QUICK FACTS
•  Despite rising oil prices and higher short-term interest rates, the U.S. economy continued to expand at a brisk pace.
 
•  Even though stock prices rose in the second quarter, the overall equity market was flat during the six month period.
 
•  While the Federal Reserve continued to raise the Fed Funds rate, the bond market bucked conventional wisdom and generated positive returns during the first six months of 2005.
 
•  We continue to believe the economy will expand as the year progresses and that the stock and bond markets may generate modest gains in 2005.
A Resilient U.S. Economy
      While there were concerns that the U.S. economy might experience a “soft patch” due to higher oil prices and interest rates, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing during the six month reporting period. First quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 3.8%, which was the same growth rate experienced during the fourth quarter of 2004. (Gross Domestic Product measures the value of goods and services produced in an economy.) The economic expansion continued to be supported by strong consumer spending that was fueled by solid employment and income gains, as well as an extremely supportive housing market.
      To date, concerns that rising oil prices and the Federal Reserve Board’s (the Fed) move to increase interest rates would slow economic growth appear to be unfounded. This might be explained in part by the fact that in spite of the Fed’s moves to raise short-term interest rates, longer-term rates have actually declined. Low interest rates have continued to support an ever-ebullient housing market. The Fed has continued to remove policy accommodation at a “measured pace,” raising the Federal Funds target rate four more times during the six month period. These hikes were instituted with the intention of eliminating excess monetary stimuli that might result in too rapid a rate of economic growth and increased inflationary pressures. All told, the Fed has now raised short-term rates nine times since June 2004, bringing the Federal Funds rate from 1.00% to 3.25%.
Stocks Largely Tread Water
      After falling 2.15% in the first quarter of 2005, stocks generated positive returns in the second quarter, with the S&P 500 Index returning 1.37%. For the six month period ended June 30, 2005, the S&P 500 Index posted a -0.81% return. (The S&P 500 Index is an index of 500 primarily large-cap U.S. stocks that is generally considered to be representative of U.S. stock market activity. It is unmanaged and not available for direct investment.) Past performance is not an indication of future results.
      The stock market’s weakness in the first quarter was triggered by mixed economic data, soaring oil prices, and inflationary concerns. The second quarter also started off on the wrong foot, as stocks fell due to fears that the economic expansion was running out of steam. The S&P 500 Index then gained 3.18% in May, on the back of better-than-expected retail sales data and a benign inflation report. Stock prices were then flat in June, as investors’ awaited word from the Fed regarding the magnitude and duration of future interest rate hikes.
      For the reporting period as a whole, mid-cap stocks posted the strongest returns, with the Russell Midcap, Russell 1000, and Russell 2000 Indexes returning 3.92%, 0.11%, and -1.25%, respectively (the Russell Midcap is generally considered to be representative of mid-cap U.S. stocks, the Russell 1000 is generally considered to be representative of large-cap U.S. stocks, and the Russell 2000 Index is generally considered to be representative of small capitalization issues in the U.S. stock market. All of these indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment). From a market style perspective, value-oriented stocks outperformed their growth counterparts, as the Russell 3000 Value Index rose 1.69%, while the Russell 3000 Growth Index declined 1.88% (the Russell 3000 Value Index is generally considered to be representative of the U.S. equity value market, and the Russell 3000 Growth Index is generally considered to be representative of the broad U.S. equity growth markets. These indices are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment).
Bonds Have a Pleasant Surprise for Investors
      Certainly one of the biggest surprises over the last six months was the performance of the bond market. When the year began, there were few people who thought that bonds would generate positive returns, let alone outperform stocks. But the bond market surpassed these low expectations and the overall market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 2.51% during the six-month period (the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that is generally considered to be representative of the U.S. bond market activity. It is not available for direct investment).

