. Resources Connection is a staffing firm that provides high-level accounting and finance professionals on a temporary basis. With the recovery so fragile, corporations have been hesitant to move forward with projects. This has hurt the entire staffing industry. Despite recent weakness, we think VistaPrint and Resources Connection are both high-quality names with good business models, and our long-term outlook on them remains positive. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Investors have been seeking growth for a while, so some of the same factors that drove performance in the third quarter also impacted the Fund during the last 12 months. Our information technology holdings did particularly well overall, led by strong gains from F5 Networks, Riverbed Technology and Ultimate Software Group. Other top performers included companies that are benefiting from favorable growth trends outside the United States, such as HDFC Bank and Bucyrus International, Inc., a manufacturer of mining equipment. On the negative side, business services stocks like Resources Connection tended to be weak. In addition, government reform of the health care sector weighed on many of our health care names.

OUTLOOK

We believe the serious issues facing the United States, including high unemployment and unprecedented levels of U.S. debt, will lead to a period of below-average growth for our economy. We also believe investors will reward companies producing real growth in an environment where growth is hard to come by. Our thoughts on this subject have been consistent for some time, and we think this is a long-run theme we may be talking about for years.

Given this view of the world, we are focused on capturing solid growth in the Fund. We are out in the field, researching new ideas and looking for growth wherever we can find it. Our goal is to identify quality companies that can increase their earnings by at least 15% annually over a five-year horizon. Our forecasts suggest that we are not only meeting this goal, but exceeding it, as the long-run projected growth rate for our companies is north of 20%. The level of growth we are seeing in the Fund makes us confident that it is well positioned for the future.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Jim Larkins, MBA Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The U.S. stock market overcame a litany of investor concerns to finish the third quarter with a surprisingly strong return. Still, a look past the returns of the broad market indices reveals that a relatively small group of richly valued growth stocks drove the bulk of the gain. Conversely, investors showed little appreciation for the types of stocks in which we invest — those with robust cash flows, strong balance sheets, and

attractive valuations. As would be expected, this environment dampened the Fund’s relative performance for the quarter.

It should come as no surprise that our response was to maintain the same value discipline that has worked so well for us over time. Experience has taught us that sticking to our process, regardless of short-term market activity, is the best way to maintain a steady course for the Fund.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The information technology sector was an area in which our value-oriented approach experienced underperformance. While no individual tech stock stood out as a significant underperformer, a handful of individual positions suffered losses in the low- to mid-teens. The largest area of weakness was the semiconductors and components group, where notable laggards were Standard Microsystems Corp. and Pericom Semiconductor Corp.

In terms of what worked, two of our top contributors were former “Fallen Angels” — our term for one-time growth stocks that have stumbled but have a clear path to resuming their growth. The first was a longtime holding that we have discussed quite a bit in past communications — natural foods company NBTY, Inc. When NBTY experienced difficulties in 2008, our due diligence showed that the company continued to feature strong cash flows, a compelling valuation, and the ability to benefit from the longer-term growth trends in vitamins and natural foods. During the quarter, private equity firm The Carlyle Group acquired NBTY.

OPNET Technologies, Inc., whose software provides corporations with a high return on investment by making networks more efficient, is another former Fallen Angel that energized our performance. We bought low in early 2009 when OPNET’s shares were under pressure from the broad market selloff, and the stock has since staged a powerful rebound.

We also generated strong returns from a number of the Fund’s “Undiscovered Gems” — the phrase we use to describe companies whose current valuations do not reflect what we believe is their true value. In some cases, this is due to a lack of coverage from major Wall Street firms. A prime example is CorVel Corp., a stock with no analyst coverage that Wasatch has owned on and off for 15 years. CorVel, a provider of services that help companies lower the cost of workmen’s compensation claims, reported robust growth in revenues and earnings — a development we anticipated. The

stock responded favorably as investors tried to play “catch-up” with the improving fundamental story.

Our positions in non-U.S. stocks also continued to add value for the Fund. The past quarter saw strong performance from our Indian financial stocks LIC Housing Finance Ltd. and City Union Bank Ltd., as well as from Goodpack Ltd., a Singapore-based company that operates the world’s largest fleet of medium-sized containers used to transport specialty cargo. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

The Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund returned 12.00% during the annual period and outpaced the 11.84% return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. We are gratified that the Fund outperformed even though the types of stocks in which we invest were out of favor for much of the year. We view this as evidence that it pays to focus on value and bottom-up stock picking, rather than trying to keep up with short-term market moves by chasing the winners.

OUTLOOK

Self-reflection helps us analyze our successes and mistakes to determine what’s working and what we can do better. Our most recent effort in this vein involved a rigorous analysis of the Small Cap Value strategy’s 12-year history. What we found was not particularly surprising, but it helps illustrate some of the factors that have driven our returns.

Since the Fund’s inception, the most important factor underlying our performance has been — by a substantial margin — our investments in Fallen Angels. As a “value manager within a growth shop,” we are well positioned to leverage the firm’s knowledge to capitalize on the frequent occasions when growth companies stumble and slip into our value universe.

We also have added quite a bit of value over the years via our investments in Undiscovered Gems. This universe has proven to be fertile ground for successful investments, since thin coverage on a stock enables those with an informational advantage to capitalize on inefficiencies. We believe our strong research capabilities provide such an advantage.

Taken together, these two strategies have accounted for the vast majority of our winners in the past 12 years. Notably, almost all of these top performers were stocks that at one time were held in Wasatch growth portfolios — illustrating the value of sharing ideas among our various investment teams.

Self-reflection is a continual process at Wasatch, where the opportunity to learn from the past helps us set a clear path for the future. We believe this approach provides us with the best chance to translate our research expertise into continued long-term performance.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH STRATEGIC INCOME FUND (WASIX)Management Discussion   SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
 
 

 

The Wasatch Strategic Income Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Sam Stewart.

 

LOGO

 

Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The S&P 500 had its best September in 71 years, leading to an 11.29% gain for the quarter. The Strategic Income Fund’s 10.70% third quarter return nearly matched the S&P 500, and far outpaced the 2.48% return of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

We continue to see significant swings in the equity markets as investors react to the news of the day. The market has become momentum driven, with companies that are doing really well

getting the attention, while strong companies not quite firing on all cylinders are being overlooked.

