TURNER FUNDS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 1
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
To our shareholders
As Charles Dickens might have put it if he were a Wall Street Journal reporter, it was the best of stock markets, it was the worst of stock markets.
The market in the 12-month period ended September 30, 2009, was both nastier than your average bear in the first six months and more robust than your average bull in the subsequent six months. In the first six months, the market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, plummeted 30.54%, a continuation of a bear market that produced a loss of more than 56% from peak to trough over 17 months. But in the final six months of the period, the market reversed direction dramatically, soaring 34.02% in registering an average daily gain of about 0.3% — a daily gain nearly three times higher than the previous record set in 1982. However, for the entire 12-month period, the downside trumped the upside, with the S&P 500 Index losing 6.91%.
In our last letter, in the 2009 Turner Funds Semiannual Report, we offered the view that the stock market could break into bullish territory once signs became more evident that the economy was improving. And that's exactly what happened.
Signs point to recovery
Although the end of a recession is apparent only in retrospect, it appears that the worst recession in modern times is history, thanks partly to massive economic-stimulus programs by governments around the world and the continuing economic vitality of emerging nations like China, India, and Brazil. Among the recent encouraging signs of an improving domestic economy: corporate earnings reports are relatively upbeat and, in our analysis, are likely to rise at double-digit rates in both 2010 and 2011; industrial production is climbing; banks are repaying the billions of dollars they borrowed from the federal government during the financial crisis; the housing market is stabilizing; and consumers are showing more willingness to spend on discretionary goods and services such as apparel, electronics, and restaurants. According to what we've read, most economists now forecast that the world economy will expand 3-5% next year.
As the economy began to revive in the second half of the period, investors' risk aversion inversely declined. Up until then, burnt-fingered investors hesitated to touch even the stocks of the best growth companies whose price/earnings ratios had shriveled to the single digits. But beginning in March, a new tolerance for risk emerged. For instance, in many cases, small stocks that had lost the most previously and had the weakest fundamentals soared like fireworks in the sky, appreciating more than 100%. And the realization sank in among investors that the price to be paid for remaining extremely risk averse was steep, that keeping assets parked in safe havens like money-market funds and Treasury securities would likely lead to returns of near-skeletal leanness. In March, the average interest rate for money-market accounts nationally was below 2% and the one-year Treasury note was yielding 0.54%, according to Bankrate.com. In cont rast, stocks stacked up relatively well just as a source of income, with S&P 500 Index shares in aggregate paying an annual dividend of more than 3%.
In that best-of-markets, worst-of-markets environment, the performance of our 13 stock funds followed a similar pattern, as mixed as a dry martini. In the first six months of the period, our funds recorded losses ranging from 25.83% to 37.66%. In the following six months, our funds rebounded vigorously, gaining from 26.67% to 50.36%. But for the most part, the gains weren't enough to offset the losses sustained in the first half. Altogether, for the entire 12-month period, 10 of our funds recorded negative returns. Even so, five of our funds — the Turner New Enterprise Fund, the Turner Small Cap Growth Fund, the newly launched Turner Spectrum Fund, the Turner International Core Growth Fund, and the Turner Quantitative Broad Market Equity Fund — beat at least one of their benchmarks for the period.
Heartened and chagrined
For our part, we are heartened that our funds did well in the second half . . . and chagrined that our funds' performance wasn't better for the entire 12-month period. And just as we didn't gloat in 2007 when most of our funds outperformed, we will refrain from making excuses when most of our funds underperformed in this most recent 12-month period. Instead, we shall simply try to tell in as straightforward a manner as possible how our funds performed and the reasons for that performance. Our commitment to you has always included candor in both good times and bad, so this letter, like previous ones, will seek to tell it the way it seems to us to be, for better or worse, for our growth, international, core, and value funds.
As we see it, here, briefly, is why our funds performed as they did:
Our growth and international funds have tended to do best in a flat or rising stock market. Since the market on balance was neither flat nor rising, most of our growth and international funds struggled unsuccessfully to deliver positive returns. But, as noted, they rebounded sharply as the market turned distinctly bullish. And if the market retains its bullish bias, we think our growth and international funds should continue to shine, and more of them may beat their benchmarks going forward.
Our two core funds emphasized stocks of companies with low betas, solid cash flows, and ample assets on their balance sheets. But the stocks that did best by far during the period tended to have high betas and weak balance

