Annual Review

The 12 months between August 2007 and July 2008 were difficult for the economy, as a number of headwinds led to a pronounced slowdown in U.S. economic growth. Gross domestic product expanded at a 4.8% rate during the third calendar quarter of 2007, but contracted slightly during 2007’s fourth quarter and remained sluggish in the early months of 2008.

Troubles in the credit markets contributed to economic weakness. Overextended homebuyers increasingly defaulted on mortgages, which in turn led to defaults on mortgage-backed bonds. Many leading financial institutions were forced to write down billions of dollars in investment losses as a result. Investors and policymakers, worried that some financial institutions may not be able to meet their obligations, became concerned about the stability of the financial system. Meanwhile, lenders became highly cautious about extending credit, and a credit and liquidity crunch resulted.

The Federal Reserve acted aggressively to restore liquidity and shore up the financial system. The Fed reduced its target short-term interest rate from 5.25% to 2.00% in order to make cash more readily available. It also extended credit to a wider range of financial institutions than it had in the past, orchestrated a buyout of troubled investment bank Bear Stearns, and acted to solidify investors’ confidence in faltering Government-Sponsored Enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The housing market remained in a deep slump throughout this period. Falling home values reduced consumers’ purchasing power by diminishing their borrowing capacity and depressed parts of the economy related to housing. Meanwhile, prices on energy, food and other commodities shot higher through early July as demand outstripped supply. Consumers, squeezed by higher prices, lower home values and a weakening job market, cut back their spending, which accounts for two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, and thus weighed heavily on growth.

Not all economic news was negative during the fiscal year. A weakening dollar led to a surge in exports, as U.S. companies’ goods and services became more competitive abroad. Government stimulus checks, which Americans received beginning in May, provided a temporary boost to consumer spending. Those two factors helped propel GDP to 3.3% growth during the second quarter of 2008, according to preliminary figures.

Stocks enter bear territory

Investors’ worries about the economic slowdown and problems in the financial system caused the S&P 500 index to decline 11.09% for this 12-month period. Small-cap stocks as measured by the Russell 2000 fell 6.71%, while the MSCI EAFE Index of 21 developed foreign stock markets lost 14.58%.

During the early part of the period, through early October 2007, stocks climbed. Many investors believed the economy could escape the housing slowdown without serious harm, and were encouraged by strong profits from non-financial corporations. Declining oil prices during this early part of the period also boosted the stock market.

Stocks subsequently fell steadily, however, as the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the resulting credit crunch unfolded, commodity prices skyrocketed, the housing recession deepened and the job market weakened. The S&P 500 lost more than 20% of its value between its peak on October 9 and its low point on July 15, meeting the technical definition for a bear market.

Financial stocks led the decline. The financial sector in aggregate lost nearly a third of its value during the 12-month period, as investors, worried about large write-downs and the credit market’s troubles, fled financial stocks. Telecommunications, industrial and consumer discretionary stocks also performed poorly. Investors favored the defensive nature of consumer staples stocks, helping that sector lead the market for the period. Meanwhile, high commodity prices buoyed energy and materials stocks.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The 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.

Letter to Shareholders (cont.)

With regard to style, growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks. Financial stocks comprise a much larger portion of value indices than growth indices, so their losses dragged down value’s performance. The Russell 3000 Growth Index, which measures the returns of large, medium-sized and small growth-oriented stocks, lost 6.11% for the period, while its value counterpart fell 14.75%.

Small and large stocks traded market leadership multiple times during this period, as investors tried to gauge the effects of swirling market conditions on various types of companies. Large-cap stocks produced superior returns for much of the period, as investors favored shares of firms with exposure overseas and the ability to self-finance growth. Small stocks overtook their larger counterparts late in the fiscal year, however.

Foreign stocks surged early in the period, led by strong returns from emerging markets in Latin America and Asia, and then declined significantly for the rest of the fiscal year. Signs that the U.S. economic slowdown could spread to overseas markets caused investors to flee foreign stocks, as did a general aversion to risk.

Bond investors favor quality over all else

Concerns about the financial system and the economic outlook caused fixed-income investors to pile into the highest-quality bonds. The bond market as a whole, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, gained 6.15% during the 12 months under review— but that healthy overall return masked the degree of turmoil and volatility in the fixed-income markets.

Treasury bonds rallied throughout the period, as investors sought a safe haven. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, which provide shelter from both credit risk and inflation risk, performed especially well. Prices on existing Treasury securities rose substantially, while yields, which move in the opposite direction of bond prices, declined considerably.

Short-term government securities experienced the greatest yield declines, pushed down by reductions in the Fed Funds target rate as well as investors’ desire for liquidity. Indeed, investor concerns about safety and liquidity caused demand for Treasury bills to reach a fever pitch at times.

In other sectors of the bond market, higher-quality sectors outperformed lower-quality sectors across the board. Agency issues outperformed high-quality corporate bonds, and high-quality corporates outperformed high-yield bonds.

Our perspective

We view the current environment with a great deal of caution, as we are concerned about both inflation and economic growth. We have focused on maintaining appropriate asset allocations for a slower economy, while emphasizing high quality in both equities and fixed-income securities.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind investors of the importance of diversification. Proper diversification for your financial goals can help you manage difficult periods in the markets, without sacrificing the growth potential you need to reach long-term objectives.

Thank you for your confidence in Pacific Capital Funds. If you have any questions or would like a Fund prospectus, we encourage you to contact your registered investment professional, call Pacific Capital Funds at (800) 258-9232 or visit our website at www.pacificcapitalfunds.com.

