The Munder Funds Letter to Shareholders
DEAR MUNDER FUNDS SHAREHOLDERS:
For the year ended June 30, 2009, the S&P 500® Index, a widely recognized proxy for the performance of the U.S. stock market, posted a dismal -26.21% return. The pattern of returns over the course of the year, however, gave investors reason for cautious optimism. After two negative calendar quarters and a -28.48% return for the first half of the Munder Funds’ fiscal year, the S&P 500® posted a positive return of 3.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This positive performance was the result of strength (+15.93%) during the April through June 2009 period. Another hopeful sign for investors came from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index, a widely used measure of stock market volatility, which fell from a record high of 89 in October 2008 to 26 by the end of June 2009.
International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia and the Far East) Index (net dividends), experienced a more difficult year ended June 30, 2009 than did the U.S. market. This was the result of a steeper decline during the last half of 2008, which could not be overcome by the rebound during the first half of 2009. The Index, which reflects the performance of developed equity markets outside the U.S. and Canada after the impact of foreign withholding taxes, posted a -31.35% return for the year ended June 30, 2009, with a -36.42% return for July through December 2008 and a 7.95% return for January through June 2009.
Our criteria for buying and selling equity securities do not change in uncertain times. Throughout the past year, we have remained committed to our fundamental approach to stock selection, always paying careful attention to investment fundamentals, such as financial strength, earnings prospects and valuation. We strongly believe that our investment strategies, which emphasize discipline and the management of risk, will help us navigate through these uncertain times and benefit those who have entrusted us with the management of their assets.
On the following pages, you will find information relating to your Munder Funds investment. If you have any questions, please call your financial advisor. You may also contact the Funds at 1-800-4MUNDER (468-6337) or through our website at www.munder.com. Thank you for your confidence in the Munder Funds. We value the opportunity to work with you toward meeting your investment goals.
Very Truly Yours,

Management’s Discussion of
Fund Performance
Fund Performance
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit www.munder.com.
The Fund concentrates its investments in health care-related securities, particularly within the pharmaceuticals industry, and is therefore subject to higher market risk and price volatility than funds with more broadly diversified investments. Investors should also note that the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, which involve additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political conditions, and differences in financial reporting standards.
Fund holdings are subject to change and percentages shown below are based on net assets as of June 30, 2009. The following pie chart illustrates the Fund’s investment allocation. A complete list of holdings as of June 30, 2009 is contained in the Portfolio of Investments included in this report. The most currently available data regarding portfolio holdings can be found on our website, www.munder.com. You may also obtain currently available portfolio holdings data by calling (800) 468-6337.
INVESTMENT ALLOCATION
The performance data contained in the following commentary is based on Class Y Shares of the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2009. Performance of the other classes of shares will differ. The returns for the Fund reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and are reported after the deduction of all expenses. These returns do not, however, reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or upon redemption of Fund shares.

Portfolio Manager: Michael Gura
Health care stocks held up better than the broad stock market during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This was due in large part to investors’ views that expenditures on health care are more “recession-proof” than expenditures in other stock market sectors. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund’s S&P North American Health Care Indextm benchmark posted a return of -10.68%, well ahead of the -26.21% return for the S&P 500® Index, a widely followed benchmark for the broader stock market. During this same one-year period, the Fund posted a -14.54% return, while the median return for the Fund’s Lipper universe of health/biotechnology funds was -12.77%.
The lagging performance of the Fund, relative to its S&P North American Health Care benchmark, was primarily due to the relative weakness of the Fund’s life sciences tools & services holdings. This weakness largely resulted from an overweight in Bruker, which was sold in December. Small overweights in ICON (0.6% of the Fund) and Thermo Fisher Scientific (1.0% of the Fund) also held back the performance of that segment of the Fund.
In the Fund’s pharmaceuticals segment, an underweight in Pfizer (5.2% of the Fund) and a slight overweight in Perrigo, which was sold in February, also had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance. In addition, overweights in Amedisys (1.5% of the Fund) in the Fund’s health care services segment, McKesson (0.9% of the Fund) in the health care distributors segment, and Celgene (2.0% of the Fund) in the biotechnology segment held back the Fund’s relative returns.
Partially countering these negative factors was the boost to the Fund’s relative performance from an overweight in Genentech in the Fund’s biotechnology segment. The Fund sold Genentech at the time of its acquisition by Roche in March. A positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance also came from overweights in Cerner (0.3% of the Fund) in the Fund’s health care technology segment, Express Scripts (2.6% of the Fund) in the health care services segment and Abbott Laboratories (6.4% of the Fund) in the pharmaceuticals segment.
Index and Lipper performance information was furnished by sources deemed reliable and is believed to be accurate, however, no warranty or representation is made as to the accuracy thereof and the information is subject to correction. The S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the large-capitalization sector of the U.S. stock market. The S&P North American Health Care Sector Indextm is a modified capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of selected U.S.-traded securities in the health care sector. You cannot invest directly in an index, securities in the Fund will not match those in the index, and performance of the Fund will differ. Although reinvestment of dividend and interest payments is assumed, no expenses are netted against an index’s returns.
The Lipper universe of health/biotechnology funds represents the universe of existing mutual funds that are categorized by Lipper, Inc. under the same investment objective as the Fund. You cannot invest directly in a Lipper universe.

