WASATCH CORE GROWTH FUND — Summary

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund’s primary investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Income is a secondary objective, but only when consistent with long-term growth of capital. Currently, we do not expect the Fund’s investments to generate substantial income.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, sell or hold Institutional Class shares of the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse the Institutional Class shares of the Fund for Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses in excess of       % until at least January 31, 2013 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses). Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not included in the expense limitation. The Advisor may rescind the contractual limitation on expenses at any time after its expiration date. There were no reimbursements for the Fund during 2011. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses may not equal the expense ratio stated in the Fund’s most recent Annual Report and Financial Highlights, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

EXAMPLE

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Institutional Class of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invested $10,000 in the Institutional Class of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeemed all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Institutional Class of the Fund’s operating expenses (as a percentage of net assets) remained the same. The example reflects contractual fee waivers and reimbursements through January 31, 2013. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

      1 Year      3 Years    5 Years    10 Years  

Institutional Class shares

   $              

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). Higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was       % of the average value of its portfolio.


Table of Contents

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

The Fund invests primarily in smaller growing companies at reasonable prices.

Under normal market conditions, we will invest at least 65% of the Fund’s net assets in the equity securities of growing companies. These companies are usually small to mid-size with market capitalizations of less than $5 billion at the time of purchase.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets at the time of purchase in securities issued by foreign companies in developed or emerging markets. Securities issued by companies incorporated outside the United States whose securities are publicly traded in the United States are not defined as foreign companies and are not subject to this limitation.

We focus on companies that we consider to be high quality. We use a process of “bottom-up” fundamental analysis to look for individual companies that we believe are stable and have the potential to grow steadily for long periods of time. Our analysis may include studying a company’s financial statements, building proprietary financial models, visiting company facilities, and meeting with executive management, suppliers and customers.

The Fund seeks to purchase stocks at prices we believe are reasonable relative to our projection of a company’s long term earnings growth rate.

The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a few sectors.

For more information, please see “Additional Information about the Funds.”

PRINCIPAL RISKS

All investments carry some degree of risk that will affect the value of the Fund, its investment performance and the price of its shares. As a result, you may lose money if you invest in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

Stock Market Risk. The Fund’s investments may decline due to movements in the overall stock market.

Stock Selection Risk. The Fund’s investments may decline in value even when the overall stock market is not in a general decline.

Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities are generally more volatile and less liquid than U.S. securities. Further, foreign securities may be subject to additional risks not associated with investment in U.S. securities due to differences in the economic and political environment, the amount of available public information, the degree of market regulation, and financial reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and, in the case of foreign currency-denominated securities, fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to the risks of investing in foreign securities in general, the risks of investing in the securities of companies domiciled in emerging market countries include increased political or social instability, economies based on only a few industries, unstable currencies, runaway inflation, highly volatile securities markets, unpredictable shifts in policies relating to foreign investments, lack of protection for investors against parties who fail to complete transactions, and the potential for government seizure of assets or nationalization of companies.

Smaller Company Stock Risk. Small and mid cap stocks may be very sensitive to changing economic conditions and market downturns.

Growth Stock Risk. Growth stock prices may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks, and they may fall or not appreciate in step with the broader securities markets.

Sector Weightings Risk. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect all the securities in a single sector. If the Fund invests in a few sectors it may have increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

The following tables provide information on how the Fund has performed over time. The Fund’s past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. The bar chart below is intended to provide you with an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year. The table below is designed to help you evaluate your risk tolerance by showing the Fund’s best and worst quarterly performance for the years shown in the bar chart. The average annual total return table below allows you to compare the Fund’s performance over the time periods indicated to that of a broad based market index, and an additional specialized index composed of

The after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

The Fund’s returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes and after taxes on distributions because they include the effect of a tax benefit an investor may receive from the capital losses that would have been incurred.

The example assumes that you invested $10,000 in the Institutional Class of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeemed all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Institutional Class of the Fund’s operating expenses (as a percentage of net assets) remained the same.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). Higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was       % of the average value of its portfolio.

Table of Contents

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities.

Under normal market conditions, we will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets primarily in equity securities, including common stock and securities convertible into common stocks, of companies with market capitalizations of over $5 billion at the time of purchase.

The Fund typically invests in the securities of companies that we believe will pay above average dividends or interest.

When evaluating a potential investment for the Fund, we employ a comprehensive valuation analysis intended to establish a range for fair valuation or intrinsic company value, with a particular emphasis on company fundamentals. The initial valuation review may include:

 

 

Calculating and reviewing standard ratios, such as price-to-sales, price-to-book, price-to-earnings, and price/earnings-to-growth.

 

Modified discounted cash flow models with sensitivity analysis for changes to revenue growth rates, operating margins, outstanding share counts, earnings multiples, and tangible book value.

 

Changing sector and company specific outlooks due to subjective factors, including globalization of capital, labor and process knowledge, as well as increasing information and price transparency.

The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a few sectors.

For more information, please see “Additional Information about the Funds.”

PRINCIPAL RISKS

All investments carry some degree of risk that will affect the value of the Fund, its investment performance and the price of its shares. As a result, you may lose money if you invest in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

Stock Market Risk. The Fund’s investments may decline due to movements in the overall stock market.

Stock Selection Risk. The Fund’s investments may decline in value even when the overall stock market is not in a general decline.

Value Investing Risk. Value investing attempts to identify strong companies whose stocks are selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. It is subject to the risk that the stocks’ intrinsic values may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, their prices may go down, or that stocks judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.

Sector Weightings Risk. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect all the securities in a single sector. If the Fund invests in a few sectors it may have increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

The Fund commenced operations on December 15, 2008 upon the reorganization of the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund, the Fund’s predecessor fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), into the Fund. With the reorganization, the Fund assumed the financial and performance history of the Predecessor Fund. The following tables provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in the Fund (and Predecessor Fund for periods prior to December 15, 2008) by showing changes in the Fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s for periods prior to December 15, 2008) performance from year to year over a 10-year period and by showing how the Fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s for periods prior to December 15, 2008) average annual total returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare to the returns of a broad-based securities market index. Past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. In addition, the Predecessor Fund was advised by a different investment advisor and subject to different expenses which may have produced different investment results. The Fund, however, has two portfolio managers, one of which was also the portfolio manager of the Predecessor Fund. The bar chart below is intended to provide you with an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year. The table below is designed to help you evaluate your risk tolerance by showing the Fund’s best and worst quarterly performance

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). Higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was         % of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

The Fund invests primarily in small companies.

Under normal market conditions, we will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in the equity securities of small companies with market capitalizations of less than $2.5 billion at the time of purchase.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets at the time of purchase in securities issued by foreign companies in developed or emerging markets. Securities issued by companies incorporated outside the United States whose securities are publicly traded in the United States are not defined as foreign companies and are not subject to this limitation.

The Fund may also invest in growth companies if the Advisor believes that current valuation is at a sufficient discount to the projected long-term earnings growth rate.

We use a “bottom-up” process of fundamental analysis to look for individual companies that we believe are temporarily undervalued but have significant potential for stock price appreciation. Our analysis may include studying a company’s financial statements, visiting company facilities, and meeting with executive management, suppliers and customers.

We typically look for companies that we believe fall into one of these three categories at the time of purchase:

 

Undiscovered Gems — Companies with good growth potential which have yet to be broadly discovered by Wall Street, thus leaving them attractively undervalued relative to their expected growth.

 

Fallen Angels — High quality growth companies that have experienced a temporary setback and therefore have appealing valuations relative to their long term growth potential.

 

Quality Value — Quality companies with earnings potential that is not fully reflected in their stock prices.

The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a few sectors, including the financials sector.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

All investments carry some degree of risk that will affect the value of the Fund, its investment performance and the price of its shares. As a result, you may lose money if you invest in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

Stock Market Risk. The Fund’s investments may decline due to movements in the overall stock market.

Stock Selection Risk. The Fund’s investments may decline in value even when the overall stock market is not in a general decline.

Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities are generally more volatile and less liquid than U.S. securities. Further, foreign securities may be subject to additional risks not associated with investment in U.S. securities due to differences in the economic and political environment, the amount of available public information, the degree of market regulation, and financial reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and, in the case of foreign currency-denominated securities, fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to the risks of investing in foreign securities in general, the risks of investing in the securities of companies domiciled in emerging market countries include increased political or social instability, economies based on only a few industries, unstable currencies, runaway inflation, highly volatile securities markets, unpredictable shifts in policies relating to foreign investments, lack of protection for investors against parties who fail to complete transactions, and the potential for government seizure of assets or nationalization of companies.

Small Company Stock Risk. Small cap stocks may be very sensitive to changing economic conditions and market downturns because the issuers often have narrow markets, fewer product lines, and limited managerial and financial resources, resulting in volatile stock prices and a limited ability to sell them at a desirable time or price.

Value Investing Risk. Value investing attempts to identify strong companies whose stocks are selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. It is subject to the risk that the stocks’ intrinsic values may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, their prices may go down, or that stocks judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.

Sector Weightings Risk. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect all the securities in a single sector. If the Fund invests in a few sectors, it may have increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE

The following tables provide information on how the Fund has performed over time. The Fund’s past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund’s returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes and after taxes on distributions because they include the effect of a tax benefit an investor may receive from the capital losses that would have been incurred.

WASATCH FUNDS - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

The Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are referred to as equity funds (each, an “Equity Fund,” and collectively, the “Equity Funds”).

INVESTMENT PROCESS

Securities for the Equity Funds are recommended by an experienced in-house research team. Each Fund’s portfolio manager seeks to ensure that investments are compatible with the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies.

The research team uses “bottom-up” fundamental analysis to identify companies that it believes have outstanding investment potential. The research process includes prescreening potential investments using databases and industry contacts, analyzing annual reports and financial statements, making onsite visits, meeting with top management, evaluating the competitive environment, looking at distribution channels and identifying areas of potential growth.

BUYING SECURITIES

Decisions to buy securities are based on the best judgment of each Fund’s portfolio managers in a continuing effort to enhance long-term performance. Below are factors that are considered by portfolio managers when purchasing securities.

GROWTH STOCKS

As we analyze growing companies, we are most interested in finding:

 

 

Potential for significant and sustained revenue and earnings growth.

 

Experienced, proven management team.

 

High return on capital.

 

Sustainable competitive advantage.

 

Market leadership and/or growing market share.

 

Ability to capitalize on favorable long-term trends.

 

Strong financial health.

 

Reasonable use of debt.

 

Attractive valuation.

VALUE STOCKS

As we analyze “value” companies, we are most interested in finding:

 

 

Catalyst for improved earnings growth.

 

New products or services that may increase revenue growth and market share.

 

Experienced top management with a substantial stake in the company’s future.

 

Introduction of valuable new products and services.

 

Low stock valuation as measured in a variety of ways, including: price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), price-to-sales ratio, price-to-book ratio, market capitalization-to-revenue ratio, etc.

 

Potential to generate improved financial performance.

SELLING SECURITIES

Decisions to sell securities are based on the best judgment of each Fund’s portfolio managers in a continuing effort to enhance long-term performance. In general, we are likely to sell a security when:

 

 

The rationale we used to buy the security is no longer valid.

 

The security becomes overpriced.

 

We believe another security has better investment potential.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND PRINCIPAL RISKS

Convertible Securities Risk. The Equity Funds may invest in convertible securities. Convertible securities are preferred stocks or debt obligations that are convertible into common stock. Generally, convertible securities offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality and have less potential for gains or capital appreciation in a rising stock market than other equity securities. They tend to be more volatile than other fixed income securities, and the markets for convertible securities may be less liquid than markets for common stocks or bonds. Convertible securities have both equity and fixed income risk characteristics. Like all fixed income securities, the value of convertible securities is susceptible to the risk of market losses attributable to changes in interest rates. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase. If, however, the market price of the common stock underlying a convertible security approaches or exceeds the conversion price of the convertible security, the convertible security tends to reflect the market price of the underlying common stock. In such a case, a convertible security may lose much or all of its value if the value of the underlying common stock then falls below the conversion price of the security. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, the convertible security tends to trade increasingly based on its fixed income characteristics, and thus, may not necessarily decline in price as much as the underlying common stock. Additionally, an issuer may have the right to buy back certain of the convertible securities at a time and price that is unfavorable to a Fund.

Early Stage Companies Risk. The Equity Funds may invest in early stage companies. Early stage companies may never obtain necessary financing, may rely on untested business plans, may not be successful in developing markets for their products or services, and may remain an insignificant part of their industry, and as such may never be profitable. Stocks of early stage companies may be illiquid, privately traded, and more volatile and speculative than the securities of larger companies.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk. The Equity Funds may invest in ETFs in excess of the limits imposed under the 1940 Act pursuant to exemptive orders obtained by certain ETFs and their sponsors from the Securities and Exchange Commission. ETFs are investment companies that are bought and sold on a securities exchange. When a Fund invests in an ETF, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s operating expenses. In addition, a Fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs. The risk of owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of the underlying securities held by the ETF and the investment strategies employed by such funds (such as the use of leverage). Lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in the ETF being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities. In addition, because of ETF expenses, compared to owning the underlying securities directly, it may be more costly to own an ETF.

Foreign Securities Risk. The Equity Funds may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities may be less liquid and their prices may be more volatile than domestic securities. There may be less government supervision and regulation of foreign stock exchanges, brokers, custodians and listed companies than in the U.S.

Foreign Market Risk. Foreign securities markets may be less liquid and their prices may be more volatile than domestic markets. There also may be less government supervision and regulation of foreign stock exchanges, brokers, custodians and listed companies than in the U.S. Certain markets may require payment for securities before delivery and delays may be encountered in settling securities transactions. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. There may be limited legal recourse against an issuer in the event of a default on a debt instrument.

Currency Risk. The U.S. dollar value of a Fund’s assets will be affected by foreign currency exchange rates and may be affected by exchange control regulations. A change in the value of any foreign currency will change the U.S. dollar value of a Fund’s assets that are denominated or traded in that country. In addition, a Fund may incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. While the Funds have the ability to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, they have no present intention to do so. A risk of not hedging currencies is that if the U.S. dollar strengthens, returns from foreign markets will be less when converted into U.S. dollars.

Political and Economic Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to heightened political and economic risks, particularly in countries with emerging economies and securities markets, which may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few industries. In some countries, there is the risk that the government could seize or nationalize companies, impose additional withholding taxes on dividends or interest income payable on securities, impose exchange controls or adopt other restrictions that could affect a Fund’s investments.

 

15


Table of Contents

Regulatory Risk. Foreign companies not publicly traded in the U.S. are not subject to accounting and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those U.S. companies must meet. In addition, there may be less information publicly available about such companies.

Foreign Tax Risk. A Fund’s income from foreign issuers may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes. A Fund may also be subject to taxes on trading profits or on transfers of securities in some countries. To the extent foreign income taxes are paid by a Fund, shareholders may be entitled to a credit or deduction for U.S. tax purposes.

Transaction Costs. The costs of buying and selling foreign securities including brokerage, tax and custody costs are generally higher than those for domestic transactions.

Region Risk. Social, political and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country or region could significantly affect the market in that country or region. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact the issuers of securities in a different country or region. From time to time, a small number of companies and industries may represent a large portion of the market in a particular country or region, and these companies and industries can be sensitive to adverse social, political, economic, or regulatory developments.

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) Risk. The Equity Funds may invest in IPOs. IPOs involve a higher degree of risk not normally associated with offerings of more seasoned companies. Companies involved in IPOs generally have limited operating histories and their prospects for future profitability are uncertain. Prices of IPOs may also be unstable due to such factors as the absence of a prior public market, the small number of shares available for trading and limited investor information. Shares purchased in IPOs may be difficult to sell at a time or price that is desirable.

Sector Weightings Risk. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector. If a Fund invests in a few sectors it may have more exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

CASH/TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS

If the research team is unable to locate attractive investment opportunities for the Equity Funds or when we consider market, economic or political conditions to be unfavorable for profitable investing, we may take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with an Equity Fund’s principal investment strategies.

For example, we may temporarily increase a Fund’s cash position, or invest a larger portion of its assets in money market instruments or repurchase agreements. We reserve the right to invest all of a Fund’s assets in temporary defensive positions.

When a Fund takes temporary defensive positions by increasing its holdings in cash, money market instruments or repurchase agreements, it may not participate in stock market advances or declines to the same extent that it would if the Fund remained more fully invested in stocks. In addition, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Each Equity Fund generally intends to purchase securities for long-term investment rather than short-term gains. However, short term transactions may result from liquidity needs, securities having reached a price or yield objective, or by reason of economic or other developments not foreseen at the time of the initial investment decision. Changes are made in a Fund’s portfolio whenever the Fund’s portfolio manager(s) believe such changes are desirable. Portfolio turnover rates are generally not a factor in making decisions to buy or sell securities.

To a lesser extent, a Fund may purchase securities in anticipation of relatively short-term price gains. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs for brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs and may also result in taxable capital gains.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Funds may use other investment strategies in addition to their principal strategies. For information about the more significant of these strategies and their risks see “Investment Strategies and Their Risks” in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).

FUND NAMES AND INVESTMENT POLICIES

The Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund have names that suggest a focus on a particular type of investment. In accordance with Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each of these Funds has adopted a policy that it will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its assets in investments of the type suggested by its name. For this policy, “assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. A Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in such a manner is not a “fundamental” one, which means that it may be changed without a vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares as defined in the 1940 Act. However, under Rule 35d-1, shareholders must be given written notice at least 60 days prior to any change by a Fund of its 80% investment policy.

FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES

The investment objective of the Large Cap Value Fund can be changed without shareholder approval. The investment objectives of the Core Growth and Small Cap Value Funds cannot be changed without shareholder approval. Certain policies of the Funds cannot be changed without a shareholder vote. These policies are described in the SAI.

ACCOUNT POLICIES

WHY WASATCH CLOSES OR REOPENS FUNDS

The Advisor or a Fund may take action to periodically close (“hard close”) or limit inflows into (“soft close”) a Fund to protect the integrity of a Fund’s investment strategy or objective. Hard closing or soft closing Funds can be an important component of portfolio management, particularly for Funds that primarily invest in smaller companies. We believe that closing funds or restricting inflows through some or all channels from time-to-time is in the best interest of our shareholders. Conversely, when the assets of a closed or restricted Fund are at a level that we believe assets could be invested without impairing the Fund, we may reopen the Fund. We retain the right to make exceptions to any action taken to close or limit inflows into a Fund.

The SAI provides more detailed information about why and when a Fund may be hard closed or soft closed.

HOW WASATCH CLOSES OR REOPENS FUNDS

Fund closings or reopenings will be posted on Wasatch Funds’ website at www.wasatchfunds.com. The Advisor will make every effort to post information related to fund closings at least two weeks prior to the effective date of the closing. You may sign up on the Funds’ website to receive an electronic notification of fund closings and openings. You can also request information about a Fund’s open or closed status from a shareholder services representative by calling our toll-free number at 800.551.1700.

Each change in a Fund’s status also will be filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Please see “Other Important Information” for more information about how to view or obtain copies of documents filed with the SEC.

POLICIES TO PREVENT MARKET TIMING

Short-term trading or “market timing” involves frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares and may present risks for long-term shareholders of the fund including among other things, dilution in the value of fund shares held by long-term shareholders, interference in the efficient management of the fund’s portfolio, increased brokerage and administrative costs and forcing the fund to hold excess levels of cash. One form of market timing is called “time zone arbitrage.” This occurs when shareholders of a fund that primarily invests in securities that are listed on foreign exchanges take advantage of time zone differences between the close of foreign markets on which the fund’s securities trade and the close of the U.S. markets, which is when the fund’s share price is calculated. Arbitrage opportunities may also occur in funds that do not invest in foreign securities. For example, if trading in a security held by a fund is halted and does not resume prior to the time the fund’s share price is calculated, such “stale pricing” presents an opportunity for investors to take advantage of the pricing discrepancy. Similarly, funds that hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain micro- or small-capitalization securities, may be exposed to varying levels of pricing arbitrage.

Wasatch Funds are intended as long-term investments. Therefore, the Funds’ Board of Trustees’ has adopted policies and procedures designed to prohibit short-term trading, excessive exchanges and other market timing activities. Steps the Funds have taken include: periodically reviewing individual shareholder trading activity to identify shareholders who are making excessive transactions or otherwise trading the Funds inappropriately, imposing a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held 60 days or less (subject to certain exceptions) and revising or terminating the exchange privilege, limiting the amount of any exchange, or rejecting an exchange, at any time, for any reason.

The redemption fee may be waived for certain omnibus accounts held by financial intermediaries whose systems are unable to assess the redemption fee and certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts (including certain 401(k) and other types of defined contribution or employee benefit plans).

The redemption fee may be waived by the Funds’ officers in any case where the nature of the transaction or circumstances do not pose the risks that the Board of Trustees’ policies and procedures to prevent market timing are designed to mitigate. All waivers provided by the Funds’ officers will be disclosed to the Funds’ Board of Trustees’ at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

The Funds cannot always know about or reasonably detect excessive trading by shareholders who purchase shares of the Funds through financial intermediaries. Intermediaries generally maintain omnibus accounts with the Funds, which do not allow access to individual shareholders’ account information. In compliance with federal securities laws, the Funds execute agreements with intermediaries that obligate them to provide certain shareholder data so the Funds may be able to detect excessive trading and market timing by underlying

shareholders. Shareholders who have purchased Funds through financial intermediaries that do not execute the new information sharing agreements may be restricted from purchasing additional shares of the Funds (other than an automatic reinvestment of dividends) through an omnibus account with such financial intermediary.

REQUIRED INFORMATION

Federal regulations may require the Funds to obtain your name, your date of birth, your residential address or principal place of business and mailing address as well as your taxpayer identification number at the time you open your account. Applications without this information may not be accepted. To the extent permitted by law, the Funds reserve the right to place limits on transactions in your account until your identity is verified.

INVESTMENT MINIMUMS

The investment minimum for Institutional Shares is $500,000. There is a $5,000 minimum investment for subsequent purchases.

 

 

The Fund reserves the right to waive or lower investment minimums for any reason.

 

Accounts opened through third parties such as brokers or banks may be subject to different minimums for initial and subsequent purchases.

Please place your transactions with care. A Fund will not cancel any transaction once it has been initiated and, if applicable, a reference or confirmation number has been assigned.

PURCHASING SHARES

 

 

There are no sales charges to purchase shares of the Funds.

 

The purchase price of your shares will be determined the next time the Funds’ share price is calculated after the transfer agent receives your request in good order.

 

Purchases must be made in U.S. dollars.

 

The Funds do not accept cash, money orders, third party checks, travelers checks, credit card checks, checks drawn on banks outside the U.S. or other checks deemed to be high risk.

 

The Funds reserve the right to stop selling shares at any time or to reject specific purchase requests, including purchases by exchange from another Wasatch Fund or the Wasatch Federated Money Market Account (Money Market Fund).

 

Purchase requests sent to Wasatch Funds’ headquarters in Salt Lake City will be forwarded to the transfer agent in Milwaukee, but the effective date of the purchase will be delayed until the request is received in good order by the transfer agent.

 

Purchase requests made by telephone will only be accepted for accounts that have previously established bank information to allow electronic funds transfer from the Automated Clearing House (ACH).

 

When you make an initial purchase of shares online, the purchase amount will be withdrawn from your bank after the transfer agent receives your online application in good order. You will receive a reference number for your transaction when you submit your application or subsequent purchase. A verification of your request will also be sent to your e-mail address and we will mail a transaction confirmation to you when we have

 

25


Table of Contents
 

processed your online application. Please double check that the bank information you provide is correct. You will be held liable for losses incurred by the Fund due to incorrect bank information.

 

A $20 fee will be assessed if your online purchase cannot be made for any reason. See also “Insufficient Funds Policy”.

SELLING (REDEEMING) SHARES

 

 

You may request that the Funds redeem all or a portion of your shares.

 

The price of shares you redeem will be determined the next time the Fund’s share price is calculated after the transfer agent receives your request in good order.

 

Most new accounts automatically have the telephone redemption privilege, unless it is specifically declined. Some accounts such as corporate accounts do not receive the redemption privilege unless they complete and return the Redemption and Exchange Privileges Form.

 

You may redeem shares in your account in amounts of $5,000 up to $50,000 ($100,000 for corporate accounts) online or by telephone.

 

Redemption requests must be made in writing and a Medallion signature guarantee is required.

 

The Funds do not accept redemption requests made via fax.

 

The Funds will mail a check to the address on your account within seven days after the transfer agent receives your request in good order.

 

Redemption proceeds can also be sent by wire ($15.00 fee) or electronic funds transfer to your preauthorized bank account.

 

Payment may be delayed for up to seven days on redemption requests for recent purchases made by check or electronic funds transfer to ensure that the payment has cleared.

 

The Funds can delay payment of redemption proceeds for up to seven days at any time.

 

Redemption requests sent to Wasatch Funds’ headquarters in Salt Lake City will be forwarded to the transfer agent in Milwaukee, but the effective date of the redemption will be delayed until the request is received in good order by the transfer agent.

 

Redemption requests from corporations, executors, administrators, trustees and guardians may require additional documentation and a Medallion signature guarantee.

 

If the account is worth less than the amount requested, the entire value of the account will be redeemed.

 

The Funds reserve the right to redeem in kind.

 

The Funds reserve the right to reject or delay a redemption on certain legal grounds. See “Emergency Circumstances”.

 

Redeeming shares may result in a taxable capital gain or loss.

 

Due to money movement between Wasatch Funds and the Money Market Fund, requests made on the business day prior to bank holidays will be processed the following business day. This applies to the Fund being redeemed and the Fund being purchased. Bank holidays include Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day. Bank holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.

REDEMPTION FEE

 

 

The Funds will deduct a fee of 2.00% from redemption proceeds on Fund shares held 60 days or less, except as noted below.

 

Exchanges on shares held 60 days or less will, subject to certain exceptions, trigger the redemption fee. Exchanges into or out of the Money Market Fund will not trigger the redemption fee.

 

The redemption fee is paid directly to a Fund and is designed to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

 

If you bought shares on different days, the shares you held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies.

 

Shares transferred from one shareholder to another shareholder retain the transferer’s “age” of the shares in the hand of the transferor.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed from shareholder accounts liquidated for failure to

 

26


Table of Contents
 

meet the minimum investment requirement.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed from a shareholder account for which the identity of the shareholder, for purposes of complying with the anti-money laundering (AML) laws, could not be determined within a reasonable time after the account was opened.

 

The redemption fee does not apply in the event of any involuntary redemption and/or exchange transactions, including, for example, those required by law or regulation, a regulatory agency, a court order, or as a result of a liquidation of a Fund by the Board of Trustees.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed through an automatic, non-discretionary rebalancing or asset allocation program.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed due to a disability as defined by the IRS requirements.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed due to death for shares transferred from a decedent’s account to a beneficiary’s account.

 

The redemption fee does not apply in the event of a back office correction made to an account to provide the shareholder with the intended transaction.

 

The redemption fee does not apply in the event of the following transactions: a distribution taken from a defined contribution terminated employee account, a plan distribution of non-vested participant balance in a defined contribution account, a distribution taken from a defined contribution plan to provide a participant with a loan against the account, or an amount contributed to a defined contribution plan exceeding the maximum annual contribution limit.

 

The redemption fee does not apply to shares gifted from one shareholder account to another shareholder account, assuming the age of the gifted shares is greater than 60 days.

 

The redemption fee may be waived for certain omnibus accounts held by financial intermediaries whose systems are unable to assess the redemption fee and certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts (including certain 401(k) and other types of defined contribution or employee benefit plans).

 

The redemption fee may be waived by the Funds’ officers in any case where the nature of the transaction or circumstances do not pose the risks that the Board of Trustees’ policies and procedures to prevent market timing are designed to mitigate. All waivers provided by the Funds’ officers will be disclosed to the Funds’ Board of Trustees at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Funds reserve the right to modify or eliminate the redemption fee or waivers at any time.

 

The redemption fee assessed by certain financial intermediaries that have omnibus accounts in the Fund, including employer-sponsored retirement accounts, may be calculated using methodologies that differ from those utilized by the Funds’ transfer agent. Such differences are typically attributable to system design differences unrelated to the investment in the Funds. These system differences are not intended or expected to facilitate market timing or frequent trading.

HOW FUND SHARES ARE PRICED

 

 

The Funds’ share price changes daily, so the price of shares you wish to purchase or redeem will be determined the next time the Funds’ share price is calculated after the transfer agent receives your request in good order.

 

The Funds’ share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV), is calculated by (1) taking the total value of the Fund’s assets allocated to a particular class of shares, (2) subtracting the liabilities and expenses charged to that class, and (3) dividing that amount by the total number of shares of that class outstanding.

 

The Funds’ share price is generally calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) every day the NYSE is open.

