LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS —  BERNANKES BACKYARD BARBECUE

Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA

President of
Wasatch Funds

  

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

 

If you watch financial news programs on a regular basis, you’ll often see some short-term charts alongside a Wall Street talking head who’s frantically answering questions about how to invest based on the latest economic and market events. Can you imagine Warren Buffett appearing in this way, with periodic interruptions as he barks orders through a headset to buy and sell individual companies? Not likely.

The difference here is that the Wall Street talking head is a trader, while Warren Buffett is an investor. Buffett focuses on long-term company fundamentals, which is what we try to do at Wasatch Advisors. So when I’ve recently been asked about my views regarding the all-time highs in the stock market, I have a mixed reaction. Clearly, the surge in stock prices is very impressive. But an equally valid point is that the U.S. market is only now reaching the heights it achieved more than five years ago. From my perspective, rather than focusing on the headlines about record levels in the market, I prefer to spend my time trying to find the World’s Best Growth Companies® — and buy them at what I believe to be reasonable valuations.

While I don’t place much emphasis on new highs in stocks, I do believe it’s important to have views on both the fundamental and sentiment factors that drive the economy and the markets. These factors have

direct and indirect influences on the companies in which we invest, and on the prices at which we can buy or sell them.

Some of the most-important factors I see today are the actions of the Federal Reserve (Fed). Under Chairman Ben Bernanke, the Fed has engaged in unprecedented levels of “quantitative easing” by buying government securities to support bond prices and reduce interest rates. In fact, the Fed has committed to these low rates at least through 2015. For those of us who’ve spent any time around a backyard barbecue, Chairman Bernanke’s approach is analogous to pouring massive amounts of lighter fluid on the grill and hoping the charcoal briquettes eventually catch fire.

ECONOMY

To continue the barbecue analogy, the use of lighter fluid certainly produces an impressive blaze in the short term. But the real key is to create a sustainable fire in the economic briquettes. The question remains: Is the lighter fluid simply burning off, or is the economy starting to fire on its own? We probably won’t know the answer to this question until Chairman Bernanke runs out of fluid or has a change of heart regarding the efficiency of his actions.

My views concerning economic conditions are shaped by the data. And based on the data, conditions remain mixed with a bias toward a muddling economy with slow growth. On the negative side, the Congressional Budget Office recently forecast that real gross domestic product (GDP) in the U.S. will grow at only 1.4% for 2013, down from the 1.9% estimate for 2012. On the positive side, retail sales have been decent, jobless claims have declined and the unemployment rate has edged down.

Among the problems we face in our economy today are too much debt (including future Medicare and Social Security obligations), a sizable and seemingly unending budget deficit, and artificially low interest rates. The Fed’s extreme measures to support asset prices and investor sentiment have allowed the balance-sheet recession to linger on. This means that bad debts remain on the books of our government, our banks and our corporations. Until these bad debts are resolved, we will not have a healthy lending environment. In addition, somewhat higher interest rates are needed so that savers, the would-be providers of capital, are incentivized with reasonable returns on their investments. Currently these savers, both individual and corporate, are largely encouraged to be hoarders of capital because the potential returns seem low relative to the risks.

My advice to Chairman Bernanke would be to put a cap on his bottle of lighter fluid because loose monetary policy can be inflationary over the longer term and is not a good tool for promoting capital investment, growing the economy and creating jobs. Instead, I believe Bernanke should more forcefully encourage the president and Congress to pursue sensible fiscal policies that address infrastructure, education and the bad debts currently being ignored in our financial system.

MARKETS

While I believe economic conditions lean toward slow growth, the stock market certainly caught fire during the first quarter of 2013. The S&P 500 Index was up 10.61% in the first quarter after being down 0.38% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Despite my concerns about the economy and the Fed’s policies, I remain somewhat bullish on stocks for a few main reasons. First, academic research suggests that slower GDP growth does not necessarily translate into poor stock returns. Second, I’m finding companies that are beating their competition in a tough economic environment by providing better, faster and often less expensive products and services. Many of these companies are selling at reasonable price/earnings multiples with strong growth rates and sometimes-attractive dividend yields. Third, stocks are potentially good hedges against the eventual rise in inflation because an inflationary environment allows companies to increase prices, which can lead to higher earnings and stock valuations.

Another important point is that a slow-growth economic environment is a good backdrop for strong stock-pickers who can sort out the best companies. At Wasatch Advisors, we’ve historically found many of what we believe to be the best companies in the small- and micro-cap areas because these areas are often less well-researched and the companies are usually faster growers. More recently, I’ve also found good opportunities among mid- and large-cap stocks. In particular, I think many big-cap technology companies are amazingly inexpensive.

The two Wasatch mutual funds I currently manage — the World Innovators Fund (co-managed with Josh Stewart) and the Strategic Income Fund — have significant allocations to mid- and large-cap stocks for the reasons described above. Some of the

holdings in these funds have been selling at price/earnings multiples in the high single digits or low double digits. What I find so attractive are the combinations of these types of valuations with growth rates that exceed the price/earnings multiples and substantial dividend yields. In addition, the fact that the companies are larger gives investors the potential for less risk. In my career, I’ve generally had good success with stocks bought at such reasonable valuations.

A final point I’d like to make regarding the markets is that I believe diversification is now more important than ever. This is why I’ve diversified my small-cap U.S. stock investments with some larger-cap and international names. Similarly, I think holding a portion of a portfolio in cash is a wise form of diversification because it gives investors the ability to put money to work at attractive valuations when stocks suffer periodic corrections.

WASATCH

I’m pleased to announce that four of our Wasatch mutual funds received a total of six 2013 Lipper Awards on March 14, 2013. These awards recognize mutual funds that, relative to peers, have delivered consistently strong risk-adjusted performance whereby smaller downside losses are given even more importance than larger upside gains.

The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund (WAEMX) was recognized as #1 over the three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012 among 308 and 219 emerging markets funds, respectively. This recognition was earned for the second year in a row — the Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund was recognized in 2012 for its three-year performance ended December 31, 2011 among 296 emerging markets funds. The Wasatch World Innovators Fund (WAGTX) was honored as #1 for the three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012 among 144 and 72 global multi-cap growth funds, respectively. The Wasatch International Growth Fund (WAIGX) received the Lipper Award for #1 performance for the three-year period ended December 31, 2012 among 111 international small/mid-cap growth funds. Finally, the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (WHOSX) earned the Lipper Award for the #1 ranking over the five-year period ended December 31, 2012 among 20 general U.S. Treasury funds.

All of us at Wasatch Advisors are very proud of these awards, in part because they cover a wide range of our fund strategies.

With sincere thanks for your continued investment and for your trust,

The Lipper Fund Awards program honors funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to peers. Lipper designates award-winning funds in most individual classifications for the three-, five- and 10-year periods. Please visit the Awards for Excellence website (http://excellence.thomsonreuters.com/award/lipper) for more details about the Lipper Fund Awards. Lipper Award designations are not intended to constitute investment advice or predict future results, and Lipper does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

The investment objective of the Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, the Wasatch World Innovators Fund and the Wasatch International Growth Fund is long-term growth of capital. The investment objective of the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund is to provide a rate of return that exceeds the rate of inflation over a business cycle by investing in U.S. Treasury securities with an emphasis on both income and capital appreciation. The primary investment objective of the Wasatch Strategic Income Fund is to capture current income; a secondary objective is long-term growth of capital.

World’s Best Growth Companies (WBGCs) are defined by Wasatch as companies that we believe possess an identifiable, sustainable competitive advantage, are well managed, undervalued and are producing above average earnings growth relative to their industry and country of origin.

WASATCH CORE GROWTH FUND (WGROX / WIGRX) Management Discussion

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Core Growth Fund — Investor Class posted a gain of 7.59% in the first quarter of 2013 and lagged the Russell 2000 Index, which rose 12.39%. It appears that the relatively

strong returns generated by small cap equities in 2012 have caused an increase in the amount of capital flowing to the space. This is understandable in an environment of low interest rates, when fixed income investments appear to offer unattractive absolute returns.

Our moderate underperformance in a market as strong as we saw in the first quarter is not surprising to us, especially in light of our relative outperformance last year. In addition, we would not characterize the first quarter as a stock picker’s environment because the move up in prices was unusually broad —advancers outnumbered decliners by a wide margin and security selection was less important. Accordingly, the Fund lagged the Index not because a large percentage of our stocks declined. Rather, most of them performed well but were hard pressed to keep pace with the broad market advance.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Two of our best performing stocks for the quarter were Copart, Inc. and SEI Investments Co. We believe Copart continues to execute extremely well. The company provides online auctions and vehicle remarketing services in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. It is our opinion that Copart has a strong business model that would be difficult to replicate at any price. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the company’s services proved invaluable to auto insurers faced with the task of disposing of large numbers of damaged vehicles in a short period of time.

SEI is an investment manager that also provides back-end technology for banks and other financial services firms. SEI’s services allow financial advisors and institutions to get closer to their customers, to react to customer needs quicker, with better transaction processing and better service. We have owned the stock for years and have always admired SEI not only for what we consider to be a top-notch management team, but also for having one of the highest return on investment (ROI) business models we have encountered.

Herbalife Ltd., which has been in the news recently, was up strongly for the quarter and was a significant contributor to the Fund’s performance. The company delivered good fourth quarter results, with sales and earnings up over 20%. Herbalife’s stock has been volatile over the last several months as a few well known institutional investors have taken large long and short positions in the stock. In

addition, these investors have engaged in highly publicized debates regarding their views on the company. We are pleased that Herbalife has continued to execute well, despite the distractions resulting from the investor debates.

Polypore International, Inc. was one of our biggest detractors for the first quarter after posting strong gains in the previous quarter. Polypore makes filtration membranes used in batteries, including the lead-acid batteries used in conventional automobiles and the lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics and electric cars. In addition, the company has a growing and profitable business selling high technology filters to the health care industry for use in such products as kidney dialysis machines. We believe the conventional automobile and rapidly growing consumer electronics battery segments of Polypore’s business, together with its health care segment, largely support the stock’s current valuation. While the stock declined in the first quarter amid uncertainty about the timing for meaningful adoption of electric cars, we believe the inevitability of automobile electrification and Polypore’s leadership position in the membrane filtration industry justify a positive long term outlook for the company and the stock.

The share price of health club operator Life Time Fitness, Inc. fell during the quarter, and its substantial position size meant it was a big detractor in the Fund. After a good run from 2010 to 2012, Life Time’s fourth quarter earnings preannouncement revealed that membership had not grown as rapidly as expected. Earnings also weakened on increased marketing expenses and other costs to reinvest in the business. We believe the stock was punished somewhat unfairly and that Wall Street estimates had become too optimistic.

OUTLOOK

Valuations of our portfolio companies currently average 23 times trailing earnings, which is slightly above the longer term average of 21 times trailing earnings. So, while valuations are not strained, we would not describe the market or the Fund’s holdings as particularly inexpensive.

Regarding the U.S. economy, we are still facing the burdens of large government debt balances and higher tax rates. Restrained by these factors, subdued economic growth can create the type of market environment in which the stocks we favor can potentially outperform. Conversely, if the liquidity driven environment we see today continues and the small cap market broadly marches higher without respect to company fundamentals, we would expect the Fund to have some difficulty keeping pace. Nevertheless, we will stick with our time-tested approach of focusing on what we see as the highest quality companies and seeking to hold them at reasonable valuations.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets and for your trust.

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

Performance for the Institutional Class prior to 1/31/2012 is based on the performance of the Investor Class. Performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class prior to 1/31/2012 uses the actual expenses of the Fund’s Investor Class without any adjustments. For any such period of time, the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class would have been substantially similar to, yet higher than, the performance of the Fund’s Investor Class, because the shares of both classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes bear different expenses.

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

OVERVIEW

 

The first quarter of 2013 was a disappointing period for the Fund. India’s markets started strong and then faded on concerns of a slowing economy and political instability. The Fund leans more toward investing in companies with growth driven by India’s rising middle class (domestic demand). We tend to under-invest in companies that are tied to the global economy. That is one of the reasons the Fund slightly

underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI India Investable Market Index, in the first quarter. The strongest performing sector for the benchmark was information technology (IT), which gained over 22%, driven by global IT service companies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, etc. We lost nearly three percentage points of relative performance in the IT sector because we were not invested in these types of companies and we were underweighted in the sector overall. While we think our focus on companies tied to domestic demand will bear fruit over the long term, that wasn’t the case this quarter.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Typically in a down market is where we expect to add alpha, but this quarter we were hurt by the underperformance of some of our holdings in the financials sector. There seems to be broad-based weakening in India’s economy (services and manufacturing) and financial services stocks were hit relatively hard. Part of this is attributable to concerns surrounding non-performing assets including loans to real estate developers, construction and power companies. The financials sector was also roiled by a recent investigation and subsequent allegations of money laundering (with the collusion of mid-level managers) at several large private banks. We remain convinced of the long-term investment opportunity in financials. India is still relatively unbanked — about 50% of the people do not have bank accounts and a large percentage of the population has no access to banking services. Public sector banks still have over 75% market share. We believe the better-run private banks have the opportunity to take share from them. The bottom line is that we think the headroom for growth in the financials sector is still significant. Banks have demonstrated adequate prudence in their past behavior (not 100% though) and regulators have kept a tight leash on the banking system in general.

Another development that weighed on the market in March was that the coalition government lost the support of a key ally. This has put additional pressure on the government and it is likely that planned reforms have been put on hold. There has been ongoing concern regarding the lack of movement on infrastructure and related projects, including power, mining and land reform. India’s current account deficit is also of concern. None of these challenges are new.

We think the types of companies we hold in the Fund have the potential to grow even in challenging circumstances. Although many of our stocks certainly seem to have taken a pause this quarter, the good news is that valuations among the Fund’s holdings look attractive. The market has been trading at a 13.6 times forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and the Fund has been trading at 22 times with a P/E to growth rate of 1.

A recent CRISIL report (the Standard & Poor’s affiliate in India) shows that the textile, power, engineering, construction and capital goods areas of the market are showing the most stress. The Fund tends to be underinvested in companies that are capital intensive and have poor cash flow characteristics.

As noted earlier, the Fund underperformed the Index in the financials sector. LIC Housing Finance Ltd. (a non-bank finance company) was the biggest detractor in the quarter amid concerns regarding loans to real estate developers. This is relatively a small piece of LIC’s loan book (about 4%) and we believe it is an attractive segment. Although LIC’s margins have also compressed over the last three quarters, we believe the worst is behind them. We see LIC Housing Finance as a conservative lender and believe the big picture still looks attractive. We have trimmed the position a little but continue to stay invested.

OUTLOOK

The Indian economy has certainly slowed down over the past three months. However, stocks seem attractively valued at this point, and we believe the Fund is well positioned due to our conscious strategy to invest in companies tied to domestic demand. We are using this opportunity to selectively add to what we believe are our highest quality names.

Thank you for the opportunity to invest your assets.

Performance data does not reflect the deduction of fees or taxes, which if reflected, would reduce the performance quoted. For more complete information including charges, risks and expenses, read the prospectus carefully.