sheets. Many of the top-performing stocks in our core funds' small- and mid-cap universes were companies that had refinanced their debt, and the market, anticipating an improvement in their financial condition, rewarded them lavishly in the second half of the period. The investment process of our core funds generally didn't lead us to such companies, and as a result the Turner Midcap Equity Fund and the Turner Small Cap Equity Fund trailed their indexes.
Likewise, the performance of our two quantitative funds, the Turner Quantitative Broad Market Equity Fund and the Turner Quantitative Large Cap Value Fund, was impaired by the superior relative performance of stocks that our quant model classified as having poor fundamentals. To the extent that our quantitative model didn't take into account factors that had nothing to do with fundamentals — factors such as the biggest percentage decline in stock price over the previous year — the results of the funds suffered. Even so, the Turner Quantitative Broad Market Equity Fund's return, although negative, exceeded the benchmarks, due to good stock selection by our quantitative model in some major market sectors.

Saying the same things
Happily, the results of our funds over the long term — since their inception — are much better than they were over the past 12 months. Eight of our 12 funds that have been in existence for more than one year have beaten at least one of their benchmarks since inception. In communicating that record of long-term performance, we take comfort from this observation by the American physician and author Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. in 1891: "What if one does say the same things — of course, in a little different form each time — over and over? If he has anything to say worth saying, that is just what he ought to do."
We think we have something worth saying: the best measure of the merit of a mutual fund is how it has performed over the longest possible time span, so the majority of our funds have proven their merit, in our view. Cultivating a long-term time horizon is especially worthwhile when we've endured a 12-month period that has been as unfavorable for stocks as this 12-month period has been. (For that matter, we've suffered through a decade that threatens to be the worst ever for stocks; as of September 30, the S&P 500 Index is down an annualized
TURNER FUNDS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 3
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)
1.57% in the 2000s, a bigger loss than even in the 1930s, in the midst of the Great Depression.)
One reason why we think our funds have performed well over time is blatant self-interest: our own money is on the line. We encourage our portfolio managers to invest in the funds they run. If it's true that there are more important things in life than a little money, and one of them is a lot of money, then we think having our portfolio managers invest in their own funds is critical to ensuring that they will be focused on producing the best results possible. That way, their interests are most likely to be in synch with the interests of you, our shareholders.
Spectrum: our new fund
The newest fund in which some of our portfolio managers are putting their money is the Turner Spectrum Fund. The fund, introduced on May 7, seeks to capitalize on both rising and falling stock prices. We think it provides the diversification of a multi-manager fund — six long/short investments in all — and has relatively modest fees, without the extra layer of charges levied by many hedge funds.
We think a prime advantage of the Spectrum Fund is that it gives us the opportunity to add extra return from a broader spectrum of the market — hence the fund's name; we are free to choose from a range of stocks that we think have either good return potential (in our long positions) or poor return potential (in our short positions). As we see it, the Spectrum Fund is comparable to a golfer who benefits from having access to all 14 clubs in his bag, in contrast to a traditional mutual fund that holds only long positions, which is like a golfer who's limited to just six or seven clubs.
As for the market environment that the Spectrum Fund and our other funds will encounter, we think it's likely to be much better in the near term and over the next 10 years than it has been in the past 12 months and 10 years. In the near term, we think if employment improves, it should be reflected positively in the economy and earnings, helping to propel the market higher. We're optimistic about earnings partly because we think companies have considerable earnings leverage — more leverage than may be generally supposed. Companies have cut costs aggressively, so if revenue growth picks up in concert with an accelerating world economy, operati ng margins should also rise, in our estimation.
As earnings gradually improve, we think the rally in low-quality stocks that kicked off this new bull market should be superseded by an increasingly high correlation between good stock returns and companies reporting above-average rates of earnings growth. In short, we expect high quality and fundamentals to matter more and more, and we expect a classic stock picker's market. If we can in fact pick good stocks, which we regard as our forte, it could prove to be the best of markets for our funds going forward.
Thankfully, the worst of markets in this decade — which we've characterized as the Terrible 2000s — is coming to an end. Even though the Terrible 2000s have been dismal for stocks, they've failed to unravel our conviction that stocks remain the best wealth-building investment over time. If it's true that time is an investor's best friend, and if history is any criterion, we think patient, long-term investing is likely to be rewarded more fully in the next decade. And we look forward to reporting just how rewarding our funds prove to be for you (and for us).