The Wasatch Strategic Income Fund does not follow a momentum-driven investment mandate. My goal is to deliver long-term returns between those of stocks and bonds, while taking less risk than a typical equity fund. I continue to focus on what I consider to be high quality companies that are able and willing to pay growing dividends. These companies tend to be stable with healthy balance sheets and consistent cash flow, making them well positioned in the current economy. The Fund’s current subsidized SEC 30-day yield is 3.35% (2.50% unsubsidized), which is healthy in an environment brandishing yields on cash and bonds near historic lows. Dividends are good tools to help lessen downside risk in the Fund.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

One positive indication that the Fund may be reducing its susceptibility to downside risk is that there were no significant stock declines during the quarter. The Fund’s largest detractor was Ultra Petroleum Corp., which slid 5%. Lower natural gas prices hurt the company slightly. However, Ultra Petroleum remains nicely profitable and has a competitive advantage as a low-cost operator in natural gas exploration and production.

Several stocks performed well, led by Herbalife Ltd., a provider of weight-loss and nutritional supplements. Herbalife has shifted from traditional multi-level marketing, where customers order monthly from distributors, to more of a retail approach emphasizing daily consumption. Advantages to the new model include expanding the market to customers that are not willing to commit to becoming Herbalife distributors but are still interested in purchasing the company’s products. The stock price was up dramatically over the past year and the company pays a solid, growing dividend.

Wirecard AG also appreciated nicely. Wirecard, a German-based international provider of electronic payment options, continues to capitalize on the personal credit megatrend. I initiated a position earlier this year after the stock price declined based on what I perceived to be a short-term concern. Wirecard’s stock moved up 59% this past quarter.

In my focus on owning high quality companies, capturing yield, and managing risk I sold a couple of companies that were not paying dividends, and took profits on others as their stock prices moved up. In doing so, the Fund’s cash position went from 3.1% to 7.3% in the quarter.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Over the last 12 months, the Fund returned 15.18% and outpaced stocks and bonds by a significant margin. Despite being happy about delivering a solid return for the Fund’s shareholders, I am grappling with my belief that the Fund may still be taking on too much risk if it is able to deliver outsized returns. As the year went on, I believe the Fund became more conservative. However, as other investors also began seeking higher quality companies, the stock prices of many of the Fund’s holdings continued to move higher.

We outperformed in the financials sector, where the Fund is substantially overweight relative to the S&P 500, thanks to companies like Ares Capital Corp., a private equity firm, which was up 57% this year due to fundamental company strength and a high dividend yield.

The industrials sector was the biggest detractor for the Fund compared to the S&P 500. Although our holdings in this sector performed well, it was underweight relative to the Index because companies in this sector generally do not offer the characteristics I seek for this Fund.

OUTLOOK

I think we will likely continue to see the equity markets seesaw due to the shortsightedness of many investors. Overall, I expect the market to muddle through the year ahead as we tackle the large economic challenges of reduced credit, high unemployment, and increased government debt and regulation.

I plan to stay focused on high quality companies with the ability and willingness to provide growing dividends. Currently, I believe blue chip stocks are among the most attractive investment opportunities, as many investors are overlooking them. Blue chips are stable, high quality companies trading at low valuations and providing attractive yields.

I will continue to seek a lower beta for the Fund, but I am not ready to add fixed-income securities in any significant way. While many investors continue to flee to the perceived safety of bonds, chasing ever-diminishing yields, I believe that fixed income products have become overly popular. With little room left for interest rates to fall there is a good chance of future price depreciation for bonds, which may well overshadow the small interest earned.

Overall, the Fund has had a nice evolution this year and I believe that it remains well positioned for the current economic environment.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

In the year’s third quarter, the U.S. equity markets remained turbulent, with major market indices frequently posting towering gains or steep losses, often for barely discernible reasons. Despite the strong returns recorded over the period, the market still seemed directionless
in many ways, with no strong theme driving performance. Over the three months, the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund returned 17.65%, solidly outpacing the

Russell 2000 Growth Index, which posted a 12.83% return for the third quarter.

Once again, our companies posted earnings growth that was stronger than we expected, and well ahead of the benchmark. Earnings growth remained somewhat difficult to find in the tepid economic environment, so companies that could produce it often posted healthy price-to-earnings ratios. Our investment approach remained consistent, even in the face of frequent market volatility. We kept our attention on identifying companies with hearty fundamentals and distinctive business themes.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Among the themes that have been shaping our investing over recent periods has been our view that, even as consumer spending remains weak, corporate spending appears to be on a more solid footing. After years of cautious spending, corporate cash balances have risen to record levels. That cash, along with the desire to improve their businesses’ return on investment, has given many companies the impetus to spend money upgrading their systems.

A number of our top contributors in the period reflected this theme, particularly within the information technology (IT) sector, which was our strongest area over the quarter. Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., a longtime holding and long-term leading performer, had significant impact on the Fund’s performance for the third quarter. This IT outsourcing company is enjoying gains as companies invest in new tools to improve efficiency, and contract with consultants to help implement them. After such a long run of success, we are evaluating whether to trim our position.

Fellow top-five contributors in information technology included Riverbed Technology, Inc. and F5 Networks, Inc. Both companies are achieving strong earnings growth as corporations reinforce their IT infrastructure in an era increasingly defined by cloud-based computing and the heavier network traffic it involves.

With so much cash sitting on corporate balance sheets, we haven’t been surprised to see an uptick in corporate acquisition activity. The Fund has benefited from this trend, most recently through the acquisition of ArcSight, Inc. by computing giant Hewlett-Packard.* While we don’t select stocks based on a belief that they may be acquisition targets, the same qualities that attract us to a company can draw corporate suitors as well.

Although we have more faith in corporate expenditures than in consumer spending, we have been able to identify some companies that are doing well in the consumer discretionary area. One of these is a recent addition to the portfolio, value-oriented retailer Gordmans Stores, Inc. Gordmans focuses on offering brand-name fashions at discounted prices. It’s clear that consumers are still wary of overspending, but the worst of the job losses appears to be behind us, and those who have ridden this crisis out may be somewhat more willing to open their wallets for items they perceive to offer good value.