Investing in small or micro cap funds will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large cap or more diversified funds. Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, entails special risks, such as unstable currencies, highly volatile securities markets and political and social instability, which are described in more detail in the prospectus. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it can invest a larger portion of its assets in the stocks of a limited number of companies than a diversified fund. Non-diversification increases the risk of loss to the Fund if the values of these securities decline.

OVERVIEW

 

The Emerging Markets Select Fund is off to a strong start. The Fund’s Investor Class gained 2.06% in the first quarter and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index,

which returned -1.62%. Emerging markets trailed developed markets during the first quarter of 2013, and we saw slowing growth in large emerging economies like China and Brazil.

We have positioned the Fund to exploit opportunities arising from the explosion in domestic demand driven by consumers in emerging markets. As these markets grow and their middle class desires the same things as their contemporaries in the developed world, we think per-capita consumption expenditures can substantially increase. Roughly 70% of the Fund is invested in companies that we believe can benefit from this domestic consumption theme. This focus and our bottom-up process of analyzing the investment potential of individual companies have resulted in above benchmark weights in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors.

Our goal is to find high quality companies, as defined by strong cash flow, high returns on capital and relatively small capital needs, that we believe have a sustainable competitive advantage demonstrated by stable or expanding margins, and are led by a strong management team. These companies also have significant headroom — the ability to continue growing for long periods of time.

We seek to mitigate risk through broad country exposure, low correlations between countries and companies, and reasonable valuations. The Fund has a lower beta than the Index. We believe this is due to our focus on the domestic consumption theme and because we have underemphasized global cyclicals.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

During the quarter, many of the Fund’s holdings in the financials and consumer staples sectors outperformed their benchmark counterparts. Hong Kong-based investment manager First Pacific Co. Ltd., Philippines-based Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., provider of a range of banking and financial products and services, and SM Prime Holdings, Inc., which develops and owns shopping malls in the Philippines, were among the significant number of financial companies that contributed to the Fund’s performance for the period.

Consumer staples companies that performed well during the quarter included Coca-Cola Icecek A.S., a bottler and distributor of soft drinks in Turkey, and Magnit, Russia’s largest food retailer by market value.

While the Fund was significantly underweighted in industrials and materials relative to the Index, the few names we held in these sectors dramatically outperformed in aggregate. These included International Container Terminal Services, Inc., a port management company in the Philippines, Asian Paints (India) Ltd., a paint manufacturer, and Semen Indonesia (Persero), a cement manufacturer.

The consumer discretionary sector underperformed. Golden Eagle Retail Group Ltd., an operator of department stores in China, weighed on results in the sector and was the Fund’s biggest detractor. The stock has been eliminated from the Fund.

OdontoPrev S.A., a dental plan provider in Brazil, also detracted. Aggressive efforts to gain market share by one of the company’s competitors, in the run-up to that company being acquired, resulted in higher loss ratios for OdontoPrev. While we believe OdontoPrev is a great way to invest in the emerging middle class in Brazil, we have chosen to move to the sidelines as we assess the competitive pressures the company faces.

South Africa was a weak-performing market in the quarter due to slowing growth for commodity exports. Our South African stocks struggled along with the market, especially food retailer Shoprite Holdings Ltd.

The Fund was not invested in Poland, Egypt or the Czech Republic, which were some of the weakest performing markets in the Index.

OUTLOOK

The Fund’s portfolio metrics remain favorable. We expect earnings growth in the high teens over the next three years. The weighted average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stood at 19.6 as of March 31, 2013, and the P/E to growth rate was 1.3, which tells us the Fund’s portfolio is reasonably valued. In addition, 75% of the Fund’s holdings outperformed the benchmark, supporting our confidence in the strategy.

Judging by the metrics and the outperformance of the majority of our holdings, we believe the Fund is well positioned. As noted, we view the growing middle class in emerging markets as an enduring theme that provides the potential for the Fund to produce outstanding results over the long run.

However, if there were a strong risk-on move and high beta sectors like energy and materials (i.e., global cyclicals) lead the performance, we would expect the Fund to experience short-term underperformance.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

For the first quarter of 2013, emerging markets lagged developed markets. After a strong 2012, we believed that this year could be more difficult for returns in emerging markets, especially considering the

visible slowdowns in countries like China and Brazil. We are seeing more disparate performance across emerging markets, with smaller countries, those in Southeast Asia for example, outperforming the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries. We have been overweight in Thailand, the Philippines and Mexico to a significant degree and it helped performance in the quarter. The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund was up 4.63% for the quarter, and outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, which returned 4.20%.

In March, the Fund was recognized with a Lipper Fund Award for #1 performance over the three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2012 among 308 and 219 emerging markets funds, respectively. This recognition was earned for the second year in a row. The Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund was previously recognized in 2012 for its three-year performance ended December 31, 2011 among 296 emerging markets funds.*

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

As mentioned, smaller countries outside of the BRICs showed stronger performance in general. In Thailand, strong performance from names that were larger positions for us came from Minor International Public Co. Ltd. (hotel management and restaurants), Home Product Center Public Co. Ltd. (a home improvement retailer), Bangkok Life Assurance Public Co. Ltd. (life insurance) and Siam Makro Public Co. Ltd. (membership-based cash and carry trade centers). In the Philippines, our names did well with strong performance from Universal Robina Corp. (snack foods), International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (container terminal management) and Security Bank Corp. (universal bank).

It is interesting how the fundamentals of markets like Thailand and the Philippines have forced a decoupling from the rest of the emerging markets. The equity markets of these countries at present are backed by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth (in the 5% to 7% range), strong banking systems, and strengthening investment and consumer spending. Banks and corporations are wary of over-growing and over-investing, a result of the Asian financial crisis, which caused a decade-long aftermath of rebuilding balance sheets and increased capital discipline.

Recovery from crises like the Asian financial crisis, or like Ireland recently, take at least a decade. Of course, newspaper headlines will be full of those countries in crises of some sort, not those in steady recovery or rebuilding mode like Thailand.

Today, the main risk we see in these countries is less one of overinvestment causing massive misallocation of capital and more of too much enthusiasm by investors bidding up multiples. What is remarkable about Thailand today for us, aside from the economic recovery, is its central place in a region showing positive political development and growth — namely Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Thai corporations are already benefiting from growth and investment in these countries, as well as from visitors coming to Thailand.

Markets where we underperformed were Indonesia and China. China especially has proven to be a difficult market after a strong real estate led third quarter. Consumer names like Dah Chong Hong Holdings Ltd. and Golden Eagle Retail Group Ltd. saw softer consumer spending with disappointing growth numbers. We continue to be significantly underweight relative to the Index in China. However, companies we own in Taiwan that are growing in China include Standard Foods Corp., Chailease Holding Co. Ltd. and Taiwan Hon Chuan Enterprise Co. Ltd. South Africa also had a more difficult quarter, with weak consumer numbers and concerns over the country’s currency. Consumer names in Indonesia have been softer, as evidenced in the earnings being reported.

OUTLOOK

In terms of outlook, we see a more difficult year for equity markets in emerging countries (although we are wary of our own predictive abilities here). This is evident today especially in the BRIC markets. In the last two years, the BRIC markets have been underperforming emerging markets. Some of this is being driven by structural and political factors. Although the Fund has no holdings in South Korea, it is a significant part of the benchmark and there are clearly major political worries with North Korea — the KOSPI** was down about 4% year-to-date through March 31 as a result. For non-BRIC countries we are optimistic about the prospects of a number of the smaller markets like Thailand, Mexico, Turkey and the Philippines, where the economic drivers of growth are visibly better. We expect to see continued long-term divergence in performance — a reflection of the diversity of countries within emerging markets.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Laura Geritz.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund marked its first-year anniversary in the quarter with an absolute rank of #1, according to Morningstar, out of 560 Diversified Emerging Markets funds based on total return for the 12 months ended March 31, 2013.* The Fund continued to put up solid performance in the quarter, producing an 8.33% return versus the MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets

Index, which was up 4.39%.

Year-to-date, media pundits have postulated a return to the risk-on trade. Yet the traditional high beta sectors, namely energy and materials, were weak in the quarter, and investors are showing a strong preference for markets with relatively strong growth prospects.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

NagaCorp Ltd. was our top-contributing stock this quarter. We met NagaCorp’s management in our office recently, and the company’s long-term growth plans appear intact. We feel fortunate to have had very few torpedoes in this Fund and we have done well with our country tilts. A notable miss in the quarter was the United Arab Emirates due to our low weighting and the underperformance of our holdings relative to the Index. We are active in this market, but have struggled to find companies that meet our quality criteria.

Instead of recounting play-by-play details on Fund performance, I want to elaborate on one of our central tenets for launching the Fund. A core premise is that investors need to rethink index constructs, which emphasize the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations, Taiwan, and Korea. Instead, we believe investors need to consider using active management to craft a well-diversified portfolio, which seeks the next great growth countries and strives to mitigate risk through analyzing correlation statistics — how countries move in the same or vastly different directions.

One of the other tenets of the Fund I want to discuss comes as a direct response to a question I often receive from investors and that is “What do I think constitutes a frontier or an emerging small country?” Frontier and emerging small countries primarily have either low GDP per capita, and hence great growth potential like Nigeria and Kenya, or are wealthy countries whose markets are simply illiquid like the United Arab Emirates. Others are like Costa Rica, a country that is actually relatively wealthy. Little of its GDP is recognized in market capitalization yet. It is absent from the indices, and many Costa Rican companies are not public. That is a future opportunity for investors.

I like to call our frontier and emerging small countries portfolio a Frankenstein portfolio, constructed of different nations with vastly different economic and political parts.

Yet unlike Mary Shelley’s fictional beast, the sum of the parts — the portfolio — works. Remove the sutures and you have interesting uncorrelated growth and value markets where we believe quality abounds. This means a portfolio manager can potentially mitigate volatility by putting together countries that don’t move in concert.

To elaborate on our portfolio creation, let me talk about one of the trips we took in the quarter. We visited a number of countries in Africa including Zimbabwe and South Africa. I think Zimbabwe is a perfect example of how a seemingly dysfunctional country can still be a great investment — our brewer in Zimbabwe does not move in concert with our brewer in Morocco, yet both have gone up over time. Zimbabwe went from being the breadbasket of Africa to Africa’s basket case. Zimbabwe has had it all — a kleptocratic government, sweeping nationalizations, hyperinflation, price controls, capital controls, and a currency collapse. Yet, I’m optimistic. At some point, President Mugabe will have to go — he is the country’s past not its future. Zimbabwe is known for its high level of education. It is a pleasant country with agricultural resources and little crime. The informal economy is sizable, driving demand for our consumer goods holdings — Delta, Innscor and Dairibord. I can’t help but marvel at what I consider to be the biggest positive — the quality of the companies.

In the quarter, a number of our South African companies were weak, as the region is witnessing a slowdown in consumption following mining strikes last year and a credit boom. Mr Price Group, Shoprite, Woolworths and Tiger Brands were impacted in the quarter by softness in South African consumption. However, I believe these companies can use their scale and proximity — at the doorstep of sub-Sahara — to canvas the continent. Long-term, I expect these will be great Pan-African companies, and I have been rounding up into weakness.

OUTLOOK

Frontier and emerging small countries offer low correlations, valuations still appear reasonable, growth has been good, and quality looks high on an absolute and relative basis. We believe we can craft the Fund’s portfolio by using our process of screening and deep due diligence to find companies within these markets that have outstanding potential. Our upcoming quarter once again entails rigorous travel. We will be traveling to Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Thailand, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania to name just a few markets. We remain convinced that the Fund’s long-term opportunity looks good — even for a Frankenstein portfolio.

Thank you for your investment.

Investing in small cap funds will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large cap or more diversified funds. Investing in foreign securities, especially in frontier and emerging markets, entails special risks, such as unstable currencies, highly volatile securities markets and political and social instability, which are described in more detail in the prospectus. Being non-diversified, the Fund can invest a larger portion of its assets in the stocks of a limited number of companies than a diversified fund. Non-diversification increases the risk of loss to the Fund if the values of these securities decline.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund gained 8.25% in the first quarter, and the MSCI AC World Small Cap Index rose 9.65%.

The quarter was a combination of strong results in

absolute terms and modest underperformance versus the benchmark. Our investments in the vast majority of sectors and countries posted gains, with particular strength in industrials, information technology, Australia and Japan. The biggest factor in the Fund’s performance versus the MSCI AC World Small Cap Index was our lower relative weight in U.S. stocks. Our holdings in the United States performed well, generating double-digit gains that were slightly behind the average for U.S. small caps. Our international stocks did slightly better than the international component of the Index, mitigating some of the effect of a low U.S. weight.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Our international holdings, which accounted for about 58% of the Fund, gained approximately 7.5% for the quarter, and exceeded the 6.54% increase in the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index.* Keeping pace with our benchmark, the MSCI AC World Small Cap Index, was made more difficult by our overweight positions in two markets that declined — India and South Africa. The political environment has been tenuous in India. One of the key members of the ruling coalition government recently pulled its support from the government, triggering a broad sell-off in equities. In South Africa, concerns about the country’s growth outlook and ongoing labor tensions put downward pressure on its currency, eroding equity returns for U.S.-based investors.

As a market, Japan caught many investors by surprise, posting a gain of nearly 16% for the period. Coming into the quarter, the Fund’s weight in Japan was less than half of the Index’s, but we still outperformed in the country. This was in part due to MonotaRO Co. Ltd., an Internet-based distributor of maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) supplies headquartered in Japan. It was the Fund’s largest position coming into the quarter and the stock gained nearly 51%. The company offers about two million products and has been posting record monthly sales. On the negative side, LIC Housing Finance Ltd., one of India’s largest mortgage lenders, was a major detractor. LIC reported slower loan growth and an increase in non-performing assets. We sold the stock in response to the disappointing results, as well as our concerns about LIC’s relatively new management team.

Our domestic holdings, which accounted for approximately 37% of the Fund, were up about 12.2%. This was a strong result. However, it was not quite as strong as the performance of the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Index,** which rose 12.79%. In the aggressive market environment that prevailed during the quarter, economically sensitive and more speculative stocks were generally the market’s best performers. Stocks related to construction and housing were especially strong. Biotechnology stocks were also top performers. With risk appetites elevated, many of our stable companies with consistent earnings and solid business models looked less appealing by comparison. While this was a challenge for our style of investing, the margin of underperformance in the domestic portion of the Fund was small.

One of our steady growth companies that did outperform was Copart, Inc., a provider of online auctions and vehicle remarketing services in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Strong, profitable relationships with auto insurers are key drivers of its business, and Copart continues to win exclusive contracts with insurance companies. SEI Investments Co., a stock we added this quarter, was another notable contributor. SEI is an investment manager that also provides back-office technology to banks and other financial services firms. The company has been investing heavily in its “Global Wealth Services” to attract large bank customers, and this initiative is starting to pay off. Sales trends are positive, and earnings growth is reaccelerating.

One of the biggest U.S. detractors this quarter was Polypore International, Inc. Polypore makes filtration membranes used in batteries, including the lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars. The stock declined amid uncertainty about the timing for the meaningful adoption of electric vehicles. Despite the recent weakness, our long-term thesis on Polypore remains intact. We believe that vehicle electrification is inevitable and that the company is well positioned for this opportunity since it is one of the world’s leading suppliers of lithium battery membranes.

