TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 1
In the six-month period ended March 28, 2013, that's the subject of this report, some feared the world would end because of an ancient Mayan prediction. Indeed, there are plenty of fears in the world: trees (dendrophilia), money (chrometophobia), and even hearing good news (euphobia), to name a few. But if the stock market's performance of the past six months was any indication, investing in stocks seemed anything but fear-inducing.
In fact, fear was generally so absent from the stock market in the period that the CBOE Volatility Index, known as the "fear index," dropped to a multi-year low of 11.30 (on average, it's about 20). The lack of fear helped push the S&P 500 Index in March above its previous all-time high reached in October 2007.
Just two years ago, in the summer of 2011, global stock markets were generally in the grip of record high volatility. So where'd the terror go? For one thing, many global macroeconomic worries have dissipated, if not disappeared entirely. For example, tempered growth in China's pacesetting economy is the new norm, and the European Union's political and financial officials soothed fears by promising to do whatever it takes to prevent further fiscal problems on the Continent. And the United States avoided a much-dreaded and prognosticated double-dip recession. Even one of the biggest downers of the past few years, the housing market, has become a bright spot on the U.S. economic landscape.
In a market environment that's driven less by anxiety about macroeconomic events, the focus can begin, and has begun, to return to our favorite stock-investing criterion: fundamentals. Global correlation among stocks dropped to a seven-year low in early 2013, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which is good news — and not fear-inducing in the least — for stock pickers like us.
Pendulum swings positive
With less apprehension in the air, it seems even the most skeptical investors are embracing stocks. For instance, previously individual investors seemed to have a "wait-and-flee" mindset about stocks, pulling more than $263 billion out of stock mutual funds since the summer of 2011, according to the Investment Company Institute. But starting in the fourth quarter of 2012, their habits abruptly changed; stock funds were the beneficiaries of 19 straight weeks of inflows totaling nearly $100 billion, Bank of America Merrill Lynch reported. While the investment-flow scales are still uneven, you have to start somewhere, and we think this start bodes well for stocks.
Those inflows did come with a dose of restraint, however. ConvergEx Research likened investors' caution to finding a $100 bill on the sidewalk: it looks real, but you want to pick it up casually, just in case it's an embarrassing prank. Because the Federal Reserve has pledged to keep interest rates low for several more quarters, bonds are yielding less than the inflation rate (the yield of the 10-year Treasury note has been hovering
below 2%). In search of income outside of bonds, individual investors who returned to stocks chose to play it safe, investing in lower risk, slower growth, and higher yielding stocks. For instance, the Russell 3000 Value Index beat the Russell 3000 Growth Index by 5.70 percentage points during the period.
In our opinion, whatever type of stocks they like, investors who are in the market now may be rewarded for it. We think that after producing paltry returns in the 2000s, stocks are reverting to the mean, to better results. The historical average for large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, in the 87 years from 1926 to 2012 is an annualized 9.8% total return. If stock returns are a pendulum, they swung to extreme lows during what we call the Unlucky 13 Era from 2000-2012, when the S&P 500 Index produced a woeful annualized return of just 1.6%. But in a welcome reversal of that trend, the pendulum now appears to moving toward the positive: since January 2010, S&P 500 Index stocks have gained 10.7% annualized. And we think they may have more gains in store in this decade, as more investors return to the market, helping to push stock prices higher in a virtuous cycle.
Moving on up
Stocks certainly were rewarding in the most recent six-month period: they were the best-performing asset class globally in both quarters of the period (the first time that's happened since 2009, according to Bloomberg). In short, the S&P 500 Index moved relentlessly upward for most of the period. With the exception of a modest decline in October in advance of the U.S. presidential election and the so-called fiscal cliff of federal spending cuts and tax increases, the S&P 500 Index proceeded to record gains for five consecutive months and rose 10.19% overall.
But throughout the period stock investors waffled on where to place their money. In the first half of the period, more "risky" cyclical sectors, such as the consumer-discretionary and financial-services sectors, generally performed well. In the second half of the period, though, businesses, in the lead-up to the fiscal cliff, deferred spending, which seemed to hurt the technology sector especially. As a result the technology sector of the broad-based Russell 3000 Index fell about 5% in the first quarter, and more defensive sectors like health care, consumer staples, and utilities flourished.
Out of favor
As for our own growth funds, underperformance in a classic growth sector like technology, in which we invest heavily, hampered returns for the entire six-month period. But one sector alone can't fully explain our largely subpar results; our stock selection in some cases left something to be desired. And despite the positive course of the market, our growth-investing style wasn't rewarded amply. Reflecting investor caution, the type of stocks our growth style favors — stocks with good fundamentals, such as revenue and earnings growth —
2 TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT
generally underperformed stocks with less attractive fundamentals and higher dividend yields.
Our funds' ability to outperform has been most pronounced when the market favors stocks with high projected earnings-growth rates, above-average price/earnings ratios, and lower dividend yields — in other words, growth stocks. For better or worse, we weren't the only investment managers challenged recently: in the first quarter of 2013, only 27% of active large-cap managers beat their benchmark, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. And to the detriment of our long/short funds, the shares of U.S. companies that were most often sold short rose about 9% in the first quarter, Goldman Sachs noted.
Nonetheless, our family of stock funds generally performed well in absolute terms during the six-month period. Seven of our 10 funds produced positive returns, ranging from 2.17% to 12.80%. However, in relative terms, it was a different story: only the Turner Spectrum Fund and the Turner Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund managed to beat at least one of their benchmarks. As investors in our own funds, we share your disappointment over the funds that did underperform in an up market.