Manager's discussion and analysis
In its first five months of operation, the Turner Spectrum Fund, Institutional Class (TSPEX) produced an 8.10% gain. The fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index's 17.59% advance and the Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Classification's 12.16% gain but beat the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which was up 5.05%.
The fund, which consists of six Turner long/short strategies that seek to capitalize on both rising and falling stock prices, produced its best relative returns in the financials, consumer-staples, and consumer-discretionary sectors. Information-technology stocks hurt performance the most. The fund was conservatively positioned, with a net long/short exposure of less than 40%. It held broadly diversified positions in large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks, most of them traded in the U.S. In general, the smaller stocks performed best.

Manager's discussion and analysis
The Turner Concentrated Growth Fund (TTOPX) contains a select few stocks that Turner thinks have the strongest expected earnings power and return potential. Many of the stocks that the fund owned in the 12-month period ended September 30 did prove to have favorable return potential in relative terms. Nevertheless, the fund lost 2.99%, underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 1.85% decline.
Information-technology, energy, and industrials stocks, a 55% weighting, contributed the most extra return to the fund. Semiconductor, data-networking, energy-services, and semiconductor-capital-equipment stocks produced the best relative results. Altogether, four of the fund's seven sector positions beat their corresponding index sectors. Health-care holdings, a 4% weighting, detracted the most from results, due to sizable losses in biotechnology and contract-research shares.

Manager's discussion and analysis
Underperformance in two major sectors contributed significantly to the underperformance of the Turner Core Growth Fund, Institutional Class (TTMEX) in the 12-month period ended September 30. Stocks in the financials and health-care sectors accounted for 27% of the fund's holdings, and their losses, especially in insurance, securities-exchange, biotechnology, medical-equipment, and contract-engineering shares, were significantly greater than those of the index sectors. That damped the overall return of the fund, which lost 3.97% and trailed the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 1.85% decline.
Four of the fund's 10 sector positions outperformed their corresponding index sectors. Contributing the most to results were energy and industrials shares, a 16% weighting; energy-services and semiconductor-capital-equipment holdings produced good relative returns.

In the 12-month period ended September 30, the Turner Emerging Growth Fund, Investor Class (TMCGX) lost 15.58%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index's 6.32% negative return. Subpar results in four major sectors — health care, information technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials, a 62% weighting — were the biggest drags on the fund's performance. Detractors here included biotechnology, medical-services, semiconductor, wireless-communications, automotive, gaming, and industrial-equipment stocks.
Four of the fund's 10 sector positions added value. Consumer-staples and materials stocks, which amounted to 8% of holdings, outperformed by the largest margin. Food-processing, beverage, and metals shares were relatively strong performers.