 

The Funds’ share price will not be calculated on holidays the NYSE observes, including New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. NYSE holiday schedules are subject to change without notice. The NYSE may close early on the day before each of these holidays and the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

The Funds’ investments are primarily valued using market quotations. Debt securities (other than short-term instruments) are valued at prices furnished by a pricing service, subject to review and possible revision by the Advisor. Short-term securities are valued at either original cost or amortized cost, both of which approximate current market value. To the extent a Fund invests in registered open-end investment companies (other than

 

27


Table of Contents
 

exchange traded funds), such investments are valued based on the NAV of such funds and the prospectuses of such funds will explain the circumstances under which these companies will be using fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

 

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 will be valued at fair value by the joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor and the Funds with oversight by the Board of Trustees and in accordance with Board-approved Pricing Policies and Procedures.

 

The Funds’ investments will be valued at fair value by the joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor and the Funds with oversight by the Board of Trustees if the Advisor determines that an event impacting the value of an investment occurred after the close of the security’s primary exchange or market (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and before the time the Funds’ share price is calculated. In addition, a Fund may adjust the closing prices of certain foreign securities traded on markets that have closed prior to the U.S. equity markets (principally, overseas markets), using fair value factors provided by an independent pricing agent, on any business day a change in the value of the U.S. equity markets (as represented by a benchmark index approved by the Board of Trustees) exceeds a certain threshold. The prices will not be adjusted for securities traded on markets that are open the same time U.S. equity markets are open, or when a reliable fair value factor is unavailable.

 

Despite best efforts, there is an inherent risk that the fair value of an investment may be higher or lower than the value the Funds would have received if it had sold the investment.

 

The Funds may hold portfolio securities, such as those traded on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund’s share price is not calculated. Therefore, the value of a Fund’s shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.

MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEE

A Medallion signature guarantee assures that a signature is genuine. It is intended to protect shareholders and the Funds against fraudulent transactions by unauthorized persons.

Medallion signature guarantees are required by Wasatch Funds in the following cases:

 

To change your designated bank account or bank address.

 

To add bank information to an existing account.

 

To request a redemption (must be made in writing) in excess of $50,000 ($100,000 for corporate accounts).

 

To request a wire transfer or ACH of redemption proceeds to a bank account other than the bank account of record.

 

Requests for redemption proceeds to be mailed to an address other than the address of record.

 

Redemptions made within 30 days of an address change.

 

Certain transactions on accounts involving executors, administrators, trustees or guardians.

 

On the IRA Transfer Form if transferring your Wasatch Funds IRA to another fund family.

 

To change registered account holders.

 

To change the name on an account due to divorce or marriage (or you can provide a certified copy of the legal documents) showing the name change.

 

To add telephone privileges.

The Funds reserve the right to require a Medallion signature guarantee under other circumstances.

HOW TO OBTAIN A MEDALLION SIGNATURE GUARANTEE

Medallion signature guarantees must be obtained from a participant in a Medallion program endorsed by the Securities Transfer Association. Participants are typically commercial banks or trust companies in the United States, brokerage firms that are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or members of the New York Stock Exchange. Call your financial institution to see if it participates in a medallion program.

A Medallion signature guarantee may not be provided by a notary public.

EXCHANGING SHARES

 

 

Fund shares may be exchanged for shares of the same class of other Wasatch Funds. Shares of a class held by any shareholder who is eligible to hold shares of another class may be exchanged upon shareholder request on the basis of the relative NAV of the class held and the class to be purchased. Shares may be exchanged on days the NYSE is open for business.

 

The price of shares being exchanged will be determined the next time the Funds’ share price is calculated after the transfer agent has received your exchange request in good order.

 

Excessive exchanges may result in the termination of a shareholder’s exchange privileges. For more information please see “Policies to Prevent Market Timing”.

 

Exchanges for shares in Funds closed to new investors may only be made by shareholders with existing accounts in those Funds.

 

Exchanges may not be made for shares of Funds closed to new investors and existing shareholders.

 

You may open a new account or purchase additional shares by exchanging shares from an existing Fund account.

 

New accounts opened by exchange will have the same registration as existing accounts and are subject to the minimum initial investment requirements.

 

Additional exchanges may be made for $5,000 or more.

 

Additional documentation and a Medallion signature guarantee may be required for exchange requests from existing accounts if shares are registered in the name of a corporation, partnership or fiduciary.

Exchanges on shares held 60 days or less will trigger the redemption fee, subject to certain exceptions as noted above.

 

New accounts automatically have the telephone exchange privilege, unless it is specifically declined.

 

The Funds do not accept exchange requests made via fax.

 

Exchange requests may be subject to other limitations, including those relating to frequency, that Wasatch Funds may establish to ensure that exchanges do not disadvantage shareholders or the Funds.

 

Exchanging shares may result in a taxable capital gain or loss.

 

The Advisor reserves the right to revise or terminate the exchange privilege, limit the amount of any exchange, or reject an exchange, at any time, for any reason.

EXCHANGES BETWEEN WASATCH FUNDS AND THE WASATCH FEDERATED MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT

 

 

You may exchange all or a portion of your investment in the Fund for shares of the Money Market Fund, a money market account advised by Federated Investment Management Company (and not by Wasatch Advisors, Inc.) that invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality money market instruments. The Money Market Fund and its adviser are not affiliated persons of the Wasatch Funds or Wasatch Advisors, Inc. SHARES OF THE FEDERATED MONEY MARKET ARE NOT OFFERED BY THIS PROSPECTUS.

 

Exchanges are subject to the minimum purchase and redemption amounts set forth in this prospectus unless otherwise noted on the application.

 

Shareholders may not exchange Money Market Fund shares to purchase shares of Funds that are closed to new investors and existing shareholders.

 

The automatic exchange plan allows you to make automatic monthly investments in Wasatch Funds by exchanging shares from your Money Market Fund account. There is no fee for this service.

 

Any changes to the automatic exchange plan must be made 10 business days prior to the transaction.

 

Exchange requests will be effective the day the transfer agent receives them in good order by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or market close on days the Funds’ shares are priced, unless it is the business day prior to a bank holiday. Requests made on the business day prior to a bank holiday will be processed the following business day. This applies to the Funds being redeemed and the Funds being purchased. Bank holidays include Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day. Bank holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.

 

You will begin accruing income from the Money Market Fund the first business day following the exchange provided it is not a bank holiday.

 

Dividends earned in the Money Market Fund are payable at the time of full liquidation or at the end of the month if a balance remains in the account.

Shareholders should read the prospectus of the Money Market Fund prior to exchanging into it.

CONVERSION OF SHARES

Shares of the Institutional Class of a Fund held by any shareholder who is no longer eligible to hold such shares may be converted, at the discretion of the Fund, to shares of a class in which the shareholder is eligible on the basis of the relative NAV of the class held and the conversion class without the imposition of any sales load, fee or other charge. Affected shareholders will be notified prior to any such conversion.

ELIGIBLE INVESTMENTS INTO CLOSED FUNDS

Information about eligible purchases in to closed Funds can be found in the SAI or by calling a shareholder services representative.

PURCHASING AND SELLING SHARES THROUGH THIRD PARTIES SUCH AS BROKERS OR BANKS

 

 

You may buy or sell shares of the Funds through banks or investment professionals, including brokers, and they may charge you a transaction fee for this service.

 

Certain features offered by the Funds, such as Premier Services, minimum initial investment or subsequent investment amounts, may be modified or may not be available through other institutions.

 

Once you have established an account through an institution or investment professional, any subsequent transactions for, or questions about, that account must be made through them.

 

The Funds and/or the Advisor may enter into agreements with various brokerage or other firms pursuant to which such firms may accept orders on behalf of the Funds and provide administrative services with respect to customers who are beneficial owners of shares of the Funds. The Funds and/or the Advisor may compensate such firms in amounts based on assets of customers invested in the Funds.

 

The Advisor may pay additional compensation, out of profits derived from the Advisor’s management fee and not as an additional charge to the Funds, to certain financial institutions (which may include banks, securities dealers, third-party record keepers, and other industry professionals) for the sale and/or distribution of the Funds’ shares or the retention and/or servicing of shareholders’ accounts (“revenue sharing”). These payments are in addition to any record keeping or sub-transfer agency fees payable by the Fund, or any other fees described in the fee tables or elsewhere in the Prospectus or SAI. Examples of revenue sharing payments include, but are not limited to, payment to financial institutions for “shelf space” or access to a third party platform or fund offering list or other marketing programs, including but not limited to, inclusion of the Funds on preferred or recommended sales lists, mutual fund “supermarket” platforms and other formal sales programs; granting the Advisor access to the financial institution’s sales force; granting the Advisor access to the financial institution’s conferences and meetings; and obtaining other forms of marketing support. The level of revenue sharing payments made to financial institutions may be a fixed fee or based on one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets and/or number of accounts of the Funds attributable to the financial institution, or other factors as agreed to by the Advisor and the financial institution or any combination thereof. The amount of these revenue sharing payments is determined at the discretion of the Advisor, by agreement with the financial institutions, from time to time. The revenue sharing payments may be substantial, and may be different for different financial institutions depending on the services provided. Such payments may provide an incentive for the financial institution to make shares of the Funds available to its customers and may allow the Funds greater access to the financial institutions customers.

If one mutual fund sponsor provides greater financial assistance than another, your financial advisor may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund complex over another. Please speak with your financial advisor to learn more about the total amounts paid to your financial advisor and his or her firm by the Fund and/or the Advisor and by sponsors of other mutual funds he or she may recommend to you. You should also

review disclosures made by your financial advisor at the time of purchase.

SHAREHOLDER REPORTS

We mail annual and semi-annual reports and prospectuses unless you elect to receive them via e-mail by filling out the consent form on our web site.

Annual reports are dated September 30, the close of the Funds’ fiscal year, and contain important information about the Funds, including the market conditions and investment strategies that affected performance during the period, portfolio holdings and audited financial statements. Semi-annual reports are dated March 31 and contain information about the Funds’ performance and portfolio holdings as well as unaudited financial statements.

To help keep Fund expenses low, generally we send a single copy of a prospectus or shareholder report to shareholders of the same household. If your household currently receives a single copy of a prospectus or shareholder report and you would prefer to receive multiple copies, please call Shareholder Services at 800.551.1700. We will begin sending you individual copies within 30 days after receiving your request.

Additional copies of shareholder reports are available by downloading them from our web site or calling a Shareholder Services representative.

ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

Account statements will be mailed quarterly, or you may receive quarterly statements via e-mail if you consent to Electronic Document Delivery on our web site. We will send you a confirmation statement after every transaction that affects your account balance or your account registration. If you invest through the automatic investment plan, you will receive confirmation of your purchases quarterly.

We may consolidate statements for accounts with the same address and social security number. If you would like to receive individual account statements, please call or write to Wasatch Funds. We will begin sending you individual account statements within 30 days after receiving your request.

ESTABLISHING A HOUSEHOLD RELATIONSHIP

You may also establish a Household Relationship for your current accounts or add accounts to your existing relationship by completing the Household Relationship Form. Our householding service combines all of your account statements and confirmations into a single envelope. It also combines financial reports and prospectuses for everyone in your “household” into one mailing. Establishing a Household Relationship will not affect the ownership status of the accounts in your Household Relationship. All accounts added to a Household Relationship must have the same address. The following types of accounts are ineligible for inclusion in a Household Relationship: Corporate, Fiduciary, Estate, Investment Club, Club, Lodge and Association.

If you would like to discontinue your Household Relationship and receive individual account statements, please call or write to Wasatch Funds. We will begin sending you individual account statements 30 days after receiving your request.

VERIFICATION OF ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

You must contact Wasatch Funds in writing regarding any errors or discrepancies within 60 days after the date of the statement confirming a transaction. We may deny your ability to refute a transaction if we do not hear from you within 60 days after the confirmation statement date.

COST BASIS TAX REPORTING

For those securities defined as “covered” under current IRS cost basis tax reporting regulations, each Fund is responsible for maintaining accurate cost basis and tax lot information for tax reporting purposes. The Funds are not responsible for the reliability or accuracy of the information for those securities that are not “covered.” The Funds and their service providers do not provide tax advice. You should consult independent sources, which may include a tax professional, with respect to any decisions you may make with respect to choosing a tax lot identification method.

As of January 1, 2012, federal law requires that mutual fund companies report their shareholders’ cost basis, gain/loss, and holding period to the IRS on each Fund’s shareholders’ Consolidated Form 1099s when “covered” securities are sold. Covered securities are any regulated investment company and/or dividend reinvestment plan shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012.

Each Fund has chosen average cost as its standing (default) tax lot identification method for all shareholders. A tax lot identification method is the way the Fund will determine which specific shares are

 

31


Table of Contents

deemed to be sold when there are multiple purchases on different dates at differing net asset values, and the entire position is not sold at one time. Each Fund’s standing tax lot identification method is the method covered shares will be reported on your Consolidated Form 1099 if you do not select a specific tax lot identification method. You may choose a method different than a Fund’s standing method and will be able to do so at the time of your purchase or upon the sale of covered shares. Please refer to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service regulations or consult your tax advisor with regard to your personal circumstances.

INVOLUNTARY REDEMPTION

The Funds reserve the right to redeem the shares held in any account if the account balance falls below $500 unless the account has an automatic investment plan. Your account will not be closed if the drop is due to share price fluctuations. Shareholders will be given at least 60 days’ written notice before involuntary redemptions are made. Shareholders can prevent involuntary redemptions by restoring the account to the minimum investment amount during the 60 days.

EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES

The Funds or its agents may, in case of emergency, temporarily suspend telephone transactions and other shareholder services. It may be difficult to reach the Funds by telephone during periods of substantial economic or market change or in emergency situations. Under these circumstances, you may wish to consider purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares by mail, overnight express delivery or online. The Funds can suspend redemptions and/or delay payments of redemption proceeds when the NYSE is closed due to financial conditions or during emergency circumstances, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRAUD

The Funds and its agents will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions provided reasonable procedures to prevent fraudulent transactions have been followed. Procedures to reasonably assure that instructions are genuine include requesting verification of various pieces of personal and account information, recording telephone transactions, confirming transactions in writing or online and restricting transmittal of redemption proceeds to preauthorized destinations.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS POLICY

The Funds reserves the right to cancel a purchase if a check or electronic funds transfer does not clear your bank. The Funds will charge your account a $20 fee and you will be responsible for any losses or fees imposed by your bank and any losses that may be incurred by the Funds as a result of the canceled purchase. If you are already a shareholder in the Funds, the Funds may redeem shares in your account(s) to cover losses due to fluctuations in share price.

THIRD PARTY CHECKS

To guard against check fraud, the Funds will not accept checks made payable to third parties.

CHANGES TO BANK INFORMATION

Requests to change the bank information on your account must be made in writing, signed by all account holders and accompanied by a Medallion signature guarantee.

REGISTRATION CHANGES

To change the name on an account, the shares are generally transferred to a new account. A new application, legal documentation and a Medallion signature guarantee is required.

ADDRESS CHANGES

To change the address on your account, visit our web site, call a shareholder services representative or send a written request signed by all account owners. Include the name of your Fund(s), the account number(s), the name(s) on the account and both the old and new addresses. Certain options, including redemptions, may be suspended for 30 days following an address change unless a Medallion signature guarantee is provided.

DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

In addition to any increase in the value of shares which the Funds may achieve, you may receive dividends and capital gain distributions from the Funds.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends from stocks and interest earned from other investments are the Funds’ main sources of investment income. It is intended that substantially all of the Funds’ net investment income, if any, will be distributed at least annually as dividends to shareholders. As noted below, the Funds expect that, as a result of its objectives and strategies, distributions (if any) will consist primarily of capital gains.

CAPITAL GAINS

When the Funds sell portfolio securities it may realize a capital gain or loss, depending on whether the security is sold for more or less than its adjusted cost basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually.

BUYING A DIVIDEND

Purchasing shares of the Funds shortly before it makes dividends or capital gain distributions will have the effect of reducing the share price by the amount of the distribution. This is sometimes referred to as “buying a dividend” because, although the distribution is in effect a return of a portion of the purchase price, it is taxable.

Unless you are investing in a tax-deferred account like an IRA or Education Savings Account, you may want to consider waiting to invest until after the Fund makes a distribution.

REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends and capital gain distributions made by the Funds are automatically applied to purchase additional shares of the Funds at the share price on the payable date unless you elect to have distributions paid to you in cash. You may change whether distributions are reinvested or paid in cash at any time by writing to the transfer agent. Changes will be effective for distributions with a record date on or after the date the transfer agent receives your request.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning shares of the Funds. This section is current as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and these summaries do not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, these summaries generally do not describe your situation if you are a corporation, a non-U.S. person, a broker/dealer, or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section does not describe your state, local or foreign tax consequences.

This federal income tax summary is based in part on the advice of counsel to the Fund. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could disagree with any conclusions set forth in this section. In addition, our counsel was not asked to review, and has not reached a conclusion with respect to the federal income tax treatment of the assets to be invested in the Funds. This may not be sufficient for you to use for the purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law.

As with any investment, you should seek advice based on your individual circumstances from your own tax advisor.

The Funds intend to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the federal tax laws. If the Funds qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute its income as required by the tax law, the Funds generally will not pay federal income taxes. Dividends paid from the Funds’ net investment income and net short-term capital gains generally will be taxable as ordinary income, whether paid in cash or reinvested as additional shares. It is possible that a portion of the dividends paid from the net investment income of the Funds, will constitute “qualified dividends” eligible for the maximum federal income tax rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013. In certain cases (for example with some capital gains attributable to REIT shares) a higher rate applies. The Funds will inform their shareholders of the portion of its dividends (if any) that constitutes “qualified dividends.”

Distributions paid from the Funds’ long-term capital gains and properly reported by the Funds as capital gain distributions generally are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time you held your

shares. The Funds expect that, as a result of its objectives and strategies, distributions (if any) will consist primarily of capital gains.

The tax status of your distributions from the Funds is not affected by whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares or receive them in cash. The tax laws may require you to treat distributions made to you in January as if you had received them on December 31 of the previous year. Under the “Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,” income from the Funds may also be subject to a new 3.8 percent “Medicare tax” imposed for taxable years beginning after 2012. This tax will generally apply to your net investment income if your adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts, which are $250,000 in the case of married couples filing joint returns and $200,000 in the case of single individuals.

To the extent that the Funds invest in REITs, the REITs in which the Funds invests may generate significant non-cash deductions, such as depreciation on real estate holdings, while having greater cash flow to distribute to their shareholders. If a REIT distributes more cash than its current or accumulated earnings and profits, a return of capital results. Similarly, the Funds may pay a return of capital distribution to you by distributing more cash than its current or accumulated earnings and profits. The cost basis of your shares will be decreased by the amount of returned capital (but not below zero), which may result in a larger capital gain or smaller capital loss when you sell your shares. To the extent such a distribution exceeds your cost basis in your shares, you generally will be treated as realizing a taxable gain from the sale or exchange of your shares. The actual composition for tax reporting purposes will depend on the year-end tax characterizations of dividends paid by certain securities held by the Funds and tax regulations.

Gain or loss upon the sale of shares of the Funds generally will be treated as a capital gain or loss, provided that (as is usually the case) the shares represented a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. The gain or loss will be considered long-term if the shareholder has held the shares for more than one year. The gain or loss on shares held for one year or less will be considered short-term and taxed at the same rates as ordinary income. If you receive a capital gain distribution from the Funds and sell their shares at a loss after holding them for six months or less, the loss will be recharacterized as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain distribution received.

The Funds are required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of dividend payments, capital gain distributions, and redemption proceeds at a rate set forth in applicable IRS Rules and Regulations for certain shareholders who have not certified that the social security number or taxpayer identification number they have supplied is correct and that they are not subject to backup withholding because of previous underreporting to the IRS. This backup withholding requirement generally does not apply to shareholders that are corporations or certain tax-exempt organizations.

To the extent the Funds invest in foreign securities, it may be required to pay withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. If the Funds have more than 50% of its total assets invested in securities of foreign corporations at the end of its taxable year, it may make an election that will result in the dividends taxed to you including your share of taxes paid to other countries and that may permit you either to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to foreign taxes paid by the Funds or to deduct those amounts as an itemized deduction on your tax return. If the Funds make this election, you will be notified and provided with sufficient information to calculate your foreign tax credit or the amount you may deduct as foreign taxes paid.

If you are a foreign investor (i.e., an investor other than a U.S. citizen or resident or a U.S. corporation, partnership, estate or trust), you should be aware that, generally, subject to applicable tax treaties, distributions from the Funds will be characterized as dividends for federal income tax purposes (other than dividends which the Funds designate as capital gain dividends) and will be subject to U.S. income taxes, including withholding taxes, subject to certain exceptions. However, distributions received by a foreign investor from the Funds that are properly designated by the Funds as capital gain dividends may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, provided that the Funds make certain elections and certain other conditions are met.

In the case of dividends with respect to taxable years of the Funds beginning prior to 2012, distributions from a Fund that are properly designated by the Fund as an interest-related dividend attributable to certain interest income received by a Fund or as a short-term capital gain dividend attributable to certain net short-term capital gain income received by a Fund may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes when received by certain foreign investors, provided that a Fund makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met.

Table of Contents

Distributions after December 31, 2012 may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax of 30% in the case of distributions to (i) certain non-U.S. financial institutions that have not entered into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to collect and disclose certain information and (ii) certain other non-U.S. entities that do not provide certain certifications and information about the entity’s U.S. owners.

WHEN YOU WILL RECEIVE TAX INFORMATION

After the end of each calendar year, you will be sent information on redemptions, dividends and long-term capital gain distributions for tax purposes, including information as to the portion taxable as ordinary income, the portion (if any) taxable as “qualified dividends,” and the portion taxable as long-term capital gains.

Account tax information will also be sent to the IRS.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights tables are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Wasatch Fund for the past five years or since inception if a Fund has been in operation less than five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions).

The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in Investor Class Shares of each Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Institutional Class shares of each Fund do not have any operating history as of the date of this prospectus.

For the Funds specified below, other than the Large Cap Value Fund, Financial Highlights for the periods ended after and including September 30, 2006 were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Funds’ financial statements, is included in the annual report which is available upon request.

The Large Cap Value Fund commenced operations on December 15, 2008, upon the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Wasatch Fund. With the reorganization, the Funds assumed the financial and performance history of the applicable Predecessor Fund. Effective September 19, 2008, the Predecessor Fund changed its fiscal year end to September 30. The Financial Highlights for the Large Cap Value for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Funds’ financial statements, is included in the annual report which is available upon request. The information for all periods prior to September 30, 2008 was audited by other independent registered public accounting firms whose reports expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Wasatch Funds was incorporated under Utah law on November 18, 1986 and reincorporated as a Minnesota corporation in January 1998 and reorganized into a Massachusetts business trust on March 31, 2010. The Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund, a series of the Trust, commenced operations on December 15, 2008, the date of the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of the Coventry Group, a registered investment company. As of the date of the acquisition, all of the holders of issued and outstanding shares of the Predecessor Fund received shares of the applicable Large Cap Value Fund. With the reorganization, the Fund assumed the financial and performance history of the Predecessor Fund. Effective September 19, 2008, the Predecessor Fund changed its fiscal year end to September 30. Institutional Class Shares of the Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund each commenced operations on             , 2012.

Each Fund is advised by Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”).

Open/Closed Status of Funds. The Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are each open to investors.

FUND INVESTMENTS

Wasatch Funds is a registered open-end management investment company currently offering 19 separate Funds. The Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund are each diversified funds.

Each Fund intends to diversify its assets to the extent necessary to qualify for tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). To so qualify (i) not more than 25% of the total value of each Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other regulated investment companies) or of any two or more issuers controlled by each of the Funds, which, pursuant to the regulations under the Code, may be deemed to be engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or businesses, and (ii) with respect to 50% of the total value of each Fund’s assets (a) not more than 5% of its total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other regulated investment companies) and (b) each Fund may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other regulated investment companies).

The Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund are each referred to as an equity fund (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”).

The Prospectus has a description concerning the investment objectives and policies of each of the Funds. The investment policies of the Funds, unless specifically designated as fundamental, are non-fundamental policies and may be changed by the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) without the authorization of the Fund’s shareholders. There can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve its objective or goal.

Fund Names and Investment Policies. The Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund have names that suggest a focus on a particular type of investment. In accordance with Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each of these Funds has adopted a policy that it will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its assets in investments of the type suggested by its name. For this policy, “assets” means net assets plus the amount of any

borrowings for investment purposes. In addition, in appropriate circumstances, synthetic investments may be included in the 80% basket if they have economic characteristics similar to the other investments included in the basket. A Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in such a manner is not a “fundamental” one, which means that it may be changed without a vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares as defined in the 1940 Act. However, under Rule 35d-1, shareholders must be given written notice at least 60 days prior to any change by a Fund of its 80% investment policy.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

Each of the Funds’ principal investment strategies and the risks associated with those strategies are described in the Prospectus. The following section describes in greater detail than the Prospectus, the Funds’ investment strategies and the associated risks.

Borrowing to Purchase Securities (Leveraging). The Funds may use leverage, that is, borrow money to purchase securities. Leverage increases both investment opportunity and investment risk. If the investment gains on securities purchased with borrowed money exceed the borrowing costs (including interest), the net asset value of a Fund will rise. On the other hand, if the investment gains fail to cover the borrowing costs or if there are losses, the net asset value of a Fund will decrease.

The 1940 Act requires borrowings to have 300% net asset coverage, which means, in effect, that each Fund would be permitted to borrow up to an amount equal to one-third of the value of its total assets. If a Fund fails to meet this asset coverage test for any reason including adverse market conditions, it will be required to reduce borrowings within three business days to the extent necessary to meet the test. This requirement may make it necessary to sell a portion of a Fund’s securities at a time when it is disadvantageous to do so. The amount a Fund can borrow may also be limited by applicable margin limitations of the Federal Reserve Board. Briefly, these provide that banks subject to the Federal Reserve Act may not make loans for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stocks if the loan is secured directly or indirectly by a margin stock, to the extent that the loan is greater than the maximum loan value of the collateral securing the loan.

Despite the potential risks of leveraging, the Advisor believes there may be times when it may be advantageous to the applicable Funds to borrow to make investments. For example, when a portfolio manager perceives unusual opportunities in the market or in a particular sector, the portfolio manager may want to be more than 100% invested. Borrowing may also be considered when stock prices and trading volume are not favorable for securities a portfolio manager wants to sell, but stock prices and trading volume are favorable for securities the portfolio manager wants to buy. In these situations, which arise infrequently, borrowing may allow a portfolio manager to take advantage of favorable opportunities to purchase desired securities without having to sell securities at unfavorable prices.

Convertible Securities. The Funds may invest in convertible securities. These are generally bonds or preferred stocks that are convertible into a corporation’s common stock. Convertible securities entitle the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt or the dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible securities mature or are redeemed, converted or exchanged. Prior to conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to ordinary debt securities or preferred stocks in that they normally provide a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stock of the same or similar issuers. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and therefore generally entail less risk of loss of principal than the corporation’s common stock.

Table of Contents

In selecting convertible securities for the Funds or the Advisor will consider, among other factors, its evaluation of the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities; the interest or dividend income generated by the securities; the potential for capital appreciation of the securities and the underlying common stocks; the prices of the securities relative to other comparable securities and to the underlying common stocks; whether the securities are entitled to the benefits of sinking funds or other protective conditions; diversification of a Fund’s portfolio as to issuers; and whether the securities are rated by a rating agency and, if so, the ratings assigned.

The value of convertible securities is a function of their investment value (determined by yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and their conversion value (their worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The investment value of convertible securities is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and by the credit standing of the issuer and other factors. The conversion value of convertible securities is determined by the market price of the underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible securities is governed principally by their investment value. To the extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible securities will be increasingly influenced by their conversion value. In addition, convertible securities generally sell at a premium over their conversion value determined by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding fixed income securities.

Capital appreciation for a Fund may result from an improvement in the credit standing of an issuer whose securities are held in the Fund or from a general lowering of interest rates, or a combination of both. Conversely, a reduction in the credit standing of an issuer whose securities are held by a Fund or a general increase in interest rates may be expected to result in capital depreciation to the Fund. Convertible securities may have mandatory sinking fund provisions prior to maturity, a negative feature when interest rates decline.

Refer to Appendix A for a description of preferred stock and long- and short-term debt ratings.

Corporate Bonds. The Funds may invest in corporate bonds that are rated, at the time of purchase, in the four highest categories by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, Inc., a division of McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) or other nationally recognized rating agencies or unrated securities deemed by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, as applicable, to be of comparable quality. The Funds (other than the Large Cap Value Fund) may also invest in corporate bonds that are lower rated (Moody’s Ba or lower or S&P BB or lower). These lower rated bonds are also known as “non-investment grade debt securities” or “junk bonds.” See Appendix A for a description of ratings on investment grade and non-investment grade debt securities.

