Thank you for your investment in Wasatch Funds. We hope this report will be helpful to you in exploring and understanding each of the funds within the Wasatch family. We have included the latest quarterly manager’s comments in order to provide you with the most current thoughts from each of our lead portfolio managers. Quarterly 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.

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.

If you have any questions please visit our website www.WasatchFunds.com or feel free to call us Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m – 7:00 p.m Central Time at 800.551.1700.

Investing in small cap funds will be more volatile and loss of principal 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.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

 

THE ECONOMY

 

Wall Street is primarily focused on short-term questions such as: Will the Federal Reserve (Fed) raise interest rates? Will the decline in weekly jobless claims continue? Will monthly housing starts improve? These economic indicators are interesting data points, but they often lead to more market volatility than is warranted by the underlying economy. Meanwhile, the long-term direction of the economy and the stock market will be determined by larger forces — forces many investors seem to be currently ignoring. Burdensome government debt, regulations that put U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage, political ineffectiveness, educational morass, and other significant systemic challenges remain a concern for the long-term health of our economy.

Looking at the short-term data trends, the good news is that despite the stubbornly sticky 8.8% unemployment rate many economic signals are showing increasing strength.1 The bad news is the recent appearance of rapidly increasing commodity prices, which could lead to inflation and dampen the recovery. There has been

a quick change in sentiment from just a few months ago when the talk on the street was about the possibility of deflation. I didn’t consider deflation to be a significant threat, but even I have been surprised by how quickly inflationary pressures have appeared in what is still a muddling economy.

Rising demand from recovering economies has unfortunately combined with bad weather and turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa to drive oil, wheat, cotton, cocoa and other commodity prices up significantly. Oil prices have now returned to the level which caused real concern shortly before the 2008 financial crisis. As an input to so much of the world economy, sustained high oil prices will have noticeably negative impact on the global economic recovery.

Meanwhile, the Fed, now forced to be concerned about early signs of potential inflation, has begun selling some of their mortgage-backed securities. These sales counteract the originally intended stimulative impact of the Fed’s quantitative easing program (QE2) to some degree. The challenge for the Fed is the delicate balance required to stimulate the economy without triggering significant inflation while using only the very blunt tools at its disposal. Given the economic complexity, and the seemingly continuous stream of unexpected external events, I would consider a muddling slow-growth recovery to be a successful outcome.

Globally, several rapidly growing emerging countries, like China and India, have been tapping on the brakes of their economies in an effort to keep increasing inflationary pressures in check. The combination of slowing emerging economies and recovering developed economies brings us closer to equilibrium in growth throughout the world, but emerging countries still appear well positioned to outpace developed economies over the next several years.

THE MARKET

I’ve mentioned previously that the market rebounded more quickly from the 2008 financial and economic crisis than I believe the economic recovery warranted. The market’s strength continues to leave me a little concerned about whether investors truly learned the lesson from 2008 about preservation of capital. The market’s lack of sustained reaction to the events during the first quarter of 2011 again show underlying investor optimism that may be overdone. Recent events led to increased market volatility, but in the end the U.S. stock market still posted its strongest first quarter gain in 12 years, with the S&P 500 up nearly 6% for the quarter.

Following the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the Japanese market saw a drastic two-day sell off of roughly 16%. Even the Japanese market bounced back quickly, recovering roughly half of the losses within days while the extent of the tragedy was still unfolding. At quarter end, the Nikkei 225 Index remained below its March peak, but higher than it was just five months ago.

The ouster of Tunisian President Ben Ali, followed by the uprising in Egypt and the unrest that spread quickly through the Middle East and North Africa is another significant human story. It is also having economic impact throughout the world with escalating oil prices. The Egyptian stock market closed for nearly two months as events unfolded. When the market finally re-opened in March it dropped about 9% on the first day, but by the end of the quarter it too had rebounded, ending down just 3% since re-opening.2

Closer to home, U.S. companies continue to reflect signs of an improving business environment. Growth expectations for 2011 are looking brighter but still remain fairly modest. Given the challenges facing the longer-term health of the U.S economy, I think the domestic stock market is unlikely to continue advancing at the pace we saw in the first quarter, despite underlying investor optimism.

WASATCH PERFORMANCE

Lipper recently recognized two of the Wasatch international mutual funds, the Wasatch International Opportunities Fund and the Wasatch International Growth Fund, with the prestigious Lipper Fund Award for being the #1 International Small/Mid-Cap Growth Funds based on consistent (risk-adjusted) return for the 5-year and 3-year periods, respectively, as of 12/31/10 (out of 67 and 75 funds). This is another testament to the strength of our international team, now a decade old, and the opportunity we believe exists to apply the Wasatch investment approach abroad.

Coming off what was a pretty strong year for Wasatch in 2010, our funds in general had a slightly sluggish first quarter relative to the market (see our website www.wasatchfunds.com for the latest performance details). The broad market move toward higher quality companies last year has made it harder for us to find interesting undervalued opportunities. We feel confident in the quality and prospects of our portfolio companies, but given the current economic uncertainty we are generally willing to give up a little upside potential in order to maintain the quality of our portfolios. Rotating into lower quality companies in search of better values at times like these has historically proven to be a mistake.

As I write this letter, we are completing final preparations for a new fund that we plan to launch around the end of April. The Wasatch Emerging India Fund (WAINX) will focus on Indian firms, with a bias toward smaller companies. This is a narrowly focused fund because we believe India offers a uniquely interesting investment opportunity for the next decade and beyond.

India is the fourth largest economy in the world and growing rapidly.3 More importantly, it is home to many small, less-followed companies with compelling business opportunities, high quality managements and strong financials. And with a vibrant initial public offering (IPO) market, investment opportunities in India continue to expand.

Few U.S. investors are focused specifically on India. Instead, India typically gets included as part of an Emerging Market Fund allocation, where Indian investments are likely relegated to large cap companies. We believe, in typical Wasatch fashion, that the best opportunity in India is to get off the beaten path and find the unknown smaller companies that we expect will be the beneficiaries of rapid projected growth in India’s middle class.

Wasatch has been investing in India for more than 10 years because India is far ahead of many emerging markets in infrastructure quality and regulatory oversight. Focusing on a single country will add a different element of risk to this Fund, but India is a country in which we have great long-term confidence.

We believe the Fund’s April launch may end up being timely because the Indian market is off roughly 11% from its recent highs (based on the MSCI India IMI Index); but of course our real interest is where we believe this market can go over the next decade, not the next year. I was in India last month and was again taken aback by the abundant signs of development and the growing middle class wherever I went.

As with each new Wasatch fund, we are excited both for the prospects of the Emerging India Fund itself and for the insights we expect it will deliver across our research team as we dig even deeper into this market. We look forward to bringing the Emerging India Fund into the Wasatch family. You will be able to get more details about this new fund on our website if you’re interested.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Sincerely,

WASATCH CORE GROWTH FUND (WGROX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

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 6.66% in the first three months of 2011. It was a strong quarter for U.S. equities, with the Russell 2000 Index and S&P 500 Index rising 7.94% and

5.92%, respectively. The stock market’s performance was particularly impressive given some of the turmoil around the globe and continued economic headwinds here at home.

We attribute the market’s resilience to the massive amount of liquidity provided by “QE2,” the second round of quantitative easing since the credit crisis. The Federal Reserve (Fed) signaled its intent to embark on QE2 late last August and began purchasing Treasuries in November. The anticipation and subsequent reality of the Fed’s actions have fueled the market’s gains over the past seven months. Therefore, the same trends that emerged in the latter part of 2010 have continued into 2011. Appetites for risk remain elevated, and high technology and commodities are still two of the hottest areas of the market. Energy stocks have received an additional boost from the spike in oil prices caused by unrest in the Middle East and North Africa.

Without much participation in high technology and commodity-oriented sectors, it was difficult for the Fund to keep up with the small cap market this quarter. The lofty price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples and fast-changing dynamics in technology make many tech stocks less appropriate for our style. We also tend to be underinvested in energy and materials companies since their prospects generally depend on volatile commodity prices. Our focus is on capturing stable, consistent earnings growth at a reasonable price. We follow this discipline at all times, regardless of what hot sectors may be driving the market.

Solid stock picking in several areas, including consumer staples and industrials, helped mitigate our relatively low exposure to the market’s high-flying sectors. We own interesting companies that are doing well independently of broad economic trends, and whose stocks have risen on the heels of good earnings announcements. We have seen particularly strong price appreciation from some of our largest positions — positions we have held, and had conviction in, for a long time.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

One of our best-performing stocks this quarter was Herbalife Ltd., a global marketer of nutritional products that is a top 10 holding in the Fund. The company sells its products through a network of independent distributors who earn income from their own sales, as well as the sales

of distributors they recruit. Once these multi-level models gain momentum, they tend to keep growing at high rates for a long period of time. We think Herbalife is a classic example of this, and the company is seeing growth in all of its major markets.

Copart, Inc. and Aaron’s, Inc. were also top contributors. Copart, a provider of auto salvage auction services, completed a successful tender offer in January, buying back almost 15% of its shares. Aaron’s, a rent-to-own retailer, is benefiting from the shrinking availability of credit for lower-income consumers. Banks and credit card companies have tightened lending standards in the wake of the financial crisis, leaving this demographic with fewer financing options.

Life Time Fitness, Inc., a chain of fitness centers, had a weak quarter despite reporting solid operating results. Like many consumer names, Life Time was impacted by concerns that rising gas prices would cut into discretionary spending. We also think it was giving back some of its upward momentum after having done so well off the market bottom. We feel Life Time offers a best-in-class member experience at an affordable price, and it is still one of our largest positions.

Other stocks that lagged included City Union Bank Ltd. and Axis Bank Ltd., both Indian banks. India was one of the worst performing equity markets this quarter, mainly due to worries about rising inflation. The weakness in the market, combined with the lingering effects of corporate governance issues in the banking industry, weighed on City Union and Axis. Nonetheless, we remain enthusiastic about these two names — and the other Indian banks we own — given their underlying fundamental strength. These companies have grown rapidly over the past decade and are expected to continue to grow at high rates in the coming years. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

If the Fed keeps intervening, and there is a QE3 after QE2, optimism and appetite for risk could remain high. This scenario would be challenging for us, since P/Es would probably continue to skyrocket in the same hot sectors, namely high technology and commodities. We would participate in the rally but struggle to keep up with the market, similar to this quarter.

We think a more likely scenario is that optimism fades as the headwinds facing the economy continue to blow. The overall tax burden is rising, news on the housing market remains bleak, and gasoline prices are the highest they have been since 2008. In this type of environment, we believe real growth will be hard to come by, and that the growth of our portfolio companies will shine.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH EMERGING MARKETS SMALL CAP FUND (WAEMX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011

OVERVIEW

 

The first quarter saw emerging markets correct after a strong year in 2010. The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund returned -3.50% for the quarter and underperformed the

MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, which returned -2.72%. Small cap stocks in emerging markets underperformed large caps due to the stronger performance of large global sectors, namely energy, materials and information technology. Assets generally flowed out of emerging markets back into developed markets, including the U.S. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 2.05%.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

In the first quarter, “value” markets (Japan and Southern Europe) performed well after a difficult 2010 and “growth markets” (emerging) corrected. Tumultuous political events in the Middle East dominated the news and seriously affected sentiment regarding emerging markets. For other markets, like China and India, concerns about the ability of central banks to tackle inflation, especially food inflation, were a source of market anxiety.

Our investments in Egypt were affected by closure of the stock market and investment flows out of the country as protests against the Mubarak government continued, including Egyptian Financial Group-Hermes Holding, Nationale Societe Generale Bank, and Paints & Chemicals Industries. Our exposure to Egypt was about 1.5% at quarter-end. We are still constructive on our Egyptian financials, as we see investment picking up after the first quarter.

The previously underperforming Indian and Indonesian markets started to level out toward the end of the quarter as concerns about inflation and in India, the budget and elections, started to subside. We are overweight in these markets and continue to hold an optimistic long-term view. We expect broad growth across the small companies we own in India and Indonesia — from banks, to retailers, to toll-road operators.

It is worth mentioning changes in one country we just visited. Korea may soon “graduate” from emerging to developed status, as its per capita gross domestic product (GDP) is approaching that of southern Europe. Korea is one of the most export driven countries in the world, globally competitive in shipbuilding, autos (Kia and Hyundai have been growing rapidly in the U.S.), semiconductors, consumer electronics, and biotechnology.