Our greatest detractor from performance over the quarter came from the health care sector, an area of the market that is facing considerable uncertainty from new health care reform provisions. ICON plc (Ireland), a provider of pharmaceutical development services, has been hit in recent months by concerns that drug companies under increasing price pressure may begin to slow their research and development efforts, reducing demand for ICON’s services. We believe this is probably just a temporary concern. Further, we’re encouraged by the fact that much of ICON’s business comes from outside the U.S. market.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund returned 26.44%, placing it well ahead of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 14.79% over the same period. F5 Networks, Cognizant Technology, and Riverbed Technology were also among our top contributors to performance for the one-year period. Interestingly, another technology stock, Silicon Laboratories, Inc., was our greatest detractor from performance. The company, along with many of its competitors, was hit by concerns that inventory levels in the semiconductor industry are uncomfortably high. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

Even after some recent healthy spending, corporate balance sheets are still carrying huge levels of cash. We anticipate that the technology sector will continue to be one of the primary beneficiaries of renewed capital spending, though the pace could slow somewhat. Corporate acquisition activity should also remain an important factor in the equity markets.

In coming weeks, it will be interesting to see how the midterm elections in the U.S. play out. Should there be a change in control of the House or Senate, it could provide a catalyst for the market as many might expect this could lead to a looser regulatory environment going forward. That sentiment alone could drive the market, even if little actual change ultimately results.

Earnings growth continues to be highly valued in the equity markets. As a result, companies offering it — including a number of our holdings — have seen their prices move up substantially. We are keeping a careful eye on valuations, and are prepared to modify positions as we believe appropriate.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

Strong stock market performance in the quarter was reassuring following the second quarter’s correction, which was spurred partly by fears of a double dip recession. We believed such

talk was premature, as it overlooked the continued improvements in economic data. That said, we sympathize with the view that the recovery will be relatively weak, as a result of debt overhang and excessive government intervention.

Robust mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity contributed to the market’s positive tone in the quarter, as companies have been willing to pay significant premiums for strategic acquisitions. We believe this is an indication that valuations are inexpensive. We are also pleased to see M&A activity driven by public companies as strategic buyers, rather than leveraged private equity buyers.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The largest contributor to the quarter’s performance was Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, Inc. The Canada-based producer of fertilizer was the subject of a takeover offer. We eliminated the position as a takeover battle emerged. Agriculture-related stocks benefited during the quarter as the drought in Russia drove wheat prices higher. Our holdings of food products giant Archer Daniels Midland Co. and agricultural machinery manufacturer Deere & Co. benefited from increased interest in agriculture stocks. We will continue to seek exposure to the “global demand for food” theme.

We added to our holdings of Canadian mining stocks Cameco Corp. and Barrick Gold Corp. We think companies with tangible assets in the ground represent good value, and this is also a theme we expect to pursue.

The rebound of stocks impacted by the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico helped the Fund’s results in the quarter. In particular, Transocean Ltd., builder of the rig that collapsed, and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which owned 25% of the affected well.

Besides Potash, we eliminated two other holdings. Waste management firm Republic Services, Inc. was sold when it met our price target. Aerospace and building giant United Technologies Corp. was sold as part of an effort to trim our significant exposure to the industrials sector. We added retailer Best Buy Co., Inc. based on its attractive valuation.

The quarter’s biggest disappointment was the collapse in valuation experienced by some of our large cap technology names. Hewlett-Packard Co. and Intel Corp. suffered from capital allocation concerns as both companies engaged in acquisitions outside their core businesses. In addition,

HP was impacted by management turmoil, while Intel as a leading chip provider to notebook computer manufacturers has been viewed as vulnerable to Apple’s iPad. Both HP and Intel have powerful global franchises, and we believe they are attractively valued. Accordingly, we added to Intel on weakness while maintaining our HP exposure.

Another detractor was McKesson Corp., a dominant provider of medical supplies and pharmaceutical products. We continue to hold the stock, as we like the hidden value of McKesson’s information technology group.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2010, the Fund provided a positive return but lagged the Russell 1000 Value Index. Contributions to performance came from the agriculture theme, as well as chemical products producer E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., electrical and machinery firms Emerson Electric Co. and Parker Hannifin Corp., and secure radio systems developer Harris Corp. Increasing demand from emerging markets is a long-term trend that has benefited industrial companies. Stocks with consumer staples characteristics such as Waste Management, Inc., food products distributor Sysco Corp. and H. J. Heinz Co. also performed well.

On the downside, exposure to the Gulf accident via Transocean and Anadarko detracted significantly, despite their rebound during the third quarter of 2010. The long-term outlook for the energy sector is supported by strong supply and demand fundamentals. Food distributor SUPERVALU, Inc. was hurt by aggressive competition from giant retailer Wal-Mart, which the Fund also holds. Finally, Nokia Corp. has been hurt by the success of Apple’s iPhone. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

Structural headwinds remain in place, as the necessity of reducing debt across the economy will hinder growth and job creation for some time. At the same time, stocks seem attractively valued, assuming any sort of normal economic backdrop. In fact, stocks are as inexpensive as they have been since 1998, with many companies in a variety of sectors selling at P/E ratios of between 8 and 12.

The midterm election debates have highlighted our economic shortcomings, and could be the first step toward better policies. In our opinion, overindulgent government regulation is weighing on the economy, causing some company managements to hesitate in executing growth plans. It is possible that we will emerge from this election cycle with more positive growth-oriented policies that would help improve investor psychology.

For the Fund, we continue to emphasize strong dividend yields, attractive valuations and earnings growth potential. Our goal remains to invest in companies with the potential to do well for shareholders during bull markets, but with defensive characteristics that may allow them to hold up well during bear markets.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

After the second quarter correction, strong stock market performance in the third was reassuring. We expected the current economic recovery to be relatively weak by historical standards.

Still, we believed that talk of a double dip recession overlooked improvements in economic data in the U.S. and around the world. As we expected, final demand has remained weak, due to high unemployment and consumers’ efforts to reduce debt.

The Fund captured 70% of the upside during the quarter. The environment for shorting was difficult, as investors willing to pay high prices for growth supported areas of the market we perceived as overvalued.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The Fund’s long positions generally worked well, in particular, some major positions in electronic commerce companies within the information technology space. Examples include Oracle Corp., TIBCO Software, Inc. and eBay, Inc. We also added new ecommerce positions during the quarter that contributed to performance, specifically Amazon.com, Inc. and network solutions provider Blue Coat Systems, Inc.

Increased positions in offshore drillers Ensco plc and Noble Corp. bounced back as the Gulf oil spill receded as an issue. Some of these gains were offset by covered calls as we intentionally mitigated the larger position sizes we built in these companies.

