LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
FUNDS
(PHOTO OF MICHAEL K. HIRAI)
Dear Shareholder:
The U.S. economy rebounded in fits and starts this past year, finally pulling itself out of the depths of the Great Recession that gripped the world for more than two years. Making the year particularly challenging for investors were a few notable surprises — the massive oil spill that paralyzed businesses and destroyed the fragile ecosystems on the Gulf Coast, the European debt crisis, the “flash crash,” and the dramatic shift of power in Washington. Coupled with a ballooning U.S. budget deficit, stubbornly high unemployment, the threat of higher interest rates, and inflationary pressures, the stock and bond markets had much to digest.
Despite these shocks and surprises, the stock market climbed the “wall of worry” to finish the year on a high note with a gain of +15.1 percent. Over the last two years, the stock market gained over +45 percent, a remarkable result given the many uncertainties it faced, testing the will and commitment of investors.
I am proud to report that the Bishop Street Funds once again generated solid equity and fixed income returns in 2010, the result of an improving economy and business climate. The combination of supportive monetary and fiscal policies, stronger corporate profits, subdued inflation, and investor optimism proved to be the magic potion for positive returns in all major asset classes. The one asset class that lagged all year was cash, as short-term interest rates remained near zero.
The year ahead
With an economic recovery at hand and prospects for a more “normal” interest rate environment ahead, “riskier” assets such as stocks, corporate bonds, commodities, and alternative assets are likely to generate more attractive returns than would holding cash or fixed-rate bonds. As evidenced by the recoveries of General Motors and AIG, our equity markets are poised to move higher in the next twelve months.
The international equity markets are also likely to improve, although earnings growth rates, while positive, will decline from record levels. But as these emerging and developing economies continue to expand and grow, demand for

basic commodities will continue to increase. As a result, inflation protection will be important as Central Banks around the world print money to boost their respective economies.
The risk in 2011 will be that the Federal Reserve moves sooner than most expect, particularly as consumer confidence improves and investors become more comfortable embracing additional risk. The bond market will be tested again as budget deficits, easy money policies, and rising inflation erodes the value of fixed income investments.
Diversification remains the key
As we have repeated in years past, investors should remain focused on asset allocation and diversification as the cornerstones of their investment portfolios, as it is difficult to predict what the future will hold. There is no doubt that difficult and challenging times are ahead; however, a carefully designed investment portfolio offering inflation protection and growth opportunities will be important.
Our Bishop Street Funds are actively managed with these principles in mind and will be structured to deliver solid returns to our shareholders. Our team remains committed to offering investment value in a manner consistent with each Fund’s stated goals and objectives. Further, we believe that a balanced portfolio consisting of a mix of our equity, fixed income, and money market funds should serve as a valuable foundation in your investment portfolio.
Thank you again for investing with the Bishop Street Funds. As always, we value your continued trust and confidence.
Sincerely,
-s- Michael K. Hirai