Korea is the classic Asian success story where consumer spending was suppressed for many years, as the focus was on long-term investment in export-oriented industries often

competing head on against Japan. For many years, the Korean “chaebol” (South Korean form of global business conglomerate) were singularly focused on building market share at the expense of returns on capital. With the 1997 Asian financial crisis came tight capital and a banking system that had to become more rational. Since then, Korean companies have changed their views on profitability, returns on capital, and the role of bank lending. Today, we think there are many more interesting, leading edge small companies in Korea with experienced, educated managements compared to larger companies. As large Korean companies have extended their global reach, there has been a sea change in the role of small Korean companies. They support their larger customers, the chaebol, in flexible and innovative ways.

We believe Korea’s smaller companies are underappreciated for their quality and diversity, and that they are more outward-looking and growth-oriented than many small Japanese companies we know.

One of the strongest aspects of the Korean story is the education system. In Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) studies in 2009, Korea ranks among the top 10 educational systems in the world. In terms of low high school drop out rates, Korea ranks in the top five countries, tied with Finland. Like Japan, Korea is applying its knowledge and determination to areas like electronics and communications and relentlessly improving its manufacturing abilities. However, Korea is more aggressive about growing in emerging markets.

Korean companies are well placed in emerging markets. They have worked hard to create product quality comparable to Japanese standards yet sell at price points significantly below Japanese levels, a function of their lower costs in Korea and the higher level of manufacturing they do outside of Korea. In markets like China, Korean companies are seeing significant growth. LG, Samsung and Kia have become global brand names and have overtaken well-known Japanese names like Panasonic and Sony. They are now the innovators.

Following are some of the companies we own in Korea. iMarketKorea is a web-based procurement business set up by Samsung to lower buying costs for companies. Partron is a manufacturer and designer of components for smartphones building a customer base across Asia. Daum Communications is an Internet portal designed for use by smartphones with a significant search market in Korea. One of the common features of our Korean companies is the level of technology employed and the investment in research and development. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

In conclusion, the first quarter was marked by huge world events, which will have long term consequences. The correction has allowed us opportunities to find new investments as capital flowed out of emerging markets. We believe the Fund is well positioned and will continue to reward a long-term view to investment.

We are grateful for your ongoing support as shareholders.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund started the year on a positive note, gaining 5.83% in the first quarter. It was also a good quarter for the world’s equity markets. Stocks in

most countries advanced on top of strong performance in the second half of 2010.

The Fund outperformed the benchmark indices, despite several headwinds. The U.S. stock market was one of the world’s strongest markets, and we were underweight in the United States. Emerging markets were relatively weak, and we were overweight in emerging markets. Lastly, the Fund is weighted toward the “smallest of the small caps,” including micro caps, because we believe this is where the greatest market inefficiencies exist. Our emphasis on very small stocks worked against us relative to the small cap indices, since larger names in the indices had the best returns. Given these challenges, we were pleased the Fund outperformed.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The Japanese market was weak due to the earthquake and ensuing nuclear disaster, but our investments in Japan gained more than 8%. Several stocks that are benefiting from the global migration from traditional retailing to Internet retailing did particularly well, including Start Today. GCA Savvian Group, a firm that advises on mergers and acquisitions, was another top performer on an improved outlook for transaction volumes. We think the quality of our holdings also had a lot to do with the strong results in Japan. When investing in any country, we focus on companies with healthy profits and solid balance sheets, and these types of names tend to be resilient in volatile times.

We continued to do well in Western Europe, led by strength in Germany. Wirecard was the top contributor in the portfolio, and Gerry Weber International was not far behind. Wirecard is one of the leading processors of online payment transactions in Europe. Like Start Today, it is capitalizing on the trend toward Internet shopping. The company has started expanding around the world and recently announced partnerships with two major payment-processing firms in China. Gerry Weber, a women’s apparel wholesaler and retailer, is posting good sales growth and is accelerating its growth throughout Europe based on the popularity of its concept.

South Korea was a bright spot in emerging markets, driven by strong returns from our information technology companies. One of our best-performing stocks was Koh

Young Technology, a manufacturer of equipment that inspects printed circuit boards (PCB) for defects. The company is benefiting from a rebound in spending on inspection equipment following a period of underinvestment. In addition, PCB boards are becoming increasingly miniaturized, so less inspection can be done manually. Technology was not only a winning sector in South Korea, it was the top sector in the Fund. Technology companies are doing well generally, and our holdings across the software and services, semiconductor, and hardware and equipment industries produced substantial gains.

In the United States, the Fund’s underweight in energy and materials companies negatively impacted performance. With the rising price of oil and other commodities, these were strong sectors of the market. Our position in Orexigen Therapeutics, also detracted from performance. Orexigen is a U.S. biotechnology firm whose stock tumbled after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rejected its lead drug candidate. Because of the FDA’s decision, there are no steady sources of revenue on the horizon, and we sold our position.

During the quarter, we visited India and South Africa and added some interesting new names to the Fund as a result of those trips. For example, we bought shares of Clicks Group, which we like to think of as the Walgreens of South Africa. Clicks is the dominant health and beauty retailer in the country, and we believe it still has lots of headroom to grow. It is benefiting from the rise of South Africa’s middle class and is also taking market share from “mom and pop” stores. The consolidation of fragmented industries with many small players into organized industries with a few key players is a trend we are seeing across emerging markets. Companies that are capitalizing on this trend are attractive to us, because their growth prospects are not heavily dependent on macroeconomic factors. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

Investors have had a lot of negative news to digest, including the nuclear crisis in Japan, inflation in emerging countries and political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East. We believe the markets have been surprisingly resilient given what is happening around the world.

In this period of so many uncertainties, it is business as usual at Wasatch. As always, we are not spending much time thinking about broad trends in the economy or the geopolitical climate. Instead, we remain focused on what we do best, which is in-depth fundamental research and bottom-up stock picking. The fundamentals of our portfolio companies look solid and have continued to improve coming out of the recession. Valuations are not what they were two years ago at the bottom of the market. However, we are still finding good companies that seem reasonably valued.

OVERVIEW

 

We are pleased to report that the first quarter was a productive time for the Fund. First, we built on our strong recent performance by generating a return of 6.60%, bringing the Fund’s one-year gain to 24.61%. Second, we announced that the Fund would change its name to the Wasatch World Innovators Fund on April 1, 2011. The Fund will continue to look for growing and innovative companies throughout the world, but its restriction to the science and technology sectors will be

removed so that we may more freely invest across the entire market. The Fund will continue to have significant investments in science and technology stocks, since these are fertile areas for the types of companies in which we seek to invest.

We are enthusiastic about the new name. Not only does it have a nice ring to it, but it also better represents our mission. This is not, after all, an exchange-traded fund that mindlessly tracks a technology index. Instead, it is a classic Wasatch Fund that strives to find the best growth companies in the world, with a specific focus on companies whose innovative business models are reshaping the industries in which they compete.

A key aspect of our approach is that we will look for investments in all economic sectors, since innovation is not exclusive to technology and health care companies. As an example, we recently added two business services companies — Japanese trucking broker Transcom Co. Ltd. and commercial printing broker InnerWorkings Inc. In both cases, the companies entered huge, fragmented markets where suppliers offer commoditized services but win business on relationships as much as price. These companies use technology to aggregate information about suppliers’ equipment availability and pricing to create a real-time marketplace that customers can use to procure the fastest, highest quality service at the lowest price. Both companies are taking market share and dramatically outpacing industry growth rates.

The retail business is as old as human history, and yet the sector is also home to a wealth of innovative companies. For example, Amazon.com, Inc. has a unique model for selling, warehousing, and delivering its products, which allows it to offer the longest list of products at or near the best price available. While Amazon is probably the most well known example, dozens of online retailers are indelibly transforming their businesses. Included in this group are three stocks we added to the portfolio in recent months: ASOS plc (United Kingdom) and Yoox S.p.A. (Italy), which offer fashion and luxury clothing, respectively; zooplus AG, a European retailer of pet supplies; and Ctrip.com International, Ltd., a dominant Chinese hotel and airline ticket site.

 

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The largest contributor to our first quarter performance was our top holding Wirecard AG, an online payment enabler based near Munich, Germany. The company announced partnerships with the leading payment solutions companies in China — Alipay and China Union Pay. These companies are similar to the U.S. companies Paypal and Visa, respectively. This is fantastic news for Wirecard’s existing customers, and it should attract many new customers by allowing merchants to sell directly to Chinese consumers. Despite the 31% surge in Wirecard shares in the March quarter, we continue to think that investors are underestimating the growth potential of the company’s online transaction business.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. was another significant contributor to our first quarter performance. The company focuses on off-patent medications, especially in emerging markets. Investors responded positively to the news that Valeant’s recent acquisition of Biovail is exceeding all expectations. Valeant has built a solid track record of acquiring underperforming products and revitalizing them through its outstanding distribution network.

Programmable logic device (PLD) chip companies Altera Corp. and Xilinx, Inc. also made a substantial contribution to performance. Since PLD chips are programmable, they offer companies the ability to get their electronic products to market rapidly and with the flexibility to make last-minute alterations. Both companies reported stronger-than-expected earnings during the quarter, fueling a rise in their stock prices.

In a period of strong market performance, few of our investments declined and no individual stocks significantly detracted from performance. That said, Tessera Technologies, Inc. — a company that provides packaging designs to chipmakers — was the largest detractor. While Tessera holds some valuable patents, we decided to move on since the company’s basic business offers unattractive growth. Further, its new businesses aren’t sufficiently unique for Tessera to be termed an “innovator.”

Not surprisingly, several of our Japanese holdings registered declines as investors tried to assess the impact of the catastrophe that hit the country. We took the opportunity to add to our favorite companies there, including MonotaRO Co. Ltd., Wacom Co. Ltd. and Transcom, with the view that while Japan’s growth may stall for a quarter or two, these well-run growth companies will ultimately recover. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

It is our core view that no matter what macroeconomic concerns may be driving the performance of the major indices, there will always be innovative businesses that can buck the trends by growing or at least taking market share during bad years. We are confident that finding these disruptive companies — including those in the early stages of high growth as well as the stalwarts with household names and long leads on the competition — has the potential to be a successful long-term investment strategy.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The new year stumbled out of the gate with an abundance of global turbulence. Soaring oil prices, political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa and the tragic earthquake and

nuclear disaster in Japan were among the headline events.

Although the equity markets were spooked by the events in March, they recovered quickly and delivered solid gains for the quarter. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, gained 7.85% during the first quarter.

In contrast to the commotion around the world, it was a relatively quiet quarter for the Heritage Growth Fund with few changes to our holdings. The Fund posted a return of 6.88%. We are pleased with the composition of the Fund and the way our companies have performed fundamentally.

Riskier and momentum-driven stocks, with high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, continued to exhibit strength as 2011 began. However, as the quarter wore on, higher quality stocks akin to those we feel are held in the Fund began to gain ground.

We’ve increased the projected growth rate of the portfolio over the past year while reducing the number of holdings. To do this we sold some good companies that were not projected to grow quickly enough to merit a spot in the portfolio any longer. We feel that the remaining companies not only have attractive growth rates, but also are valued in such a way that there is plenty of potential for future stock price expansion.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

One of the criteria we use in our stock evaluation process is making an assessment of a company’s valuation in the market place. It really is the art of what we try to do because, although there are important metrics that can help guide the process, each individual company has to be analyzed on its own merits and within the context of its realm in the economy.

For example, during the quarter we sold F5 Networks, Inc. an equipment and software developer that provides technology for optimizing information technology resources. We’ve owned the company for over four years, yet we felt the valuation got stretched during the quarter, bringing with it considerable risk. In our opinion, the price got to a point beyond the company’s ability to withstand elevated expectations. As exceptional a company as we think F5 is, after it reported what would normally be considered stellar growth for most firms, the stock price was pummeled as reported earnings failed to meet the lofty expectations of

investors. We sold our position prior to the market’s negative reaction, which pulled the stock price back over 37% from its high.

We are excited about the prospects of one of our newest holdings, LKQ Corp. The company is a dominant player in the unconsolidated industry of refurbished and recycled auto parts. With most of its supplies going toward automobile accident repairs, LKQ Corp.’s business is relatively agnostic to the economic environment. We believe the real opportunity will be in its ability to gain market share (currently only 13% in the collision space) as it brings professional management, and a nationwide distribution network, to an industry long dominated by mom-and-pop shops.

Altera Corp. continued its recent strong performance during the quarter and was the Fund’s top-contributing stock. Although we have trimmed our position occasionally to control the weight, the semiconductor maker has sustained an attractive valuation and healthy growth prospects.

With strong overall returns, the Fund didn’t have any significant decliners during the quarter. Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. and NII Holdings, Inc. pulled back slightly and detracted from the Fund’s performance.