Two other new long positions that helped were retailer Best Buy Co., Inc. and storage solutions provider Iron Mountain, Inc. While both companies display modest growth compared with their history, they have strong balance sheets and now offer the opportunity for increased shareholder returns through dividends and share buybacks.

Long positions in medical technology companies hurt performance, principally, Medtronic, Inc. and Symmetry Medical, Inc. Lower numbers of patient procedures weighed down these companies’ results, reflecting the state of the economy and uncertainty regarding new health care guidelines. We believe they still have attractive products and business models, and we added to or maintained our positions.

The Fund’s short positions collectively did not add value for the quarter. We continue to have a lower-than-normal allocation to the short component of the portfolio given our view that most areas of the market still seem reasonably valued. In our judgment, investors “paying up” for increasingly scarce growth or yield are supporting pockets of overvalued stocks. In particular, the real estate investment trusts (REITs) space

was challenging, although we covered a short position in Duke Realty Corp. with a gain. We believe commercial real estate is overvalued in the public equity market relative to the private market. Moreover, real estate is much more highly valued based on cash flow and earnings than other dividend-paying segments of the equity market. We also covered some technology shorts with losses when our short cover disciplines were invoked due to stock price breakouts.

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Over the past 12 months, the Fund’s short positions detracted from performance, in particular our shorting of REITs. Among long positions, the Gulf oil spill had a severe impact on offshore drilling companies, including Transocean Ltd., builder of the rig that collapsed. We expect that the tangible assets, global scope of business activity and backlog of earnings power represented by the leading offshore drillers provide the potential to be rewarded over time.

On the positive side, our early identification of the cloud-computing theme within technology contributed significantly. Cloud computing utilizes the Internet to provide on-demand access to services and data storage. Top performers under this theme during the year were Akamai Technologies, Inc., TIBCO and Silicon Graphics International Corp. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

While the Fund lagged the S&P 500 for the year, it is important to note that we have intentionally used covered calls and cash to preserve shareholders’ capital. While this capped some of the upside, we are willing to lag the S&P in some quarters if we can steadily compound capital over time. We believe the Fund’s absolute and relative performance since inception validates this approach.

OUTLOOK

We believe stocks are attractively valued overall, and expect to maintain a net long position, with a focus on what we consider to be high quality business models, good balance sheets and low valuations. This core position will be supplemented by ecommerce and energy services holdings, as well as continued use of covered calls, cash and selective short positions in an effort to preserve capital.

We believe the economic recovery is real and that a double dip recession is unlikely. At the same time, it will not be driven by traditional inputs of pent-up demand for housing and autos, as we work through the poor decisions of the past decade. Unemployment is likely to remain high and housing prices are unlikely to recover much, if at all. Consumers still have the means to purchase necessary items or those offering good value. Likewise, most businesses can and will continue to spend on necessary items or those that improve efficiency. Viewing the market through this lens, we expect to maintain our focus on the energy, insurance, consumer staples, technology software and networking, and health care groups.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

Despite extreme economic intervention by federal authorities, real gross domestic product (GDP) has increased by a paltry 3% since the recession ended in June 2009, less than half the 6.6% average growth in the comparable periods of the prior 10 recoveries.

Inventory investment, a trendless component of GDP, has accounted for nearly two-thirds of the entire rebound in economic activity from the worst

economic contraction since World War II. Over the past four quarters, inventory investment has moved from contracting real GDP at a 5% annual rate to boosting it at a 2% annual rate. Real final sales (GDP less inventory investment) grew at a meager pace of 1.1%, less than one-fourth the average 4.5% rate of increase in the comparable rebounds. Whether measured by GDP or final sales, economic growth needs to expand at least at the pace of population growth to sustain a steady standard of living. In this rebound, per capita real final sales grew by 0.2%, much lower than the earlier 10 postwar expansions when growth in real per capita sales was a robust 3.2%. Thus, the U.S. standard of living has remained stagnant at a depressed level. We believe the upward inventory thrust is complete and probably over-extended.

Some of the lowest inflation rates in the past four to six decades reflected these depressed conditions. Consequently, for the latest quarter and past 12 months, a drop in yields on long-term Treasury bonds (maturities longer than 20 years) meant that the market value of the Fund increased, enhancing the coupon (interest) on the Treasury bonds held by the Fund.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

For the quarter, the Fund returned 5.72%, versus 2.48% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Over the quarter, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond dropped to 3.68% from 3.88%, resulting in capital gains on the long dated Treasury securities held by the Fund. Year-to-date the Fund was up 24.45% compared with 7.94% for the Barclays and 3.89% for the S&P 500.*

DETAILS OF THE YEAR

Over the past 12 months, the Fund gained 12.65% compared to a gain of 8.16% for the Barclays, and 10.16% for the S&P 500. Over the past year, the long Treasury bond yield decreased 0.37 percentage points. The Fund’s results have exceeded the Barclays by 1.94 and 2.42 percentage points, respectively, for the past five- and 10-year periods. Additionally, the Fund has outperformed the S&P 500 by 7.5 and 9.26 percentage points over the same time periods.

OUTLOOK

Going forward, the only hope for economic growth is proper monetary and fiscal policy. Unfortunately, monetary and fiscal policy has yet to contribute to sustainable growth.

The greatest probability is that new monetary and fiscal policies will not prove any more successful than prior ones. Instead, unintended consequences are likely to negatively impact economic output. Thus, our view is that economic conditions will remain depressed, with a greater than 50% probability of a relapse to negative growth. Moreover, policy makers are proposing actions that have never been tested, complicated by the fact that current economic circumstances have not existed for eight decades.

The problem with the U.S. economy appears to us to be fourfold: 1) The economy is grossly over-indebted, with many asset prices falling; 2) fiscal policy is counter-productive and debilitating to economic growth as government expenditure multipliers are near zero; 3) proposed tax increases are already curtailing economic activity and tax multipliers approach -3%; and 4) increased bureaucracy with many new and yet unwritten financial regulations from the Dodd-Frank bill, along with health care regulations, make business planning nearly impossible.

A number of articles have surfaced emphasizing the theme that the Treasury bond market is in a bubble, implying that yields are so low they can only go higher, with the result of substantial capital loss to those owning Treasury paper. It is true that psychology drives markets in the short run making anything possible, so interest rates may rise or fall, regardless of long-term fundamentals. Based on the Fisher equation (the long risk-free yield equals the real rate on long Treasury bonds plus the expected rate of inflation), Treasury bonds are not in a bubble.

