  1. Description of the Collective Trust

The American Bar Association Members/Northern Trust Collective Trust (formerly known as the American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust, referred to herein as the “Collective Trust”) was organized on August 8, 1991. From December 1, 2004 and through June 30, 2010, State Street Bank and Trust Company of New Hampshire (“State Street”) acted as trustee of the Collective Trust. Effective July 1, 2010, Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (“Northern Trust Investments” or the “Trustee”) was substituted for State Street as trustee of the Collective Trust. In connection therewith, the name of the Collective Trust was changed from “American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust” to “American Bar Association Members/Northern Trust Collective Trust.” From and after July 1, 2010, Northern Trust Investments, as trustee of the Collective Trust, has exclusive discretion and control over the assets of the Collective Trust. Further, effective July 1, 2010, The Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”) was substituted for State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) as trustee of the American Bar Association Members Retirement Trust and the American Bar Association Members Pooled Trust for Retirement Plans.

Northern Trust Investments is an Illinois banking corporation with trust powers and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northern Trust, which is an Illinois banking corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northern Trust Corporation, a publicly-traded financial holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

Northern Trust Investments delegated to Northern Trust the responsibility to provide certain services to the Collective Trust on behalf of Northern Trust Investments. In addition, Northern Trust is the primary custodian and, based on instructions from ING Institutional Plan Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ING Services”), effects investment and transfer transactions and distributes all benefits provided by the plans to the participants or, in the case of some individually designed plans, to the respective trustees of such plans. ING Services or an affiliate thereof provides recordkeeping, communication, marketing and administration services to the ABA Retirement Funds Program (the “Program”). ING Services is responsible for the maintenance of individual account records or accrued benefit information for participants whose employers choose to have the Program’s administrator maintain those account records. ING Services also provides certain account and investment information to employers and participants, manages the receipt of all plan contributions, forwards investment and transaction instructions to the appropriate parties and forwards instructions relating to distribution of benefits provided by the plans.

The Collective Trust is maintained exclusively for the collective investment of monies administered on behalf of participants in the Program. As of June 30, 2012, the Collective Trust offered twenty-three separate collective investment funds, comprised of six Managed Funds, six Index Funds, the Real Asset Return Fund, the Alternative Alpha Fund, six Retirement Date Funds and three Target Risk Funds (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are investment options under the Program, which is sponsored by ABA Retirement Funds. Effective July 2, 2009, units of the Balanced Fund ceased to be offered and thus the Balanced Fund is no longer an investment option under the Program, although certain assets held under the Program continue to be invested in the Balanced Fund. The objectives and principal strategies of the Funds and the Balanced Fund are as follows:

Managed Funds

Stable Asset Return Fund (“SARF”)—current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. SARF may invest in investment contracts (“Traditional Investment Contracts”) and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“SGICs”, “Security-Backed Contracts” or “Wrap Contracts”) with associated underlying assets, and high quality, fixed income instruments. Such investments may be made directly by the Fund or indirectly through its investment in other collective investment funds maintained by one or more banks, including Northern Trust Investments.

Bond Core Plus Fundtotal return from current income and capital appreciation through investment in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities with varying maturities.

Large Cap Equity Fund—long-term growth of capital through investment primarily in common stocks and equity-type securities of larger-capitalization U.S. companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of greater than $1 billion.

Alternative Alpha Fund

Alternative Alpha Fund—long-term total returns in excess of the yield on cash-equivalent investments through investments in a broad range of liquid asset classes, including a diversified portfolio of securities and instruments. The investment strategies used by the Investment Advisors are non-traditional, and include the use of derivatives, leverage, hedging and shorting. These strategies have certain non-traditional risks.

Retirement Date Funds

Retirement Date Funds—a series of diversified investment funds each of which is designed to correspond to a particular time horizon to retirement. The six Retirement Date Funds, designated as the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund, 2010 Retirement Date Fund, 2020 Retirement Date Fund, 2030 Retirement Date Fund, 2040 Retirement Date Fund and 2050 Retirement Date Fund, respectively, offer six separate “target retirement date” strategies. With the exception of the Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund, which is designed for those well into retirement, each Retirement Date Fund’s asset mix will, over time, become progressively more conservative as the specified target date of most conservative investment mix draws nearer.

The Retirement Date Funds utilize a broad range of asset classes and a quarterly rebalancing process to provide diversification of returns and risks consistent with the stated time horizon to most conservative asset mix. Investment in each such asset class is obtained by investing in index strategies or other pooled strategies designed for low tracking error. As of June 30, 2012, each of the Retirement Date Funds invested 100% of its net assets in separate State Street Bank collective investment funds listed below.

Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund—invests 100% of its net assets in the SSgA Target Retirement Income Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

2010 Retirement Date Fund—invests 100% of its net assets in the SSgA Target Retirement 2010 Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

2020 Retirement Date Fund—invests 100% of its net assets in the SSgA Target Retirement 2020 Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

2030 Retirement Date Fund—invests 100% of its net assets in the SSgA Target Retirement 2030 Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

2040 Retirement Date Fund—invests 100% of its net assets in the SSgA Target Retirement 2040 Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

2050 Retirement Date Fund—invests 100% of its net assets in the SSgA Target Retirement 2050 Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

Each of these underlying funds’ annual financial statements is available to any individual upon request and may also be accessed by Participants on the password-protected portion of the Program’s website.

Target Risk Funds

Target Risk Funds—a series of diversified investment funds each of which is designed to correspond to a particular investment risk level. The three Target Risk Funds, designated as the Conservative Risk Fund, the Moderate Risk Fund and the Aggressive Risk Fund, offer three separate strategies, each with a distinct asset mix.

Conservative Risk Fund—invests in a combination of U.S. stocks, non-U.S. stocks, bonds and cash-equivalent investments, and allocates its assets among these investments according to a fixed strategic asset allocation strategy. The Fund invests in the SSgA Global Equity ex U.S. Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA U.S. Bond Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA/Tuckerman REIT Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA Russell All Cap® Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA U.S. Inflation Protected Bond Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A and Northern Trust Global Investments Collective Short-Term Investment Fund. The Conservative Risk Fund is the most conservative strategy among the Target Risk Funds. The Conservative Risk Fund is designed for investors who prefer lower volatility of returns and higher expected income.

This Fund is expected to have higher volatility of returns than the Conservative Risk Fund but lower volatility than the Aggressive Risk Fund.