Expeditors, a logistical services provider for moving freight, increased earnings 40% during the fourth quarter, but the stock sold off after earnings decelerated following back-to-back 60% growth quarters. We view the market’s reaction as a short-term blip and maintain our investment thesis.

NII Holdings, a wireless communications provider in Latin America, scaled back due to market concerns over a large investment the company is making to gain 3G access. With industry-leading average revenue per user, a unique competitive advantage in the push-to-talk commercial market and now a widespread 3G network, we believe the company continues to be well-positioned. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

Economic difficulties such as high unemployment and government debt burdens continue to linger while indications of inflation present a new challenge. Also, with the market having doubled off its lows, we are taking a cautious approach to managing the Fund. We would be surprised if the strong returns we’ve recently witnessed continue. For that reason, our discipline and positioning as investors is critical.

Our success in finding modestly valued companies that are still able to meet our growth hurdle rate of 15% maintains our optimism about the Fund’s current composition and its prospects for the future. While this strategy may slightly trail the market during frothy environments, we believe it delivers significant potential for downside protection during pullbacks when investors turn to higher quality companies for stability.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch International Growth Fund returned 1.68% in the first quarter, and slightly trailed the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which was up 1.86%. At the end of 2010, we postulated that 2011 would be a hard year for navigating the markets, and indeed, this has been the case so far. We never could have foreseen all of the turmoil that unfolded in the Middle East and North Africa or the tragic

earthquake that struck Japan. Curiously, investors are largely ignoring these events, and liquidity is controlling our destiny, pushing returns for many asset classes higher. The back half of the year could prove more difficult for growth, particularly in the developed markets, where comparisons may worsen, liquidity will likely slow, and austerity measures may crimp growth. It will continue to be a stock picker’s market.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

A big positive driver in the quarter came from being both underweight in Japan and picking stocks that outperformed in that market. The Japanese market started the year on strong footing. Investors were projecting a recovery year for developed markets, driven by the belated impact of expansionary fiscal and monetary policy. This tactical optimism was benefiting Japan’s markets, and therefore hurting performance relative to our Index at the start of the year. While we have almost continuously held a negative view on Japan, it is our bottom up analysis of Japanese stocks that drives our underweight position.

We couldn’t have predicted the devastating events that unfolded in Japan. The team visited the country two weeks before the earthquake. We screened thousands of companies and visited a handful that made our initial cut based on quality and growth. From our bottom up work, we did not come back with the view that we should be more ambitious with our portfolio weight in Japan. One of our team members, Laura Geritz, co-portfolio manager of the Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, lived in the region of Japan most impacted by the earthquake. I’ve included some of her comments on the situation.

If you have seen pictures of the graveyard of white cars along the coast of Japan, this is very close to where I used to live. The inland and coastal region north of Tokyo is characterized by a number of large cities (relatively small though by Japanese standards), with a vast area of this plain dedicated to farming. Japan’s population is densely packed into the cities and along the coast, and the devastation to human life is unimaginable. However, the global economy is unlikely to be derailed by a disaster in the northern hinterlands of Japan.

We have been relatively unconcerned about the Fund’s holdings from an operational perspective. We primarily hold service companies headquartered in Tokyo where the damage has been fairly contained. Start Today, GMO Payment Gateway, Simplex Holdings, and Osaka Securities Exchange contributed positively to the Fund in the quarter.

In the long run, Japan will recover from the disaster, but I wonder about its economic recovery. As passionate students of Japan, we are hoping for a better outcome than what we’ve seen in the last 20 years, but with a downward spiraling fiscal situation, our expectations are low.

On a brighter note, we had solid success from our names in Korea, another country visited during the quarter, with positive contributions from OCI Materials, Hyundai Home Shopping Network, and Techno Semichem. Although technically an emerging economy, the team thinks Korea has many attributes of a developed nation — just with more opportunities for advanced growth.

China, once again, was our Achilles heel. We were underweight in this underperforming market, which was good, but our stock picks were not great. Both Ports Design and Yingde Gases contributed negatively to the Fund. China has too much capital flowing into the market. Although our companies benefit from the strong economic backdrop, they are hurt by an evolving and difficult competitive landscape. Ports Design and Yingde Gases have both been casualties in an increasingly challenging environment. It isn’t a case of horrible results, but simply a case of gradual erosion in returns on capital. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

Year-to-date, the emerging market to developed market trade has dominated the markets. The transition from emerging markets to developed markets started late last year and was perpetuated by heavy cash flows out of emerging markets. This impacted performance, since the Fund is overweight in emerging markets relative to our Index. We hypothesized that this tactical movement of money would last until mid-summer. Then, investors would look at the developed world, particularly the U.S., and realize these markets face much more difficult economic comparisons, an eroding fiscal picture, and austerity measures that may impact growth.

No matter what direction asset allocation heads — to developed or emerging countries — we continue to focus on investing from the ground up. We are currently visiting companies in the United Kingdom and finding new and interesting ideas in this nation in spite of the difficult macro economic backdrop. We are also on our way to Chile, where we will visit companies that are operating in a more hospitable environment. Inflation remains a concern, but we believe we are broadly invested in high quality companies to help mitigate whatever potential economic black swans this year’s more difficult environment tosses our way.

Thank you for your investment.

OVERVIEW

 

The U.S. equity market continued to outpace most international markets in the first quarter of 2011, continuing a trend from late 2010. Over the period, there was also a significant move

away from emerging markets and into developed markets. This reflects in part a correction after those markets’ strong run, as well as investors’ desire for potentially less volatile holdings in the face of uncertainty about rising inflation and regional unrest.

The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund returned 2.27% during the year’s first quarter, slightly ahead of its benchmark, the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which returned 1.86%. The strength of our individual stock selections helped us to keep pace with the benchmark, although a significant cash position hampered our performance somewhat.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Although our strongest performer for the quarter came from Germany, its success was due to much more than the market trends favoring established markets. Wirecard, a provider of credit-card processing and electronic payment systems, continued to benefit from the broad secular trend toward more transactions taking place online. Wirecard’s performance during the quarter was sparked by its recent licensing agreement with China UnionPay,* which operates a payment-processing network and issues credit cards through its member banks. This agreement gives Wirecard desirable exposure to Asia’s rapid consumer growth.

Bucking the broader trend favoring developed markets, our next four top contributors for the period came from Korea. We were bullish on this market going into the period. Inflation fears and high valuations drove many investors away from China, but we saw Korea as a less-expensive way to participate in the region’s rapid growth while avoiding some of China’s current pitfalls. Daum Communications, Korea’s leading website operator, continued to take share from sleepy competitors in a market with high levels of Internet usage. Our number three contributor, Koh Young Technology, a maker of 3D inspection and measurement systems used in electronics manufacturing, continues to benefit from wider use of inspection equipment and pent-up demand resulting from years of manufacturers’ underinvestment. Koh Young has emerged as a global leader in its industry, thanks to a savvy management team that finds ways to create better products at a lower price.

We view a holding like Koh Young as a great example of how our global investment approach helps us to identify great companies before they’re on other investors’ radar. Over time, we’ve visited — and sometimes invested in — far-flung competitors found in Germany, Israel, Taiwan, and the U.S. This has allowed us to gain a thorough understanding of the industry and the competition the company faces — all of which helped us to discern Koh Young’s distinctive strengths early on. If we were limited to a single region of the globe, or didn’t engage ourselves in hands-on, on-site research, it would have been easy for a company like this to elude us. We believe Koh Young remains reasonably valued, and for that matter, we’re still finding attractive valuations throughout the country, though Korea is beginning to draw more attention from global investors. A potential source of concern is its sometimes-volatile neighbor North Korea.

Our greatest detractor from performance during the quarter was Middle Eastern shipper Aramex. The company has naturally been affected by the political turmoil throughout the region. Further, even though it may be located in an oil-rich part of the world, Aramex is not immune to the negative impact of higher fuel prices. We continue to believe that the company’s success in reducing dependence on lower-margin services and healthy balance sheet have positioned it well for a competitive global market.

Indian retailer and textile maker S. Kumars Nationwide also detracted from performance, suffering from a general equity selloff in that country. We visited the company during our trip to India earlier this year. While organized retail is still in its earlier stages there, we believe S. Kumars has positioned itself as a pioneer, ready to benefit as the nation’s rising consumer class continues to demand more, and better quality, branded clothing. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

We believe our global approach to investing is well suited to the at times unsettled environment currently facing the world’s equity markets. Our focus on direct, fundamental research is aimed at identifying tomorrow’s leading companies wherever they may be found, before others discover them. It can help us find both the tortoises of an economy — companies that execute well on long-term growth strategies — as well as the hares — those that can rapidly adapt to and capitalize on changing technologies and markets.

Global travel and on-site visits will continue to be key components of our investment research, along with a healthy dose of the more mundane yet equally important work of scrutinizing balance sheets, industry reports, and other financial documents. We’ve made good progress on deploying the cash position that built up late last year, and will steadily put more of it to work as we identify opportunities to invest at entry points that leave room for healthy appreciation.

WASATCH LARGE CAP VALUE FUND (FMIEX) Management Discussion

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund returned 6.24% for the first quarter of 2011, roughly in keeping with the 6.46% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The stock rally

continued in the quarter, as we had expected given ongoing growth in corporate earnings. There was significant volatility along the way, driven in large part by political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and tragedy in Japan.

While Japan’s catastrophic earthquake and tsunami and ensuing nuclear crisis impacted markets over the quarter, we expect the crisis will be worked through over time without systemic implications for the global economy. We view developments in the MENA region as more likely to shift the opportunities and pitfalls for the longer-term investment environment. If social and political unrest in the region leads to an evolution toward greater democracy and sharing of wealth, the outcome could be positive for global growth. On the other hand, if countries involved descend into violent instability or radical regimes, the impact could be significantly negative, especially for the energy sector.

We held an overweight position in energy, and the Fund’s strongest performers were related to the energy sector, as oil prices continued to rise over the quarter. Stock selection within consumer discretionary was the biggest detractor from performance. The agricultural theme contributed significantly to the Fund’s performance.

We should note that while MENA turmoil boosted oil prices, overweighting the energy sector is a secular theme for us. We view developments in the region as driving market recognition of the tight supply/demand dynamics for oil, rather than being the occasion for a one-time spike in energy prices.

Additionally, a number of companies held in the Fund implemented dividend increases over the quarter, ranging from a 15% increase for Intel Corp. to 60% for Williams Cos., Inc. The prospect of publicly-traded companies displaying increased sensitivity to shareholders in the form of higher dividends has been a theme in our positioning for some time. A number of our holdings generated excess cash and we were glad to see more of it distributed to shareholders. This trend was especially helpful in an environment of near-zero interest rates.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Five of the Fund’s top contributors were related to the energy sector in one way or another. A couple of our portfolio companies benefited from strategic restructurings in order to garner intrinsic value. Marathon Oil Corp. announced plans to break into separate refining and exploration and production entities, news that was welcomed by investors. In a similar vein, Williams Cos. spun off its exploration and production operation from its pipeline business, news that was accompanied by a 60% dividend increase. We find the trend of restructuring as a way to unlock shareholder value encouraging and would not be surprised to see other portfolio companies follow suit.

We sold one-third of our position in stock exchange NYSE Euronext on the announcement that the firm was to combine with Deutsche Boerse AG.* We continue to monitor the position and the potential for additional, higher acquisition offers to emerge.

The leading detractor from relative performance was Canadian uranium miner Cameco Corp. After starting the quarter well on the back of a 42% dividend increase, Cameco dipped sharply in the wake of Japan’s nuclear problems. The company has a long-term supply contract with China, which may be reviewing its program of building nuclear reactors following events in Japan. We have traded around our position in Cameco in recent quarters, adding on weakness and trimming on strength. We are considering whether to add to the position after the most recent decline. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

As we noted last quarter, most Wall Street forecasts for 2011 and 2012 had reached the point of anticipating something close to a normal business cycle. This is an assessment we viewed with some skepticism given the need to work through some 15 years’ lack of financial discipline and transparency around the globe. And in fact, in the first quarter of 2011 we saw some analysts begin to trim their growth targets, perhaps influenced by events in Japan, as well as ongoing fiscal distress in Europe and the contentious debate over measures to correct the U.S. budgetary imbalance. A risk we will be monitoring closely is the possibility of the Federal Reserve ending its program of bond purchases earlier than planned, a move that could lead to higher interest rates and diminish support for equities.