The real rate on long Treasury bonds is volatile and not predictable over the short-run. However, it has averaged 2.1% over the long run and is mean reverting. Over time, long Treasury bond yields move in the direction of inflationary expectations. Inflationary expectations lag actual inflation by a considerable period of time, sometimes more than several years. In addition, inflation is a lagging indicator. If the low point in inflation is well down the road, as cyclical analysis would suggest, then the low in bond yields lies ahead. Long Treasuries thus have substantial fundamental or intrinsic value and do not meet the criteria of an asset in a bubble.

Currently, inflation is tracking at a 1% annual rate and long-term Treasury bond yields are around 3.7%. Thus, the real yield is 2.7%, or 0.6 percentage points above the 140-year mean. Thus, investors are still able to purchase long-term Treasury securities at prices not yet reflecting their positive long-run potential.

We appreciate your investment in the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund.

WASATCH-1ST SOURCE INCOME FUND (FMEQX)Management Discussion   SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

Paul W. Gifford, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund returned 1.82% during the third quarter of 2010. Over the same time period, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returned 2.75%. Spreads versus U.S. Treasury securities on almost all corporate, agency and asset or mortgage-backed securities came in (tightened) providing additional return to the Fund.

Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds ranged between 2.45% and 3.15% during the quarter. By quarter-end, the yield was at the low end of that range at 2.51%, the lowest since the financial crisis began to ease in March of 2009.

The Federal Reserve’s program of buying government bonds ended earlier this year and many thought that in the coming years the Fed would unwind its purchases made in 2008 and 2009. That sentiment changed in the third quarter as economic data pointed to a weaker recovery. Instead, the Fed announced plans to reinvest the interest and principal of the bonds owned back into the Treasury market. This helped push interest rates lower.

The Fed funds rate has been near zero since the end of 2008. The move to zero occurred amidst financial turmoil and economic collapse. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently commented on the “unusual uncertain- ties” the economy is dealing with. As a result, the Fed is going to keep short-term interest rates low for much longer than we and many bond market participants had forecasted just six to eight months ago.

A PROFITABLE QUARTER

One of the consequences of the Federal Reserve’s strategy of keeping rates low for an extended period of time is that investors will be forced into assets other than cash. Low short-term rates have helped flood the bond market with hundreds of billions of dollars. Over $500 billion has flowed into bond funds since the beginning of 2009, while stock funds have seen net redemptions. This difference is opposite of historical flows, where stock funds used to garner the most assets.

Investors’ search for yield has benefited virtually every sector of the bond market, including even the riskiest fixed income assets, such as junk bonds and securities backed by subprime mortgages, that were eschewed just 18 months ago. Bond yields have plummeted due to increased demand. Bonds with longer maturities and higher yields have become more in favor, as noted above in our comments on 10-year Treasuries.

Given that the Fed has put raising interest rates on hold, we have taken opportunities to buy securities with slightly longer maturities and higher yields. We feel comfortable that the benefit of improved yields will not be offset by a significant increase in interest rates any time soon. Since most trades to extend maturities were to sell an entity’s short- maturity security and buy the same entity’s longer maturity

security, while not changing the Fund’s overall credit and sector mix. The net effect of our buying and selling was a modest increase in the Fund’s effective duration or interest rate risk.

Examples of trades made during the quarter included selling Pfizer bonds maturing in 2015 and buying Pharmacia bonds maturing in 2018 for a yield improvement of 1.25 percentage points. (Pfizer Inc. bought Pharmacia Corp. in 2003.) We also sold a credit card asset-backed bond with a one-year maturity and bought another bond with a four-year maturity to enhance yield by 1.80 percentage points.

One area of the investment grade bond market that is starting to see relative weakness is the mortgage segment. As yields have fallen, the prospect of a refinancing wave is limiting the price appreciation of mortgage-backed securities. Fifteen-year mortgage rates fell below 4% during the quarter and 30-year mortgages are in the low 4% range (Source: bankrate.com as of 9/30/10). Historically, this would have been an even bigger event for the bond market, but times have changed. While many borrowers would benefit from lower mortgage rates, fewer are eligible due to reduced income, job loss or a decrease in home value. Therefore, it is likely the refinancing wave will only impact mortgages created since 2008 and prior to 2004 and be much smaller than anticipated. We continue to monitor the prepayment speeds of mortgage-backed securities and have kept our weighting in this area basically unchanged during the quarter.

STRONG YEAR FOR BONDS

The third quarter of 2010 continued the strong performance bonds have put in over the past 12 months. The investment grade bond market has benefited from cash flowing into bond funds, improved spreads and returns that have been higher than the income generated. The Fund has changed modestly versus a year ago. We increased the Fund’s weightings in Treasuries, corporate bonds and government agencies, and reduced exposure to asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.

During the year, the Fund had a conservative bias with a shorter duration and lower exposure to BBB* credits than its benchmark, which hurt relative performance. We believe such a bias is warranted because the structural issues related to reducing debt within the economy will be played out over many years to come.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be a trusted advisor for you.

WASATCH FUNDS MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS  — Definitions of Financial Terms
 
 

 

Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given stock relative to the overall market, usually the S&P 500. Specifically, the performance the stock has experienced in the last five years as the S&P 500 moved up or down one percent. A beta above one is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below one is less volatile.

A bear market is generally defined as a drop of 20% or more in stock prices over at least a two-month period.

A bull market is defined as a prolonged period in which investment prices rise faster than their historical average.

Corporate bonds are debt securities issued by a corporation for the purpose of raising money to expand its business.

Credit Risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security will fail to repay principal and interest on the security when due.

Dividend yield is a company’s annual dividend payments divided by its market capitalization, or the dividend per share divided by the price per share.

Earnings growth is a measure of growth in a company’s net income over a specific period, often one year.

Effective duration is a measure of the responsiveness of a bond’s price to market interest rate changes. For example, if the interest rate increased 1%, a bond with an effective duration of five years would experience a decline in price of 5%.

Government agency bonds are debt securities issued by a U.S. government-sponsored agency.

The government expenditure multiplier captures the impact and the consequences of a change in government spending. When the government expenditure multiplier is zero it means that GDP is unchanged from where it started, but government spending has risen by $1 and private spending has fallen by $1.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is a basic measure of a country’s economic performance and is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.