Aggressive Risk Fund—invests in a combination of U.S. stocks, non-U.S. stocks, bonds, commodities and cash-equivalent investments, and allocates its assets among these investments according to a fixed strategic asset allocation strategy. The Fund invests in the SSgA SM Global Equity ex U.S. Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA Dow Jones UBS-Commodity Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA U.S. Bond Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA/Tuckerman REIT Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, SSgA Russell All Cap® Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A, and SSgA U.S. Inflation Protected Bond Index Non-Lending Series Fund Class A.

Each of these underlying funds’ annual financial statements is available to any individual upon request and may also be accessed by Participants on the password-protected portion of the Program’s website.

Balanced Fund

Balanced Fund—current income and long-term capital appreciation through investment in publicly traded common stocks, other equity-type securities, medium- to long-term debt securities with varying maturities and money market instruments. As of June 30, 2012, 39.5% and 60.5% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in the Bond Core Plus Fund and Large Cap Equity Fund, respectively. The Fund ceased offering its units on July 2, 2009.

All the Managed Funds other than SARF (i.e., the Large Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, International All Cap Equity Fund, Global All Cap Equity Fund and Bond Core Plus Fund) may invest in Northern Trust Global Investments (“NTGI”) – Collective Short-Term Investment Fund (“STIF”) and SARF may invest directly or indirectly in the NTGI Collective Government Short-Term Investment Fund (“GSTIF”). The annual financial statements of STIF and GSTIF are available to any individual upon request and may also be accessed by Participants on the password-protected portion of the Program’s website.

The Collective Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number of units representing interests in separate Funds of the Collective Trust, each unit to be offered and sold at the per unit net asset value of the corresponding Fund.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and certain financial data have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements included in the Collective Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 23, 2012.

Basis of Presentation

Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, combined financial statements are presented for the Collective Trust as a whole, as the SEC registrant, and also for each Fund and the Balanced Fund individually. The Collective Trust’s Declaration of Trust provides that any creditor of, or other person having any claim of any type against, a Fund (including the Balanced Fund), may look only to the assets of such Fund for payment of obligations of such Fund, and that every contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking of or on behalf of any Fund shall be conclusively deemed to have been executed only by or for that Fund and no Fund shall be answerable for any obligation assumed or liability incurred by any other Fund. Accordingly, the assets of each Fund comprising the Collective Trust include only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Collective Trust on account of and for the benefit of that Fund, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the Collective Trust for the purchase of units in that Fund.

A. Security Valuation

The Collective Trust follows authoritative accounting guidance that governs the application of GAAP that requires fair value measurements of the Funds’ and the Balanced Fund’s assets and liabilities. Fair value is an estimate of the price a Fund would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the security.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund follow a three-tiered hierarchy based on the use of observable market data and unobservable inputs to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about uncertainty, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model, and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ and the Balanced Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

   

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in valuing a portfolio instrument. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and other inputs in active markets and markets that are not active.

 

   

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Trustee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Northern Trust Investments has delegated to Northern Trust the responsibility to determine the value of each Fund and the Balanced Fund based on the market value of each Fund’s and the Balanced Fund’s portfolio of securities. Northern Trust generally values each Fund’s and the Balanced Fund’s portfolio of securities, such as equities, based on closing market prices or readily available market quotations and classifies these securities as Level 1. When closing market prices or market quotations are not readily available or are considered by Northern Trust to be unreliable, the fair value of the particular securities or assets is determined in good faith by Northern Trust Investments pursuant to procedures adopted by Northern Trust Investments. For market prices and quotations, as well as some fair value methods of pricing, Northern Trust and Northern Trust Investments may rely upon securities prices provided by pricing services, the persons or entities Northern Trust Investments has retained to assist it in the exercise of its investment responsibility with respect to the Funds and the Balanced Fund (the “Investment Advisors”) or independent dealers. Northern Trust Investments also endeavors to value the security at the amount the owner might reasonably expect to receive upon the security’s current sale. In so doing, the Trustee considers all factors it deems appropriate, including, if relevant, external factors such as general market developments and news events. These investments are typically classified as Level 2 or 3 depending upon the priority of the significant inputs.

With respect to non-U.S. securities, if a significant event has occurred between the closing of the foreign exchange or market on which such securities trade and the calculation of net asset value, a valuation adjustment may be appropriate. Specifically, under appropriate circumstances, the Trustee will utilize a fair value statistical model for the International All Cap Equity Fund, the Global All Cap Equity Fund and the International Index Equity Fund to make fair value adjustments to the prices of non-U.S. securities based on movements in the U.S. markets after the close of foreign markets. These securities are generally reflected as Level 2. If a significant event occurs other than general movements in the U.S. markets, Northern Trust will determine whether that event might affect the value of the non-U.S. securities and whether, if so, the securities should be valued in accordance with Northern Trust Investment’s fair value procedures.

Unless believed no longer to accurately reflect value or to be reliable, foreign securities not traded directly or in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) in the United States are valued in the local currency at the last sale price on the applicable exchange on which such securities trade and such values are converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent at current exchange rates and are categorized as Level 1.

Fixed income securities may be priced using a pricing matrix to determine the value of fixed income securities that do not trade daily. A pricing matrix is a means of valuing a debt security on the basis of current market prices for other debt securities and historical trading patterns in the market for fixed income securities. United States Treasury securities and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities are valued at representative quoted prices provided by a vendor. These are typically categorized as Level 2.

To the extent that a Fund or the Balanced Fund invests in the shares of bank collective trust funds or of other registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange (mutual funds), such shares are valued at their net asset values per share as reported by the funds and are categorized as Level 2.

Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. An industry-recognized model is used to calculate the value of interest rate swaps. The model discounts the cash flows at each coupon adjustment date utilizing interest rate yield curve data that is based on current market sentiment and is validated against recent trading activity. Interest rates are compared with the market in order to validate results. These are typically categorized as Level 2.

Futures and option contracts are valued at the last settlement price at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued using an independent pricing service. These investments are categorized as Level 2.

The STIF and GSTIF are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value, unless otherwise determined by the trustee of such funds, and are categorized as Level 2. Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates or changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer of the instrument on the market value of the instrument.