Derivatives. The Funds may use derivatives, such as futures, options, options on futures, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. A derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on (or “derived from”) a traditional security (such as a stock or bond), an asset (such as a commodity like gold), or a market index (such as the S&P 500). A derivative contract will obligate or entitle a Fund to deliver or receive an asset or cash payment based on the change in one or more securities, currencies, indices or other assets. The Funds may use derivatives for hedging purposes, including to attempt to protect against possible changes in the market value of securities held or to be purchased for a Fund’s portfolio resulting from securities markets, currency exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations (i.e., to hedge); protect the Fund’s unrealized gains reflected in the value of its portfolio securities; facilitate the sale of such securities for investment purposes; and as a substitute for buying or selling securities, securities indices or currencies. The Funds (other than the Large Cap Value Fund) may also use

Table of Contents

derivatives for non-hedging (speculative) purposes including to enhance a Fund’s returns. A Fund may use any or all of these investment techniques and different types of derivative securities may be purchased at any time and in any combination. There is no particular strategy that dictates the use of one technique rather than another, as use of derivatives is a function of numerous variables, including market conditions.

The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are market risk, credit risk, management risk and liquidity risk. The primary risk with many derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative instrument. These risks are heightened when the management team uses derivatives to enhance the Fund’s return or as a substitute for a position or security, rather than solely to hedge (or offset) the risk of a position or security held by the Fund. In addition, certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses regardless of the size of the initial investment. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuations (particularly, for non-standardized contracts) and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the relevant assets, rates and indices. Derivatives may also be less liquid and may be difficult or impossible to sell or terminate at a desirable time or price. Derivatives may also involve credit risk which is the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of a counterparty to comply with the terms of a derivative instrument. The counterparty risk for exchange-traded derivatives is generally less than for privately-negotiated or over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, since generally a clearing agency, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded instrument, provides a guarantee of performance. For privately-negotiated instruments, there is no similar clearing agency guarantee. Use of derivatives may also increase the amount and affect the timing and character of taxes payable by shareholders. The Fund may lose money on derivatives or may not fully benefit on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. A Fund’s ability to benefit from derivatives is largely dependent on the Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s ability to use such strategies successfully. For more information about the various types of derivatives, see the sections in this SAI discussing such securities including Futures Contracts; Put and Call Options and Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies.

Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are standardized, exchange-traded contracts that require delivery of the underlying financial instrument (such as a bond, currency or stock index) at a specified price, on a specified future date. The buyer of the futures contract agrees to buy the underlying financial instruments from the seller at a fixed purchase price upon the expiration of the contract. The seller of the futures contract agrees to sell the underlying financial instrument to the buyer at expiration at the fixed sales price. In most cases, delivery never takes place. Instead, both the buyer and the seller, acting independently of each other, usually liquidate their long and short positions before the contract expires; the buyer sells futures and the seller buys futures.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a Fund’s exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a Fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures may be used for hedging (i.e., to protect against adverse future price movements in a Fund’s portfolio securities, or in securities a Fund intends to purchase). For example, if the

Table of Contents

portfolio manager thinks that the stock market might decline, the portfolio manager could sell stock index futures to safeguard a Fund’s portfolio. If the market declines as anticipated, the value of stocks in a Fund’s portfolio would decrease, but the value of a Fund’s futures contracts would increase. The Funds (other than the Large Cap Value Fund) may also use futures contracts to speculate on the market. For example, the portfolio manager might buy stock index futures on the expectation that the value of a particular index will rise, even though the stocks comprising the index are unrelated to stocks held or intended to be purchased by a Fund. Using futures for speculation, however, involves significant risk since futures contracts are highly leveraged instruments. When a portfolio manager enters into a futures contract, the manager needs to put up only a small fraction of the value of the underlying contract as collateral, yet gains or losses will be based on the full value of the contract.

The use of futures contracts would expose the Funds to additional investment risks and transaction costs. Risks include: the risk that securities prices will not move in the direction that the Advisor anticipates; an imperfect correlation between the price of the futures contract and movements in the prices of any securities being hedged; the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular futures contract and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits; and leverage risk, which is the risk that adverse price movements in a futures contract can result in a loss substantially greater than a Fund’s initial investment in that contract. A relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in an immediate and substantial loss (or gain) to the Fund.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit “initial margin” with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract (or written options thereon) is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract’s value. If the value of either party’s position declines, that party will be required to make additional “variation margin” payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of the investment limitations of the Funds. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a Fund, the Fund may be entitled to a return of the margin owed only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM’s other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the respective Fund. Because of the low margin deposits required, futures trading involves an extremely high degree of leverage. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in a substantial loss as well as a gain, to an investor.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. The Funds may engage in options and futures transactions related to foreign currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency. The purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indexes, as discussed above. The Funds may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease exposure to different

Table of Contents

foreign currencies. The Funds may also purchase and write currency options in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of the Funds’ investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a yen-denominated security from a decline in the yen, but will not protect the Funds against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer’s creditworthiness. Because the value of the Funds’ foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the Funds’ investments exactly over time.

Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions. The Funds will comply with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to coverage of options and futures strategies by mutual funds, and, if the guidelines so require, will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or options strategy is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable assets. As a result, there is a possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the Funds’ assets could impede portfolio management or the Funds’ ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

Limitations on Futures and Commodity Options Transactions. The Funds have filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” with the National Futures Association and are therefore not subject to registration or regulation as a pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act. Such Funds intend to comply with Section 4.5 of the regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act.

The Funds’ investments in futures contracts and commodity options, and such Funds’ policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit. With respect to positions in commodity futures or commodity options contracts which do not come within the meaning and intent of bona fide hedging in the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) rules, the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish such positions will not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the qualifying entity’s portfolio, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered into; and, provided further, that in the case of an option that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount as defined by CFTC Rule 190.01(x) may be excluded in computing such 5%.

Put and Call Options. The Funds may purchase and write put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities, indices or futures contracts, may or may not be listed on a domestic or non-U.S. securities exchange and may or may not be issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell a security or other instrument to the writer of the option at a stated price during the term of the option. A call option gives the purchaser the right to purchase a security or other instrument from the writer of the option at a stated price during the term of the option. The Funds may use put and call options for a variety of purposes. For example, if the portfolio manager wishes to hedge a security owned by a Fund against a decline in price, the portfolio manager may purchase a put option on the underlying security; i.e., purchase the right to sell the security to a third party at a stated price. If the underlying security then declines in price, the portfolio manager can exercise the put option, thus limiting the amount of loss resulting from the decline in price. Similarly, if the portfolio manager intends to purchase a security at some date in the future, the portfolio manager may purchase a call option on the security today in order to hedge against an increase in its price before the intended purchase date. Put and call options also can be used for

Table of Contents

speculative purposes for the Funds. For example, if a portfolio manager believes that the price of stocks generally is going to rise, the manager may purchase a call option on a stock index, the components of which are unrelated to the stocks held or intended to be purchased.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. The Funds may purchase put and call options. By purchasing a put option, a Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indexes of securities prices and futures contracts. A Fund may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it to expire, by exercising the option or if able, by selling the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the Fund exercises the option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A Fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if a security’s price falls substantially. However, if the underlying instrument’s price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium paid, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option’s strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if the security’s price falls. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if the security’s price does not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Each Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in purchased options.

Writing Put and Call Options. The Funds may write (i.e., sell) put and call options. When a Fund writes a put option, it takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option’s purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the Fund assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option’s underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. When writing an option on a futures contract the Fund would be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts. The Fund may seek to terminate its position in put options it writes before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for put options the Fund has written, however, the Fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside assets to cover its position. If the underlying security’s price rises, however, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received.

If the security’s price remains the same over time, it is likely that the put writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If the security’s price falls, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Table of Contents

Writing a call option obligates a Fund to sell or deliver the option’s underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in the security’s price increase.

The Funds will write only “covered” put and call options.

A call option written by a Fund is “covered” if the Fund: (a) owns the underlying security covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration upon conversion or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio; or (b) meets the asset coverage requirements described under “Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions” above.

A put option written by a Fund is “covered” if the Fund: (a) holds a put on the same security having the same principal amount as the put option it has written and the exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put written; or (b) meets the asset coverage requirements described under “Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions” above.

If options are “covered” by the Fund meeting the asset coverage requirements, the Fund’s economic exposure is not limited as it would be if the options are “covered” as described in paragraphs (a) above.

OTC Options. The Funds may engage in over-the-counter (“OTC”) options transactions. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows a Fund greater flexibility to tailor options to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit and default risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Additional Risks of Options and Futures Contracts.

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the underlying assets may go up or down. Adverse movements in the value of an underlying asset can expose the Fund to losses. Market risk is the primary risk associated with derivative transactions, such as futures and options. Derivative instruments may include elements of leverage and, accordingly, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instrument in relation to the underlying asset may be magnified. The successful use of futures and options depends upon a variety of factors, particularly the portfolio manager’s ability to predict movements of the securities, currencies and commodities markets, which may require different skills than predicting changes in the prices of individual securities. There can be no assurance that any particular strategy adopted will succeed.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of a counterparty to comply with the terms of a derivative instrument. The counterparty risk for exchange-traded derivatives is generally less than for privately-negotiated or OTC derivatives,

 

10


Table of Contents

since generally a clearing agency, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded instrument, provides a guarantee of performance. For privately-negotiated instruments, there is no similar clearing agency guarantee. In all transactions, the Fund will bear the risk that the counterparty will default, and this could result in a loss of the expected benefit of the derivative transactions and possibly other losses to the Fund.

Lack of Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a Fund’s current or anticipated investments exactly. The Funds may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which they typically invest, which involve a risk that the respective Fund’s options or futures positions will not track the performance of the Fund’s other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match the Fund’s investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect a security’s price the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options, futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. The Funds may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities they wish to hedge or intend to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a Fund’s options or futures positions are poorly correlated with other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument’s current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract’s price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for the respective Fund to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. In addition, if unable to close a future position, in the event of adverse price movements, a Fund would be required to make daily cash payments in order to maintain its required margin. In such situation, if a Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell other portfolio securities at an inopportune time to meet daily margin requirements. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require the applicable Fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, the Fund’s access to other assets held to cover options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”). The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are investment companies, the shares of which are bought and sold on a securities exchange. The securities of an ETF are redeemable only in larger aggregation of a specified number of shares and generally on an in-kind basis. Generally, certain ETFs may represent a portfolio of securities designed to track the composition and/or performance of specific indexes or portfolio of specific indexes, while other ETFs may be

 

11


Table of Contents

actively managed that do not track an index (generally referred to as actively-managed ETFs). The market prices of ETF investments will fluctuate in accordance with both changes in the underlying portfolio securities of the investment company and also due to supply and demand of the investment company’s shares on the exchange upon which its shares are traded. Index-based investments may not replicate or otherwise match the composition or performance of their specified index due to transaction costs, among other things. Examples of ETFs include: SPDRs®, Select Sector SPDRs®, DIAMONDSSM, NASDAQ 100 Shares and iShares.

There are many reasons a Fund would purchase an ETF. For example, a Fund could purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities in which the ETF invests and the investment strategies of the ETF. However, lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities and ETFs have operating expenses, including management fees that increase their costs versus the costs of owning the underlying securities directly. The Funds may purchase ETFs to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, rules thereunder or as described below, to the extent permitted by exemptive orders granted to the various ETFs by the SEC. (See also the description of “Securities of Other Investment Companies”).

Foreign Currency Transactions. The Funds may hold foreign currency deposits from time to time and may convert dollars and foreign currencies in the foreign exchange markets. Currency conversion involves dealer spreads and other costs, although commissions usually are not charged. Currencies may be exchanged on a spot (i.e., cash) basis, or by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date and price. Forward contracts generally are traded on an interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The Funds may use currency forward contracts to manage currency risks and to facilitate transactions in foreign securities. The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by the Funds.

In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Funds may enter into currency forward contracts to fix a definite price for the purchase or sale in advance of the trade’s settlement date. This technique is sometimes referred to as a “settlement hedge” or “transaction hedge.” The Advisor expects to enter into settlement hedges in the normal course of managing the respective Fund’s foreign investments. The Funds could also enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by the Advisor.

The Funds may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if the Funds owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, they could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound’s value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a “position hedge,” would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. The Funds could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling—for example, by entering into a forward contract to sell European Currency Units in return for U.S. dollars. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a “proxy hedge,” could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a simple hedge into U.S. dollars.

 

12


Table of Contents

Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover forward currency contracts.

Successful use of forward currency contracts will depend on the Advisor’s skill in analyzing and predicting currency values. Forward contracts may substantially change the respective Fund’s investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates, and could result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as the Advisor anticipates. For example, if a currency’s value rose at a time when the Advisor had hedged the Funds, respectively, by selling that currency in exchange for U.S. dollars, the Funds would be unable to participate in the currency’s appreciation. If the Advisor hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, the Funds could realize currency losses from the hedge and the security position at the same time if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if the Advisor increases the applicable Fund’s exposure to a foreign currency, and that currency’s value declines, the Funds will realize a loss. There is no assurance that the Advisor’s use of forward currency contracts will be advantageous to the Funds or that it will hedge at an appropriate time. The policies described in this section are non-fundamental policies of the Funds.

Foreign Securities. The Core Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund may invest up to 20% of their respective total assets at the time of purchase in securities issued by foreign companies. The Large Cap Value Fund may invest in securities issued by foreign companies directly or through sponsored and unsponsored American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts. Securities issued by foreign companies incorporated outside of the United States, but whose securities are publicly traded in the United States, directly or through sponsored and unsponsored American Depositary Receipts or Global Depositary Receipts are not defined as “Foreign Companies” and are not, therefore, subject to the foregoing limitations. Investments in foreign countries involve certain risks which are not typically associated with U.S. investments.

Additional Risks of Foreign Securities.

Foreign Securities Markets. Trading volume on foreign country and, in particular, emerging market stock exchanges is substantially less than that on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Further, securities of some foreign and, in particular, emerging market companies are less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Fixed commissions on foreign exchanges are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges. The Funds endeavor to achieve the most favorable net results on their portfolio transactions and may be able to purchase securities on other stock exchanges where commissions are negotiable. Foreign stock exchanges, brokers, custodians and listed companies may be subject to less government supervision and regulation than in the United States. The customary settlement time for foreign securities may be longer than the customary three day settlement time for U.S. securities.

Companies in foreign countries are not generally subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. Consequently, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company. Certain markets may require payment for securities before delivery and delays may be encountered in settling securities transactions. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection against failure by other parties to complete transactions. There may be limited legal recourse against an issuer in the event of a default on a debt instrument.

Currency Risk. The value of the assets of a Fund, as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. A change in the value of any foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar may cause a corresponding change in the dollar value of a Fund’s assets that are denominated or traded in that country. In addition, a Fund may incur costs in connection with conversion between various currencies.

Political and Economic Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to heightened political and economic risks, particularly in underdeveloped or developing countries which may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few industries. In some countries, there is the risk that the government could seize or nationalize companies, could impose additional withholding taxes on dividends or interest income payable on securities, could impose exchange controls or adopt other restrictions that could affect a Fund’s investments.

Regulatory Risk. Foreign companies not publicly traded in the U.S. are not subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies. There may be less publicly available information about such companies. Foreign companies are not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.

Foreign Tax Risk. The Funds’ income from foreign issuers may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes. The Funds may also be subject to taxes on trading profits or on transfers of securities in some countries. To the extent foreign income taxes are paid by the Funds, shareholders may be entitled to a credit or deduction for U.S. tax purposes.

Transaction Costs. Transaction costs of buying and selling foreign securities, including brokerage, tax and custody charges, are generally higher than those of domestic transactions.

Emerging Markets. The Funds may invest in securities issued by companies domiciled in countries with emerging markets. Investing in securities of issuers domiciled in countries with emerging securities markets entail greater risks than investing in securities of issuers domiciled in countries with more mature securities markets. These risks may include (i) less social, political and economic stability; (ii) small current size of markets for such securities and low or nonexistent trading volume, which result in lack of liquidity and greater price volatility; (iii) certain national policies which may restrict the Funds’ investment opportunities, including restrictions on investments in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to national interests; (iv) foreign taxation; and (v) the absence of developed structures governing private or foreign investment or allowing for judicial redress for injury to private property.

Illiquid Securities. Under SEC rules, an investment in a security is generally deemed to be “illiquid” if it cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which such security is valued by the Funds.

The Board has authorized the Advisor to make liquidity determinations with respect to certain securities, including Rule 144A securities. A foreign security that may be freely traded on or through the facilities of an offshore exchange or other established offshore securities market is not deemed to be an illiquid security.

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities including “restricted” securities and private placements for which there is no public market value.

Securities in which a Fund may invest include securities issued by corporations without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), such as securities issued in reliance on

 

14


Table of Contents

the so-called “private placement” exemption from registration which is afforded by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act (“Section 4(2) securities”). Section 4(2) securities are restricted as to disposition under the Federal securities laws, and generally are sold to institutional investors such as the Funds who agree that they are purchasing the securities for investment and not with a view to public distribution. Any resale must also generally be made in an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) securities are normally resold to other institutional investors through or with the assistance of the issuer or investment dealers who make a market in such Section 4(2) securities, thus providing liquidity. Any such restricted securities will be considered to be illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitations on investments in illiquid securities unless, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, the Advisor has determined such securities to be liquid because such securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are readily saleable. The Large Cap Value Fund will limit its respective investment in Section 4(2) securities to not more than 10% of their respective net assets.

The fair value of these securities will be determined by the Joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor and the Funds with oversight by the Board of Trustees in accordance with Board-approved Pricing Policies and Procedures. Given the inherent uncertainties of estimating fair market value, there can be no assurance that the value placed on a security will be appropriate in terms of how the security may be ultimately valued on the public market. These securities may never be publicly traded and the Funds may not be able to easily liquidate positions in these securities.

If illiquid securities exceed 15% of a Fund’s net assets after the time of purchase, the Fund will take steps to reduce, in an orderly fashion, its holdings of illiquid securities. Because illiquid securities may not be readily marketable, the Advisor may not be able to dispose of them in a timely manner. As a result, the Fund may be forced to hold illiquid securities while their prices depreciate. Depreciation in the prices of illiquid securities may cause the net asset value of a Fund to decline.

Lending of Portfolio Securities. Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, the Funds may lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions, provided that outstanding loans do not exceed in the aggregate 33  1/3% of the value of a Fund’s total assets and provided that such loans are callable at any time by a Fund and are at all times secured by cash or equivalent collateral that is at least equal to the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities. The advantage of such loans is that a Fund continues to receive interest and dividends from the loaned securities, while at the same time earning interest either directly from the borrower or on the collateral which will be invested in short-term obligations.

A loan may be terminated by the borrower on one business day’s notice or by a Fund at any time. If the borrower fails to maintain the requisite amount of collateral, the loan automatically terminates, and the Fund could use the collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any excess of replacement cost over collateral. As with any extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and in some cases loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, these loans of portfolio securities will only be made to firms determined to be creditworthy pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. On termination of the loan, the borrower is required to return the securities to the Fund and any gain or loss in the market price during the loan would be borne by the Fund.

Since voting or consent rights which accompany loaned securities pass to the borrower, the Funds will follow the policy of calling the loan, in whole or in part as may be appropriate, to permit the exercise of such rights if the matters involved would have a material effect on a Fund’s investment in the securities which are the subject of the loan. The Funds will pay reasonable finders, administrative and custodial fees in connection with loans of securities or may share the interest earned on collateral with the borrower.

 

15


Table of Contents

The primary risk in securities lending is default by the borrower as the value of the borrowed security rises, resulting in a deficiency in the collateral posted by the borrower. The Funds seek to minimize this risk by computing the value of the security loaned on a daily basis and requiring additional collateral if necessary.

Money Market Instruments. Each Fund may invest in a variety of money market instruments for pending investments, to meet anticipated redemption requests and/or to retain the flexibility to respond promptly to changes in market, economic or political conditions and/or when the Advisor takes temporary defensive positions, including when the Advisor is unable to locate attractive investment opportunities or when the Advisor considers market, economic or political conditions to be unfavorable for profitable investing. Money Market Instruments include, but are not limited to, the following instruments. Commercial paper represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by banks or bank holding companies, corporations and finance companies. Issues of commercial paper normally have maturities of less than nine months and fixed rates of return. A Fund may purchase commercial paper consisting of issues rated at the time of purchase by one or more appropriate nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”) (e.g., Standard & Poor’s Corporation and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) in one of the two highest rating categories for short-term debt obligations. The Funds may also invest in commercial paper that is not rated but that is determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality to instruments that are so rated by an NRSRO that is neither controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the issuer of, or any issuer, guarantor, or provider of credit support for, the instruments. Certificates of deposit are generally negotiable certificates issued against funds deposited in a commercial bank or a savings and loan association for a definite period of time and earning a specified return. Bankers’ acceptances are negotiable drafts or bills of exchange, normally drawn by an importer or exporter to pay for specific merchandise, which are “accepted” by a bank, meaning, in effect, that the bank unconditionally agrees to pay the face value of the instrument on maturity. Bankers’ acceptances invested in by a Fund will be those guaranteed by domestic and foreign banks having, at the time of investment, capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 (as of the date of their most recently published financial statements). Fixed time deposits are bank obligations payable at a stated maturity date and bearing interest at a fixed rate. Fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the investor, but may be subject to early withdrawal penalties that vary depending upon market conditions and the remaining maturity of the obligation. There are no contractual restrictions on the right to transfer a beneficial interest in a fixed time deposit to a third party, although there is no market for such deposits. Bank notes and bankers’ acceptances rank junior to deposit liabilities of the bank and pari passu with other senior, unsecured obligations of the bank. Bank notes are classified as “other borrowings” on a bank’s balance sheet, while deposit notes and certificates of deposit are classified as deposits. Bank notes are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurer. Deposit notes are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only to the extent of $250,000 per depositor per bank. Certificates of deposit and demand and time deposits will be those of domestic banks and savings and loan associations, if (a) at the time of investment the depository institution has capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 (as of the date of its most recently published financial statements), or (b) the principal amount of the instrument is insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Mortgage-Related Securities. The Funds may, consistent with their investment objective and policies, invest in mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities or issued by nongovernmental entities.

Mortgage-related securities, for purposes of the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, represent pools of mortgage loans assembled for sale to investors by various governmental

 

16


Table of Contents

agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) and government-related organizations such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), as well as by nongovernmental issuers such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers and private mortgage insurance companies. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed by a third party or otherwise similarly secured, the market value of the security, which may fluctuate, is not so secured. If a Fund purchases a mortgage-related security at a premium, that portion may be lost if there is a decline in the market value of the security whether resulting from changes in interest rates or prepayments in the underlying mortgage collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. However, though the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages underlying the securities are prone to prepayment, thereby shortening the average life of the security and shortening the period of time over which income at the higher rate is received. Conversely, when interest rates are rising, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the average life of the security and lengthening the period of time over which income at the lower rate is received. For these and other reasons, a mortgage-related security’s average maturity may be shortened or lengthened as a result of interest rate fluctuations and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security’s return to a Fund. In addition, regular payments received in respect of mortgage-related securities include both interest and principal. No assurance can be given as to the return a Fund will receive when these amounts are reinvested.

The Funds may also invest in mortgage-related securities which are collateralized mortgage obligations structured on pools of mortgage pass-through certificates or mortgage loans. Mortgage-related securities will be purchased only if rated in the three highest bond rating categories assigned by one or more appropriate NRSROs, or, if unrated, which the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, as applicable, deems to be of comparable quality.

There are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. Mortgage-related securities issued by the GNMA include GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as “Ginnie Maes”) which are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by GNMA and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. GNMA is a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA certificates also are supported by the authority of GNMA to borrow funds from the U.S. Treasury to make payments under its guarantee. Mortgage-related securities issued by the FNMA include FNMA Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as “Fannie Maes”) which are solely the obligations of the FNMA and are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States. FNMA is a government-sponsored organization owned entirely by private stockholders. Fannie Maes are guaranteed as to timely payment of the principal and interest by FNMA. Mortgage-related securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) include FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates (also known as “Freddie Macs” or “PCs”). FHLMC is a corporate instrumentality of the United States, created pursuant to an Act of Congress, which is owned entirely by Federal Home Loan Banks. Freddie Macs are not guaranteed by the United States or by any Federal Home Loan Banks and do not constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or of any Federal Home Loan Bank. Freddie Macs entitle the holder to timely payment of interest, which is guaranteed by FHLMC. FHLMC guarantees either ultimate collection or timely payment of all principal payments on the underlying mortgage loans. When FHLMC does not guarantee timely payment of principal, FHLMC may remit the amount due on account of its guarantee of ultimate payment of principal at any time after default on an underlying mortgage, but in no event later than one year after it becomes payable. In September 2008, FNMA and FHLMC were placed into conservatorship overseen by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). As conservator, FHFA

will succeed to the rights, titles, powers and privileges of the company and any stockholder, officer or director of such company with respect to the company and its assets and title to all books, records and assets of the company held by any other custodian or third party. The conservator is then charged with operating the company.

Municipal Obligations. The Funds may invest in municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the securities’ counsel, is exempt from federal income tax and from the federal alternative minimum tax. The Advisor or a Fund do not guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with such counsel’s opinion. If certain types of investments the Fund buys as tax-exempt are later ruled to be taxable, a portion of the Fund’s income could be taxable. To the extent that the Fund invests in municipal securities from a given state or geographic region, its share price and performance could be affected by local, state and regional factors, including erosion of the tax base and changes in the economic climate. National governmental actions, such as the elimination of tax-exempt status, also could affect performance. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in municipal securities financing similar projects. A change that affects one project, such as proposed legislation on the financing of the project, a shortage of the materials needed for the project, or a declining need for the project, may affect similar projects and the overall municipal securities market.

Non-investment Grade Securities. The Funds (except the Large Cap Value Fund) may invest up to 10% of their total assets in non-investment grade securities subject to the following. Such securities include high yield (junk) bonds, convertible bonds, preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks.

Non-investment grade bonds are debt securities rated Ba or lower by Moody’s or BB or lower by S&P. They generally offer greater returns in the form of higher average yields than investment grade debt securities (rated Baa or higher by Moody’s or BBB or higher by S&P). Non-investment grade debt securities involve greater risks than investment grade debt securities including greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates, the economy, the issuer’s solvency and liquidity in the secondary trading market. See Appendix A for a description of corporate bond ratings.

Yields on non-investment grade debt securities will fluctuate over time. The prices of non-investment grade debt securities have been found to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than investment grade debt securities, but more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual issuer developments. During an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to pay principal and interest obligations, meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing. If the issuer of a debt security held by a Fund defaulted, the Fund might incur additional expenses seeking to recover the issuer’s defaulted obligation. In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of non-investment grade debt securities and a Fund’s net asset value. Furthermore, the market prices of non-investment grade debt securities structured as zero coupon or payment-in-kind securities are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes and tend to be more volatile than securities that pay interest periodically and in cash.

Non-investment grade debt securities present risks based on payment expectations. For example, they may contain redemption or call provisions. If an issuer exercises these provisions in a declining interest rate market, a Fund would have to replace the security with a lower-yielding security, resulting in a decreased return for investors. A high-yielding security’s value will decrease in a rising interest rate market and will result in a corresponding decrease in the value of a Fund’s assets. Unexpected net redemptions may force a Fund to sell securities including, but not limited to, non-investment grade debt securities, without regard to their investment merits, thereby decreasing the asset base upon which a Fund’s expenses can be spread and possibly reducing the rate of return.

Table of Contents

To the extent that there is no established secondary market, there may be thin trading of non-investment grade securities, including high yield bonds, convertible bonds, preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks held by a Fund. This may adversely affect the ability of the Joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor or the Funds’ Board of Trustees to accurately value a Fund’s non-investment grade securities and a Fund’s assets and may also adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of the securities. In the absence of an established secondary market, valuing securities becomes more difficult and judgment plays a greater role in valuation because there is less reliable, objective data available. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of non-investment grade securities, especially in a thinly traded market. Illiquid or restricted non-investment grade securities purchased by a Fund may involve special registration responsibilities, liabilities and costs, and liquidity and valuation difficulties.

Certain risks are associated with applying ratings as a method for evaluating non-investment grade securities. For example, credit ratings for bonds evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments, not the market value risk of such securities. Credit rating agencies may fail to timely change credit ratings to reflect subsequent events. The Advisor continuously monitors the issuers of non-investment grade debt securities held by a Fund to determine if the issuers will have sufficient cash flow and profits to meet required principal and interest payments and to assure the securities’ liquidity. A Fund may be more dependent upon the Advisor’s own analysis of non-investment grade securities than is the case for investment grade securities. Also, a Fund may retain a portfolio security whose rating has been changed if the security otherwise meets a Fund’s investment criteria.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security will fail to make payments on the security when due. Securities rated non-investment grade are particularly subject to credit risk. These securities are predominantly speculative and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” To the extent a Fund purchases or holds convertible or other non-investment grade securities, a Fund may be exposed to greater risk that the issuer will not repay principal, or pay interest or dividends on such securities in a timely manner.