Hypothetical and Total Returns
The following graph represents the performance of the Fund’s Class Y Shares, its least expensive class of shares, over the past ten years. Due to differing sales charges and expenses, performance of classes not shown in the graph will be lower. The tables following the line graph set forth the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment and performance information for each class of shares offered by the Fund. In addition, the information contained in the graph and tables does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Average annual total returns are historical in nature and measure net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments assuming reinvestment of dividends.

As identified in the current Fund prospectus, the gross expense ratios for Class Y, A, B, C, K and R Shares during the fiscal year ended 6/30/08 were 1.76%, 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 1.99% and 2.25%, respectively. Expenses for the fiscal year ended 6/30/09 are included in this Annual Report in the Financial Highlights. Munder Capital Management limited certain expenses of Class Y, A, B, C and K Shares of the Fund during the 1997-2002 calendar years. Munder Capital Management also made a voluntary capital contribution to the Fund during the 2005 calendar year. In addition, the Fund’s former Sub-Advisor made a capital contribution to the Fund during the 2004 calendar year. Total returns would have been lower if Munder Capital Management or the Sub-Advisor had not limited expenses or made capital contributions during those periods.

Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited)
Example
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, non-12b-1 service fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The section of the table below entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class of the Fund. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), and multiply the result by the number in the section entitled “Actual” under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” corresponding to the class you own. If your Class A, Class B, or Class C Shares account balance was below the applicable minimum, your expenses may also have included a $6 quarterly small account fee. If your account is an IRA, your expenses may also have included a $15 annual fee. In either case, the amount of any fee paid through your account would increase the estimate of expenses you paid during the period and decrease your ending account value.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The section of the table below entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of the Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any class of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or the expenses you paid for the period. However, you may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. As in the case of the actual expense example, if your account is subject to an additional small account fee or IRA fee, the amount of the fee paid through your account would increase the hypothetical expenses you would have paid during the period and decrease the hypothetical ending account value.

Table of Contents
Please note that the expenses shown in the table for the Fund and similar tables for other funds are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any applicable transactional costs, such as front-end sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If any applicable transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 |
1. | Organization |
As of June 30, 2009, the Munder Funds consisted of 17 portfolios, each of which is a series of Munder Series Trust (“MST”) or Munder Series Trust II (“MSTII”). Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Munder Healthcare Fund (the “Fund”), the only series of MSTII. Financial statements for the other Munder Funds are presented in separate reports.
MSTII is a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund is classified as a diversified management investment company under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s goal is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, each with a par value of $0.001.
The Fund has 6 classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Class R and Class Y Shares. Class A Shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). As of June 30, 2009, Class B Shares were closed to new investors, subject to certain limited exceptions. Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares on a date based on the initial purchase date of Class B Shares and the passage of a specified period of time since that date. Class K, Class R and Class Y Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors, as described in the Fund’s prospectus, without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets resulting from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
Security Valuation: Securities and other investments are generally valued using readily available market quotations, which may be obtained from various pricing sources approved by the Board of Trustees. Equity securities, including exchange-traded derivative securities such as options and futures contracts, if
19
Table of Contents
Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued) |
any, are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary market or exchange on which such securities are traded or the official close price of such exchange. Lacking any sales, equity securities other than depositary receipts may be valued at the mean of the bid and asked prices, and depositary receipts, if any, may be valued based on the underlying security’s value and relevant exchange rate. Equity securities that are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges, if any, also may be valued at the bid price or at the last quoted sale price for local shares of the security. Fixed income securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, if any, may be valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates current market value. In the event that a price for a security is not available through the means described above, the security may be valued using broker-dealer quotations, last reported market quotations, or at fair value by a pricing committee in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges also may be subject to fair valuation in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees should a significant event occur subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. Investments in open-end funds held by the Fund, if any, are valued at the net asset value of the underlying fund or, lacking a net asset value, at fair value by a pricing committee in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. Fair valuations involve a review of relevant factors, including without limitation, company-specific information, industry information, comparable publicly-traded securities information, movements in U.S. equity markets following the close of foreign markets, and/or country-specific information.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Munder Funds implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes and requires disclosure of a fair value hierarchy based on the various inputs used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities | |
• | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | |
• | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2009:
Investments in | ||||