      As previously mentioned, longer-term interest rates, which are used to establish mortgage and other borrowing rates, have fallen despite the Fed’s tightening monetary policy. When the Fed first started increasing rates in June 2004, 10-year Treasury yields were 4.69% and one year later at quarter end they stood at 3.92%. While Fed Chairman Greenspan stated it was a “conundrum” that shorter term interest rates were rising while longer term rates were falling, these conditions continued to support consumer spending, as well as a potential “bubble” in the housing market. Even Chairman Greenspan admitted that housing showed “signs of froth in some local markets, where home prices seem to have risen to unsustainable levels.”
      One sector of the market that experienced a fair share of publicity, as well as increased volatility, was high yield bonds. After a strong start, high yield bond prices declined in March and April 2005 due to concerns over the bond downgrades of General Motors and Ford Motor Company. However, following these downgrades, high yield bonds rebounded in May and June. All told, over the six-month period, the Lehman High Yield Bond Index returned 1.11% (The Lehman High Yield Bond Index is an index that is generally considered to be representative of corporate high yield bond market activity. It is unmanaged and not available for direct investment).
Economic Outlook: Moderating Economic Growth
      Over the last six months, our outlook for the U.S. economy has remained fairly consistent. Given the current environment, we continue to believe that economic growth will decline somewhat. The Fed has made clear its intention to raise rates at a measured pace. In addition, high oil prices, if sustained, should eventually temper spending and slow economic growth. We believe the Blue Chip Economic Indicators consensus estimate for second half 2005 GDP growth of 3.5% is reasonable and that GDP could move closer to its historical average of 3.0% next year. Looking more closely at the Fed, we expect it to raise short-term rates from 3.25% to 3.75% during its next two meetings. However, after these moves, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Fed paused to monitor and analyze the economic impact of its monetary policy, which will have been in effect for more than a year. Historically, Fed-tightening cycles last about twelve months with 2.50% of interest rate hikes. We have just reached the twelfth month of this cycle and rates have risen 2.25%.While rates were extremely low from a historical perspective when the Fed began raising the Fed Funds rate, we believe we are approaching the end of this tightening cycle.
Equity Outlook: Hopes for a Late Rally
      As with the economy, our outlook for the equity market hasn’t changed. We continue to expect a decelerating corporate profit environment, with Thomson First Call projecting that earnings growth will be approximately 8% in 2005 and 5% in 2006. This compares to 21% earnings growth in 2004. We currently believe the stock market is fairly valued at 16 times forward earnings and 17 times trailing earnings. This is a level not seen since 1996. Given the relatively flat market thus far in 2005, many investors are hoping for a repeat of 2004, when stock prices surged in the fourth quarter and the S&P 500 Index gained 10.88% for the year as a whole. Last year’s rally occurred once the uncertainty of the presidential election lifted and oil prices fell. A catalyst for a late rally in 2005 could possibly be driven by a meaningful decline in oil prices and/or a pause in the Fed’s tightening cycle. We believe equity returns in the mid- to upper-single digit range could be possible should this scenario play out.
      In the international equity markets, European stocks performed well during the first half in local currency terms. However, due to the weakening of the euro during the first half of the year, all of the gains were lost in currency translation for U.S. investors. Reasonable valuations, decent corporate profitability and profit margins have made the region’s equity markets appear attractive relative to the prevailing low bond yields. Looking ahead, European equities could benefit if the European Central Bank lowers interest rates to stimulate economic growth. Japan’s stock market has been nearly flat in local currency terms (and negative in dollar terms) thus far in 2005, as mixed economic signals, high oil prices, falling exports, and political uncertainties have weighted on the Japanese market. Until some of these issues are resolved there could be continued weakness.
      Finally, emerging market equities have performed well in 2005 (both in local currency terms and dollar terms) and could continue to do so given high commodity prices and their ability, thus far, to withstand a rising Fed Funds rate. This has mirrored the strong performance of emerging market bonds so far in the year, which has been attributed to their improving credit quality.