Northern Trust’s Pricing Unit (the “NT Pricing Unit”) is responsible for gathering prices from independent pricing sources and supplying a value for each portfolio security used in the net asset value (“NAV”) computations. Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations do not represent the value at the time of pricing are fair valued in accordance with established policies and procedures. Northern Trust Global Investments has established a pricing and valuation committee (the “NTGI PVC”) whose membership includes representatives of Northern Trust Investments, as well as independent control personnel from Northern Trust’s Legal, Compliance and Risk Management departments. The NTGI PVC is responsible for the fair valuation of portfolio securities and the monitoring of the fair valuation process of securities.

In making a determination of the fair value of the security, the NTGI PVC may engage consultants and other service providers as well as consider factors that it deems appropriate to the determination of the fair value of the security. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the type of security; the current financial position of the company; the cost of the investment; information as to any transaction or offers with respect to the security; market value of similar securities; and news events. The Trustee monitors markets and the circumstances of the security’s issuer that affect the security’s valuation and the NTGI PVC will review if the markets and circumstances of the security’s issuer relevant to the valuation of the fair valued security change materially.

The Fund discloses transfers between Levels based on valuations at the end of each reporting period. Except for Bond Core Plus Fund, there have been no transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements for any of the Funds or the Balanced Fund for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. The Bond Core Plus Fund had a transfer of $1,687,500 into Level 1 from Level 2 due to the valuation at a readily available market closing price.

B. Stable Asset Return Fund (“SARF”)

The Trustee restructured the SARF on December 8, 2010. In connection therewith, effective December 8, 2010, the Trustee entered into Investment Advisor Agreements with Galliard Capital Management, Inc. (“Galliard”), Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”) and Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC (“PIMCO”), pursuant to which Galliard, Jennison and PIMCO, respectively, provide investment advisory services with respect to portions of SARF. In addition, Galliard is responsible for making recommendations regarding the appointment and retention of investment advisors for the portions of SARF for which it does not serve as an investment advisor. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 56%, 18% and 16% of the assets of SARF were allocated to Galliard, Jennison and PIMCO, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, approximately 10% of the assets of the Fund were allocated to the NTGI Collective Government Short-Term Investment Fund, which provides a “liquidity buffer” for SARF.

The SARF invests in SGICs, Security-Backed Contracts or Wrap Contracts, which are fully benefit responsive book value contracts with underlying fixed income securities. The SARF has entered into such investment contracts with three different financial institutions which allow participants to transact at contract value (principal plus accrued interest) without experiencing the price fluctuations of the underlying fixed income securities. SGICs are offered only to qualified employer-sponsored defined contribution plans that allow the net assets of the SARF to be reported at contract value. The minimum quality for SGIC issuers is A3/A- and all fixed income securities must be rated investment grade (BBB-/Baa3 or better) at the time of purchase. The Statements of Assets and Liabilities present the fair value of the investment contracts held with a separate adjustment to contract value. The Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets were prepared on a contract value basis.

The SGICs that the SARF has invested in “wrap” specific fixed income investments owned by the SARF and amortizes the realized and unrealized gains or losses on those investments over the Fund’s duration via the Fund’s crediting rate (which is the rate earned by participants in the SARF on the reference investments). As long as the requirements of the SGICs are satisfied, the issuer provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. An interest crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.

Risks arise when entering into any investment contract due to the potential inability of the issuer or contract holder to meet the terms of the contract. In addition, security-backed contracts have the risk of default or the lack of liquidity of the underlying portfolio assets.

The primary variables impacting the future crediting rates of security-backed contracts include:

 

   

the current yield of the assets underlying the contract,

 

   

the duration of the assets underlying the contract, and

 

   

the existing difference between the fair value and contract value of the assets within the contract.

SARF uses the following compound crediting rate formula for security-backed contracts:

CR = [(FV/CV)(1/D)*(1+Y)]-1-F, where:

CR = crediting rate

FV = fair value of underlying portfolio CV = contract value

D = weighted average duration of the underlying portfolio

Y = annualized weighted average yield to maturity of the underlying portfolio F = wrap contract and investment advisory fees

The investment advisory fee for the SARF, which is included as part of the crediting rate, is disclosed for financial reporting purposes and is included in “Investment advisory fee” in the accompanying Statements of Operations in the amounts of $330,291, $320,251, $657,970 and $636,993 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Because changes in market interest rates affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments, they can have a material impact on the wrap contract’s interest crediting rate. In addition, participant withdrawals and transfers from the SARF are paid at contract value but funded through the market value liquidation of the underlying investments, which may also impact the interest crediting rate. Gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the wrap contract value are included in Adjustment from Fair Value to Contract Value on the SARF’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If the Adjustment from Fair Value to Contract Value is positive for a given contract, this indicates that the wrap contract value is greater than the market value of the underlying investments. To the extent that the underlying portfolio of a security-backed contract has unrealized and/or realized losses, a positive adjustment is made to the adjustment from fair value to contract value under contract value accounting. As a result, the future crediting rate may be lower over time than the then-current market rates. Similarly, if the underlying portfolio generates unrealized and/or realized gains, a negative adjustment is made to the adjustment from fair value to contract value, and the future crediting rate may be higher than the then-current market rates.

All wrap contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent, under certain conditions. In the event that the interest crediting rate should fall to zero and the requirements of the wrap contract are satisfied, the wrap issuers would pay the shortfall needed to maintain the interest crediting rate at zero. This helps to protect participants’ principal and accrued interest.

i. Events Limiting Contract Value Treatment

SGICs are valued at contract value principally because participants are able to transact at contract value when initiating benefit-responsive withdrawals, taking loans or making investment option transfers permitted by the participating plan. A benefit-responsive withdrawal includes a payment to a participant arising from retirement, termination of employment, disability or death.

Only an event initiated by the Trustee at the level of the Collective Trust, such as termination of the SARF, would have the potential to limit the ability of the SARF to transact at contract value with plan participants. As of June 30, 2012, the occurrence of an event that would limit the ability of the SARF to transact at contract value with the participants was not probable.

ii. Termination Events by the Issuer

Investment contracts generally impose conditions on both the SARF and the issuer. Assuming conditions are met and neither the SARF nor the issuer is in default, the SARF can buy and sell covered investments and process withdrawals through the sale of covered investments in accordance with the SARF’s liquidity hierarchy.

If an event of default, within the meaning of a SGIC, occurs and is not cured, the non-defaulting party may terminate the contract. The following (among other events) may cause the SARF to be in default: a breach of material obligation under the contract; a material misrepresentation; a material amendment to the trust agreement, in the administration of the trust or in the investment of fund assets without consent from the issuer; and an uncured violation of the SARF’s Investment Guidelines.