Pacific Capital New Asia Growth Fund

Investment Style

Regional, multi-cap, growth

Investment Objective

Long-term capital appreciation by investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of companies located in Asia’s developing regions, excluding Japan. Investments are not limited to any particular size or sector.

Investment Considerations

An investment in this Fund entails the special risks of international investing, including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. The Fund’s share price is expected to be more volatile than that of a U.S.-only fund. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, such as investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Investment Process

 

   

Follow active bottom-up investment approach

 

   

Invest for absolute versus relative return

 

   

Look outside benchmark representation for fresh opportunities

 

   

Identify sensibly priced, high-quality companies that exhibit long-term growth potential

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned -5.38% (Class A Shares without sales charge), outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI® AC Far East Free Index1 (excluding Japan), which returned -12.45%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

The MSCI® AC Far East Free Index (excluding Japan) underperformed global indices for the year ended July 31, 2008. The MSCI World Index returned -10.38% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -4.09% in U.S. dollar terms.

Asian markets were weak on concerns about rising inflationary pressures, driven by the oil price which hit new highs above $140 per barrel. Inflation data in the region was higher than expected and concerns emerged about the prospect of stagflation.

At a sector level Energy, Consumer Staples, Telecom Services and Utilities outperformed the MSCI Far East ex-Japan Index. Energy continued to rise in line with the price of oil while the other sectors benefited as investors moved into more defensive stocks. The cyclical Industrials sector underperformed and Information Technology lagged on poor demand and a weak outlook.

What helped the Fund’s performance?

Positions in Taiwan outperformed the MSCI Far East ex-Japan Index, in particular Uni-President Enterprises (Consumer Staples) and Chunghwa Telecom (Telecom Services) as investors anticipated that a presidential election victory by the KMT would be positive for relations with Mainland China and thus economic growth in Taiwan.

Several positions in China also performed strongly during the period including Energy company CNOOC, which rallied as the price of oil reached record highs. China Telecom also outperformed as it benefited from the restructuring of the Chinese telecom industry and was expected to gain market share from China Mobile.

What hurt the Fund’s performance?

On the negative side Lihir Gold (Australia: Materials) declined as the price of gold fell on profit taking and China Resources Enterprise (China: Consumer Discretionary) underperfomed the MSCI Far East ex-Japan Index on concerns over slowing beer consumption in China and loss of market share for its livestock distribution business in Hong Kong. Shinsegae (South Korea: Consumer Staples) lagged on worries about a slow down in the South Korean economy.

In the Information Technology sector Delta Electronics (Taiwan) and Samsung Electronics (South Korea) both underperformed as demand continued to disappoint.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by this report?

Over the year we continued to increase our exposure to companies in the Telecom Services sector, purchasing Chunghwa Telecom (Taiwan), a strong stable integrated telecoms franchise with a growing dividend yield, and Singapore Telecom, which is growing earnings from its investments in emerging market telecom companies and has strong cash generation from Australia and Singapore.

Elsewhere we purchased Lihir Gold (Australia: Materials) which we believe should benefit from the potential long-term rise in the price of gold, Yuhan Corporation (South Korea: Health Care), a leading pharmaceutical company conservatively run with a strong track record, and Taiwanese Information Technology company Mediatek which was attractively valued due to poor sentiment towards

technology stocks. We also bought Hong Kong utilities group CLP which we believe offers relatively predictable earnings in a difficult environment and President Chain Store (Taiwan: Consumer Staples) because of its attractive growth profile and the positive outlook following its recent award of Shanghai’s 7-11 franchise.

We sold Sembcorp Industries (Singapore: Industrials) due to worries on whether the company can execute its growth strategy successfully. We also sold financial stocks Shinhan Financial (South Korea), Standard Chartered (UK) and Cathay Financial (Taiwan) as part of our strategy to reduce exposure to the sector.

We took profits in China Shenhua (China: Energy) and Kingboard Chemicals (Hong Kong: Information Technology), and sold Hon Hai Precision (Taiwan: Information Technology) on valuation concerns.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

We remain defensively positioned and are maintaining a strong focus on sustainable cash flows as well as long-term growth prospects.

We are beginning to see some evidence of a slowdown in growth in the region. Although earnings reports remain in line with expectations we anticipate some negative surprises as the year progresses.

Although the current economic outlook remains unclear, we believe the current problems in the credit markets may have a significant impact on the underlying global economy. We remain cautious in the short-term, as we are concerned about the potential for stagflation. However, we believe that careful stock selection in the region could provide positive long-term returns.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI® ACWI ex US Index1. The Fund (Class A shares without sales charge) returned -9.03%, while the MSCI® ACWI ex US Index returned -9.30%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

Japanese holdings were down 13.4% while the MSCI Japan Index was down 14.8%. Positions in Sumitomo Trust (down 22.3%) and Nitto Denko (down 30.2%) had the largest negative impact on performance.

European holdings performed better than the MSCI Europe Index, -7.2% to -11.5%.

Swiss holdings were down 1.6% while the MSCI Switzerland Index was down 6.1%. The Fund benefitted from an average 3.2% overweighting to this market. The Fund’s investment in Roche Holdings had the largest positive impact with an 11.8% return.

German stocks held by the Fund declined less than the MSCI Germany Index, -2.7% to -2.96%. The Fund’s position in SAP had the largest positive impact with a 16.9% return during the period.

Holding a different basket of currencies than the MSCI ACWI ex US Index had a positive net effect on the relative return. A 2.2% average overweighting to the Brazilian Real had the largest impact on relative return.

