DEAR FELLOW MUNDER FUND SHAREHOLDERS
The investment climate changed sharply over the past year. The S&P 500® Index posted a 19.11% return for the 12 months ended June 30, 2004, a significant increase from the return for the prior year ended June 30, 2003. In contrast, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index had a 0.32% return for the 12 months ended June 30, 2004, dramatically lower than the return for the year ended June 30, 2003. While the equity market was buoyed by an improving economy and strong earnings growth, fixed income performance was hurt by rising interest rates and anticipation of the beginning of a tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve. In fact, the Fed announced a widely anticipated 0.25 percentage point increase in the federal funds rate on June 30.
The goal of our investment disciplines is to deliver competitive returns and consistent investment success across changing investment environments. For this reason, risk management is an important part of our investment strategies. We identify those areas where we believe we can add the most value, and work to minimize risk in other areas. In our equity disciplines, we focus on stock selection and have systems in place designed to limit the risk from sector, industry and individual stock weightings. In our view, focusing on the risks involved in investing, as well as on returns, is the best way to create value for our shareholders over time. Framlington Overseas Investment Management Limited, the U.K.-based sub-advisor to the Fund and an affiliate of Munder Capital, adheres to a similar investment approach.
On the following pages, you will find information and commentary on the relative and absolute performance of the Munder Healthcare Fund. If you have any questions about your current investments or any of The Munder Funds, please call your financial advisor. You may also contact the Funds at 1-800-4MUNDER 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 objectives.
Very Truly Yours, | |

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 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 can invest all of its assets in foreign securities, and such investments involve additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political conditions, and differences in financial reporting standards.
The performance data contained in the following commentary is based on Class Y Shares of the Fund for the one-year period ended June 30, 2004. 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.
The Fund is sub-advised by Framlington Overseas Investment Management, Ltd., which is paid a fee for its services.
Fund holdings are subject to change and percentages shown are based on total net assets as of June 30, 2004. A complete list of holdings as of June 30, 2004 is contained in the Portfolio of Investments included in this report. Current data regarding portfolio holdings can be found on our website, www.munder.com. You may also obtain updated holdings by calling (800) 438-5789.
MUNDER HEALTHCARE FUND
Fund Managers: The Munder Healthcare Fund Team
The Fund generated a 31.77% return for the year ended June 30, 2004, compared to the 36.22% return for the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index, the 5.59% return for the S&P 500® Healthcare Index and the 15.05% median return for the Lipper universe of health/biotechnology mutual funds.
Although the Fund had a strong absolute return for the year and outperformed the median return of its Lipper universe, it lagged its Russell 2000 Healthcare benchmark. During the year, the health care stocks in the small-cap Russell 2000 Index significantly outpaced the health care stocks represented in the large-cap S&P 500® Healthcare Index. While the Fund has a small-cap bias, it invests across the entire capitalization spectrum of health care stocks. As a result, while the Fund’s average market cap ($8.2 billion) was well below that of the large-cap S&P 500® Healthcare Index ($28.1 billion), it exceeded the $0.54 billion market cap of the Russell 2000 Healthcare Index. The higher average market capitalization therefore held back returns relative to its Russell benchmark.

Table of Contents
A focus on biotechnology stocks, which hovered around 30% of the Fund throughout the year, also contributed to the relative weakness of the Fund during the year. While biotechnology stocks had strong absolute returns in the small-cap segment of the stock market, they tended to lag other sectors. In contrast, the health care services holdings (18% to 20% of the Fund throughout the year and 19.4% of the Fund as of June 30) and medical device holdings (around 25% of the Fund throughout the year and 26.2% of the Fund as of June 30) had stronger relative returns.
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 Russell 2000 Healthcare Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of healthcare sector companies in the bottom 2,000 companies (based on market capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index, an index representing approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market. The S&P 500® Healthcare Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of healthcare sector companies within the S&P 500® Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index that measures the performance of the large-cap sector of the U.S. stock market. 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 mutual funds represents the universe of existing mutual funds that are categorized by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. under the same investment objective as the Fund. You cannot invest directly in a Lipper universe.