DEFINITIONS OF COMPARATIVE INDICES
FUNDS
Definitions of Comparative Indices
Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index is a widely-recognized, market value weighted index of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency obligations, corporate debt backed by the U.S. government and fixed-rate non-convertible corporate debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments and agencies. All securities in the Index are rated investment grade (BBB) or higher, with maturities of at least one year.
Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is a widely-recognized index of municipal bonds with maturities of at least one year.
Lipper Corporate A-Rated Debt Funds Objective — Funds that invest primarily in corporate debt issues rated “A” or better or government issues.
Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Classification — Funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above Lipper’s USDE large-cap floor. Large-cap value funds typically have a below average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Composite Index.
Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Classification — Funds that, by portfolio practice, invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P Super Composite 1500 Index. Multi-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P Super Composite 1500 Index.
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Objective — Funds that invest in municipal debt issues with dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten years and are exempt from taxation on a specified city or state basis.
The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap value segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics.
The S&P 500 Growth Index is a subset of the S&P 500 Index and consists of those companies with the highest price-to book ratios.
The S&P 500 Composite Index is a widely recognized index of 500 stocks designed to mimic the overall U.S. equity market’s industry weightings.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
FUNDS
Strategic Growth Fund
In spite of fluctuations between months of under and over performance of the market due to investors’ uncertainties and lack of visibility, 2010 was positive overall for US equities, especially in on the last quarter.
Despite strong 4Q earnings, the year started with a disappointing month of January where cautious 2010 guidance together with mixed economic indicators and growing concerns about the Chinese bubble weighed on the outlook. From February to April, US equities rose on hopes of a solution to the Greek Crisis and a favorable stance on interest rates. However the outperformance did not last as growing uncertainties relative to the stimulus package, the sovereign debt turmoil in Europe and its consequences on exchange rates pushed equities down in the following quarter.
The end of the year was positive for US equity markets. A rather confident mood, good earnings reports and economic indicators as well as signs of the Federal Reserve’s commitment to supporting the economy facilitated a “year-end rally”. Meanwhile, overseas issues such as sovereign debt in Europe or the risk of overheating in China seemed to recede and the dollar appeared to be stabilizing. It also seemed that sentiment began to spread among investors that getting decent returns in 2011 might require accepting to come back towards riskier asset classes, possibly contributing to pushing the market up.
With 8 months ahead or in line with its benchmark, our portfolio achieves a strong outperformance over 2010, particularly thanks to our stock picking. Over the year, the turnover has been consistent with long term levels.
The first quarter was the only one to post an underperformance as our portfolio was penalized by its most defensive stocks. The rest of the year was positive in the most part as our strategy benefited from our stock picking and our increasing sensitivity to the economy. The Technology sector was a solid contributor over the year. 2010 ended with a small correction in December, which is consistent with our growth bias, as value slightly outperformed during the month. Our strategy finished thereby approximately 550 bps ahead of the S&P 500 Index. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Fund returned 18.89% versus 15.05% for the S&P 500 Growth Index, 16.38% for the S&P 500 Composite Index and 15.91% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Classification.
 
December 31, 2010 5 www.bishopstreetfunds.com

 


 

During the year the turnover fluctuated between months of strong movement (3-4 changes) and very calm periods, adding up to a total rate of around 50%. In the first months, the trades were meant to move towards a less defensive profile and our portfolio reached the maximum overweight in the Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors in May.
Through the summer, the information communicated by companies on current trends, as well as a less favorable outlook in some macroeconomic indicators, led us marginally to reduce our exposure to consumption. Although lessened by this move, the growth bias of our portfolio remained positive throughout the year with a slight valuation premium.
As we continued to lack visibility through the end of the year, our last trades allowed us to further reduce our Technology overweight in favor of Industrials. We thus finished with a less aggressive stance than in the previous months and a Beta very close to 1.
With an expected long term earnings growth of 13.86% p.a. and a PE ratio of 14.29 times the next twelve months results, our current selection is very consistent with its characteristics a year ago (13.93% and 14.08). Relative to the S&P 500 Index, whose long term earnings growth rose and whose earnings multiple declined in 2010, the growth bias remains but the comparison looks less favorable than last year; this is due to our favoring growth sustainability rather than just a cyclical recovery in earnings.
Attention is now going to focus on 2011. A recovering economy in America and a resilient, although less exuberant growth in the large developing countries should create a favorable environment. Expected return comparisons should also push investors back towards riskier asset classes, but exchange rates and companies issuing their earnings guidance will remain causes of volatility.
We remain confident about the potential of equities, and the US market in particular. As mentioned in previous reports, we believe that the economic recovery is underway, and probably a little stronger than many are expecting. With resilient demand, manageable exchange rates and a gradual rise in confidence, earnings should grow nicely in 2011. In the meantime, the S&P 500 Index trades at a relatively low PE of 13.2, which can only make equities, look more attractive when compared to alternative asset classes, whose returns in the coming year look poised to remain subdued.