Smaller-cap funds do best
The highest returns were earned by our funds that invest in stocks with smaller market capitalizations, which often generate the most robust results in a rallying market: the Turner Emerging Growth Fund, the Turner Midcap Growth Fund, and the Turner Small Cap Growth Fund. The weakest absolute returns were, as expected, generated by our long/short funds; it's hard for the short positions of long/short funds to add value when most stocks are advancing, as was the case in the past six months.
However, since we think the true test of a mutual fund's mettle isn't its performance in a short period like six months or even a year, we find our funds' long-term performance more palatable. Since inception, five of our long-only U.S. and international/global funds have beaten at least one of their benchmarks. And since the objective of a long/short fund is less about beating a benchmark than about maintaining a positive return under most market conditions, we're pleased that three of our four long/short funds have produced positive returns since inception.
To us, investing in stocks is not unlike planting a pecan tree, which takes at least a decade to produce nuts. As Bank of America Merrill Lynch pointed out, the stock portfolios of diversified, long-term investors who resisted the impulse to sell during the financial crisis of 2008-2009 probably hit new highs last year — long before the S&P 500 reached a new record in March.
Riding the bull
As for the future, our outlook for the stock market in the near term remains bullish for these reasons, among others:
First, businesses continue to bring home the bacon. The New York Times reported that corporate profits have risen 20.1% annualized since the financial crisis. Some of those profits have been (and in our estimation, should
TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 3
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)
continue to be) returned to shareholders through stock buybacks and increased dividends — or used to finance mergers and acquisitions. In the first quarter U.S. companies were in fact busy buying each other, spending $219 billion in the process, according to Dealogic.
Second, we expect profits to continue growing: we anticipate that S&P 500 earnings may advance by about 8% in 2013. That's nothing to write home about, but 8% growth would exceed the 6.4% rate last year. And since our investment philosophy is based on the market reality that earnings drive stock prices over time (if not always in the short term), continued earnings growth should lead to continued rising stock prices, in our opinion.
Third, although past patterns are no guarantee of future patterns, stocks historically have tended to rise when the economy is either growing or about to grow in the near future. And while the U.S. economy could be described as moving at turtle speed, that speed nevertheless has been steady. The International Monetary Fund estimates that U.S. gross domestic product could grow by 2% this year. We see one catalyst for such growth in the recovering housing market, where prices, sales, and construction all continue to rise off their lows. And despite fiscal cliffs and payroll tax hikes, consumers have remained optimistic and continue to spend; we think consumer spending is being stimulated in part by another economic entity making slow and steady progress: the job market. The forecasting firm IHS Global Insight predicts that all but eight U.S. states will regain peak employment by the end of 2015.
Undoubtedly the market will be subject to some short-term wobbles, since corrections (drops of 10% or more) tend to occur about once a year. At the time of this writing, the S&P 500 Index hasn't suffered a correction in more than a year. Even so, we think this four-year-old bull has more life in it. And from a historical standpoint, a five-year bull run wouldn't at all be unheard of: seven bull markets since 1900 have lasted four years, and five of them have persisted for at least another year after that.
Fine-tuning our process
We can't compel the market to favor our growth-investing style, of course, but we can do something about improving our investment process, a practice that we consider never-ending. To that end, we're striving to hold fewer stocks in our funds. And those stocks that we do hold, we're seeking to hold longer. By holding fewer stocks, we believe we can maximize our funds' results over time. In our judgment, if we identify and hold only a select number of growth stocks, for which we have the highest conviction that their corporate issuers can sustain above-average earnings growth, we think our odds of delivering above-average results improve. In essence, we think this is a case where less (holdings) may be more (return).
In addition, we've also positioned our portfolios in a way we think will take best advantage of a continuing bull market. Our U.S. and international/global growth funds
emphasize three types of stocks: classic growth stocks in industries such as biotechnology and wireless communications that we think have strong fundamentals; stocks of companies gaining market share in their businesses; and growth-cyclical stocks in industries like retail that have tended to do well as the economic cycle progresses. The long positions of our long/short funds contain similar types of stocks, while the short positions consist of shares of companies that we believe have poor earnings potential.
In closing, we trust that you're able to look at stock investing in our mutual funds with little fear; in return, we'll maintain the courage to stick to our convictions — even when it doesn't seem that Mr. Market agrees completely with them at times. As we see it, daring to stick to our convictions ought to provide our best chance of enhancing your — and our own — wealth in a decade that could prove far more rewarding for stocks than the last one did.