Ratings published by rating agencies seek to measure credit risk (Rating agencies’ descriptions of non-investment grade securities are contained in Appendix A of this SAI). The lower a bond issue is rated by an agency, the more credit risk it is considered to represent. Lower-rated bonds generally pay higher yields to compensate investors for the greater risk.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed-rate debt security will decline due to changes in market interest rates. Even though some interest-bearing securities are investments which offer a stable stream of income at relatively high current yield, the prices of such securities are affected by changes in interest rates and are therefore subject to market price fluctuations. The value of fixed income securities varies inversely with changes in market interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of a Fund’s fixed income securities, and therefore its net asset value per share, generally will decline. In general, the value of fixed-rate debt securities with longer maturities is more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than the value of such securities with shorter maturities. Thus, if a Fund is invested in fixed income securities with longer weighted average maturities, the net asset value of a Fund should be expected to have greater volatility in periods of changing market interest rates.

Preferred Stock. The Funds may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock, unlike common stock, may offer a stated dividend rate payable from the issuer’s earnings. Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative, non-cumulative, participating or auction rate. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred stock

may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as call/redemption provisions prior to maturity, a negative feature when interest rates decline. For a description of preferred stock ratings, see Appendix A.

Real Estate Securities. The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs pool investors’ funds for investment primarily in income producing real estate or real estate loans or interests. A REIT is not taxed on income distributed to shareholders if it complies with several requirements relating to its organization, ownership, assets, and income and a requirement that it distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its taxable income (other than net capital gains) for each taxable year. While there are many types of REITs, all REITs can generally be classified as Equity REITs, Mortgage REITs and Hybrid REITs. Equity REITs, which invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs, which invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages, derive their income primarily from interest payments. Hybrid REITs combine the characteristics of both Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs. The Funds will not invest in real estate directly, but only in securities issued by real estate companies. The risks of investing in REITs include declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, dependency on management skill, heavy cash flow dependency, possible lack of availability of mortgage funds, overbuilding, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to costs resulting from the clean-up of environmental problems, liability to third parties for damages resulting from environmental problems, casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of properties to tenants and changes in interest rates.

In addition to these risks, Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while Mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Further, REITs are dependent upon management skills and generally may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment available to REITs under the Code or to maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting investments.

Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may agree to purchase repurchase agreement securities from financial institutions (including clearing firms registered with the SEC that provide comparison, netting and settlement services to their members with respect to repurchase agreement transactions), and the corporate parents or affiliates of such financial institutions or clearing firms, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price (“repurchase agreements”). Although the underlying securities’ collateral related to a repurchase agreement may bear maturities exceeding one year, the term and settlement for the repurchase agreement security will never be more than one year and normally will be within a shorter period of time (often one business day). Underlying securities’ collateral related to repurchase agreements is held either by the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian (if any). The seller, under a repurchase agreement, will be required to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement in an amount exceeding the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements may be considered loans to the seller, collateralized by the underlying securities. The risk to a Fund includes the ability of the seller to pay the agreed upon sum on the repurchase date; in the event of default, the repurchase agreement provides that a Fund is entitled to sell the underlying securities’ collateral. If the value of the collateral declines after the agreement is entered into, however, and if the seller defaults under a repurchase agreement when the value of the underlying collateral is less than the repurchase price, a Fund could incur a loss of both principal and interest. The

 

20


Table of Contents

Funds’ custodian monitors the value of the collateral at the time the action is entered into and at all times during the term of the repurchase agreement. This is done in an effort to determine whether the value of the collateral always equals or exceeds the agreed upon repurchase price to be paid to the Fund. If the seller were to be subject to a federal bankruptcy proceeding, the ability of a Fund to liquidate the collateral could be delayed or impaired because of certain provisions of the bankruptcy laws.

In addition, the Funds may invest in repurchase agreements for pending investments, to meet anticipated redemption requests, to retain the flexibility to respond promptly to changes in market, economic or political conditions and/or when the Advisor takes temporary defensive positions, including when the Advisor is unable to locate attractive investment opportunities or when the Advisor considers market, economic or political conditions to be unfavorable for profitable investing.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may borrow funds by entering into reverse repurchase agreements in accordance with that Fund’s investment restrictions. Pursuant to such agreements, each Fund would sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, and agree to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. A Fund intends to enter into reverse repurchase agreements only to avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet redemptions. At the time a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will place in a segregated custodial account assets such as U.S. Government securities or other liquid securities consistent with the Fund’s investment restrictions having a value equal to the repurchase price (including accrued interest), and will subsequently continually monitor the account to ensure that such equivalent value is maintained at all times. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a Fund may decline below the price at which a Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by a Fund under the 1940 Act.

Securities of Other Investment Companies. The Funds may purchase the securities of other investment companies, including foreign and domestic registered and unregistered open-end funds, closed-end funds, unit investment trusts and ETFs if the purchase is in compliance with the 1940 Act, rules thereunder or any exemptive relief in which a Fund may rely. As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company’s expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses would be in addition to the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations. If a Fund invests in securities of other investment companies, the return on any such investment will be reduced by the operating expenses, including investment advisory and administrative fees, of such investment companies. (Such Fund indirectly absorbs its pro rata share of the other investment companies’ expenses.) However, the Advisor believes that at times the return and liquidity features of these securities may be more beneficial than other types of securities.

Except as described in the following paragraph, the Funds currently intend to limit investments in securities issued by other investment companies so that, as determined immediately after a purchase of such securities is made: (i) not more than 5% of the value of a Fund’s total assets will be invested in the securities of any one investment company; (ii) not more than 10% of the value of its total assets will be invested in the aggregate in securities of investment companies as a group; and (iii) not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by a Fund. These limitations do not apply to investments in investment companies through a master-feeder type arrangement. In addition, to the extent allowed by law or regulation, a Fund may invest its assets in securities of investment companies that are money market funds, including those advised by the Advisor or otherwise affiliated with the Advisor, in excess of the limits discussed above.

 

21


Table of Contents

With respect to a Fund’s investments in ETFs, pursuant to certain specific exemptive orders issued by the SEC to several ETFs, and procedures approved by the Board, an Equity Fund may invest in certain ETFs in excess of the limits described above, provided that the Fund has described ETF investments in its Prospectus and otherwise complies with the conditions of the applicable SEC exemptive orders, each as may be amended, and any other applicable investment limitations.

Short Sales. The Funds may make short sales of securities. Short sales are transactions in which a Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. The Fund must borrow the security to deliver to the buyer upon the short sale. The Fund is then obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a later date. A short sale provides a possible hedge against the market risk of the value of other investments and protects a Fund in a declining market.

Short sales are subject to the risk that a Fund will incur a loss if the price of a security sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date the Fund closes the short sale. Any gain on a short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of the premium, dividends, interest or expenses the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. An increase in the value of a security sold short by a Fund over the price at which it was sold short will result in a loss to the Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close out the position at any particular time or at an acceptable price. Except in the case of short sales “against the box,” a Fund’s market risk is unlimited in that the potential for increase in the market price of the security sold short is unlimited. Short sales “against the box” mean that the Fund owns securities identical to those sold short.

When a short position is closed out, it may result in a short-term capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In a generally rising market, if a Fund maintains short positions in securities rising with the market, the net asset value of the Fund would increase to a lesser extent than if it had not engaged in short sales.

The Advisor may consider short selling when the Advisor finds companies it believes are substantially overpriced. Short selling may also be considered in arbitrage and hedge situations, and short selling might also be used under certain circumstances to defer taxes.

An eligible Fund will not engage in short sales of securities when these transactions would cause the market value of all of its securities sold short to exceed 15% of its net assets subject to the following. The value of the securities of any one issuer that may be shorted by a Fund is limited to the lesser of 5% of the value of the Fund’s net assets or 5% of the securities of any class of the issuer. All short sales must be fully collateralized. The Funds maintain the collateral in a segregated account with their custodian. The collateral consists of cash, U.S. government securities or any other liquid securities equal to the market value of the securities at the time of the short sale. The Funds will thereafter maintain, on a daily basis, the collateral to ensure that it is equal to the current market value of the securities sold short. Short sales against the box are not subject to the 15% limitation. A capital gain or loss is recognized immediately upon the sale of a short against the box. A Fund may only engage in short sale transactions in securities listed on one or more U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or on EASDAQ or Nasdaq.

Stripped Obligations. The Funds may purchase Treasury receipts and other “stripped” securities that evidence ownership in either the future interest payments or the future principal payments on U.S. Government obligations. These participations, which may be issued by the U.S. Government (or a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality) or by private issuers such as banks and other institutions, are issued at a discount from their “face value,” and may include stripped mortgage-backed securities

 

22


Table of Contents

(“SMBS”). Stripped securities, particularly SMBS, may exhibit greater price volatility than ordinary debt securities because of the manner in which their principal and interest are returned to investors.

SMBS are usually structured with two or more classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool of mortgage-backed obligations. A common type of SMBS will have one class receiving all of the interest, while the other class receives all of the principal. However, in some cases, one class will receive some of the interest and most of the principal while the other class will receive most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying obligations experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal a Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment. The market value of the class consisting entirely of principal payments can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. The yields on a class of SMBS that receives all or most of the interest are generally higher than prevailing market yields on other mortgage-backed obligations because their cash flow patterns are also volatile and there is a greater risk that the initial investment will not be fully recouped.

SMBS issued by the U.S. Government (or a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality) may be considered liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees if they can be disposed of promptly in the ordinary course of business at a value reasonably close to that used in the calculation of a Fund’s per share net asset value.

The Treasury Department has facilitated transfers of ownership of zero coupon securities by accounting separately for the beneficial ownership of particular interest coupon and principal payments on Treasury securities through the Federal Reserve book-entry record-keeping system. A Fund may purchase securities registered in the STRIPS program. Under the STRIPS program, a Fund will be able to have beneficial ownership of zero coupon securities recorded directly in the book-entry record-keeping system in lieu of having to hold certificates or other evidences of ownership of the underlying U.S. Treasury securities.

In addition, the Funds may acquire U.S. Government obligations and their unmatured interest coupons that have been separated (“stripped”) by their holder, typically a custodian bank or investment brokerage firm. Having separated the interest coupons from the underlying principal of the U.S. Government obligations, the holder will resell the stripped securities in custodial receipt programs with a number of different names, including “Treasury Income Growth Receipts” (“TIGRs”) and “Certificate of Accrual on Treasury Securities” (“CATS”). The stripped coupons are sold separately from the underlying principal, which is usually sold at a deep discount because the buyer receives only the right to receive a future fixed payment on the security and does not receive any rights to periodic interest (cash) payments. The underlying U.S. Treasury bonds and notes themselves are held in book-entry form at the Federal Reserve Bank or, in the case of bearer securities (i.e., unregistered securities which are ostensibly owned by the bearer or holder), in trust on behalf of the owners. Counsel to the underwriters of these certificates or other evidences of ownership of U.S. Treasury securities have stated that, in their opinion, purchasers of the stripped securities most likely will be deemed the beneficial holders of the underlying U.S. Government obligations for Federal tax purposes. The Advisor is unaware of any binding legislative, judicial or administrative authority on this issue.

Swap Agreements. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and currency swaps. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate multiplied by a “notional principal amount,” in return for payments equal to fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specified period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. The credit default swap allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on specific names or a basket of names. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a

 

23


Table of Contents

counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of credit protection receives a premium and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a Fund’s investment exposure from one type of investment to another. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a Fund’s investments and its share price and yield.

A Fund may enter into swaps with members of the Federal Reserve System, members of the New York Stock Exchange or other entities determined by the Advisor to be creditworthy.

United States Government Securities. To the extent consistent with their investment objectives, the Funds may invest in a variety of U.S. Treasury obligations consisting of bills, notes and bonds, which principally differ only in their interest rates, maturities and time of issuance. The Funds may also invest in other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Obligations of certain agencies and instrumentalities, such as GNMA, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury; others, such as those of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; others, such as those of FNMA, are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency’s obligations; still others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association (“SLMA”), are supported only by the credit of the instrumentalities. Obligations of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (also known as the World Bank) are supported by subscribed, but unpaid, commitments of its member countries. There is no assurance that these commitments will be undertaken or complied with in the future.

In addition, in September 2008 FNMA and FHLMC were placed into conservatorship overseen by the FHFA. As conservator, FHFA will succeed to the rights, titles, powers and privileges of the company and any stockholder, officer or director of such company with respect to the company and its assets and title to all books, records and assets of the company held by any other custodian or third party. The conservator is then charged with operating the company.

Securities guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities are deemed to include: (a) securities for which the payment of principal and interest is backed by an irrevocable letter of credit issued by the U.S. government or an agency or instrumentality thereof; and (b) participations in loans made to foreign governments or their agencies that are so guaranteed. The secondary market for certain of these participations is limited. Such participations will therefore be regarded as illiquid. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so by law.

U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS). The Funds may invest in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities. Inflation-protection securities are a type of marketable book-entry security issued by the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) with a nominal return linked to the inflation rate in prices. The index used to measure inflation is the non-seasonally adjusted U.S. Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”).

The value of the principal is adjusted for inflation, and every six months the security pays interest, which is an amount equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted value of the principal. The final payment of principal of the security will not be less than the original par amount of the security at issuance.

 

24


Table of Contents

The principal of the inflation-protection security is indexed to the non-seasonally adjusted CPI-U. To calculate the inflation-adjusted principal value for a particular valuation date, the value of the principal at issuance is multiplied by the index ratio applicable to that valuation date. The index ratio for any date is the ratio of the reference Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) applicable to such date to the reference CPI applicable to the original issue date. Semi-annual coupon interest is determined by multiplying the inflation-adjusted principal amount by one-half of the stated rate of interest on each interest payment date.

Inflation-adjusted principal or the original par amount, whichever is larger, is paid on the maturity date as specified in the applicable offering announcement. If at maturity the inflation-adjusted principal is less than the original principal value of the security, an additional amount is paid at maturity so that the additional amount plus the inflation-adjusted principal equals the original principal amount. Some inflation-protection securities may be stripped into principal and interest components. In the case of a stripped security, the holder of the stripped principal component receives this additional amount. The final interest payment, however, is based on the final inflation-adjusted principal value, not the original par amount.

The reference CPI for the first day of any calendar month is the CPI-U for the third preceding calendar month. (For example, the reference CPI for December 1 is the CPI-U reported for September of the same year, which is released in October.) The reference CPI for any other day of the month is calculated by a linear interpolation between the reference CPI applicable to the first day of the month and the reference CPI applicable to the first day of the following month.

Any revisions the Bureau of Labor Statistics (or successor agency) makes to any CPI-U number that has been previously released will not be used in calculations of the value of outstanding inflation-protection securities. In the case that the CPI-U for a particular month is not reported by the last day of the following month, the Treasury will announce an index number based on the last year-over-year CPI-U inflation rate available. Any calculations of the Treasury’s payment obligations on the inflation-protection security that need that month’s CPI-U number will be based on the index number that the Treasury has announced. If the CPI-U is rebased to a different year, the Treasury will continue to use the CPI-U series based on the base reference period in effect when the security was first issued as long as that series continues to be published. If the CPI-U is discontinued during the period the inflation-protection security is outstanding, the Treasury will, in consultation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (or successor agency), determine an appropriate substitute index and methodology for linking the discontinued series with the new price index series. Determinations of the Secretary of the Treasury in this regard are final.

Inflation-protection securities are held and transferred in either of two book-entry systems: the commercial book-entry system (TRADES) and TREASURY DIRECT. The securities are maintained and transferred at their original par amount, i.e., not their inflation-adjusted value. The Federal Reserve program was established by the Treasury Department and is known as “STRIPS” or “Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities.” STRIPS components are maintained and transferred in TRADES at their value based on their original par amount of the fully constituted security.

Variable Amount Master Demand Notes. The Funds may invest in variable amount master demand notes. Variable amount master demand notes are unsecured demand notes that permit the indebtedness thereunder to vary and provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate according to the terms of the instrument. Because master demand notes are direct lending arrangements between a Fund and the issuer, they are not normally traded. Although there is no secondary market in the notes, a Fund may demand payment of principal and accrued interest at any time within 30 days. While such notes are not typically rated by credit rating agencies, issuers of variable amount master demand notes (which are

 

25


Table of Contents

normally manufacturing, retail, financial and other business concerns), must satisfy, for purchase by a Fund, the same criteria as set forth above for commercial paper for a Fund. The Advisor will consider the earning power, cash flow, and other liquidity ratios of the issuers of such notes and will continuously monitor their financial status and ability to meet payment on demand. In determining average weighted portfolio maturity, a variable amount master demand note will be deemed to have a maturity equal to the longer of the period of time remaining until the next interest rate adjustment or the period of time remaining until the principal amount can be recovered from the issuer through demand.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities. The Funds may acquire variable and floating rate securities, subject to each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions. A variable rate security is one whose terms provide for the adjustment of its interest rate on set dates and which, upon such adjustment, can reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value. A floating rate security is one whose terms provide for the adjustment of its interest rate whenever a specified interest rate changes and which, at any time, can reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value. Such securities are frequently not rated by credit rating agencies; however, unrated variable and floating rate securities purchased by a Fund will be determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase to rated instruments eligible for purchase under a Fund’s investment policies. In making such determinations, the Advisor will consider the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios of the issuers of such notes (such issuers include financial, merchandising, bank holding and other companies) and will continuously monitor their financial condition. Although there may be no active secondary market with respect to a particular variable or floating rate security purchased by a Fund, the Fund may resell the security at any time to a third party. The absence of an active secondary market, however, could make it difficult for a Fund to dispose of a variable or floating rate security in the event the issuer of the security defaulted on its payment obligations and a Fund could, as a result or for other reasons, suffer a loss to the extent of the default. To the extent that there exists no readily available market for such security and a Fund is not entitled to receive the principal amount of a note within seven days, such a security will be treated as an illiquid security for purposes of calculation of such Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities, as set forth in a Fund’s investment restrictions. Variable or floating rate securities may be secured by bank letters of credit.

Warrants. The Funds may invest in warrants to participate in an anticipated increase in the market value of the security. A warrant entitles the holder to buy a security at a set price during a set period of time. If such market value increases, the warrant may be exercised and sold at a gain. A loss will be incurred if the market value decreases or if the term of the warrant expires before it is exercised. Warrants convey no rights to dividends or voting.

When-Issued Securities. The Funds may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price and yield). When a Fund agrees to purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, a Fund’s custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio securities equal to the amount of the commitment in a separate account. Normally, a Fund’s custodian will set aside portfolio securities to satisfy the purchase commitment, and in such a case, a Fund may be required subsequently to place additional assets in the separate account in order to assure that the value of the account remains equal to the amount of a Fund’s commitment. It may be expected that a Fund’s net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree when it sets aside portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments than when it sets aside cash. In addition, because a Fund will set aside cash or liquid portfolio securities to satisfy its purchase commitments in the manner described above, such Fund’s liquidity and the ability of the Advisor to manage it might be affected in the event its commitments to purchase “when-issued” securities ever exceeded 25% of the value of its total assets. Under normal market conditions, however, a Fund’s commitment to purchase “when-issued” or “delayed-delivery” securities will not exceed 25% of the value of its total assets.

 

26


Table of Contents

When a Fund engages in “when-issued” transactions, it relies on the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may result in a Fund’s incurring a loss or missing the opportunity to obtain a price considered to be advantageous. A Fund will engage in “when-issued” delivery transactions only for the purpose of acquiring portfolio securities consistent with such Fund’s investment objectives and policies and not for investment leverage.

Calculation of Portfolio Turnover Rate. The portfolio turnover rate for the Funds is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio investments for the reporting period by the monthly average value of the portfolio investments owned during the reporting period. The calculation excludes all securities, including options, whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less. Portfolio turnover may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year, and may be affected by cash requirements for redemption of shares. The Funds are not restricted by policy with regard to portfolio turnover and will make changes in investment portfolios from time to time as business and economic conditions as well as market prices may dictate. The current portfolio turnover rates for the Funds are set forth in the current Prospectus.

FUND RESTRICTIONS AND POLICIES

The Trust has adopted the following restrictions and policies relating to the investment of assets of the Funds and their activities. These are fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the applicable Fund (which for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares). A change in a fundamental policy affecting only one Fund may be effected with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.

Table of Contents

If any percentage restriction or requirement described above is satisfied at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from a change in asset value will not constitute a violation of such restriction or requirement. However, should a change in net asset value or other external events cause a Fund’s investments in illiquid securities, repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days and other instruments in such Fund which are not readily marketable to exceed the limit set forth in such Fund’s Prospectus or herein for its investment in illiquid securities, the Fund will act to cause the aggregate amount of such securities to come within such limit as soon as reasonably practicable.

Any investment restriction or limitation, fundamental or otherwise, appearing in the Prospectus or SAI, which involves a maximum percentage of securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over the percentage occurs immediately after an acquisition of securities or utilization of assets, and such excess results therefrom.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings. The Board of Trustees has adopted the Policies on Releasing Portfolio Securities for the Funds (the “Disclosure Policies”) with respect to disclosure of information about the portfolio holdings of the Funds and the Advisor’s separately managed clients. The Disclosure Policies are intended to ensure compliance by the Advisor and the Funds with the applicable restrictions of the federal securities laws, including the 1940 Act. It is the policy of the Advisor and the Funds to prevent the selective disclosure of non-public information concerning the Funds. The Board and the Advisor considered each of the circumstances under which the Funds’ portfolio holdings may be disclosed to different categories of persons under the Disclosure Policies. The Advisor and the Board also considered actual and potential material conflicts that could arise in such circumstances between the interests of the Funds’ shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the Advisor and its affiliates, on the other hand. After giving due consideration to such matters and after the exercise of their fiduciary duties, the Advisor and the Board determined that the Funds have a legitimate business purpose for disclosing portfolio holdings to the persons described in each of the circumstances set forth in the Disclosure Policies. The Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio holdings by (i) reviewing, at least quarterly, the potential and actual material conflicts that could arise between the Funds’ shareholders and those of the Advisor for any waivers and exceptions made of these Disclosure Policies during the preceding quarter and determine if they were made in the best interests of Fund shareholders; (ii) reviewing, at least quarterly, any violation(s) of these Disclosure Policies during the preceding quarter; and (iii) reviewing these procedures from time to time for their continued appropriateness and amend or ratify these Disclosure Policies as it deems necessary. In addition, the Board of Trustees oversees the implementation and enforcement of the Disclosure Policies by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds and considers reports and recommendations by the Chief Compliance Officer concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act) that may arise in connection with the Disclosure Policies. The Advisor and the Board reserve the right to amend the Disclosure Policies at any time and from time to time without prior notice in their sole discretion.

No compensation or other consideration is received by the Funds, the Advisor or any affiliated party in regard to this disclosure. “Consideration” includes any agreement to maintain assets in the Funds or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Advisor or by any affiliated person of the Advisor.

General Policy. No information concerning the portfolio holdings of the Funds may be disclosed to any unaffiliated third party except as provided below:

 

  ¡  

Disclosure of Mutual Fund Holdings on a Lag.  The Fund may publicly disclose all calendar quarter-end mutual fund holdings for the most recent calendar quarter, including a list of top ten holdings, after a 30-day delay. No date other than calendar quarter end may be used for the most recent calendar quarter. Month-end holdings may be made available for time periods prior to the most recent calendar quarter.

 

30


Table of Contents
 

Disclosure to consultant databases, ratings agencies (such as Morningstar and Lipper), financial advisors and shareholder servicing representatives, will be subject to the delays set forth in the foregoing sentence. Shareholders may obtain a complete list of holdings by contacting a Wasatch Funds’ shareholder services representative by calling 800.551.1700 or e-mailing shareholderservice@wasatchfunds.com. Holdings are provided to Morningstar and Lipper quarterly after a 30 day delay.

 

  ¡  

Disclosure to Service Providers. Nothing contained in the Disclosure Policies is intended to prevent disclosure of portfolio holding information to the Advisor’s and Funds’ service providers who generally need access to such information in the performance of their contractual duties and responsibilities, such as custodians, fund accountants, administrators, independent registered public accounting firm, attorneys, writers (i.e., individuals who review and recommend edits to the Advisor to materials provided to Fund shareholders or the Advisor’s separately managed clients), data research providers (e.g. FactSet), proxy voting services (e.g.RiskMetrics), trading software, and each of their respective affiliates, provided that they are subject to duties of confidentiality imposed by law and/or contract (the “Service Providers”). The Board recognized the legitimate business purposes for the Service Providers to have access to information regarding the Funds’ portfolio holdings in connection with their official duties and responsibilities. As of         , 2012, the Funds’ service providers were the Advisor, State Street Bank and Trust Company (custodian, fund accountant and administrator), ALPS Distributors, Inc. (distributor), LLC, UMB Funds Services, Inc. (transfer agent), PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (independent registered public accounting firm), Chapman and Cutler LLP (independent counsel) and Rogers Casey (consultant). The frequency of disclosure to and between the Service Providers varies and may be as frequent as daily, with no lag.

 

  ¡  

Disclosure of Aggregate Portfolio Characteristics. Aggregate portfolio characteristics may be made available without a delay. Nonexclusive examples of aggregate portfolio characteristics about a Fund include (1) the allocation of the Fund’s portfolio holdings and other investment positions among various asset classes, sectors, industries, and countries, (2) the characteristics of the stock and bond components of the Fund’s portfolio holdings and other investment positions, (3) the attribution of Fund returns by asset class, sector, industry, and country, and (4) the volatility characteristics of the Fund.

 

  ¡  

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings to Certain Analytic Companies. Certain analytic companies who calculate aggregate portfolio characteristics for consultants may receive quarterly holdings information without a delay; provided that (1) the recipient does not distribute the specific holdings information to third parties, other departments or persons before the expiration of the applicable delay period and public disclosure of such information and (2) the recipient signs a written non-disclosure (and non-use) agreement. As of         , 2012, the Funds’ complete portfolio holdings are disclosed to the following analytic companies as part of ongoing arrangements that serve legitimate business purposes: State Street Analytics and FactSet.

 

  ¡  

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings to Broker-Dealers to Facilitate Trading. The Advisor’s trading or research departments may periodically distribute without a delay lists of applicable investments held by the Funds for the purpose of facilitating efficient trading of such securities and receipt of relevant research. Such lists shall not identify

 

31


Table of Contents
 

individual clients or individual client position sizes or show aggregate client position sizes. Since this disclosure does not involve the disclosure of complete portfolio holdings identified by client, this disclosure is not considered a waiver of the Disclosure Policies. The frequency of disclosure to broker-dealers for trading and research purposes is determined by the Advisor’s trading and research departments in connection with fulfilling their trading and research duties to the Funds. Such disclosure varies and may be as frequent as daily, with no delay.

 

  ¡  

Disclosure of Individual Portfolio Holdings. Certain research analysts and other senior officers or spokespersons of the Advisor or Funds may disclose or confirm the ownership of any individual portfolio holding position in materials prepared for Fund shareholders (such as “Manager’s Comments”), media interviews, due diligence meetings with management, shareholders, consultants and other interested parties; provided that (1) aggregate client position size is not disclosed, (2) the discloser has made a good faith judgment that such disclosure does not effectively result in the disclosure of the complete portfolio holdings of any Fund (which can be disclosed only in accordance with the Disclosure Policies), and (3) such information does not constitute material non-public information.

Disclosure as Required by Law. A Fund’s portfolio holdings (whether partial portfolio holdings or complete portfolio holdings) and other investment positions comprising a Fund shall be disclosed to any person as required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Examples of such required disclosure include, but are not limited to, disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings (1) in a filing or submission with the SEC or another regulatory body, (2) in connection with seeking recovery on defaulted bonds in a federal bankruptcy case, (3) in connection with a lawsuit, or (4) as required by court order. Disclosure of portfolio holdings or other investment positions by the Advisor or a Fund as required by applicable laws, rules and regulations must be authorized by a Fund officer or an officer of the Advisor.

Waivers or Exceptions of Disclosure Policies. The Disclosure Policies may not be waived, or exceptions made, without the consent of the Advisor’s Compliance Department (“Compliance Department”) and the execution of a written non-disclosure (and non-use) agreement in a form and substance acceptable to the Compliance Department. All waivers and exceptions will be disclosed to the Board of Trustees and/or Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The frequency with which complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed to a recipient pursuant to a waiver (the “Recipient”), and the length of the delay, if any, between the date of the information and the date on which the information is disclosed to the Recipient, is determined based on the facts and circumstances, including, without limitation, the nature of the portfolio holdings information to be disclosed, the risk of harm to the Funds and their shareholders and the Advisor’s separate account clients, and the legitimate business purposes served by such disclosure. The frequency of disclosure to a Recipient varies and may be as frequent as daily, with no delay.