Although this threat may not materialize as early as 2011, inflation is among the concerns that could derail this positive development. With a gradual rise in global growth, demand for energy and commodities is likely to push prices up.
We will also keep in mind that budget deficits and sovereign debt issues remain a threat that can destabilize currencies or markets at any moment. The measures taken by European leaders to reassure the international community met their short term objective but many uncertainties remain about their effectiveness, especially in the event of attacks against countries larger than Greece or Ireland.
In the shorter term, given that the economic rebound remains fragile, comments made by companies setting or refining their 2011 guidance over the next few weeks are also going to be key. They will certainly involve a few surprises or scenario adjustments, which could cause some volatility.
This represents the management’s assessment of the Funds and the market environment at a specific point in time and should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
FUNDS
Dividend Value Fund
Effective February 1, 2010, the Large Cap Core Equity Fund changed its name to the Dividend Value Fund (the “Fund”) and the benchmark of the Fund changed to the Russell 1000 Value Index. The portfolio management team of the Fund was replaced upon the change of strategy. Under the new format and the new portfolio management team, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. Since the inception of the change, the dividend per share of the Fund more than doubled from $0.0608 in 2009 to $0.1595 in 2010.
Our investment process focuses on companies that generate significant and sustainable free cash flows from operations with management teams that are willing to reward shareholders through increased dividend payments over time. Our team’s fundamental concepts of credit quality, strong business models and valuation are based on current and projected cash flows. We believe that paying dividends is a sign of capital discipline, and companies that exhibit strong capital discipline are likely to be more successful over time. By combining the free cash flow concept and dividends, we seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted performance by investing in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying companies.
In early Spring of 2010, the stock market continued its rally from 2009 against a strengthening economic backdrop. However, softening of the leading indicators, lack of job growth combining with the European debt crisis raised concerns among U.S. investors and the Russell 1000 Value Index declined by 11.15% in the second quarter. By the end of the third quarter, the prospect of QE2 (quantitative easing) revived the stock market and earlier losses were reversed. The rally continued into the fourth quarter and the U.S. stock market finished 2010 on a strong note as investors became more aggressive. The year saw low quality stocks outperforming high quality stocks by a large margin. Consumer discretionary, energy and materials sectors outperformed defensive sectors such as consumer staples, health care and utilities. In addition, small cap stocks generally outperformed larger cap stocks. In this environment, the Fund performed strongly through August but gave back all of its outperformance and more in the last few months.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund returned 13.07% after expenses versus 15.51% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. Since the inception of the strategy (February 1, 2010), the Fund had a cumulative return of 17.73% after expenses versus 18.85% for the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The Fund’s underweight position in financials was a positive to performance. Within financials, we kept our bank holdings at below benchmark levels as the regulatory outlook is still uncertain. Avoiding Bank of America Corp and Goldman Sachs Group Corp bolstered relative returns. Our team focused instead on insurers and asset managers. Both Blackrock, Inc. and T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. posted strong double digit returns as the stock market advanced.
Our stock selection resulted in strong returns in the industrials sector. Deere & Co. returned over 50% as higher food prices propelled agricultural equipment sales. Parker Hannifin Corp., a diversified industrial company, was up over 60% during 2010 as the company benefited from the early cycle inventory restocking and cost reduction actions by its management.
The Fund lagged in the consumer discretionary sector mainly as a result of the relative outperformance of the cable and media stocks Comcast Corp., Timer Warner Cable, Inc. and Walt Disney Co., which the Fund did not own.
Results in the information technology sector lagged as a result of the Fund’s holdings in Microsoft Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. Microsoft continues to generate strong free cash flow from operations and increased its quarterly dividend by over 20% in November. We believe that Microsoft still has a strong product replacement cycle ahead with its release of the Windows 7 operating system. We sold our Hewlett-Packard position as the company’s strategic direction is unclear under its new CEO.
The stock market ended the year on a positive note. Looking ahead, however, we believe that economic growth will proceed at a slower pace. Corporate profits will face headwind with rising costs and tougher comparisons. Longer term issues still remain with the U.S. and other developed countries having excessive levels of government debt. Quantitative easing is not without risk and its effect remains to be seen. With the recent rally in the later part of the year, the valuation disparity is growing larger between the large cap high quality stocks and the low quality stocks. As a result, we believe that high quality dividend-paying stocks are positioned to perform relatively well in the coming year. They are still reasonably priced in comparison to other asset classes, and dividends could be an attractive incentive as some corporate dividends are exceeding the bond yields of the same issuers. We continue to look for companies with solid balance sheets that generate strong and sustainable free cash flow from operations. The Fund is well positioned to benefit from this investment theme.