Inflation Risk is the possibility that inflation will reduce the purchasing power of a currency, and subsequently reduce the value of a security or asset, and may result in rising interest rates. Inflation is the overall upward price movement of goods and services in an economy that causes the value of a currency to decline.

An initial public offering (IPO) is a company’s first sale of stock to the public.

Interest Rate Risk is the risk that a debt security’s value will decline due to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate is the amount charged, expressed as a percentage of principal, by a lender to a borrower for the use of assets.

The price-to-earnings or P/E ratio, also known as the P/E multiple, is the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share.

The S&P 500 Index includes 500 of the United States’ largest stocks from a broad variety of industries. The Index is unmanaged but is a commonly used measure of common stock total return performance.

The 30-day current net SEC yield is the net investment income per share for a 30 day period divided by the maximum offering price per share on the calculation date. The figure is compounded and annualized. The 30-day yield unsubsidized is calculated in the absence of temporary expense waivers or reimbursements thus resulting in a lower yield.

Sovereign debt is government debt. Under the doctrine of sovereign immunity, creditors cannot force the repayment of sovereign debt.

The tax multiplier is the ratio of change in aggregate output (or gross domestic product) to an autonomous change in taxes. A tax multiplier of -2 means that a $1 cut in taxes will boost GDP by $2.

Yield is generally defined as the return an investor will receive by holding a bond to maturity.

WASATCH FUNDS — OPERATING EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)   SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
 
 

 

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of Wasatch Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Wasatch Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended September 30, 2010.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, based upon the actual total return of the fund during the most recent six month period ended September 30. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 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.

In addition, the Funds charge a $15.00 IRA distribution fee, a $12.50 IRA annual maintenance fee and a $15.00 fee for redemptions paid by wire. To the extent these fees apply to your account, your expenses paid during the period would be higher and your ending account value would be lower than the amounts shown in the table below.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses

based on a 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 a Wasatch 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.

In addition, the Funds charge a $15.00 IRA distribution fee, a $12.50 IRA annual maintenance fee and a $15.00 fee for redemptions paid by wire. To the extent these fees apply to your account, your expenses paid during the period would be higher and your ending account value would be lower than the amounts shown in the table below. If another fund’s fees differ from those listed above, your expenses paid and your ending account value could be higher or lower than those 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, such as redemption fees. 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 were included, your costs would have been higher.

A Fund’s annualized expense ratio may vary as a result of various factors including expenses that are not reimbursable under the contractual agreement between the Fund and the Advisor such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs, dividend expense on short sales, and extraordinary expenses. The Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short and Wasatch-1st Source Income funds have no contractual limitation on expenses.

Valuation of Securities — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 15.

Foreign Currency Translations — Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend income are translated into U.S. dollars using the current prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities is reflected as a component of such gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. Transactions in foreign denominated assets may involve greater risks than domestic transactions.

Investment in Securities and Related Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the ex-dividend date based on when the Fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Bond discount and premiums are amortized using the interest method. To the extent dividends received from Real Estate Investment Trust securities include return of capital distributions; such distributions are recorded as income, and adjusted accordingly for tax purposes.

Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders. The Funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon

examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total of amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.

Expenses — The Funds contract for various services on a collective basis. Most expenses are directly attributable to each Fund and therefore are charged accordingly. Expenses that are not directly attributable to one or more Funds are allocated among applicable Funds on an equitable and consistent basis considering such things as the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds.

Use of Management Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Guarantees and Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, however, the risk of loss is expected to be remote.

Redemption Fees — The Funds deduct a fee of 2.00% from redemption proceeds on shares of the Funds held 60 days or less. Redemption fees retained by the Funds are credited to additional paid-in capital.

3. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase and the fund to resell the obligation at an agreed upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be at least equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

Short Sales — The Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, the Strategic Income Fund and to a lesser extent the other Equity Funds may enter into short sales whereby a fund sells a security it generally does not own (the security is borrowed), in anticipation of a decline in the security’s price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of the short liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. If a Fund shorts a security when also holding a long position in the security (a “short against the box”), as the security’s price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position’s decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security’s price rises. A Fund realizes a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the counterparty by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The

Funds are liable to the buyer for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are an expense of the Funds. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions.

4. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Foreign Currency Contracts — The Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts to settle planned purchases or sales of securities or to protect against a possible loss resulting from the adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency involved in an underlying transaction. Foreign currency contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a foreign currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to a credit risk if a counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably. In connection with these contracts, the Funds may segregate cash and/or securities in a sufficient amount as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.

Options Transactions — The Equity Funds and the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may buy and sell put and call options, write covered put and call options, including over-the-counter options, on portfolio securities where the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of another party. Options are a type of derivative financial instrument. The Funds may invest in derivative financial instruments, including options, in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or

markets. The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that a Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. A Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. A Fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of written options.

5. DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for all Funds, except for dividends from net investment income in five funds. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund declares and pays dividends monthly. The Strategic Income, Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity, Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short, and U.S. Treasury Funds declare and pay dividends quarterly. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction (tax equalization).

To the extent these book and tax differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the fiscal year among additional paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss), and undistributed net realized gains (losses) on investments and foreign currency translations.


Accordingly, at September 30, 2010, reclassifications were recorded as follows:

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Fees — As the Fund’s investment advisor, the Advisor receives a monthly fee calculated on average daily net assets. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse a Fund should a Fund’s operating expenses exceed a specified annual limitation through at least January 31, 2012. Ordinary operating expenses exclude any interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. The Wasatch Funds’ Board of Directors determined that the costs of the Proxy Statement related to the identification and shareholder approval of Director Nominees were extraordinary expenses. Investment advisory fees and fees waived, if any, for the year ended September 30, 2010 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Investment advisory fee and expense limitation annual rates are shown below.

Affiliated Trades — Certain Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Funds from or to another fund (or funds) that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, each transaction is effected at the current market price, as that term is defined under the procedures. During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Funds below engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act:

 

     Purchases      Sales  

International Growth Fund

  $ 14,085       $   

Small Cap Value Fund

            50,085   

Strategic Income Fund

    36,000           

Affiliated Interests — An officer of the Funds owns approximately 41% of the shares outstanding of the Strategic Income Fund, as of September 30, 2010.

Payments by Former Service Provider — BISYS Fund Services, Inc. (“BISYS”) is a former service provider to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, and Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund. In August 2010, these funds received a one-time payment from the BISYS Fair Fund (a fund established pursuant to a settlement between the SEC and BISYS that requires, among other things, a distribution of settlement monies from the fair fund to benefit affected mutual funds). Receipt of these payments is shown as a reduction of total expenses on the Statements of Operations. The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights.