Bond Outlook: Mixed Signals Abound
      After the first six months of 2005, it may be unwise to again underestimate the bond market. At the same time, many of the issues that concerned investors heading into the year remain. The Fed has telegraphed its intention to raise interest rates. Longer-term rates have bucked their historical trend and fallen in the face of rising short-term rates. And inflation could eventually be impacted if oil prices don’t retreat from their current high levels.
      The bond market tends to telegraph the future and it’s currently acting as if economic weakness were on the horizon. This is exemplified by the flattening yield curve as long-and-short term yields compress, and continued low long-term rates. On the other hand, if the bond market is wrong and the economy continues to expand at a rapid pace, we believe the Fed may move to continue raising short-term rates for the foreseeable future. Should this occur, longer-term rates will most likely rise as well.
      Given this environment, where investors are poorly compensated for extending duration with a flat yield curve, a prudent approach may be to become more defensive with one’s fixed income holdings, both in terms of duration and credit quality. By holding shorter duration bonds or funds, we believe principal losses are less likely in a rising rate environment. That’s because interest rates and bond prices move in opposite directions and rising rates generally have a negative impact on bond prices.
Take a Long-term View
      Perhaps nowhere is the saying “hindsight is 20/20” more pertinent that when looking at the financial markets. Because no one knows where the markets are headed over the short-term, attempting to outguess, or time, the market can be hazardous to your longer-term financial goals. We continue to believe in the three tenets of sound investing: maintaining a diversified portfolio, employing a sound asset allocation strategy, and taking a long-term view of the markets. Your investment professional can provide the guidance needed to keep you on track with your financial goals. He or she can also help you have realistic expectations for your investment returns in the current environment.
      In conclusion, we thank you for your business, confidence and trust to manage your investments and look forward to serving your financial needs in the future.

  •  It is important to consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses before investing. All funds involve some risk, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.
 
  •  Please see the “About Your Annual Report” page for a description of the S&P 500 Index.
 
  •  Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Total return figures for Class A shares do not take into account the current maximum sales charge of 4.5%, except where noted. Total return figures for Class B, Class C and Class K shares do not take into account the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such shares (maximum 3% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C and Class K shares), except where noted. Prior to August 25, 1988, Class A shares of the Fund were offered at a higher sales charge, so that actual returns would have been somewhat lower.

Fund Expenses
By investing in the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including, as applicable, management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2005 and held for six months ended June 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

  •  Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Total return figures for Class A shares do not take into account the current maximum sales charge of 4.5%, except where noted.

Fund Expenses
By investing in the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including, as applicable, management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2005 and held for six months ended June 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class A, B, C and K shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the Fund’s most recent fiscal half-year).

About information in this report:
  •  All performance data quoted is historical and the results represent past performance and neither guarantee nor predict future investment results. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month (available within 7 business days of the most recent month end), please call us at (800) 221-3253 or visit our website at www.guardianinvestor.com. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted here. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
  •  It is important to consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses before investing. All funds involve some risk, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.
  •  The Composite benchmark total return data is comprised of 60% of the S&P 500 Index and 40% of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index to reflect a 60/40 neutral weighting of the Fund. Please see the “About Your Annual Report” page for a description of the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.
  •  Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Total return figures for Class A shares do not take into account the current maximum sales charge of 4.5%, except where noted. Total return figures for Class B, Class C and Class K shares do not take into account the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such shares (maximum 3% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C and Class K shares), except where noted.

Fund Expenses
By investing in the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including, as applicable, management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2005 and held for six months ended June 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class A, B, C and K shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the Fund’s most recent fiscal half-year).

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted here. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
  •  It is important to consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses before investing. All funds involve some risk, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. International investing has special risks relating to changes in currency rates, foreign taxation, differences in auditing and other financial standards, political uncertainty and greater volatility. These risks are even greater when investing in emerging markets.

  •  Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Total return figures for Class A shares do not take into account the current maximum sales charge of 4.5%, except where noted. Total return figures for Class B, Class C and Class K shares do not take into account the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such shares (maximum 3% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C and Class K shares), except where noted.