Cash Reserves, averaging 1.0% of assets, had a small positive net impact.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by this report?

Change in absolute weights: On an absolute basis, the largest change in the regional weights was a 0.9% decrease to Europe.

From a sector perspective, the Fund’s largest absolute weighting change was a 1.1% increase to Health Care.

Change in benchmark-relative weights: Relative to the benchmark, the Fund’s Japanese weight decreased by 1.4% while the Emerging Markets weight increased by 1.0%.

From a sector perspective, the Materials weight decreased by 1.4% while Industrials increased by 1.1%.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

As expectations for global economic growth were revised downward for 2008, there may be some negative earnings revisions in the coming quarters. We believe, however, that these expectations may already be reflected in current stock prices. We anticipate that the fallout of the credit crisis, rising inflation, and slower economic growth in some regions may create challenges for equity investors.

Our investment process focuses on stock selection. In keeping with our long time horizon, we put a great deal of effort into researching individual companies: learning as much as possible about each company’s management, policies, challenges, markets, and competition. We believe our diligence leads us to invest in companies which create their own opportunities or that could enjoy improving fundamentals even during this volatile economic period. We believe this process may reward our investors over time.

Pacific Capital Small Cap Fund

Investment Style

Domestic, small-cap, blend

Investment Objective

Long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of small-capitalization companies.

Investment Considerations

Small-capitalization stocks typically carry additional risk, since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure and experience a greater degree of volatility than larger companies. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, such as investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Investment Process

Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management

 

   

Systematic small cap strategy: Emphasizes a quantitative stock-selection approach to identify companies with sustainable growth characteristics and timely market recognition

Wellington Management Company, LLP

 

   

Small cap growth intersection strategy: Combines fundamental research with quantitative valuation techniques in a disciplined framework to assess investment attractiveness

Mellon Capital Management Corporation

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned -11.86% (Class A Shares without sales charge), underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index1, which returned -6.71%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year, large caps (represented by the S&P 500) returned -11.09%, underperforming small caps (represented by the Russell 2000®) which returned -6.71%. Within the small cap universe, growth outperformed value (the Russell 2000® Value Index2 returned -9.95% versus a -3.76% return for the Russell 2000® Growth Index3). Within the Russell 2000® Growth Index, Energy and Utilities were the strongest performers, while Telecommunication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology lagged.

During the past twelve months, volatility has persisted as significant consumer headwinds, continued pressure on corporate profits, lingering credit market distress, and investor perception that the central banks of the world must now combat inflation at the expense of growth, weighed on global markets. Momentum trends generally continued within the equity markets, as the Energy sector maintained its strong leadership on the further run-up in commodity prices. Within the United States, tax rebate checks will probably boost domestic spending temporarily, but have not provided significant relief to the consumer from higher energy, food, and debt costs, and eroding home values.

The Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to weak stock selection within the Financials, Industrials, and Health Care sectors of the market. To a limited extent, these weak sectors were counteracted by relative strength in Materials, Telecomm Services, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

Since June 2006, the Fund has employed a “multi-manager” approach whereby portions of the Fund’s assets are allocated among three different investment sub-advisers: small cap value strategy managed by Mellon Capital Management (“MCM”), systematic small cap core strategy managed by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management (“NACM”), and small cap growth strategy managed by Wellington Management Company (“WMC”). Each sub-adviser utilizes distinct investment styles intended to complement one another, applying its own methodology for selecting investments.

MCM - Small Cap Value

There have been no major changes in this portion of the portfolio during the period. The portfolio remains diversified across many industry groups. Given the continued volatility in the financial markets, a strategy emphasizing strong fundamentals and sector diversification has served clients well over the long run.

NACM - Systematic Small Cap

All buys and sells in this portion of the portfolio are driven by NACM’s quantitative stock selection model based on each position’s relative attractiveness and contribution to risk in relation to existing portfolio holdings. During the period, there were minor changes in sector weights in this sleeve of the portfolio relative to the benchmark

WMC- Small Cap Growth Intersection

Changes in this portion of the portfolio are driven by bottom-up fundamental and quantitative research rather than sector-level, top-down views. During the 12-month period, the largest new purchases in this portion of the portfolio included Owens & Minor, a distributor of medical and surgical supplies to the acute-care market, WMS Industries, a global provider of gaming products to the legalized gaming industry, and Frontier Oil, a crude oil refiner and wholesale marketer of refined petroleum products. Our largest eliminations included Golden Telecom, a Russia-based telecommunication and internet provider which was acquired during the period, and apparel manufacturer, J. Crew Group.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

Looking forward, the global economy is expected to slow materially in coming quarters. As surging oil and agricultural prices are boosting inflation rates globally, central banks have become increasingly determined to fight inflation at the expense of economic growth. These negative shocks have come on top of existing concerns about the state of the U.S. economy and the health of the global financial system. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve Bank can find solace in the fact that, thus far, longer-run inflationary expectations are still well anchored. As such, we believe inflation in the U.S. is likely to peak in coming months and should be held back in 2009 by the expected cyclical weakness.

Longer-term, company fundamentals drive stock prices, and we are maintaining our discipline and focus on fundamentals. The sub-advisers will continue to employ a combination of fundamental and quantitative research to identify the most attractive stocks, while maintaining appropriate risk controls relative to the benchmark. Over the long-run, security selection will drive the Fund’s results, and we believe the Fund is well positioned to capitalize on the changing market environment.