The level of input used to value each security is identified in the Portfolio of Investments, which also includes a breakdown of the Fund’s investments by sector and sub-industry.
The following is a reconciliation of the assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value (Level 3) either at the beginning or end of the period:

* Level 3 valuation inputs were used to value certain securities held by the Fund at zero.
Loans of Portfolio Securities: The Fund may loan portfolio securities in an amount up to one-third of the value of its total assets to certain approved borrowers. Each loan is secured by cash or non-cash collateral, which is adjusted daily to have a market value at least equal to 100% of securities loaned (105% where the loaned securities are not denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars or not primarily traded on a U.S. exchange) at the close of business on the preceding business day. Cash collateral received by the Fund is invested in short-term instruments and is recorded in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Non-cash collateral is held on behalf of the Fund by the lending agent and is not recorded in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund may
21
Table of Contents
Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued) |
share with the borrower a portion of the income received on collateral for the loan, or will be paid a premium for the loan. The Fund also continues to receive the equivalent of the interest and dividends paid on the loaned securities. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. If the borrower defaults or bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the borrower of the security, realization of the value of the securities loaned may be delayed or limited. As of June 30, 2009, the Fund did not have any portfolio securities on loan.
Security Transactions, Net Investment Income and Gains and Losses: For purposes of financial statement presentation, security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis and includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities, if any, are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Expenses of the Munder Funds are allocated to the Fund using an appropriate pro-rata method. Allocated Munder Funds expenses, direct Fund-level expenses, class-level expenses (excluding distribution and shareholder servicing fees), income and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated to share classes based on relative average net assets. Distribution and shareholder servicing fees are charged directly to each class as incurred.
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees: During the period through October 30, 2008, a short-term trading fee of 2% was assessed on certain redemptions of Fund shares made within 30 days after purchase, as described in the Fund’s then-current prospectus. The fee, which was retained by the Fund, was accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. These fees (if any) are shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights as short-term trading fees.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually (if available) by the Fund. The Fund’s net realized capital gains (including net short-term capital gains), if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes: The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued)
Additionally, management has not identified any uncertain tax positions that would materially impact the financial statements. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as income tax expense in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund did not incur any such interest or penalties during the year ended June 30, 2009.
The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. federal or state tax authorities for tax years before 2006.
New Accounting Pronouncements: The Fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”), an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, effective January 1, 2009. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund did not engage in derivative transactions.
In May 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (“FAS 165”) was issued and is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FAS 165 provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the basis for that date. Management has reviewed subsequent events through August 20, 2009, the date for which these financial statements were issued, and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.
3. Investment Advisor, Administrator and Other Related Party Transactions
For its advisory services, Munder Capital Management (the “Advisor”) is entitled to receive from the Fund a fee, computed and payable daily at an annual rate of 1.00% of the first $100 million of its average daily net assets; 0.90% of the next $100 million; 0.85% of the next $50 million; and 0.75% of average daily net assets in excess of $250 million. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid an annual effective rate of 1.00% for advisory services.
The Advisor is also the administrator for the Munder Funds. In its capacity as administrator, the Advisor is entitled to receive from the Fund an asset-based fee plus a fixed annual financial reporting fee of $8,800. The asset-based
23