Fund Expenses
By investing in the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including, as applicable, management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2005 and held for six months ended June 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Investing in bond funds exposes you to the general risk of investing in the debt markets. Duration is a measure of bond price sensitivity to a given change in interest rates. Generally, the higher a bond’s duration, the greater its price sensitivity to a given change in interest rates. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices generally rise. Currently, interest rates are at historically low levels. Please keep in mind that in this kind of environment, the risk that bond prices may fall when interest rates rise is potentially greater.

About information in this report:
  •  All performance data quoted is historical and the results represent past performance and neither guarantee nor predict future investment results. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month (available within 7 business days of the most recent month end), please call us at (800) 221-3253 or visit our website at www.guardianinvestor.com. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted here. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
 
  •  It is important to consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses before investing. All funds involve some risk, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. Investing in bond funds exposes you to the general risk of investing in the debt markets. Duration is a measure of bond price sensitivity to a given change in interest rates. Generally, the higher a bond’s duration, the greater its price sensitivity to a given change in interest rates. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices generally rise. Currently, interest rates are at historically low levels. Please keep in mind that in this kind of environment, the risk that bond prices may fall when interest rates rise is potentially greater. Investing in high yield bonds involves special risks because investments in lower rated and unrated debt securities are subject to greater loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities.
 
  •  Please see the “About Your Annual Report” page for a description of the Lehman Corporate High Yield Index.
 
  •  Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Total return figures for Class A shares do not take into account the current maximum sales charge of 4.5%, except where noted. Total return figures for Class B, Class C and Class K shares do not take into account the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such shares (maximum 3% for Class B shares and 1% for Class C and Class K shares), except where noted. Since inception, the investment adviser for the Fund has assumed certain ordinary operating expenses for the Fund. Without this assumption of expenses, returns would have been lower.

Fund Expenses
By investing in the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including, as applicable, management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2005 and held for six months ended June 30, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the Fund’s Class A, B, C and K shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the Fund’s most recent fiscal half-year).

Note 1. Organization and Accounting Policies
      The Park Avenue Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), which is organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Portfolio consists of thirteen series, namely: The Guardian Park Avenue Fund (GPAF); The Guardian UBS Large Cap Value Fund (GULCVF); The Guardian Park Avenue Small Cap Fund (GPASCF); The Guardian UBS Small Cap Value Fund (GUSCVF); The Guardian Asset Allocation Fund (GAAF); The Guardian S&P 500 Index Fund (GSP500F); The Guardian Baillie Gifford International Growth Fund (GBGIF); The Guardian Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Fund (GBGEMF); The Guardian Investment Quality Bond Fund (GIQBF); The Guardian Low Duration Bond Fund (GLDBF); The Guardian High Yield Bond Fund (GHYBF); The Guardian Tax-Exempt Fund (GTEF); and The Guardian Cash Management Fund (GCMF). The series are collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”.
      The Funds offer up to five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and the Institutional Class. Each of the Funds offers Class A shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales load of up to 4.50% (up to 3.00% for GLDBF and 0.00% for GCMF) and an administrative fee of up to .25% on an annual basis of the Funds’ average daily net assets. A redemption fee of 2% is imposed on purchases of Class A shares of GBGIF, GBGEMF and GHYBF if redeemed within 60 days of purchase, except for shares held in omnibus accounts. Class B shares are offered by all of the Funds, except for GTEF. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales load but are subject to a 12b-1 fee of .75% and an administrative fee of .25% on an annual basis of each Fund’s Class B average daily net assets, and a contingent deferred sales load (CDSL) of up to 3% imposed on certain redemptions. Each of the Funds offers Class C shares. Class C shares are sold without an initial sales load but are subject to a 12b-1 fee of .75% and an administrative fee of .25% on an annual basis of each Fund’s Class C average daily net assets, and a CDSL of 1% imposed on certain redemptions. Class K shares are offered by all of the Funds, except for GTEF. Class K shares are sold without an initial sales load but are subject to a 12b-1 fee of .40% and an administrative fee of .25% on an annual basis of each Fund’s Class K average daily net assets, and a CDSL of 1% imposed on certain redemptions. Institutional Class shares are offered by GPAF, GPASCF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF, GBGEMF, GIQBF and GHYBF. As of June 30, 2005, none of the Funds had issued Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are offered at net asset value, without an initial or a CDSL. All classes of shares for each Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain class expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter to which a separate vote of any class is required.
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 amounts of income, gains (losses) and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
      Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:
Investments
      Securities listed on domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges, or if no sale occurred, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. Securities that are traded on the NASDAQ