OUTLOOK

As always, we remain focused on identifying companies whose individual characteristics provide the potential for them to excel and grow regardless of broad trends in the global economy. According to our models, our portfolio companies are on track to generate 18% annual earnings growth over the next three years, while delivering a 24% return on equity. In addition, the Fund’s weighted-average price-to-earnings ratio is 19 times forward 12-month earnings, which is attractive relative to our earnings estimates. These metrics give us confidence that our portfolio of Wasatch’s best global ideas is well positioned for the months ahead.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

Spurred on, in part, by the rebound in the housing market, the stock market continued its upward advance to open the year. Virtually every sector finished the first quarter in

positive territory during a broad market rally.

The Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund also posted strong performance with an 8.18% gain for the quarter. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, performed even better by returning 11.51%.

We are pleased that the Fund delivered a significant gain. We are also disappointed — though not completely surprised — that it underperformed the benchmark. As we’ve said in the past, the steadily growing, top quality companies that we believe we hold in the Fund tend to generate less market excitement when stock prices are soaring. We would have liked the market to recognize the untapped potential of the Fund’s holdings. But — more importantly — we believe the consistent execution of the companies we hold gives them the potential to outperform when market participants aren’t so optimistic. Although our top 20 holdings by position size each delivered a positive return, we simply weren’t invested where the market was the strongest this quarter.

We believe we should be good stewards and vigorous protectors of the Fund’s capital. This means that part of our job is to drown out the short-term noise of market movements — whether up or down — so we can remain focused on the task of finding great companies valued at reasonable prices. We don’t invest with the intent of capturing all of the available upside because, in addition to securing gains, we also believe we are charged with minimizing downward movements. Though this isn’t always an immediately rewarding process, we are confident that our disciplined approach is the best way to achieve outstanding results over time.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The Fund’s underperformance was primarily attributable to being less exposed to consumer discretionary and consumer staples companies than the benchmark. Both sectors were meaningful contributors to the benchmark’s return.

Even though we are witnessing signs of modest economic improvement, the overhang of debt — both on the government and individual level — continues to make us cautious in our outlook. As irrepressible as consumer spending has been, with savings rates dipping and tax rates increasing, we currently see few enticing investment opportunities among companies dependent upon consumers, especially among retailers.

IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. was a strong performer during the quarter. While headlines focused on the company’s pending acquisition of NYSE Euronext,* operator of the New York Stock Exchange, we believe the more attractive component of the transaction is the NYSE Liffe, which deals in derivatives, a rapidly expanding segment of trading activity.

Covance, Inc. was also a significant contributor. The company, which partners primarily with pharmaceutical firms to assist in drug development, has been in a difficult environment. Its early-stage business virtually dried up in 2008 as biotechnology companies encountered severe challenges. We’re optimistic about the current Food and Drug Administration environment, which seems to now have a more efficient approval process. We believe that Covance has a good opportunity to return its margins back to where they once were, which should support a higher stock price.

SEI Investments Co. performed well and is an example of a quintessential portfolio holding. This diversified investment manager and processor has continued to make strides coming off of the deep decline of the equity markets since the financial crisis began in late 2007. We increased our position size during the quarter as we felt the company’s valuation looked appealing and we expect meaningful earnings growth driven by SEI’s expansion into new markets.

Few holdings detracted from the Fund’s performance. After being the Fund’s top-contributing stock during the fourth quarter, Polypore International, Inc. declined. Riverbed Technology, Inc. also detracted. With a dominant share of the wide area network optimization market, the company is transitioning from a single product company to a more diversified multi-product vendor. We believe this transition has resulted in a lack of clarity in the eyes of investors, and we have maintained a small position size. However, from a valuation standpoint, the stock appears inexpensive.

We sold a pair of small positions — Altera Corp., a semiconductor company, and SandRidge Energy, Inc. We lost some of our conviction about their prospects and felt that better opportunities were available.

OUTLOOK

While we forecast that companies’ earnings growth will continue to advance through the rest of the year, we also expect market returns to temper. In the broader market, stock price appreciation has vastly outpaced earnings growth. We are skeptical that this trend can continue over time.

The positive news coming out of the quarter was that we delivered a strong return and grew the Fund’s value. The downside of the rising market is that stocks are generally more expensive than they were just a few months ago. This means we must be even more disciplined about the valuation and quality of the companies held in the Fund.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND (WAIGX)  Management  Discussion   MARCH 31, 2013

 

 

 

The Wasatch International Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Roger Edgley.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch International Growth Fund had quite a strong quarter, in absolute terms and versus its benchmark, the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index. The Fund was up 10.23% for the quarter while the benchmark was up 6.54%. The Fund performed well across countries and sectors with Japan being a key market  — not only for the first quarter but also for the last year. We are pleased that the Fund received the Lipper

Fund Award for #1 performance for the three-year period ended December 31, 2012 among 111 international small/mid growth funds.* The Fund also continued to show lower risk than the Index we are measured against, which is something we strive to do. Part of this comes from portfolio construction (both sector and country) but also from the types of companies we buy and hold in the portfolio.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

So far, 2013 is turning into a very different year from 2012, in that we have seen strong performance from developed markets year-to-date, especially compared to emerging markets. The MSCI BRIC** (Brazil, Russia, India and China) Index was down 2.98% at the end of the first quarter, with evident economic slowdowns in China, Brazil and India. It is interesting that there are signs of recovery in economies like the U.S., although we are seeing quite soft energy and materials sectors.

For the quarter, the Fund benefited from strong performance in most sectors. We outperformed in the heavily weighted sectors — consumer discretionary, consumer staples, information technology and industrials — except for financials. Our best performing sector was consumer discretionary where we were overweight and outperformed the overall portfolio and the benchmark. The outperformance was driven by names like REA Group Ltd., an Australian company operating a real estate and commercial property advertising Internet portal, United Arrows Ltd., a Japanese retailer of men’s and women’s apparel and accessories, and Yoox S.p.A., an Italian Internet retailer selling clothing, shoes and accessories.

By country, the most notable performer was Japan. Although the Fund’s average weight in Japan for the period was about 11% compared to 17.6% for the benchmark, our companies outperformed, gaining nearly 36% compared to nearly 16% for the Index. We added value in Japan through stock picking. Even though we own very few weak yen beneficiaries, our stocks like MonotaRO Co. Ltd., M3, Inc. and Kakaku.com, Inc. did well, not just in the last quarter but in the last year. The stocks we own in Japan we believe are comparable in quality to their peer group elsewhere in

the world. Japan is a hard environment in which to achieve organic growth, and most, if not all, of the companies are demonstrating this.

Japan has been a challenging market for investors for many years due to its low velocity, deflationary economy. The more recent challenge for corporations in Japan has been the strong currency, which has made it difficult to compete against U.S., Korean and Asian companies in industries ranging from electronics to cars. However, we believe that the best Japanese companies are often world-class with centers of excellence in many areas of industry. We are constructive about Japan and we are pleased with how our process has identified what we believe are companies with growth and quality.

Disappointing country performance came from the United Kingdom, where we underperformed by virtue of two names — Renishaw plc and EMIS Group plc, which we still hold.

OUTLOOK

The Fund continues to be managed in a broad way across its rich universe of companies. Even with slower growth environments in Europe and elsewhere, we believe there are excellent companies to be found that are changing their industries and innovating for the future — whether they are Internet, health care or retail.

We remain constructive on the outlook for the Fund given some signs of recovery in developed markets. We believe Japan will be a key challenge for international investors this year, especially given that it is a large part of the universe. It is the single largest country by market capitalization in the universe we cover. The BRIC markets, as mentioned, can continue to be challenging for policymakers and central banks. For Europe, we will continue to seek what we consider to be high quality companies that are global leaders in their chosen niches.

The international team thanks all the Fund’s shareholders for their support and for the faith they have shown in us. Be assured that we continue to work hard in the challenging and exciting task of finding great small companies around the world.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund gained 11.28% in the quarter and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which was up 6.54%.

Japanese equities rallied as the Bank of Japan renewed its commitment to stamp out deflation through the use of aggressive stimulus. The yen weakened against the U.S. dollar in the first three months of the year, helping to boost the profitability of Japan’s exporters. While the International Opportunities Fund has relatively little exposure to exporters and our exposure to Japan is less significant than that of the benchmark, the Fund’s Japanese holdings returned over 43% in the quarter compared to under 16% for the Japanese stocks in the Index.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Japan had been one of the only nations not to respond to the threat of global deflation and depression by devaluing its currency, and hence the nation’s industrial powerhouse companies lost market share to countries competing with inexpensive, debased currencies. Enter 2013 and Japan is aggressively buying back bonds and driving down its currency, which will make Japanese exports more competitive. The secular growers we own in Japan aren’t as attractively valued as they were a quarter ago, but we could see growth accelerate, as Japan’s central bank warriors attack the strong currency to gain a competitive edge over their neighbors.

As for stock picking, our consumer staples stocks, which represent approximately 32% of the portfolio compared to about 6% for the benchmark, saw a healthy return in the quarter and comfortably outperformed the benchmark with help from Japanese names like Cosmos Pharmaceutical Corp., Kusuri No Aoki Co. Ltd. and Pigeon Corp.

The materials sector also contributed to the Fund’s outperformance of the Index primarily due to reasonable returns from chemical names like Berger Paints India Ltd. and, more importantly, our underweighting of the poor-performing metals and mining industry.

In the industrials sector, Japanese names like MonotaRO Co. Ltd. and Nihon M&A Center, Inc. aided the Fund’s outperformance along with Southeast Asian stocks Arwana Citramulia, Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. and Astra Graphia. Headwinds in the Indonesian coal mining industry pushed down machinery distributor Hexindo Adiperkasa, the worst performing stock in the sector.

Consumer discretionary was the only significant sector where the Fund underperformed the benchmark. A few Indian names like Bata India Ltd. and auto component companies WABCO India Ltd. and Goodyear India Ltd. pressured returns.

Performance of our financial stocks also beat those in the Index, although the Fund’s exposure to financials is just over one-tenth of the benchmark’s 20% weight. It is difficult for us to find what we consider high-quality, long-term micro cap investments in the sector. Although the Fund underperformed the Index in financials due to our significant underweighting, the strong performance of our stocks added to the Fund’s absolute return.

Finally, the Fund’s energy stocks beat those in the benchmark, largely due to the performance of Korean Hankook Shell Oil Co. Ltd. We are less optimistic on the energy sector this year. It is hard for us to find energy names in the micro cap space that fit our quality parameters. In addition, when we reflect on companies in the sector, many are not inexpensive enough yet or they lack strong enough growth to make a convincing case for owning them.

OUTLOOK

Japan is now the bad boy on the developed market block, entering the realm of global currency debasers, and this action has driven a bull market in its stocks. Fortunately, we were already there, snapping up quality companies we viewed as attractively valued. We were not anticipating strong macro drivers, but we had discovered that high-quality secular growers in Japan, ones we would own in any country, had gotten inexpensive. As a result, the Fund outperformed the Index with a smaller weight.

As for international investing and the prospects ahead, the world’s central banks have succeeded in orchestrating low rates that force investors out of their low return bank accounts and into higher-yielding equities. We would expect to underperform in this type of risk-on environment because we strive to own higher-quality companies whose stocks can look unexciting to investors in a momentum driven market. We were worried that the Fund had gotten too aggressive and was rising with the risk-on trade. However, when we dissect the data, it is clear at least in the international world, that quality continues to work. With that in mind, we will continue to turn over new investment ideas from bottom up screening for companies with good balance sheets, cash flow and sustainable growth.

Last quarter, the Wasatch team was in Brazil, Mexico, the Middle East, Japan, Australia, Korea, China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Mauritius. We will continue our rigorous travel schedules. In addition, we will focus on country diversification as we strive to mitigate risk and capture growth. We believe we can find high-quality micro cap companies in all regions of the world, but we expect great variability in country returns as the world’s economies diverge. We think it’s still a stock-picker’s environment.

Thank you for your investment.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund — Investor Class returned 10.97% for the first quarter of 2013, and lagged the 12.31% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The year got off

to a strong start, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index made new all-time highs in the first quarter. This was perhaps not surprising in view of record high corporate profits, but was less predictable when viewed against a backdrop of stubbornly high deficits and unemployment. One constant since 2009 has been easy monetary policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) reiterated its stance that monetary policy would continue to be “pedal to the metal” until employment recovered. The Bank of Japan has joined the easy money party, providing additional support for global growth expectations. With investors buying in at these levels, we are mindful of the stiff corrections experienced in 2010 and 2011. While earnings and dividends have risen, so have valuations.

In the quarter, our financial and consumer staples holdings bested the benchmark, while poor relative performance in information technology hurt results versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Our cash position, which rose slightly as we sold some stocks into strength, also constrained returns.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The best news during the quarter came in the form of two takeovers. We had only just purchased PC firm Dell, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2012, when the founder decided to take his company private. We sold half of the position on the announcement and the rest as other bids pushed the stock higher. In addition, Berkshire Hathaway* made an offer for food and beverage company HJ Heinz Co. at 11 times EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization — a measure of the efficiency with which a company generates earnings). Warren Buffett rarely pays over seven times EBITA, so we did not hesitate to sell the entire position.

The stock price of pharmaceutical chain Walgreen Co. rose nearly 30% on positive business metrics. We were a buyer of the stock on price weakness in 2011 and 2012 when the company had been controversial due to a disagreement with a large client, weakening sales, and a questionable strategic investment, all of which implied a potentially broken business model.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. is a long-time holding with what we consider to be an excellent energy asset base. The stock has had a bumpy ride in the aftermath of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and unrelated environmental

claims it inherited as part of an acquisition. However, Anadarko’s stock made it back to an all-time high in the quarter, reflecting our belief that, in the long run, fundamentals drive stock prices and patience pays off.

Apple, Inc. was among our biggest laggards. The stock of the consumer electronics icon has become controversial, but we think it has remained relatively inexpensive. Growth expectations, while still impressive, have diminished, and there were plenty of profits to be taken by long-term stockholders. We think Apple’s cash flow and dividends will grow and that the stock’s price could potentially move higher within the next several quarters. Another significant detractor was Barrick Gold Corp. Barrick suffered as gold prices softened and from operational issues that management asserts they are addressing.

We eliminated retailer Best Buy Co., Inc. and Transocean Ltd., a provider of offshore contract drilling services for oil and gas wells. We also sold engineering construction firm Fluor Corp. and online market eBay, Inc. We took two new positions — Kraft Foods Group, Inc., as a replacement for Heinz, and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., as we think prices for copper could stabilize based on demand from China and the nascent housing recovery in the U.S.

OUTLOOK

Not only were stock prices strong in the first quarter, but also real estate appears to have turned the corner as well, which may provide a boost to the American psyche. While we are not experts in fixed income, yields from Treasuries to junk bonds are exceedingly low, which helps make dividend-paying stocks more attractive. It is a stated goal of the Fed to drive interest rates lower, which pushes investors into higher-risk securities, helping the stock market. There seemed to be less drama coming out of Washington, D.C. over the past three months, although there still has been no substantial action to resolve the country’s longer-term structural issues.