Leadership Structure and the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees oversees the operations and management of the Funds, including the duties performed for the Funds by the Investment Advisor and other service providers. The Board is currently composed of five Trustees, including four Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act. Like all mutual funds, the day-to-day responsibility for the management and operation of the Funds is the responsibility of

 

34


Table of Contents

various service providers to the Fund, such as the Funds’ Advisor, distributor, administrator, custodian, and transfer agent, each of which is discussed in greater detail in this SAI. The Board approves all significant agreements between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and its service providers, including the agreements with the Advisor, distributor, administrator, custodian and transfer agent. The Board has appointed various officers of the Trust who also report to the Board on the Funds’ day-to-day operations. In conducting this oversight responsibility, the Board receives regular reports from these officers and service providers regarding the Trust’s operations. The Board has appointed the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), who administers the Trust’s compliance program and regularly reports to the Board as to compliance matters. These reports generally are provided as part of the formal “Board Meetings” which are typically held quarterly, in person, and involve the Board’s review of recent Fund operations. In addition to these regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may also hold special in-person and/or telephone meetings and informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. In addition, in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board meetings and committee meetings, the Independent Trustees meet in executive session periodically (but at least annually), and separately, with Trust officers, with personnel of the service providers, and with the Trust’s CCO. The Independent Trustees also meet in executive session among themselves and periodically with independent legal counsel. The Trustees also meet informally, generally quarterly, with management of the Advisor to discuss various topics. In all cases, however, the role of the Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trust and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust’s or Funds’ investments, operations or activities.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to effectively perform its oversight function. In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board has a Chairman that is an independent Trustee. The Board recognizes that the chairman can perform an important role in setting the Board agenda, establishing the boardroom culture, serving as a point person on behalf of the Board with fund management, facilitating communications among Trustees and with service providers, and reinforcing the Board’s focus on the long-term interests of shareholders. The Board also recognizes that a chairman may be able to better perform these functions without any conflicts of interests arising from a position with fund management. Currently, Mr. James U. Jensen serves as the independent Chairman of the Board. Under the Trust’s By-laws, the Chairman (or, if the Chairman is unable to attend any such meeting, the Chairman’s designee) shall preside at all meetings of the Trustees and the shareholders.

Although the Board has direct responsibility over various matters (such as advisory contracts, underwriting contracts and Fund performance), the Board also exercises certain of its oversight responsibilities through its committees, the Audit Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), standing committees that it has established which report back to the Board. The Audit Committee is comprised entirely of the Independent Trustees and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Accordingly, Messrs. Jensen, Swinyard, and Croft and Ms. Allison are each members of the Audit Committee with Mr. Swinyard serving as Chair. Under the charter, the primary purposes of the Audit Committee include to oversee the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls and the internal controls of the Funds’ accounting, administration, transfer agency and custody service providers; to oversee the quality and integrity of the Funds’ financial statements and independent audit thereof; to assist the Board’s oversight of the Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits; to act as a liaison between the Funds’ independent public accountants and the full Board of Trustees; to assist the Board oversight of the Funds’ internal audit function (if any); and to

 

35


Table of Contents

approve prior to appointment, the engagement of the Funds’ independent public accountants and, in connection therewith, to review and evaluate the qualifications, independence and performance of the Funds’ independent public accountants. To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the external auditors for the Funds. The Audit Committee met      times during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

In addition to the Audit Committee, the Board has also established the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is comprised entirely of the Independent Trustees and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Accordingly, Messrs. Jensen, Swinyard, and Croft and Ms. Allison are each members of the Nominating Committee with Mr. Croft serving as Chair. Under the charter, the primary responsibilities of the Nominating Committee include: determining matters of corporate governance (including the evaluation of Board and committee performance, committee processes, and trustee compensation); evaluating the composition of the Board and any constituent committees thereof and the process by which Board and committee chairs are selected; identification, consideration and nomination of candidates to become Board members; and other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated to the committee by the Board. The Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. Recommendations should be submitted to the Nominating Committee in care of the Secretary of the Wasatch Funds,             . During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, the Nominations Committee did not meet. The Nominating Committee is newly created and has not met during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

The Board believes that the committee structure is an effective means to permit Trustees to focus on particular operations or issues affecting the Funds. In addition to the standing committees, the Board may also from time to time create ad hoc committees or additional standing committees to focus on particular issues as the need arises.

The Board has determined that its leadership structure, including its committee structure permitting certain areas of responsibility to be allocated to the Independent Trustees together with its Independent Chairman, is appropriate given the characteristics of the Trust and Funds.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

The Board’s oversight responsibilities extend also to risk oversight, including but not limited to, risks related to investments and operations. Because risk management is a broad concept comprised of many elements (including, for example, but not limited to, investment risks, issuer risks, compliance risks, valuation risks, counterparty risks, operational risks, business continuity risks, and legal, compliance and regulatory risks) the oversight of different types of risks is addressed through various risk management reports and assessments received from the relevant management personnel and service providers. Through its direct oversight role, and indirectly through its Audit Committee, the Board performs a risk oversight function for the Funds consisting, among other things, of the following activities: (1) at regular Board meetings, and on an ad hoc basis as needed, receiving and reviewing reports related to the performance and operations of the Funds, including but not limited to investment, compliance, liquidity, valuation and operation risks; (2) reviewing and approving, as applicable, compliance policies and procedures of the Fund; (3) meeting with portfolio management teams to review investment strategies, techniques and processes and the investment risks associated therewith; (4) reviewing reports generated by and/or meeting with representatives of key service providers to review and discuss the risks associated with their activities for the Fund and any measures taken to mitigate those risks; (5) receiving the written and oral reports of the CCO at each of its quarterly meetings, meeting privately with the CCO, and receiving the annual report of the CCO regarding the operations of the Funds’, the CCO’s evaluation of the service providers’ compliance programs (including material issues that have arisen with the effectiveness of service providers’ compliance

programs and changes resulting thereof, and third-party evaluations of the effectiveness of service providers’ operational effectiveness) as well as any recommendations for modifications thereto; and (6) the Audit Committee meeting with the Treasurer and the Trust’s independent public accounting firm to discuss, among other things, the internal control structure of the Trust’s financial reporting function.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve a Fund’s goals, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness. Moreover, reports received by the Trustees as to risk management matters are typically summaries of the relevant information. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board’s risk management oversight is subject to certain limitations.

Information about Each Trustee’s Qualification, Experience, Attributes or Skills

The Board believes that each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees lead to the conclusion that the Board possesses the requisite attributes and skills. In addition to the information provided in the table above, listed below for each Trustee is additional information concerning the experiences, qualifications and attributes that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this SAI, that each current Trustee should serve as a trustee. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of trustees are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out of the Board or any Trustee as having any special expertise and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

Code of Ethics. Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act is designed to prevent abuses that could occur as a result of conflicts of interest arising out of personal trading by persons involved with or with access to information about the Fund’s investment activities. The Fund and the Advisor have each adopted a Code of Ethics regarding personal investing by their personnel pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. The Codes of Ethics each require personnel who are “access persons” of any Fund within the meaning of Rule 17j-1 to comply with the respective Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1, subject to sanctions by the Advisor, as applicable, in the event of non-compliance.

The Codes of Ethics place certain restrictions on the trading activities of its access persons. Under the Advisor’s Code, access persons are further required to pre-clear by memorandum approved by the Advisor’s Approval Committee each personal transaction in a non-exempt security. The pre-clearance process is designed to prevent transactions that conflict with the Wasatch Funds’ interests. Access persons under the Advisor’s Code of Ethics are also required to report their non-exempt personal securities transactions on a quarterly basis.

Proxy Voting Policies. The Trust’s and the Advisor’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Appendix B to this SAI.

The Trust on behalf of each of its series has filed with the SEC their proxy voting records on Form N-PX for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2011. Form N-PX must be filed by the Trust on

In December, 2007, the Advisor created WA Holdings, Inc. to act as a holding company of the Advisor. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WA Holdings, Inc. which is 100% owned by the employees of the Advisor. The holding company was created to allow the Advisor to plan for growth and the ongoing continuity of its organization.

The Advisory and Service Contract will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment. In addition, the Advisory and Service Contract is terminable at any time, without penalty, by the Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding voting securities on 60 days’ written notice to the Advisor, or by the Advisor upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. The Advisory and Service Contract shall continue in effect only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by either the Board of the Trust, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), provided that, in either event, such continuance is also approved by a vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to such Agreement, or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such parties, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

In order to promote quality service, the Advisor may give financial rewards or special recognition to employees of service providers, such as the Funds’ fulfillment agent, UMB Distribution Services, LLC. Costs associated with the financial rewards or special recognition are paid by the Advisor not the Funds.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit until January 31, 2013 the total annual fund operating expenses of the Institutional Class Shares of each Fund as follows: the Core Growth Fund to             , Small Cap Value Fund to             , and Large Cap Value Fund to              of average net assets calculated on a daily basis and will pay all expenses excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses, in excess of such limitations. Acquired Fund fees and expenses and dividend expense on short sales are excluded from the contractual fee waiver.

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Advisor accrued the following management fees and waived a portion of its management fees as set forth below.

There may be certain inherent conflicts of interest that arise in connection with a portfolio manager’s management of the Fund’s investments and the investments of any other fund or client accounts the Advisor or the Fund’s individual team members also manages, including Cross Creek Capital, L.P. (“Cross Creek”), a pooled investment vehicle whose general partner is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor and may receive a performance based fee from Cross Creek. Such conflicts include allocation of investment opportunities among the Funds and other accounts managed by the Advisor or the portfolio manager; the aggregation of purchase and sale orders believed to be in the best interest of more than one account managed by the Advisor or the portfolio manager and the allocation of such orders across such accounts; and any soft dollar arrangements that the Advisor may have in place that could benefit the Fund and/or other accounts. Additionally, some Funds or accounts managed by a portfolio manager may have different fee structures, including performance fees, which are, or have the potential to be, higher or lower than the fees paid by another fund or account. To minimize the effects of these inherent conflicts of interest, the Advisor has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including trade aggregation and allocation procedures, that it believes are reasonably designed to mitigate the potential conflicts associated with managing portfolios for multiple clients, including the Fund, and seeks to ensure that no one client is intentionally favored at the expense of another. These policies and procedures are discussed in more detail under the section entitled “Brokerage Allocation and Other Practices” of this SAI.

Wasatch Advisors, Inc.—Portfolio Management Team Compensation. As of             , 2012, the Advisor’s Compensation Committee and Executive Committee reviewed and determined its portfolio managers’ compensation. The committees may use independent third party investment industry compensation survey results in evaluating competitive market compensation for its investment professionals. The committees may also consult with professional industry recruiters. The elements of total compensation for the portfolio managers are base salary, performance-based bonus, profit sharing and other benefits. Portfolio managers who are also shareholders of the Advisor additionally receive quarterly dividends. The Advisor has balanced the components of pay to provide portfolio managers with an incentive to focus on both shorter and longer term performance. By design, portfolio manager compensation levels fluctuate — both up and down — with the relative investment performance of the Fund that they manage.

 

  ¡  

Base Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a fixed base salary based on the individual’s experience and responsibilities.

 

  ¡  

Performance-Based Bonus. A large portion of a portfolio manager’s potential compensation is in the form of a performance-based bonus. The majority of the performance-based bonus is tied to the pre-tax performance of the Fund(s) he or she manages and the remaining small portion is tied to the average pre-tax performance of all of the Funds advised by the Advisor (the “team bonus”). Bonuses tied to the performance of the Fund(s) managed by the portfolio manager are paid based on the relevant Fund’s Morningstar (or other, where relevant) peer group ranking for the relative time period (1-year, 3-years and 5-years) while the team bonus is paid based on the average of the Morningstar peer group rankings for all Funds for the same time periods (1-year, 3-years and 5-years). Maximum one-year potential performance bonus is 2.7 to 4.0 times base salary. The potential bonus doubles, then triples, once 3-year and 5-year track records are

established for each portfolio manager. A small portion (10%) of the portfolio managers bonus is a discretionary bonus based on culture attributes such as: teamwork, firm stewardship, people development and mentoring.

As shown in the table above, the portfolio managers manage multiple separate accounts in addition to the Fund. Performance-based bonuses for the Advisor’s portfolio managers are paid on the relative performance of the Fund(s) and separate accounts he or she manages. The Advisor minimizes any conflicts that arise due to the majority of performance-based compensation deriving from one account through its trading policies and procedures as described above.

 

  ¡  

Profit Sharing. In addition to performance-based bonuses, portfolio managers receive profit sharing bonuses quarterly.

¡             Certain portfolio managers have profit sharing that is granted in units, with the profit sharing per unit tied to the Advisor’s dividend rate. The number of units granted to a portfolio manager depends upon his/her experience and responsibilities. Profit sharing rewards portfolio managers for their contribution to the success of the firm as a whole. These Profit Sharing bonuses are the smallest component of portfolio manager compensation at approximately 0.6 times base salary.

¡             Certain portfolio managers, primarily those who are principal shareholders of the Advisor, receive a significant proportion of their compensation in the form of profit sharing that is based on the profitability of the firm. This links their compensation more to the profitability of the firm than to the performance of their managed accounts. We believe that this is appropriate as each of these individuals has a key role in firm management and governance.

 

  ¡  

Dividends. Portfolio managers who are shareholders in the Advisor also receive quarterly dividends. The dividend rate is determined by the Advisor’s Board of Directors.

 

  ¡  

Other Benefits. Portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in broad-based plans offered generally to the Advisor’s full-time employees, including 401(k), health and other employee benefit plans.

Portfolio Management Team Fund Ownership. As of December 31, 2011, the Portfolio Managers owned shares of the Fund as set forth in the table below. The following are the ranges: none, $1-$10,000, $10,001-$50,000, $50,001-$100,000, $100,001-$500,000, $500,001-$1,000,000, or over $1,000,000.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

The brokerage practices are monitored quarterly by the Board of Trustees including the Trustees that are disinterested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Wasatch Funds.

The Advisor is responsible for selecting the broker or dealer to execute transactions for the Funds and for negotiating and determining any commission rates to be paid for such transactions. The Advisor has no affiliated broker-dealer. The Advisor will use its best efforts to have transactions executed at prices that are advantageous to the Funds and at commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received. The Advisor may consider a number of factors when selecting a broker or dealer to effect a transaction, including its financial strength and stability, its reputation and access to the markets for the security being traded, the efficiency with which the transaction will be effected, and the value of research products and services that a broker lawfully may provide to assist the Advisor in the exercise of its investment decision-making responsibilities. Although the Advisor may use broker-dealers that sell Fund shares to make transactions for the Funds’ portfolios, the Advisor will not consider the sale of Fund shares as a factor when choosing financial firms to make those transactions.

During 2002 there was a shift in the brokerage industry toward trading securities in the over-the-counter market on agency or commission-equivalent basis rather than on a principal or net price basis. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) purchases and sales may be transacted directly with principal market makers or, under circumstances, on an agency basis if the Advisor believes that the interests of clients are best served by using a broker to execute OTC transactions where one or more market makers may not have the necessary liquidity and/or anonymity to fill the order. When the Advisor elects to transact in OTC securities on an agency basis, two transaction costs for a single trade may be incurred: a commission paid to the executing broker-dealer plus any mark-up or mark-down charged by the market making broker-dealer. The Funds also expect that securities will be purchased at times in underwritten offerings where the price includes a fixed amount of compensation, usually referred to as the underwriter’s concessions or discount. On occasion, purchases may also be made from the issuers.

Purchases and sales of fixed income securities will usually be principal transactions. Such securities are often purchased or sold from or to dealers serving as market makers for the securities at a net price. Generally, fixed income securities are traded on a net basis and do not involve brokerage commissions. The cost of executing fixed income securities transactions with dealers consists primarily of dealer spreads (i.e., a spread between the bid and asked prices). On occasion, purchases may also be made from the issuers. Purchases of new issues from underwriters of securities typically include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter.

If the Advisor believes that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interest of more than one of its clients (including the Funds), the Advisor may aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to obtain favorable execution and/or lower brokerage commissions. In certain foreign markets, aggregation may occur at the broker level at the instruction of the Advisor. If an aggregate order is partially filled, the Advisor will allocate securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expense incurred in the transaction, on a pro-rata basis or in another manner it considers to be equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to its clients.

Conflicts may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts (including the Funds) that the Advisor advises. The Advisor will seek to allocate investment opportunities believed appropriate for one or more of its accounts equitably and consistent with the best interests of all accounts involved; however, there can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity that comes to the Advisor’s attention will be allocated in any particular manner.

 

47


Table of Contents

From time to time, the Advisor is given the opportunity to purchase an allocation of shares in an initial public offering (“IPO”). These allocations may be offered to the Advisor in part as a result of its past usage of various brokerage firms or previous private investments. If the aggregate order is partially filled, the Advisor will generally allocate securities purchased in these offerings to client accounts (including the Funds) within the designated investment style(s) for which the security is best suited using a pro-rata or other method believed equitable by it, unless the total allocation to the Advisor or a particular investment style is de minimis.

Certain personnel of the Advisor provide investment advice to an affiliated private investment fund, Cross Creek Capital, L.P. (“Cross Creek”) as members of an investment committee appointed by Cross Creek’s general partner, Cross Creek Capital GP, L.P. (the “General Partner”). The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Advisor. From time to time the Funds and Cross Creek may co-invest in the same private company or the Funds may participate in an IPO for a company in which Cross Creek is already a shareholder (each an “aggregated transaction”). The Advisor will generally allocate securities purchased in these aggregated transactions to client accounts (including the Funds and Cross Creek) using a pro-rata or other method believed equitable by it, unless the total allocation to the Advisor or a particular investment style is de minimis.

Certain conflicts of interest will arise related to aggregated transactions. The Advisor will disclose to the Board of Trustees of the Funds the existence of all of the material facts relating to any conflicts of interest between the Advisor, the Funds and Cross Creek in any aggregated transaction to allow the independent trustees to approve the mutual fund’s participation in the aggregated transaction, before or after the transaction. The Board of Trustees has approved written trade aggregation policies and procedures that seek to ensure that aggregated transactions are made in a manner that is fair and equitable to, and in the best interests of, the various funds and accounts. The Board of Trustees, in conjunction with the Advisor, will review the trade aggregation policies and procedures no less frequently than annually to seek to ensure that they are adequate to prevent any Wasatch Fund from being systematically disadvantaged as a result of the aggregated transactions.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has authorized the Advisor to pay a broker who provides research services commissions that are competitive but that are higher than the lowest available rate that another broker might have charged if the Advisor determines in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. The provision of such services in exchange for brokerage business is commonly referred to as “soft-dollar arrangements.” Payment of higher commissions in exchange for research services will be made in compliance with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and other applicable state and federal laws. Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act defines “research” as, among other things, advice, directly or through publications or writings, as to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; and analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts. Research products and services provided to the Advisor by broker-dealers may include, among other things, databases, data services, certain software and publications that provide access to and/or analysis of company, market and statistical data and proprietary research and analysis. In addition, the Advisor may receive certain products and services which provide both research and non-research or administrative assistance (“mixed-use”) benefits, for example, software which is used for both portfolio analysis and account administration. In these instances, the Advisor makes a reasonable allocation as follows: the portion of such service of specific component which provides assistance to Advisor in its investment decision-making responsibilities is obtained from the broker-dealer with commissions paid on client portfolio transactions (including the Funds), while the portion of such services or specific component which provides non-research assistance is paid by the Advisor with its own resources.

Table of Contents

The Advisor places portfolio transactions for other advisory accounts. Research services furnished by firms through which the Trust effects its securities transactions may be used by the Advisor in servicing all of its accounts; not all of such services may be used by the Advisor in connection with the Trust. In the opinion of the Advisor, the benefits from research services to each of the accounts (including the Funds) managed by the Advisor cannot be measured separately. Because the volume and nature of the trading activities of the accounts are not uniform, the amount of commissions in excess of the lowest available rate paid by each account for brokerage and research services will vary. However, in the opinion of the Advisor, such costs to the Trust will not be disproportionate to the benefits received by the Trust on a continuing basis.

The Funds are required to identify the securities of their regular brokers or dealers (as defined in Rule 10b-1 under the 1940 Act) or their parent companies held by the Funds as of the close of their most recent fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Funds acquired securities of certain of the Funds’ regular broker dealers or the parents of such firms. The aggregate holdings of the Funds of those brokers or dealers as of September 30, 2011 (amounts in thousands, except shares) were as follows:

 

Broker/Dealer    Fund    Shares        Principal        Market Value  
                     

 

                     

 

                     

 

                     

 

                     

 

                     

 

                     

 

                     

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the following Funds paid the following brokerage commissions on agency transactions:

The changes in the brokerage commissions from 2008 to 2009 are the result of changes in the asset levels and turnover rates of some of the Funds.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Funds directed brokerage transactions to brokers for proprietary and third party research services. The amount of such transactions and related commissions were as follows:

OTHER INFORMATION

Wasatch Funds is a business trust organized under Massachusetts law and it is a successor in interest to Wasatch Funds, Inc., incorporated under Utah law on November 18, 1986 and reincorporated as a Minnesota corporation in January 1998. Wasatch Funds is an open-end, registered management investment company under the 1940 Act.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is authorized to issue shares in one or more series, which may be divided into classes of shares. Under the Declaration of Trust, the number of authorized shares of each series and the number of shares of each series that may be issued shall be unlimited. Shares may be issued from time to time on such terms as the Trustees may deem advisable. The Trust shall have the right to refuse to issue shares at any time and for any reason or for no reason whatsoever.

The Trustees may divide or combine any issued or unissued shares of any series into a greater or lesser number; classify or reclassify any issued or unissued shares into one or more series; terminate any one or more series; change the name of a series; and take such other action with respect to the series as the Trustees may deem desirable. In addition, the Trustees shall have the full power and authority to establish additional series and classes of shares in the future, to change those series or classes and to determine the designations, rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and such other relative terms as shall be determined by the Trustees from time to time. The Trustees may from time to time modify any of the relative rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and other relative terms of a series established by the Trustees or redesignate any of the series without any action or consent of shareholders.

Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act permits open-end investment companies to issue multiple classes of shares, subject to certain conditions including that the investment company’s board of directors/trustees approve a written plan setting forth the separate arrangement and expense allocation of each class and any related conversion features or exchange features.

Currently, there are 19 series of the Trust authorized and outstanding. Consistent with the authority in the Declaration of Trust and Rule 18f-3, the Board has approved a multi-class plan (the “Multi-Class Plan”) pursuant to which the Board has established and designated two classes for each series, including the Fund, known as Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares. The number of authorized shares of each class is unlimited. However, only three series of the Trust (the Wasatch Core Growth Fund, the Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund and the Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund) currently offer Institutional Class Shares. Accordingly, although the Board has established and designated two classes, the Fund currently only offers the Investor Class Shares. Under the Multi-Class Plan, each class of shares of a series of the Trust shall represent interests in the same portfolio of investments of such series and, except as otherwise set forth in the Multi-Class Plan, shall differ solely with respect to: (i) distribution, service and other charges and expenses as set forth therein; (ii) the exclusive right of each class of shares to vote on matters submitted to shareholders that relate solely to that class or for which the interests of one class differ from the interests of another class or classes; (iii) such differences related to eligible investors as may be set forth in the prospectus and statement of additional information of the series, as amended or supplemented from time to time; (iv) the designation of each class of shares; and (v) conversion features. Accordingly, each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of a fund. Each class of shares has equal rights to voting, redemption, dividends and liquidation, except that each class bears different class expenses and each has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that relate solely to that class or for which the interests of one class differ from the interests of another class. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, except that shares of the Institutional Class, if available, held by any shareholder who is no

longer eligible to hold such shares may be converted at the discretion of the Board or any authorized Fund officer, to shares of a class in which the shareholder is eligible on the basis of the relative net asset values of the purchase class and target class without the imposition of any sale load, fee or other charge. Shares of a class of a Fund may be exchanged for shares of the same class of another fund of the Trust, provided the shareholder meets the minimum purchase requirements of the fund into which you are exchanging. Similarly, shareholders of a class of shares of a fund of the Trust who are eligible to hold shares of another class in the same fund or another series of the Trust may exchange their shares for the other class on the basis of relative net assets provided the shareholder meets the minimum purchase requirements and any other eligibility requirements for the fund being purchased. [For federal income tax purposes, an exchange between different funds may constitute a sale or purchase of shares and result in a capital gain or loss and be a taxable event. An exchange between classes of shares of the same fund may not be considered a taxable event. Please consult with your own tax advisor for further information.] The Board of Trustees has the right to establish additional series and classes of shares in the future, to change those series or classes and to determine the preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges thereof. The Board of Trustees may also from time to time modify any of the relative rights, preferences, privileges, limitations, restrictions and other relative terms of a class of a series that have been established by the Trustees; divide or combine the issued or unissued shares of any class of a series into a greater or lesser number; classify or reclassify any issued or unissued shares of any class of a series into one or more classes of such series; combine two or more classes of a series into a single class of such series; in each case without any action or consent of the shareholders.

Shareholders have the power to vote on the election or removal of Trustees to the extent and as provided in the Declaration of Trust and on any additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by law or as the Trustees may consider and determine necessary or desirable. Each whole share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote as to any matter on which the holder is entitled to vote, and fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of Trustees or on any other matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders. On any matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Trust, all shares of all series and classes then entitled to vote shall be voted together, except that (i) when required by the 1940 Act to be voted by individual series or class, shares shall be voted by individual series or class, and (ii) when the Trustees have determined that the matter affects only the interests of shareholders of one or more series or classes, only shareholders of such one or more series or classes shall be entitled to vote thereon.

Each share of a series shall represent a beneficial interest in the net assets allocated or belonging to such series only, and such interest shall not extend to the assets of the Trust generally (except to the extent that General Assets, as defined in the Declaration of Trust, are allocated to such series), and shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the net assets of the series upon liquidation of the series as set forth in the Declaration of Trust. The shareholders shall not, as such holders, have any right to acquire, purchase, or subscribe for any shares or securities of the Trust that it may hereafter issue or sell, or have any preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights, except as the Trustees may determine from time to time.

Under Massachusetts law applicable to Massachusetts business trusts, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its obligations. However, the Declaration of Trust of the Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of this disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking entered into or executed by the Trust or Trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides that no personal liability for any debt, liability or obligation or expense incurred by, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to, the Trust or any series or class shall attach to any shareholder or former shareholder of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust further provides for indemnification out of the assets and property of the Trust for all losses and expenses of any

shareholder held personally responsible for the obligations of the Trust. More specifically, the Declaration of Trust provides that in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Trust shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets of the Trust or, if the Trust has more than one series, the applicable series, to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability; provided, however, there shall be no liability or obligation of the Trust or series arising hereunder to reimburse any shareholder for taxes paid by reason of such shareholder’s ownership of any shares or for losses suffered by reason of any changes in value of any Trust assets. The Trust or applicable series shall, upon request by the shareholder or former shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust or applicable series and satisfy any judgment thereon.

The Trust is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings. Meetings of shareholders of the Trust or of any series shall be called by order of the Trustees upon written request of shareholders holding shares representing in the aggregate not less than one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matters specified in such written request provided that (1) such request shall state the purposes of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on, and (2) the shareholders requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Trust the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof, which the Secretary shall determine and specify to such shareholders. No special meeting need be called upon the request of shareholders entitled to cast less than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at that meeting to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any meeting of the shareholders during the preceding twelve months.

PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

The procedures to be followed in the purchase and redemption of shares as well as the method of determining the net asset value (NAV or a Fund’s share price) are fully disclosed in the Prospectus. Securities traded on a recognized stock exchange or market are valued at the last reported sales price from the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (“Primary Market”). A security traded on NASDAQ is valued at its official closing price. If there are no sales on any exchange or market on a given day, then the security is valued at the most recent bid price. If a security’s price is available on more than one U.S. or foreign exchange, the exchange that is the Primary Market for the security shall be used.

Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than sixty (60) days are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by a pricing service. Prices supplied by a pricing service may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration actual trading activity and volume, market indexes, credit quality, maturity, yield curves or other specific adjustments. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or less at the time of purchase generally are valued by the amortized cost method (i.e. valuation at acquisition cost increased each day by an amount equal to the daily accretion of the discount or amortization of premium) unless it is determined that the amortized cost method would not represent fair value, in which case the securities are marked to market. At times, valuations for debt securities may not be obtainable from pricing services. In all such cases, the Advisor will attempt to obtain market quotations from two or more dealers not affiliated with the Advisor (preferably market makers) and the security will be valued at the average of those quotations.