Manager's discussion and analysis
Poor stock selection, particularly in short positions, hampered the Turner Market Neutral Fund, Investor Class Shares (TMNFX), which lost 7.31% in the six-month period ended March 28. The fund's return trailed that of the S&P 500 Index by 17.50 percentage points, the Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average by 8.94 percentage points, and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index by 7.40 percentage points. The Turner Market Neutral Fund seeks capital appreciation using a long/short strategy in attempting to capture alpha, reduce volatility, and preserve capital in declining markets.
The industrials and consumer-discretionary sectors added the most extra return. In those sectors, long and short positions in agricultural-machinery, manufacturing, home-building, automotive, gaming, hotel, retail, and cruise-line companies generated the best performance. The health-care, financials, and information-technology sectors were the biggest detractors from performance. In those sectors, long and short positions in medical-product, pharmacy, real-estate-investment-trust, investment-management, data-storage, Internet, and telecommunication equipment shares produced unsatisfactory results.

The Turner Market Neutral Fund is subject to the risks associated with selling securities short.

Manager's discussion and analysis
Rewarding long and short positions helped the Turner Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund, Investor Class Shares (TMSFX) produce a 2.17% gain for the six-month period ended March 28. While the fund outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index by 2.08 percentage points, it lagged the S&P 500 Healthcare Index by 13.73 percentage points and the Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Average by 2.79 percentage points. The Turner Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in stocks of companies in the health-care sector. The fund uses a long/short growth strategy in seeking to capture alpha, reduce volatility, and preserve capital in declining markets.
In the fund's long and short positions, stocks in the pharmaceutical, acute-care, and insurance industries provided the most extra return. Detracting significantly from performance were long and short positions in the stocks of biotechnology, medical-product, and hospital firms.