BISHOP STREET
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
FUNDS
High Grade Income Fund
Following renewed optimism for a strengthening economy, the financial markets faced a string of setbacks that rekindled fears of a double-dip recession. As a result, the Federal Reserve continued its efforts to keep the U.S. economy afloat, injecting liquidity into the system and leaving the Fed Funds rate near zero, but this did little to calm the fears of investors. The end result was an increase in volatility and a dramatic fall and rise in interest rates into year-end as investors worried about inflation. In particular, investors grew wary of a second round of quantitative easing and the longer-term harm it would bring.
Meanwhile, business confidence and corporate earnings improved, helping to drive the stock market higher by 15%. Along with the considerable gains earned in 2009, the S&P 500 index gained more than 86% from the lows of March 2009. An increase in risk appetites helped the bond markets as well as investors reached for yield in corporate bonds, mortgages, and asset-backed securities. In particular, the corporate bond market rebounded sharply from its lows in April, significantly outperforming most other investment-grade sectors. We are pleased to report that the High Grade Income Fund experienced another good year, generating a +5.63% return for Shareholders while maintaining a high return/low risk profile. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Fund returned 5.63% versus 6.59% for the Barclays U.S. Government/Credit index and 7.51% for the Lipper Corporate Debt A-Rated Objective.
Looking ahead, we do expect considerable improvement in the investment grade fixed income markets as the economy and market valuations continue to improve. Although investor sentiment remains negative, this period of uncertainty has created an opportunity to capture unrecognized values and patience will be the key to long-term success. Despite the many near-term challenges that lie ahead, we believe our shareholders and the High Grade Income Fund are poised to realize these benefits in the years to come.
This represents the management’s assessment of the Funds and the market environment at a specific point in time and should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice.

BISHOP STREET
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
FUNDS
Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund
Following renewed optimism for a strengthening economy, the financial markets faced a string of setbacks that rekindled fears of a double-dip recession. As a result, the Federal Reserve continued its efforts to keep the U.S. economy afloat, injecting liquidity into the system and leaving the Fed Funds rate near zero but this did little to calm the fears of investors. The end result was an increase in volatility and a dramatic fall and rise in interest rates into year-end as investors worried about inflation. In particular, investors grew wary of a second round of quantitative easing and the longer-term harm it would bring.
Meanwhile, State and local governments continued to struggle with budget shortfalls, unfunded pension and healthcare liabilities, and a higher cost of borrowing due to the steep rise in interest rates in the second half of the year. As a result, municipal bond returns, while positive for the year, trailed most other fixed income sectors and short-term bonds outperformed long-dated maturities. But despite all of the challenges and surprises, the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund Class I shares generated a 1.70% return, versus 2.38% for the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and 1.12% for the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Objective.
Looking ahead, we do expect considerable improvement in the municipal bond markets as the economy and market valuations continue to improve. Although investor sentiment remains negative, this period of uncertainty has created an opportunity to capture unrecognized values and patience will be the key to long-term success. Despite the many near-term challenges that lie ahead, we believe our shareholders and the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund are poised to realize these benefits in the years to come.
This represents the management’s assessment of the Funds and the market environment at a specific point in time and should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