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
June 30, 2005 (Unaudited)
National Securities Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In GAAF, investments in the underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value of each underlying Fund on the day of valuation.
      Pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, certain debt securities may be valued each business day by an independent pricing service (Service). Debt securities for which quoted bid prices are readily available and representative of the bid side of the market, in the judgment of the Service, are valued at the bid price, except for GTEF. In GTEF, debt securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices obtained by the Service. Other debt securities that are valued by the Service are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions.
      Futures contracts are valued at the settlement prices established by the boards of trade or exchanges on which they are traded.
      Other securities, including securities for which market quotations are not readily available (such as certain mortgage backed securities, restricted securities and foreign securities subject to “significant event”) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. A “significant event” is an event that will affect the value of a portfolio security that occurs after the close of trading in the security’s primary trading market or exchange but before the Funds’ NAV is calculated.
      Investing outside of the U.S. may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with domestic investments, including the possibility of political and economic unrest and different levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
      Repurchase agreements are carried at cost which approximates market value (see Note 5). Short-term securities held by the Funds are valued on an amortized cost basis which approximates market value but does not take into account unrealized gains and losses. GCMF values its investments based on amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.
      Investment transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or sale. Security gains or losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization/accretion of premium/ discount, is accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
      All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative value of shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include any items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, distribution, administrative and transfer agent fees were the only class-specific expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation
      GPAF, GULCVF, GPASCF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GBGIF, GBGEMF and GHYBF are permitted to buy international securities that are not U.S. dollar denominated. Their books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows:
      (1) The foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange.
      (2) Security purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
      The resulting gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations as follows:
      Gains and losses attributable to foreign currency exchange rates on sales of securities are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. Realized foreign exchange gains and losses, which result from changes in foreign exchange rates between the date on which a Fund earns dividends and interest or pays foreign withholding taxes or other expenses and the date on which U.S. dollar equivalent amounts are actually received or paid, are included in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. Realized foreign exchange gains and losses which result from changes in foreign exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on security and currency transactions are also included in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. Net currency gains and losses from valuing other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the period end exchange rate are reflected in net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation from translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
      GPAF, GULCVF, GPASCF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GBGIF, GBGEMF and GHYBF may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or
 