Pacific Capital Mid-Cap Fund

Investment Style

Domestic, mid-cap, blend

Investment Objective

Long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of mid-capitalization companies the sub-adviser believes are reasonably priced, fundamentally strong and exhibit better growth expectations relative to peers.

Investment Considerations

Mid-capitalization stocks typically carry additional risk, since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure and a greater degree of volatility than larger companies. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, such as investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index1. The Fund produced a total return of -13.60% (Class A Shares without sales charge), compared to the S&P MidCap 400 Index which returned -4.96% for the same period.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

The day-to-day turbulence experienced in the latter half of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 subsided during the second quarter, while recession and inflation fears took hold of the worldwide economy. Gross Domestic Product2 (GDP) growth for the first quarter of 2008 was finalized at 0.9%, up from the fourth quarter 2007 reading of -0.2%. With the advent of stimulus checks in late April, retail sales spiked in May. This is expected to be a temporary elevation and is unlikely to stop another quarter of below-trend growth. The Index of Leading Economic Indicators, an amalgamation of 10 individual financial and economic variables, continued to fall and has not recorded a positive monthly reading since July 2007. Unemployment spiked to 5.5% in May, where it remained in June. This is the highest level since mid-2004, and is expected to continue to rise over the remainder of the year. Consumer confidence plunged to a five-year low, which is nearly half its July 2006 level. Rising food and energy costs continued to hit consumers hard, eroding the value of wage increases. Oil closed the second quarter at $140 per barrel, up approximately 50% in 2008 and the national average for a gallon of gasoline topped $4. The U.S. housing market continued to sag with year-over-year price depreciation of over 8.5% on existing homes, according to the S&P/Case-Schiller Home Price index.3 Housing starts hit their lowest levels since the recession of 1991.

Over the long term, our proprietary quantitative model shows strong discrimination between the lowest and highest rated stocks. The stocks in the highest deciles have an “intersection” of the following qualities:

 

   

They are trading at a reasonable price versus peer companies;

 

   

They are growing at a faster rate;

 

   

They have strong balance sheets and have a higher quality aspect to them; and

 

   

They are responsible with their capital.

An intersection of these factor groups was heavily punished during the second half of 2007 and the beginning of 2008. Stocks that had a combination of lower valuations, sustainable earnings growth and higher quality financials underperformed the S&P MidCap 400 Index in this market environment. The Fund held a majority of its weight in these types of stocks. The best performing combination of factors were stocks with high growth expectations, expensive valuations, and lower quality balance sheets. The Mid-Cap Fund holds none of its weight in these stocks. We believe that over the long term, portfolios with these characteristics do not outperform the market. We continue to stick with our discipline of buying companies with improving expectations, high quality balance sheets and reasonable valuations. Over the last several months, we have seen an improvement in our model’s discrimination between the highest ranked stocks and lowest ranked stocks, and have experienced a significant improvement in performance.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

Other than typical re-balancing, no major changes occurred during the period. We are maintaining our disciplined process that has delivered competitive returns. We have analyzed the current underperformance and firmly expect a reversion to characteristics that have worked in the past. In past periods of underperformance, we have “bounced back” as the cycle returned to reward our investment style.

Pacific Capital Mid-Cap Fund (cont.)

What is your outlook for the Fund?

We believe dislocations in the markets tend to create opportunity for our alpha4 model to outperform. We believe patient investors could be rewarded as these dislocations revert. Our stock selection model is dynamic and we have adjusted the portfolio to have greater exposures to quality and momentum, while maintaining the value factor exposure. In recessionary environments, we believe the following trends occur:

 

   

momentum tends to do well as a leading indicator for future performance;

 

   

quality also does well as investors believe companies with strong balance sheets will outperform their weaker peers;

 

   

value tends to underperform as investors prefer to own companies with the most favorable outlooks.

Our portfolio is positioned to have a broad exposure to the various factor groups with a tilt toward momentum and quality, while maintaining a value exposure. We believe the cheaper stocks in the universe should begin to see more positive returns when the market believes the economy has hit an inflection point. Going forward, we anticipate that reasonably priced stocks should not detract from performance like they did in the second half of 2007. We believe the portfolio is positioned to do well as our strongest performance tends to follow periods of underperformance.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The U.S. housing market continued to sag with year-over-year price depreciation of over 8.5% on existing homes, according to the S&P/Case-Schiller Home Price Index.3 Housing starts hit their lowest levels since the recession of 1991.

During the trailing end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, stocks that had a combination of lower valuations, sustainable earnings growth and higher quality financials underperformed the S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index in this market environment. The Fund held a majority of its weight in these types of stocks, which was the primary factor that influenced the Fund’s performance. However, as concerns continued to mount regarding the growth of the economy, investors began to focus on companies that exhibited strong long-term investment fundamentals. Our long standing approach of selecting companies with favorable earnings outlooks, reasonable valuations, high quality financials and strong growth characteristics performed well during this time. The model’s performance was strong during the first quarter of 2008 led by our momentum factor. This factor favors stocks with good prospects for future earnings and strong price performance. The quality factor continued to add value as we expected in this difficult economy. This factor favors companies with good capital discipline and balance sheet quality. Value factors continued to lag as cheap companies have written down book value and cut earnings projections. The strength in the combination of factors in our model led to good discrimination between the highest rated names and the lowest rated stocks. Over 70% of the weight of the portfolio is in the top two ranked quintiles. Our overall relative performance benefited both from the stocks that we owned, as well as avoiding many lower quality names.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

Other than typical re-balancing, no major changes occurred during the period. We are maintaining our disciplined process that has historically helped the Fund to deliver competitive returns.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