ADR — American Depositary Receipt
The Turner Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund is subject to the risks associated with selling securities short. A short sale involves a finite opportunity for appreciation, but a theoretically unlimited risk of loss. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with health care-related companies. Many health care-related companies are smaller and less seasoned than companies in other sectors. Health care-related companies may also be strongly affected by scientific or technological developments and their products may quickly become obsolete. The Fund is subject to risks due to its foreign investments.

Manager's discussion and analysis
The Turner Spectrum Fund, Institutional Class Shares (TSPEX) gained 2.20% in the six-month period ended March 28. The fund's return beat the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index by 2.11 percentage points, but trailed the S&P 500 Index by 7.99 percentage points and the Lipper Long/Short Equity Average by 2.76 percentage points. The Turner Spectrum Fund seeks capital appreciation by allocating its assets to seven long/short strategies, each managed by a separate Turner portfolio-management team.
Five of the nine sectors in which the fund was invested provided extra return: information technology, energy, consumer discretionary, telecommunications services, and industrials. In those sectors, long and short positions in computer, social-media, oil-and-gas, gaming, automotive, telecommunication services, water, manufacturing, and home-building shares performed best. The sector that detracted the most from results was financials, with shares of commercial banks, investment banks, credit-card providers, and commercial-services firms underperforming. The fund kept a conservative net exposure (long exposure minus short exposure) of 24%, primarily in U.S. stocks.

Manager's discussion and analysis
The Turner Titan Fund, Investor Class Shares (TTLFX) lost 1.60% in the six-month period ended March 28. The fund's return lagged the S&P 500 Index by 11.79 percentage points, the Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Average by 6.56 percentage points, and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index by 1.69 percentage points. The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks of companies with mainly large capitalizations in all market sectors; the fund uses long and short positions in seeking to capture alpha, reduce volatility, and preserve capital in declining markets.
Five of the sectors in which the fund was invested generated positive returns: consumer discretionary, industrials, telecommunication services, energy, and consumer staples. Consumer discretionary and industrials added the most to results; in those sectors, shares of gaming, retail, e-commerce, broadcasting, aerospace, electrical-components, and agricultural-machinery shares delivered the best results. The greatest detractor from performance was the health-care sector, with shares in pharmaceutical, medical-instruments, medical-product, and insurance companies producing subpar returns.

Manager's discussion and analysis
A slowdown in telecommunications spending hurt technology stocks, which impaired performance of the Turner All Cap Growth Fund (TBTBX). The fund lost 0.44% in the six-month period ended March 28. The fund's return lagged that of the Russell 3000 Growth Index by 9.18 percentage points and the Nasdaq Composite Index by 5.51 percentage points.
Two of the fund's eight sector positions outperformed their corresponding index sectors, with a 10% weighting in the financials sector contributing the most return. In that sector, diversified investment-services and investment-exchange shares performed well. The main detractors from performance were the information-technology and health-care sectors, a 60% weighting, with computer, Internet, semiconductor, data-storage, pharmaceutical, and surgical-system shares recording poor relative returns.

Manager's discussion and analysis
The Turner Large Growth Fund, Institutional Class Shares (TSGEX) gained 2.74% in the six-month period ended March 28. However, the fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, by 5.36 percentage points.
Five of the nine sectors the fund was invested in beat their corresponding index sectors. Financials and energy, a 12% weighting, provided the most extra return. In those sectors, real-estate, investment-banking, credit-card, and oil-and-gas-exploration shares boosted performance. Our large exposure to the information-technology sector, a 38% weighting, detracted significantly from performance. Shares of computer, data-storage, cloud-computing, semiconductor, and Internet-infrastructure companies produced unfavorable results in the sector.

In the six-month period ended March 28, the Turner Midcap Growth Fund, Investor Class Shares (TMGFX) advanced 8.21%, underperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index by 5.18 percentage points.
Three of the nine sectors the fund was invested in beat their corresponding benchmark sectors; a 16% position in financials and materials provided the greatest contribution to performance. Real-estate-services, investment-manager, insurance, specialty-contractor, specialty-chemical, and coating/chemical shares generated the best results. The major detractors from performance were the information-technology and consumer-discretionary sectors, which represented 50% of the portfolio. Subpar performers in those sectors included bandwidth-management, Internet-infrastructure, storage, Internet-traffic, software, apparel, sporting-goods, broadcast-services, and luxury-apparel shares.