Government Money Market Fund
The US recovery continued throughout the 2010 calendar year. At the beginning of the year, investors expected a significant rebound in economic growth and were focused on the risk of rising short term interest rates. The yield curve steepened in expectation of a tightening of monetary policy later in the year. However, growth failed to materialize in significant magnitude and investor sentiment shifted to concern over a double dip recession. Interest rates subsequently declined across the yield curve as the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) discussed increasing non-traditional monetary stimulus through additional security purchases otherwise known as “quantitative easing”. Ultimately, the Fed announced plans for US Treasury purchases of an estimated $600 billion through June 2011. Markets responded positively to the announcement and the coincident improvement in economic data. Despite positive developments in the financial markets, the money market industry continued to experience an extremely low interest rate environment.
The pace of economic growth slowed in the middle of the year before regaining momentum in the fourth quarter. Evidence of the recovery was most apparent in data from the manufacturing sector which continued to expand throughout the year. Consumption rebounded from low levels as the year progressed. The labor sector, however, continued to lag. Despite positive job growth in 2010, the labor sector has been unable to offset the significant number of job losses experienced during the recession. A sustainable increase in consumption would seem unlikely to occur until after the unemployment rate declines.
A consequence of monetary stimulus is depressed short-term interest rates. In the past year, short term government yields remained at the lowest levels in history. The low interest rate environment can be attributed to the near-zero federal funds target rate. The challenges of low interest rates are most evident

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

in the money market industry which has a significant exposure to short term US Treasury Bills. The elevated allocation to low yielding Treasury Bills has depressed fund yields across the industry.
The Bishop Street Government Money Market Fund maintained a very conservative investment strategy, limiting investments to US Treasury and Agency Obligations. The maturity of the portfolio was extended slightly in duration to take advantage of yield opportunities further out the yield curve, but within the limitations of the revised regulatory framework. The Money Market fund is regulated by Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended Rule 2a-7 in early 2010. The amendments provided increased transparency and a reduced level of risk for investors. We continue to strive to improve the yield of the Fund while maintaining a high level of credit quality.
This represents the management’s assessment of the Funds and the market environment at a specific point in time and should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice.

Bishop Street Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
The amounts included in the Notes to Financial Statements are in thousands unless otherwise noted.
1. ORGANIZATION
     The Bishop Street Funds (the “Trust”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management investment company. The Bishop Street Funds consist of a series of five funds (each a Fund, collectively the “Funds”) which includes the Strategic Growth Fund, Dividend Value Fund (formerly Large Cap Core Equity Fund) High Grade Income Fund, Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, and the Government Money Market Fund. Each Fund is diversified, with the exception of Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, which is non-diversified. Class A Shares of the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund are subject to a sales load as disclosed in the prospectus. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
     The Funds’ investments in equity securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price in the most advantageous market, if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the fair value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
 
Bishop Street Funds 58  

 


 

     Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Funds’ Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been delisted from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
     Investment securities held by the Government Money Market Fund are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under this valuation method, purchase discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.
     In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
    Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
 
    Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, etc.); and
 
    Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
     Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

Bishop Street Funds
     As of December 31, 2010, all of the Strategic Growth Fund’s investments were considered level 1. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities. For details of the investment classification, reference the Schedule of Investments.

Federal Income Taxes
     It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
     The Funds evaluate 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. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 3 tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
     Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are on the basis of specific identification. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date.
     Discounts and premiums are accreted or amortized over the life of each security and are recorded as interest income. The High Grade Income and Hawaii Municipal Bond Funds use the effective interest method. The Government Money Market Fund uses the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Bishop Street Funds
Repurchase Agreements
     In connection with transactions involving repurchase agreements, a third party custodian bank takes possession of the underlying securities (“collateral”), the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. Such collateral will be cash; debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, securities that at the time the repurchase agreement is entered into are rated in the highest category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) or unrated category by an NRSRO, as determined by the Adviser. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.
Classes
     Class-specific expenses are borne by the applicable class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains/losses and non class-specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets. Distribution fees are the only class-specific expense.
Expenses
     Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated to each of the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
     The Strategic Growth and Dividend Value, (formerly Large Cap Core Equity Fund) Funds declare and pay dividends from any net investment income, if available, on a quarterly basis. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on a monthly basis for the High Grade Income, Hawaii Municipal Bond, and Government Money Market Funds. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually for all Funds. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Front-End Sales Commission
     Front-End sales commissions (the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares.
Cash Overdraft Charges
     Per the terms of an informal agreement with Union Bank, N.A., the custodian of the Funds, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of the Prime Rate plus 4.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in miscellaneous

expenses on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no cash overdraft charges.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT
     Investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Bishop Street Capital Management (the “Adviser”), a registered adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of First Hawaiian Bank. First Hawaiian Bank is a subsidiary of Banc West Corporation, itself a subsidiary of BNP Paribas. The Adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.74% of the average daily net assets of the Strategic Growth and the Dividend Value Funds, 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the High Grade Income Fund, 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund. Beginning April 30, 2010, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee to the extent necessary to keep operating expenses at or below certain percentages of the respective average daily net assets. Prior to April 30, 2010 these waivers were voluntary, with the same stated rates. The contractual expense limitations are as follows:
         