Manager's discussion and analysis
Strong gains in information-technology stocks weren't enough to offset losses in other sectors for the Turner Large Cap Growth Fund, Institutional Class (TSGEX) in the 12-month period ended September 30. As a result the fund lost 3.52%, underperforming the Russell Top 200 Growth Index's 2.33% loss.
Information technology beat its corresponding index sector, as did energy and industrials; together, they accounted for 45% of the fund's investments, with semiconductor, wireless-communications, data-networking, energy-services, and semiconductor-capital-equipment stocks enhancing results. Detracting most from performance were losses in the health-care, materials, and financials sectors, which represented 26% of the portfolio. Relatively poor performers in those sectors included biotechnology, contract-research, mining, insurance, and investment-management shares.

In the 12-month period ended September 30, the Turner Midcap Growth Fund, Investor Class (TMGFX) lost 0.57%, a result that slightly underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index's 0.40% drop.
The fund's performance was most impaired by unfavorable relative returns in the health-care, materials, and utilities sectors, a 20% weighting. The fund's biotechnology, medical-equipment, mining, and telecommunications stocks were key detractors. Three of the fund's 10 sector positions trumped their corresponding index sectors — consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and information technology, a 48% weighting. Contributing the greatest degree of outperformance were automotive, retailing, food, semiconductor, and wireless-communications stocks.

Manager's discussion and analysis
Good stock selection powered the Turner New Enterprise Fund (TBTBX) to a 6.25% gain in the 12-month period ended September 30. The fund's return exceeded that of the NASDAQ Composite Index, which rose 2.54%.
Stock selection was savvy, with six of the fund's seven sector positions outperforming their corresponding index sectors. Returns in three cyclical or defensive sectors — industrials, materials, and consumer staples, a 12% weighting — were responsible for much of the fund's performance premium. Semiconductor-capital-equipment, industrial-equipment, metals, mining, food, and beverage shares contributed the most. An 11% position in health-care stocks was the sole detractor, with biotechnology and contract-research shares recording poor relative returns.

Manager's discussion and analysis
The Turner Small Cap Growth Fund (TSCEX) produced favorable, substantial relative returns in five of the nine market sectors in which it was invested in the 12-month period ended September 30. That was more than enough to enable the fund to outpace its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The fund recorded a loss of 4.84%, compared with the Russell 2000 Growth Index's 6.32% decline.
The fund's best relative performers were energy, industrials, consumer-staples, consumer-discretionary, and materials stocks, a 28% weighting. Specifically, energy-services, industrial-equipment, beverage, consulting, education, retailing, and metals shares did best in those sectors. Health-care and information-technology stocks, a 47% weighting, were drags on performance; biotechnology, medical-equipment, semiconductor, and data-networking shares were among the laggards.

In the 12-month period ended September 30, the Turner Quantitative Broad Market Equity Fund, Institutional Class (TBMEX) lost 3.95%, a performance that outpaced the Russell 3000 Index's 6.42% negative return.
On balance, the fund's stock selection was effective, with good relative returns in most holdings, selected because they ranked highly in our proprietary quantitative model. Six of 10 sector positions outperformed, with particularly rewarding relative returns in two sectors: consumer discretionary and energy, a 23% weighting. Retailing, consulting, petroleum, and energy-services shares were among the best performers in those sectors. Impairing results the most were holdings in the health-care, industrials, and materials sectors, a 24% weighting. Pharmaceutical, medical-device, semiconductor-capital-equipment, heavy-equipment, and metals stocks were the biggest losers.

In the 12 months ended September 30, the Turner Quantitative Large Cap Value Fund, Institutional Class (TLVFX) lost 14.88%. The loss exceeded that of the Russell 1000 Value Index, which declined 10.62%.
The fund is invested in large-cap value stocks that rank highly in our proprietary quantitative model. The model proved only somewhat effective at picking outperforming stocks: four of the fund's 10 sector investments outperformed their corresponding index sectors. Positions in the consumer-staples and information-technology sectors, a 15% weighting, enhanced performance to the greatest degree; food-retailing, semiconductor, and telecommunications shares did best. Hurting results the most were major positions in financials, consumer-discretionary, and health-care stocks, which represented 43% of the portfolio; banking, insurance, retailing, pharmaceutical, and medical-equipment shares were significant detractors.