On the positive side, corporate earnings and cash flow remain strong across most sectors. In addition, mergers and acquisitions activity has been vibrant, and the environment for re-financing and leveraged transactions has improved. On balance, we expect to be fully invested, while rotating out of positions that we see as fully valued and into other, better opportunities. We own many stocks trading in the 9 to 12 P/E range with good dividends and the prospect of dividend increases. We believe the Fund is well positioned with the potential to provide positive returns as 2011 progresses.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

In a positive quarter for stocks, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index and the Citigroup 3-Mo. U.S. T-Bills Index.

Strong U.S. equity market performance continued in the first

quarter, driven mainly by growth in corporate earnings. There was significant volatility along the way, driven largely by political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and tragedy in Japan. Energy stocks benefited as developments in the MENA region increased market recognition of supply/demand dynamics.

The Fund participated fully in the strong quarter, and we believe without assuming unnecessary risk. The Fund benefited from sector overweights in energy, information technology, and materials, as well as good security selection. While our short positions in aggregate detracted from the Fund’s return, they only slightly constrained performance relative to the S&P 500. Covered call positions contributed positively and some short positions were closed with gains.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

On the long side of the portfolio, the Fund was rewarded for strong security selection within information technology and industrials.

The Fund’s top contributor was a significant position in a turnaround at a cash-rich technology company, Silicon Graphics. Following deep due diligence on the company, we built a position in the stock beginning in late 2009. We believe management has done an excellent job in executing a return to profitable growth. Silicon Graphics appears well positioned to continue benefiting from the trends toward cloud and open architecture computing. We believed it was undervalued and the market is coming around to our point of view.

A long position from the industrials sector that contributed strongly was storage solutions provider Iron Mountain. Our thesis regarding the company’s ability to return cash to shareholders through better capital allocation was brought into sharper focus by an activist investor group working to highlight the increased cash flow inherent in the business model if managed for shareholder returns versus growth.

The Fund also benefited from a large overweight in the energy sector. Within energy, offshore driller Noble Corp. stood out. While we remain constructive on energy stocks, we have rotated out of some positions that we felt had become fully valued, including Alpha Natural Resources, Atwood Oceanics, Tidewater, Statoil and Fluor. We have been rotating into efficient North American producers. In

this vein, Devon Energy, CONSOL Energy and Range Resources provided strong quarterly returns.

Long positions that detracted significantly were again Best Buy and Cisco Systems. While both companies have experienced near-term top-line growth challenges, we feel they are high-quality operations with strong management and the ability to allocate capital to the benefit of shareholders. We believe these companies are attractively valued and added to both positions.

New positions included gold mining companies Newmont Mining and Yamana Gold. We believed both stocks were oversold during a pullback in gold prices late in the period and took the opportunity to initiate positions. We also initiated a position in women’s apparel retailer Chico’s. The Wasatch research team has been following Chico’s for some time and has owned the company in several different styles in the past. While Chico’s no longer carries a strong growth profile, we believe it is a solid company. Chico’s was attractively priced and benefited from multiple expansion over the period.

The Fund also substantially increased its positions in Loews Corp. and its subsidiary, insurer CNA Financial. Loews is an excellent capital allocator and our visits with management showed us signs of an underwriting turnaround in CNA’s core insurance business. Loews and CNA have been trading at discounts to their book value and we believe they carry favorable risk/reward profiles.

The Fund’s short positions in aggregate went up during the quarter, though not as much as the S&P 500. Short positions that were closed included Salesforce.com and miner Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold. Finally, covered call writing benefited performance as many stocks traded within a range during February and March, meaning that we were able to garner the incremental option income. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

On balance, we are tending toward somewhat more defensive positioning. We expect the overall economic recovery to continue, which should be favorable for equities. That said, given the moderate rate of organic growth, we are increasingly concerned over the implications of the impending end of the Federal Reserve’s bond purchase program. In addition, questions over U.S. debt and the tough spending choices that will be required are likely to be a macro-level concern for the markets. Finally, higher food and energy costs may be a headwind for the U.S. economy and consumers in upcoming months. Accordingly, we have increased our short position to approximately 20%, with a focus on companies that will feel cost pressure from food and energy inputs.

On the long side, we remain focused on companies with strong business models, the ability to generate high levels of cash in a variety of growth environments, and the prospect of improving capital allocation through increased dividends and share buy backs.

As always, we will remain flexible in our views and prepared to make adjustments as necessary.

Thank you for the continued opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH MICRO CAP FUND (WMICX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

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

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund gained 6.58% in the first quarter. The Fund performed broadly in line with the Russell Microcap Index, which rose 6.80%.

It was another good quarter for U.S. equities following two years of significant gains. The market advanced despite the earthquake in Japan, political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, and only moderate improvement in the U.S. economy. We

believe the gains were fueled by the massive amount of liquidity in the global financial system. The Federal Reserve has added nearly $500 billion to the U.S. economy over the past few months through purchases of Treasury securities, and short-term interest rates remain near zero. In addition, the Bank of Japan has been flooding its money markets with cash in an effort to stabilize the Japanese economy following the earthquake.

Thanks to the generally strong earnings of our companies, the Fund was able to keep pace with the buoyant micro cap market. The year-over-year earnings growth rate of our companies was higher than 25% in the most recent reporting quarter and better than we expected. Comparisons were still relatively easy, since earnings were below-trend a year ago when the economy was weaker. However, comparisons were not as easy as they had been in previous quarters, and investors recognized the strong operating performance of many of our companies.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The top contributors in the Fund were companies that reported substantial earnings growth and surprised Wall Street with the strength of the current quarter, forward guidance or both. They included IPG Photonics Corp., Interactive Intelligence, Inc. and Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. Each of these stocks gained more than 35%.

IPG Photonics makes fiber lasers that are used in a broad range of industrial applications. Fiber lasers are quickly taking market share from legacy lasers because of the advantages they offer, such as their higher-quality beams, smaller size and lower cost. IPG Photonics is the only major player in the fiber laser market, and we believe the company has a multi-year lead over potential competitors in terms of its technology and cost structure. The amount of operating leverage in the business has been much higher than expected, and margins and earnings are increasing at a rapid rate.

Interactive Intelligence provides Internet Protocol (IP)-based telephone systems to the call center and general enterprise markets. The company is benefiting from the migration from PBX-based systems to IP-based systems, which offer better functionality. Interactive Intelligence is seeing strong momentum in sales and earnings, driven by its success at winning large deals. The company signed 19

contracts that were over $1 million in 2010, compared to nine such contracts in 2009. We have owned the stock for nearly five years. During that time, we have watched Interactive Intelligence work its way up from a niche competitor to a viable market leader.

Computer Programs and Systems provides software and information technology (IT) services to small hospitals across the country. Its revenues are accelerating as a result of the economic stimulus package that was enacted in February 2009. As part of the package, the government is offering hospitals and doctors financial incentives to digitize their medical records. Beginning in 2015, those that aren’t using electronic records in a meaningful way will lose a portion of their Medicare funding. This mandate has created a nice tailwind of demand that we believe should last for several years.

HiSoft Technology International Ltd. ADS was the biggest detractor in the Fund. HiSoft is a U.S.-listed Chinese firm that provides IT services, such as software testing and application maintenance. The company lowered earnings guidance after writing off a large receivable owed by a customer with cash flow problems. HiSoft generates nearly 25% of its revenues from Japan, so investors were also concerned about how the earthquake might affect its business. But the main issue during the quarter was that management lowered its margin outlook for 2011 after saying margins would be stable. This was especially disconcerting to new shareholders who had just participated in a secondary offering of the stock. Despite these developments, HiSoft is expected to post strong revenue and income growth in 2011, and we think its long-run growth story remains intact.

Oil prices topped $100 a barrel this quarter, and energy was the best-performing sector of the market. This negatively impacted the Fund’s performance given our minimal exposure to energy companies. In addition, our foreign-listed stocks produced a solid gain but lagged our domestic stocks. None of our foreign-listed names subtracted a disproportionate amount from the Fund’s return. We think their relative weakness just reflects the fact that the international markets have not been as strong as the U.S. market this year.

OUTLOOK

As noted earlier, there are a number of geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges facing the stock market. In this dynamic environment, we feel positive about the quality and growth of our portfolio companies. While earnings growth is likely to slow over the next few quarters as comparisons become more difficult, it should remain strong. Valuations are not as attractive as they once were given the run-up in the market. But if price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples hold steady, and we capture the earnings growth we are expecting, we believe the Fund should do well.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH MICRO CAP VALUE FUND (WAMVX) — Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

The Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Brian Bythrow.

OVERVIEW

 

After a strong end to 2010, the U.S. equity markets continued to experience healthy gains in the first quarter of 2011, though at a more moderate pace than in the previous quarter. This upward trend was at times surprising, given that signs of an economic recovery remained mixed, and dramatic events in Japan, the Middle East, and North Africa presented the potential for economic disruption.

Thanks in large part to the Federal Reserve’s continued easy money policy, U.S. stocks once again outpaced most international markets, a number of which corrected in the wake of interest rate increases and other inflation-fighting measures by the central banks. For the quarter, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund gained 4.46%. This placed it behind its primary benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index, which returned 6.80% over the same period.

Our international stocks played a significant role in the Fund’s underperformance in the quarter. We consider this positioning to be an important part of our long-term strategy, even if it has had hindered performance over the past several months. That’s because a number of international markets, particularly in emerging economies, offer much greater potential for long-term growth than the mature U.S. market. Another factor in our underperformance is that the benchmark has been largely driven by fast-growth — and often pricey — momentum stocks. Although our sensitivity to valuation has cut into the Fund’s short-term performance, we feel it draws us to stocks offering more deliberate, steadier growth and better long-term return potential.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

While no single trend unified our strong performers for the period, a number of companies that contributed positively to performance came from the information technology sector. Top contributor Silicon Graphics International Corp. followed an uneven 2010 with strong performance in this year’s first quarter. It was able to soar past earnings estimates thanks to surging demand for supercomputing equipment from private industry and the military. We felt the stock had become overvalued and sold out of our position.

Interactive Intelligence, Inc., a provider of software systems used to improve the efficiency of call centers, didn’t see its share price rise as dramatically as SGI’s, but posted solid returns as the company continued to enjoy good sales and take market share from competitors. We feel valuation remains relatively reasonable, despite strong performance, and Interactive Intelligence appears to have some potential to be an acquisition target down the road.

Among our more intriguing additions to the portfolio over the quarter was MedQuist Holdings, Inc., a company that applies voice-recognition software (along with offshore personnel) to the field of medical transcription. Although the company was once a market darling, it fell way out of favor and thus we were able to pick up the stock at what we felt was an inexpensive price. As investors have once again recognized the benefits of cost savings, improved efficiency, and better reporting that the company’s systems offer, MedQuist has started to recapture their attention. In an increasingly cost-conscious medical environment, we believe MedQuist’s systems and services are well positioned for future growth.

The performance of our weakest stocks was generally driven by external factors, rather than problems inherent to the companies themselves. Indian textile maker S. Kumars Nationwide Ltd., for example, was hurt as the Indian equity market sold off due to concerns about rising interest rates and other market-wide factors. The company’s products are primarily used in the manufacture of men’s suits. As such, we believe it is well positioned to benefit over the long term from the growth of India’s consumer class. However, given the many issues weighing on that market, we elected to trim back our position in this and some of our other Indian holdings.

Japan’s earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear power plant damage took down another of our holdings, GSE Systems, Inc. The company designs simulation systems used in the development of new nuclear power plants. It had seemed the company would benefit from increasing global demand for energy and from a move away from fossil fuel powered plants. Of course, recent events in Japan have reawakened concerns about the risks of nuclear power, likely taking new nuclear plants — and much of the need for GSE’s work — off the drawing board for some years to come. In this case, it seemed wisest to sell out of the position and move on. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

Even after the equity markets’ strong run, we believe that most of the stocks in our portfolio are still reasonably priced, which gives them considerable upside potential and may insulate them to some degree during periods of volatility. So even if our value-based approach hasn’t been entirely to our advantage in this momentum-driven quarter, we continue to believe it positions us well for the longer term.

We remain enthusiastic about our portfolio of small companies that we believe offer innovative products, have solid business plans surrounding those products, and are led by strong management teams that can execute those plans successfully. In the months to come, we believe that, particularly in light of the hefty valuations among growth stocks, the market’s eye may turn to value stocks once again. A number of our companies may also find themselves targeted for acquisition by larger companies looking for these same attractive qualities.

WASATCH SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND (WAAEX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Jeff Cardon.

Jeff Cardon, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund gained 6.53% in the first quarter of 2011. The Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index rose 9.24% and 7.94%, respectively. The S&P 500 Index was up 5.92%.