The economy continues to slow and market volatility is up as uncertainty has risen. During periods of high uncertainty, we believe our portfolio should outperform the S&P 500/Citigroup Growth Index. Going forward, we believe that reasonably priced stocks should not detract from performance like they did in the second half of 2007. Dislocations in the markets tend to create opportunity for our alpha4 model to outperform. We believe patient investors will be rewarded as these dislocations revert.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned -10.65% (Class A Shares without sales charge), outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index1, which returned -11.09%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

The day-to-day turbulence experienced in the latter half of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 subsided during the second quarter, while recession and inflation fears took hold of the worldwide economy. Gross Domestic Product2 (GDP) growth for the first quarter of 2008 was finalized at 0.9%, up from the fourth quarter 2007 reading of -0.2%. With the advent of stimulus checks in late April, retail sales spiked in May. This is expected to be a temporary elevation and is unlikely to stop another quarter of below-trend growth. The Index of Leading Economic Indicators, an amalgamation of 10 individual financial and economic variables, continued to fall and has not recorded a positive monthly reading since July 2007. Unemployment spiked to 5.5% in May, where it remained in June. This is the highest level since mid-2004, and is expected to continue to rise over the remainder of the year. Consumer confidence plunged to a five-year low, which is nearly half its July 2006 level. Rising food and energy costs continued to hit consumers hard, eroding the value of wage increases. Oil closed the second quarter at $140 per barrel, up approximately 50% in 2008 and the national average for a gallon of gasoline topped $4. The U.S. housing market continued to sag with year-over-year price depreciation of over 8.5% on existing homes, according to the S&P/Case-Schiller Home Price Index.3 Housing starts hit their lowest levels since the recession of 1991.

As concerns continued to mount regarding the growth of the economy, investors began to focus on companies that exhibited strong long-term investment fundamentals. Our long standing approach of selecting companies with favorable earnings outlooks, reasonable valuations, high quality financials and strong growth characteristics performed well during this period of uncertainty. The model’s performance was strong during the first quarter of 2008 led by our momentum factor. This factor favors stocks with good prospects for future earnings and strong price performance. The quality factor continued to add value as we expected in this difficult economy. This factor favors companies with good capital discipline and balance sheet quality. Value factors continued to lag as cheap companies have written down book value and cut earnings projections. The strength in the combination of factors in our model led to good discrimination between the highest rated names and the lowest rated stocks. Over 70% of the weight of the portfolio is in the top two ranked quintiles. Our overall relative performance benefited both from the stocks that we owned, as well as avoiding many lower quality names.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

Other than typical re-balancing, no major changes occurred during the period. We are maintaining our disciplined process that has historically helped the Fund to deliver competitive returns.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

The economy continues to slow and market volatility is up as uncertainty has risen. During periods of high uncertainty, we believe our portfolio should continue to outperform the S&P 500 Index. The cheaper stocks in the universe should begin to see more positive returns when the market believes the economy has hit an inflection point. Going forward, we believe that reasonably priced stocks should not detract from performance like they did in the second half of 2007.

Pacific Capital High Grade Core Fixed Income Fund

Investment Style

High-quality, intermediate-term, taxable

Investment Objective

High current income by investing at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities and in investment grade corporate debt securities.

Investment Considerations

Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Generally, bond prices fall when interest rates rise, and vice versa. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund returned 5.21% (Class A Shares without sales charge), underperforming its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Domestic Master Index1, which returned 6.47%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

The Fund’s underperformance versus the Merrill Lynch Domestic Master Index during this period was due to its relative underweight to direct Treasury issues and corresponding overweight to corporate issues versus the benchmark’s allocation. Rates rose a bit during the period under review and credit spreads widened as risk aversion continued to paralyze the credit markets. Our higher quality positions performed much better than lower quality bonds. Our underweight in mortgage-backed bonds helped preserve portfolio assets as mortgage-backed securities performed poorly. Wider spreads in U.S. Government Agencies provided opportunities to enhance yield. There was a meltdown in the Government Agency market as investors worried about the solvency of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. We have been underweight debentures issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, in favor of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Farm Credit Bank.

The U.S. Treasury calmed the markets by assuring investors that it will support Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

We continue to favor government bonds as the credit crisis continues; our corporate positions have been underweight finance issuers and overweight industrial names. Some of that overweight in industrials was reduced by selling Halliburton in favor of TVA as the Halliburton bonds had outperformed other issuers. The average duration of the portfolio is a bit shorter than the benchmark as Treasury rates look a bit expensive.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

We expect continued volatility in the corporate markets which could give us some opportunities to position for the longer term at very attractive yields.

Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund

Investment Style

High-quality, intermediate-term, tax-exempt

Investment Objective

High level of current income that is exempt from federal and Hawaii income tax by investing at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal obligations. The Fund normally invests 50%–75% of its assets in Hawaii municipal obligations—debt securities issued by or on behalf of the State of Hawaii and its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities that pay interest which is exempt from Hawaii income tax as well as federal income tax.

Investment Considerations

Income received from the Fund may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, depending on one’s tax status, to the federal alternative minimum tax. Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Generally, bond prices and values fall when interest rates rise, and vice versa. The longer the average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio, the greater the fluctuation in value. Since the Fund invests significantly in securities of issuers in Hawaii, it will also be affected by a variety of Hawaii’s economic and political factors.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund gained 2.77% (Class A Shares without sales charge), underperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Hawaii Bond Index1, which returned 4.09%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

This period saw the continuing impacts of the subprime crisis. More bond insurer downgrades (some former AAA are now below investment grade, such as FGIC, CIFG, XLCA). Even the “clean” bond issuers, FSA and Assured Guaranty, were put on AAA watch by Moody’s which led to another round of sell-offs in the money market and longer municipal space. Shorter municipal yields are now in the 90% of Treasury range while longer municipals are back to 100% or more.