Generally good stock selection resulted in the Turner International Core Growth Fund, Institutional Class (TICGX) recording a 0.71% gain in the 12-month period ended September 30. That return was good enough to beat the MSCI World Growth ex-U.S. Index's 0.99% loss.
Six of 10 sector positions contributed to the fund's results. Information-technology, consumer-discretionary, and industrials holdings, a 27% weighting, added the most value; in those sectors, semiconductor, data-networking, retailing, automotive, and semiconductor-capital-equipment shares performed especially well. Health-care and materials positions, a 21% weighting, were the primary detractors from performance, with biotechnology, contract-research, and metals stocks providing weak relative returns.

The fund's performance was hurt most by losses in consumer-discretionary, health-care, and materials stocks, with a combined weighting of 28%. Consulting, automotive, consumer-electronics, diagnostic-testing, surgical-equipment, and engineering-services stocks lost the most.

The Turner Small Cap Equity Fund, Investor Class (TSEIX) returned a negative 14.78% in the 12-month period ended September 30. The fund's loss was larger than that of the benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which fell 9.55%.
The fund is invested in both growth and value stocks in the 10 market sectors; five of those sector positions beat their index counterparts, but they didn't represent enough of a portfolio weighting to prevent the fund from underperforming. Energy and financials shares, which amounted to a 25% position, produced the strongest relative returns. In those sectors, energy-services, energy exploration/production, real-estate, banking, and financial-data stocks delivered extra return. Health-care, consumer-discretionary, and information-technology shares, a 46% weighting, were the biggest drags on performance. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, e-commerce, gaming, retailing, airline, semiconductor, and digital-hardware stocks recorded subpar results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to financial statements
September 30, 2009
1. Organization:
Turner Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with thirteen active portfolios as of September 30, 2009. The financial statements included herein are those of the Turner Spectrum Fund (the "Spectrum Fund"), Turner Concentrated Growth Fund (the "Concentrated Growth Fund"), the Turner Core Growth Fund (the "Core Growth Fund"), the Turner Emerging Growth Fund (the "Emerging Growth Fund"), the Turner Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Large Cap Growth Fund"), the Turner Midcap Growth Fund (the "Midcap Growth Fund"), the Turner New Enterprise Fund (the "New Enterprise Fund"), Turner Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Small Cap Growth Fund"), the Turner Quantitative Broad Market Equity Fund (the "Quantitative Broad Market Equity Fund"), the Turner Quantitative Large Cap Value Fund (the "Quantitative Large Cap Value Fund"), t he Turner International Core Growth Fund (the "International Core Growth Fund"), the Turner Midcap Equity Fund (the "Midcap Equity Fund"), and the Turner Small Cap Equity Fund (the "Small Cap Equity Fund"), each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds." The Spectrum Fund commenced operations on May 7, 2009.
Each Fund is registered as a diversified portfolio of the Trust with the exception of the Large Cap Growth Fund and the Concentrated Growth Fund, each of which are non-diversified.
The Funds are registered to offer different classes of shares: Institutional Class Shares, Investor Class Shares, Retirement Class Shares, Class C Shares, or a combination of the four. 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 along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.
The Emerging Growth, Small Cap Growth and Small Cap Equity Funds were closed to new investors on March 7, 2000, July 31, 2004 and May 1, 2005, respectively. Effective March 1, 2008 and August 24, 2009, the Small Cap Equity Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund were reopened to new investors and existing shareholders, respectively.
2. Significant accounting policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Launches Accounting Standards Codification—The FASB has issued FASB Statement No. 168, The "FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM)" and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which has been codified into ASC Topic 105 ("ASC 105"). ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) ("Codification" or "ASC") as the single sour ce of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative.
Following the Codification, the FASB did not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it issued Accounting Standards Updates, which served to update the Codification, provided background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.
GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB's Codification project, but it changed the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes had a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Trust has implemented the Codification as of September 30, 2009.
Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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—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. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. 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,
74 TURNER FUNDS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT
third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Funds' Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") designated by the 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; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committ ee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security's last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Fund calculates net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a "Significant Event") has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Adviser of the Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates net asset value, it ma y request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, the Fund's Administrator monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time the Fund calculates net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the Administrator and approved by the Committee, the Administrator notifies the Adviser for any Fund holding the relevant securities that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the Adviser makes the determination whether a Committee meeting should be called based on the information provided.
The International Core Growth and Spectrum Funds use FT Interactive Data Corp. ("FT") as a third party fair valuation vendor. FT provides a fair value for foreign securities in the International Core Growth and Spectrum Funds based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security) applied by FT in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Committee. The Committee establishes a "confidence interval" which is used to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security is fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the International Core Growth and Spectrum Funds value their non-U.S. securities that ex ceed the applicable "confidence interval" based upon the fair values provided by FT. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by FT are not reliable, the Adviser contacts the Funds' Administrator and may request that a meeting of the Committee be held.
If a local market in which the Funds own securities is closed for one or more days or a portion of a day, the Funds shall value all securities held in that corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by FT using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market. The guidance established a three-tier heirarchy to maximize the use of the observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of the fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