Information technology has been the best-performing sector in the Fund since the stock market bottomed in March 2009. Following such strong performance, many of our biggest

winners have become expensive. Consequently, we have been de-risking the portfolio by trimming and eliminating positions in technology companies, as well as other types of companies, whose valuations are stretched. We began taking profits in late 2010 and stepped up our trading in the new year. Overall, our technology holdings posted a double-digit gain this quarter and made a large contribution to return. However, the lowering of our technology weight had a negative impact on performance given the continued strength in the sector.

Industrial and energy stocks have done well so far this year, reflecting an improvement in global economic growth. Energy stocks got an additional boost from the spike in oil prices caused by turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We continue to research companies in cyclical and commodity-oriented sectors of the market. That said, we have had difficulty finding high-quality, commodity-related companies capable of delivering steady and strong earnings growth over long periods of time.

Most international indices are trailing the U.S. indices year-to-date, with emerging markets producing the smallest gains. This was a headwind for our foreign-listed stocks, which underperformed our domestic holdings. These relatively weaker market returns are partly due to rising inflation, which has an outsized impact on economic activity in emerging countries. In addition, the incredible amount of negative news this quarter, including the Japanese earthquake and Middle East unrest, appears to have created an appetite for U.S. equities as a safe haven from these events.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Technology stocks dominated the list of top contributors this quarter. Notable performers included Ultimate Software Group, Inc., LoopNet, Inc. and VistaPrint N.V. All three of these companies have business models that use the power of the Internet to disrupt old ways of delivering services. As part of our effort to reduce valuation risk in the sector, we sold F5 Networks, Inc. and cut our position in Riverbed Technology, Inc., both enablers of “cloud computing.” We also sold OpenTable, Inc., an Internet-based provider of restaurant reservations. In our opinion, these companies still have very compelling growth opportunities, but valuations are stretched.

Copart, Inc. was another strong performer. Copart provides auto salvage auction services to a variety of buyers and sellers, including insurance companies and recyclers. We consider it to be a very high-quality company with a 10% to 12% long-run growth opportunity. It is not the kind of stock you would expect to outperform in a market where investors are seeking risk. The company recently completed a successful tender offer, repurchasing almost 15% of its outstanding shares. This unusual and accretive action was viewed favorably by investors and helped Copart’s stock perform surprisingly well.

Many of our weakest holdings were in the consumer discretionary sector — names like hhgregg, Inc., Hibbett Sports, Inc., Life Time Fitness, Inc. and O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. These and other consumer stocks were hurt by concerns that rising gas prices and falling home values would dampen discretionary spending.

Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc. also underperformed. Orexigen Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on treating obesity. The stock fell sharply after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rejected its lead weight-loss drug. The FDA is currently behaving conservatively toward granting new drug approvals. We were surprised by the decision given the tremendous cost to society of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes. The rejection was a major setback for Orexigen, and we sold the stock. We owned a small position, consistent with our approach to allocating minimal capital to biotechnology companies given the inherent riskiness of their business models. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

The U.S. economy is clearly improving, corporate balance sheets are healthy and emerging economies remain vibrant. However, debt at all levels of government is high, both in the United States and especially in Europe. The MENA region is unstable, and it is impossible to predict the future direction of events.

In this kind of volatile environment, we are particularly glad we are bottom-up stock pickers who don’t rely on predicting macroeconomic and global events. Our focus, as always, is to find high-quality growth companies and own them as long as the fundamentals are in place, and as long as valuations provide a proper risk-adjusted return. The fundamentals of our portfolio companies look very good heading into the rest of the year. The weighted-average earnings growth of our portfolio companies was 26% in the most recent reporting quarter, and they are on track to deliver mid- to high-teens growth during the balance of 2011. As noted earlier, valuations are stretched in certain sectors of the market, which has led us to raise more cash than normal. However, our cash position should work its way down as we work hard to identify interesting new names to add to the Fund.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH SMALL CAP VALUE FUND (WMCVX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

The Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Jim Larkins.

OVERVIEW

 

The first three months of the year brought challenges for the financial markets, including turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa, surging energy prices, and tragedy in Japan. For investors, these events underscored the increasing linkage of global markets and the unsettling ripple effects from “black swans” such as revolutions and natural disasters.

In this turbulent environment, the

Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund gained 7.42% and outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index, which gained 6.60%. We attribute this to buying what we believe are quality stocks whose current values don’t reflect their potential for growth. One benefit of investing in higher-quality companies is that we can feel comfortable using share price weakness to establish positions at attractive levels. This strategy has allowed us to capitalize on market volatility, rather than being hurt by it.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Stock selection and overall positioning helped the Fund in the quarter. We benefited from an overweight position and solid performance in the industrials sector and an underweight position in the lagging financials sector. Within industrials, Copart, Inc., a provider of vehicle salvage services, generated strong performance. Our trucking stocks Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. and Vitran Corp., Inc. also did well. Removal of capacity in the trucking industry has created a more favorable environment for the surviving companies.

In the financials sector, the Fund benefited from our decision to sell some banking stocks in late 2010 after they became expensive. We continue to see a lack of compelling value opportunities in financials, but are looking at the sector carefully so we will be prepared to take advantage of price weakness.

Our “Fallen Angels” strategy added substantial value. As mentioned in past communications, “Fallen Angels” is our term for one-time growth stocks that have stumbled and fallen into value territory. Three such stocks made strong contributions to the Fund this quarter. Notable among them was Polycom, Inc., which surged over 30%. Video conferencing and unified communications are hot areas, and Polycom has rebounded from its early-2009 lows as its competitor Cisco Systems, Inc.* has struggled to integrate its acquisition of Tandberg.

American Reprographics Co. provides blueprints and blueprint-related services to construction companies, and is a one-time fallen angel that was held in Wasatch growth portfolios. When its stock price plunged during the credit crisis, we bought shares near market lows using the institutional memory within Wasatch. ARC shares have since rebounded in anticipation of an improving economy.

The third major contributor among our Fallen Angels was Chico’s FAS, Inc., an apparel retailer we initially purchased in late 2010. Chico’s is a classic fallen angel story — it had one of the most spectacular track records in the history of retail until it hit a wall a few years ago. Wasatch’s history with the company, as a former growth holding, gave us important perspective when making the decision to purchase shares once Chico’s new management team demonstrated its talent at executing a turnaround.

Our position in Allegiant Travel Co. proved to be a disappointment. While Allegiant is often recognized as one of the world’s most profitable airlines, its primary customer — the leisure traveler — has been negatively impacted by the sluggish economy. This issue, combined with rising fuel costs, caused Allegiant’s earnings growth to stall. Nevertheless, we believe the company will be able to revive its earnings growth.

Other detractors included China Valves Technology, Inc., which we sold after a controversy related to corporate governance practices, and Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp., a retailer that has struggled to gain momentum even as certain competitors have continued to grow. Despite this handful of misses, we are pleased with the overall effectiveness of our stock selection. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

With the broader market having come so far since the third quarter of 2010, we have gradually moved to a more cautious, valuation-centric approach. Part of this process involved our decision to reduce weightings in stocks that had surpassed our fair value estimates. Many of these were energy and materials companies. In some cases, we sold these positions too early and missed some upside. However, we believe it is important to maintain strict valuation discipline in stocks linked to commodity prices, even if we continue to hold a positive view on the underlying companies. We have increased our research efforts in these areas, and feel well prepared to buy should prices come back down.

At the same time, we have maintained our long-standing approach of buying former growth companies that have fallen to attractive valuation levels. Recent purchases included companies in the optical networking space and a couple of consumer discretionary firms.

Another element of our approach has been to keep positions in core, long-term holdings that we view as higher-quality companies offering upside potential and defensive characteristics.

Through these recent shifts, we feel we have maintained attractive overall valuation, boosted the Fund’s growth profile, and raised the quality of our holdings. Our cash position is higher than normal, but we expect to work it down as we see weakness in the stock prices of companies we’re watching. We believe this approach will hold us in good stead regardless of the direction the broader market takes as we move through 2011.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH STRATEGIC INCOME FUND (WASIX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

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

Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

Political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, burdensome government budget deficits in the U.S. and Europe, and a tragic natural disaster in Japan dominated news headlines during the first quarter, yet the S&P 500 continued to march forward.

Somewhat surprisingly, given our defensive positioning, the 7.44% return of the Wasatch Strategic Income Fund outperformed the 5.92% gain of the S&P 500 Index for the quarter — the

S&P 500’s third consecutive quarter with an increase of more than five percent. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a modest 0.42% gain for the quarter.

Despite being underweight in some of the market’s hottest sectors because of quality or valuation concerns, the Fund performed quite well. The Fund is focused on high quality companies trading at good values, which have a willingness and ability to pay a growing dividend. It’s a strategy that I would normally expect to trail the market in bullish environments, and to potentially outperform during pullbacks. One of the drivers of the Fund’s recent outperformance is that investors are increasingly looking for yield. As of March 31, 2011, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.50%,* well above that of the S&P 500.

As the market continues to advance, I have become even more vigilant concerning the valuations of the Fund’s holdings and I am selectively trimming our exposure accordingly. Even with the strong market advance, the Fund does not feel overvalued to me, as price-to-earnings ratios (P/Es) and other valuation metrics remain reasonable for our holdings.

I’m pleased to report that in February the Fund reached its five-year anniversary. Given the Fund’s goal of generating a total return between stocks and bonds with lower risk than a typical equity portfolio, the Fund has done better than I expected — actually outperforming the S&P 500 over 1-, 3- and 5-year time periods as of March 31, 2011. I believe our success has been partly due to Wasatch’s disciplined investment process utilizing good hands-on research.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. was the Fund’s top performing stock during the quarter with a 76% increase. Valeant has proven to be adept at selecting and integrating merger targets. Their large integration with Biovail last fall has been going well and is being recognized by investors. Investors also seem to now be placing an expected value on the company’s current initiative to acquire Cephalon and its attractive drug pipeline.

Herbalife Ltd., a network marketing company that offers nutritional supplements, also delivered strong returns during the quarter. The company is successfully shifting their

customers from traditional multi-level marketing into a daily consumption model that has boosted recurring revenue and earnings growth.

Included among our financial stocks are several mortgage REITs which have performed particularly well in the current low interest rate environment. They are paying double-digit yields, yet we believe their price-to-book values (an important valuation tool for these firms) remain reasonable.

Microsoft Corp. and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. were down slightly during the quarter, but neither had meaningful news and my investment thesis remains in place.

The Fund’s largest detractor during the quarter was Brazil’s Banco Daycoval, which I sold early in the period. I remain optimistic about the increasing financial needs of Brazil’s growing middle class and I used the proceeds to purchase Itau Unibanco Banco Holding, which I believe is a better-positioned Brazilian bank.

We also purchased a stake of investment manager BlackRock, Inc. this quarter. I believe BlackRock is a top quality firm with great diversification, led by a superb management team, and which pays a healthy and growing dividend. Its stock is also notably undervalued compared to some of its public competitors. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

While the domestic market advance during the quarter was primarily a result of improving economic signals, I was still surprised at the markets’ strength given the short- and long-term challenges we continue to face, including:

  Ÿ  

Stubbornly high U.S. unemployment

  Ÿ  

Soaring commodity prices

  Ÿ  

Our large and growing public debt

While I’m cautiously optimistic that tough choices will be made to improve global economic prospects, I will continue to try to position the Fund to err on the cautious side in order to reduce downside risk. I will also keep a close eye on valuations and hold our companies to a high quality bar. I’m finding that many blue chip, large cap stocks in particular are still attractively priced and should have the pricing power to maintain profit margins in an inflationary environment.

I would be surprised to see the bull market continue its frothy expansion. I believe investors ought to prepare themselves for more modest returns than we have recently seen. Although the global economic meltdown was averted, myriad uncertainties remain. By focusing our investment selections on high quality companies that are able and willing to pay increasing dividends, and by closely managing the risk exposure of the Fund, I believe we are well positioned to deliver against the Fund’s objective.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH ULTRA GROWTH FUND (WAMCX) Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

The Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan.

 

LOGO

 

Ajay Krishnan, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund gained 6.48% in the first quarter of 2011. U.S. equity markets also posted solid gains over the period, despite disruptive global events, rising energy prices, and tepid economic data. The Fund underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 9.24% for the quarter.

With few exceptions, companies held by the Fund recorded healthy levels of

earnings growth. This, along with a sustained high level of liquidity among investors, has been reflected in rising price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples, and has significantly increased the level of risk in the equity markets.