Table of Contents
The following graph represents the performance of the Munder Healthcare Fund (the “Fund”) since the inception of its oldest class of shares, Class Y Shares. The table following the line graph sets forth performance information and the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment for each class of shares offered by the Fund. Differing sales charges and expenses of classes not shown in the line graph will have an effect on performance. In addition, the information contained in the graph and table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of any investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, upon redemption, may be worth more or less than original cost. 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.

1. Organization
As of June 30, 2004, the Munder Funds (sometimes referred to as the “Funds”) consisted of 31 portfolios, each of which is a series of Munder Series Trust (“MST”), The Munder Framlington Funds Trust (“MFFT”) or The Munder @Vantage Fund (“@Vantage”). Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Munder Healthcare Fund (the “Fund”), the only series of MFFT. MFFT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 30, 1996. 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 offers 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”). 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. As of June 30, 2004, the Class R Shares had not yet commenced operations. Financial statements for the other Munder Funds are presented in separate reports.
On May 9, 2003, the Fund acquired all of the assets of the Munder Bio(Tech)2 Fund, a series of The Munder Funds, Inc., and assumed all liabilities of the Munder Bio(Tech)2 Fund in a tax-free exchange of shares of the Fund and the subsequent liquidation of the Munder Bio(Tech)2 Fund. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of

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
20
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2004 (continued) |
significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
Security Valuation: The Board of Trustees has approved one or more pricing services to provide prices for valuing portfolio securities. Equity securities, including depositary receipts, are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary market or exchange where such securities are traded or the official close price of such exchange. Equity securities, other than depositary receipts, for which the last quoted sale price or official close price is not available are valued at the mean of the most recently quoted bid and asked prices. Depositary receipts for which the last quoted sale price is not available are valued based on the underlying security’s value and relevant exchange rate. Restricted securities, and securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available, are valued 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 may also be subject to fair valuation by such pricing committee should a significant event occur subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. Fair valuations involve a review of relevant factors, including without limitation, movements in U.S. equity markets following the close of foreign markets, country-specific information, company-specific information, industry information and/or comparable, publicly-traded securities information. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates current market value, unless the Board of Trustees determines that such valuation does not constitute fair value at that time.
Foreign Currency: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates generally determined as of the close of regular trading on the London Stock Exchange. Purchases and sales of investment securities and items of income and expense denominated in foreign currencies are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than investment securities are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of foreign currency-related transactions. Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency-related transactions include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment security, foreign currency and foreign interest and dividend income transactions.
21
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2004 (continued) |
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of securities. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date of securities denominated in foreign currencies is included in realized gains and losses from security transactions.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange and Spot Contracts: The Fund may engage in forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts in an effort to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The value of such contracts is based on exchange rates generally determined as of the close of regular trading on the London Stock Exchange. Forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts are marked to market daily. The change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from foreign currency-related transactions. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss from foreign currency-related transactions equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange and spot contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
Repurchase Agreements: Each repurchase agreement entered into by the Fund provides that the seller must transfer to the Fund initial collateral at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest, and transfer upon request additional collateral any time the value of the collateral falls below such level. Each repurchase agreement also provides that in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to accelerate the seller’s repurchase obligation and/or use the collateral to satisfy the seller’s repurchase obligation. However, there could be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of possible decline in the value of the collateral securities during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2004 (continued) |
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 is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities 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. General expenses of the Munder Funds are allocated to the Fund based upon the relevant driver of such expenses. General expenses, income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Fund are then prorated among the share classes based on the relative average net assets of each class.
Fees Waived by Transfer Agent: During the year ended June 30, 2004, the transfer agent had contractually agreed to waive a portion of the fee it charged the Fund. The amount of the waiver was equal to the servicing fee it collected from Fund shareholders with account balances below a specified minimum. For the year ending June 30, 2004, such waivers were $37,834 and are reflected as fees waived by transfer agent in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees: Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the Fund redeemed within sixty (60) days of purchase may be subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 2.0% of the proceeds of redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. These fees (if any) are shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets 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. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.