Due to this volatility, many opportunities were created when rates on Variable Rate Demand Notes reset to very high levels and we purchased some of these for the portfolio at weekly reset yields of 6-8%.

These purchases helped the portfolio in this period. The Fund’s (Class A Shares) performance was similar to the Fund’s Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds2 peer group with a one-year percentile ranking of 60th (81 out of 135 funds) as of July 31, 2008.

The Fund’s exposure to slightly lower credit quality and non-Hawaii issues hurt the portfolio’s performance versus the benchmark in the recent period as the demand for high quality (State or County General Obligation backed) bonds was high during this volatile market period, but the Fund’s underweight exposure to long callable bonds was helpful over the one-year period versus the benchmark.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

The bond insurer downgrades lowered the credit ratings of the portfolio. Most notably were: AMBAC downgraded from (Aaa, AAA, AA) to (Aa3, AA, NR) and MBIA from (Aaa, AAA, AA) to (A2, AA, NR). The underlying ratings on the securities we hold are generally AA rated so underlying credit quality is good and they should not be as negatively impacted by further bond insurer downgrades.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

We expect the market to continue to be volatile for the foreseeable future. The rating agencies are moving by both voluntary and involuntary forces to recognize the generally high credit quality and low default risk of municipal bonds and may be moving as early as October to upgrade municipal bonds to a “global rating scale”. We believe this could be positive for the municipal market and our portfolio.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Pacific Capital High Grade Short Intermediate Fixed Income Fund

Investment Style

High-quality, short-intermediate-term, taxable

Investment Objective

High current income consistent with prudent capital risk by investing at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities and in investment grade corporate debt securities. Under normal market and interest rate conditions, the Fund’s duration will be between two and five years.

Investment Considerations

Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate with interest rate changes, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Generally, bond prices and values fall when interest rates rise, and vice versa. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return. Government and agency guarantees apply only to the underlying securities and not to the Fund.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund gained 5.83% (Class A Shares without sales charge), and underperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Domestic Master 1-5 Year Index1, which returned 6.52%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

The subprime Mortgage-Backed Security meltdown and credit market contagion of August 2007 and continuing through year-to-date 2008 was the dominant factor affecting performance. Our underweight to direct U.S. Treasury issues muted performance throughout the year as U.S. Treasury securities were the flight to quality debt instrument of choice in the markets. However, by fiscal year end our modest overweight to spread product—spread products are debt securities other than U.S. Treasury securities—enhanced performance particularly as the intense downward price pressure on Countrywide Financial Corp’s debt subsided in light of Bank of America’s acquisition which successfully closed on July 1, 2008.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

We continue to maintain a neutral duration target versus the benchmark and continue to work on neutralizing our yield curve exposures in addition to our total portfolio duration as markets remain volatile.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

With the Fed Funds target rate now at 2% we believe the bulk of Federal Open Market Committee rate cuts have already been handed to the market and we are nearing the end of that policy tool use for this cycle, particularly in light of the Federal government’s various actions to maintain liquidity and stimulate the economy for positive growth with the objective of averting a deep recession.

Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund

Investment Style

High-quality, short-intermediate-term, tax-exempt

Investment Objective

High level of income that is exempt from federal and Hawaii income tax by investing at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal obligations. The Fund normally invests 50%-75% of its assets in Hawaii municipal obligations—debt securities issued by or on behalf of the State of Hawaii and its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities that pay interest which is exempt from Hawaii income tax as well as federal income tax.

Investment Considerations

Income received from the Fund may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, depending on one’s tax status, to the federal alternative minimum tax. Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Generally, bond prices and values fall when interest rates rise, and vice versa. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return. Since the Fund invests significantly in securities of issuers in Hawaii, it will also be affected by a variety of Hawaii’s economic and political factors.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund gained 4.31% (Class A Shares without sales charge), underperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Hawaii 3-Year Index1, which returned 6.41%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

Ongoing aftershocks of the subprime crisis and more bond insurer downgrades (some former AAA are now below investment grade, such as FGIC, CIFG, XLCA) influenced the Fund’s performance. Even the “clean” bond insurers, FSA and Assured Guaranty, were put on AAA watch by Moody’s which led to another round of sell-offs in the money market and longer municipal space. Shorter municipal yields are now in the 90% of Treasury range while longer municipals are back to 100% or more.

Due to this volatility, many opportunities were created when rates on Variable Rate Demand Notes reset to very high levels and we purchased some of these for the portfolio at weekly reset yields of 6-8%.

These purchases helped the portfolio in this period. The Fund’s (Class A Shares) more conservative positioning versus the Other States Short Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds2 peer group has provided strong performance with a one-year percentile ranking of 18th (3 out 16 funds) as of July 31, 2008.

The Fund’s exposure to slightly lower credit quality and non-Hawaii issues hurt the portfolio’s performance versus the benchmark as the demand for high quality (State or County General Obligation backed) bonds has been high during this volatile market period.