Negative news regarding two holdings played a role in the Fund’s underperformance for the period. Our underexposure to the strong-performing energy sector, and the relatively weak performance of some of our energy holdings, also contributed to underperformance.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

A number of our top performers over the past three months are emerging as leaders in newer areas of technological innovation. Our top contributor for the quarter, IPG Photonics Corp., is also indicative of the strong earnings growth experienced by many of our holdings over the period. The company manufactures fiber-optic lasers that are used in industry. This newer laser technology operates at a slightly lower cost per watt than traditional CO2 lasers, but generates even greater savings through its much lower cost for maintenance and upkeep. Fiber-optic lasers in general, and IPG in particular, are making great strides in gaining market share over CO2 lasers, which helped the company to blow out its earnings estimates for the quarter. Investors’ enthusiastic response drove the stock’s valuation up significantly.

Another top contributor, OPNET Technologies, Inc., has benefited from the move toward cloud computing, a model whereby software and services are provided over the Internet, or “cloud.” Although cloud-based systems can provide greater flexibility and capacity than fixed-location server networks, when problems arise, they can be more challenging for companies’ IT departments to diagnose and resolve. OPNET provides products and services to help IT technicians monitor, manage, and improve the performance of their cloud-based systems. As these products have grown to account for more of OPNET’s overall business, the company’s revenues and earnings have grown. Furthermore, as investors have recognized OPNET’s larger presence in this fast-growing portion of the information technology (IT) sector, the company has enjoyed P/E multiple expansion.

Not every innovation necessarily works out as hoped for. A disappointing development with respect to a new obesity drug led to a steep decline in the stock price of Orexigen

Therapeutics, Inc., our greatest detractor for the period. It previously looked like the company’s new drug was on track for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In an unexpected turn of events, an additional large-scale study to measure the cardiac effects of the drug was requested prior to approval in a letter received from the FDA in February. We substantially reduced our position in Orexigen based on this news, though we retained a small position, as the company has not yet met with the FDA to discuss the details of the study.

Another detractor from performance was one of the few examples we saw this quarter of a company posting disappointing earnings. HiSoft Technology International Ltd., a China-based IT outsourcing company we hold through American Depositary Shares (ADS), saw earnings fall short of expectations and its share price decline after it had to take a writedown of a sizable receivable. This was somewhat surprising given that management had claimed to have a good picture of clients’ ability to pay their bills. Management also indicated that despite this development profit margins were stable, but in the end they declined modestly.

Both of these events undermined HiSoft’s credibility. We view the recent problems more as bumps in the road than indicators of long-term distress. Going forward, HiSoft’s management will need to show investors that they can successfully execute their business plan and avoid future issues with receivables. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

OUTLOOK

We remain cautious with respect to consumers, and to companies that largely rely on spending to produce earnings growth. We anticipate that capital spending rather than consumer activity will ultimately drive the economic recovery. Companies appear to remain reluctant to hire in great numbers, and newer technologies are making it easier for them to produce more with fewer employees.

With pockets of over-valuation now in evidence in many areas of the market, we’re taking steps to manage the level of risk in the Fund. We’ve trimmed positions in a number of stronger-performing, higher-multiple stocks and have removed a few smaller positions altogether. In this environment, we find some encouragement in the fact that a few of our larger positions, including Silicon Laboratories, Inc. and Power Integrations, Inc., were down slightly for the past quarter. We believe both of these companies are positioned to post good results as the year progresses, and less-expensive valuations give their share prices room to move. In addition, we believe the overall quality of our portfolio companies is quite high and the fundamental outlook positive. Valuation is the main risk we see.

As we consider new holdings for the Fund, we will continue to pay careful attention to quality and valuation, looking for opportunities to add holdings at prices that leave room for appreciation.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

As of the January 31, 2011 prospectus, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund are 1.46%. The expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report may be different. Expenses include direct expenses paid to the Advisor as well as indirect expenses incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments in other investment companies (each an “Acquired Fund”), before any expense reimbursements by the Advisor. Net Expenses are based on Fund expenses, net of waivers and reimbursements. See the prospectus for additional information regarding Fund expenses.

Wasatch Funds will deduct a 2.00% redemption proceeds fee on Fund shares held 60 days or less. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of fees or taxes, which if reflected, would reduce the performance quoted. For more complete information including charges, risks and expenses, read the prospectus carefully.

Investing in small cap funds will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large cap or more diversified funds.

WASATCH-1ST SOURCE INCOME FUND (FMEQX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011

Paul W. Gifford, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund returned 0.14% during the first quarter. Over the same period, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returned 0.34%. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds traded between 3.2% and 3.75% during the quarter. This was the second quarter in a row that interest rates rose. Bond prices dropped due to higher rates, but this was offset by

spreads that tightened versus Treasuries in most sectors of the bond market.

As the quarter ended, two current events and an upcoming event will affect the taxable bond market. The current events are the tragedy in Japan and revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The upcoming event is the end of the second phase of quantitative easing (QE2) started by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in the fourth quarter of 2010.

The estimated economic toll on Japan could be $300 billion, more than four times larger than Hurricane Katrina, and will likely grow due to lost nuclear power and as clean-up costs rise. Global impact will be more focused on industries that rely on Japanese exports, particularly the automotive and technology industries. Lost production at Toyota and Honda is expected to exceed 40,000 cars. The circuit boards inside many computers and other electronic gadgets are manufactured in Japan, and bottlenecks could potentially slow production worldwide as companies scramble to get plants back online and/or locate alternative suppliers. We expect many of the short-term disruptions to be corrected in the second quarter, with growth in Japan’s gross domestic product (GDP) resuming in the third.

The impact on the Fund could be twofold. The first is related to how the Japanese yen, which rallied fiercely in the face of the country’s challenges, performs longer term. A weak dollar would help U.S. exporters. The caveat is the potential for successful intervention by central banks to halt the rise of the yen. Second, the U.S. Treasury market could be impacted. Japan owns hundreds of billions of dollars of Treasuries and will likely buy fewer bonds to free up cash for reconstruction. Japan could conceivably become a large seller, causing interest rates here to rise. So far both markets have had only modest moves but reconstruction is not expected to get fully underway for another month or two.

Societal and governmental change in the MENA region may end up having far greater impact on the global economy and our pocketbooks. Tunisia and Egypt have already seen changes in leadership sparked by protesters. In Libya, General Gaddafi’s refusal to give up power in the face of growing opposition and instead choosing to attack the Libyan people prompted NATO intervention via air strikes and a no-fly zone. Uncertainty in the region has driven crude oil and gasoline prices up on speculation of reduced supplies. Libya provides “only” 2% of the world’s supply, or 1.5 million barrels per day, primarily to Europe and Asia.

We have already seen the impact of these revolutions at the gas pump. Prices per gallon have jumped from $0.70 to $1.00 across the U.S. So far the U.S. economy has continued to grow and the added jobs and income have cushioned the negative fuel price impact. While we see gas prices as increasing temporarily due to political events, the timing being near the summer travel season may dampen plans for some vacationers. A prolonged period of higher prices (i.e., $4 to $5 per gallon) would be a significant drag on economic activity here as consumers retrench their discretionary spending. We are generally overweight in the energy sector to hedge against potential outcomes.

The impact on the fixed income market would be on one hand related to inflation and higher yields. The Fund holds just over a 2% weighting in U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities to protect against inflation. We are maintaining the Fund with an effective duration shorter than its benchmark but would need to shift quickly if a prolonged economic slowdown appeared to be materializing.

During the quarter, our larger transactions were generally in U.S. Government Agency bonds. Many of these securities have call options at the discretion of the Agency. Low interest rates in short maturities make it easy to refinance the bonds. The advantage to the Fund of owning such bonds is higher yield earned to the call dates. This yield advantage is particularly important in an environment of low interest rates.

Near quarter-end, mortgage bonds with short final maturities became more attractively priced compared to U.S. Government Agency bonds and we were able to purchase some GNMA securities. Second, we also added to positions in floating rate mortgages. We are slowly moving toward a time when the Fed will need to raise rates and these types of bonds should experience a rise in coupon and better preservation of price versus fixed rate bonds. Lastly, we added to a few corporate bonds that looked attractive, including Bank of America, Verizon and Astrazenca. We also added two names brought to us from our equity team’s research — Nucor and Thermo Fisher.

Bond fund redemptions slowed during the quarter after large withdrawals in November and December. A continued strong stock market could cause assets to shift from bonds to stocks, a trend we will be watching. We expect to maintain less interest rate risk than the benchmark and a focus on higher credit quality.

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

WASATCH-HOISINGTON U.S. TREASURY FUND (WHOSX)Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

LOGO

 

Van R. Hoisington

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

If the objectives of Quantitative Easing part 2 (QE2) were to: a) raise interest rates; b) slow economic growth; c) encourage speculation; and d) eviscerate the standard of living of the average American family, then it has been enormously successful. These results represent the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) impact on the U.S. economy, regardless of its claims to the contrary.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund registered a negative return of 2.18% in the first quarter. However, over the past year the Fund performed well, posting a 7.58% return compared to a 5.12% return for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Since inception and for the past 5- and 10-years, the Fund has outperformed this benchmark. Over the past 5- and 10-years the Fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index by 2.4 and 3.2 percentage points, respectively.

OUTLOOK

By definition, the massive increase in the Fed’s balance sheet encourages speculation and lifts the fear of inflation. Banks have had few customers who wish to borrow for productive means. Bank credit has been falling since 2008 when the Fed-induced housing bubble burst. However, large hedge funds and other financial investors/speculators have an inexhaustible supply of credit to underwrite derivatives and leverage to anticipate and profit from the inflationary atmosphere the Fed seems to be attempting to engineer.

In the past two years, M2 rose 6% while total reserves jumped 85%. But this does not mean that unused reserve balances had no influence on prices, and in particular on commodity prices. In a world of advanced derivatives, high cash balances are not required to take speculative positions, only margin requirements need to be satisfied. With reserve balances at unprecedented levels, margin risk is minimized for market participants wishing to take positions consistent with the Fed’s goal of higher inflation and having either direct or indirect access to the Fed’s mammoth reserve balances, which can satisfy margin requirements.

These activities, while profitable to speculators in the short run, slow real economic activity in several ways. First, the rising interest rate environment also raises mortgage rates. Of course this means more marginal buyers are priced out of the market and unable to purchase homes, resulting in another leg down in terms of sales and price. Second, the prospect of consumers’ largest asset moving lower in price hardly inspires greater willingness to spend.

Third, speculation encouraged by the Fed has led to near record margin debt in the stock exchanges, and has raised stock prices, benefiting the upper income segment of society. Further, open-ended credit lines for speculation have helped lift commodity prices dramatically during QE2, just as they did during the first round of quantitative easing.

Commodity and stock price movements are susceptible to a myriad of demand/supply factors that include cartels, war and weather. But the speculation created by QE2 suggests financial players are aiding and abetting normal price movements. Evidence of this is the Commitment of Traders Report, which indicates record speculation. Also, supply disruptions have not been evident in the gold and silver market, which suggests that speculation is a dominant force in two of the markets where price increases have been most rapid.

The combination of a rise in interest rates, stock prices, and food and fuel commodity prices has reduced disposable personal income, depressed the net worth of the average American family as home prices have fallen, and caused consumption to slow, increasing the income divide between higher and lower income Americans.

In the six months since Fed chairman Ben Bernanke announced QE2, real average hourly earnings declined by a sharp 2.1% as inflation accelerated. Not surprisingly, the University of Michigan and Gallup confidence measures in March fell back to 2009 levels. Real consumer expenditures moderated sharply.

Incomplete first quarter gross domestic product (GDP) calculations indicate that real growth has not been any better in the past six months than in the two quarters prior to QE2. Inflation, however, was sharply higher. Such results are a replay of the 1960s and 1970s in that the general welfare materially worsened.

The minimal historical record on massive Fed intervention indicates that as QE2 terminates at its scheduled end on June 30th, the inflation/risk trade will also fade. Accordingly, it is likely that investors will gradually move into Treasury securities and other high-grade risk adverse investments. This will release funds for the mortgage market and creditworthy state and local governments. Upward pressure on commodity prices will abate, mitigating the downward pressure on real wage income and consumer confidence.

While the economy will slow initially, the drop in inflation over time should lift real income and serve to stabilize the economy. The dollar should firm, encouraging foreign investors to place additional funds in U.S. markets. Taken together, these factors should give the economy the opportunity to stand on its own, rather than rely on massive government interventions whose potentially negative and unintended consequences are unknown.

The evidence of the past three years seems clear in that monetary and fiscal policy have been unable to improve the average American’s standard of living. Time will be required to reestablish their balance sheets to more normal levels. In the interim, the economy may tend toward disinflation, if not deflation. This environment may prove favorable for long-dated Treasuries such as those in which the Fund invests. Positioning for an inflation boom will likely be disappointing.