These securities are generally deemed to be illiquid and are valued at fair value as determined by a designated Pricing Committee, comprised of personnel of the Advisor, with oversight by the Board of Trustees and in accordance with Board-approved Pricing Policies and Procedures.

In December 2005, the Small Cap Growth and Ultra Growth Funds entered into subscription agreements to acquire limited partnership interests in Greenspring Global Partners III-B, L.P. The remaining commitment amounts at September 30, 2010 were $375,000 per Fund. Securities held by the Funds have been designated to meet these purchase commitments.

13. LINE OF CREDIT

The Equity Funds opened two lines of credit totaling $75,000,000, one of which is $25,000,000 uncommitted, and the other of which is $50,000,000 committed, with State Street Bank and Trust Company on June 4, 2007 (together, the “Line”). The Line is for temporary or emergency purposes such as to provide liquidity for shareholder redemptions. The Equity Funds incur commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the committed part of the Line, and interest expense to the extent of amounts drawn (borrowed) under the entire Line. Interest is based on the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin, and (b) the overnight LIBOR rate as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin. Commitment fees are pro-rated among the Equity Funds based upon relative average net assets. Interest expense is charged directly to the Fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by the Fund.

For the year ended September 30, 2010, the following Funds had borrowings:

14. PRINCIPAL RISKS

Market and Credit Risk — In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Inflation Risk — Inflation risk is the possibility that inflation will reduce the purchasing power of a currency, and subsequently reduce the value of a security or asset, and may result in rising interest rates. Inflation is the overall upward price movement of goods and services in an economy that causes the value of a currency to decline.

Interest Rate Risk — Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values. Interest rate risk should be modest for shorter-term securities, moderate for intermediate-term securities and high for longer-term securities. Generally, an increase in the average maturity of a Fund will make it more sensitive to interest rate risk. The interest rate is the amount charged, expressed as a percentage of principal, by a lender to a borrower for the use of assets.

Foreign Currency Risk — If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. This also includes the risk associated with higher transaction costs, delayed settlements, currency controls and adverse economic developments related to foreign investments.

Region Risk — The Funds invest in equity and fixed income securities of non-U.S. issuers. Although the Funds maintain diversified investment portfolios, political or economic developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an adverse effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.

Shareholder Concentration Risk — A significant portion of the net assets of the International Opportunities Fund is owned by a group of shareholders advised by a common investment advisor. If this group of shareholders simultaneously redeems on the advice of their investment advisor, Fund expenses may increase and performance may be materially affected. However, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the International Opportunities Fund should its operating expenses exceed 2.25% through at least January 31, 2012.

15. SECURITIES VALUATION

Equity Securities (common and preferred stock) — Securities are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued using a commercial pricing service at the last quoted sales price taken from the primary market in which each security trades and, with respect to equity securities traded on

NASDAQ, such securities are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) or last sales price if no NOCP is available. If there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a given day, then the security is valued at the most recent bid price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service. To the extent that these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, a Fund’s investments are valued at fair value by the Pricing Committee if the Advisor determines that an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security’s primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the Fund’s share price is calculated. Significant events include, but are not limited to the following: significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant governmental actions; and major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Pricing Committee determines the fair value of affected securities by considering factors including, but not limited to: index options and futures traded subsequent to the close; American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) or other related receipts; currency spot or forward markets that trade after pricing of the foreign exchange; other derivative securities traded after the close such as Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts (“SPDRs”) and other exchange traded funds (“ETFs”); and alternative market quotes on the affected securities. When applicable, the Funds use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to assist in adjusting the valuation of foreign securities. When a Fund uses this fair value pricing method, the value assigned to the Fund’s foreign securities may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges and the securities are categorized in level 2. These valuation procedures apply equally to long or short equity positions in a Fund.

Corporate debt securities — Investments are valued at current market value by a commercial pricing service, or by using the last sale or bid price based on observable inputs. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Although most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where observable inputs are not available, they are categorized as level 3.

Short-term notes — Investments maturing in 60 days or less at time of purchase, are generally valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that the amortized cost method would not represent fair value, in which case the securities are marked-to-market. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Asset-backed securities — Investments are priced using the closing bid as supplied by a commercial pricing service based on observable inputs. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications, new issue data, monthly payment information and collateral performance. Although most asset-backed securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where observable inputs are not available, they are categorized as level 3.

U.S. government issuers — Investments are priced using the closing bid as supplied by a commercial pricing service based on observable inputs. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Although most U.S. government bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where observable inputs are not available, they are categorized as level 3.

Derivative instruments — Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a given day, then the option is valued at the most recent bid price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service.

Restricted securities — If market quotations are not readily available for the Funds’ investments in securities such as restricted securities, private placements, securities for which trading has been halted or other illiquid securities, these investments are valued at fair value in accordance with Board-approved Pricing Policies and Procedures by the Joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor and the Funds (“Pricing Committee”) with oversight by the Board of Trustees. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. For each applicable investment that is fair valued, the Pricing Committee considers, to the extent applicable, various factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of the company or limited partnership, operating results, prices paid in follow-on rounds, comparable companies in the public market, the nature and duration of the restrictions for holding the securities, and other relevant factors. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Funds use various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

  Ÿ  

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

  Ÿ  

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The inputs may include quoted prices for the identical investment on an inactive market, prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

  Ÿ  

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether a security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of September 30, 2010 in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities:

To the Board of Trustees

and Shareholders of

Wasatch Funds Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds constituting the Wasatch Funds Trust (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated (except for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund, and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund) and the financial highlights for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, Wasatch 1st-Source Income Fund, and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund for the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund, and Wasatch 1st Source Long/Short Fund as of September 30, 2008 and the financial highlights for the six months then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report dated November 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The financial statements of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund, and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund as of March 31, 2008 and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 22, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Wasatch Funds provides reports to shareholders twice a year. The annual report is for the Funds’ fiscal year which ends September 30. The semi-annual report is for the six months or period ending March 31. Additionally, the Funds’ schedules of investments for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year are available to shareholders as described on page 139. These reports provide shareholders with important information that will help them evaluate the management and performance of their investments. It is the desire of Wasatch Funds to help shareholders stay in tune with their investments. If you have any questions about the information in this report, a shareholder services representative will be happy to assist you when you call 800.551.1700.