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued)
portion of the fee, which is based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, is computed daily and payable monthly at the following annual rates:
Fund Net Assets | Annual Fee | |||
First $100 million | 0.153% | |||
Next $150 million | 0.128% | |||
Next $250 million | 0.104% | |||
Next $500 million | 0.079% | |||
Thereafter | 0.055% |
For the year ended June 30, 2009, the Advisor earned $104,204 before payment of sub-administration fees and $65,393 after payment of sub-administration fees for its administrative services to the Fund. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund paid an annual effective rate of 0.1667% for administrative services.
During the period through April 22, 2009, the Fund’s cash balances were invested primarily in the Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), a series of MST. The income earned by the Fund from its investments in the Money Market Fund is included as dividends on securities of affiliated company in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Advisor earned advisory and administration fees on the investments made in the Money Market Fund in addition to the advisory and administration fees it earned from the Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2009, in connection with the Fund’s investments in the Money Market Fund, the Advisor earned $1,005 in advisory fees before waivers and expense reimbursements ($71 after waivers and expense reimbursements) and $436 in administration fees.
Each Trustee of MST and MSTII is paid quarterly an aggregate fee consisting of a $78,000 annual retainer ($114,000 for the Chairman) for services provided as a Trustee, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. For quarters ended prior to January 1, 2009, each Trustee of MST and MSTII was paid an aggregate fee consisting of a $96,000 annual retainer ($132,000 for the Chairman) for services provided as a Trustee, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. A Trustee who is Chairman of a Committee (Audit Committee, Board Process and Governance Committee, and/or Nominating Committee) also receives an annual retainer of $6,000 for such service. Trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of the fees earned under a deferred compensation plan. Under this plan, amounts deferred are valued as if they are invested in one or more mutual funds, which include the Munder Funds, selected by the Trustee. Amounts deferred are not, however, actually invested in shares of any funds, and the obligations of the Munder Funds to
24
Table of Contents
Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued)
make payments of deferred amounts are unsecured general obligations of the Munder Funds. During the year ended June 30, 2009, no officer, director or employee of the Advisor or any of its affiliates received any compensation from MST or MSTII.
4. | Distribution and Service Plan |
The Munder Funds have adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to all classes of shares, except Class Y Shares. The Plan, which was adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act except with respect to Class K Shares, provides for payments, based on a percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% as noted below. In each case, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets may be used to pay securities dealers and other financial institutions and organizations (collectively, the “Service Organizations”) for providing shareholder services. The remaining amounts, if any, may be used to pay for certain shareholder services and the distribution of Fund shares to investors, including payment of compensation to Service Organizations to obtain various distribution-related services for the Fund.
The maximum rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, payable under the Plan are as follows:
Class A | Class B | Class C | Class R | Class K | ||||||||||||||
Shares | Shares | Shares | Shares | Shares | ||||||||||||||
12b-1 Fees | 12b-1 Fees | 12b-1 Fees | 12b-1 Fees | Service Fees | ||||||||||||||
0.25% | 1.00% | 1.00% | 1.00% | 0.25% |
For Class R Shares, the 12b-1 fees have been limited to 0.50% pursuant to the Fund’s contract with its distributor.
5. | Securities Transactions |
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities other than short-term investments and U.S. government securities were $22,345,051 and $35,099,947, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2009.
At June 30, 2009, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities for which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $5,862,134, aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities for which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $7,492,476 and net depreciation for Federal income tax purposes was $1,630,342. At June 30, 2009, aggregate cost for Federal income tax purposes was $56,263,894.

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued)
6. | Affiliated Company Security |
The term “affiliated company” includes any company that is under common control with the Fund. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund held the following security, which could be deemed to be issued by an affiliated company:
Value at | Purchased | Sold | Value at | Dividend | Realized | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6/30/08 | Cost | Shares | Cost | Shares | 06/30/09 | Income | Gain/(Loss) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Institutional Money Market Fund | $ | 634,344 | $ | 13,919,403 | 13,919,403 | $ | 14,553,747 | 14,553,747 | $ | — | $ | 6,514 | $ | — |
7. | Investment Concentration |
The Fund primarily invests in equity securities of U.S. and, to a lesser extent, foreign companies providing health care, medical services and medical products worldwide. By concentrating its investments, the Fund is subject to higher market risk and price volatility than funds with more broadly diversified investments. The value of stocks of health care and health care-related companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, government regulations and cost containment measures. In addition, adverse economic, business or political developments affecting the health care sector could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. As of June 30, 2009, more than 25% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in issuers in the pharmaceuticals industry. When the Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, adverse market conditions within those industries may have a more significant impact on the Fund than they would on a fund that does not concentrate its investments.
8. | Revolving Line of Credit |
Effective December 10, 2008, the Munder Funds renewed a one-year revolving line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company in which the Fund, and other Munder Funds, participate. Borrowings under the line may not exceed the lesser of $75,000,000 or 25% of the Fund’s adjusted net assets, net of any assets pledged to or designated as collateral for the benefit of third parties. Interest is payable on outstanding borrowings at the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (b) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 0.50%. Additionally, the line of credit includes an annual commitment fee equal to 0.11% per annum through December 9, 2009 on the daily amount of the unused commitment. Prior to December 10, 2008, borrowings under the line were limited to the lesser of $75,000,000 or 15% of the Fund’s adjusted net assets, net of any assets pledged to or designated as collateral for the benefit of third parties. Interest was payable on outstanding borrowings at the federal
26