The issuer may be in default if it breaches a material obligation under the SGIC; makes a material misrepresentation; has a decline in its long-term credit rating below a threshold set forth in the contract; or is acquired or reorganized and the successor issuer

does not satisfy the investment or credit guidelines applicable to issuers. If, in the event of default of an issuer, the SARF were unable to obtain a replacement SGIC, withdrawing plans may experience losses if the value of the SARF’s assets no longer covered by the contract is below contract value. The SARF may seek to add additional SGIC issuers over time to diversify the SARF’s exposure to such risk, but there is no assurance that the SARF will be able to do so. The combination of the default of a SGIC issuer and an inability to obtain a replacement agreement and/or an agreed upon plan with the issuer to converge fair value and contract value (in the event fair value is less than contract value) could render the SARF unable to achieve its objective of maintaining a stable contract value.

The terms of a SGIC generally provide for settlement of payments only upon termination of the contract or total liquidation of the covered investments. Contract termination occurs whenever the contract value or market value of the covered investments reaches zero or upon certain events of default. If the contract terminates due to issuer default (other than a default occurring because of a decline in its rating), the issuer will generally be required to pay to the SARF the excess, if any, of contract value over market value on the date of termination. If a SGIC terminates due to a decline in the ratings of the issuer, the issuer may be required to pay to the SARF the cost of acquiring a replacement contract (i.e. replacement cost) within the meaning of the contract. If the contract terminates when the market value equals zero, the issuer must pay to the SARF the excess of contract value over market value to the extent necessary for the SARF to satisfy outstanding contract value withdrawal requests. Contract termination also may occur by either party upon election and notice.

iii. Adjustments to Contract Value

At June 30, 2012, all SGICs held by the SARF were deemed fully benefit-responsive. The change in the difference between the fair value and contract value of the SARF’s fully benefit-responsive investment contracts during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 is reflected below:

C. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date on which the order to buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is increased by accretion of discount and reduced by amortization of premium. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of the identified cost of securities delivered.

A Fund’s portfolio of investments may include securities purchased on a when-issued basis, which may be settled in the month after the issue date. Interest income is not accrued until the settlement date.

Certain collective investment funds and registered investment companies in which certain of the Funds or the Balanced Fund invest may retain investment income and net realized gains. Accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses reported by a Fund or the Balanced Fund may include a component attributable to investment income of the underlying funds.

D. Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Funds and the Balanced Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

 

207

Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities and derivatives (other than foreign currency contracts) are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities.

Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations as increases or decreases in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.

E. Income Taxes

The Collective Trust has received a favorable determination letter dated March 9, 1992 from the Internal Revenue Service, which concluded that the Collective Trust is a trust arrangement described in Rev. Rul. 81-100, 1981, C.B. 326 (subsequently modified by Rev. Rul. 2004-67, 2004-28 I.R.B. 28) and exempt from Federal income tax pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Collective Trust is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement which could result in the Collective Trust recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. For the open tax years as of December 31, 2011, management determined that no uncertainties would have a material impact on the Collective Trust’s tax liabilities. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax liabilities may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further guidance and on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Authoritative accounting guidance establishes financial accounting and disclosure requirements for recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in any tax jurisdiction.

F. Sales and Redemptions of Units of Participation and Distributions

The units offered represent interests in the Funds established under the Collective Trust. The Collective Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number of units. Each unit will be offered and sold daily at the offering Fund’s net asset value. The Collective Trust ceased offering units of the Balanced Fund on July 2, 2009 although assets held under the Program and invested therein through July 1, 2009 may continue to remain invested therein.

Pursuant to the Collective Trust’s Declaration of Trust, the Funds and the Balanced Fund are not required to distribute their net investment income or gains from the sale of portfolio investments.

G. TBA Commitments and Roll Transactions

The Bond Core Plus Fund may enter into TBA (to be announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price for a TBA commitment has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the amount of the TBA commitment will not fluctuate more than 1.0% from the principal amount. The Bond Core Plus Fund holds, and maintains until the settlement date, cash or liquid securities in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. TBA commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, and such risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of other assets of the Bond Core Plus Fund. These contracts also present a risk from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their contractual obligations. During the period prior to settlement, the Bond Core Plus Fund will not be entitled to accrue interest and/or receive principal payments on the securities to be purchased. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under Note 2.A. “Security Valuation” above. The Bond Core Plus Fund may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if the Investment Advisor to the Bond Core Plus Fund deems it appropriate to do so. Upon settlement date, the Bond Core Plus Fund may take delivery of the securities or defer (roll) the delivery to the next month.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund through their investments in other collective funds may have exposure indirectly to this type of derivative instrument.

H. Futures Contracts

The Bond Core Plus Fund uses, on a limited basis, futures contracts to manage exposure to the bond market, and as a substitute for acquiring market positions in securities comparable to those held by the Fund (with respect to the portion of its portfolio that is held in cash items). Buying futures tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, credit and market risks.

The Fund enters into long (short) futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade where the exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to the transaction. Thus, credit risk on such transactions is limited to the failure of the exchange or board of trade. Losses in value may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or from illiquidity in the secondary market for the contracts. In addition, there is the risk that there may not be an exact correlation between a futures contract and the underlying instrument.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the notional value of the contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund periodically, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the underlying securities, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. A gain or loss is realized when the contract is closed or expires.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund through their investments in other collective funds may have exposure indirectly to this type of derivative instrument.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Bond Core Plus Fund had an average notional long (short) exposure of $(1,013,677) related to futures contracts.

I. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

The Bond Core Plus Fund and International All Cap Equity Fund use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities or as a hedge against the foreign currency exposure of either specific transactions or portfolio positions. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future date. Such contracts are valued based upon the difference in the forward exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is extinguished by entry into a closing transaction or by delivery of the currency. Risks in foreign currency contracts arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the contracts’ terms and from movements in currency values.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Bond Core Plus Fund and International All Cap Equity Fund had an average notional exposure of $7,188,615 and $10,744,368, respectively, related to forward foreign currency contracts.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund through their investments in other collective funds may have exposure indirectly to this type of derivative instrument.

J. Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Bond Core Plus Fund invests in swap contracts. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Fund uses interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts typically represent the exchange of commitments to make variable rate and fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Swap contracts typically have a term of one to ten years, but typically require periodic interim settlement in cash, at which time the specified variable interest rate is reset for the next settlement period. During the period that the swap contract is open, the contract is marked-to-market as the net amount due to or from the Fund in accordance with the terms of the contract based on the

 

209


Table of Contents

closing level of the interest accrual through valuation date. Changes in the value of swap contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Periodic cash settlements on interest rate swaps are recorded as adjustments to realized gains or losses. Up-front OTC swap payments or receipts are recorded to realized gains or losses upon termination of the swap contract.

Entering into a swap contract involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Notional principal amounts are used to express the extent of involvement in the transactions, but are not delivered under the contracts. Accordingly, credit risk is limited to any amounts receivable from the counterparty. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, the Fund enters into swap contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the Investment Advisor to the Fund. The Fund bears the market risk arising from any change in interest rates. Based on market fluctuation cash collateral may be exchanged between the parties to decrease the amount of counterparty default risk.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Bond Core Plus Fund had an average notional exposure of $7,552,594 related to interest rate swap contracts.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund through their investments in other collective funds may have exposure indirectly to this type of derivative instrument.

K. Option and Swaption Contracts

The Bond Core Plus Fund purchases or writes option contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or to hedge the fair value of other Fund investments. The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If an option which the Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration date, the Fund realizes a loss for the amount of the cost of the option. If the Fund enters into a closing transaction, it realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.

The premium received by the Fund for a written option is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. When an option expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund is obligated to purchase.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Bond Core Plus Fund did not write any options or swaptions.

The Bond Core Plus Fund may also purchase or write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or hedge the fair value of other Fund investments. Swaption contracts entered into by the Fund typically represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap contract on a future date. If a call swaption is exercised, the purchaser will enter into a swap to receive the fixed rate and pay a floating rate in exchange. Exercising a put would entitle the purchaser to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate.

Swaption contracts are marked-to-market at the net amount due to or from the Fund in accordance with the terms of the contract based on the closing level of the relevant market rate of interest. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gain or loss is recognized when the swaption contract expires or is closed. When the Fund writes a swaption, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the swaption written. Premiums received from writing swaptions that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss.

Entering into option and swaption contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, the Fund enters into these contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the advisor. The Fund bears the market risk arising from any change in index values or interest rates.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund through their investments in other collective funds may have exposure indirectly to this type of derivative instrument.

L. Derivative Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business the Bond Core Plus Fund and International All Cap Equity Fund trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk).

Similar to credit risk, the Bond Core Plus Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Bond Core Plus Fund has 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 Bond Core Plus Fund to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments.

The Investment Advisor to the Bond Core Plus Fund seeks to minimize credit risks to the Bond Core Plus Fund by performing extensive reviews of each counterparty and obtains approval from the Investment Advisor’s counterparty risk committee prior to entering into transactions with a third party. All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the Bond Core Plus Fund has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

The Bond Core Plus Fund restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master agreements with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions to include certain safeguards for derivatives and non-standard settlement trades. The credit risk associated with favorable contracts is reduced by master netting arrangements so that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Bond Core Plus Fund’s overall exposure to credit risk on derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

The Bond Core Plus Fund is party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Bond Core Plus Fund with those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements.

The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) between the Bond Core Plus Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. Cash collateral provided, and received, by the Bond Core Plus Fund for each type of derivative contract at June 30, 2012 is presented as Deposit with broker or Due to broker, respectively, on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

M. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

N. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Collective Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and that may contain general indemnifications. The Collective Trust’s maximum exposure under these provisions is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Collective Trust. The Collective Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Program Fee

A separate program fee (“Program fee”) is paid to each of the Program recordkeeper and ABA Retirement Funds. These fees are allocated to each Fund based on net asset value and are accrued daily and paid monthly from the assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund.

The ABA Retirement Funds Program fee is based on the value of Program assets and the following annual fee rate in effect during the two-month period ended February 29, 2012, and during the year ended December 31, 2011:

 

Value of Assets

   Rate of ABA Retirement
Funds Program Fee
 

First $3 billion

     .075

Next $1 billion

     .065

Next $1 billion

     .035

Next $1 billion

     .025

Over $6 billion

     .015

Effective from and after March 1, 2012, the Collective Trust pays a program expense fee to ABA Retirement Funds based on the aggregate value of the assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund at the following annual rate:

 

Value of Assets

   Rate of ABA Retirement
Funds Program Fee
 

First $3 billion

     .075

Next $1 billion

     .065

Over $4 billion

     .000

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, ABA Retirement Funds received Program fees of $689,589, $694,170, $1,364,374 and $1,360,847 respectively. This Program fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund as of the last business day of the preceding month. The Funds and the Balanced Fund bear their respective portions of this Program fee pro rata based on their respective net assets as of the time of calculation thereof.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Collective Trust pays a Program fee to ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ING Life”) equal to (A) $135,250 for each of the first twelve calendar months after that date, (B) $177,850 for each of the next twelve calendar months, and (C) $152,850 for each of the remaining calendar months of the term of the Program Services Agreement among ABA Retirement Funds, ING Life and ING Services; plus, for each calendar month of the term of the Program Services Agreement, a fee based on the aggregate assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund at the following annual rate:

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, the Program fee paid to ING Life was $4,929,256, $4,973,965, $9,647,723 and $9,802,043, respectively.

This Program fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund as of the last business day of the preceding month. The Funds and the Balanced Fund bear their respective portions of this Program fee pro rata based on their respective net asset values as of the time of calculation thereof. The Program Services Agreement contains certain service standards applicable to the performance of recordkeeping services by ING Services and imposes penalties that reduce the Program fee if these service standards are not met. Service penalties of $100,000 and $50,000 were imposed on ING Services during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively and the fees stated above are net of these penalties.

Effective April 26, 2012, the AQR Risk Parity Fund, in which the Alternative Alpha Fund is invested, makes payments to ING Life in the amount of .10% on an annualized basis of the assets allocated to the AQR Risk Parity Fund for administrative services rendered on behalf of the Alternative Alpha Fund. Such payments are applied against, and thus reduce, the Program fee otherwise payable on behalf of the Alternative Alpha Fund to ING Life. These payments are included in the operating expenses of the AQR Risk Parity Fund.