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The holdings of each Wasatch Fund are detailed in the “Schedule of Investments.” This section provides a snapshot of the securities each Fund was invested in on the last day of the reporting period. The Wasatch Equity Funds invest primarily in Common Stocks of companies which are grouped together by industry. The U.S. Treasury Fund invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities. The Equity Funds will typically have only minor holdings in Short-Term Investments. At times the Funds may take temporary defensive positions by increasing cash or holdings in Short-Term Investments. Please see the prospectus under “Additional Information about the Funds.”

STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

These financial statements show the Assets and Liabilities of a Fund on the last day of the reporting period. A Fund’s Assets include the value of securities owned, amounts receivable for purchases of Fund shares (capital shares receivable), securities sold, interest and dividends, prepaid expenses and other assets. Liabilities are amounts owed for shareholder redemptions (capital shares payable), securities purchased, investment advisory fees and other expenses. Totaling up the assets and subtracting the liabilities results in a Fund’s Net Assets.

Net Assets consist of capital stock, paid-in capital in excess of par, undistributed net investment income or loss, undistributed net realized gain or loss on investments and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Capital stock is stock authorized by a company’s charter and having par value, stated value or no par value. Par value is set by the company issuing the shares and has no relation to Net Asset Value. The par value of one share of each Wasatch Fund is $.01. Paid-in capital in excess of par is capital received from shareholders in exchange for Fund shares that exceeds the par value of the shares. For example, if you bought one share of a Fund for $10, $.01 would show as “Capital stock” on the books of the Fund, and $9.99 would be accounted for under “Paid-in capital in excess of par.” Undistributed net investment income or loss is the amount of net investment income or loss of a Fund since inception that has not been paid to shareholders as a dividend.

Undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments is the amount of net realized gains or losses generated by a Fund since inception that have not been distributed to shareholders in the form of a capital gain distribution. A gain or loss is realized when a security is sold by a Fund. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is the change in value from the purchase price of securities a Fund continues to hold.

The number of shares a Fund is authorized to sell can be found under Capital Stock, $.01 par value. Issued and outstanding indicates the number of shares owned by shareholders.

Net Asset Value (NAV), Redemption Price and Offering Price Per Share shows the value of one outstanding share of a Fund on the date of the report. A Fund’s share price (NAV) is calculated by dividing the value of all securities and other assets owned by a Fund, less the liabilities charged to that Fund, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The share price is calculated at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Please see Wasatch Funds’ prospectus for more information about how share prices are calculated. Information about how the share price is affected by a Fund’s operation can be found under “Financial Highlights” on page 142.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements of Operations show investment income and expenses for each Fund as well as realized gains or losses from securities sold and the appreciation or depreciation in the value of a Fund’s holdings during the reporting period.

Investment Income shows Interest and Dividends earned from interest-bearing and dividend-paying securities in a Fund’s portfolio.

Expenses show the various fees and expenses paid out of a Fund’s assets such as the fee paid to Wasatch Advisors, the Funds’ investment advisor. Additional fees include shareholder servicing, fund administration and accounting, custody of fund assets, federal and state registration, legal counsel, auditing and trustees’ fees and other expenses. The Funds pay for printing and mailing statements, prospectuses, annual reports and semi-annual reports to shareholders.

Net Investment Income (Loss) is the amount of dividends and interest income earned on securities held by a Fund, less the Fund’s expenses.

Net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency translations is the net gain or loss on securities a Fund has sold. Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translations is the change in value of securities a Fund continues to hold.

Net gain (loss) on investments is the result of changes in the market value of securities a Fund has sold and securities it continues to hold.

STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

Net Assets are a Fund’s remaining assets after taking into consideration any liabilities. Statements of Changes in Net

Assets show the increase or decrease in a Fund’s net assets during the reporting period. Investment operations, dividends and capital share transactions affect a Fund’s net assets. Operations is a summary of the Statements of Operations. It includes investment income or loss, net realized gain or loss on investments and foreign currency translations a Fund has sold as well as appreciation or depreciation in the value of investments a Fund continues to hold.

Dividends are distributed by Wasatch Funds to sharehold-ers when Fund investments have earned income in excess of net expenses or when capital gains in excess of capital losses are realized from the sale of securities. Most shareholders choose to reinvest their dividends and capital gain distribu- tions. Each Fund is required by Internal Revenue Code regulations to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders in order to retain its status as a “regulated investment company.”

Capital share transactions are any transactions involving shares of a Fund, including the selling of Fund shares, shares issued by a Fund to shareholders for the reinvestment of dividends, and share redemptions.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights contain important historical operating information that you may find useful in making decisions or understanding the performance of your investment.

Net Asset Value (NAV) is defined under “Statements of Assets and Liabilities” on page 141. The difference between the Net asset value, beginning of period and the Net asset value, end of period in the Financial Highlights is the change in value of a Fund’s shares over the reporting period, but not its total return.

Income (loss) from investment operations shows how the share price was affected by a Fund’s operations on a per share basis. Net investment income (loss) is the per share

amount of dividends and interest income earned on securities held by a Fund, less the Fund’s expenses. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities is the per share increase or decrease in the value of securities a Fund holds or has sold during the reporting period. Gains or (losses) are realized when securities are sold. Gains or (losses) are unrealized when securities increase or decrease in value but are not sold.

Distributions are the per share amount that a Fund paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains.

Total return is the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an investment over a stated period of time. A total return percentage includes both changes in unrealized and realized gains and income. For the purposes of calculating total return, it is assumed that dividends and distributions are reinvested at the share price on the ex-dividend date of the distribution. A FUND’S TOTAL RETURN CANNOT BE COMPUTED DIRECTLY FROM THE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS.

Supplemental data and ratios are provided to help you better understand your investment. Net assets, end of period, are the net assets of a Fund on the reporting date. Ratio of expenses to average net assets shows the total of a Fund’s operating expenses divided by its average net assets for the stated period before and after waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor, if any. Ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets shows a Fund’s net investment income (loss) divided by its average net assets for the stated period before and after waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor, if any. Portfolio turnover rate measures a Fund’s buying and selling activity during the reporting period. It is computed by dividing total purchases or sales, whichever is less, by the average monthly market value of a Fund’s portfolio securities. This calculation does not include securities with a maturity date of less than 12 months.