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

WASATCH FUNDS MANAGEMENT  DISCUSSIONS — Definitions of Financial  Terms   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

Book value is the value of a security or asset entered in a company’s books.

A bull market is defined as a prolonged period in which investment prices rise faster than their historical average. Bull markets can happen as the result of an economic recovery, an economic boom, or investor psychology.

A covered call is a financial market transaction in which the seller of call options owns the corresponding amount of the underlying instrument, such as shares of a stock or other securities.

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 National Mortgage Association (GNMA, also known as Ginnie Mae) is a U.S. government-owned corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA is one of several government agencies permitted to issue debt for sale to the investing public.

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.

M2 money supply consists of currency and checking accounts, consumer-type time and savings accounts and

equivalent near monies, while M3 money supply consists of M2 plus business-type time deposits and less liquid near monies. Both M2 and M3 exclude monies and near monies owned by the Treasury, depository institutions and foreign banks and official institutions and IRA and Keogh balances owned by consumers.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) promotes policies intended to improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world.

The price-to-book ratio is used to compare a company’s book value to its current market price.

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.

Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity. QE2 is the nickname for the second round of quantitative easing announced by Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Ben Bernanke in November 2010 whereby the Fed would buy billions of dollars in long-term U.S. Treasury securities in an effort to jump start the sluggish economic recovery.

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. You cannot invest directly in this or any index.

The 30-day current net (“SEC”) yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30 days ended on the date of calculation by the maximum offering price per share on that 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.

U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, also known as TIPS, are securities whose principal is tied to the Consumer Price Index. With inflation, the principal increases. With deflation, it decreases. When the security matures, the U.S. Treasury pays the original or adjusted principal, whichever is greater.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company.

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

WASATCH FUNDS — OPERATING EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

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 March 31, 2011.

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 March 31, 2011. 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 Long/Short and Income funds have no contractual limitation on expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION

Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts Business Trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and consists of 17 series or “funds” (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Science & Technology Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund (formerly Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund), Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Ultra Growth Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund (“Income Fund”) (sub-advised), and Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (“U.S. Treasury Fund”) (sub-advised) are each diversified funds. The Global Opportunities Fund and Long/Short Fund (formerly Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund) are non-diversified funds. Each Fund maintains its own investment objective. The Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement with Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Wasatch”) as investment advisor.

The Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Global Science & Technology Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Long/Short Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Strategic Income Fund and Ultra Growth Fund are referred to herein as the “Equity Funds.”

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant policies related to investments of the Funds held at March 31, 2011. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

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.

At March 31, 2011, the foreign currencies held by the Funds were as follows (amounts in U.S. dollars):

Investment in Securities and Related Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. 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 their 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 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 security 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 Statement 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 and 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

Table of Contents
WASATCH FUNDSNotes to Financial Statements (continued)  
 
 

 

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 Large Cap Value, Long/Short, Strategic Income, 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.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Fees, Expense Limitations — 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 certain Funds should a Fund’s operating expenses exceed a specified annual limitation through at least January 31, 2012. If operating expenses are less than the specified expense limit for the Fund, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of the fees waived or reduced to the extent that the operating expenses and the amount reimbursed do not exceed such expense limit for the Fund, under the period of the agreement (currently the period for the 22 months commencing April 1, 2010 or for the 12 months commencing January 31, 2011). Such reimbursement shall be paid only while the expense limitation agreement is in effect and only if such amount paid, together with all other amounts reimbursed under this agreement in the fiscal year, does not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation. All amounts not recovered at the end of the period expire on 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 determined that the costs of the Proxy Statement related to the identification and shareholder approval of Director Nominees were extraordinary expenses. The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights. Investment advisory fees and fees waived, if any, for the period ended March 31, 2011 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 period ended March 31, 2011, the Funds below engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act:

Payments by Former Service Provider — BISYS Fund Services, Inc. (“BISYS”) is a former service provider to the Large Cap Value Fund, Long/Short Fund, and 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). The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights.

10. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

11. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Funds may own investments that were purchased through private placement transactions or under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and cannot be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act or may be limited due to certain restrictions. 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. If and when such securities are registered, the costs of registering such securities are paid by the issuer. At March 31, 2011, the Funds held the following restricted securities:

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 a fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by the Fund.

For the period ended March 31, 2011, 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. In some instances, particularly on foreign exchanges, an official close or evaluated price may be used if the pricing service is unable to provide the last trade or most recent bid price. 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 (see Note 16). 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 values 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 generally apply equally to long or short equity positions in a Fund. However, if there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a given day for a short equity position, then the security is valued at the most recent ask price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service.

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 the 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 March 31, 2011 in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities:

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value for the period ended March 31, 2011 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

The Funds have recategorized securities that can be converted by the Funds at any time, without limitation, into securities with an active market price since they are not identical securities. This recategorization has resulted in significant transfers from level 1 to level 2.

BOARD APPROVAL FOR ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on November 9 - 10, 2010 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory and Service Contract (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) on behalf of each series of the Trust (each a “Fund”); the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Hoisington Investment Management Company (“HIMCO”) on behalf of the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (the “U.S. Treasury Fund”); and the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc. (“1st Source”) on behalf of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) (the foregoing sub-advisory agreements are each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and HIMCO and 1st Source are each a “Sub-Advisor”).

In preparation for their role in the evaluation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in Executive Session on November 2, 2010 (Mr. Croft participated via telephone at this session) and November 9, 2010. At these Board Meetings and Executive Sessions, they were joined by independent legal counsel. In addition to these Executive Sessions, the Independent Trustees also met at their quarterly meetings as well as at other times between the quarterly meetings with management. In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees took into account the information provided and the knowledge gained from these meetings. In advance of the November meetings, the Board and independent legal

counsel received materials and other information which outlined, among other things:

Ÿ  

the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, including the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor;

Ÿ  

the organization and business operations of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors, including the experience of persons who have managed and who will manage the respective Fund;

Ÿ  

the profitability of the Advisor from serving as advisor to the respective Fund (plus profitability analysis for advisors to unaffiliated investment companies);

Ÿ  

the management fees of the Advisor, including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable, unaffiliated funds prepared by an independent third party and the Advisor’s fees for other clients;

Ÿ  

the sub-advisory fees of each Sub-Advisor with respect to the U.S. Treasury Fund and Income Fund (including the respective Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule for other clients);

Ÿ  

the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons with the expense ratios of comparable, unaffiliated funds compiled by an independent third party; and

Ÿ  

the respective Fund’s past performance plus such Fund’s performance compared to funds of similar investment objectives compiled by independent third parties and with recognized benchmarks.

As the Independent Trustees reviewed the materials, they also requested in writing (through their independent legal counsel) and received supplemental information and responses to various questions. In addition to the material provided by the Advisor, the Independent Trustees also received from independent counsel a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Independent Trustees under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as well as the general principles of relevant state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the Board in voting on advisory agreements.

During the Executive Sessions noted above, the Independent Trustees met with independent legal counsel to discuss, among other things, the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the information provided, and the Independent Trustees’ duties in reviewing and approving advisory contracts. The Independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, also reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts. The information provided for the Meeting supplements the information the Board receives throughout the year regarding a Fund’s performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and sales activity. The Independent Trustees considered the legal advice provided by legal counsel, the material provided, and relied upon their knowledge of the Advisor, Sub-Advisors, the services provided and the Funds resulting from their

 

 

134


Table of Contents
  MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

meetings and other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in evaluating advisory agreements. Each Independent Trustee may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement and applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Trustees’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.

 

A.   NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisor’s services, the Independent Trustees reviewed information concerning the types of services (advisory and non-advisory or administrative services) that the Advisor and Sub-Advisors provide to the respective Fund; the performance record of the applicable Fund; and information describing the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisor’s organization and business. In connection with their service as Independent Trustees of the Trust, the Independent Trustees also periodically have met with the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisor’s personnel and have evaluated their professional experience, qualifications and credentials as well as their investment approach and research process. The Independent Trustees considered the compensation arrangements of portfolio managers to evaluate the ability of the Advisor to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance without providing an incentive for taking undue risks. In addition to the foregoing, in light of the regulatory emphasis on compliance, in reviewing the services that have been provided to a Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s and each Sub-Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history.

In their review of services, the Independent Trustees also evaluated the quality of administrative or non-advisory services provided. The terms of the Advisory Agreement provide that the Advisor shall administer the Trust’s affairs to the extent requested by and subject to the supervision of the Board for the period and terms of the contract. In this regard, the Advisor provides business, administrative, compliance, marketing and other services required to operate the Funds, such as assistance with preparation and filing of regulatory and tax reports, preparation and distribution of prospectuses and shareholder reports, provision of information to Fund trustees, analysis to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, valuation of portfolio securities, and oversight of the performance of the Funds’ service providers (e.g., administrator, fund accountant, transfer agent and custodian). The Advisor also pays for office space and facilities for each Fund.

With respect to the Sub-Advisors, it was noted that the Sub-Advisory Agreements are essentially agreements for portfolio management services only and the Sub-Advisors were not expected to supply other significant administrative services.

Based on their review, the Independent Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided

under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements were satisfactory on behalf of each applicable Fund.

 

B.   THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS

In evaluating each Fund’s performance, the Trustees reviewed both short-term and long-term performance of each Fund relative to its peer group and relevant benchmarks. More specifically, the Independent Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report prepared by an unaffiliated third party comparing the respective Fund’s total return for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five-, and 10-year periods ending August 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing time frame) compared to the performance of unaffiliated funds with similar investment objectives or classifications (a “Peer Group”) and a benchmark assigned by the unaffiliated third party (the “Benchmark”) for the prescribed periods. The Independent Trustees also reviewed materials reflecting the respective Fund’s historic performance for the quarter, one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing time frame together with the average annual return since inception for Funds with the shorter duration) compared to its respective benchmarks and unaffiliated funds in its investment category. In addition, the Independent Trustees received reports prepared by a second unaffiliated party, which generally included an analyst report on the respective Fund for the following Funds: Core Growth, Global Opportunities, Global Science & Technology, Heritage Growth, International Growth, International Opportunities, Large Cap Value (formerly Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund), Micro Cap, Micro Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, and Ultra Growth. This information supplemented the performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings as well as at other meetings or Executive Sessions during the year. Further, the Independent Trustees also recognized the limitations on some of the usefulness of the performance comparison information as the closest Peer Group for a Fund may not adequately reflect the Wasatch Fund’s investment strategies and may be invested in sectors or industries in which the respective Fund has limited or no exposure. Based on their review of performance, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s investment performance over time had been satisfactory, noting, in particular the following.

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund has had generally favorable performance outperforming the Benchmark for the one and two years ended August 31, 2010. The Core Growth Fund’s performance over time has been satisfactory outperforming its Benchmark in the 10-year period ended August 31, 2010 and providing generally comparable performance to its Benchmark for the shorter periods. Although the Global Opportunities Fund has only been operating for a short time; limiting a meaningful assessment of its performance, during the time available, the Fund had favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark for the one year ended August 31, 2010. Although the Global Science & Technology Fund has underperformed its

 

 

135


Table of Contents
WASATCH FUNDSSupplemental Information (continued)  
 
 

 

Benchmark in longer periods, the Fund had favorable performance for the one year ended August 31, 2010, outperforming the Benchmark. The Heritage Growth Fund has had generally favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark for each of the last four years ended August 31, 2010. The U.S. Treasury Fund continues to provide solid performance, outperforming the Benchmark for the one and two years ended August 31, 2010 and ranking in the first quintile of its performance peer universe for each of the past five years as well as the 10 years ended August 31, 2010. The International Growth, International Opportunities, and Micro Cap Value Funds had generally favorable performance, outperforming their respective Benchmark for each of the last five years ended August 31, 2010. Similarly, the Small Cap Growth Fund has had favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark for each of the last five years and for the 10 year period ended August 31, 2010. Although the Micro Cap Fund and Small Cap Value Fund each outperformed its respective Benchmark over the 10-year period, these Funds have underperformed their Benchmarks in more recent periods. The Board, however, continues to review with management the investment process, investment philosophy and initiatives taken to address performance issues and is satisfied with the steps taken but will continue to monitor performance. Although the Strategic Income Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the longer periods, the Fund improved its performance outperforming its Benchmark for the one year ended August 31, 2010. Although the Ultra Growth Fund has had some mixed results during its tenure, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark in the most recent one-, two-, and three-year periods ended August 31, 2010 as well as the 10-year period ended August 31, 2010. Although the Income Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one year ended August 31, 2010, the Income Fund’s performance has been satisfactory generally providing performance comparable to its Benchmark during longer periods. Although the Large Cap Value Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one and two years ended August 31, 2010, the Large Cap Value Fund has provided satisfactory performance outperforming the Benchmark over the longer periods. Similarly, although the Long/Short Fund underperformed its Benchmark in the one year period ended August 31, 2010, it outperformed the Benchmark in the longer periods.