We saw in the quarter at least two reminders that the Great Financial Crisis is not completely in our rear view mirrors. In Detroit, a financial manager was appointed by Michigan’s governor to forestall the city’s bankruptcy. Overseas, Cyprus bank deposits were taken from depositors to help recapitalize the banking sector.

As 2013 progresses, we continue to expect slow growth and the potential for broadly acceptable total returns for stocks. We thank you for your continued confidence and investment with us.

Investments in value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. Loss of principal is a risk of investing.

OVERVIEW

 

We were pleased with performance in the first quarter, as the Fund provided a strong positive return in a rallying market while carrying a net long exposure of approximately 70%. In particular,

we had good stock selection within the energy, financials and information technology groups. Importantly, our long positions in aggregate rose more than the S&P 500, while our short positions rose less than the market.

The market strength was spurred by relief as the threatened “fiscal cliff” was averted at the end of 2012, and was supported through the quarter by investors increasingly looking to equity markets given the low expected returns going forward from cash and fixed-income vehicles.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

We had excellent performance in the long portion of the portfolio. The energy services space continued its recent strength with Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. and Halliburton Co. contributing significantly to the Fund’s return. Denbury Resources, Inc., the Fund’s largest position, performed steadily as investors recognized the tremendous value in the company’s focused EOR (enhanced oil recovery) assets, improved balance sheet and attention to compounding shareholder value. Following debt refinancing and tri-party asset exchanges, Denbury is operating on a positive cash flow basis, and the market has rewarded the stock.

A number of strong individual stock selections added to performance in the quarter, including computing solutions company Silicon Graphics International Corp., insurer Unum Group, cosmetics giant Avon Products, Inc. and advertising firm The Interpublic Group of Cos., Inc. Silicon Graphics showed substantial evidence of the new management team’s operational focus, and the market reacted positively to the results as well as to a much better-than-expected operating outlook for 2013. This has been a challenging position over the past year and our patience and tenacity in taking an activist approach are beginning to bear fruit.

Our information technology sector exposure also had strong returns, driven in part by a pair of takeovers. Our thesis on PC firm Dell, Inc. was rewarded quickly as the company’s net cash balance sheet and low valuation provided a strong foundation for a leveraged buyout offer from its founder. Communications equipment provider Acme Packet, Inc. benefited from a bid for its unique technology, and we exited the last of our position through a covered call option.

On the short side, while we experienced small losses on a number of positions, our disciplined approach to maintaining low gross exposure worked to limit the impact of such a significantly positive equity market. We continue to focus our short efforts on covered calls as they provide a more direct hedge on some of our larger and more volatile long holdings.

The newest addition to our top 10 holdings is consumer electronics icon Apple, Inc. We purchased Apple after it declined on earnings announcements perceived as negative, and we believe our cost basis for the stock is very attractive. Our position is quite large for a starter position, but the stock’s valuation caused us to move aggressively, while at the same time we established a very meaningful covered call position as a hedge.

Finally, we added to the portfolio a pair of relatively small exploration and production companies with what we believe are underappreciated natural gas assets — Bill Barrett Corp. and Swift Energy Co. Bill Barrett is shaping up to be a unique turnaround story with the departure in the quarter of both the company’s CEO and head of exploration. At present the Chief Operating Officer is acting as CEO and he has demonstrated a sincere commitment to more disciplined operating efforts focused on shareholder return going forward.

OUTLOOK

We continue to believe that the majority of the stocks we own offer meaningful upside potential. Equity markets have experienced renewed interest from investors seeking both returns and stores of value in a world that is increasingly questioning the value of cash and the risk of holding fixed-income instruments given very, very low rates by historical standards. We are mindful of the increased risk to the macro economy posed by government actions or lack thereof with respect to the ongoing budget imbalances and entitlement obligations. While we will be watching closely for signs of any abrupt change of direction, we would expect incremental progress in these areas as opposed to going off some sort of cliff or attaining a “grand bargain.”

On the short side, we continue to see overvalued pockets in the market. We are once again looking toward the consumer discretionary area at companies that we believe have high valuations and semi-luxury brands, such as jeweler Tiffany & Co. and clothier Michael Kors Holdings Ltd.

As always, we will continue to strive to be responsible stewards of your capital by providing significant exposure to the market’s potential progress. In addition, we will strive to minimize risk in weaker market environments.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Fund.

The Fund makes short sales of securities which involve the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Equity investing involves risks, including potential loss of the principal amount invested. Being non-diversified, the Fund can invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of a limited number of companies than a diversified fund. Non-diversification increases the risk of loss to the Fund if the values of these securities decline.

WASATCH MICRO CAP FUND (WMICX) Management Discussion   MARCH 31, 2013

 

 

 

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

 

LOGO

 

Daniel Chace, CFA

Portfolio Manager

  

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund gained 11.13% in the first quarter. The Russell Microcap Index (the Fund’s primary benchmark) and the Russell 2000 Index rose 12.58% and 12.39%, respectively.

Looking across our holdings, the key driver of individual stock price performance was business momentum — investors seemed to be keenly focused on momentum while paying less attention to valuations.

A significant number of our stocks were up 25% or more, and the common thread among them was accelerating sales growth, better-than-expected earnings, favorable guidance or a combination of these factors. Alternatively, we had some detractors whose operating results or guidance fell short of expectations. So, it was a relatively straightforward quarter in that good news generally drove the winners and bad news caused stocks to lag.

On a weighted-average basis, our companies reported low-teens earnings growth in the most recent reporting season. This growth rate was below our long-run target; however, it was in line with our expectations and better than the growth rate for the small cap market as a whole.* Our models suggest that the earnings growth in the Fund will potentially accelerate to the high-teens in the next reporting period.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Two of the quarter’s best-performing stocks came from the information technology sector — SciQuest, Inc. and Power Integrations, Inc. SciQuest provides an online software platform for companies to buy goods like office supplies and computers that are not part of the final products they sell. We purchased the stock in September 2010 on the initial public offering. After we bought it, SciQuest showed only moderate growth, and our analysis focused on the company’s ability to accelerate its growth rate. Through a series of acquisitions, the company has expanded its product line, making the platform more attractive to more customers. The expanded platform is gaining traction, and SciQuest’s organic growth rate is accelerating from the mid-teens toward 20%.

Power Integrations designs semiconductors that reduce energy consumption in a variety of electronic products, including cellphone chargers, LED lighting, industrial motors and personal computers. The company has struggled to grow over the past couple of years as its share of the cellphone charger market has eroded. We have patiently held onto our position, mainly because we have confidence in the management team’s ability to reinvigorate strong growth. The stock surged this quarter after fourth-quarter operating results showed that Power Integrations is starting to regain share in the cellphone charger market. The industrial and computing businesses are also doing well.

Angie’s List, Inc. was another stock that had an exceptionally strong quarter. The company operates a website that allows members to research and rate local service providers, such as auto mechanics and plumbers. In February, Angie’s List reported its first-ever quarterly profit, fueled by strong new member sales and lower acquisition costs per member. It is unlikely that the company will report a profit in the first quarter of this year given the seasonality in the business. Nonetheless, we believe the path to sustainable profitability is clear for Angie’s List. Mature markets, such as Indianapolis and Boston, are not only earning money but also generating good margins as membership fees and advertising rates rise and acquisition costs decline. So as the company finishes building out its footprint and newer markets gain critical mass, the high degree of operating leverage in the business should take hold.

Gordmans Stores, Inc., a big-box discount retailer, was our biggest detractor this quarter. The weakness in same-store sales that we discussed in our last report has persisted, and we do not foresee any short-term improvement. The consumer environment remains challenging, but sales have also been impacted by some merchandising missteps. We trimmed our position in recognition that earnings are likely to remain weak in the short term, but we still see long-term potential in Gordmans. The company appears to be making the right investments to drive improvement. For example, it recently appointed a new Chief Merchandising Officer and has implemented systems to better manage inventory and markdowns and to monitor store traffic. However, these initiatives will take time before they yield stronger same-store sales figures.

OUTLOOK

With the exception of housing, it is hard for us to be overly enthusiastic about the outlook for the U.S. economy. The unemployment rate has fallen, but one reason for the decline is that discouraged job seekers are dropping out of the labor force. The January 1 payroll tax increase has taken a bite out of consumers’ paychecks, and uncertainty about government spending and regulation may undermine business confidence. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve continues to try to jump-start growth with quantitative easing and record-low interest rates — policies that seem to be benefiting asset prices more than the economy. In this challenging environment, we remain focused on investing in what we believe are high-quality micro cap companies that can grow despite the macro headwinds — companies with innovative products and services, unique business models and excellent management.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

In the first quarter, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund gained 12.78% and outperformed the Russell Microcap Index, which returned 12.58%. Upbeat news on the U.S. economy lifted stocks, as inflation remained low and the Federal Reserve gave no indication that tighter monetary policy was imminent.

Micro cap stocks did especially well for the quarter, which usually tends to

be the case in aggressive market environments such as was observed during the first three months of the year. Not surprisingly, economically sensitive areas of the micro cap market — including transportation, financial and consumer-discretionary stocks — performed best, while consumer staples lagged. More of a surprise was that information technology stocks also lagged, as growth in that sector appears to have slowed at least for the time being.

One area of the U.S. micro cap market in which we are finding attractively valued opportunities is the financials sector. The Fund owns a number of specialty-finance companies and small banks, which while not growing rapidly, represent potential value to be unlocked given a suitable catalyst.

In contrast with Europe especially, the U.S. continues to be a bright spot among the world’s developed markets. Economic data has been coming in better than expected and has underpinned the market’s positive tone during the past two quarters. On balance, the Fund’s domestic investments slightly outperformed its foreign holdings for the quarter. We have no particular view on how much longer the U.S. will continue to outperform, and we are maintaining our discipline by holding approximately 29% of the Fund’s assets in foreign companies as of quarter-end.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Two of our biggest contributors for the quarter were Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd. and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. Caesarstone, based in Israel, is a world leader in engineered quartz slabs for kitchen countertops and other interior surfaces. The company’s products are used primarily in the renovation and remodeling markets, where they are displacing granite as the surface of choice for high-end applications. After having had success in Australia, Israel, Europe and Canada, Caesarstone in 2011 began a major push into the U.S. market, which already accounts for 40% of the company’s sales. The company is benefiting from increased turnover in the U.S. housing market, and we expect Caesarstone’s products to continue taking share from other countertop options.

NorthStar is a real-estate investment trust (REIT) that operates as a commercial real estate investment and asset-management company. It originates and acquires real-estate related debt, including distressed debt purchased at a

substantial discount to the amount owed. NorthStar is benefiting from recovery in the real-estate market. Its investment portfolio has been appreciating, and the company continues to find profitable opportunities to deploy capital.

BofI Holding, Inc., the holding company for BofI Federal Bank, was another of our top contributors. The company provides Internet banking for customers in the U.S, as well as solutions that enable customers to electronically send and receive money and deposit checks. BofI specializes in jumbo and jumbo-non-conforming loans and is benefiting from improvement in the housing market and a pickup in mortgage originations. The efficiency of Internet banking is clearly a plus for BofI and its customers, and we think the company is well-situated for future growth.

Mutual-fund sponsor Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. was our best contributor for the fourth quarter of 2012 and near the top again for the first quarter of 2013. The company continues to attract investors with its distinctive, niche-type mutual funds.

Norwegian company Electromagnetic Geoservices was our biggest detractor. The company uses proprietary electromagnetic technology to provide worldwide support to oil and gas companies in their search for offshore hydrocarbons. Electromagnetic Geoservices has had a lull in its business, as a lack of contract visibility has caused investors to question whether its technology is viable. We recently reevaluated the company, and sold the Fund’s entire position (which was relatively small) subsequent to quarter-end.

Solta Medical, Inc. was another big detractor for the quarter. The company sells energy-based medical-device systems for aesthetic applications primarily in North America, the Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. Its stock appears to have fallen out of favor despite a stronger U.S. economy, which typically would be expected to increase demand for aesthetic procedures and boost sales of the company’s products.

OUTLOOK

Despite somewhat stronger domestic economic data, the current U.S. recovery has been choppy and unusually slow. Even so, our portfolio companies do not require strong economic growth in order to execute and grow profitably. Generally, we think our companies can perform well in a sluggish economy in which annual GDP growth muddles along in the 1% to 3% range.

On the foreign front, we continue to work with the Wasatch International Team to seek undiscovered micro-cap companies with little or no analyst coverage. While the U.S. market tends to be better covered, small and unique companies with attractive valuations and strong growth potential are more commonly found in foreign markets. In fact, value companies that also have strong growth characteristics typically are the only investment opportunities we look at overseas — where currency risk and other factors unique to foreign investing make value turnarounds less appealing.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets and for your trust.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund gained 9.11% in what was another strong quarter for the U.S. equity market. Stocks rallied throughout the quarter on signs of a firming economy and a

continued outlook for low interest rates. The Russell 2000 Growth Index gained 13.21% and the Russell 2000 Index rose 12.39%.

The Fund lagged the small cap benchmarks in a market led by more speculative stocks. Though our stocks participated and generally performed well, we were not as richly rewarded as investors who took more risk. This is a natural consequence of our investment style, which focuses on what we believe are high quality companies with solid business models and consistent earnings growth. During periods of elevated risk taking, such as was observed in the first quarter, the types of stocks we favor tend to underperform because investors seek to move up the risk spectrum in search of higher returns.

Outperformance of higher risk companies is normally observed coming off a market bottom when investors perceive an upturn in economic activity. That this paradigm has materialized so late in the current market cycle is quite unusual. The higher quality stocks we favor outperformed from the March 2009 bottom until midyear 2012, a period that would typically favor riskier stocks. We believe this reversal of order is due to the severity of the financial crisis — investors were uncomfortable holding risky stocks so early in uncharted economic territory. Massive amounts of stimulus and an investing public unhappy with low returns on fixed rate securities have finally translated into the risk taking behavior we would normally have seen four years ago.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Consistent with the market’s increasingly aggressive tone during the first quarter, what we consider our more dynamic, higher growth stocks were our best performers. These included Zillow, Seattle Genetics, Angie’s List, Sourcefire, and Shutterfly. By contrast, the stocks we consider to be our highest quality holdings generally struggled to keep pace. Some, such as Copart, Mednax, and Ultimate Software Group, performed roughly in line with the market. Others, such as HEICO, Hibbett Sports, and Techne, lagged the market.

The Fund’s information technology stocks made a solid contribution. Within the sector, Sourcefire’s stock performed well for the period and was one of our biggest contributors. This rapidly growing technology company sells network security software and hardware.

Health care was another sector that saw strong returns across the board. Abaxis, a maker of medical diagnostic tests, was one of our top performers for the quarter. The trend toward greater efficiency in the delivery of health care is helping the company’s business. Physicians and their assistants can use Abaxis products to rapidly diagnose and treat routine illnesses without having to send patient samples to off-site laboratories and wait for test results.