TURNER FUNDS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 75
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value in accordance with the guidance, during the year ended September 30, 2009 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. For the year ended September 30, 2009, there have been no significant changes to the Funds' fair valuation methodologies. Fair value measurement classifications are summarized in each Fund's Schedule of investments, Schedule of securities sold short or Schedule of open options written.
Security transactions and related income—Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold during the respective holding period.
Securities sold short—As consistent with each Fund's investment objectives, the Funds may engage in short sales. Short sales are transactions under which a Fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of the replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to any dividends that accrue during the period of the loan. Dividends are shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a fee, which is shown as an expense for financial r eporting purposes. The proceeds of the short sale are retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the close of a short sale.
Until a Fund closes its short position or replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will: (a) maintain a segregated account containing cash or liquid securities at such a level that (i) the amount deposited in the account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will equal the current value of the security sold short; and (ii) the amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will not be less than the market value of the security at the time the security was sold short, or (b) otherwise cover the Fund's short positions.
Option transactions—The Fund may write covered call options as a means of increasing the yield on its portfolio and as a means of providing limited protection against decreases in its market value. The Fund may purchase put and call options to protect against a decline in the market value of the securities in its portfolio or to anticipate an increase in the market value of securities that the Fund may seek to purchase in the future. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for und ertaking the obligations under the option contract. The initial purchase (sale) of an option contract is an "opening transaction." In order to close out an option position, the Fund may enter into a "closing transaction," which is simply the sale (purchase) of an option contract on the same security with the same exercise price and expiration date as the option contract originally opened. If the Fund is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction with respect to an option it has written, it will not be able to sell the underlying security until the option expires or the Fund delivers the security upon exercise. When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Option contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on th e valuation date, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the security (or increases the proceeds on a sale of the security). Realized and unrealized gains and losses on written option transactions are shown on the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain on written option contracts and Net change in unrealized appreciation on written option contracts, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on purchased options of $(275,441) and $(14,954), respective ly are shown on the Statement of Operations as net
76 TURNER FUNDS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT
realized gain (loss) from securities sold and net change in unrealized appreciation on investments, respectively.
Foreign currency translation—The books and records of the International Core Growth Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The International Core Growth Fund does not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments in the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains o r losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the International Core Growth Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
Expenses—Expenses that are specifically attributed to one of the Funds are charged to that Fund. Certain other expenses of the Funds are prorated among the Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets. Other common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets.
Classes—Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of the relative daily net assets.
Dividends and distributions—The Funds declare and distribute net investment income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for all Funds are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
3. Transactions with affiliates:
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers or employees of Turner Investment Partners, Inc. ("Turner") or SEI Global Funds Services ("SEI"), the Trust's sub-administrator. With the exception of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustees of the Trust.
SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor") provides distribution services to the Funds under a Distribution Agreement.
4. Administration, shareholder servicing, distribution and transfer agent agreements:
Turner provides administrative services to the Funds under Administration Agreements with the Trust. For its services, Turner receives an annual fee of 0.15% of the aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust up to $2 billion and 0.12% of the aggregate average daily net assets of the Trust over $2 billion. Under a separate Sub-Administration Agreement between Turner and SEI, SEI provides sub-administrative services to the Trust. For the year ended September 30, 2009, SEI was paid $1,036,097 by Turner.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan for Retirement Class Shares and Class C Shares (the "Distribution Plan") under which firms, including the Distributor, that provide distribution services may receive compensation. Under the Distribution Plan, which was adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Distributor is entitled to receive aggregate fees for distribution services not exceeding seventy-five basis points (0.75%) of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Retirement Class or Class C Shares that are subject to the arrangement in return for providing a broad range of distribution services. Currently, the Retirement Class Shares of the Midcap Growth Fund pay the Distributor twenty-five basis points (0.25%) and the Class C Shares of the Spectrum Fund pay the Distributor seventy-five basis points (0.75%) in distribution fees.
The Funds have also adopted Shareholder Services Plans (the "Shareholder Services Plans"). Under the Shareholder Services Plans, service providers are entitled to receive aggregate fees for shareholder services not exceeding twenty-five basis points (0.25%) of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class and Retirement Class Shares that are subject to the arrangement in return for providing shareholder services. Currently, Investor Class Shares of each Fund and Retirement Class Shares of the Midcap Growth Fund pay 0.25% in shareholder servicing fees.
DST Systems, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.
The Funds may earn cash management credits which can be used to offset transfer agent expenses. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the following Funds earned cash management credits which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. These amounts are labeled as "Fees Paid Indirectly" on the Statements of Operations.