 

C.   FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY

 

1. Fees and Expenses

The Independent Trustees considered the fees of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors. In their evaluation of fees and expenses, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Advisor’s management fees and expense ratios for each Fund in absolute terms as well as with comparisons of fees and expenses of funds with similar objectives. In this regard, the Independent Trustees reviewed and considered, among other things, comparisons of the respective Fund’s actual management fees, total expenses (including and excluding 12b-1/non-12b-1 service fees), and non-management expenses (such as transfer agency, custodian, administrative and accounting fees) with those of unaffiliated funds in its

Peer Group compiled by an independent third party as well as comparisons of the respective Fund’s management fees and net expense ratios with those of a custom peer group provided by the Advisor. In reviewing fees, the Independent Trustees also considered the expense limitation agreement provided by the Advisor for the Funds, the amounts the Advisor has reimbursed to the Funds for the last three fiscal years (if any) and any proposed changes to the expense limitation agreement (as described below). In their evaluation of the fees, the Independent Trustees considered, although were not limited to, the following factors.

With respect to the Micro Cap, Micro Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, and Small Cap Value Funds, each Fund had advisory fees and expense ratios above the median of its Peer Group. The Trustees noted, however, that the Peer Group of the micro cap funds may not adequately represent the strategies of the Funds and thus may limit some of the usefulness of the comparisons. In addition, in evaluating the fees, the Independent Trustees considered the nature of the asset class (small or mid cap), the Advisor’s expertise in this asset class, the due diligence needed to evaluate these small companies and the capacity constraints of this asset class. The Independent Trustees recognized that an integral part of the Advisor’s strategy is to close Funds as necessary, particularly Funds investing in small and micro cap companies, to protect shareholders. More specifically, the Independent Trustees recognized that a larger asset size in the small and micro cap funds could dilute performance as it is more difficult to replicate performance in these funds at larger asset sizes. From time to time, the Funds that have been closed to investors include: Core Growth, International Growth, International Opportunities, Micro Cap, Micro Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value and Ultra Growth Funds. The Independent Trustees seek to encourage the Advisor’s practice of closing Funds when necessary or appropriate to maintain or enhance performance. However, this practice also limits the Advisor’s ability to earn fees on a larger asset base and exposes the Advisor to reduced revenues from asset outflows if the Fund is closed to, or is otherwise limited in, permitting new investments. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered performance when evaluating fees and, as noted above, the Emerging Markets Small Cap, Micro Cap Value, and Small Cap Growth Funds all had favorable performance. Although the Micro Cap Fund and Small Cap Value Fund have lagged their Benchmarks in more recent years, the Independent Trustees noted that such Funds outperformed their Benchmarks over the 10-year period and were satisfied with steps taken to evaluate and address any performance issues. The Independent Trustees further recognized the Advisor’s research intensive investment approach and related costs, including, in particular, the costs of its research personnel. In addition, the advisory fees and expense caps for the Micro Cap and Micro Cap Value Funds were reduced in 2009. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

With respect to the Emerging Markets Small Cap, Global Opportunities, International Growth, and International

Opportunities Funds, the Independent Trustees noted that the advisory fees and expense ratios were above the median of their respective Peer Group. As with the above Funds, the Independent Trustees considered any capacity constraints of these Funds which limit their asset size. The Independent Trustees also noted that the international aspect of these Funds adds an additional cost to the Advisor’s research intensive investment program to cover an international landscape. In addition, the Independent Trustees recognized, as noted above, the above-average performance of the Funds. Finally, the Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor has agreed to reduce the fees and expense caps applicable to the Global Opportunities Fund and International Growth Fund. More specifically, the advisory fee of the International Growth Fund will be reduced from 1.50% of average daily net assets to 1.25% of average daily net assets. Further, the Advisor has agreed to reduce the expense cap by 20 basis points. Accordingly, the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Fund for total annual operating expenses in excess of 1.75% until at least January 31, 2012 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses). Similarly, the advisory fee of the Global Opportunities Fund will be reduced from 1.95% of average daily net assets to 1.50% of average daily net assets. The expense cap will also be reduced by 30 basis points. The Advisor therefore will reimburse the Fund for total annual operating expenses in excess of 1.95% until at least January 31, 2012 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses). The Trustees noted that although the Advisor originally proposed advisory fee waivers for the Global Opportunities and International Growth Funds that could be eliminated, the Advisor has agreed to permanent reductions in these advisory fees at the request of the Trustees. The Trustees also recognized that the advisory fees for the International Opportunities Fund were reduced in 2009. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

With respect to the Core Growth Fund, the Independent Trustees noted the advisory fee was slightly above, and the expense ratio was the same as, the median for its Peer Group. The Trustees also considered the capacity constraints of the Fund, the research intensive approach of the Advisor as well as the performance of the Fund as noted above. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.

With respect to the Heritage Growth, Long/Short, and Strategic Income Funds, the Independent Trustees noted that the advisory fees and expense ratios of these Funds were below or equal to the median of their respective Peer Group. Given their investment strategies, these Funds are also generally not subject to capacity constraints limiting the assets size of the Funds upon which advisory fees are calculated. Further, the Independent Trustees considered the Funds’ performance as outlined above. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

With respect to the Ultra Growth Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the advisory fee and expense ratio was above the median for its Peer Group. The Trustees considered the capacity constraints applicable to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Fund had favorable performance for the last two years ended August 31, 2010, as described above. The Trustees also considered that the Advisor had agreed to reduce the advisory fee and expense limitation. In this regard, the advisory fee will be reduced from 1.25% to 1.00% of average daily net assets and the expense cap will be reduced 25 basis points. Accordingly, the Advisor will reimburse the Ultra Growth Fund for total annual operating expenses in excess of 1.50% until at least January 31, 2012 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses). Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.

With respect to the Global Science & Technology, Large Cap Value, and U.S. Treasury Funds, the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios were above the median for their respective Peer Group. While the Global Science & Technology Fund may experience some capacity constraints, the other Funds generally should not. As with the other Funds, the Trustees considered the fees in light of the Funds’ performance. As described in more detail above, the Global Science & Technology Fund had better performance in the recent one year period, the Large Cap Value Fund has outperformed the Benchmark in the longer periods and the U.S. Treasury Fund has continued to provide solid performance. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

 

2. Fees Charged to Other Advisor and Sub-Advisor Clients

In reviewing fees, the Independent Trustees also compared the advisory fees to the fees the Advisor assesses other types of clients, including institutional and high net worth separate accounts, a private investment company and a foreign fund sub-advised by the Advisor. Currently, the Advisor manages separate account client assets in styles similar to those used for certain Funds, including Core Growth, Emerging Markets Small Cap, Heritage Growth, International Growth, Large Cap Value, Micro Cap, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value and Ultra Growth Funds. With respect to separate accounts, the fees for these accounts are generally lower than the comparable Fund (except the fees are the same in the case of the Heritage Growth Fund). The Independent Trustees considered the differences in the product types, including the services provided. In this regard, the Independent Trustees have noted that the range of services provided to a Fund in managing and operating a registered investment company is more extensive than those provided to a separately managed account. The Advisor provides services to each Fund that extend beyond the portfolio management services provided to its separate account clients. As described in more detail above, these services include business, administrative, compliance, third party service provider management, marketing and other services

required to operate a Fund. Further, the Independent Trustees recognized that each Fund operates in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive compliance. Such responsibilities generally are not required to the same extent for separate accounts. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees determined that the nature and number of services provided to operate a Fund merit higher fees than those of separate accounts. Similarly, with respect to the private investment company, such company is not subject to the extensive regulatory scheme required of operating registered investment companies such as the Funds, and therefore the services required differ. In addition, the Independent Trustees noted the advisory fee arrangement of the private investment company with the Advisor provides for a performance fee and therefore its fee structure differs significantly from that of the Funds.

In considering the fees of the Sub-Advisors for the Income Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the pricing schedule the respective Sub-Advisor charges for investment management services for other clients. In this regard, the sub-advisory fee for the U.S. Treasury Fund was at the lower end of the Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule. Similarly, the sub-advisory fee for the Income Fund was at the low end of fees 1st Source assesses for institutional accounts. The Independent Trustees also noted that the sub-advisory fees were established through arm’s length negotiations between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors, which are unaffiliated with the Advisor.

 

3. Profitability of Advisor

The Independent Trustees reviewed pro forma profitability information for the Advisor derived from its relationship with each Fund for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009 and estimated profitability for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Trustees reviewed the methodology utilized to allocate revenue and expenses of the Advisor among the Funds. In considering profitability, the Independent Trustees recognized the inherent limitations in determining profitability which may be affected by many factors, including the allocation of expenses across multiple investment products served by the Advisor. The allocation of research and personnel expenses is also particularly difficult given the Advisor’s shared research culture.

In addition to reviewing the Advisor’s profitability, the Trustees also reviewed the Advisor’s relative profitability compared to publicly available information concerning unaffiliated advisors. However, the Independent Trustees recognized the difficulties in comparing the profitability of various advisors given that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisors or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by numerous factors including the structure of the particular advisor, the types of funds managed, its business mix, expense allocations, and the advisor’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor’s profitability is within a reasonable range compared

to the peer group of unaffiliated advisors. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees were satisfied that the Advisor’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable in light of the services provided.

With respect to the Sub-Advisors, although a profitability analysis was not available, the Independent Trustees received certain financial statements of the Sub-Advisors. Given that the Sub-Advisors’ fees are at the low end of their respective fee schedules, the fact that the sub-advisory fee is established through arm’s length negotiations, and the range of fees the Sub-Advisors assess to other clients, the Independent Trustees concluded that HIMCO’s and 1st Source’s profitability from its relationship with the U.S. Treasury Fund and Income Fund, respectively, is not unreasonable.

In addition to the above, the Independent Trustees also considered that the Advisor benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby it receives brokerage and research services from brokers that execute a Fund’s purchases and sales of securities, as described in further detail below.

D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE

With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Trustees recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision. One method to help shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. The advisory fee schedules of the Funds, however, do not have breakpoints because, as noted above, the Independent Trustees recognized the capacity constraints of the Funds investing in small and micro cap companies. Because the Advisor generally seeks to maintain the assets of these Funds at a level that it believes can be managed effectively, the potential for the assets to grow beyond these levels to achieve economies of scale is limited. Further, with respect to the Funds without such capacity constraints, the Independent Trustees recognized the Advisor’s position that to the extent economies of scale exist, the proposed level of advisory fee reflects such economies of scale. Considering the factors above, the Independent Trustees concluded the absence of breakpoints was acceptable and that such economies as exist are adequately reflected in the Advisor’s fee structure.

 

E.   INDIRECT BENEFITS

In evaluating fees, the Independent Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Advisor or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered that the Advisor benefits from soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives research from brokers that execute the applicable Fund’s brokerage transactions. The Advisor may receive soft dollar benefits from each Fund, subject to the exceptions noted below for the sub-advised Funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the soft dollar arrangements including, among other things, the commissions paid, the research credits earned and the

services provided. Further, the Independent Trustees at prior meetings have had extensive discussions regarding the soft dollar arrangements. The Independent Trustees recognized that soft dollar arrangements provide benefits to the Advisor derived from a Fund’s transactions by obtaining research that it would otherwise have to acquire with hard dollars. Accordingly, the Advisor’s profitability would be somewhat lower if it did not receive the research services pursuant to soft dollar arrangements. The Independent Trustees took these “fall out” benefits, if any, into account when reviewing the level of advisory fees. With respect to the Sub-Advisors, the Independent Trustees recognized that the Sub-Advisors currently do not have soft dollar arrangements on behalf of their respective Funds.

F.   APPROVAL OF NEW ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Independent Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the HIMCO Sub-Advisory Agreement for the U.S. Treasury Fund, and the 1st Source Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Income Fund were fair and reasonable, that the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Funds, and that the Advisory Agreement should be and was approved on behalf of each Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be and were approved on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Fund and the Income Fund, respectively.

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 134. 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

 

 

141


Table of Contents
WASATCH FUNDSGuide to Understanding Financial Statements (continued)   MARCH 31, 2011
 
 

 

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.