82

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
June 30, 2005 (Unaudited)
sales of securities, or to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates affecting the values of its investments that are denominated in a particular currency. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward exchange rate. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign currency contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses from translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies by the Funds. When forward contracts are closed, the Funds will record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the values of such forward contracts at the time each was opened and the values at the time each was closed. Such amounts are recorded in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. The Funds will not enter into a forward foreign currency contract if such contract would obligate the applicable Funds to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities or other assets denominated in that currency.
Futures Contracts
      GULCVF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF, GBGEMF, GIQBF, GLDBF, GHYBF and GTEF may enter into financial futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities, currency or contracts based on financial indices at a fixed price on a future date. In entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as variation margins by the Funds. The daily changes in the variation margin are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. The Funds’ investments in financial futures contracts are designed to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest or exchange rates or securities prices. In addition, GAAF may enter into financial futures contracts for non-hedging purposes. Should interest or exchange rates or securities prices or prices of futures contracts move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. GAAF’s portfolio holdings correspond to the custodian bank’s records and reflect accounting treatment for the futures contracts in the portfolio.
Dividend Distributions
      Dividends from net investment income are declared and accrued daily and are paid monthly for GIQBF, GLDBF, GHYBF and GTEF, and declared and paid semi-annually for GPAF, GULCVF, GPASCF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF and GBGEMF. Net realized short-term and long-term capital gains for these Funds will be distributed at least annually. Dividends from GCMF’s net investment income, which includes any net realized capital gains or losses, are declared and accrued daily and paid monthly on the last business day of each month.
      All dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations. Differences between the recognition of income on an income tax basis and recognition of income based on GAAP may cause temporary overdistributions of net realized gains and net investment income.
Taxes
      Each Fund has qualified and intends to remain qualified to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (Code), and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income (including any realized capital gains) which is distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
      Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains in GBGIF and GBGEMF have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Expense Reductions
      GTEF has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the Fund’s expenses. During the period, GTEF’s custodian fees were reduced by $5,676 under this arrangement. GTEF could have employed the uninvested assets to produce income if GTEF had not entered into such arrangement.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts
      The treatment for financial statement purposes of distributions made during the year from net investment income and net realized gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences primarily are caused by differences in the timing of the
 

83

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
June 30, 2005 (Unaudited)
recognition of certain components of income or capital gains, and the recharacterization of foreign exchange gains or losses to either ordinary income or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset value per share of the Funds.
Note  2. Investment Advisory Agreements and Payments to or from Related Parties
      The Funds (except GBGIF and GBGEMF) have an investment advisory agreement with Guardian Investor Services LLC (GIS), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Guardian Life. Fees for investment advisory are at an annual rate of .50% of the average daily net assets for GPAF, GAAF, GIQBF and GTEF. GPASCF, GSP500F, GHYBF and GLDBF pay GIS an annual rate of .75%, .25%, .60% and .45%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. GCMF pays GIS investment advisory fees at an annual rate of .50% of its average daily net assets for the first $500 million and at an annual rate of .45% in excess of $500 million of its daily average net assets.
      GAAF is subject to a contractual annual advisory fee of .65% of its average daily net assets. However, GIS has agreed to a waiver of .15% of GAAF’s annual advisory fee when GAAF is operated as a “fund of funds” so that GAAF’s effective advisory fee is .50% of its average daily net assets. There are no duplicative advisory and administrative service fees charged to GAAF on assets invested in other Guardian Funds. Under an SEC exemptive order, advisory and administrative fees are paid at the underlying Fund level.
      GULCVF pays investment advisory fees to GIS at an annual rate of .83% of its average daily net assets. GUSCVF pays investment advisory fees to GIS at an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets for the first $50 million and an annual rate of .95% of its average daily net assets in excess of $50 million. GIS has entered into a sub-investment advisory agreement with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas), Inc. (UBS Global AM). UBS Global AM is responsible for the day-to-day management of GULCVF and GUSCVF. GIS continually monitors and evaluates the performance of UBS Global AM. As compensation for its services, GIS pays UBS Global AM at an annual rate of .43% of GULCVF’s average daily net assets and at an annual rate of .60% for the first $50 million and at an annual rate of .55% in excess of $50 million of GUSCVF’s average daily net assets. Payment of sub-investment advisory fees does not represent a separate or additional expense to GULCVF or GUSCVF.
      In approving the continuation of the investment advisory agreements and the investment sub-advisory agreements, the Board reviewed and discussed materials prepared by the investment adviser and/or sub-adviser, as applicable, and a report furnished by an independent mutual fund rating firm comparing each Fund’s advisory fee rate and overall expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board also considered the size of the Funds and any economies of scale and fall-out benefits, as well as the continuing fee subsidy of certain Funds. The Board considered: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the investment adviser and sub-advisers and the overall positive cooperation of management and concluded that the services provided were satisfactory; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the adviser’s and sub-adviser’s employment of knowledgeable personnel and determined that performance of certain Funds was satisfactory, and for those Funds where performance was less than satisfactory, that management was working to address the performance issues; (iii) the costs of the services provided and the profitability to the investment adviser and concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable; and (iv) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale. The Board also reviewed and relied upon comparisons of advisory fees paid by other investment companies and other clients of the adviser and sub-advisers. The Independent Trustees of the Funds were assisted by independent legal counsel in their deliberations.
      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, GIS voluntarily assumed a portion of the ordinary operating expenses (excluding interest expense associated with reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending) that exceeded a percentage of the average daily net assets of the respective Funds, by class, as follows:
                                 