Polypore International was one of our biggest detractors for the quarter. Polypore’s filtration membrane technology is used in batteries for high growth areas of the consumer electronics market. In addition, the company has a growing and profitable line of filtration membranes sold to the health care sector for use in such products as kidney dialysis machines. We believe that the consumer electronics and health care segments of Polypore’s business largely support the stock’s current valuation. Polypore also makes filtration membranes for the lithium batteries used in electric cars. Although currently a small part of the company’s overall business, Polypore is the leader in this industry. The stock has been quite volatile, as automobile manufacturers have reported mixed success selling hybrid and all-electric vehicles. We believe automobile electrification is an inevitable step in our nation’s journey toward energy independence, and we are therefore willing to bear the volatility associated with this kind of emerging technology.

Fusion-io, Inc. is a lower weight position that fell sharply and was also a large detractor. The company specializes in solid-state memory technology that is disruptive to traditional hard disk drive storage architectures. This kind of disruptive technology is always accompanied by extreme competition from incumbents fighting a losing battle as well as from emerging companies jockeying for position in a very large potential market.

OUTLOOK

If the U.S. were a company, it could be said that the income statement is beginning to show improvement. However, the country’s debt-laden balance sheet remains very poor. The modest growth that’s been achieved in recent years has, in a very real sense, been “purchased” through the accumulation of debt. Of course, there is a limit to how far this strategy can be taken, and policymakers in Washington are struggling to define the boundaries of that limit.

Our view, therefore, is that U.S. economic growth is gaining momentum yet our expectations are for less-than-normal long run economic growth. Stock market valuations, while not excessively rich, are not as attractive as they had been. While risky stocks are currently leading the market, over the long run we believe our style of investing in high quality companies that have the potential to double earnings every five years makes sense in a subdued economic environment.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The year began on a strong note for the stock market, as investors and businesses alike reacted positively to improved clarity regarding the political environment. Throughout the latter half of 2012, lack of visibility regarding the election outcome and federal tax policy helped put a lid on business sentiment. The resolution of these issues boosted confidence and prompted corporations to get “back to

business.” This positive shift, in combination with modestly improving economic growth and continued accommodation from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), helped fuel a rally of 11.63% in the benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. The Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund — Investor Class returned 10.20% in the first quarter.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

We employ a unique approach in that we divide the universe of small cap value stocks into three categories:

 

  Ÿ  

Fallen Angels — fundamentally sound, growing companies whose stocks have temporarily slid into value territory

  Ÿ  

Undiscovered Gems — companies whose current valuations do not reflect what we believe is their true value

  Ÿ  

Quality Value — stocks that possess traditional value characteristics but have a specific quality that sets them apart — such as an exceptional business model or strong balance sheet and cash flow.

Undiscovered Gems were the Fund’s best performing group during the quarter, led by Copart, Inc. and DXP Enterprises, Inc. Copart operates a stable business as the country’s leading auction company for wrecked cars. The company’s expansion into international markets gives us confidence that the stock can still be a multi-year story. DXP, a newer holding, distributes replacement parts to the industrial and energy markets. We purchased the stock on the belief that it would be a prime long-run beneficiary of the resurgence in North American drilling and oil production, and this began to be reflected in DXP’s stock price during the quarter.

We see the North American drilling story as a powerful long-term theme not just for DXP, but also for a number of small cap companies positioned to benefit from rising domestic energy production, including Flotek Industries, Inc., Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. and CARBO Ceramics, Inc. The common theme among these companies is that they don’t drill for oil and gas themselves, but they provide services and equipment to companies that do — a powerful “pick and shovel” model that we believe has the potential to fuel longer-term growth as drilling activity rises. We also own two drillers, Ultra Petroleum Corp. and Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Northern is a “Quality Value” stock that detracted from first quarter performance after the company

was challenged with higher expenses. We continue to hold the stock on the belief that the company is effectively managing the higher costs.

Our “Fallen Angel” strategy generally underperformed our expectations during the quarter. The stocks in this group are in various stages of recovery from internal stumbles or broader industry downturns. A number of consumer stocks in the Fallen Angel category struggled due to investor concerns about consumer spending given the tax increase, persistently high unemployment and budget cuts. For instance, Chico’s FAS, Inc. and rue21, Inc. underperformed the Index during the quarter even though they have delivered consistent fundamental improvements. Two other underperformers, Skullcandy, Inc. and Body Central Corp., struggled with product/fashion challenges and management changes. We exited our position in Skullcandy due to continued competition and the departure of the CEO.

On the plus side, we benefited from the Fallen Angel USANA Health Sciences, Inc., a multi-level marketing company whose stock was hit hard amid the high-profile controversy surrounding Herbalife* earlier in the quarter. We have followed USANA for many years, so we were prepared to take advantage of this sell-off by establishing a position at a discounted price. The stock subsequently rebounded more than 30%, and finished the period as one of the Fund’s top contributors.

Quality Value names were solid performers in the quarter, led by new holding Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. We purchased Arbor late in 2012 after seeing improved results from a management team that we have known for almost a decade. Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. also gained ground as the demand for roofing materials rebounded in conjunction with the recovery in the housing market.

OUTLOOK

The strong return of the U.S. stock market in the first quarter likely indicates that performance will be somewhat muted through the end of the year. Still, all of the factors that propelled the market higher in the first quarter — easy Fed policy, modest economic growth and healthy corporate earnings — should continue to provide support in the months ahead.

A more important consideration for us is that the small cap space continues to offer a wealth of opportunities for value-oriented investors. An important attribute of the asset class is that individual stock performance tends to be driven more by company-level developments than by broader, macroeconomic factors, which creates a steady inflow of new companies into our Fallen Angel and Quality Value categories. As always, we devote our efforts to researching such companies to identify whether they meet our strict criteria for inclusion in the Fund — a disciplined approach that we believe has the potential to translate into strong results over the long term.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Performance for the Institutional Class prior to 1/31/2012 is based on the performance of the Investor Class. Performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class prior to 1/31/2012 uses the actual expenses of the Fund’s Investor Class without any adjustments. For any such period of time, the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class would have been substantially similar to, yet higher than, the performance of the Fund’s Investor Class, because the shares of both classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes bear different expenses.

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

OVERVIEW

 

The total return for the Wasatch Strategic Income Fund during the first quarter was an unexpectedly robust 12.87%. This is a sizable return in a very short period of time. Further, this return was on top of an 11.29% gain during 2012. While we are happy to receive such a reward, we are highly skeptical that this level of performance can continue.

For comparison purposes, our S&P 500 Index benchmark returned 10.61%

for the quarter while bond returns, as reflected by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, were relatively flat. For the past 12 months, the Fund similarly outperformed both of these benchmarks, besting the 13.96% return of the S&P 500 by almost one percentage point and the 3.77% return of the bond benchmark by over 11 percentage points.

Rather than glory in this higher-than-expected performance, we are looking for any and all ways to reduce the risk of the Fund in an attempt to avoid losing what we have attained.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

This has been a particularly satisfying quarter as some of the tough decisions we made in the past bore fruit during the last three months.

As you may recall Herbalife Ltd., a direct marketer of health supplements, suffered a large price decline due to two successive attacks by short sellers, one during the first half of 2012 and the other just before year-end. As a result of these attacks, the stock price fell from over $70 to nearly $24 and closed the year at about $33. We studied the short sellers’ arguments carefully to see if we could discover anything amiss in our positive view of the company. As we could find no substance to these arguments, we decided to add to our holdings as the stock declined, including buying more near the bottom. While the short sellers remain active, Herbalife reported a strong fourth quarter. The stock rose to above $46, before closing the first quarter at about $37, which added approximately one percentage point to our quarterly return. While our holdings are still underwater, we continue to believe that Herbalife has a solid business, which is selling for less than eight times next year’s earnings.

The story of our holding in Best Buy Co., Inc. is somewhat similar. Early in 2012, Best Buy’s stock was selling for over $27. During the year, the price declined steadily to close the year at about $12. Investors worried (and the company’s results seemed to reflect) that shoppers were using Best Buy stores as a showroom to check out the products they were interested in, but then buying online to take advantage of greater convenience and lower prices. We not only made the decision to hold on to Best Buy, but we also continued to add to our position as the price became more attractive. Our rationale for doing so was two-fold. First, Apple has

demonstrated the tremendous value of having an actual store for customers to enjoy a hands-on experience with products they are considering. Other consumer-electronics manufacturers (Samsung, Motorola, etc.) generally rely on Best Buy and other stores to provide their customers with a hands-on experience. Because Best Buy is actually a key partner in their supply chain, manufacturers need to support its efforts to stay in business. Second, during the year, new management with experience in corporate turnarounds came to Best Buy. We believe they will be successful. As results were reported during the quarter, investors became more optimistic that the company would survive and marked its stock price up to about $22.

In reaction to the Strategic Income Fund’s strong return for the first quarter, our response has been aimed at reducing risk. To paraphrase Ben Stein, “If something is too good to be true, it isn’t true.” Were we market timers, it would be tempting to stand aside and hold cash for the remainder of the year, declaring that the almost 13% we earned during the quarter was a perfectly adequate return for the entire year. As the old saying goes, “Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered.”

We believe the most important way of containing risk is to simply do our jobs well — pay fair prices for stocks in companies that have both the willingness and ability to pay a growing stream of dividends.

OUTLOOK

The Federal Reserve and central bankers around the globe have been holding interest rates on government debt artificially low with the goal of driving up asset prices. Ultimately, another goal of these artificially low rates is to stimulate the global economy. Judging by the prices of assets (including stocks), low rates seem to have accomplished the first goal. Unfortunately, regarding the second goal, the economy has yet to respond robustly. Our outlook is colored by the fact that artificially high stock prices don’t bode well for future returns. Just the opposite, in fact. So we have been relatively quick in taking our gains and trying to limit our losses. We continually examine the Fund’s portfolio with the goal of finding ways to limit risk.

Thank you for the opportunity to invest your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

For the first quarter of 2013, the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund posted a gain of 8.62% and lagged the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which rose 13.21%. U.S. equity markets rallied strongly as

signs of a firming U.S. housing market helped boost stocks against a backdrop of accommodative Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and low inflation.

The U.S. economic picture continues to be one in which gross domestic product (GDP) growth averages between 2% and 3%, as high debt burdens tend to dampen spending by governments and households. In our view, the question to be answered is whether the stock market is being lifted by a broad-based recovery across autos, housing, employment and other key areas of the economy, or whether stocks are rising due to yet another bubble engineered by the Fed. As bottom-up managers, we have no intention of trying to position the Fund based on the outcome (whatever it may be) and instead remain focused on investing in interesting, rapidly growing companies that are disrupting their industries and taking market share away from competitors.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Two of our best-performing stocks for the first quarter were SciQuest and Interactive Intelligence Group. SciQuest provides cloud-based, on-demand strategic procurement and supplier management solutions to help customers reduce costs by managing their suppliers, contracts, purchases and payments. SciQuest has been making significant investments in sales and marketing and has built out its product portfolio. These initiatives have been paying off and the company’s organic growth rate has been accelerating.

Interactive Intelligence provides communications and workflow management software for contact centers. The company is transitioning from an on-premise to a cloud-based solution, and is rolling out a second cloud-based solution targeting small and mid-size businesses. Interactive Intelligence’s cash flow looks good, as do bookings and revenues.

Cardiovascular Systems is a rapidly growing medical-device company that was another one of our best performers. The company develops and sells products for the removal of hard plaque and calcium deposits from leg arteries in minimally invasive procedures. Cardiovascular Systems serves a previously unmet medical need that allows a significant percentage of vascular-disease patients to avoid amputation. The company is shifting to a new battery-powered product that is simpler, less expensive and easier to use.

Polypore International was our biggest detractor in the first quarter. Polypore makes filtration membranes used in batteries, including the lead-acid batteries used in conventional automobiles and the lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics and electric cars. In addition, the company has a growing and profitable business selling high-technology filters to the health care sector for use in such products as kidney dialysis machines. We believe the conventional-automobile and rapidly growing consumer-electronics battery segments of Polypore’s business, together with its health care segment, largely support the stock’s current valuation. While the stock declined in the first quarter amid uncertainty about the timing for meaningful adoption of electric cars, we believe the inevitability of automobile electrification and Polypore’s leadership position in the membrane-filtration industry justify a positive long-term outlook for the company and the stock.

Riverbed Technology and DFC Global also were big detractors. Riverbed historically has been one of the fastest-growing tech companies, as its technology allows data to travel much more efficiently across computer networks, especially to remote areas of the network. The company has done so well that it has captured over 50% of the market. However, market-share gains have diminished as the company has become larger. This trend has resulted in slower growth rates.

DFC Global is a retail finance company providing services to consumers who typically do not have bank accounts. The company has significant exposure in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Canada. Approximately 50% of DFC’s revenues are derived from the U.K., which is experiencing a changing regulatory environment. Amid the uncertainty, the company has slowed its growth and is adjusting to new rules.

OUTLOOK

Unresolved concerns resulting primarily from high levels of debt are likely to persist for some time. The U.S. fiscal cliff has not been fully resolved, and the issues of federal spending and taxation are likely to remain at center stage until policymakers demonstrate greater willingness to come to grips with them. Europe shares many of the same problems as the U.S., and the situation there is being compounded by recession. China appears to have escaped a hard landing, at least for now. Although the numbers are not impressive, the Chinese economy appears to be picking up.

Meanwhile, the U.S. housing sector clearly is one of the biggest barometers of future economic activity. The Fed has targeted this sector in its attempt to get the economy moving, and the Fed’s extraordinary efforts appear to be gaining traction. Building products and home goods have shown strength in recent quarters, and the question now is whether or not the recovery has achieved enough momentum to become self-perpetuating. Artificially low interest rates have pulled demand forward and boosted the stock market — it now remains to be seen if this will become a sustainable economic recovery.

OVERVIEW

 

The Wasatch World Innovators Fund gained 8.42% in the first quarter, beating the 6.90% return of its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Investable Market Index.

The key fundamental metrics we

track when comparing the Fund’s portfolio to the benchmark are sales growth and earnings per share (EPS) growth. We think a portfolio of true World Innovators should excel on these metrics because an innovator’s dramatically better products and services should fuel rapid market share gains, which in turn should translate into sales growth well above the growth rate of the average company. Furthermore, we expect that an innovator’s business model should benefit from scale economies that enable its earnings growth to outpace its sales growth. Our portfolio’s median sales and EPS annual growth rates in the most recent quarter were 13.7% and 9.0%, respectively.

We are concerned, however, that the EPS of our holdings grew more slowly than their sales for the second consecutive quarter. We have done some research to determine why our portfolio companies’ margins are down, and we think this short-term development is mostly transitional as companies move from defensive cash-conservation strategies — a legacy of the financial crisis — to more aggressive investment and growth plans. In other words, the under-investment from 2009 to 2010 resulted in peak margins in the earlier stages of the global economy’s recovery, but as growth has accelerated, renewed hiring and investment are dragging on margins. Nevertheless, we will be especially focused on the direction the margins of our companies are heading in the coming quarters.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

Perhaps the most satisfying result of the first quarter was the strong performance of Herbalife, a direct marketer of health supplements that was the Fund’s top contributor. Herbalife provided some unwelcome excitement to the Fund’s previous quarter as the stock was subjected to its second well-publicized attack from short sellers (i.e., those that bet against a stock) in 2012. This time, the imbroglio was dragged into the spotlight at the hands of Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn, two of the country’s most famous hedge fund managers. Ackman has a large short position while Icahn has a big long position, and the two men proceeded to publicly argue their views on Herbalife, with lots of personal jabs included to enhance the dramatic effect.