Manager's discussion and analysis
Decent stock selection in several major market sectors helped the Turner Small Cap Growth Fund (TSCEX) gain 12.80% in the six-month period ended March 28. However, the fund lagged its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, by 0.92 percentage point.
Five of the fund's nine sector positions — health care, consumer discretionary, materials, telecommunication services, and industrials, a 60% weighting — beat their index counterparts. Health care contributed the most return, with shares of consulting, medical-instruments, and drug-distribution firms performing the best. But information-technology shares, a 23% weighting, proved the biggest drag on performance; bandwidth-management, data-storage, semiconductor, security, electronic-component, and fiber-optics stocks recorded subpar results.

Manager's discussion and analysis
An emphasis on U.S. stocks hurt the Turner Global Opportunities Fund, Institutional Class Shares (TGLBX), which gained 5.96% for the six-month period ended March 28. The fund lagged its benchmarks, the MSCI World Growth Index, by 3.63 percentage points, and the MSCI World Index, by 4.75 percentage points.
A larger weighting in foreign stocks would have benefited the fund's results. Three of the fund's seven sector positions outperformed their corresponding index sectors. The best-performing sectors were financials, consumer discretionary, and energy, which amounted to 43% of holdings. In those sectors, real-estate-services, bank, insurance, social-media, luxury-goods, gaming, e-commerce, and oil-and-gas exploration shares contributed the most extra return. Performance was hurt the most by the information-technology and health-care sectors, with a combined weighting of 45%; computer, data-storage, Internet, security, pharmaceutical, and surgical-systems stocks were the biggest laggards.

5 The MSCI World Growth Index measures the performance of growth stocks in developed countries throughout the world. The index includes reinvestment of dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes.
6 The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The MSCI World Index consists of the following 24 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The Turner Global Opportunities Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility. The Fund is subject to risks due to its foreign investments.

TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT 67
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Notes to financial statements
March 28, 2013
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. The funds included herein are the Turner Market Neutral Fund ("Market Neutral Fund"), Turner Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund ("Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund"), Turner Spectrum Fund ("Spectrum Fund"), Turner Titan Fund ("Titan Fund"), Turner All Cap Growth Fund ("All Cap Growth Fund"), Turner Emerging Growth Fund ("Emerging Growth Fund"), Turner Large Growth Fund ("Large Growth Fund"), Turner Midcap Growth Fund ("Midcap Growth Fund"), Turner Small Cap Growth Fund ("Small Cap Growth Fund") and Turner Global Opportunities Fund ("Global Opportunities Fund"), each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds."
Each Fund is registered as a diversified portfolio of the Trust with the exception of the Global Opportunities Fund, which is 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' prospectuses provide a description of each Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.
2. Significant accounting policies:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Use of estimates—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 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.
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 Trust has a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various "inputs" used to determine the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are 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).
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), including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), 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 long positions and the most recent quoted ask price for short positions. 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. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sales price or Nasdaq Official Closing Price, they are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain bid and ask prices from two broker-dealers who make a market in the security and determine the average of the two. In this situation, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 Committee will determine the value after taking
68 TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT
into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. Depending on the source or relative significance of the valuation inputs, these securities may be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 a 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 a Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. In addition, the Funds' Sub-administrator, as defined in Note 3, 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 a Fund calculates its net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels recommended by the Committee for approval by the Board ("trigger points"), the Sub-administrator will notify the Adviser, as defined in Note 3, that such limits have been exceeded. If such trigger points are exceeded, then the close prices for certain foreign markets are systematically adjusted by fair value factors calculated by an independent pricing service. The circumstances described above use significant observable inputs and therefore these valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by a third party fair valuation vendor are not reliable, or believes that a foreign security held by a Fund should be fair valued for any other reason, the Adviser shall contact the Sub-administrator and request that a meeting of the Committee be held. Depending on the source or relative significance of the valuation inputs, these securities may be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the six months ended March 28, 2013, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable events were used to determine fair value.