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

The bond insurer downgrades lowered the credit ratings of the portfolio. Most notably were: AMBAC downgraded from (Aaa, AAA, AA) to (Aa3, AA, NR) and MBIA from (Aaa, AAA, AA) to (A2, AA, NR). The underlying ratings on the securities we hold are generally AA rated so underlying credit quality is good and they would not be as negatively impacted by any further bond insurer downgrades.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

We expect the market to continue to be volatile for the foreseeable future. The rating agencies are moving by both voluntary and involuntary forces to recognize the generally high credit quality and low default risk of municipal bonds and may be moving as early as October to upgrade municipal bonds to a “global rating scale”. We believe this could be positive for the municipal market and our portfolio.

How did the Fund perform compared to its benchmark?

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2008, the Fund gained 5.89% (Class A Shares without sales charge), underperforming its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1-3-Year U.S. Treasury Index1, which returned 6.76%.

What were the major factors in the market that influenced the Fund’s performance?

The subprime Mortgage-Backed Security meltdown and credit market contagion of August 2007 and continuing through year-to-date 2008 was the dominant factor affecting performance. Our underweight to direct U.S. Treasury issues detracted from performance throughout the year as U.S. Treasury securities were the flight to quality debt instrument of choice in the bond markets. However, clearly the Fund was reasonably well positioned considering the outperformance of its universe compared to its underperformance of the benchmark: +1.25% versus -0.87%. In addition, as of July 31, 2008, both of the major independent fund ranking services Morningstar and Lipper currently have their top overall rating on the Fund’s Class Y Shares: 5 stars from Morningstar2 (out of 146 Short Government funds) and Lipper Leader3 designations for total return and preservation (out of 82 and 4,117 fixed income funds, respectively).

What major changes have occurred in the portfolio during the period covered by the report?

The Fund continues to maintain a slightly shorter duration than benchmark position in anticipation of rate increases for the short end of the curve. Additionally, the Fund increased its Treasury weighting in the period believing that the significantly wider spreads on Agency debt should allow the Fund to uphold its competitive performance while lowering its credit exposure.

What is your outlook for the Fund?

With the Fed Funds target rate now at 2%, we believe the bulk of Federal Open Market Committee rate cuts have already been handed to the market and we are nearing the end of that policy tool use for this cycle, particularly in light of the Federal government’s various actions to maintain liquidity and stimulate the economy for positive growth with the objective of averting a deep recession.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The Fund’s Class Y Shares received 5 and 4 stars for the three- and five-year periods out of 146 and 137 funds respectively as of July 31, 2008. The Fund was not rated for the 10-year period. Each fund is rated exclusively against U.S. domiciled Short Government funds. Morningstar Rating™ is for Class Y Shares only; other classes may have different performance characteristics and may have different ratings. Ratings are subject to change every month and take into consideration the Fund’s full sales charge.

PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2008

 

1.   Organization

 

Pacific Capital Funds (the “Trust”) was organized on October 30, 1992 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust currently consists of the following investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”): New Asia Growth Fund, International Stock Fund, Small Cap Fund, Mid-Cap Fund, Growth Stock Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Value Fund, High Grade Core Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund, High Grade Short Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund and U.S. Government Short Fixed Income Fund. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value in four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. The sale of Class B Shares has been suspended since June 1, 2003 (except for reinvestment of dividends and exchanges of Class B Shares between Funds).

 

The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the fees paid under distribution (12b-1) plans, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, sales charges and exchange privileges. The Class A Shares of the New Asia Growth Fund, International Stock Fund, Small Cap Fund, Mid-Cap Fund, Growth Stock Fund, Growth and Income Fund and Value Fund have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.25% of the purchase price; the Class A Shares of the High Grade Core Fixed Income Fund and Tax-Free Securities Fund have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 4.00% of the purchase price; and the Class A Shares of the High Grade Short Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund and U.S. Government Short Fixed Income Fund have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 2.25% of the purchase price. The Class B Shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 5.00% as a percentage of original purchase price or sale price (whichever is less) if redeemed before the sixth anniversary of purchase, declining from 5.00% within the first year to 0% after the sixth year. The Class C Shares have a CDSC of 1.00% as a percentage of the original purchase price or sales price (whichever is less) if redeemed within twelve months of purchase.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Securities Valuation:

 

Investments in securities, the principal market for which is a securities exchange or an over-the-counter market, are valued at their latest available sale price (except for those securities that are traded on NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price) or in the absence of such a price, by reference to the latest available mean of the bid and asked quotations in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in securities in which the principal market is not an exchange or an over-the-counter market are valued using an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Such prices reflect fair values, which may be established through the use of electronic and matrix techniques. Short-term obligations that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus interest, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. The differences between cost and fair value of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

 

77


PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

July 31, 2008

 

In cases where market prices for portfolio securities are not readily available, a Pricing Committee established and appointed by the Trust’s Board determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of such portfolio securities. In addition, if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated, such securities may be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. In the event of an increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index greater than predetermined levels, the New Asia Growth Fund and International Stock Fund may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to fair value their international equity securities.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions:

 

The accounting records of the Trust are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions.

 

The Funds do not isolate the portion of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency transactions.

 

Reported net realized foreign currency exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency exchange fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalents of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency appreciation or depreciation arises from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Foreign Currency Contracts:

 

The New Asia Growth Fund and International Stock Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign currency exchange contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific foreign currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in “cross-currency” foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds’ foreign currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. These Funds enter into foreign currency exchange contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a forward foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities.

 

Futures Contracts:

 

Each of the Funds (other than the U.S. Government Short Fixed Income Fund) may enter into contracts for the future delivery of specific securities, classes of securities, and financial indices; may purchase or sell exchange-listed or OTC

 

78


PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

July 31, 2008

 

options on any such futures contracts; and may engage in related closing transactions. A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase or sell an agreed amount of securities or currency at a set price for delivery in the future. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will, respectively, give the Fund the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period.