Fund   Class A   Class B   Class C   Class K
                 
GSP500F
    .53%       1.28%       1.28%       0.93%

      For the six months ended June 30, 2005, GIS voluntarily assumed $176,602, $118,159, $51,662 and $112,423 of the administrative fees and 12b-1 fees of GSP500F, GIQBF, GTEF and GCMF, respectively. GIS voluntarily assumed $107,851 and $153,331 of the advisory fees and transfer agent fees of GLDBF and GHYBF, respectively. In addition, GIS reimbursed GCMF $17,648 in expenses in order to maintain a minimum yield threshold. These arrangements can be terminated at any time by GIS.
      The Portfolio, on behalf of GBGIF and GBGEMF, has an investment management agreement with Guardian Baillie Gifford Limited (GBG), a Scottish corporation owned by The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guardian Life and Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (BG Overseas). GBG is responsible for the overall investment management of GBGIF and GBGEMF’s portfolios, subject to the supervision of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees. GBG has entered into a sub-investment management agreement with BG Overseas pursuant to which BG Overseas is responsible for the day-to-day management of GBGIF and GBGEMF. GBG continually monitors and evaluates the performance of BG Overseas. As compensation for its services, GBGIF and GBGEMF pay GBG annual investment management fees of .80% and 1.00%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. One half of these fees is payable by GBG to BG Overseas for its services. Payment of the sub-investment management fee does not represent a separate or additional expense to GBGIF or GBGEMF.
      The Guardian Fund Complex pays trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) fees consisting of a $5,000 per meeting fee and an annual retainer of $30,500, allocated among all funds in the Guardian Fund Complex based on relative average daily net assets. Board committee members also receive a fee of $2,000 per committee meeting, which also is allocated among all funds in the Guardian Fund Complex based on relative average daily net assets. Additional compensation is paid to the Chairmen of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, respectively. GIS pays compensation to certain trustees who are interested persons. Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are affiliated with GIS.
      GAAF received $679,663 in dividends from other Guardian mutual funds.

Note  5. Repurchase Agreements
      The collateral for repurchase agreements is either cash or fully negotiable U.S. government securities. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized (including the interest earned thereon) and such collateral is marked-to-market daily while the agreements remain in force. If the value of the collateral falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the applicable Fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults, the applicable Fund maintains the right to sell the collateral and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
Note  6. Reverse Repurchase Agreements
      GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks or third party broker-dealers to borrow short-term funds. Interest on the value of reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF enter into a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds establish and segregate cash, U.S. government securities or liquid, unencumbered securities that are marked-to-market daily. The value of such segregated assets must be at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation (principal plus accrued interest), as applicable. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may be unable to deliver the securities when the Funds seek to repurchase them.
Note  7. Dollar Roll Transactions
      GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may enter into dollar rolls (principally using TBA’s) in which each of the Funds sell mortgage securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar securities at an agreed-upon price on a fixed date. The securities repurchased will bear the same interest as those sold, but generally will be collateralized at the time of delivery by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may be unable to deliver the securities when the Funds seek to repurchase them.