For the six months ended March 28, 2013, there have been no significant changes to the Funds' fair valuation methodologies. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy during the reporting period. For each Fund there were no transfers between the levels as of March 28, 2013 based on the input levels assigned at September 30, 2012.
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 lots sold.
Securities sold short—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 declared on open short positions are recorded on ex-date and 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 reporting 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 brokers 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 short positions. The Market Neutral Fund, Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund, Spectrum Fund and Titan Fund engaged in short sales during the six months ended March 28, 2013.
Option transactions—Consistent with each Fund's investment objectives, the Funds may write covered call options and sell put options as a means of increasing the yield on their portfolios and as a means of providing limited protection against decreases in their market value. The Funds may purchase put and call options to protect against a decline in the market value of the securities in their portfolios or to anticipate an increase in the market value of securities that the Funds 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 undertaking the
70 TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT
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 the 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). The primary risk exposure from written and purchased options contracts is equity exposure.
Purchased options held by the Funds are included in "Investment securities, at value" on the Statements of assets and liabilities. As of March 28, 2013, these amounts were $28 (000) for the Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund and $1,534 (000) for the Spectrum Fund. Written option contracts are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities under "Written options, at value" and were $71 (000) for the Spectrum Fund.
Any realized and unrealized gains and losses on purchased option contracts are included in "Net realized gain from securities sold" and "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments," respectively, on the Statements of operations. Realized and unrealized gains and (losses) on purchased options for the Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund for the six months ended March 28, 2013 were $(48) and $(6), respectively (000). Realized and unrealized gains and (losses) on purchased options for the Spectrum Fund for the six months ended March 28, 2013 were $(1,310) and $(261), respectively (000). Any
realized and unrealized gains and losses on written option contracts are shown on the Statements of operations under "Net realized gain on written options contracts" and "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written option contracts," respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and (losses) on written options for the Spectrum Fund for the six months ended March 28, 2013 were $46 and $(23), respectively (000). The Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund and Spectrum Fund engaged in limited purchased and written option activity during the six months ended March 28, 2013, representing less than 1% of each Fund's average monthly fair value amounts of purchased and written options as compared to net assets.
A summary of option contracts written during the six months ended March 28, 2013 for the Spectrum Fund is as follows:
| | Option contracts | | Option premiums (000) | |

Foreign currency translation—The books and records of the Market Neutral Fund, Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund, Spectrum Fund, Titan Fund and Global Opportunities 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 Market Neutral Fund, Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund, Spectrum Fund, Titan Fund and Global Opportunities Fund do 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 or 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 Market Neutral Fund, Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund, Spectrum Fund, Titan Fund and

Global Opportunities Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
Illiquid Securities—Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed of within seven business days at approximately the price at which they are being carried on a Fund's books. Illiquid securities include demand instruments with demand notice periods exceeding seven days, securities for which there is no active secondary market, and repurchase agreements with maturities of over seven days in length. The Funds may invest in securities that are neither listed on a stock exchange nor traded over the counter, including privately placed securities. Investing in such unlisted emerging country equity securities, including investments in new and early stage companies, may involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund, or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements which might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. If such securities are required to be registered under the securities laws of one or more jurisdictions before being resold, a Fund may be required to bear the expenses of registration.
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.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncement—In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2013-01") which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01 clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting
and related arrangements to enable users of that entity's financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The guidance in ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any impact ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 may have on the Trusts' financial statements.