* Prior to February 1, 2008, the advisory fee for the Core Growth Fund was 0.75%.
For the remaining Funds, the Concentrated Growth Fund and the New Enterprise Fund, the advisory fee is comprised of a base fee and a performance adjustment that increases or decreases the total fee depending upon the performance of the Fund relative to the Fund's performance benchmark. The Fund's base fee (1.10% for both the Concentrated Growth Fund and the New Enterprise Fund) is accrued daily and paid monthly, based on the Fund's average net assets during the current month.
The performance adjustment is calculated and paid monthly by comparing the Fund's performance to that of the Fund's performance benchmark over the current month plus the previous 11 months (the "performance period"). The annual performance adjustment rate is multiplied by the average net assets of the Fund over the entire performance period, which is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount is then added to (in the case of overperformance) or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the Fund's base fee.
In cases where the advisory fee is comprised of a base fee and a performance adjustment, Turner has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and to reimburse expenses in order to keep such Fund's "other expenses" (excluding distribution fees) from exceeding a specified percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis. Accordingly, the base advisory fee, annual adjustment rate, over/under performance relative to the benchmark threshold, and other expense cap are as follows:
| | Base advisory fee | | Annual adjustment rate | | Benchmark threshold(1) | | Other expenses cap | |
Concentrated Growth Fund | | | 1.10 | % | | | +/-0.40% | | | | +/-2.50% | | | | 0.25 | % | |
New Enterprise Fund | | | 1.10 | | | | +/-0.40 | | | | +/-2.50 | | | | 0.25 | | |
(1) See the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for more information regarding the Funds' performance benchmark.
During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Funds' advisory fees, before waivers, were adjusted in accordance with the policy described above:
| | Base adviser fee | | Performance adjustment | | Net adviser fee before waivers | |
Concentrated Growth Fund | | $ | 350,889 | | | $ | (167,529 | ) | | $ | 183,359 | | |
New Enterprise Fund | | | 236,328 | | | | (157,271 | ) | | | 79,057 | | |