We studied the short sellers’ arguments to see if we could discover anything amiss in our positive view of Herbalife. Finding no substance to these arguments, we decided to add to our holdings as the stock declined during 2012. While the short sellers remain active, Herbalife reported strong December financial results, at which point we sold a portion of our shares. We continue to hold Herbalife on the belief that it has a solid business that can be bought for what we consider to be a more-than-reasonable eight times next year’s earnings.

IntercontinentalExchange was the Fund’s second-largest contributor. This investment reflects our attempt to gain more exposure to financials, usually considered a commoditized sector with little innovation. Our dilemma in selecting financial stocks is the difficulty of finding those that offer meaningful innovation. The primary reason we wanted to add exposure is that the performance of financials tends to have a distinct negative correlation with the performance of information technology stocks, a sector in which we are perpetually above market-weight due to the abundance of innovative companies. Some of IntercontinentalExchange’s strong performance during the quarter was driven by its bid to acquire NYSE Euronext* (operator of the New York Stock Exchange). Investors gained confidence that the company’s management of the NYSE would prove to be more effective than the existing management.

On the other side of the ledger, our largest detractor for the quarter was Apple. While we made a good decision to trim Apple on the belief that the enthusiasm surrounding the successful launch of the iPhone 5 was overdone, the magnitude of our trade was small in comparison with the size of our position. We maintained this position because we remain confident in our basic thesis that Apple is the premier consumer electronics company and that it is gaining ever more share among corporate users. Additionally, we think being able to buy Apple’s stock at nine to 10 times trailing earnings is a great price to pay in order to own this premier global brand, especially in light of its large cash balance.

OUTLOOK

With global economic reports surprisingly positive during the past quarter and year, anchored by the performance of the United States, stock markets have fared well. We are glad the Fund has slightly outpaced the bull market in light of our substantial overweight in the information technology sector, which along with energy and materials has been a weak spot within the benchmark. We believe we were able to achieve this result with good stock picking, a testament to the merits of owning companies we consider to be World Innovators.

Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

OVERVIEW

 

The Fund returned 0.26% during the first quarter and matched the performance of the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. Most of the Fund’s quarterly performance came from improvement in the yields of non-Treasury bonds. Riskier credits and assets continue to be supported by the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy of low interest rates and asset purchases.

U.S. economic growth was essentially flat in the fourth quarter of 2012. But in the first quarter of 2013, the economy showed some signs of growth returning to near 2%. House prices continued to be a bright spot for the Federal Reserve (Fed), banks and especially consumers. Despite high unemployment, stagnant wages, and increased payroll taxes, consumers have been spending. Home price appreciation can factor into consumer’s propensity to spend even if they are not tapping the equity in their homes.

Persistent economic growth has many observers wondering how much longer extraordinary monetary policy accommodation will be necessary. Chairman Ben Bernanke restated the Fed’s position of continuing to buy bonds until the economy can sustainably grow on its own.

During the past few months, the U.S. investment markets have had to manage through three significant U.S. government-induced hurdles — the fiscal cliff, budget cuts and fiscal year funding. The first two were small down payments on improving the country’s trillion-dollar deficit and the third keeps the government open through its fiscal year-end in September. Tax increases and spending cuts could lower the deficit by $147 billion per year. It now seems likely that the U.S. deficit will be less than a trillion dollars at the close of the fiscal year, which will end a record four consecutive years of deficits of that size. While that is good news and the bond markets have shown no concern about the credit quality of the U.S., legislators still need to address unsustainable imbalances in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — which, in the coming five years, will more than offset all of the recent budget improvements.

Three signs of consumers’ improving financial health are auto and home sales and employment numbers. The auto industry has experienced a renaissance with Chrysler, General Motors and Ford posting improved sales and strong profits. Home prices, sales and starts have seen modest improvements after a persistent downward slide over the past five years. Case/Shiller, a firm that measures home prices nationwide, reported that for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 the average price of a home in the U.S. improved by 6.8% year-over-year, marking the third consecutive quarterly increase for the first time since 2006. Home sales also continued to improve and are back to an average of five million per year. Data for housing starts show improvement in the rate of homes being built to nearly one million per year after falling below 600,000 in 2009. The improvement in housing has been directly driven by the

Fed’s monetary policy of keeping interest rates low by buying mortgage-backed securities. Several other government programs, such as HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program), are also helping by allowing homeowners who owe more than the current value of their homes to lower their monthly payments. This has kept many homes from going into foreclosure, and has limited the housing supply thus helping pricing.

Our current strategy of underweighting U.S. Treasury securities and interest rate risk in the Fund is still in place. The Fund currently has about 10% of its assets in Treasuries, well below the Index weight of 64%. The Fund is overweight relative to the Index in government agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities and credit markets. The Fund’s effective duration is 3.3 years, unchanged from last quarter and is 84% of the benchmark’s duration.

Corporate earnings were solid in the first quarter and, as a group, corporations’ credit characteristics appear strong. We have been comfortable with the Fund’s modest exposure to BBB-rated bonds. The Fund is overweight in A-rated bonds at 27% of the portfolio versus 14% in the Index. JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Comcast are examples of A-rated bonds bought during the quarter.*

The Fund’s exposure to mortgage-backed securities has been little changed. In the last several months, various government agencies and programs have made refinancing more attractive to borrowers. We have recently made a couple of trades to offset the potential for mortgage prepayments as homeowners refinance. We have also had to consider the risk that eventually interest rates will rise and slow prepayments. This conundrum is why we have not added to our weighting in these securities.

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

 

 * A credit rating is an assessment of the credit worthiness of individuals and corporations. It is based upon the history of borrowing and repayment, as well as the availability of assets and extent of liabilities. Ratings are issued by S&P or Moody’s and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The credit quality of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio does not apply to the safety or stability of the Fund. Ratings and portfolio credit quality may change over time. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency.

OVERVIEW

 

In the first six months of the current fiscal year, economic growth was very erratic and below the threshold needed to boost job creation. The average monthly increase in payroll jobs was 168,000 in the first quarter, down from 208,000 in fourth quarter and 262,000 per month in the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter job numbers still have very favorable seasonal factors as a result of the 2008 to 2009 recession.

Thus, the numbers are even worse than they seem. But taken at face value, 120,000 fewer jobs were added than in the fourth quarter of 2012 and almost 300,000 fewer than the first quarter of 2012. Household employment fell from October through March and the average increase in the past 12 months was only 105,000 per month. Many of these jobs were part-time and at very low pay. In the first quarter of 2012, manufacturing jobs rose 113,000 versus a minimal rise this year and a small decline in March. Not surprisingly, consumer spending contracted as the first quarter ended and consumer confidence measures slumped to recessionary levels.

Not taking into account a 2% hike in payroll taxes, March average hourly earnings were up just 1.8% year-over-year. Even though inflation was minimal, wage earners’ income fell further in the first quarter. Huge numbers of people continued to drop out of the labor market, with the labor force participation rate at the lowest level since 1979 — a stark indication of how discouraged the unemployed are at the possibility of being able to find work.

DETAILS OF THE QUARTER

The Wasatch-Hoisington Treasury Fund registered a return of -3.84% in the first quarter of 2013, compared to -0.12% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. In spite of erratic business conditions and poor labor markets, the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield rose slightly, closing the quarter at 3.06% compared with 2.95% on the final day of 2012. This resulted in a negative return for the Fund in the first quarter due to the Fund’s focus on long-term Treasury bonds, which fall in price when yields rise.

Yields rose in the first calendar quarter in each of the past four years. We attribute this increase to typical seasonal volatility that occurs early in the year. Seasonally, interest rates are usually at their yearly highs between late February and mid-May. In fact, in 15 of the last 21 years the 30-year Treasury bond yield has peaked in the first half of the year. Inflationary conditions, the key long-run determinant of Treasury bond yields, continued to moderate in the first quarter, as commodity prices fell and the dollar rose in the foreign currency markets.

Over the past year the Fund performed extremely well, posting a 7.44% increase versus just 3.77% for the Index. On the last trading day of the first quarter in 2012, the 30-year Treasury bond yield stood at 3.34%. While yields rose in the quarter, they decreased over the past 12 months.

Over the latest 3-, 5- and 10-year intervals, the Fund posted compound annual returns of 15.36%, 9.69% and 8.22%. These returns exceeded the performance of the Index for each period.

OUTLOOK

Our present economic situation is nearly unparalleled in American economic history. The 1.8% average rise in gross domestic product (GDP) in the 13 years of this century was less than half the 3.8% GDP growth rate since 1790. Only growth in the 1930s was less than in the 2000s. The slowing expansion over the past five years points to the counterproductive influences of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) unprecedented balance-sheet explosion. These efforts have slowed real income growth and exacerbated the wealth and income divide. Another major problem that has contributed to such lost potential is extreme over-indebtedness.

Credible academic research indicates that economies lose considerable growth when government debt exceeds 90% to 100% of GDP and private debt rises above 160% to 175% of GDP. Countries that comprise 75% of global GDP have already met these conditions. The financial and other markets do not seem to reflect the reality of subdued growth and a declining standard of living. Stock prices are high, or at least back to levels reached more than a decade ago, and bond yields contain a significant inflationary expectations premium. Stock and commodity prices have risen in concert with the announcement of QE1, QE2 and QE3. Theoretically, as well as from a long-term historical perspective, such a link between an expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet and these markets is lacking. Over the short run, psychology or irrational market behavior can override such fundamentals. This suggests that when expectations shift from inflation to deflation, irrational behavior might adjust risk asset prices significantly. Such signs that a shift is beginning can be viewed in the commodity markets where the Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index peaked about two years ago at 691, but now stands at 551, a 20% decline despite massive Fed balance-sheet expansion. The ability of the Fed to arrest a downside irrational move in risk assets may be limited. Non-risk assets such as U.S. Treasuries, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and are viewed as carrying minimal credit risk, have the potential to benefit from such a shift in perception.

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

WASATCH FUNDS MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS  Definitions of  Financial Terms   MARCH 31, 2013

 

 

 

Alpha is a risk-adjusted measure of the so-called “excess return” on an investment. It is a common measure of assessing an active manager’s performance, as it is the return in excess of a benchmark index or “risk-free” investment. The difference between the fair and actually expected rates of return on a stock is called the stock’s alpha.

Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given stock relative to the overall market. A beta above one is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below one is less volatile.

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

The “cloud” is the Internet. Cloud-computing is a model for delivering information technology services in which resources are retrieved from the Internet through web-based tools and applications, rather than from a direct connection to a server.

The Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index measures the overall direction of commodity sectors. The CRB is designed to isolate and reveal the directional movement of prices in overall commodity trades. Generally commodity prices move in the opposite direction of bond prices. This is because inflation causes commodities to increase in price while devaluing the price of bonds. This is one of the reasons bond and commodity traders closely watch the CRB.

Correlation, in the financial world, is a statistical measure of how asset classes, securities, markets, or countries move in relation to each other.

Dividend yield is a company’s annual dividend payments divided by its market capitalization, or the dividend per share divided by the price per share. For example, a company whose stock sells for $30 per share that pays an annual dividend of $3 per share has a dividend yield of 10%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is the most widely used indicator of the overall condition of the U.S. stock market. It is a price-weighted average of 30 blue chip stocks, primarily industrial stocks, traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The stocks are chosen by the editors of the Wall Street Journal, which is published by Dow Jones & Company.

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

Earnings-per-share or EPS is the portion of a company’s profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. EPS growth rates help investors identify companies that are increasing or decreasing in profitability.

Effective duration is a measure of the responsiveness of a bond’s price to market interest rate changes. For example, if

the interest rate increased 1%, a bond with an effective duration of five years would experience a decline in price of 5%.

The “fiscal cliff” is the term given to the spending cuts and tax increases that would occur automatically if the U.S. Congress did not address them by the end of 2012.

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

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

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

Mortgage-backed securities are debt issues backed by a pool of mortgages. Investors receive payments from the interest and principal payments made on the underlying mortgages.

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

Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity. QE1, QE2 and QE3 are popular nicknames for the three rounds of quantitative easing implemented by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Return on equity (ROE) measures a company’s efficiency at generating profits from shareholders’ equity.

Return on investment (ROI) is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of investments. ROI is calculated by dividing the return of an investment by the cost of the investment. The result is expressed as a percentage or ratio.

“Risk-on” is when investors are seeking the potentially higher returns of riskier assets and put money back in the market willing to risk the money, thus risk on.

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

Sales growth is the increase in sales over a specified period of time, not necessarily one year.

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

WASATCH FUNDS OPERATING EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)   MARCH 31, 2013

 

 

 

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended March 31, 2013.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, based upon the actual total return of the fund during the most recent six month period ended March 31, 2013. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

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

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

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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

1. ORGANIZATION

Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and consists of 20 series or funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Long/Short Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Ultra Growth Fund, World Innovators Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund (“Income Fund”) (sub-advised), and Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (“U.S. Treasury Fund”) (sub-advised) are each diversified funds. The Emerging India Fund, Emerging Markets Select Fund and Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund are non-diversified funds. Each Fund maintains its own investment objective.

On November 9, 2011, the Trust re-designated the shares of the Funds into Investor Class shares effective January 31, 2012, and authorized and designated a new Institutional Class of shares in the Funds. Currently, five funds offer Institutional Class shares: Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, which commenced operations on January 31, 2012, as well as the Emerging Markets Select Fund and Long/Short Fund, which commenced operations on December 13, 2012. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to purchase minimums, distribution and service charges, shareholder services, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange and conversion features. The Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement with Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Wasatch”) as investment advisor.

The Core Growth, Emerging India, Emerging Markets Select, Emerging Markets Small Cap, Frontier Emerging Small Countries, Global Opportunities, Heritage Growth, International Growth, International Opportunities, Large Cap Value, Long/Short, Micro Cap, Micro Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Strategic Income, Ultra Growth and World Innovators Funds are referred to herein as the “Equity Funds.”

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant policies related to investments of the Funds held at March 31, 2013. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

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

Foreign Currency Translations — Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend income are translated into U.S. dollars using the current prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date. The effect of changes

in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities is reflected as a component of such gains or losses. Transactions in foreign denominated assets may involve greater risks than domestic transactions.

At March 31, 2013, the foreign currencies held by the Funds were as follows (amounts in U.S. dollars):

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

Expenses — The Funds contract for various services on a collective basis. Most expenses are directly attributable to each Fund and therefore are charged accordingly. Expenses that are not directly attributable to one or more Funds are

allocated among applicable Funds on an equitable and consistent basis considering such things as the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds.

Use of Management Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

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

New Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” These common disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement (agreement with a counterparty that mitigates its credit exposure in the event of default. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on financial statements.

Other — Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as certain shareholder servicing fees.

3. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an

underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase and the fund to resell the obligation at an agreed upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be at least equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

Short Sales — The Long/Short Fund and to a lesser extent the other Equity Funds may enter into short sales whereby a fund sells a security it generally does not own (the security is borrowed), in anticipation of a decline in the security’s price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of the short liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. If a Fund shorts a security when also holding a long position in the security (a “short against the box”), as the security’s price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position’s decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security’s price rises. A Fund realizes a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the counterparty by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from security purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The Funds are liable to the buyer for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are an expense of the Funds. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions.

4. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

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

Options Transactions — The Equity Funds and the Income Fund may buy and sell put and call options and write covered put and call options, including over-the-counter options, on portfolio securities where the

completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of another party. Options are a type of derivative financial instrument. The Funds may invest in derivative financial instruments, including options, in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. The risk in writing a call option is that a fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that a fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that a fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. A fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Possible losses from uncovered written options may be unlimited. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. A fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of written options.

5. DISTRIBUTIONS

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

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

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders. The Funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2009. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total of amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.

As of March 31, 2013, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities on a tax basis were as follows:

On December 22, 2010, The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed by the President of the United States of America. Under the Modernization Act, a Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.

Capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2012 with no expiration are as follows:

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Fees, Expense Limitations — As the Funds’ investment advisor, the Advisor receives a monthly fee calculated on average daily net assets. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain Funds should a Fund’s operating expenses exceed a specified annual limitation through at least January 31, 2014. If operating expenses are less than the specified expense limit for the Fund, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of the fees waived or reduced to the extent that the operating expenses and the amounts reimbursed do not exceed such expense limit for the Fund, under the period of the agreement (currently the 12 months commencing January 31, 2013). Such reimbursement shall be paid only while the expense limitation agreement is in effect and only if such amount paid, together with all other amounts reimbursed under this agreement in the fiscal year, does not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation. All amounts not recovered at the end of the period expire on January 31, 2014. Ordinary operating expenses exclude any interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. The costs of the Proxy Statement related to the identification and shareholder approval of Trustee Nominees were treated as extraordinary expenses in the 2010 fiscal year. The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights. Investment advisory fees and fees waived, if any, for the period ended March 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Investment advisory fee and expense limitation annual rates are shown below.

Affiliated Trades — Certain Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Funds from or to another fund (or funds) that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, each transaction is effected at the current market price, as that term is defined under the procedures. During the period ended March 31, 2013, the Funds had no purchases or sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.

Institutional Class Legal Fees — As disclosed in the annual report dated September 30, 2011, the Board approved a multi-class plan pursuant to which the Board has established and designated two classes for each series known as Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares. The Advisor paid the legal costs associated with the establishment and designation of the new share classes for existing funds.

Payments by Advisor — During the 2012 fiscal year the Advisor discovered a trade allocation error involving several of the Wasatch Funds. In August 2012, the Advisor reimbursed the Global Opportunities Fund $1,167, the Micro Cap Fund $1,074, the Micro Cap Value Fund $1,282, the Small Cap growth Fund $46,199, the Ultra Growth Fund $940 and the World Innovators Fund $437 as reimbursement for the error plus interest. The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights.

13. LINE OF CREDIT

The Equity Funds opened two lines of credit totaling $75,000,000, one of which is $25,000,000 uncommitted, and the other of which is $50,000,000 committed, with State Street Bank and Trust Company on June 4, 2007 (together, the “Line”). As of May 25, 2012, the Board approved use of the Line by all funds in the Trust. The Line is for temporary or emergency purposes such as to provide liquidity for shareholder redemptions. The Funds incur commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the committed part of the Line, and interest expense to the extent of amounts drawn (borrowed) under the entire Line. Interest is based on the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin, or (b) the overnight London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin. Commitment fees are pro-rated among the Funds based upon relative average net assets. Interest expense is charged directly to a fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by the Fund.

For the period ended March 31, 2013, the following Funds had borrowings:

14. PRINCIPAL RISKS

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

Non-Diversification Risk — A non-diversified fund can invest a larger portion of its assets in the stocks of a limited number of companies than a diversified fund, which means it may have more exposure to the price movements of a single security or small group of securities than funds that diversify their investments among many companies. The Emerging India, Emerging Markets Select and Frontier Emerging Small Countries Funds are non-diversified.

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

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

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

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

Shareholder Concentration Risk — A significant portion of the net assets of the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund and International Opportunities Fund are owned by a group of shareholders advised by a common investment advisor. If this group of shareholders simultaneously redeems on the advice of their investment advisor, Fund expenses may increase and performance may be materially affected. However, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund and the International Opportunities Fund should their operating expenses exceed 2.25% through at least January 31, 2014.

15. SECURITIES VALUATION

Equity securities (common and preferred stock) — Securities are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued using a commercial pricing service at the last quoted sales price taken from the primary market in which each security trades and, with respect to equity securities traded on NASDAQ, such securities are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) or last sales price if no NOCP is available. If there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a day, then the security shall be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service. If the mean cannot be calculated or there is no trade activity on a day, then the security shall be valued at the previous trading day’s price as provided by a pricing service. In some instances, particularly on foreign exchanges, an official close or evaluated price may be used if the pricing service is unable to provide the last trade or most recent mean price. To the extent that these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 16). Additionally, a fund’s investments are valued at fair value by the Pricing Committee if the Advisor determines that an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security’s primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the fund’s share price is calculated. Significant events include, but are not limited to the following: significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant governmental actions; and major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Pricing Committee determines the fair value of affected securities by considering factors including, but not limited to: index options and futures traded subsequent to the close; American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) or other related receipts; currency spot or forward markets that trade after pricing of the foreign exchange; other derivative securities traded after the close such as Standard & Poor’s Depositary

Receipts (“SPDRs”) and other exchange traded funds (“ETFs”); and alternative market quotes on the affected securities. When applicable, the Funds use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to assist in adjusting the valuation of foreign securities. When a Fund uses this fair value pricing method, the values assigned to the fund’s foreign securities may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges and the securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These valuation procedures apply equally to long or short equity positions in a fund.

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

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

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

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

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

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

As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate amount of fair valued securities, excluding any foreign securities fair valued pursuant to a systematic fair valuation model, as a percentage of net assets for the Funds was as follows:

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

  Ÿ  

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

  Ÿ  

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

  Ÿ  

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

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

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

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of March 31, 2013 in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities:

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE WASATCH EMERGING MARKETS SELECT FUND

At a meeting held on August 15, 2012, (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory and Service Contract (the “New Fund Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Wasatch Advisors, Inc., (the “Advisor”) on behalf of the Wasatch Emerging Markets Select Fund (the “New Fund”).

In advance of the meeting, the Board and independent legal counsel received materials and other information which outlined, among other things:

Ÿ  

the terms and conditions of the New Fund Advisory Agreement, including the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the New Fund by the Advisor;

Ÿ  

the organization and business operations of the Advisor, including the experience of persons who will manage the New Fund;

Ÿ  

the proposed management fees of the Advisor, including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable, unaffiliated funds prepared by an independent third party;

Ÿ  

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

Ÿ  

the profitability of the Advisor for advisory services; and

Ÿ  

the soft dollar practices of the Advisor.

During the previous day, the Independent Trustees also had met privately with their legal counsel to review the Board’s duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider, among other things, the approval of the New Fund Advisory Agreement. With this background, the Independent Trustees considered the approval of the New Fund Advisory Agreement for the New Fund.

The Independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Independent Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to the New Fund, including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor; (b) the performance of the Advisor; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits estimated to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the New Fund grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect any such economies of scale.

 

A.   NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor, the Independent Trustees reviewed the information regarding the types of services (advisory and non-advisory or administrative) to be provided under the New Fund Advisory Agreement for the New Fund; narrative and statistical information concerning the Advisor’s performance record with other funds it advises; and information describing the Advisor’s organization and business. Further, given the Independent Trustees’ experience with other Wasatch Funds, the Independent Trustees noted that they were familiar with and have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of the Advisor, including its research department and personnel as well as the professional experience, qualifications and credentials of the proposed portfolio managers for the New Fund. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the New Fund under the New Fund Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.

 

B.   THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE NEW FUND

With respect to investment performance, it was noted that because the New Fund had not commenced operations and did not have its own performance history, the Board reviewed and considered performance information regarding the Advisor’s past performance record with other funds.

 

C.   FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY

 

1. Fees and Expenses

In evaluating the proposed management fees and expenses, the Independent Trustees considered the New Fund’s proposed management fee and expected expense ratio in absolute terms and as compared with the fees and expenses of a peer group of comparable unaffiliated funds provided by an independent third party. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the expense limitation agreement provided by the Advisor on behalf of each class of the New Fund. Although the Advisor did not currently manage other funds or separately managed accounts with the same investment style as the New Fund, the Independent Trustees had reviewed the fees charged by the Advisor for other funds (including an emerging markets fund) and other types of clients, including separate accounts and collective

 

 

143

WASATCH FUNDSSupplemental Information (continued)  

 

 

 

investment trusts. The Independent Trustees recognized the differences in services provided to separately managed accounts and those required in operating and managing registered investment companies, such as the New Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered the costs of the research personnel-intensive approach followed by the Advisor, the expected costs of investing in emerging markets and the overall expense structure of the New Fund and peer group. Based upon this information, the Independent Trustees noted that the proposed advisory fee was above the median in the peer group but recognized the experience and quality of the advisory services provided by the Advisor and the expected expenses in operating this type of Fund with the Advisor’s research approach.

 

2. Profitability of the Advisor

In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Trustees also considered the profitability of the Advisor for its advisory activities related to the Wasatch Funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed the Advisor’s profitability margin for 2011 and 2010. In considering profitability, the Independent Trustees recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors, including the allocation of expenses. In addition to reviewing the Advisor’s profitability, the Trustees also reviewed at the meeting or prior meetings the Advisor’s relative profitability compared to publicly available information concerning unaffiliated publicly traded investment managers. However, the Independent Trustees recognized the difficulties in comparing the profitability of various advisors given that, among other things, many of these managers are much larger than the Advisor, have different lines of business, may employ different expense allocations and charges, the profitability derived from individual funds or product lines is not generally publicly available and the profitability information of managers that is available may not be representative of the industry. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor is privately held and is taxed as a Subchapter S corporation, thus certain expenses had to be attributed and/or estimated. Based on their review, the Trustees were satisfied that the Advisor’s level of profitability was not unreasonable in light of the services to be provided.

 

C.   ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT ECONOMIES OF SCALE

In reviewing compensation, the Independent Trustees noted that, similar to other Wasatch funds, the proposed advisory fee schedule for the New Fund did not contain breakpoints that would reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Independent Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be one way for the benefits of any economies of scale to be shared with investors. The Trustees, however, recognized that as a New Fund with a small asset base, the Advisor generally must reimburse the New Fund for costs in excess of the expense limit until the New Fund has gained sufficient assets to be self-sustaining. Considering the above, the Independent Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the New Fund’s advisory fee schedule was acceptable.

D.   INDIRECT BENEFITS

In evaluating fees, the Independent Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Advisor or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the New Fund. In this regard, the Independent Trustees have reviewed information concerning the Advisor’s soft dollar arrangements, including its policies for allocating brokerage in exchange for brokerage and research services. In light of their experience, the Independent Trustees are familiar with the Advisor’s soft dollar arrangements and recognize that the Advisor’s profitability may be lower if the Advisor was required to pay for this research with hard dollars.

 

E.   APPROVAL OF NEW FUND ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the New Fund Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the services expected to be provided to the New Fund, and that the Advisory Agreement should be approved.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS FOR ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE WASATCH FUNDS FOR 2013

At a meeting held on November 7, 2012 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory and Service Contract (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) on behalf of each series of the Trust (each a “Fund”); the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Hoisington Investment Management Company (“HIMCO”) on behalf of the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (the “U.S. Treasury Fund”); and the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc. (“1st Source”) on behalf of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) (the foregoing sub-advisory agreements are each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and HIMCO and 1st Source are each a “Sub-Advisor”).

In preparation for their role in the evaluation of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions on October 30, 2012 and November 6, 2012. In addition to the executive sessions, the Independent Trustees also met at their quarterly meetings as well as at other times between the quarterly meetings with management. In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees took into account the information provided and the knowledge gained from these meetings. At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Trustees were joined by independent legal counsel. In advance of the meeting, the Board and independent legal counsel received materials and other information which outlined, among other things:

Ÿ  

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

 

 

144


Table of Contents
 

MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

Ÿ  

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

Ÿ  

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

Ÿ  

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

Ÿ  

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

Ÿ  

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

Ÿ  

each respective Fund’s past performance plus such Fund’s performance compared to other unaffiliated funds compiled by independent third parties and with recognized benchmarks as described below.

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

During the executive sessions noted above, the Independent Trustees met with independent legal counsel to discuss, among other things, the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the information provided, and the Independent Trustees’ duties in reviewing and approving advisory contracts. The Independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, also reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts. The information provided for the Meeting supplements the information the Board receives throughout the year regarding the Funds’ performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and sales activity. The Independent Trustees considered the legal advice provided by legal counsel and the materials provided, and relied upon their own business judgment and the knowledge they gained from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year of the Funds, the Advisor, the Sub-Advisors and the services they provided in determining the factors to be considered and the weight to be given to such factors in evaluating advisory agreements. Each Independent Trustee may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory

Agreement and applicable Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Trustees’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.

 

A.   NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

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

In addition to the foregoing, in light of the regulatory emphasis on compliance, in reviewing the services that have been provided to each Fund, the Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ compliance and regulatory history. The Trustees also considered the Advisor’s approach, activities and procedures with regard to risk management.

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

With respect to the Sub-Advisors, it was noted that the Sub-Advisory Agreements are essentially agreements for portfolio management services only and the Sub-Advisors were not expected to supply other significant administrative services. The Trustees further noted that the Advisor, based on its evaluation of the Sub-Advisors, recommended the renewal of each Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based on their review, the Independent Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements were satisfactory on behalf of each applicable Fund.

 

B.   THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS

In evaluating each Fund’s performance, the Trustees reviewed both short-term and long-term performance of each Fund relative to its peers and relevant benchmarks. More specifically, except for the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund described below, the Independent Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report prepared by an unaffiliated third party comparing the respective Fund’s total return for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five-, and 10-year periods ended August 31, 2012 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing timeframe) compared to the performance of unaffiliated funds with similar investment objectives or classifications (a “Peer Universe”), to a more focused subset

thereof, if any, (a “Peer Group”) and a benchmark assigned by the unaffiliated third party (the “Benchmark”) for the prescribed periods. The Independent Trustees also reviewed materials reflecting the respective Fund’s historic performance for the quarter, one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2012 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing timeframe together with the average annual return since inception for Funds with the shorter duration) compared to additional benchmark(s) and unaffiliated funds in its investment category. The Independent Trustees noted that the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund had been in operation for less than one year and therefore reviewed the Fund’s total return for the quarter and since inception periods ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the Independent Trustees received analyst reports provided by an unaffiliated third party for the following Funds: Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Long/Short Fund. This information supplemented the performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings as well as at other meetings or executive sessions during the year.