 

The Small Cap Fund has entered into futures contracts for hedging purposes, such as to protect against anticipated declines in the fair value of its portfolio securities or to manage exposure to changing interest rates. The Fund receives from or pays to the broker, on a daily basis, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When a futures contract closes, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

Restricted Securities:

 

A restricted security is a security which has been purchased through a private offering and cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), or pursuant to the resale limitations provided by Rule 144A under the 1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Whether a restricted security is illiquid is determined pursuant to guidelines established by the Board. Not all restricted securities are considered illiquid. At July 31, 2008, the International Stock Fund held restricted securities representing 1.7% of net assets. The restricted securities held as of July 31, 2008 are identified below:

 

Issue Description

   Acquisition

   Shares    Cost ($)    Value ($)
International Stock Fund:

  * Purchased on various dates beginning 4/25/06.
  ** Purchased on various dates beginning 2/8/08.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income:

 

During the period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date if the trade was on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

 

Allocations:

 

Expenses that are directly related to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees, if any, are borne by that class. Other operating expenses of the Trust are pro-rated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

 

Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific share class) and realized/unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the High Grade Core Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund, High Grade Short Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund and U.S. Government Short Fixed Income Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the New Asia Growth Fund, International Stock Fund, Small Cap Fund, Mid-Cap Fund, Growth Stock Fund, Growth and Income Fund and Value Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for all the Funds.

 

Redemption Fees:

 

The New Asia Growth Fund and International Stock Fund may impose a redemption fee of 2.00% on redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares within 30 days from the date the Fund shares were acquired. Prior to October 16, 2007, the fee could be assessed on redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares within 90 days from the date the Fund shares were acquired. For financial statement purposes, these amounts are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets in “Proceeds from Shares Issued”. Redemption fees collected for the Funds for the years ended July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007 were as follows:

 

     Year Ended
7/31/08 ($)
   Year Ended
7/31/07 ($)

New Asia Growth Fund

   1,105    375

International Stock Fund

   2,369    813

 

New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of July 31, 2008, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 impacts the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.

Each of the five Independent Trustees receives a fee for their services plus the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred.

 

The Adviser has entered into a reimbursement agreement with the Funds in which it agrees to reimburse the Funds for certain fees charged by various intermediaries. The intermediaries, such as broker-dealers, banks, retirement plan administrators or other institutions, make the shares of one or more Funds available to their customers in accordance with relevant Intermediary Agreements and provide certain recordkeeping, processing and/or administrative services. This agreement can be terminated by the Adviser with 60 days’ written notice. The reimbursements made by the Adviser may not be recouped in future periods.

 

5.   Risks

 

The New Asia Growth Fund, International Stock Fund, and Small Cap Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Investing on an international basis involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, future adverse political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, and/or diplomatic developments which could affect investments in those countries. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rates of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. Certain foreign investments may also be subject to foreign withholding taxes.

 

The New Asia Growth Fund’s concentration of investments in securities of issuers located in the Far East Asia region may subject the Fund to the effects of economic and government policies within that region.

 

The Tax-Free Securities Fund’s and Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund’s concentration of investments in securities of issuers located in Hawaii may subject each Fund to the effects of economic developments and government policies within Hawaii.

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions from net investment income and from net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been paid or provided for in accordance with each applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and amounts of distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either

considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., paydown reclasses and foreign currency transactions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

 

Effective January 31, 2008, the Funds adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e. greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-than-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. Implementation of FIN 48 included a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal tax and the state of Hawaii (i.e. the last 4 tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

7.   Legal and Regulatory Matters

 

Citi Fund Services, Inc., certain affiliates of which provide various services to the Trust as described in footnote 4, has reached a settlement with the SEC regarding the SEC’s investigation related to its past payment of certain marketing and

other expenses with respect to certain of its mutual fund clients. Fund management has not determined the degree, if any, to which the Funds are affected by the settlement. Based on management’s review and consideration of the matter to date, management does not believe the Funds’ financial statements would be adversely impacted as a result of this investigation.

PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Pacific Capital Funds:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Pacific Capital Funds—New Asia Growth Fund, International Stock Fund, Small Cap Fund, Mid-Cap Fund, Growth Stock Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Value Fund, High Grade Core Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund, High Grade Short Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund and U.S. Government Short Fixed Income Fund (the Funds), including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of July 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each year in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each year in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The accompanying financial highlights for the period ended July 31, 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated September 1, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2008, by correspondence with custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of July 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each year in the two-year period then ended, and their financial highlights for each year in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board Determinations (Unaudited)

 

In March 2008, the Board of Trustees approved two amendments of the Trust’s investment sub-advisory arrangements, neither of which required consideration of the substance of those arrangements in the same manner as the Board’s annual review of their renewal. The Board approved an amendment to the Trust’s Sub-Advisory Agreement with Mellon Equity Associates (“MEA”) with respect to the Small Cap Fund, to reflect the merger of MEA into its affiliate Mellon Capital Management Corporation. In addition, the Board approved an amendment to the Trust’s Sub-Advisory Agreement with Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”) with respect to the Growth Stock, Growth and Income, and Value Funds, reducing CEP’s annual sub-advisory fees to 0.20% of the combined average daily net assets of all three Funds in excess of $500 million.

Expense Examples

 

As a shareholder of the Pacific Capital Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Pacific Capital Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

These Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2008 through July 31, 2008.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expense Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example

 

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Pacific Capital 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. 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 these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