Strategic Growth Fund, Class I Shares
    1.25 %
Dividend Value Fund, Class I Shares
    1.05 %
High Grade Income Fund, Class I Shares
    0.76 %

Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, Class A Shares
    0.80 %
Government Money Market Fund, Class I Shares
    0.50 %
Government Money Market Fund, Class A Shares
    0.75 %
These fees and waivers are labeled on the Statement of Operations as “Investment Adviser Fees.”
     If at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to reduce fees and make expense reimbursements, the Board may permit the Adviser to retain the difference between the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and contractual expense limitations to recapture all or a portion of its prior expense reductions or reimbursements made during the preceding three year period during which this agreement was in place. As of December 31, 2010, there were no recaptures made.
     BNP Paribas Asset Management, Inc. (“BNP PAM”) serves as the investment sub-adviser for the Strategic Growth Fund, pursuant to a sub-adviser agreement. BNP PAM is entitled to receive from the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.37% of the average daily net assets of the Strategic Growth Fund.
     Fischer Francis Trees & Watts, Inc. (“FFTW”) serves as the investment sub-adviser for the Government Money Market Fund. FFTW is entitled to receive from the Adviser a fee,

Bishop Street Funds
computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.060% of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund up to $500 million and 0.020% of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund in excess of $500 million.
     Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”) serves as the investment sub-adviser for the Dividend Value Fund, (formerly Large Cap Core Equity Fund), pursuant to a sub-adviser agreement dated May 24, 2010. Columbia is entitled to receive from the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate based on the average daily net assets of the Dividend Value Fund, (formerly Large Cap Core Equity Fund), under the following fee schedule: 0.360% on the first $75 million; 0.350% on the next $75 million; 0.325% on the next $100 million; 0.300% on the next $250 million; and 0.250% on assets over $500 million.
     Union Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds. These fees are labeled on the Statement of Operations as “Custodian Fees.”
4. ADMINISTRATIVE, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
     Pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Agreement”), SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“GFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, acts as the Trust’s Administrator. Under the terms of the Agreement, GFS is entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Funds, and has voluntarily agreed to waive its administrative fee to 0.12% of each of the Funds’ average daily net assets excluding the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund which is waived to 0.07% of its average daily net assets. These fees and waivers are labeled as “Administrative Fees” on the Statement of Operations.
     DST Systems, Inc. (“DST”) acts as the Transfer Agent of the Trust. As such, DST provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing and shareholder services to the Trust. These fees are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer Agent Fees”.
     SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, acts as the Trust’s Distributor pursuant to the distribution agreement. The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of Class A Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan provides that Class A Shares will bear the cost of their distribution expenses. SIDCO, as compensation for its services under the Plan, receives a distribution fee, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to each Fund’s Class A Shares. This fee is disclosed as “Distribution Fees, Class A” in the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund on the Statement of Operations.
 
Bishop Street Funds 64  

 


 

     The Trust has adopted and entered into a shareholder service plan and agreement with SIDCO. Each Fund pays to SIDCO a shareholder servicing fee not to exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of all shares of each fund, which is computed daily and paid monthly. Under the shareholder service plan, SIDCO may perform, or may compensate other service providers for performing various shareholder and administrative services. SIDCO may also retain as profit any difference between the fee it receives and amount it pays to third parties. For the period, SIDCO paid the entire amount of fees received under the shareholder service plan to First Hawaiian Bank, the Parent Company of Bishop Street Capital Management, for shareholder services performed for the Funds. SIDCO has voluntarily agreed to waive 0.15% of its shareholder servicing fee to the extent necessary to keep operating expenses at or below certain percentages of the respective average daily net assets. Additionally, SIDCO has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its shareholder servicing fee in order to limit the one-day net income yield of the Government Money Market Fund to not less than 0.00% of the average daily net assets. These fees and waivers are represented as “Shareholder Servicing Fees” on the Statement of Operations.
     Once all of the Shareholder Servicing Fees have been waived, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to further waive and reduce their fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Government Money Market Fund in order to maintain a one-day net income yield (yield floor) of the Fund of not less than 0.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The following table shows waivers, with respect to such yield floor for the year ended December 31, 2010:
     