The Collective Trust has entered into a brokerage services agreement with TD Ameritrade, Inc. and TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. TD Ameritrade has agreed that, effective September 2, 2011, it will make payments on behalf of the Program in consideration of the Program’s services rendered with respect to the Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts. Such payments are applied against, and thus reduce, the Program fee otherwise payable to ING Life, and are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations as “Less: Expense reimbursement” in the amount of $127,018, $0, $276,447 and $0 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Such payments by TD Ameritrade are made quarterly in arrears, in an amount calculated based on the table below, based on the month-end values of Program assets held in TD Ameritrade brokerage accounts during such quarter.

 

Value of Program Assets

  

 

First $100 million

   .000%

Next $400 million

   .018%

Over $500 million

   .020%

Benefit payments under the Program generally are made by check. Within two business days before the check becomes payable, funds for the payment of benefits are transferred to a non-interest bearing account with Northern Trust. No separate fee is charged for benefit payments; rather, Northern Trust retains any earnings attributable to outstanding benefit checks, and these earnings have been taken into account in setting Northern Trust’s fees under the Program.

Trust, Management, Administration and Custody Fee

A fee is paid to Northern Trust for its trust, management, administration and custody of the assets in the investment options (other than Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts). This fee is accrued on a daily basis and paid monthly from the net assets of the Funds and the Balanced Fund, excluding the Retirement Date Funds, at the following annual rates:

 

Value of Assets

   Rate  

First $1 billion

     .115

Next $2 billion

     .080

Over $3 billion

     .065

Northern Trust is paid a trust, management and administration fee at an annual rate of .115% of the value of assets held by the respective Retirement Date Funds.

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, Northern Trust received trust, management and administration fees of $878,365, $875,308, $1,737,861 and $1,717,693, respectively.

Investment Advisor Fees — Managed Funds

The Investment Advisors for SARF are paid a weighted average fee at an annual rate of approximately .15% of the assets of the Fund.

If the aggregate market value of the Bond Core Plus Fund’s assets and the assets of certain other unaffiliated accounts are above $600 million (as of June 30, 2012, the aggregate value of such assets was $1.5 billion), the Fund pays its Investment Advisor a fee at the following annual rate:

First $600 million

     .25

Next $700 million

     .20   

Over $1300 million

     .15

Value of Assets    Rate  

First $25 million

     .500

Next $25 million

     .375   

Over $50 million

     .250   

The table below provides the respective blended annual rates of aggregate fees payable by each of the Large Cap Equity Fund, the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and the International All Cap Equity Fund to its respective Investment Advisors.

Fund    Rate  

Large Cap Equity Fund

     .290

Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund

     .477   

International All Cap Equity Fund

     .477   

Investment Advisor fees attributable to the portions of the Global All Cap Equity Fund invested in the Large Cap Equity Fund, the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and the International All Cap Equity Fund are accrued and paid from the Large Cap Equity Fund, the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund or the International All Cap Equity Fund, as applicable, not from the Global All Cap Equity Fund. The Global All Cap Equity Fund pays no Investment Advisor fees directly.

No fees are paid directly to Wellington Trust or AQR Capital Management for the investment management services they perform relating to the assets of the Alternative Alpha Fund. However, the Alternative Alpha Fund, as an investor in the Wellington Trust Real Total Return Portfolio and the AQR Risk Parity Fund, bears the operating expenses associated with those commingled investment vehicles, including investment advisory fees payable by the Wellington Trust Real Total Return Portfolio to Wellington Trust at the current annual rate of .55% and payable by the AQR Risk Parity Fund to AQR Capital Management at the current annual rate of .75% of the value of the assets of the Alternative Alpha Fund invested in, respectively, the Wellington Trust Real Total Return Portfolio and the AQR Risk Parity Fund. The Alternative Alpha Fund will also bear the expenses of the AQR Risk Parity Fund (Class I shares) on assets invested in it. The total annual operating expenses of this share class of the AQR Risk Parity Fund for its most recent completed fiscal year were 1.12%; however, the AQR Risk Parity Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to cap these expenses at 0.95% (excluding interest, taxes, dividends on short sales, borrowing costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense related to short sales and extraordinary expenses) until at least April 30, 2013.

Northern Trust Investments is paid a fee of .15% of the excess cash in the Bond Core Plus Fund, Large Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, International All Cap Equity Fund and the SARF that is swept to the STIF or, in the case of the SARF, to the GSTIF. Northern Trust Investments was paid $314, $8,927, $2,508, $1,279 and $37,456 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 and was paid $1,078, $5,004, $2,059, $1,628 and $41,145 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, and was paid $896, $17,384, $5,003, $2,967 and $77,758 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, and was paid $2,196, $9,722, $4,247, $3,072 and $82,044 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 from the Bond Core Plus Fund, Large Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, International All Cap Equity Fund and the SARF, respectively.

The Balanced Fund ceased offering its units on July 2, 2009 and investment of the equity portion of the Balanced Fund is invested through the Large Cap Equity Fund and investment of the debt portion of the Balanced Fund is invested through the Bond Core Plus Fund. Investment Advisor fees are not charged directly to the Balanced Fund as the fees are charged to the Large Cap Equity Fund and the Bond Core Plus Fund in which the Balanced Fund invests.

Operational Costs

Recurring expenses incurred in connection with operating the Collective Trust, such as printing, legal, registration, consulting and auditing expenses, are considered operational expenses and are accrued throughout the year. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, these expenses totaled $663,298, $723,798, $1,319,102 and $1,439,750, respectively. Fees in the amount of approximately $25,212 and $54,567 for the registration of $220 million and $470 million of units with the SEC were paid during 2012 and 2011, respectively and are an operational cost for all the Funds. These operational costs are allocated to the Funds and the Balanced Fund based on net assets.

For purposes of these fee allocations, assets of the Balanced Fund invested through the Large Cap Equity Fund or the Bond Core Plus Fund are included under the Large Cap Equity Fund or the Bond Core Plus Fund, as applicable, and not under the Balanced Fund. Assets of the Global All Cap Equity Fund invested through the Large Cap Equity Fund or the Small Mid Cap Equity Fund or the International Equity Fund are included under the Large Cap Equity Fund or the Small Mid Cap Equity Fund or the International Equity Fund, as applicable, and not under the Global All Cap Equity Fund.