For the All Cap Growth Fund, the advisory fee is comprised of a base fee and performance adjustment that increases or decreases the total fee depending upon the performance of the Fund relative to its performance benchmark. The Fund's base fee (1.10%) 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 its 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 advisory 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 its fees and to reimburse expenses in order to keep such Fund's "other expenses" (excluding distribution fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and interest expenses relating to short sales) 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 | |
All Cap Growth Fund | | | 1.10 | % | | | +/-0.40% | | | | +/-2.50% | | | | 0.25 | % | |

8. 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 GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. These differences are primarily due to wash sales, REIT adjustments, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, return of capital distributions, equalization and investments in partnerships and passive foreign investment companies. 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. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Withholding taxes on dividends and net realized capital gains as a result of certain investments in ADRs by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment's applicable country's tax rules and rates.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the years ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were as follows (000):
| | Ordinary income | | Long-term capital gain | | Total | |
Market Neutral Fund | | | |

Under current tax law, capital losses and specified ordinary losses realized after October 31st and non-specified ordinary losses incurred after December 31st (ordinary losses collectively known as "late year ordinary loss") may be deferred and treated as having arisen in the following fiscal year.
As of the end of their latest tax year end of September 30, 2012, the Funds in the following tables had capital loss carryforwards ("CLCFs"). CLCFs not subject to expiration must be used prior to using any CLCFs that are subject to expiration. A summary of these CLCFs is detailed in the tables below (000):
CLCFs not subject to expiration:
| | Short Term | | Long Term | |
Medical Sciences Long/Short Fund | | $ | 165 | | | $ | — | | |
Spectrum Fund | | | 197 | | | | — | | |
CLCFs subject to expiration:

Large Growth Fund | | | 7,956 | | | | 89,443 | | | | 97,399 | | |
As of March 7, 2011, the Large Growth Fund credited accumulated net realized loss $12,828 (000) and charged paid-in-capital $123,626 (000) and unrealized appreciation $31,165 (000) due to the Turner Large Cap Growth Fund ("Large Cap Growth Fund") merger with the Large Growth Fund. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the amount of annual CLCFs available for use. However, if the Large Growth Fund recognizes sufficient capital gains before the relevant expiration dates, Section 382 should not preclude the use of these CLCFs.
At March 28, 2013, the total cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the investments held by each Fund, excluding securities sold short and written options, were as follows (000):