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued)
funds rate plus 0.50%, and the annual commitment fee was equal to 0.10% per annum on the daily amount of the unused commitment. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund did not utilize the revolving line of credit. For the year ended June 30, 2009, total commitment fees for the Fund were $867.
9. | Indemnification Obligations |
The Fund has a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with its service providers. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
10. | Income Tax Information |
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund as a whole. The Fund also may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
As determined on June 30, 2009, permanent differences resulting from net operating losses were reclassified at year end. The following reclassification had no effect on net income, net assets or net asset value per share:
Undistributed Net | ||||||
Investment Income | Paid-In Capital | |||||
$ | 414,747 | $ | (414,747 | ) |
At June 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Post October | Capital Loss | Unrealized | ||||||||||||
Loss | Carryover | Depreciation | Total | |||||||||||
$ | (3,694,958 | ) | $ | (127,906,648 | ) | $ | (1,630,342 | ) | $ | (133,231,948 | ) |
The differences between book and tax distributable earnings were primarily due to wash sales and deferred trustees’ fees.
As determined at June 30, 2009, the Fund had available for Federal income tax purposes, $127,906,648 of unused capital losses of which $693,235, $83,018,757, $43,677,203 and $517,453 expire in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2017, respectively. In addition, the losses expiring in 2010, may be further

limited as they were acquired in the reorganization with the Munder Bio(Tech)2 Fund that occurred on May 9, 2003.
The Fund has elected to defer net capital losses arising between November 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009 of $3,694,958.
11. | Tax Information (Unaudited) |
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund designated approximately $1,144,230 pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code as qualified dividend income eligible for reduced tax rates.
12. | Quarterly Portfolio Schedule (Unaudited) |

15. | Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) |
The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Fund under a Combined Investment Advisory Agreement dated December 29, 2006, as amended (“Advisory Agreement”). At an in-person meeting held on May 19, 2009, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund for an additional one-year period commencing on July 1, 2009. In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and received from the Advisor, the information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion, including the information described below. Both in meetings specifically dedicated to the Board’s consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and in other meetings held during the course of the year, the Board received materials relating to the services provided to the Munder Funds by the Advisor and other relevant factors. In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees conducted a review that was specifically focused upon the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, and relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings held throughout the year, of the Advisor, its services and the Munder Funds.
As discussed in greater detail below, the Board considered many factors in evaluating whether the Advisory Agreement and the fees provided therein with respect to the Fund should be continued for an additional one-year period. The Board was advised by legal counsel to the Munder Funds, and the “Non-Interested Trustees” also were advised by their independent legal counsel with respect to their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. (A Trustee is deemed to be a “Non-Interested Trustee” to the extent the Trustee is not an “interested person” of the Munder Funds, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.) The discussion below is not intended to be all-inclusive or intended to touch on every fact that the Board took into consideration regarding the renewal of the Advisory Agreement.
The Board reviewed a variety of factors and considered a significant amount of information. The determination to renew the Advisory Agreement was made on the basis of each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. Individual Trustees may have given different weights to certain factors and assigned various degrees of materiality to information received in connection with the approval process.