5. Securities Lending

Certain Funds and the Balanced Fund are authorized to participate in the direct securities lending program administered by State Street Bank, under which securities held by the Funds and the Balanced Fund are loaned by State Street Bank, as the Funds’ and the Balanced Fund’s lending agent, to certain brokers and other financial institutions (the “Borrowers”). The Borrowers provide cash, securities or letters of credit as collateral against loans in an amount at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The Borrowers are required to maintain the collateral at not less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Cash collateral is invested in the ABA Members Collateral Fund (as defined below).

Effective July 1, 2010 and thereafter, the Funds that directly engage in securities lending (Bond Core Plus Fund, International All Cap Equity Fund, Large Cap Equity Fund and Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund) and the Global All Cap Equity Fund and the Balanced Fund, which indirectly engage in securities lending, no longer invest in the State Street Quality D Short-Term Investment Fund (“Quality D”). Instead, the cash collateral received by the Funds that engage in securities lending was reinvested in a cash collateral pooled fund (the “ABA Members Collateral Fund”) managed by State Street Bank as securities lending agent (“Lending Agent”) and dedicated solely to the Funds that engage in securities lending. At the time of its formation, the ABA Members Collateral Fund had a comparable investment portfolio and net asset value per unit as did Quality D. Thereafter, the overall level of securities loans made by the Funds will have a direct impact on the overall level of cash collateral held in the ABA Members Collateral Fund. For purposes of daily admissions and redemptions, the short-term portfolio instruments in the ABA Members Collateral Fund are currently valued on the basis of amortized cost, as provided for in the Investment Guidelines of the ABA Members Collateral Fund. Participant units in the ABA Members Collateral Fund are issued and redeemed on each business day (“valuation date”). Participant units in the ABA Members Collateral Fund were, through June 30, 2012, purchased and redeemed at a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit for normal course transactions, such as new loans and returns of borrowed securities and adjustments upon the mark to market of securities on loan. In the event that a significant disparity develops between the constant net asset value and the market-based net asset value of the ABA Members Collateral Fund, the Lending Agent will notify the Trustee that “special circumstances” exist and continued redemption at a constant $1.00 net asset value would create inequitable results for the unitholders. In these circumstances, the Lending Agent may direct that units be redeemed for all transactions or certain transactions at the market-based net asset value, engage in in-kind redemptions, or take other action to avoid inequitable results to unitholders until such time as the disparity between the market-based and the constant net asset value per unit is deemed to be immaterial.

The ABA Members Collateral Fund’s per unit net asset values and the net asset value of the Funds and the Balanced Fund investing directly or indirectly in the ABA Members Collateral Fund, are reflected at fair value for financial reporting purposes and differ from the per unit net asset value calculated for purpose of transactions experienced by participants in their accounts.

The Funds and the Balanced Fund are subject to the risks associated with the lending of securities, including the risks associated with defaults by the Borrowers of such securities and the credit, liquidity and other risks arising out of the investment of cash collateral received from the Borrowers.

A portion of the income generated upon investment of cash collateral is remitted to the Borrowers, and the remainder is allocated between the Fund or the Balanced Fund lending the securities and State Street Bank in its capacity as lending agent.

At June 30, 2012, the Funds’ fair value of securities on loan and investments of collateral value received at amortized cost and fair value for securities loaned was as follows:

 

            Investments of Collateral Received  

Fund

   Fair Value of
Loaned Securities
     Amortized
Cost
     Fair
Value
 

Bond Core Plus Fund

   $ 15,034,749       $ 15,340,211       $ 15,080,281   

Large Cap Equity Fund

     16,063,043         16,478,803         16,199,580   

Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund

     33,650,587         34,543,781         33,958,461   

International All Cap Equity Fund

     5,464,604         5,743,272         5,645,956   

Units of the ABA Members Collateral Fund continue to be issued and redeemed at a constant $1.00 net asset value per unit; however, certain dollar amount withdrawal limitations would apply to redemptions in connection with discontinuing participation in the securities lending program. At June 30, 2012, the market value of the investments in the ABA Members Collateral Fund, as reported by its trustee, was approximately 98.306% of amortized cost. The accompanying financial statements of the Funds and the Balanced Fund have valued their direct investments in the ABA Members Collateral Fund at their fair values, and have recognized unrealized losses. However, the Funds and the Balanced Fund have continued to value their investments in the ABA Members Collateral Fund for purposes of participant transactions at the amortized cost-based values used by the ABA Members Collateral Fund for daily transactions.

6. Participant Ownership

As of June 30, 2012, the following Funds had participants owning greater than 5% of the outstanding units of each Funds: Six participants owned 58.81% of the outstanding units of the Global All Cap Equity Fund, eight participants owned 71.94% of the outstanding units of the Alternative Alpha Fund, one participant owned 5.20% of the outstanding units of the 2010 Retirement Date Fund, and three participants owned 30.74% of the outstanding units of the 2050 Retirement Date Fund.

7. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events for the Funds and the Balanced Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has concluded that there are no recognized or non-recognized subsequent events relevant for financial statement disclosure.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this Report, including, without limitation, those relating to the objectives and strategies of the investment options, constitute “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The American Bar Association Members/Northern Trust Collective Trust (the “Collective Trust”) desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of such Act and is including this special note to enable it to do so. Forward-looking statements included in this Report, or subsequently included in other publicly available documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other publicly available statements issued or released by the Collective Trust, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the investment options to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For a description of these factors, see the descriptions of each of the investment options found in Item 1, “Business” of the Collective Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter and Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2012

Stable Asset Return Fund

The Stable Asset Return Fund seeks to provide current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The Stable Asset Return Fund invests in investment contracts, which we refer to as Traditional Investment Contracts, so-called “Synthetic GICs” with associated underlying assets, and high-quality, fixed-income instruments. Such investments may be made directly by the Fund or indirectly through its investment in other collective investment funds maintained by one or more banks, including Northern Trust Investments, Inc., which we refer to as Northern Trust Investments. Effective with the reorganization of the Stable Asset Return Fund on December 8, 2010, the benchmark for the Fund is the 3 Year Constant Maturity Treasury Yield.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Stable Asset Return Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 0.33%. By comparison, the 3 Year Constant Maturity Treasury Yield produced an investment record of 0.10% for the same period. The 3 Year Constant Maturity Treasury Yield does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the instruments that comprise that benchmark or for fund expenses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 0.67%. By comparison, the 3 Year Constant Maturity Treasury Yield produced an investment record of 0.33% for the same period.