The Board evaluated Fund performance in light of the respective Fund’s investment objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and recognized that the objectives, investment parameters and guidelines of peers and/or Benchmarks may differ from those of the Funds, and therefore, the performance results may also differ. In this regard, the Independent Trustees recognized the limitations on some of the usefulness of the performance comparison information as the closest Peer Group for a Fund may not adequately reflect the Wasatch Fund’s investment strategies and may be invested in sectors or industries in which the applicable Fund has limited or no exposure, including the Micro Cap Fund, the Micro Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Micro Cap Funds”) and the Small Cap Value Fund. As the Peer Group assigned to the Micro Cap Funds appeared to generally focus on companies with a larger market

capitalization than those sought by the Micro Cap Funds, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Micro Cap Funds’ performance compared to a custom peer group provided by the Advisor. As the performance data for the Small Cap Value Fund included small cap growth funds, the Independent Trustees also reviewed the annualized total return performance history of the Small Cap Value Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index and the average for peers in the small cap blend and small cap value investment categories.

In addition to the limitations on some of the comparative performance data, the Independent Trustees also recognized that the investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Wasatch Funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable Fund and that a Fund’s performance results may differ significantly based on the time period being measured. Accordingly, although the performance below reflects the performance results for the time periods ended August 31, 2012, the Board recognized that selecting a different ending time period may derive different results. Based on their review of performance, the Independent Trustees determined the following:

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund have had generally favorable performance, outperforming their respective Benchmark for the one-, two-, three- and four-year periods ended August 31, 2012. The performance of both the Core Growth Fund and Long/Short Fund has been generally favorable, outperforming their respective Benchmark for the one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year periods ended August 31, 2012. Similarly, the performance of each of the International Growth Fund, World Innovators Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund over time has been generally favorable, outperforming their respective Benchmark for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and 10-year periods ended August 31, 2012. Although Global Opportunities Fund has been operating for only three years, the Fund generally has had favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark for the one-, two- and three-year periods ended August 31, 2012. The Heritage Growth Fund and Strategic Income Fund also have had generally favorable performance, excluding the one-year period, such Funds outperformed their respective Benchmark for the two-, three-, four- and five-year periods ended August 31, 2012.

The Independent Trustees noted that the Emerging India Fund and the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund were new funds with a shorter performance history available thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful assessment of performance. Nevertheless, the Independent Trustees noted that the Emerging India Fund outperformed the average of its Peer Group for the one-year period ended August 31, 2012 and the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund outperformed the MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Index for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

The Independent Trustees further determined that the investment performance over time of the following Funds also has been satisfactory. In this regard, the Independent Trustees noted that although the Micro Cap Value Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one-, two- and

 

 

146


Table of Contents
 

MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

three-year periods ended August 31, 2012, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark in the longer four- and five-year periods. Although the Micro Cap Fund has underperformed its Benchmark in recent years, the Fund has improved its performance, outperforming its Benchmark for the one-year period ended August 31, 2012. The Board further noted that the performance of the Micro Cap Funds was ahead of the average for the custom peer group for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2012. Although the Large Cap Value Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one-, two-, three- and four-year periods ended August 31, 2012, the Large Cap Value Fund has outperformed its Benchmark over the longer five and 10-year periods. Similarly, the International Opportunities Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the last one- and two-year periods ended August 31, 2012, but outperformed its Benchmark over the longer three-, four-, and five-year periods. Although the Income Fund underperformed its Benchmark over various periods ended August 31, 2012, the performance was generally comparable.

In addition, the Ultra Growth Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund underperformed their respective Benchmark over various periods, although the Ultra Growth Fund outperformed its Benchmark in the three- and four-year periods ended August 31, 2012. With respect to the Funds that have underperformed their Benchmarks and/or peers from time to time, the Board monitors such Funds closely and was satisfied with the investment approach to these Funds and any steps the Advisor has taken to address any performance issues.

 

C.   FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY

 

1. Fees and Expenses

The Independent Trustees considered the fees of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors. In their evaluation of fees and expenses, the Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s management fees and expense ratios for each Fund in absolute terms as well as with comparisons of fees and expenses of funds with similar objectives. In this regard, the Independent Trustees reviewed and considered, among other things, comparisons of each respective Fund’s gross and net management fees, total expenses (including and excluding 12b-1/non-12b-1 service fees), and non-management expenses (such as transfer agency, custodian, administrative and accounting fees) with those of unaffiliated funds in its Peer Group, compiled by an independent third party, subject to the following. With respect to the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, as a new Fund that had been in operation for less than a year as of August 31, 2012, the Independent Trustees had reviewed such Fund’s proposed management fee and expected expense ratio in absolute terms and as compared to a peer group of comparable unaffiliated funds provided by an independent third party at its November 7, 2012 meeting (the “November Meeting”). In addition, with respect to the Micro Cap Funds, the Independent Trustees also reviewed comparisons of the respective Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio with those of a custom peer group provided by the Advisor. In reviewing fees, the Independent

Trustees also considered the expense limitation agreement with the Advisor for the Funds and the amounts the Advisor has reimbursed to the Funds for the last three fiscal years (if any). The Independent Trustees also considers a Fund’s fees in light of the performance of the Fund. In their evaluation of the fees, the Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following factors:

With respect to the Investor Class shares of the Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Growth Fund, such Funds had gross advisory fees and net expense ratios above the median of their respective Peer Group. With respect to the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Small Cap Value Fund, such Fund had gross advisory fees below the median of its Peer Group, and the net expense ratio of the Institutional Class was below the median for its Peer Group but above the median for the Investor Class shares. The Independent Trustees also noted that the advisory fee of the Small Cap Value Fund was reduced in January 2012. In evaluating the fees for these Funds, the Independent Trustees also considered, among other things, the nature of the asset class (small- or mid-cap), the Advisor’s expertise in this asset class, the due diligence needed to evaluate small companies and the capacity constraints of this asset class. In their considerations, the Independent Trustees recognized the Advisor’s expertise in the small cap and micro cap arena and the research intensive approach the Advisor follows in evaluating companies in this category and the related costs incurred. The Independent Trustees also considered the inherent capacity constraints with small cap and micro cap investing which, in turn, limits the revenue potential from these Funds for the Advisor. More specifically, the Independent Trustees recognized that it is difficult to replicate the performance of small cap and micro cap funds at higher asset levels. Accordingly, the Advisor has continued its strategy to close Funds to new and/or existing investors as necessary to limit asset size and protect shareholder performance and the integrity of the Fund’s investment strategy. The Funds that have been closed to new and sometimes existing investors from time to time in the past include: the Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, World Innovators Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Ultra Growth Fund. The Independent Trustees seek to encourage the Advisor’s practice of closing Funds when necessary or appropriate to maintain or enhance performance. However, the Independent Trustees recognized that this practice also limits the Advisor’s ability to earn fees on a larger asset base and exposes the Advisor to reduced revenues from asset outflows if a Fund is closed to, or has otherwise limited new investments. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

With respect to the Investor Class shares of the Emerging Market Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and World Innovators Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the gross advisory fees and net expense ratios were

 

 

147


Table of Contents
WASATCH FUNDSSupplemental Information (continued)  

 

 

 

above the median of each Fund’s respective Peer Group. The Independent Trustees noted that the Investor Class of the Emerging India Fund, a new Fund, did not pay advisory fees after taking into account fee waivers and that the net expense ratio was equal to the median of its Peer Group. As with the above Funds, the Independent Trustees also considered any capacity constraints of these Funds which limit their asset size, the uniqueness of the Fund, and the expertise of the Advisor. The Independent Trustees also noted that the international aspect of these Funds adds an additional cost to the Advisor’s research-intensive investment program to cover an international landscape. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds are acceptable.

With respect to the Investor Class shares of the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, the Independent Trustees had noted at its November Meeting that the Fund’s management fee was the highest among its peer group but also recognized the experience and quality of the advisory services provided by the Advisor and the expected expenses in operating this type of Fund with the Advisor’s research approach. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.

With respect to the Core Growth Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the gross advisory fee of the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares was above the median for its Peer Group but the net expense ratio for each class was below the median of its Peer Group. The Trustees also considered the capacity constraints of the Fund and the research-intensive approach of the Advisor. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.

With respect to the Heritage Growth Fund and the Strategic Income Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the gross advisory fees and net expense ratios of the Investor Class shares of these Funds were below the median of their respective Peer Group. With respect to the Investor Class shares of the Long/Short Fund and the Income Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the gross advisory fee was above the median of its respective Peer Group, but the total expense ratio was below the median. Given their investment strategies, the Independent Trustees recognized that these Funds generally are not subject to capacity constraints limiting the asset size of the Funds upon which advisory fees are calculated as other Funds in the complex. Based on the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

With respect to the Ultra Growth Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the gross advisory fee and net expense ratio of the Investor Class shares were above the median for its Peer Group. The Trustees considered the capacity constraints applicable to the Fund. The Trustees further noted that the advisory fee and expense limitation of the Fund had been reduced in 2011. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.

With respect to the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Large Cap Value Fund and the Investor Class shares of the U.S. Treasury Fund, the Funds’ gross advisory fees and net expense ratios were above the median for their respective Peer Group. Although such Funds should not experience capacity constraints, the Independent Trustees recognized the investment expertise of the Advisor and Sub-Advisor (as applicable) with respect to the Funds. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.

 

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

In reviewing fees, the Independent Trustees also compared the advisory fees to the fees the Advisor assesses other types of clients, including institutional and high net worth separate accounts, wrap accounts, and funds sponsored by other sponsors. Currently, the Advisor manages separate account client assets in styles similar to those used for certain Funds, including the Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Ultra Growth Fund and Large Cap Value Fund. With respect to separate accounts, the weighted average fees for these accounts are generally lower than the comparable Fund (except in the case of the Heritage Growth Fund and Ultra Growth Fund). The Independent Trustees considered the differences in the product types, including the services provided, noting that the Advisor seeks to charge a higher fee to clients who require a higher degree of service. In this regard, the Independent Trustees have noted that the services provided to a Fund in managing and operating a registered investment company are more extensive than those provided to a separately managed account. The Advisor provides services to each Fund that extend beyond the portfolio management services provided to its separate account clients. As described in more detail above, these services include business, administrative, operational expertise (such as portfolio accounting, pricing, foreign registrations, and foreign filings), oversight of third party service providers (including sub-advisors), trustee support, marketing and other services required to operate a Fund. Further, the Independent Trustees recognized that each Fund operates in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive compliance. Such responsibilities generally are not required to the same extent for separate accounts. In addition, the Trustees considered the fees the Advisor assesses for other types of clients, including wrap accounts, uniform managed accounts, model accounts, collective investment trusts and sub-advisory accounts in which the fees may be lower but the services provided are also reduced. In light of the foregoing, the Independent Trustees determined that the nature and number of services provided to operate a Fund merit higher fees than those of separate and other accounts.

In considering the fees of the Sub-Advisors for the Income Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the pricing schedule the respective Sub- Advisor charges for investment management services for

 

 

148


Table of Contents

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

 

3. Profitability of the Advisor

The Independent Trustees reviewed profitability information for the Advisor derived from its relationship with each Fund for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011 and pro forma profitability for the calendar year ended December 31, 2012. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Trustees reviewed the methodology utilized to allocate revenue and expenses of the Advisor among the Funds. In considering profitability, the Independent Trustees recognized the inherent limitations in determining profitability which may be affected by many factors, including the allocation of expenses across multiple investment products served by the Advisor. The allocation of research and personnel expenses is also particularly difficult given the Advisor’s shared research culture. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor is privately held and is taxed as a Subchapter S corporation, thus certain expenses had to be attributed and/or estimated.

In addition to reviewing the Advisor’s profitability, the Trustees also reviewed the Advisor’s relative profitability compared to publicly available information concerning unaffiliated publicly traded investment managers. However, the Independent Trustees recognized the difficulties in comparing the profitability of various advisors given that, among other things, many of these managers are much larger than the Advisor, have different lines of business, may employ different expense allocations and charges, the profitability derived from individual funds or product lines is not generally publicly available and the profitability information of managers that is available may not be representative of the industry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor’s profitability is within a reasonable range compared to the peer group of unaffiliated advisors. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees were satisfied that the Advisor’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable in light of the services provided.

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

In addition to the above, the Independent Trustees also considered that the Advisor benefits from soft dollar

arrangements whereby it receives brokerage and research services from brokers that execute a Fund’s purchases and sales of securities, as described in further detail below.

 

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

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

 

E.   INDIRECT BENEFITS

In evaluating fees, the Independent Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Advisor or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Funds. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered that the Advisor benefits from soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives research from brokers that execute an applicable Fund’s brokerage transactions. The Advisor may receive soft dollar benefits from each Fund, subject to the exceptions noted below for the sub-advised Funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the soft dollar arrangements including, among other things, the commissions paid, the research credits earned and the services provided. Further, the Independent Trustees at prior meetings have had extensive discussions regarding the soft dollar arrangements. The Independent Trustees recognized that soft dollar arrangements provide benefits to the Advisor derived from a Fund’s brokerage transactions by obtaining research that it would otherwise have to acquire with hard dollars. Accordingly, the Advisor’s profitability would be somewhat lower if it did not receive the research services pursuant to soft dollar arrangements. The Independent Trustees took these “fall out” benefits, if any, into account when reviewing the level of advisory fees. With respect to the Sub-Advisors, the Independent Trustees recognized that the Sub-Advisors currently do not have soft dollar arrangements on behalf of their respective Funds.

F.   ANNUAL APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Independent Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the HIMCO Sub-Advisory Agreement for the U.S. Treasury Fund, and the 1st Source Sub-Advisory

Agreement for the Income Fund were fair and reasonable, that the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each respective Fund, and that the Advisory Agreement should be approved on behalf of each Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Fund and the Income Fund, respectively.

Wasatch Funds provides reports to shareholders twice a year. The annual report is for the Funds’ fiscal year which ends September 30. The semi-annual report is for the six months or period ending March 31. Additionally, the Funds’ schedules of investments for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year are available to shareholders as described on page 143. These reports provide shareholders with important information that will help them evaluate the management and performance of their investments. It is the desire of Wasatch Funds to help shareholders stay in tune with their investments. If you have any questions about the information in this report, a shareholder services representative will be happy to assist you when you call 800.551.1700.

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

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

STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

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

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

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

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

Net Asset Value (NAV), Redemption Price and Offering Price Per Share shows the value of one outstanding share of a Fund on the date of the report. A Fund’s share price (NAV) is calculated by dividing the value of all securities and other assets owned by a Fund, less the liabilities charged to that Fund, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The share price is calculated at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Please see Wasatch Funds’ prospectus for more information about how share prices are calculated. Information about how the share price is affected by a Fund’s operation can be found under “Financial Highlights” on page 153.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

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

 

 

152


Table of Contents
  MARCH 31, 2013 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

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

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

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

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

Net Asset Value (NAV) is defined under “Statements of Assets and Liabilities” on page 152. The difference between the Net asset value, beginning of period and the Net asset value, end of period in the Financial Highlights is the change in value of a Fund’s shares over the reporting period, but not its total return.

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

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

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

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

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