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 28, 2013, 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 taxing authorities.
9. Loans of portfolio securities:
The Funds may lend securities in their portfolios 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 based on the previous day's market value of the securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls are adjusted the next business day. Cash collateral received is invested in the BlackRock Liquidity Funds TempCash, Dollar 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 the projected lending activity.
In the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, realization/retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
At March 28, 2013, the following Funds had securities on loan and the collateral held were as follows (000):
Fund | | Value of Securities on Loan (000) | | Value of Collateral (000) | |
All Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 1,434 | | | $ | 1,469 | | |
Emerging Growth Fund | | | 8,054 | | | | 8,181 | | |
Large Growth Fund | | | 8,264 | | | | 8,377 | | |
Midcap Growth Fund | | | 28,789 | | | | 29,341 | | |
Small Cap Growth Fund | | | 26,306 | | | | 26,960 | | |
10. Concentration/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, these 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 a 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. Fund merger:
On January 18, 2013, the Large Growth Fund acquired all of the net assets of the Turner Concentrated Growth Fund ("Concentrated Growth Fund"), an open-end investment company, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the Concentrated Growth Fund shareholders on January 9, 2013. The purpose of the transaction was to combine the two Funds managed by the Adviser with similar investment objectives and policies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,216,063 Investor Class shares of the Large Growth Fund, valued at $15,614 (000), for 2,025,116 Investor Class shares of the Concentrated Growth Fund outstanding on January 18, 2013. The exchange ratio (Large Growth Fund shares issued/Concentrated Growth Fund shares outstanding) was 0.60:1 for the Investor Class.
The investment portfolio of the Concentrated Growth Fund, with a fair value of $16,717 (000) and identified cost of $15,344 (000) at January 18, 2013, was the principal asset acquired by the Large Growth Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Large Growth Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Concentrated Growth Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Large Growth Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Upon the business combination of the Funds on January 18, 2013, the net assets of the Concentrated Growth Fund, which included portfolio capital of $35,249 (000), accumulated net investment loss of $87 (000), accumulated realized losses of $20,921 (000) and unrealized gains of $1,373 (000), combined with the Large Growth Fund were $225,958 (000). The undistributed net investment income and unrealized gains of the Concentrated Growth Fund may be distributed by the Large Growth Fund in future periods. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets (000) of the Concentrated Growth Fund and the Large Growth Fund were $15,614 and $210,344, respectively. All fees and expenses incurred by the Concentrated Growth Fund and the Large Growth Fund directly in connection with the Plan of Reorganization were borne by the Adviser.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2012, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Large Growth Fund, the Fund's pro forma results of operations for the six months ended March 28, 2013, are as follows (000):
Net investment income/(loss): | | $ | 846 | | |
Net realized/unrealized gains/(losses): | | | 4,589 | | |
Change in net assets resulting from operations: | | $ | 5,435 | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisi-
76 TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT
tion was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Concentrated Growth Fund that have been included in the Large Growth Fund's Statement of Operations since January 18, 2013.
12. Subsequent events:
The Trust has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
On May 17, 2013, the Board approved the liquidation of the Global Opportunities Fund to occur on or around July 31, 2013.
Based on this evaluation, other than the item noted above, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of March 28, 2013.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)
Board of Trustees considerations in approving the Advisory Agreement
On March 1, 2013, the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of the Turner Funds (the "Funds" or the "Trust") held a meeting to decide whether to renew the advisory agreement for each of the Turner Funds (the "Advisory Agreement") with Turner Investments, L.P. ("Turner" or the "Adviser") for the upcoming year. In preparation for the meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a wide variety of information from the Adviser. The materials described, among other things: the Adviser's business; the Adviser's organizational structure, personnel and operations; advisory services; the Funds' performance; compliance; advisory fees and expenses paid by the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012; and information on trading. At the meeting, representatives of the Adviser discussed, and answered Board members' questions about, among other things, a chart of advisory fees received by the Adviser for the various Funds; a schedule of the commissions paid to the Trust's top 10 brokers; a soft dollar commission usage report; the Adviser's Form ADVs; and a profitability report for the Adviser for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, including its net profitability before and after distribution expenses.
The Board, including all of the independent Trustees, considered, among other things: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (2) the performance of the Funds over the past one, three, five and ten years, where applicable, versus each Fund's respective Lipper peer universe; (3) the contractual and actual compensation to be paid under the agreements as compared to the compensation paid to relevant Lipper peer groups; (4) the expense ratios of the Funds, with expense waivers, as compared to expense ratios for relevant Lipper peer groups; (5) the qualifications of the Adviser's personnel, portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (6) the Adviser's operations, compliance program and policies; (7) the financial condition of the Adviser; (8) the cost of services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser's profitability from each
Fund for the year ended September 30, 2012; (9) "fall-out" benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds; (10) the extent to which economies of scale are relevant given the Funds' current asset size and current asset growth potential; and (11) a comparison of the fees charged by the Adviser with fees charged by the Adviser to similar clients, to the extent the Board deemed it relevant.
After deliberating on all the materials reviewed and reported, the independent Trustees reached the following conclusions, among others, regarding the Adviser and the advisory agreements. They determined that performance lagged peer groups in the case of a number of Funds. The Trustees committed to a continuing close review during the upcoming year of those products where performance lagged. Moreover, the Trustees noted the firm's success in launching a range of alternative investment products to serve shareholders to complement the firm's long-standing growth product line, and discussed and recognized the need for a different fee structure for these alternative products. The independent Trustees also concluded that the Funds' net total expense ratios and advisory fees were generally competitive. The independent Trustees also concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the existing Funds; the profits earned by the Adviser seemed reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each existing Fund; and that each Fund, and the Trust, was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale, beyond those already incorporated into the fee structures.
Based on the Board's deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Trustees, including all of the independent Trustees, unanimously (a) concluded to renew the Advisory Agreement for another year and (b) determined that the compensation payable by the Trust's Funds under the Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable.
78 TURNER FUNDS 2013 SEMIANNUAL REPORT
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these on-going 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 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 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 cost 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.