9. Federal tax policies and information:
Each of the Funds is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each of the Funds intends to continue to qualify as a separate "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. These differences are primarily due to wash sales, REIT adjustments and net operating losses. The character and timing of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains distributed during the fiscal year may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the following permanent differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 (000):
| | Undistributed net investment income | | Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | | Paid-in capital | |

Management has analyzed the Funds' tax position taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of September 30, 2009, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds' financial statements. The Funds' Federal and State income and Federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.
10. Concentrations/risks:
Certain Funds invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, the Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility on the Fund's net asset value and magnified effect on the total return.
The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
11. Loans of portfolio securities:
The Funds may lend securities in their portfolio pursuant to a securities lending agreement ("Lending Agreement") with Morgan Stanley. Unless otherwise agreed, security loans, made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least 100% of the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received is invested in the BlackRock TempCash Fund, Institutional Shares, a money market fund. All such investments are made at the risk of the Funds and, as such, the Funds are liable for investment losses. The Funds receive an annual fee for their participation in the Lending Agreement based on projected lending activity.
In the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, realization/ retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
12. Derivative contracts:
Written Options—A summary of option contracts written during the period May 7, 2009 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2009 for the Spectrum Fund is as follows:

TURNER FUNDS 2009 ANNUAL REPORT 85
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder services and other expenses. 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 a mutual fund's average net assets; this percentage is known as a 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 below and 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 provides information about hypothetical account values and expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio (column 3) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. This section 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 mutual funds.
Note: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund's actual return — the hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
The Board of Trustees of the Turner Funds has delegated responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The Board of Trustees of the Turner Funds has determined that the Board’s Audit Committee does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” as the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined that term. After carefully considering all of the factors involved in the definition of “audit committee financial expert,” the Board determined that none of the members of the audit committee possessed all five attributes in the definition, although some members of the Audit Committees possessed some of the attributes. The Board also determined that the Audit Committee members have general financial expertise, and given the size and types of the Turner Funds and in light of the nature of the accounting and valuation issues presented over the past several years, it did not appear that the Audit Committee members lacked any necessary skill to serve on the Audit Committee.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Fees billed by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) Related to the Trust
KPMG billed the Trust aggregate fees for services rendered to the Trust for the last two fiscal years as follows:
| | | | 2009 | | 2008 | |
| | | | All fees and services to the Trust that were pre-approved | | All fees and services to service affiliates that were pre- approved | | All other fees and services to service affiliates that did not require pre-approval | | All fees and services to the Trust that were pre-approved | | All fees and services to service affiliates that were pre- approved | | All other fees and services to service affiliates that did not require pre-approval | |
(a) | | Audit Fees (1) | | $ | 236,000 | | N/A | | N/A | | $ | 243,500 | | N/A | | N/A | |
(b) | | Audit-Related Fees | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | |
(c) | | Tax Fees (2) | | $ | 76,150 | | N/A | | N/A | | $ | 62,400 | | N/A | | N/A | |
(d) | | All Other Fees (3) | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | |
Notes:
(1) Audit fees include fees related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.
(2) Tax fees consist of tax compliance services for the Trust. These services primarily included review of federal income tax returns and excise tax returns, as well as services relating to excise tax distribution requirements.
(3) All Other Fees consist of fees for services provided in connection with an assessment of the advisor’s anti-money laundering program.
(e)(1) The audit committee does not have pre-approval policies and procedures. Instead, the audit committee approves on a case-by-case basis each audit or non-audit service before the accountant is engaged by the registrant.
(e)(2) Percentage of fees billed applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| | 2009 | | 2008 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
Tax Fees | | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
All Other Fees | | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by KPMG for the last two fiscal years were $76,150 and $62,400 for 2009 and 2008, respectively, as described above.
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