The Stable Asset Return Fund outperformed the 3 Year Constant Maturity Treasury Yield for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Outperformance for the quarter was primarily driven by an overweight to asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund’s market to book value increased during the quarter from 103.0 to 103.4, reflecting the strong performance of the underlying bond portfolios.

The Stable Asset Return Fund outperformed the 3 Year Constant Maturity Treasury Yield for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. Outperformance for the period was primarily driven by an overweight to non-treasury sectors. The credit quality of the underlying bond portfolios remains strong with 81% of the portfolio’s securities rated AAA on average as rated by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch.

Bond Core Plus Fund

The Bond Core Plus Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns comparable or superior to broad measures of the domestic bond market. The Bond Core Plus Fund invests its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Bond Core Plus Fund, which is advised with the assistance of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 2.64%. By comparison, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index produced an investment record of 2.06% for the same period. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 4.19%, compared to an investment record of 2.37% for the benchmark for the same period. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the Index or for fund expenses.

Table of Contents

The Bond Core Plus Fund outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Outperformance was primarily driven by falling interest rates in both the United States and Australia. Exposure to both agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities was also positive for the quarter.

The Bond Core Plus Fund outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. Outperformance was primarily driven by falling interest rates in both the United States and Australia. Exposure to both agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities was also positive for the period.

Large Cap Equity Fund

The Large Cap Equity Fund seeks to outperform, over extended periods of time, broad measures of the U.S. stock market.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Large Cap Equity Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of -3.93%. By comparison, the Russell 1000® Index produced an investment record of -3.12% for the same period. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 9.13%, compared to an investment record of 9.38% for the benchmark for the same period.

Each Investment Advisor acts independently from the others and uses its own distinct investment style in recommending securities.

The performance of each Investment Advisor may be measured in the context of its own investment style.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Columbus Circle Investors (approximately 22% as of June 30, 2012) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Stock selection was weakest in the consumer discretionary sector, though this was partially offset by underweights to more economically sensitive sectors such as energy and materials.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of C.S. McKee, L.P. (approximately 29% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Underperformance was primarily within the industrials and energy sectors. Within the industrials sector of the portion of the Fund, the 14% drop in shares of Dover cost the portfolio 36 basis points, as concerns of a global slowdown, particularly in Asia, weighed on the stock. Within the energy sector, shares of Hess fell more than 26% in response to the 18% correction in oil prices.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Delaware Investment Advisers (approximately 26% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Positive stock selection accounted for all of the relative outperformance with the largest contribution coming from an underweight to financials, which are generally more credit sensitive. The telecommunications sector was another area of strength as it was the top performer in both the portfolio and benchmark.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Jennison Associates LLC (approximately 19% as of June 30, 2012) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Stock selection detracted from returns in consumer discretionary, where Fossil and Nike declined, more than offsetting the effect of solid gains in Amazon.com and Inditex. In information technology, data management holdings NetApp, VMware, and EMC lost ground on concerns that business investments in information technology could slow if the global economy continues to cool. Security selection hurt performance in energy, although an underweight position benefited relative return.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Columbus Circle Investors (approximately 22% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Generally strong stock selection across most sectors, particularly financials, was the primary driver of outperformance.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Large Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of C.S. McKee, L.P. (approximately 29% as of June 30, 2012) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. This portion of the Fund’s strong stock selection within the financials sector was the primary driver of outperformance, adding 89 basis points as financials were up over 20% in the period.

Stock selection and an overweight to information technology were the primary drivers of outperformance. Stock selection in consumer staples as well as an overweight to energy were also positive.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Denver Investment Advisors LLC (d/b/a Denver Investments) (approximately 15% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Lombardia Capital Partners, LLC (approximately 15% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Stock selection was positive or neutral in four of ten sectors, with materials, health care, and utilities performing the best. This was offset by negative stock selection in six of ten sectors, with financials, consumer staples, and industrials performing the worst. Sector selection had a negative impact detracting from performance for the quarter.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Frontier Capital Management Co. LLC (approximately 9% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of LSV Asset Management (approximately 14% as of June 30, 2012) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Both sector and stock selection detracted from performance for the quarter. An overweight to technology and underweight to utilities had a negative impact from a sector allocation standpoint. While stock selection was strong in the technology sector, this was offset by poor selection in the materials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (approximately 9% as of June 30, 2012) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. Stock selection in the information technology sector was the primary detractor from relative performance. This was largely driven by a reversal in some of the strongest performers from the prior quarter. Additionally, stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors and the portfolio’s overweight to the underperforming energy sector and underweight to the outperforming health care sector detracted from performance.

(approximately 14% as of June 30, 2012) positively contributed to the performance of the Fund, but underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared.

In terms of stock selection, the majority of underperformance relative to the benchmark came from selections within the industrial and health care sectors.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the portion of the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund advised with the assistance of TCW Investment Management Company (approximately 9% as of June 30, 2012) negatively contributed to the performance of the Fund, as well as underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index, against which the performance of this portion of the Fund is compared. The portfolio’s underperformance was primarily due to negative stock selection in the information technology and consumer sectors.

Strong relative performance was driven by positive stock selection, particularly in the health care, consumer discretionary and energy sectors. As technology lagged during the second quarter, the reduction in the number of holdings in the technology sector following the strong first quarter helped avoid wider losses.

Retirement Date Funds

The Retirement Date Funds provide a series of diversified investment funds, each of which is designed to correspond to a particular time horizon to retirement. Each Retirement Date Fund has an investment strategy representing specific risk and reward characteristics that take into account the remaining time horizon to most conservative investment mix. The longer the time horizon to the year in which a Retirement Date Fund will reach its most conservative investment mix, the greater is the Retirement Date Fund’s current risk and potential reward profile. The Lifetime Income Retirement Date Fund seeks to avoid significant loss of principal for investors who are considerably beyond their retirement date and is comprised primarily of bonds and shorter-term high-quality debt instruments to provide stability and income (although such Fund also has significant target equity exposure). The 2010 Retirement Date Fund currently seeks to provide a mix of long-term capital appreciation and stability of principal for participants whose retirement date occurred in or around 2010.

The Fund invests in publicly traded common stocks, other equity-type securities, medium- to long-term debt securities with varying maturities and money market instruments.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Balanced Fund experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 4.99%, as compared to an investment record of 4.93% for the benchmark for the period.