 

52


Table of Contents

If it is impracticable to obtain quotations from more than one dealer in time for the calculation of net asset value or if only one dealer provides a quotation, the quotation from that single dealer may be used. Where no dealer quotation is available, the Advisor, either independently or through the Funds’ accounting agent, may obtain market valuations from a widely used quotation system. If no such quotation is available for a security, the security will be valued at “fair value” using the procedures described below.

Option contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, if available, and otherwise are valued at the current bid price. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price for the day. Securities or other portfolio assets denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing currency exchange rate at the time the Funds’ NAVs are calculated, or as close to that time as is practicable.

Securities and other assets for which market prices are not readily available are priced at “fair value” as determined by the joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor and the Funds (the “Pricing Committee”) in accordance with procedures and methodologies approved by the Board. Trading in securities on many foreign securities exchanges is normally completed before the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Trading on foreign exchanges may not take place on all days on which there is regular trading on the NYSE, or may take place on days on which there is no regular trading on the NYSE (e.g., any of the national business holidays identified below). If events materially affecting the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities occur between the time when a foreign exchange closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated (see following paragraph), such securities may be valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies approved by the Board. In addition, the Funds may adjust the closing prices of certain foreign securities traded on markets that have closed prior to the U.S. equity markets (principally, overseas markets), using fair value factors provided by an independent pricing agent, on any business day a change in the value of the U.S. equity markets (as represented by a benchmark index approved by the Board of Trustees) exceeds a certain threshold. The prices will not be adjusted for securities traded on markets that are open the same time U.S. equity markets are open, or when a reliable fair value factor is unavailable.

The Funds’ portfolio securities are valued (and net asset value per share is determined) as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NYSE is closed, and net asset value will not be calculated, on the following national holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. NYSE holidays are subject to change without notice. The NYSE may close early the day before each of these holidays and the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The number of shares you receive when you place a purchase order, and the payment you receive after submitting a redemption request, is based on a Fund’s net asset value next determined after your instructions are received in “good order” by the Transfer Agent or by your registered securities dealer. Since a Fund may invest in securities that are listed on foreign exchanges that may trade on weekends or other days when Fund shares are not priced, the Fund’s net asset value may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund’s shares. The sale of a Fund’s shares will be suspended during any period when the determination of its net asset value is suspended pursuant to rules or orders of the SEC and may be suspended by the Board whenever in its judgment it is in the Fund’s best interest to do so.

Table of Contents

The Funds will deduct a fee of 2.00% from redemption proceeds on shares held 60 days or less subject to certain exceptions. This redemption fee is paid directly to the applicable Fund and is designed to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading. If a shareholder bought shares on different days, the shares held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. The redemption fee assessed by certain financial intermediaries that have omnibus accounts in the Funds, including employer-sponsored retirement accounts, may be calculated using methodologies that differ from those utilized by the Funds’ transfer agent. Such differences are typically attributable to system design differences unrelated to the investment in the Funds. These system differences are not intended or expected to facilitate market timing or frequent trading.

The redemption fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of dividends, redeemed through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan or in the event of any involuntary redemption and/or exchange transactions (including those required by law or regulation, a regulatory agency, a court order, or as a result of a liquidation of a Fund by the Board of Trustees). The redemption fee may be waived for omnibus accounts held by financial intermediaries whose systems are unable to assess the redemption fee and certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts (including certain 401(k) and other types of defined contribution or employee benefit plans). The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed from shareholder accounts liquidated for failure to meet the minimum investment requirement. The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed from a shareholder account for which the identity of the shareholder, for purposes of complying with anti-money laundering (AML) laws, could not be determined within a reasonable time after the account was opened. The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed through an automatic, nondiscretionary rebalancing or asset allocation program. The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed due to a disability as defined by the IRS requirements. The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed due to death for shares transferred from a decedent’s account to a beneficiary’s account. The redemption fee does not apply in the event of a back office correction made to an account to provide a shareholder with the intended transaction. The redemption fee does not apply in the event of the following transactions: a distribution taken from a defined contribution terminated employee account, a plan distribution of non-vested participant balance in a defined contribution account, a distribution taken from a defined contribution plan to provide a participant with a loan against the account, or an amount contributed to a defined contribution plan exceeding the maximum annual contribution limit. The redemption fee does not apply to shares gifted from one shareholder account to another shareholder account, assuming the age of the gifted shares is greater than 60 days. The redemption fee may be waived by the Funds’ officers in any case where the nature of the transaction or circumstances do not pose the risks that the Board of Trustees’ policies and procedures to prevent market timing are designed to mitigate. All waivers provided by the Funds’ officers will be disclosed to the Funds’ Board of Trustees at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Funds reserve the right to modify or eliminate the redemption fee or waivers at any time.

Investors may exchange their shares of the Funds for shares of the Wasatch-Federated Money Market Account as provided in the Prospectus. UMBFS, in its capacity as Transfer Agent for the Funds, receives a service fee from the Wasatch-Federated Money Market Account at the annual rate of 0.20% of the first $20 million, 0.15% on the next $80 million, and 0.10% above $100 million of the average daily net asset value of shares exchanged from a Fund into the Wasatch-Federated Money Market Account. The Advisor receives a fee from the investment adviser of the Wasatch-Federated Money Market Account for certain administrative and recordkeeping services.

The Funds have authorized one or more brokers and other institutions (collectively “financial institutions”) to accept on their behalf purchase and redemption orders. Such financial institutions are authorized to designate intermediaries to accept orders on the Funds’ behalf. The Funds will be deemed

 

54


Table of Contents

to have received the order when an authorized financial institution or its authorized designee accepts the order. Customer orders will be priced at the Funds’ NAV next computed after they are accepted by a financial institution or its authorized designee.

The Funds have filed a notification of election under Rule 18f-1 of the Investment Company Act committing to pay in cash all requests for redemption by any shareholder of record, limited in amount with respect to each shareholder of record during any 90-day period to the lesser of: (1) $250,000 or (2) 1% of the net asset value of the Fund at the beginning of such election period.

The Funds intend to also pay redemption proceeds in excess of such lesser amount in cash, but reserve the right to pay such excess amount in kind, if it is deemed in the best interest of the Funds to do so. In making a redemption in kind, the Funds reserve the right to make a selection from each portfolio holding a number of shares which will reflect the portfolio makeup and the value will approximate as closely as possible the value of the Funds’ shares being redeemed; any shortfall will be made up in cash. Investors receiving an in kind distribution are advised that they will likely incur a brokerage charge on the sale of such securities through a broker. The values of portfolio securities distributed in kind will be the values used for the purpose of calculating the per share net asset value used in valuing the Funds’ shares tendered for redemption. This distribution will be treated as a sale for federal income tax purposes and you will generally recognize gain or loss, generally based on the value at the time of the securities and the amount of cash received. The Internal Revenue Service could, however, assert that a loss could not be currently deducted.

The method of computing the offering price of a Fund’s shares is net assets divided by shares outstanding which equals net asset value per share (offering and redemption price). To illustrate the method of computing the offering price of shares, below is an example of an offering price per share for a fund:

Eligible Investments into Closed Funds

As described below, the Advisor may take action to periodically close or limit inflows into certain Wasatch Funds to control asset levels. Information on eligible investments in Funds closed to new investors and to new investors and existing shareholders can be found below and on Wasatch Funds’ web site at www.wasatchfunds.com. The Advisor will make every effort to post information related to fund closings or reopenings on the Funds’ web site at least two weeks prior to the effective date. With regard to closed Funds, below are examples of actions the Advisor or the Funds may take to control asset levels, to employ the Fund’s investment strategy, or in an effort to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives. Furthermore, each Fund reserves the right to reject any trade, whether direct or through an intermediary, if it determines that such trade or order is not in the best interests of the Fund or its shareholders. The Advisor has established a Closed Products Exceptions Committee. A majority of the Closed Products Exceptions Committee must approve any action taken to close or limit inflows in any Fund. Additionally, the Closed Product Exception Committee retains the right to make exceptions to any action taken to close or limit inflows into a Fund.

Closing a Fund

The Advisor or a Fund may take action to periodically close (“hard close”) or limit inflows into (“soft close”) a Fund to protect a Fund’s investment objective. For example, the Advisor or the Fund may:

Permit only existing shareholders to add to their existing accounts through the purchase of additional shares and through the reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gain distributions on any shares owned.

 

   

Limit the ability to open new accounts through intermediary channels.

 

   

Limit shareholders’ ability to add to their accounts through the Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”) or increase the AIP amount.

 

   

Limit the ability of sponsors of qualified contribution retirement plans (for example, 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, and money purchase plans), 403(b) plans or 457 plans and other intermediaries to permit purchases by new plans or existing participants.

 

   

Limit the ability of intermediaries and financial advisers to purchase shares for new and existing clients.

 

   

Prohibit new purchases by existing shareholders and new investors.

 

   

Limit exchange privileges.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS

This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning shares of the Funds. This section is current as of the date of the SAI. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and these summaries do not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, these summaries generally do not describe your situation if you are a corporation, a non-U.S. person, a broker/dealer, or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section does not describe your state, local or foreign tax consequences.

This federal income tax summary is based in part on the advice of counsel to the Trust. The Internal Revenue Service could disagree with any conclusions set forth in this section. In addition, our counsel was not asked to review, and has not reached a conclusion with respect to the Federal income tax treatment of assets to be invested in a Fund. This may not be sufficient for prospective investors to use for the purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law.

As with any investment, prospective investors should seek advice based on their individual circumstances from their own tax advisor.

Reference is made to “Taxes” in the Prospectus.

Each Fund will be treated as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. If a Fund meets the federal tax requirements for so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes its net investment income and realized net capital gains.

Each Fund intends to generally pay shareholders distributions, if any, from net investment income and any net capital gains it has realized. These distributions will generally be taxable, whether paid in cash

or reinvested (unless the investment is in an IRA or other tax advantaged account, in which case the tax may be deferred).

Capital loss carryforwards are available through September 30 of the year specified below to offset future realized net capital gains. To the extent allowable by law, future gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards and will not be distributed. Based on information from the Funds, the capital loss carryforwards and their amounts are set forth in the table below.

Distributions paid from a Fund’s net investment income will be taxable as ordinary income or as qualified dividend income. Currently, ordinary income is subject to graduated federal tax rates as high as 35%; qualified dividend income is subject to a maximum federal tax rate of 15%. Each Fund will report the portion (if any) of its distributions from investment earnings during each year that constitute qualified dividends. Generally, dividends that a Fund receives from domestic corporations and from foreign corporations whose stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. or which are domiciled in countries on a list established by the Internal Revenue Service will qualify for qualified dividend treatment when paid out to investors.

Distributions from a Fund’s net short-term capital gains are generally taxable as ordinary income. Distributions from a Fund’s long-term capital gains, if any, are generally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long the shares have been held. Long-term capital gains are generally currently subject to a maximum federal income tax rate of 15%. In certain cases (for example, with some capital gains attributable to REIT shares) a higher rate applies.

Absent further legislation, the current maximum tax rate on qualified dividend income and long-term capital gains will cease to apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012.

Any dividend or capital gain distribution paid shortly after a purchase of shares of a Fund will have the effect of reducing the per share net asset value of such shares by the amount of the dividend or distribution. Furthermore, even if the net asset value of the shares of a Fund immediately after a dividend or distribution is less than the cost of such shares to the investor, the dividend or distribution will be taxable to the investor.

Redemption of shares will generally result in a capital gain or loss for income tax purposes, subject to various loss non-recognition rules. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term or short-term, depending upon the holding period. However, if a loss is realized on shares held for six months or less, and the investor received a capital gain distribution during that period, then such loss is treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain distribution received. Investors may also be subject to state and local taxes.

To the extent a Fund invests in REITs, the REITs in which a Fund invests may generate significant non-cash deductions, such as depreciation on real estate holdings, while having greater cash flow to distribute to their shareholders. If a REIT distributes more cash than its current or accumulated earnings and profits, a return of capital results. Similarly, a Fund may pay a return of capital distribution to shareholders by distributing more cash than its current or accumulated earnings and profits. The cost basis of shares will be decreased by the amount of returned capital (but not below zero), which may result in a larger capital gain or smaller capital loss when the shares are sold. To the

 

57


Table of Contents

extent such a distribution exceeds your cost basis in the shares, you generally will be treated as realizing a taxable gain from the sale or exchange of shares. The actual composition for tax reporting purposes will depend on the year end tax characterizations of dividends paid by certain securities held by the Funds and tax regulations.

Each Fund is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate set forth in applicable IRS Rules and Regulations (“backup withholding”) from dividend payments and redemption and exchange proceeds if an investor fails to furnish his/her Social Security Number or other Tax Identification Number or fails to certify under penalty of perjury that such number is correct or that he/she is not subject to backup withholding due to the underreporting of income. The certification form is included as part of the share purchase application and should be completed when the account is opened.

Under the Code, each Fund will be subject to a 4% excise tax on a portion of its undistributed income if it fails to meet certain distribution requirements by the end of the calendar year. Each Fund intends to make distributions in a timely manner and accordingly does not expect to be subject to the excise tax.

Under the Code, any dividend declared by a regulated investment company in October, November or December of any calendar year and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such month shall be deemed to have been received by each shareholder on such date, and to have been paid by such company on such date if such dividend is actually paid by the company before February 1 of the following calendar year.

If a Fund invests in zero coupon bonds or other bonds issued at a discount upon their issuance, such obligations will have original issue discount in the hands of the Fund. Generally, the original issue discount equals the difference between the “stated redemption price at maturity” of the obligation and its “issue price,” as those terms are defined in the Code. Similarly, if a Fund acquires an already issued zero coupon bond at a discount from another holder, the bond will have original issue discount in the Fund’s hands, equal to the difference between the “adjusted issue price” of the bond at the time the Fund acquires it (that is, the original issue price of the bond plus the amount of original issue discount accrued to date) and its stated redemption price at maturity. In each case, a Fund is required to accrue as ordinary interest income a portion of the original issue discount even though it receives no cash currently as interest payment on the obligation.

If a Fund invests in TIPS (or other inflation-indexed debt instruments), it generally will be required to treat as original issue discount any increase in the principal amount of the securities that occurs during the course of its taxable year. If a Fund purchases such inflation protection securities (or other U.S. Treasury obligations) that are in stripped form, either as stripped bonds or coupons, it will be treated as if it had purchased a newly issued debt instrument having original issue discount.

Because each Fund is required to distribute substantially all of its net investment income (including accrued original issue discount), a Fund investing in either zero coupon bonds or other bonds issued at a discount, TIPS or stripped U.S. Treasury obligations may be required to distribute to shareholders an amount greater than the total cash income it actually receives. Accordingly, in order to make the required distributions, the Fund may be required to borrow or liquidate securities.

Certain of the Funds’ investment practices are subject to special and complex federal income tax provisions that may, among other things, (i) disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions, (ii) convert lower taxed long-term capital gain into higher taxed short-term capital gain or ordinary income, (iii) convert an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited), (iv) cause a Fund to recognize income or gain without a corresponding receipt of cash, (v) adversely affect the time as to when a purchase or sale of stock or

 

58


Table of Contents

securities is deemed to occur and (vi) adversely alter the characterization of certain complex financial transactions.

Each Fund’s transactions in Futures Contracts and options will be subject to special provisions of the Code that, among other things, may affect the character of gains and losses realized by the Fund (i.e., may affect whether gains or losses are ordinary or capital, or short-term or long-term), may accelerate recognition of income to the Fund and may defer Fund losses. These rules could, therefore, affect the character, amount and timing of distributions to shareholders. These provisions also (a) will require the Fund to mark-to-market certain types of the positions in its portfolio (i.e., treat them as if they were closed out), and (b) may cause the Fund to recognize income without receiving cash with which to make distributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement for qualifying to be taxed as a regulated investment company and the 98% distribution requirement for avoiding excise taxes.

Income received from sources within foreign countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax applicable to such income in advance since the precise amount of a Fund’s assets to be invested in various countries is not known. Any amount of taxes paid by a Fund to foreign countries will reduce the amount of income available to the Fund for distributions to shareholders.

Under the Code, if more than 50% of the value of total assets of a Fund at the close of its taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may file an election with the Internal Revenue Service to pass through to the Fund’s shareholders the amount of foreign taxes paid by the Fund. Pursuant to this election, shareholders will be required to: (i) include in gross income their pro rata share of the foreign taxes paid by a Fund; (ii) treat their pro rata share of foreign taxes as paid by them; and (iii) either deduct their pro rata share of foreign taxes in computing their taxable income or use their share as a foreign tax credit against U.S. income taxes. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by a shareholder who does not itemize deductions, and the ability of a shareholder to take advantage of the foreign tax deduction or credit is subject to a number of requirements and limitations. Each shareholder will be notified within 60 days after the close of a Fund’s taxable year whether the foreign taxes paid by the Fund will pass through for that year.

Under the Code, the amount of foreign taxes for which a shareholder may claim a foreign tax credit is subject to limitation based on certain categories applicable to the income subjected to foreign tax.

Each Fund may invest in shares of foreign corporations that may be classified under the Code as passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”). A PFIC is generally defined as a foreign corporation that meets either of the following tests: (1) at least 75% of its annual gross income for a taxable year is passive income (such as certain interest, dividends, rents and royalties, or capital gains) or (2) it holds an average of at least 50% of its assets in investments producing (or held for the production of) such passive income. If a Fund acquires any equity interest (which generally includes not only stock but also an option to acquire stock such as is inherent in a convertible bond under proposed Treasury Regulations) in a PFIC, the Fund could be subject to federal income tax and IRS interest charges on some of the “excess distributions” received from the PFIC or on some of the gain from the sale of stock in the PFIC, even if all income or gain actually received by a Fund is timely distributed to its shareholders. Excess distributions and gain from the sale of stock in a PFIC will be characterized as ordinary income even though, absent the application of PFIC rules, some excess distributions would have been classified as capital gains. A Fund will not be permitted to pass through to its shareholders any credit or deduction for taxes and interest charges incurred with respect to PFICs. Elections are available that would ameliorate tax consequences, but such elections may require a Fund to recognize

 

59


Table of Contents

taxable income or gain without the concurrent receipt of cash. Dividends paid by PFICs will not be treated as qualified dividend income.

Because application of PFIC rules may affect, among other things, the character of gains, the amount of gain or loss and the timing of the recognition of income with respect to PFIC stocks, as well as subject a Fund itself to tax on certain income from PFIC stocks, the amount that must be distributed to shareholders, and which will be taxed to shareholders as ordinary income or long-term capital gain, may be increased or decreased substantially as compared to a fund that did not invest in PFIC stock. Furthermore, in order to distribute this “phantom” income and gain to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement and to avoid the imposition of the 4% excise tax, a Fund may be required to liquidate other investments, including when it may not be advantageous for the Fund to liquidate such investments, which may accelerate the recognition of gains. Distributions from a PFIC are not eligible for the reduced rate of tax on “qualified dividends.” In addition, it is not always possible to identify a foreign corporation as a PFIC in advance of acquiring shares in the corporation; therefore, a Fund may incur the tax and interest charges described above in some instances.

If you are a foreign investor (i.e., an investor other than a U.S. citizen or resident or a U.S. corporation, partnership, estate or trust), you should be aware that, generally, subject to applicable tax treaties, distributions from a Fund will be characterized as dividends for federal income tax purposes (other than dividends which the Fund designates as capital gain dividends) and will be subject to U.S. income taxes, including withholding taxes, subject to certain exceptions described below. However, distributions received by a foreign investor from a Fund that are properly designated by the Fund as capital gain dividends may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, provided that the Fund makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met.

In the case of dividends with respect to taxable years of a Fund beginning prior to 2012, distributions from a Fund that are properly designated by the Fund as an interest-related dividend attributable to certain interest income received by the Fund or as a short-term capital gain dividend attributable to certain net short-term capital gain income received by the Fund may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes when received by certain foreign investors, provided that the Fund makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met.

For those securities defined as “covered” under current IRS cost basis tax reporting regulations, the Funds are responsible for maintaining accurate cost basis and tax lot information for tax reporting purposes. Each Fund is not responsible for the reliability or accuracy of the information for those securities that are not “covered.” Each Fund and its service providers do not provide tax advice. You should consult independent sources, which may include a tax professional, with respect to any decisions you may make with respect to choosing a tax lot identification method.

As of January 1, 2012, federal law requires that mutual fund companies report their shareholders’ cost basis, gain/loss, and holding period to the IRS on the Funds’ shareholders’ Consolidated Form 1099s when “covered” securities are sold. Covered securities are any regulated investment company and/or dividend reinvestment plan shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012. Each Fund has chosen average cost as it’s standing (default) tax lot identification method for all shareholders. A tax lot identification method is the way each Fund will determine which specific shares are deemed to be sold when there are multiple purchases on different dates at differing net asset values, and the entire position is not sold at one time. Each Fund’s standing tax lot identification method is the method covered shares will be reported on your Consolidated Form 1099 if you do not select a specific tax lot identification method. You may choose a method different than each Fund’s standing method and will be able to do so at the time of your purchase or upon the sale of covered shares. Please refer to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service regulations or consult your tax advisor with regard to your personal circumstances.

APPENDIX A

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group—A brief description of the applicable Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) rating symbols and their meanings (as published by S&P) follows:

Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings

 

AAA

An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

 

AA

An obligation rated ‘AA’ differs from the highest rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

 

A

An obligation rated ‘A’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

 

BBB

An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

Obligations rated ‘BB’, ‘B’, ‘CCC’, ‘CC’ and ‘C’ are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. ‘BB’ indicates the least degree of speculation and ‘C’ the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

 

BB

An obligation rated ‘BB’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

B

An obligation rated ‘B’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

CCC

An obligation rated ‘CCC’ is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

CC

An obligation rated ‘CC’ is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

 

62


Table of Contents
C

A ‘C’ rating is assigned to obligations that are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, obligations that have payment arrearages allowed by the terms of the documents, or obligations of an issuer that is the subject of a bankruptcy petition or similar action which have not experienced a payment default. Among others, the ‘C’ rating may be assigned to subordinated debt, preferred stock or other obligations on which cash payments have been suspended in accordance with the instrument’s terms or when preferred stock is the subject of a distressed exchange offer, whereby some or all of the issue is either repurchased for an amount of cash or replaced by other instruments having a total value that is less than par.

 

D

An obligation rated ‘D’ is in payment default. The ‘D’ rating category is used when payments on an obligation, including a regulatory capital instrument, are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The ‘D’ rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized. An obligation’s rating is lowered to ‘D’ upon completion of a distressed exchange offer, whereby some or all of the issue is either repurchased for an amount of cash or replaced by other instruments having a total value that is less than par.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): The ratings from ‘AA’ to ‘CCC’ may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

 

NR

This indicates that no rating has been requested, that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

 

A-1

A short-term obligation rated ‘A-1’ is rated in the highest category by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

 

A-2

A short-term obligation rated ‘A-2’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

 

A-3

A short-term obligation rated ‘A-3’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

B

A short-term obligation rated ‘B’ is regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. Ratings of ‘B-1’, ‘B-2’, and ‘B-3’ may be assigned to indicate finer distinctions within the ‘B’ category. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

63


Table of Contents
B-1

A short-term obligation rated ‘B-1’ is regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, but the obligor has a relatively stronger capacity to meet its financial commitments over the short-term compared to other speculative-grade obligors.

 

B-2

A short-term obligation rated ‘B-2’ is regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, and the obligor has an average speculative-grade capacity to meet its financial commitments over the short-term compared to other speculative-grade obligors.

 

B-3

A short-term obligation rated ‘B-3’ is regarded as having significant speculative characteristics, and the obligor has a relatively weaker capacity to meet its financial commitments over the short-term compared to other speculative-grade obligors.

 

C

A short-term obligation rated ‘C’ is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

D

A short-term obligation rated ‘D’ is in payment default. The ‘D’ rating category is used when payments on an obligation including a regulatory capital instrument, are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The ‘D’ rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.—A brief description of the applicable Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating symbols and their meanings (as published by Moody’s) follows:

Long-Term Corporate Obligation Ratings:

 

Aaa

Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.

 

Aa

Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

 

A

Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

 

Baa

Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

 

Ba

Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk.

 

B

Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

 

Caa

Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

 

Ca

Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

 

64


Table of Contents
C

Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Note: Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

Short-Term Ratings

 

P-1

Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

 

P-2

Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

 

P-3

Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.

 

NP

Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

 

Note:

Canadian Issuers rated P-1 or P-2 have their short-term ratings enhanced by the senior-most long-term rating the issuer, its guarantor or support-provider.

Wasatch Advisors, Inc.

PROXY VOTING POLICY, GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

 

Regulatory Background - Proxy Voting Provisions of the Investment Advisers Act

Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 requires that, for an investment adviser to exercise voting authority with respect to client securities, the adviser must:

 

Adopt and implement written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes client securities in the best interest of clients, which procedures must include how the adviser addresses material conflicts that may arise between the adviser’s interests and those of the adviser’s clients;

 

Disclose to clients how they may obtain information from the adviser about how the adviser voted with respect to their securities; and

 

Describe to clients the adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures and, upon request, furnish a copy of the policies and procedures to the requesting client.

In accordance with our obligations under the Rule, Wasatch Advisors has adopted and implemented the following Proxy Voting Policy, Guidelines and Procedures to ensure that client proxies are voted in the best interest of clients at all times.

 

I.

POLICY OVERVIEW

At Wasatch Advisors (“Wasatch”), our goal is to maximize the economic value of the investments we make for our separate account clients and our mutual fund shareholders. In pursuit of this goal, we buy and hold securities we believe will appreciate in value. When the investment potential of a security becomes diminished, we sell it and attempt to reinvest the proceeds in more attractive opportunities. In short, the primary means by which we serve our shareholders and clients and protect their interests is the purchase and sale of securities. A secondary means by which we fulfill our fiduciary responsibility is the exercising of our proxy voting rights. Corporate governance, including but not limited to, compensation plans, corporate actions and the composition of a board of directors, can have a significant influence upon the behavior of a management team and the value of a corporation. The proxy voting process is the primary means by which investors are able to influence such activities. As such, Wasatch considers how we vote proxies to be an important activity.

One fundamental tenet of Wasatch’s investment philosophy is to invest in companies with high quality management teams. We spend a significant amount of time evaluating the performance, behavior, and actions of company executives in order to gain an understanding of how they think about protecting and increasing shareholder value. As a result of being invested with high quality management teams, Wasatch generally supports the recommendations of the boards of directors when voting proxies. However, we ultimately vote for or against recommendations based on the fundamental premise that at all times we are attempting to maximize the value of our investments for the benefit of our clients. Wasatch also has a long history of investing in companies with small market capitalizations, which often have a significant amount of common stock owned by existing and former members of management. While this high degree of inside ownership could cause some concerns regarding a lack of independence for the board of directors, certain board committees or other areas of corporate governance, we generally believe high inside ownership to be a positive characteristic as it helps to ensure that the interests of management and shareholders are closely aligned.

 

68


Table of Contents

Wasatch has developed the following proxy voting guidelines to assist us in making decisions about how to vote proposals concerning certain issues. We have attempted to address those issues that we believe are most relevant to creating shareholder value or that occur most frequently in the types of securities in which we invest. However, these guidelines are not exhaustive and do not purport to cover all of the potential issues, for the variety of issues on which shareholders may be asked to vote is unlimited. The disclosure of these guidelines is intended to provide clients and shareholders with a better understanding of how Wasatch attempts to maximize shareholder value via the proxy voting process.

 

II.

GUIDELINES

Board of Directors

Wasatch considers the board of directors to be an important component of strong corporate governance. The board is responsible for overseeing the management team of a company and helping to ensure that it acts in the best interest of shareholders. The primary means by which Wasatch can influence the board of directors is to vote for the election of directors who have relevant and valuable experience that will enhance the management of the company. Further, Wasatch prefers that a board of directors have a majority of independent directors because we believe that a board with such a composition is generally a strong advocate for shareholders.

However, while we endorse proposals that support the creation of boards with a majority of independent directors as well as proposals which call for the audit, compensation and nominating committees to be comprised solely of independent directors, the failure of the company to nominate only independent directors or to have only independent directors serve on key committees may not cause us to vote against the election of a director who lacks independence. Wasatch appreciates the importance of these standards but we do not believe it is always in the best interest of shareholders to blindly vote against all directors who may not be considered independent. For example, a large shareholder who serves as a director is not considered independent but may be a very important advocate for investors since his interests are closely aligned with those of shareholders.

Generally, Wasatch will vote for those nominees recommended by the board of directors. However, in each election we will review a wide variety of criteria including but not limited to:

 

Long-term performance of the company.

 

Composition of the board and key committees.

 

Stock ownership by directors.

 

Decisions regarding executive pay and director compensation.

 

Corporate governance provisions and takeover activity.

 

Attendance at board meetings.

 

Interlocking directorships and related party transactions.

In addition to evaluating nominees for the board of directors based on the aforementioned criteria, Wasatch generally will support proposals:

 

To declassify a board of directors.