Investment   Shareholder
Advisory Fee   Servicing Fees
Waived/Reimbursed (000)   Waiver (000)
$427
  $137
5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
     Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.
     A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s Advisers and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services and expenses have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board. These fees are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Chief Compliance Officer Fees”.

6. SECURITIES LENDING
     The Fund may lend securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments. It’s the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. At December 31, 2010, four counter parties held 86.17% of the total securities on loan of the Dividend Value Fund, (formerly Large Cap Core Equity Fund), and four counterparties held 83.50% of the total securities on loan of the High Grade Income Fund. These securities are disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Collateral on Securities Loaned.” Income from securities lending can be found on the Statement of Operations.

8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
     The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with Federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
     As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for the reporting period may differ from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income/(loss), paid-in capital or accumulated net realized gain/(loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
     Accordingly, the following permanent differences, primarily attributable to paydown gains and losses, net operating losses, REIT adjustments, and distributions have been reclassified:
                         
            Undistributed   Accumulated
    Paid in   Net Investment   Net Realized

9. RISKS
     The Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund invests primarily in debt instruments in the state of Hawaii. The issuers’ ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in that state. In addition, each Fund’s investments in debt securities are subject to “credit risk,” which is the risk that an issuer will be unable, or will be perceived to be unable, to repay its obligations at maturity. Funds that invest primarily in high quality debt securities generally are subject to less credit risk than funds that invest in lower quality debt securities.
     Certain debt securities are backed by credit enhancements from various financial institutions and financial guarantee assurance agencies. These credit enhancements reinforce the credit quality of the individual securities; however, if any of the financial institutions or financial guarantee assurance agencies’ credit quality should deteriorate, it could cause the individual security’s credit quality to change. Additionally, if any of the Funds concentrate their credit enhancements in any one financial institution, the risk of credit quality deterioration increases.
     The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by the credit risk of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s) providing the credit support. In addition to credit risk, asset-backed securities and other securities with early redemption features are subject to pre-payment risk. During periods

Bishop Street Funds
of declining interest rates, prepayment of loans underlying asset-backed securities can be expected to accelerate or an issuer may retire an outstanding bond early to reduce interest costs. A Fund’s ability to maintain positions in such securities will be affected by reductions in the principal amount of such securities resulting from prepayments, and its ability to reinvest the returns of principal at comparable yields is subject to the general prevailing interest rates at that time.
     In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
10. LINE OF CREDIT
     The Funds entered into an agreement which enables them to participate in a $5 million unsecured committed revolving line of credit on a first come, first serve basis, with Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) which expires June 09, 2011. The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to finance the Funds short term general working capital requirements, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Interest is charged to the Funds based on their borrowings during the year at the Bank current reference rate minus 1%. As of December 31, 2010 the Funds had no borrowings outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Funds had borrowings costs of $2 for the Strategic Growth Fund, $1 for the Dividend Value Fund, (formerly Large Cap Core Equity Fund), less that $1 for the High Grade Income Fund and $1 for the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund. The Funds borrowings average 124 days, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.25%.
11. OTHER
     At December 31, 2010, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by shareholders for each Fund, which comprised an omnibus account that was held on behalf of several individual shareholders, was as follows:
                 
    Number of   % of Outstanding

12. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
     In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
     The Funds have evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Bishop Street Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strategic Growth Fund, Dividend Value Fund (formerly known as Large Cap Core Equity Fund), High Grade Income Fund, Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund, and Government Money Market Fund (constituting Bishop Street Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses    
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, distribution and service (12b-1), shareholder service fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a mutual fund’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the mutual fund’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
Note: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.