3. | Investment Advisor, Sub-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 daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate of 1.00% based on assets up to $250 million and 0.75% based on assets exceeding $250 million.
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 administration fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at the following annual rates subject to a Fund minimum fee of $74,000:
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% |
The administration fees paid to the Advisor by the Fund prior to June 1, 2004 were based on the aggregate average daily net assets of all of the portfolios of MFFT, @Vantage and MST with the exception of the Munder S&P® MidCap Index Equity Fund, Munder S&P® SmallCap Index Equity Fund, Munder Institutional Government Money Market Fund and Munder Institutional Money Market Fund portfolios of MST which were subject to a different fee schedule. For the period February 10, 2004 through May 31, 2004, the annual fee for the Fund was fixed at 0.1346%. Prior to February 10, 2004, the following fee schedule was in effect for the Fund:
Aggregate Net Assets | Annual Fee | |||
First $2.8 billion | 0.1477% | |||
Next $2.2 billion | 0.1377% | |||
Next $5.0 billion | 0.1357% | |||
Next $2.5 billion | 0.0867% | |||
Thereafter | 0.0767% |
For the year ended June 30, 2004, the Advisor earned $361,628 before payment of sub-administration fees and $151,527 after payment of sub-administration fees for its administrative services to the Fund. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Fund paid an effective rate of 0.1390% for administrative services.

Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2004 (continued) |
Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Advisor, Framlington Overseas Investment Management Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) provides sub-advisory services to the Fund and is responsible for its management, including all decisions regarding purchases and sales of portfolio securities. For its services with regard to the Fund, the Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor a monthly fee equal on an annual basis to 40% of the net advisory revenues earned by the Advisor with respect to the Fund. The Advisor indirectly owns a 49% interest in the Sub-Advisor.
Included in the Statement of Operations under the caption “Net realized gain/(loss) on investments” is a reimbursement from the Sub-Advisor of $373,612 for a realized loss of $368,948 incurred in connection with a transaction that was in violation of the Fund’s investment policies.
Comerica Inc. (“Comerica”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Comerica Bank, owns approximately 95% of the Advisor (86% on a fully diluted basis) as of June 30, 2004. Comerica Bank provides certain sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund. As compensation for the sub-transfer agency and related services provided to the Fund, Comerica Bank receives a fee of 0.01% of the average daily net assets of the Fund beneficially owned by Comerica Bank and its customers. Comerica Bank earned $586 for its sub-transfer agency and other related services provided to the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2004.
Each Trustee of MST and MFFT is paid an aggregate fee, consisting of a $68,000 annual retainer ($90,000 for the Chairman and nominee for Chairman) for services provided as a Board member, plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. Each Trustee of @Vantage is paid an annual retainer of $4,000 for services provided as a Board member plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. A Board member who is Chairman of a committee (Audit Committee, Board Process and Compliance Oversight Committee, and/or Nominating Committee) also receives an annual retainer of $3,000 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 of the Munder Funds selected by the Trustee. These amounts are not, however, actually invested in shares of the Munder Funds, and the obligations of MST, MFFT and @Vantage to make payments of deferred amounts are unsecured general obligations of the Munder Funds. No officer, director or employee of the Advisor, Sub-Advisor, Comerica or any of Comerica’s affiliates receives any compensation from MST, MFFT or @Vantage.

4. Distribution and Service Plan
The Fund has a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class K Shares, that was adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act except with respect to Class K Shares. Under the Plan, service fees are collected from the Fund primarily to pay securities dealers and other financial institutions and organizations (collectively, the “Service Organizations”) who provide shareholder services for the Fund. The Plan also permits payments with respect to Class B, Class C and Class R Shares to be made by the Fund to the Distributor or directly to other service providers in connection with the distribution of Fund shares to investors and provision of certain shareholder services (which include but are not limited to the payment of compensation, including 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 the Distributor. No payments are made under the Plan with regard to Class Y Shares.
Comerica Securities, Inc. (“Comerica Securities”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comerica Bank, and Comerica Bank are among the Service Organizations who may receive fees from the Fund under the Plan. For the year ended June 30 2004, the Fund paid $110 to Comerica Securities and $240 to Comerica Bank for shareholder services provided to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shareholders.
5. Securities Transactions
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities other than short-term investments and U.S. Government securities were $173,297,226 and $190,851,806 respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2004.
At June 30, 2004, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities for which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $66,635,902 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities for which there was an excess of tax cost over value was $28,506,802 and net appreciation for
26
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2004 (continued) |
Federal income tax purposes was $38,129,100. At June 30, 2004, aggregate cost for Federal income tax purposes was $243,384,948.
6. Industry Concentration
The Fund primarily invests in companies providing healthcare, medical services and medical products worldwide. The values of these companies are particularly vulnerable to rapidly changing technology, extensive government regulation and relatively high risks of obsolescence caused by scientific and technological advances.
7. Revolving Line of Credit
Effective December 17, 2003, 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 15% of the value of the total assets of the Fund. Interest is payable on outstanding borrowings at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. Additionally, the line of credit includes an annual commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum through December 15, 2004 on the daily amount of the unused commitment. During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Fund did not utilize the revolving line of credit. For the year ended June 30, 2004, total commitment fees for the Fund were $3,914.
8. 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.

Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements, June 30, 2004 (continued) |
9. Income Tax Information
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from 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, 2004, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting for foreign currency gains and losses and net operating losses were reclassified at year end. The following reclassifications had no effect on net income, net assets or net asset value per share:
Undistributed | Accumulated | |||||||||
Net Investment | Net Realized | Paid-In | ||||||||
Income/(loss) | Gain/(loss) | Capital | ||||||||
$ | 5,586,757 | $ | 72,728 | $ | (5,659,485 | ) |
At June 30, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Post October | Unrealized | |||||||||
Loss/Capital | Appreciation/ | |||||||||
Loss Carryover | (Depreciation) | Total | ||||||||
$ | (178,756,275) | $ | 38,129,604 | $ | (140,626,671 | ) |
The differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales and deferred trustees’ fees.
As determined at June 30, 2004, the Fund had available for Federal income tax purposes, $176,667,462 of unused capital losses of which $3,121,589, $129,868,670 and $43,677,203 expire in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. In addition, $2,475,702 of the losses expiring in 2010, may be further limited as these amounts were acquired in the reorganization with the Munder Bio(Tech)2 Fund that occurred on May 9, 2003.
Certain capital and net foreign currency losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. The Fund has elected to defer net capital and currency losses arising between November 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004 of $2,004,157 and $84,656, respectively.

To the Shareholders of Munder Healthcare Fund and
Board of Trustees of The Munder Framlington Funds Trust
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Munder Healthcare Fund (the only portfolio comprising The Munder Framlington Funds Trust) (the “Fund”) as of June 30, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Munder Healthcare Fund of The Munder Framlington Funds Trust at June 30, 2004, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, 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 11(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, Arthur T. Porter and Thomas Eckert 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.
The registrant has one series, the Munder Healthcare Fund. Prior to June 13, 2003, the registrant had two other series, the Munder Emerging Markets Fund and the Munder International Growth Fund.
Information provided in response to Item 4 includes amounts billed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), the registrant’s principal accountant, to the Munder Healthcare Fund.
On June 13, 2003, the Munder Emerging Markets Fund and Munder International Growth Fund were reorganized as series of Munder Series Trust. Amounts billed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 for services rendered by E&Y to the Munder Emerging Markets Fund and the Munder International Growth Fund are included in response to Item 4 on Form N-CSR for the period ending June 30, 2004 for Munder Series Trust (Investment Company Act File No: 811-21294).
(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, 2004 and June 30, 2003 were $17,250 and $16,150, 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, 2004 and 2003, 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, 2004 and June 30, 2003 were $5,350 and $5,100, respectively.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, 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
The aggregate fees billed by E&Y for professional services associated with identifying any passive foreign investment companies that the registrant may hold in order to ensure their appropriate tax treatment were $7,000 for each of the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, 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
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.
Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X, pre-approval is required for non-audit services 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 if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. As disclosed above in Items 4(b) through (d), there were no fees for such services during the applicable periods.
(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, 2004 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, 2004 and 2003 for the Funds other than as disclosed above.
Table of Contents
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, 2004 and 2003 were $211,473 and $249,184, 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, 2004 and 2003 were $56,349 and $41,000, respectively.
(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.

Hoglund, the registrant’s Vice President and Principal Financial Officer, reviewed the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) of under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Procedures”) and evaluated their effectiveness.