Among other factors, the Board requested, considered and evaluated information regarding:
(a) The nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement: With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the general experience, business, operations and financial condition of the Advisor. In connection with these considerations, the Board was presented with detailed information concerning the organizational structure of the Advisor, any recent changes within the Advisor’s organization and the impact of the recent market downturn on the Advisor’s assets under management and the financial condition of the Advisor; |
• | the qualifications of management of the Advisor and of persons providing portfolio management services to the Fund. In connection with these considerations, the Board was presented with detailed information concerning key portfolio management positions at the Advisor, personnel changes and changes in employee responsibilities within the Advisor in 2008 and 2009, the organizational structure and depth of the Advisor’s portfolio management team, and the structure of the Advisor’s compensation of key investment personnel; |

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued) |
Based on these and other factors, the Board concluded that the facts presented to and considered by the Board justified approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.
(b) The investment performance of the Fund and the Advisor: The Board considered the relative performance of the Fund against a variety of standards, including (1) the one-, three-, five- and ten-year and since inception total returns, on both a gross and net basis, of the Fund’s Class Y Shares as of December 31, 2008 compared to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index and the median performance of the Fund’s “peer group” as categorized by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”); (2) the Fund’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year Lipper “rankings” within the Fund’s peer group on a numeric, percentile and quartile ranking basis; (3) the three-, five- and ten-year and the overall “star” ratings of the Fund by Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”); (4) the total returns, on a net basis, of the Fund’s Class Y Shares for the quarter and one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the performance of a small group of funds deemed by the Advisor to be the most comparable to the Fund in terms of investment objectives and policies and asset size, among other factors; and (5) the Fund’s one-, three-, five- and ten-year total returns as compared to the performance of other funds in the same Morningstar category as the Fund.
In this regard, the Board considered that: (1) the Fund’s average annual total returns for Class Y Shares, on a gross basis, trailed the performance of its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, but exceeded the performance of the benchmark for the five- and ten-year and since inception periods, and (2) the Fund’s average annual total returns for Class Y Shares, on a net basis, exceeded the median performance of the Fund’s Lipper peer group for the one- and ten-year periods, but trailed the median performance of the Fund’s Lipper peer group for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered information provided by the Advisor regarding the impact of the recent market downturn on the performance of the Fund.
Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund should not preclude approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.
(c) The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund: The Board considered detailed information provided by the Advisor as to the costs and profitability of the Advisor in 2008, and projections by the Advisor as to the expected costs and profitability of the Advisor over the twelve months ending on December 31, 2009, with respect to all services provided by the Advisor to
31

Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued) |
the Fund, based on certain stated assumptions. Based on these facts, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the costs related to the services that the Advisor provides the Fund.
(d) The extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders: The Board considered the Advisor’s willingness in recent years, and on an ongoing basis, to review the advisory fees of all of the Munder Funds with respect to reasonableness and market rate comparability, and, where appropriate, to reduce its advisory fees (both directly and through the implementation of contractual breakpoints in certain of the Munder Funds’ advisory fees) in an overall effort to reduce the Funds’ total operating expenses. The Board also considered that the Advisor had implemented reductions in contractual advisory fees with respect to certain of the Munder Funds in 2008 and 2009. The Board considered the Advisor’s representation that it will continue to seek to share economies of scale with the Fund’s shareholders in the future. In addition, the Board considered the services provided by the Advisor in its role as administrator to the Munder Funds, including its significant efforts in 2008 and 2009 to renegotiate contracts with other service providers for the Funds in order to (i) enhance and/or clarify the services to be provided to the Munder Funds and (ii) reduce the total operating expense ratios of the Munder Funds. Based on these facts, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s efforts in this regard strongly supported approving continuance of the Advisory Agreement.
(e) A comparison of fee levels of the Fund with those of comparable funds: The Board considered the Fund’s advisory fees as they compared to those of other funds in the same Morningstar category as the Fund (and having average assets in a range comparable to the Fund’s average assets). The Board also considered the Fund’s total operating expense ratio (and certain components of the total operating expense ratio) in comparison to those of a small group of funds deemed by the Advisor to be the most comparable to the Fund in terms of its investment objectives, policies and asset size, among other factors, and in comparison to other funds in the same Morningstar category as the Fund. In addition, the Board received separate information prepared by Strategic Insight Mutual Fund Research and Consulting, LLC, a third-party mutual fund data provider, that compared the Fund’s advisory fees at varying asset levels to the fees charged to the Fund’s peers, and separate information from Bobroff Consulting Inc., which conducted a review of the Munder Funds’ fees for the Board in February 2009. Based on these facts, the Board concluded that the
32
Table of Contents
Munder Healthcare Fund
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2009 (continued)
current advisory fee and total expense ratio of the Fund should not preclude approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.
(f) Benefits derived or to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund: The Board considered the Advisor’s representation that, beyond the fees earned by the Advisor and its affiliates for providing services to the Fund, the Advisor may benefit from its relationship with the Fund in the sense that separately managed account clients may view the additional assets under management resulting from managing the Munder Funds as a positive attribute. In addition, the Board noted that the Advisor also may obtain increased reputational prestige from managing a nationally recognized mutual fund family that shares the Advisor’s name. The Board also considered the Advisor’s representation that, although money managers may benefit from the use of “soft dollars” obtained from broker-dealers through payment of commissions on trades in client accounts, the Advisor believes that soft dollars should be used for the benefit of clients to the maximum extent possible. Based on these facts, the Board concluded that these additional benefits should not preclude approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement.
Based upon its review and evaluation of the information requested and provided and the factors addressed above, among others, and following discussion and having reached certain conclusions as addressed above, the Board unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement for an additional annual period commencing on July 1, 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of Munder Healthcare Fund and
Board of Trustees of Munder Series Trust II:
Board of Trustees of Munder Series Trust II:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Munder Healthcare Fund (the only portfolio comprising Munder Series Trust II) (the “Fund”) as of June 30, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Munder Healthcare Fund of Munder Series Trust II at June 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party (the “Code of Ethics”). During the period covered by this report, no substantive amendments were made to the Code of Ethics. During the period covered by this report, the registrant did not grant any waivers, including any implicit waivers, from any provision of the Code of Ethics.
The Code of Ethics is attached hereto as Exhibit 12(a)(1).
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its audit committee. John Rakolta, Jr., David J. Brophy and Arthur T. Porter are each an “audit committee financial expert” and each is “independent” (as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR). Dr. Brophy qualifies as an audit committee financial expert based on his experience as a Professor of Finance at the University of Michigan Business School since 1966, service as a director and advisor to a number of financial services firms and past service as a director of several public companies.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
As of June 30, 2009, the registrant had one series, the Munder Healthcare Fund. Information provided in response to Item 4 includes amounts billed during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the registrant’s principal accountant, to the Munder Healthcare Fund.
(a) Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were $14,846 and $14,801, respectively.
(b) Audit Related Fees
The registrant was not billed any fees by E&Y for the last two fiscal years ended June 30 for the Funds for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and not otherwise included above.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, no fees for assurance and related services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were billed by E&Y to the registrant’s investment adviser or any other entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant.
Table of Contents
(c) Tax Fees
The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by E&Y for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning in the form of preparation of excise filings and income tax returns for the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were $6,380 and $5,504, respectively.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, no fees for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were billed by E&Y to the registrant’s investment adviser or any other entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant.
(d) All Other Fees
During the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, in addition to billing the registrant for the services described above in Items 4(a) through 4(c), E&Y billed the registrant $250 and $79, respectively for professional services associated with identifying any passive foreign investment companies that the registrant may hold in order to ensure their appropriate tax treatment.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, E&Y billed the registrant’s investment adviser $152,830 and $156,550 for professional services associated with the preparation of a SAS 70 report relating to the investment adviser’s controls in operations. No other fees required to be pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X were billed by E&Y to the registrant’s investment adviser during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, no fees for other services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were billed by E&Y to the registrant’s investment adviser or any other entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant.
(e) Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
(1) Pursuant to the registrant’s Audit Committee Charter (“Charter”), the Audit Committee is responsible for approving in advance the firm to be employed as the registrant’s independent auditor. In addition, the Charter provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for approving any and all proposals by the registrant, its investment adviser or their affiliated persons or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides services to the registrant to employ the independent auditor to render permissible non-audit services to such entity, provided those permissible non-audit services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the independent auditor’s independence. The Charter further permits the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services to the registrant, provided that any pre-approval determination of a delegate be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting. Since November 12, 2002, the Audit Committee has delegated such authority to its Chairman
(2) Zero percent (0%) of the services described in Items 4(b) through 4(d) above (including services requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X) were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Table of Contents
(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on E&Y’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 for the Fund were attributed to work performed by persons other than E&Y’s full-time, permanent employees.
(g) E&Y did not bill the registrant for any other non-audit services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 for the Fund other than as disclosed above.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to Munder Capital Management, the registrant’s investment adviser, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $362,252 and $396,180, respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Munder Capital Management that provide ongoing services to the registrant, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $0.
(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has determined that the non-audit services E&Y has rendered to Munder Capital Management and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Munder Capital Management that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee because they did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant were compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence.