 

That allow cumulative voting and confidential voting.

Wasatch generally will not support:

 

Nominees who are independent and receive compensation for services other than serving as a director.

 

Nominees who attend less than 75% of board meetings without valid reasons for absences.

 

Nominees who are party to an interlocking directorship.

 

Efforts to adopt classified board structures.

 

69


Table of Contents

Executive Compensation

Wasatch supports compensation plans which are designed to align the interests of management and shareholders as well as relate executive compensation to the performance of the company. To evaluate compensation plans, we use quantitative criteria that measure the total cost to shareholders if a plan is passed. Factors considered include:

 

The estimated dollar cost for every award type under the proposed plan and all continuing plans.

 

The maximum shareholder wealth that would be transferred from the company to executives.

 

Long-term corporate performance (on an absolute basis and relative to a standard industry peer group and an appropriate market index) pegged to market capitalization.

 

Cash compensation pegged to market capitalization.

 

Other features of proposed compensation plans such as administration, payment terms, plan duration, and whether the administering committee is permitted to reprice underwater stock options without shareholder approval.

After the cost of the plan is estimated, it is compared to a company-specific dilution cap. The allowable cap is industry specific, market cap based, and pegged to the average amount paid by companies performing in the top quartile of their peer groupings. If the total plan cost exceeds the allowable cap, Wasatch will generally vote against the proposed plan. In addition, Wasatch generally will not support stock option plans that permit:

 

The repricing of stock options without shareholder approval.

 

The options to be priced at less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying security on the date of the grant.

Capital Structure

Wasatch may be asked to vote on proposals pertaining to changes in the capital structure of a company. Such proposals include, but are not limited to, common stock authorizations, capital issuance requests, share repurchase programs, stock splits, and debt restructurings. We will vote for board recommended capital structure changes so long as the proposals are well aligned with shareholder interests. Wasatch generally will support proposals:

 

Requesting the authorization of additional common stock.

 

To institute share repurchase plans.

 

To implement stock splits. Proposals to implement reverse stock splits will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Wasatch will review, on a case-by-case basis, all other proposals to change the capital structure of a company, including the authorization of common stock with special voting rights, the authorization of stock relating to certain transactions, the issuance of preferred stock (including “blank check” preferred stock) and the restructuring of debt securities. These proposals typically address a set of company-specific circumstances and proposals recommended by the board of directors may or may not be in the best interest of shareholders.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Other Transactions

Companies may undertake a variety of strategic transactions aimed at enhancing shareholder value including mergers, acquisitions, recapitalizations, spin-offs, asset sales, and liquidations. In evaluating proposed transactions, we will consider the benefits and costs to shareholders over both the short and long term. Specific items we will consider include the financial impact of the transaction on future operating results, the increase or decrease in shareholder value, and any changes in corporate governance and their impact on shareholder rights. When shareholders are asked to vote on mergers, acquisitions and other

 

70


Table of Contents

similar proposals, they are considered to be material to the company and could require the analysis of a wide variety of factors in order to determine if the transaction is in the best interest of shareholders. As a result, Wasatch will review and vote each proposal on a case-by-case basis.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

In an attempt to prevent a company from being acquired without the approval of the board of directors, shareholders may be asked to vote on a variety of proposals such as shareholder rights plans (commonly referred to as “poison pills”), supermajority voting, blank check preferred stock, fair price provisions, and the creation of a separate class of stock with disparate voting rights. Wasatch recognizes that such proposals may enhance shareholder value in certain situations. However, Wasatch will review proposals pertaining to anti-takeover provisions on a case-by-case basis and vote against those proposals merely intended to entrench management and prevent the company from being acquired at a fair price.

Auditors

An audit of a company’s financial statements is an important part of the investment process, for while an audit cannot fully protect investors against fraud, it does verify that the financial statements accurately represent the position and performance of the company. Wasatch generally votes for proposals to ratify auditors unless the auditors do not appear to be independent. Auditor independence may be compromised if the auditor has a financial interest and/or association with the company or receives substantial compensation for non-audit related services. Wasatch also generally votes for proposals to authorize the board of directors to determine the remuneration of the auditors unless there is evidence of excessive compensation relative to the size and nature of the company.

Social and Environmental Issues

While Wasatch believes corporations have an obligation to be responsible corporate members of society, generally we will not support proposals concerning social, political or environmental issues if the proposals are economically disadvantageous to shareholders.

Foreign Issuers

With respect to some non-U.S. issuers, the exercise of voting rights can cause an account to incur a cost or cause the underlying shares to be blocked from trading. Although we recognize the importance of the right to vote, Wasatch believes that clients may be better served by avoiding unnecessary costs and preserving the right to trade shares promptly should conditions warrant. Accordingly, there may be times when no vote is cast because Wasatch’s analysis of a particular proxy leads us to believe that the cost of voting the proxy exceeds the expected benefit to clients (e.g., when casting a vote on a foreign security requires that Wasatch engage a translator or travel to a foreign country to vote in person, or results in shares being blocked from trading). This position complies with the Department of Labor’s Interpretive Bulletin 94-2.

Other Issues

Any issues not addressed by the foregoing guidelines will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with the aim of maximizing shareholder value.

 

II.

PROXY VOTING COMMITTEE

Wasatch has established a Proxy Voting Committee (“Committee”) to oversee all aspects of Wasatch’s proxy voting policy, guidelines and procedures. The Committee is responsible for implementing and monitoring this policy. The Committee is responsible for reporting to the Audit Committee as well as providing a written report on a regular basis to the Advisor’s and Fund’s Board of Directors.

 

71


Table of Contents

No less than annually, the Committee shall conduct a periodic review which shall comprise the following elements:

   

Review a sample of the record of voting delegation, including ERISA accounts, maintained by the Proxy Manager to determine if Wasatch is exercising its authority to vote proxies on portfolio securities held in the selected accounts

   

Request and review voting data to determine if accurate and timely communication of proxy votes is reasonably accomplished during the period reviewed

   

Meet with the Proxy Manager to review the voting of proxies, communication of proxy votes, and the general functioning of this policy

   

Prepare a written report to the Audit Committee with respect to the results of this review

 

III.

PROCEDURES

Administration

Wasatch has retained an independent service provider, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), to assist in reconciling and processing proxy ballots and providing record-keeping and vote disclosure services, as well as research on proxy issues.

Wasatch has also designated a member of our Operations team as Proxy Manager to assist in coordinating and voting securities, maintaining documents prepared by Wasatch to memorialize the basis for voting decisions, and monitoring Wasatch’s proxy voting procedures. One of the Proxy Manager’s responsibilities is to periodically send a proxy meeting calendar to research analysts detailing upcoming shareholder meetings and vote deadline information.

The members of Wasatch’s Research team are responsible for reviewing the proxies of the companies they follow, together with other relevant information, and providing the Proxy Manager with vote recommendations in conformance with Wasatch’s Policy and Guidelines.

Any attempts by any of Wasatch’s personnel to influence the voting of client proxies in a manner that is inconsistent with Wasatch’s Policy, Guidelines and Procedures should be reported to Wasatch’s Compliance Officer. If the Compliance Officer is the person attempting to influence the voting, the report should be made to Wasatch’s President.

Conflicts of Interest

As noted previously, Wasatch will at all times make its best effort to vote proxies in the best interest of clients and avoid material conflicts of interest. A material conflict of interest refers to a situation in which Wasatch or affiliated persons of Wasatch have a financial interest in a matter presented by a proxy which could potentially compromise Wasatch’s independence of judgment and action with respect to the voting of the proxy. We will use our best reasonable efforts to identify any material conflicts that may exist by, among other things, reviewing the identity of each issuer soliciting proxy votes to determine if the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer (i) is a client of Wasatch, (ii) has a relationship with Wasatch, (iii) there is a reasonable expectation that the issuer or an affiliate would become a client of Wasatch or develop a material relationship with Wasatch, or (iv) Wasatch holds a significant amount1 of the issuer’s shares outstanding. In addition, any Wasatch employee with knowledge of a personal conflict of interest (e.g., a familial relationship with company management) relating to an issuer soliciting proxy votes must disclose that conflict to the Proxy Manager and the Compliance Officer and remove himself or herself from the

 

 

1 Wasatch’s relative level of ownership of certain issuer’s soliciting proxy votes, as a percent of the company’s shares outstanding, may give the appearance of control. Wasatch clients hold the issuer’s stock solely for investment purposes, with no intent to control the business or affairs of the issuer. In such instances, Wasatch may instruct ISS to vote that meeting in accordance with ISS’ published recommendation.

Table of Contents

proxy voting process for that issuer. Any questions regarding whether a particular issue may present a material conflict of interest with respect to Wasatch’s voting of client proxies should be directed to Wasatch’s Compliance Officer.

In the event that Wasatch has a material conflict of interest in any proposal that is the subject of a proxy to be voted for a client account, Wasatch will instruct ISS to vote that proposal in accordance with ISS’ published recommendation. In such cases, any vote recommended by ISS is binding and may not be overridden by Wasatch. Proposals on the same proxy ballot for which Wasatch does not have a material conflict of interest will be voted in accordance with Wasatch’s Proxy Voting Policy and Guidelines.

Annual Certification

Each Wasatch employee who is involved in the proxy voting process is required to certify annually that he or she has read, understands and has complied with, to the best of his or her knowledge, Wasatch’s Proxy Voting Policy, Guidelines and Procedures.

ERISA

Wasatch acknowledges our responsibility to vote proxies for ERISA clients in a manner that ensures the exclusive benefit for the underlying participants and beneficiaries. Wasatch casts such proxy votes for the sole purpose of extending benefits to participants and beneficiaries while using the care, skill and diligence that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use under the circumstances then prevailing.

Training

At least annually, Compliance will conduct employee training programs for appropriate personnel regarding the Proxy Voting Policy, Guidelines and Procedures. Such training programs will review applicable laws, regulations, procedures and recent trends in proxy voting and their relation to Wasatch’s business. Attendance at these programs is mandatory for appropriate personnel, and session and attendance records will be retained for a five-year period.

Recordkeeping

Under rule 204-2, Wasatch must retain the following:

  a) proxy voting policies and procedures;
  b) proxy statements received regarding client securities;
  c) records of votes they cast on behalf of clients;
  d) any documents prepared by Wasatch that were material to making a decision how to vote, or that memorialized the basis for the decision;
  e) Record of the voting resolution of any conflict of interest;
  f) Records of any client requests for information on how a client’s proxies were voted and records of Wasatch’s responses to client requests;
  g) Training attendance records; and
  h) All written reports arising from annual reviews of the policy.

Item 30.

Indemnification

Under Section 9.2 of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust, no person who is or has been a Trustee, officer, or employee of the Registrant shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any party, including natural persons, corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships, business trusts, limited liability partnerships, statutory trusts, limited liability companies, trusts, associations, joint ventures, estates, nominees and any other entity in its own or any representative capacity, whether or not legal entities, and governments and agencies and political subdivisions thereof, in each case whether domestic or foreign, (“Person”) other than the Registrant or its shareholders, in connection with the affairs of the Registrant; and all Persons shall look solely to the property of the Registrant or of a series for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Registrant or such series.

The Declaration of Trust provides that every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate, share or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever executed or done by or on behalf of the Registrant or the Trustees or any of them in connection with the Registrant shall be conclusively deemed to have been executed or done only in or with respect to their or his capacity as Trustees or Trustee and neither such Trustees or Trustee nor the Registrant’s shareholders shall be personally liable thereon.

The Declaration of Trust provides that all Persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Registrant or a series shall look only to the assets of the property of the Registrant or such series for payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Trustees, nor any of the Registrant’s officers or employees, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor.

The Declaration of Trust provides that no person who is or has been a Trustee, officer or employee of the Registrant shall be liable to the Registrant or to any shareholder for any action or failure to act except for his or her own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties involved in the conduct of the individual’s office, and for nothing else, and shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law.

Furthermore, the Declaration of Trust provides that without limiting the foregoing limitations of liability contained in Section 9.2, a Trustee shall not be responsible for or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, employee, investment adviser, sub-adviser, principal underwriter, custodian or other agent of the Registrant or a series, nor shall any Trustee be responsible or liable for the act or omission of any other Trustee (or for the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust), except in the case of such Trustee’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Table of Contents

Section 9.5 of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust provides that subject to certain exceptions and limitations, every person who is, or has been, a Trustee, officer, or employee of the Registrant, including persons who serve at the request of the Registrant as directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents of another organization in which the Registrant has an interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise, shall be indemnified by the Registrant or applicable series to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been such a Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent and against amounts paid or incurred by him in settlement thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT dated as of March 31, 2010, between Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Fund”), an open-end, management investment company organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, having its principal place of business at 150 Social Hall Avenue, 4th Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 and ALPS Distributors, Inc., a Colorado corporation and a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, having its principal place of business at 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, CO 80203 (the “Distributor”).

WHEREAS, the Fund is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, presently consisting of the portfolios listed in Schedule A, attached hereto;

WHEREAS, the Fund wishes to employ the services of the Distributor in connection with the promotion and distribution of the shares of the Fund (the “Shares”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. Documents - The Fund has furnished or will furnish, upon request, the Distributor with copies of the Fund’s Declaration of Trust, advisory agreement, custodian agreement, transfer agency agreement, administration agreement, current prospectus, and statement of additional information, and all forms relating to any plan, program or service offered by the Fund. The Fund shall furnish, within a reasonable time period, to the Distributor a copy of any amendment or supplement to any of the above-mentioned documents. Upon request, the Fund shall furnish promptly to the Distributor any additional documents necessary or advisable to perform its functions hereunder. As used in this Agreement the terms “registration statement”, “prospectus” and “statement of additional information” shall mean any registration statement, prospectus and statement of additional information filed by the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and any amendments and supplements thereto that are filed with the SEC.

2. Sales of Shares - The Fund grants to the Distributor the right to sell the Shares as agent on behalf of the Fund, during the term of this Agreement, subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and of the laws governing the sale of securities in the various states (“Blue Sky Laws”), under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Distributor shall have the right to sell, as agent on behalf of the Fund, the Shares covered by the registration statement, prospectus and statement of additional information for the Fund then in effect under the 1933 Act and 1940 Act.

3. Sales of Shares by the Fund- The rights granted to the Distributor shall be nonexclusive in that the Fund reserves the right to sell Shares to investors on applications received and accepted by the Fund.


4. Public Offering Price - Except as otherwise noted in the Fund’s current prospectus and/or statement of additional information, all Shares sold to investors by the Distributor or the Fund will be sold at the public offering price. The public offering price for all accepted subscriptions will be the net asset value per Share, as determined in the manner described in the Fund’s current prospectus and/or statement of additional information. The Fund shall in all cases receive the net asset value per Share on all sales. If a fee in connection with shareholder redemptions is in effect, such fee will be paid to the Fund.

5. Suspension of Sales - The Fund reserves the right to suspend sales and the Distributor’s authority to process orders for Shares on behalf of the Fund if, in the judgment of the Fund, it is in the best interests of the Fund to do so. Suspension will continue for such period as may be determined by the Fund.

6. Solicitation of Sales - In consideration of these rights granted to the Distributor, the Distributor agrees to use its best efforts to solicit orders for the sale of the Shares at the public offering price and will undertake such advertising and promotion as it believes is reasonable in connection with such solicitation. The Distributor shall review and file such materials with the SEC and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to the extent required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and by the rules of FINRA. This shall not prevent the Distributor from entering into like arrangements (including arrangements involving the payment of underwriting commissions) with other issuers. The Distributor will act only on its own behalf as principal should it choose to enter into selling agreements with selected dealers or others.

7. Authorized Representations - The Distributor is not authorized by the Fund to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in the registration statement or prospectus and statement of additional information, or contained in shareholder reports or other material that may be prepared by or on behalf of the Fund for the Distributor’s use. Consistent with the foregoing, the Distributor may prepare and distribute sales literature or other material as it may deem appropriate in consultation with the Fund, provided such sales literature complies with applicable law and regulations.

8. Registration of Shares - The Fund agrees that it will take all action necessary to register the Shares under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act (subject to the necessary approval of its shareholders). The Fund shall make available to the Distributor, at the Distributor’s expense, such number of copies of its prospectus and statement of additional information as the Distributor may reasonably request. The Fund shall furnish to the Distributor copies of all information, financial statements and other papers, which the Distributor may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of Shares of the Fund.

9. Fund Expenses - Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties hereto in writing, the Distributor shall not be responsible for fees and expenses in connection with (a) filing of any registration statement, printing and the distribution of any prospectus and statement of additional information under the 1933 Act and/or the 1940 Act and amendments prepared for use in connection with the offering of Shares for sale to the public, preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing the prospectus, statement of additional information and any supplements thereto sent


to existing shareholders, (b) preparing, setting in type, printing and mailing any report (including annual and semi-annual reports) or other communication to shareholders of the Fund, and (c) the Blue Sky registration and qualification of Shares for sale in the various states in which the officers of the Fund shall determine it advisable to qualify such Shares for sale (including registering the Fund as a broker or dealer or any officer of the Fund as agent or salesman in any state).

10. Use of the Distributor’s Name - The Fund shall not use the name of the Distributor, or any of its affiliates, in any prospectus or statement of additional information, sales literature, and other material relating to the Fund in any manner without the prior written consent of the Distributor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Distributor hereby approves all lawful uses of the names of the Distributor and its affiliates in the prospectus and statement of additional information of the Fund and in all other materials which merely refer to accurate terms to their appointment hereunder or which are required by the SEC, FINRA, OCC or any state securities authority.

11. Use of the Fund’s Name - Neither the Distributor nor any of its affiliates shall use the name of the Fund in any publicly disseminated materials, including sales literature in any manner without the prior consent of the Fund (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Fund hereby approves all lawful uses of its name in any required regulatory filings of the Distributor which merely refer in accurate terms to the appointment of the Distributor hereunder, or which are required by the SEC, FINRA, OCC or any state securities authority.

12. Insurance - The Distributor agrees to maintain fidelity bond and liability insurance coverages which are, in scope and amount, consistent with coverages customary for distribution activities relating to the Fund. The Distributor shall notify the Fund upon receipt of any notice of material, adverse change in the terms or provisions of its insurance coverage. Such notification shall include the date of change and the reason or reasons therefor. The Distributor shall notify the Fund of any material claims against it, whether or not covered by insurance, and shall notify the Fund from time to time as may be appropriate of the total outstanding claims made by it under its insurance coverage.

13. Indemnification - The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expenses (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any Shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Fund (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act or any other statute or the common law. However, the Fund does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case (i) is the


indemnity of the Fund in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Fund or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Fund to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in the paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Distributor or any person indemnified unless the Distributor or person, as the case may be, shall have notified the Fund in writing of the claim promptly after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claims shall have been served upon the Distributor or any such person (or after the Distributor or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Fund of any claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. The Fund shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims, and if the Fund elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Fund. In the event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Distributor, officers or directors or controlling person(s), defendant(s) in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Fund does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Distributor, officers or directors or controlling person(s) or defendant(s) in the suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Fund agrees to notify the Distributor promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it or any of its officers in connection with the issuance or sale of any of the Shares.

The Distributor also covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each of its officers and person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages, claims or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any Shares, based upon the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act or any other statute or common law, alleging (a) any wrongful act of the Distributor or any of its employees or (b) that any sales literature, advertisements, information, statements or representations used or made by the Distributor or any of its affiliates or employees or that the registration statement, prospectus, statement of additional information, (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading, insofar as the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Fund by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Distributor in favor of the Fund or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Fund or any person against any liability to which the Fund or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, or (ii) is the Distributor to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph with respect to any claim made against the Fund or any person indemnified unless the Fund or person, as the case may be, shall have notified the Distributor in writing of the claim promptly after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Fund or any such


person (or after the Fund or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Distributor of any claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which it may have to the Fund or any person against whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph. In the case of any notice to the Distributor it shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim, and if the Distributor elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Fund, to its officers and to any controlling person(s) or defendant(s) in the suit. In the event that the Distributor elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Fund or controlling person(s), defendant(s) in the suit, shall bear the fees and expense of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Distributor does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the Fund, officers or controlling person(s), defendant(s) in the suit, for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The Distributor agrees to notify the Fund promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the Fund and sale of any of the Shares.

14. Supplemental Information - The Distributor and the Fund shall regularly consult with each other regarding the Distributor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Fund shall submit to the Distributor at a reasonable time in advance of filing with the SEC reasonably final copies of any amended or supplemented registration statement (including exhibits) under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit the Fund’s right to file at any time such amendments to any registration statement and/or supplements to any prospectus or statement of additional information, of whatever character, as the Fund may deem advisable, such right being in all respects absolute and unconditional.

The Distributor acknowledges that the only information provided to it by the Fund is that contained in the registration statement, the prospectus, the statement of additional information and reports and financial information referred to herein. Neither the Distributor nor any other person is authorized by the Fund to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in such documents and any sales literature or advertisements specifically approved by appropriate representatives of the Fund.

15. Term - This Agreement shall become effective as of the date set forth above, and shall continue until one year from such date and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Fund’s Board of Trustees or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the relevant Series of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act), provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by the majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to this Agreement by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. This Agreement is terminable without penalty on sixty days’ written notice by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the relevant Series of the Fund or by the Distributor. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).


Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Distributor, at the Fund’s expense and direction, shall transfer to such successor as the Fund shall specify all relevant books, records and other data established or maintained by the Distributor under this Agreement.

16. Anti-Money Laundering - The Distributor agrees to maintain an anti-money laundering program in compliance with Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”) and all applicable laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Distributor confirms that, as soon as possible, following the request from the Fund, the Distributor will supply the Fund with copies of the Distributor’s anti-money laundering policy and procedures, and such other relevant certifications and representations regarding such policy and procedures as the Fund may reasonably request from time to time.

17. Notice - Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by (i) telecopier (fax) or (ii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice to the other party at the last address furnished by the other party to the party giving notice: if to the Fund at 150 Social Hall Avenue, 4th Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, Attn: Director of Compliance with a copy to Legal Counsel: Chapman & Cutler, 11 West Monroe Street, Chicago, IL 60603, Attn: Eric Fess ; and if to the Distributor, at 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado, 80203, Attn: General Counsel, or such other telecopier (fax) number or address as may be furnished by one party to the other.

18. Confidential Information - The Distributor, its officers, directors, employees and agents will treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Fund all records and other information relative to the Fund and to prior or present shareholders or to those persons or entities who respond to the Distributor’s inquiries concerning investment in the Fund, and will not use such records and information for any purposes other than performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder. If the Distributor is requested or required by, but not limited to, depositions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or other action, proceeding or process or as otherwise required by law, statute, regulation, writ, decree or the like to disclose such information, the Distributor will provide the Fund with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Fund may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this provision. If such order or other remedy is not sought, or obtained, or waiver not received within a reasonable period following such notice, then the Distributor may without liability hereunder, disclose to the person, entity or agency requesting or requiring the information, that portion of the information that is legally required in the reasonable opinion of the Distributor’s counsel.

19. Limitation of Liability - The Distributor agrees that the obligations assumed by the Fund under this contract shall be limited in all cases to the Fund and its assets. The Distributor agrees that it shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders or any individual shareholder of the Fund. Nor shall the Distributor seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the Trustees, officers or any individual Director or officer of the Fund. The Distributor understands that the rights and obligations of each Series of the Fund under the Fund’s Declaration of Trust are separate and distinct from those of any and all other Series.


All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the Fund’s Declaration of Trust and all amendments thereto, a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of shareholder and Fund liability contained therein. This Agreement is executed on behalf of the Fund by a Fund’s officer as an officer and not individually and the obligations imposed upon the Fund by this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Fund’s Trustees, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the applicable portfolio of the Fund, and persons dealing with the Fund must look solely to the assets and property of the subject portfolio for the enforcement of any claims.

20. Miscellaneous - Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This Agreement may not be changed, waived, discharged or amended except by written instrument that shall make specific reference to this Agreement and which shall be signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or amendment is sought. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

All activities by the Distributor and its agents and employees as distributor of the Shares shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, all rules and regulations made or adopted by the SEC or any securities association registered under the Exchange Act.

The Distributor will promptly transmit any orders received by it for purchase, redemption or exchange of the Shares to the Fund’s transfer agent.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund has executed this instrument in its name and behalf, and the Distributor has executed this instrument in its name and behalf, as of the date and year first above written.

1.3 Duration of Class Operating Expense Limit. The Class Operating Expense Limit with respect to each class of each Fund shall remain in effect until January 31, 2013, unless renewed by written agreement of the parties.

To determine the Advisor’s obligation with respect to the Excess Amount for each class of each Fund, each day the Class Operating Expenses for the class shall be annualized. If the annualized Class Operating Expenses for any day of a class exceed the Class Operating Expense Limit of the class, the Advisor shall waive or reduce its investment advisory fee or absorb the other class expenses in an amount sufficient to pay that day’s Excess Amount. The Trust may offset amounts owed to a class pursuant to this Agreement against the advisory fee payable to the Advisor. If on any day the annualized Class Operating Expenses for a class are less than the applicable Class Operating Expense Limit and the Advisor has for a previous day or days during the current fiscal year reimbursed the class for Excess Amounts, then, to the extent the class’s Class Operating Expense Limit for the current day exceeds the actual Class Operating Expenses for that day, the Advisor may recoup from the previous Excess Amounts reimbursed to the class.

WASATCH FUNDS TRUST

Multiple Class Plan Pursuant to Rule 18f-3

 

I.

Introduction

This Multiple Class Plan (the “Plan”) has been adopted by a majority of the Board of Trustees of Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on behalf of each series of the Trust (each a “Fund”) listed on Exhibit A, as amended from time to time.

Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act requires that the board of an investment company desiring to offer multiple classes of shares pursuant to Rule 18f-3 adopt a plan setting forth the differences among the classes with respect to shareholder services, distribution arrangements, expense allocations and any related conversion features or exchange privileges. The Plan provides a detailed statement of the differences between the Fund’s two classes of shares.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the non-interested Trustees, has determined that the Plan, including the allocation of expenses, is in the best interests of the Trust as a whole, each Fund, and each class of shares offered by a Fund. The Board approved the Plan on behalf of each Fund effective as of the date set forth on Exhibit A. This Plan is subject to change, to the extent permitted by law and by the Declaration of Trust and Trust By-Laws, by action of the Trustees of the Trust in the manner provided for initial approval hereof.

 

II.

Elements of the Plan

1. Class Designation. The shares of each Fund shall be divided into two classes, designated as Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares. The existing shares of each Fund are to be re-designated as Investor Class shares.

2. Class Differences. Each class of shares of a Fund shall represent interests in the same portfolio of investments of that Fund and, except as otherwise set forth in this Plan, shall differ solely with respect to: (i) distribution, service and other charges and expenses as provided for in Section 3 of this Plan; (ii) the exclusive right of each class of shares to vote on matters submitted to shareholders that relate solely to that class or for which the interests of one class differ from the interests of another class or classes; (iii) such differences relating to eligible investors and shareholder services as may be set forth in the prospectus and statement of additional information for each Fund, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (each a “Prospectus” and “SAI” and collectively, the “Prospectus “ and “SAI”); (iv) the designation of each class of shares; and (v) conversion features.

3. Distribution and Service Arrangements. Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares of each Fund shall differ in terms of eligibility for purchase as follows:

 

1


(a) Both share classes:

 

 

(i)

shall be sold at net asset value with no front-end sales charge;

 

 

(ii)

shall not be subject to any service fee pursuant to any plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act;

 

 

(iii)

shall not be subject to any distribution fee pursuant to any plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act;

 

 

(iv)

may reimburse the Funds’ Advisor, Distributor, or other parties for shareholder servicing or sub-transfer agency services, in amounts calculated in a manner approved from time to time by the Board of Trustees, as described in the registration statement of the Funds as from time to time in effect.

(b) Investor Class Shares shall be offered with account minimums and with subsequent minimum investment amounts, if any, as described in the Funds’ registration statement as from time to time in effect.

(c) Institutional Class Shares shall be offered with an account minimum of $500,000 per Fund, with subsequent minimum investment amounts, if any, as described in the Funds’ registration statement from time to time in effect.

4. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

(a) The daily investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses, of a Fund will be allocated to each class of shares based on each class’ relative percentage of the total value of shares outstanding of the Funds at the beginning of the day, after such net assets are adjusted for the prior day’s capital share transactions.

(b) Expenses that are attributable to a Fund, not a particular class thereof (“Fund Level Expenses”), will be allocated to each class of shares based on each class’ relative percentage of total value of shares outstanding of the Fund at the beginning of the day, after such net assets are adjusted for the prior day’s capital share transactions. Fund Level Expenses include fees for services that are received equally by the classes under the same fee arrangement. All expenses attributable to a Fund that are not “Class Level Expenses” (as defined below) shall be Fund level expenses, including, but not limited to, transfer agency fees and expenses, share registration expenses, and shareholder reporting expenses.

(c) Expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class of shares will be incurred by that class of shares (“Class Level Expenses”). Class Level Expenses include expenses unique to a class of shares in either form or amount. Class Level Expenses shall include, but not be limited to, service and distribution fees paid pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, expenses associated with the addition of share classes to a Trust (to the extent that the expenses were not fully accrued prior to the issuance of the new classes of shares), expenses of administrative personnel and services required to support shareholders of a specific class, litigation or other legal expenses relating to a specific class of shares, trustees’ fees or

 

2


expenses incurred as a result of issues relating to a specific class of shares, and accounting expenses relating to a specific class of shares.

(d) On a daily basis, if the Fund Level Expenses and the Class Level Expenses (not including any Rule 12b-1 plan payments or other exceptions set forth in the applicable expense limitation agreement) exceed the daily expense cap for the Fund, an appropriate waiver/reimbursement will be made to the Fund pursuant to any expense reimbursement agreement in affect at the time. The amount of such reimbursement to each class will be in an amount such that the expenses of the class with the highest expense ratio (excluding service and distribution fees made pursuant to any Rule 12b-1 plan of distribution and other exceptions set forth in the applicable expense limitation agreement) will be equal to the daily expense cap after reimbursement. The expense reimbursement will be allocated to each class of shares based on each class’ relative percentage of the total value of shares outstanding of the Fund at the beginning of the day, after such net assets are adjusted for the prior day’s capital share transactions.

5. Dividends and Distributions. The Funds pay out as dividends net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains as described in their registration statement as from time to time in effect. All dividends and/or distributions will be automatically applied to purchase additional shares of the Fund at the share price on the payable date unless a shareholder has elected to have distributions paid in cash in the manner set forth in the Funds’ registration statement as from time to time in effect.

6. Redemption Fees. The Funds may impose a redemption fee on redemptions and/or exchanges of a Fund’s Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares as set forth in the Prospectus and SAI, as updated from time to time.

7. Conversion Features. There shall be no automatic conversion feature for either share class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of the Institutional Class held by any shareholder who is no longer eligible to hold such shares may be converted, at the discretion of the Board or any authorized Fund officer, to shares of a class in which the shareholder is eligible on the basis of the relative net asset values of the purchase class and the target class without the imposition of any sales load, fee or other charge, subject to prior notice.

8. Exchange Privileges. Shares of a class of a Fund may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of another Fund, except as otherwise set forth in the Prospectus and SAI. Shares of a class held by any shareholder who is eligible to hold shares of another class may be exchanged for such other class upon shareholder request on the basis of the relative net asset values of the purchase class and the target class, subject to any applicable redemption fee as set forth in the Prospectus and SAI, as updated from time to time.

9. Voting and Other Rights. Each class shall have: (a) exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to its arrangements; (b) separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one class

 

3


differ from the interests of the other class; and (c) except for the differences described herein, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as each other class.

10. Term & Termination.

(a) This Plan shall become effective with respect to each Fund on the date listed on Exhibit A, and shall continue in effect with respect to such Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares of each Fund until terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(c) hereof.

(b) This Plan shall become effective with respect to any class of shares of a Fund other than Investor Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares and with respect to each additional Fund or class thereof established by the Trust after the date hereof and made subject to this Plan upon commencement of the initial public offering thereof (provided that the Plan has previously been approved with respect to such additional Fund or class by votes of a majority of both (i) the members of the Board of Trustees, as a whole, and (ii) the non-interested Trustees, cast at a meeting held before the initial public offering of such additional Fund or classes thereof), and shall continue in effect with respect to each such additional Fund until terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(c) hereof. An addendum setting forth such specific and different terms of such additional series or classes shall be attached or and made a part of this Plan.

(c) This Plan may be terminated at any time with respect to any Fund or class thereof, as the case may be, by vote of a majority of both the members of the Board as a whole, and the non-interested Trustees. The Plan may remain in effect with respect to a particular Fund or class thereof even if it has been terminated in accordance with this Section 10(c) with respect to any other Fund or class.

11. Subsequent Funds. The terms and conditions of this Plan are intended to cover any Fund established subsequent to the effective date of this Plan for which Wasatch Advisors, Inc. acts as investment adviser, provided that the Board, including the non-interested Trustees, after having been furnished and having evaluated information reasonably necessary to evaluate the Plan, determine in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment that the Plan is in the best interests of each class of each Fund and the Fund and the Trust as a whole.

12. Amendments. Except as set forth below, any material amendment to this Plan affecting the Trust or Fund or class thereof shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the non-interested Trustees that the amendment is in the best interests of each class of the Trust individually and each Fund as a whole.

EX-99.P.1 7 d257102dex99p1.htm CODE OF ETHICS OF WASATCH ADVISORS, INC. AND THE REGISTRANT Code of Ethics of Wasatch Advisors, Inc. and the Registrant

WASATCH ADVISORS, INC.

WASATCH FUNDS TRUST

CODE OF ETHICS

 

 

I. BACKGROUND

This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) has been adopted by Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (“Wasatch” or the “Advisor”) and Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Funds”) to comply with Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

II. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

As a fiduciary to our clients, Wasatch Advisors strives to act in the best interest of our clients and Fund shareholders and to place their interests ahead of our own. We believe over the long run Wasatch’s interests will be best served by this philosophy. This Code of Ethics is based on concepts of fiduciary duty, securities laws, and internal policies adopted by Wasatch. It is intended to promote the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct. In addition to the specific requirements of the Code, Wasatch’s supervised persons1 are required to comply with all applicable federal securities laws. Such laws include laws regulating privacy, anti-money laundering, insider trading, offerings and sales of securities, and fraud. If you have a question regarding such laws, please consult with the Compliance department.

Section IV of the Code deals with personal securities trading by Wasatch’s supervised persons. The general fiduciary principles that govern personal investment activities are: (1) the duty at all times to place the interests of clients/shareholders first; (2) the requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in such a manner as to be consistent with the Code and to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of a supervised person’s position of trust and responsibility; and (3) the principle that the Advisor’s personnel should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions.

Wasatch recognizes that independence in the investment decision-making process is vital. Causing a portfolio to take action or to fail to take action for the purpose of achieving a personal benefit rather than to benefit the portfolio is a violation of this Code. Research personnel have an affirmative duty to bring suitable securities to the attention of those making investment decisions. Consequently, the failure to recommend or buy a suitable security for a client or Fund in order to avoid the appearance of conflict from a personal transaction in that security will be considered a violation.

This Code of Ethics is not intended to deal with every possible situation supervised persons may encounter. If a situation arises that is not covered in the Code, or if a supervised person is

 

1  Wasatch’s supervised persons are our officers, directors and employees, as well as any other persons who provide advice on behalf of Wasatch and are subject to Wasatch’s supervision and control.

 

1 of 15


uncertain about any aspect of the Code, he/she is asked to consult with the Compliance department.

III. PROTECTION OF MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION

Wasatch has adopted an Insider Trading Policy pursuant to Section 204A of the Advisers Act. Section 204A requires that investment advisers establish, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed, taking into consideration the nature of the adviser’s business, to prevent the misuse of material, non-public information (“inside information”) by the adviser or any person associated with the adviser.

Key components of Wasatch’s Insider Trading Policy include:

 

  1. training supervised persons to be sensitive to what constitutes inside information and to avoid unintentionally being a recipient of inside information;

 

  2. in the event a supervised person believes he/she may have received inside information, assisting him/her in determining whether the information is in fact inside information and if so, taking the necessary steps to prohibit the use of the inside information including, but not limited to, implementing an information barrier or restricting trading in the security and placing the security on the Restricted Securities List;

 

  3. monitoring trading in client accounts and personal trading by supervised persons; and

 

  4. imposing sanctions on any violators of the policy.

Wasatch recognizes that information about our securities recommendations and client securities holdings and transactions may constitute material nonpublic information. In view of Wasatch’s desire to protect separate account clients and mutual fund shareholders, as well as safeguard our investment research and performance, Wasatch has adopted a policy and procedures to govern the release of information about portfolio holdings.

IV. PERSONAL SECURITIES TRADING

The Code of Ethics requires Wasatch’s Access Persons to conduct any personal securities trading activities in compliance with the provisions of the Code and to periodically report their personal securities transactions and holdings to Wasatch’s Compliance department, which is required to review those reports.

Access Persons must submit holdings and transaction reports for Reportable Securities in which the Access Person has, or acquires, any direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership.

 

  A. Definitions

Access Person means any of Wasatch’s supervised persons:

 

2 of 15


  1. who has access to nonpublic information regarding any client’s or Fund’s purchase or sale of securities2 or nonpublic information regarding the portfolio holdings of any client or Fund, or

 

  2. who is involved in making securities recommendations to clients or Funds, or who has access to such recommendations that are nonpublic.

Wasatch considers our directors, officers and employees, as well as interns and independent contractors providing research services to Wasatch, to be Access Persons of the Advisor and the Funds.3

In addition, all of the Funds’ directors and officers are presumed to be Access Persons of the Funds. (However, see C.3 of this section, Exceptions from Reporting Requirements, for a discussion of the reporting requirements for a director of the Funds who is not an “interested person” of the Funds.)

Reportable Security means any stock, bond, future, investment contract or any other instrument that is considered a “security” as defined in section 202(a)(18) of the Advisers Act or section 2(a)(36) of the Investment Company Act. The term “reportable security” is very broad and includes items one might not ordinarily think of as a “security.” The list of such items includes, but is not limited to:

 

  1. options on securities, indexes and currencies;

 

  2. closed-end and exchange-traded funds;

 

  3. unit investment trusts;

 

  4. interests in private and public corporations;

 

  5. foreign unit trusts and foreign mutual funds; and

 

  6. private investment funds, hedge funds, and investment clubs.

Reportable securities do not include:

 

  1. direct obligations of the Government of the United States;

 

  2. bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; and

 

  3. shares issued by open-end mutual funds (including money market funds) except that shares of Wasatch Funds are reportable securities.

Beneficial ownership is interpreted in the same manner as it would be under Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in determining whether a person has beneficial ownership of a security for purposes of Section 16 of that Act. A beneficial owner is defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement,

 

2  Purchase or sale of a security includes, among other things, the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security.
3  This means that supervised persons who would be considered to be Advisory Persons as defined in Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act are Access Persons.

 

3 of 15


understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in securities. A pecuniary interest in securities means the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in those securities. A person is presumed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in securities held by members of a person’s immediate family (including any relative by blood or marriage) sharing the same household. Any required report may contain a disclaimer of beneficial ownership by the person making the report.

 

  B. Personal Trading Procedures

1. Pre-clearance — Access Persons, with the exception of the Funds’ independent directors, are required to obtain written pre-clearance from Wasatch’s Approval Committee4 for each personal transaction in Reportable Securities, unless such a transaction is specifically exempted from pre-clearance in Section 2 below. Requests for pre-clearance should be e-mailed to “approval.”

 

  (a) Micro and Small-Cap Stocks. Approval generally will not be given for the purchase or sale of any security (including but not limited to common stock, options and debt) of any issuer with a market capitalization at the time of the request below $5 Billion whose securities are owned or being considered for purchase in any account managed by the Advisor (collectively termed “Small-Cap stocks”). In the rare instances where pre-clearance may be given for a Small-Cap stock, the Committee may consider such factors as the number of shares and dollar value of the transaction, the trading volume of the security in question, the recent and anticipated trading activity in the security by clients/Funds, the length of time the individual has held or expects to hold the security, and the individual’s motive for purchasing or selling the security. Pre-clearance in Small-Cap stocks will generally last for five trading days if the security is not owned by Wasatch clients/Funds, but will generally be for one trading day if the security is owned by Wasatch clients/Funds. Access Persons will be denied pre-clearance for a transaction when a Wasatch client/Fund has a pending buy or sell order in that same security until that order is executed or withdrawn.

 

  (b) Mid and Large-Cap Stocks. Approval generally will be given for the purchase or sale of any security of any issuer with a market capitalization at the time of the request above $5 Billion (collectively termed “Large-Cap stocks”). Pre-clearance in Large Cap stocks will generally last for five trading days if the security is not owned by Wasatch clients/Funds, but will generally be for one trading day if the security is owned by Wasatch clients/Funds. Access Persons will be denied pre-clearance for a transaction when a Wasatch client/Fund has a pending buy or sell order in that same security until that order is executed or withdrawn.

 

4  The “Approval Committee” is comprised of the portfolio managers of the Advisor; e-mails directed to the Approval Committee are copied to the Advisor’s Compliance department.

 

4 of 15


  (c) Private Stocks/Limited Offerings5. Due to the unique nature of private securities and limited offerings, the Approval Committee will seek approval from the members of the Research department responsible for reviewing private securities for Wasatch accounts and funds before granting pre-clearance approval for a private transaction. When considering granting pre-clearance for an acquisition by an Access Person of securities in a limited offering or private placement, the Approval Committee will take into account, among other factors, whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for clients/Funds and whether the opportunity is being offered to an individual by virtue of his position with the Advisor/Fund. Access Persons who have been pre-cleared to acquire securities in a limited offering or private placement are required to disclose that investment when they play a part in any subsequent consideration of clients’/Funds’ investment in the issuer. In such circumstances, the decision to purchase securities of the issuer should be subject to an independent review by research personnel with no personal interest in the issuer. In each instance, the Advisor’s Compliance department shall maintain documentation as to the reason why the Approval Committee approved an Access Person’s investment in a limited offering or private placement. Access Persons may receive pre-clearance to commit to acquire securities in a limited offering and will not be required to receive additional pre-clearance at the time when those investment commitments are “called” by the private company.

2. Exceptions from Pre-clearance Requirements

Note: The following are exceptions from pre-clearance requirements ONLY; see Section C for reporting requirements and exceptions from reporting requirements.

With respect to the Reportable Securities listed in item 1 above that require pre-clearance, Access Persons are not required to pre-clear:

 

  (a) purchases or sales of securities in accounts over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control;

 

  (b) purchases or sales of securities pursuant to an automatic investment plan6;

 

  (c) transactions in Wasatch Funds;

 

  (d) transactions in foreign government securities in the developed countries listed in the Funds’ prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”);

 

  (e) transactions in futures and options on currencies or on a broad-based securities index;

 

  (f) transactions in an exchange-traded fund;

 

5  Limited offering means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to various sections.
6  An automatic investment plan means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An automatic investment plan includes a dividend reinvestment plan.

 

5 of 15


  (g) transactions in closed-end funds;

 

  (h) transactions in municipal bonds;

 

  (i) transactions in non-U.S. open-end funds;

 

  (j) purchases effected upon exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuers, and sales of such rights so acquired;

 

  (k) acquisition of securities through stock dividends, dividend reinvestments, stock splits, reverse stock splits, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, and other similar corporate reorganizations or distributions generally applicable to all holders of the same class of securities; and

 

  (l) other non-volitional events, such as assignment of options or exercise of an option at expiration.

With respect to accounts over which an Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control, the Access Person will be required to:

 

  (a) provide appropriate account documentation, for example, the investment management agreement, to the Compliance department for review;

 

  (b) certify in writing that neither he/she nor any member of his/her immediate household has direct or indirect influence or control over the account; and

 

  (c) if the Access Person is a member of the Research department, certify in writing that he/she will not recommend or fail to recommend trades for Wasatch clients/Funds in order to benefit personally.

3. Restrictions

 

  (a) Initial Public Offerings – Access Persons are prohibited from acquiring any securities in an initial public offering (“IPO”) in order to preclude any possibility of their profiting improperly from their positions on behalf of the Advisor or the Funds.

 

  (b) Short-term Trading Profits – Wasatch discourages Access Persons from profiting from the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the same (or equivalent) securities, including Wasatch Funds, within a two-month period. Access Persons will be assessed redemption fees on sales of shares of Wasatch Funds held two months or less. Wasatch’s Compliance department monitors trading in Wasatch Funds to detect possible instances of frequent trading or market timing by Access Persons. If any potential abuses are identified, Wasatch may adopt a ban on short-term trading and require disgorgement of profits realized on short-term trades.

Access Persons are required to submit to the Compliance department a report of the Access Person’s current securities holdings that contains, at a minimum:

  (a) Content of transaction reports

Access Persons are required to submit quarterly transaction reports to the Compliance department. With respect to any transaction during the quarter involving a Reportable Security in which the Access Person had, or as a result of the transaction acquired, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership, the report must contain, at a minimum, the following information:

 

7 of 15


  (i) the date of the transaction, the title, and as applicable the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number, interest rate and maturity date, number of shares, and principal amount of each reportable security involved;

 

  (ii) the nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or any other type of acquisition or disposition including donation or transfer);

 

  (iii) the price of the security at which the transaction was effected;

 

  (iv) the name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through which the transaction was effected;

 

  (v) a pre-clearance memo for each transaction indicating approval by the Advisor’s Approval Committee; and

 

  (vi) the date the Access Person submits the report.

With respect to any account established by the Access Person in which any securities were held during the quarter for the direct or indirect benefit of the Access Person:

 

  (i) the name of the broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person established the account;

 

  (ii) the date the account was established; and

 

  (iii) the date that the report is submitted by the Access Person.

 

  (b) Timing of transaction reports

Each Access Person must submit a transaction report no later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, which report must cover, at a minimum, all transactions during the quarter.

 

  3. Exceptions from Reporting Requirements

Access Persons are not required to:

 

  (a) submit any report with respect to transactions effected for and securities held in accounts over which the Access Person had no direct or indirect influence or control;

 

  (b) list any transactions on a quarterly transaction report effected pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan;

 

  (c) list any transactions on a quarterly transaction report effected in Wasatch’s employee retirement plan since the Compliance department receives a report of all such transactions no later than 30 days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter;

 

  (d) list any transactions on a quarterly transaction report that would duplicate information contained in broker trade confirmations or account statements that Wasatch holds in our records so long as the Access Person has confirmed that Wasatch has received the confirmations or statements no later than 30 days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter; or

 

8 of 15


  (e) list any transactions on a quarterly transaction report in Wasatch Funds’ accounts held at UMB Fund Services (the Funds’ transfer agent) and disclosed on the Access Person’s most recent Holdings Report or quarterly transaction reports submitted since the last Holdings Report, since this information is contained in the records of the Funds and provided to the Compliance department no later than 30 days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter.

Notwithstanding the reporting provisions of items 1 and 2 above, a director of the Funds who is not an “interested person” of the Funds within the meaning of section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, and who would be required to make a report solely by reason of being a Fund director, need not:

 

  (a) make an initial holdings report and an annual holdings report; and

 

  (b) on his/her quarterly transaction report, list transactions in Reportable Securities unless the director knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his/her official duties as a Fund director, should have known that during the 15-day period immediately before or after the director’s transaction in a Reportable Security, the Fund purchased or sold the Reportable Security, or the Fund or its investment adviser considered purchasing or selling the Reportable Security.

 

  D. Monitoring

All personal securities holdings and transaction reports are required to be filed with and reviewed by Wasatch’s Compliance department. Review of the reports includes an assessment of whether the Access Person followed all required internal procedures, such as pre-clearance, a comparison of the personal trading to any restricted lists, and an analysis of the Access Person’s trading for patterns that may indicate abuse, including market timing.

All reports shall be kept confidential except as disclosure thereof to the Advisor’s or Fund’s Board of Directors, regulators or other appropriate persons may be reasonable and necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Code.

V. GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

 

  A. Policy Statement

It is considered unethical conduct for a supervised person to accept, or for any supervised person to give to a Wasatch client or potential client, anything of material value outside the guidelines identified within this policy and its procedures. Supervised persons who maintain licenses with a broker-dealer (for example, Wasatch Funds’ distributor) are also responsible to the broker-dealer’s policy and procedures regarding gifts and entertainment.

 

9 of 15


  B. Procedures

Supervised persons are generally prohibited from giving gifts to Wasatch clients or potential clients, or receiving gifts from contacts obtained through their employment, except as provided below:

 

  1. Small Gifts Under $100 and Promotional Items of Nominal Value

 

  (a) Supervised persons may give and receive small gifts that do not exceed $100 per person annually, including holiday gifts.

 

  (b) A gift sent to be shared by a department could exceed $100 as long as it does not exceed $100 per person.

 

  (c) This rule does not apply to promotional items of nominal value that display a Wasatch logo. “Nominal value” should be less than $50.

 

  2. Personal Gifts

 

  (a) Personal gifts given or received by individual Wasatch employees, such as wedding or congratulatory gifts, are not covered by these rules.

 

  3. Customary Entertainment Meeting Certain Conditions

 

  (a) A supervised person may treat a client to an occasional meal, a ticket to a sporting event or the theatre, or comparable entertainment, which is not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety, if the supervised person will be in attendance. These occasional gifts given when a supervised person is in attendance will not count toward the $100 per person annual limit described above.

 

  (b) If the supervised person does not attend the event with the client, it will be considered a gift subject to the $100 limit

 

  4. Client Training Conferences Meeting Certain Conditions

 

  (a) If Wasatch holds meetings for the purpose of client training, Wasatch may pay or reimburse expenses incurred in connection with the meetings provided the following conditions are met:

 

  (i) the meeting must be for a legitimate business purpose which should be reflected in a written agenda;

 

  (ii) the location of the meeting must be appropriate to the purpose of the meeting;

 

  (iii) the expenses of a spouse/guest may not be paid or reimbursed;

 

10 of 15


  (iv) the payment or reimbursement may not be preconditioned by Wasatch on the achievement of a sales target or other non-cash compensation;

 

  (v) meeting attendees, including NASD registered representatives, are responsible for ensuring that their participation is in compliance with their respective firm’s guidelines; and

 

  (vi) the record keeping requirements must be satisfied.

 

  (b) Training conferences may not include golf, skiing, snowmobiling or other entertainment unless the participants pay for these activities themselves.

 

  (c) The entertainment exception cannot be combined with the training conference exception.

 

  5. The Solicitation of a Gift is Prohibited

No supervised person may request a gift of any value from a contact obtained through their employment.

 

  6. Gift Receiving

No supervised person may receive any gift, service, or other thing of value in excess of $100 per year from any single person or entity that does or seeks to do business with or on behalf of Wasatch or the Funds. This rule does not apply to promotional items of nominal value that display the entity giving the gift’s logo. “Nominal value” should be less than $50.

 

  C. Pre-Approval and Reporting

 

  1. Disclosure Form

 

  (a) All supervised persons must report all items or events that qualify as gifts, per the abovementioned guidelines, to the Compliance department. The supervised person must include a description of the gift given or received, the name of the person receiving or giving the gift and the estimated value of the gift

 

  (b) The Compliance department shall maintain records of all gifts submitted.

 

  (c) Any questionable expenses shall be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee.

 

  2. Training and Educational Conferences

 

  (a)

Any training or educational conferences being sponsored by Wasatch must be submitted for pre-approval by the Compliance department. The Compliance department shall be provided with the following information relating to the proposed conference: location, purpose of the event, proposed expenses to be reimbursed

 

11 of 15


  or paid in connection with the event and list of invitees (i.e. names of individuals and firms).

 

  (b) The Compliance department shall maintain records of all approved training and educational conferences.

 

  D. Procedures for Charitable Contributions Given by Wasatch

Wasatch feels it is important and appropriate to make contributions to various charitable organizations throughout the year. At times Wasatch will make contributions to charities affiliated with or supported by Wasatch clients at a client’s request. In order to avoid any appearance of impropriety, Wasatch will not make charitable contributions in excess of $1,000 per client request.

VI. OUTSIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING SERVICE ON A BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In order to identify any potential conflicts of interest that may exist between Wasatch’s supervised persons and its clients and Fund shareholders, Wasatch requires supervised persons to complete an Outside Business Activity Disclosure Form upon commencement of employment and annually thereafter. Failure to provide honest and complete information, or to promptly update information previously provided for material changes, may result in disciplinary action.

Because of the high potential for conflicts of interest and insider trading problems, unless an exception is granted by Wasatch’s Board of Directors, supervised persons are prohibited from serving as directors of companies, whether public or private. Exceptions may be made by Wasatch’s Board after considering the relevant information and any potential conflicts of interest. Generally, supervised persons will be permitted to serve as directors of charitable organizations with which Wasatch does not have a business and/or financial relationship. If board service is authorized and potential conflicts of interest exist, safeguards—such as information barriers, investment restrictions, or other procedures—will be implemented to address the potential conflicts of interest.

VII. PROHIBITION ON “PAY TO PLAY” ACTIVITIES

Wasatch will not, directly or indirectly, make contributions to state or local political candidates or government officials. In addition, Wasatch’s employees may not make a contribution to a state or local political candidate or government official in excess of

 

  (m) $350 if the official or candidate is someone for whom the Wasatch employee is entitled to vote at the time of the contribution(s), per election, or

 

  (ii) $150 if the official or candidate is not someone for whom the Wasatch employee is entitled to vote at the time of the contribution(s), per election.

Further, Wasatch will not engage a third-party solicitor or placement agent, directly or indirectly, to solicit a government entity for advisory business, unless the solicitor or placement agent is a “regulated person” subject to prohibitions against engaging in pay-to-play activities. Similarly,

 

12 of 15


Wasatch will not engage any person or PAC to make contributions to an official or government entity to which the investment adviser is providing or seeking to provide investment advisory services, or to make payments to a political party of a state or locality where the investment adviser is providing or seeking to provide investment advisory services. Employees are encouraged to keep all contributions to PACs or local political parties within the de minimis limits stated above, however if the employee can provide documentation to Compliance indicating that contributions to a PAC or local political party are not going to support a candidate that has input on management of government funds, such contributions may exceed the de minimis limits. The prohibitions in this section do not generally apply to contributions to political candidates for federal offices or federal officials, provided however that if a candidate for a federal office is also a state or local government official the prohibitions would apply.

VIII. WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY

It is the obligation of every person covered by this Code of Ethics to report suspected or actual violations of (i) laws, (ii) government rules and regulations, (iii) this Code, (iv) Wasatch’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, or (v) other suspected wrongdoings affecting Wasatch. A person reporting any such matter can report to the Chief Compliance Officer, or any other member of the Wasatch Board of Directors. A representative of the Board or the Chief Compliance Officer shall promptly consider the information, reports or notices received and shall take appropriate action, including investigation as appropriate, in accordance with the law, governmental rules and regulations, this Code and otherwise consistent with good business practices. All notices or reports of suspected violations shall be recorded by Compliance in a log, indicating the description of the matter reported, the date of the report and the disposition thereof. Wasatch will not permit any form of intimidation or retaliation against any reporting person. Wasatch will, to the extent reasonably possible, keep confidential both the information and concerns reported, and its discussions and actions in response to these reports.

IX. ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT

 

  A. Education, Training and Certification

The Compliance department will provide each of Wasatch’s supervised persons with a copy of the Code of Ethics and any amendments to it. In addition, the Compliance department will provide general training to all supervised persons initially and on at least an annual basis. Each supervised person will be required to provide a written (including electronic) acknowledgment of his/her receipt of the Code and any amendments to it.

 

  B. Review

This policy and procedures will be reviewed at least annually to determine its adequacy and the effectiveness of its implementation and revised and/or supplemented as needed. The review will consider:

 

  1. any compliance matters that arose during the previous year,

 

13 of 15


  2. any changes in the business activities of the Advisor or its affiliates, and

 

  3. any changes in the Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act, or applicable regulations that might suggest a need to revise the policies or procedures.

Employees will be notified when the policy and/or procedures are updated for a material change.

 

  C. Annual Report to the Funds’ Board of Directors

No less frequently than annually, the Advisor is required to furnish to the Fund’s Board of Directors a written report that:

 

  1. describes any issues arising under the Code of Ethics or procedures since the last report to the Board of Directors, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the Code or procedures and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations; and

 

  2. certifies that the Advisor has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code.

 

  D. Reporting Violations

Supervised persons are required to report any violations of this Code of Ethics promptly to Wasatch’s Chief Compliance Officer or other persons in the Compliance department, provided that the Chief Compliance Officer also receives reports of all violations.

 

  E. Sanctions

Upon discovering a violation of the Code of Ethics, the Board of Directors of the Advisor or Fund may impose such sanctions as they deem appropriate depending on the type of violation involved. Sanctions may include, among other things, a letter of reprimand or censure, suspension or termination of the employment of the violator. Employees violating the personal trading procedures may be required to disgorge profits, have their personal trading activities restricted or suspended, or face internal reprimands, fines, or termination.

X. RECORDKEEPING

The Compliance department will maintain copies of the Code, records of persons subject to reporting under the Code, copies of supervised persons’ written acknowledgment of receipt of the Code, records of personal securities transactions and holdings reports and the Compliance department’s review of the same, records of decisions relating to approvals of investments in limited offerings or private placements, records of violations of the Code and actions taken as a result of the violations, records of the annual reports provided to the Funds’ Board of Directors, and records documenting the annual review of these policies and procedures. These records will be maintained (generally for five years) in accordance with applicable laws and rules there under.
