DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
We are pleased to present you with this annual report for the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds. The following investment review and annual report relates to the activities of the Funds for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
OVERVIEW
US equity markets delivered strong absolute returns as most of the major equity indices gained 8 to 15% during the last fiscal year. The surge in smaller cap stocks was particularly notable as the small cap Russell 2000 Index gained 14.58% and the Russell Midcap Index gained 13.66% versus the large cap Russell 1000 Index return of 9.08%. Value-oriented stocks outperformed growth by over 590 basis points in large cap stocks, but were not a significant factor in small cap stocks. The best performing sectors were energy, materials and industrials while healthcare, utilities and consumer discretionary were particularly weak. During the last fiscal year, the Fed increased interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. Against this backdrop, commodity producers such as oil and mining companies surged to new highs as the underlying commodity prices reached new highs. Fearing the adverse impact of higher interest rates, the market has shunned economically sensitive consumer stocks such as homebuilders and embraced the deeply cyclical commodity producers. Our disciplined focus on value has encouraged us to seek out undervalued, out-of-favor stocks like the homebuilders, while avoiding more momentum-oriented groups such as the commodity producers. This philosophy has enabled us to manage through market cycles and benefited our clients over the long-term.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY CORE VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, and Class C shares had annual total returns of 5.31%, 5.01%, and 4.24%, respectively, compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 8.63% and the style-specific Russell 1000 Value Index return of 12.10%. (Fund results shown do not reflect sales charges and would be lower if sales charges were included. More complete performance information can be found on page 6 of this report to shareholders.)
Nearly all relative underperformance was concentrated in the information technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors. Within the information technology sector, software developers Microsoft Corp. and CA Inc. were negative contributors. In the industrials sector, Cendant Corp. was particularly weak. In the consumer discretionary sector, homebuilders Centex Corp. and Pulte Homes Inc., retail giant Home Depot Inc. and advertising agency Interpublic Group of Cos. were sources of negative performance. Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp. was also a notable underperformer. Our underweight in energy also detracted from performance. Strong relative performance from aluminum producer Alcoa Inc., railroad operator CSX Corp., tobacco giant Altria Group Inc. and IT services provider Electronic Data Systems were leading contributors to performance.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, Class C, and Class R shares had annual total returns of 3.10%, 2.82%, 2.08%, and 2.59%, respectively, compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 8.63% and the style-specific Russell 1000 Value Index return of 12.10%. (Fund results shown do not reflect sales charges and would be lower if sales charges were included. More complete performance information can be found on page 7 of this report to shareholders.)
The majority of relative underperformance was concentrated in the information technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors. Within the information technology sector, software developers Microsoft Corp. and CA Inc. were negative contributors. In the industrials sector, Cendant Corp. was particularly weak. In consumer discretionary, homebuilder Lennar Corp., retail giant Home Depot Inc. and automotive supplier Delphi Corp. were sources of negative performance. Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp. was a notable underperformer. Our underweight in energy also detracted from performance. Strong relative performance from aluminum producer Alcoa Inc., supermarket operator Albertsons, tobacco giant Altria Group Inc. and IT services provider Electronic Data Systems were leading contributors to performance.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY MID-CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, Class C, and Class R shares had annual total returns of 8.53%, 8.27%, 7.46%, and 7.99%, respectively, compared to the Russell Midcap Index return of 13.66% and the Russell Midcap Value Index return of 14.26%. (Fund results shown do not reflect sales charges and would be lower if sales charges were included. More complete performance information can be found on page 8 of this report to shareholders.)
The majority of relative underperformance was concentrated in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors. Within the financials sector, land developer St. Joe Co. was particularly weak. In the consumer discretionary sector, homebuilders Centex Corp. and Pulte Homes Inc., automotive suppliers Lear Corp. and Delphi Corp. and publisher Valassis Communications Inc. were sources of negative performance. Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp. and software developer CA Inc. also were notable underperformers. Strong relative performance from railroad operator CSX Corp., industrial equipment manufacturer Flowserve Corp. and IT services provider Electronic Data Systems were leading contributors to performance.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, and Class C shares had annual total returns of 5.13%, 4.86%, and 4.07%, respectively, compared to the Russell 2000 Index return of 14.58% and the Russell 2000 Value Index return of 14.61%. (Fund results shown do not reflect sales charges and would be lower if sales charges were included. More complete performance information can be found on page 9 of this report to shareholders.)
Nearly all relative underperformance was concentrated in the consumer discretionary sector and, to a lesser degree, the financials and materials sectors. Within the consumer discretionary sector, homebuilder WCI Communities, automotive supplier Lear Corp., publisher Valassis Communications Inc. and apparel companies Warnaco Group Inc. and Eddie Bauer Holdings, Inc. were sources of negative performance. In the financials sector, mortgage REITs Aames Investment Corp., Fieldstone Investment Corp. and MortgageIT Holdings Inc., as well as land developer St. Joe Co., were weak. Within the materials sector, we were underweight in the strong performing metals and mining segment. Strong relative performance from industrial equipment manufacturer Flowserve Corp., coal producer Foundation Coal Holdings Inc., temporary staffing

company Spherion Corp. and oil refiner Giant Industries Inc. were leading contributors to performance.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY ALL CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, and Class C shares had annual total returns of –0.24%,–0.50%, and –1.25%, respectively, compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 8.63% and the Russell 3000 Value Index return of 12.32%. (Fund results shown do not reflect sales charges and would be lower if sales charges were included. More complete performance information can be found on page 10 of this report to shareholders.)
The majority of relative underperformance was concentrated in a small number of stocks including homebuilder WCI Communities, software developer CA Inc., hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp. and mortgage REITs Aames Investment Corp., Fieldstone Investment Corp. and MortgageIT Holdings Inc. Strong relative performance from insurer The Hanover Insurance Group Inc., oil refiner Tesoro Corp., software developer BMC Software Inc., industrial equipment manufacturer Flowserve Corp. and IT services provider Electronic Data Systems were leading contributors to performance.

Fund Performance Data
ABOUT FUND PERFORMANCE
The Large Cap Value Fund and Mid-Cap Value Fund have four classes of shares. The Core Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund have three classes of shares. Each share class has its own sales charge and expense structure, allowing you to invest in the way that best suits your needs. The Core Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund are closed to new investors, except as described in the prospectus.
Class I shares have no initial sales charge and bear no ongoing distribution and service fees under a 12b-1 plan. Class I shares are available only to eligible investors.
Class A shares incur a maximum initial sales charge of 5.25% and an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%.
Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%. In addition, Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within one year after purchase.
Class R shares have no initial sales charge or CDSC and are subject to an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. Class R shares are available only to certain retirement plans.
The performance shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment results and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, access our website at www.hwcm.com or by calling 1-866-HW-FUNDS.
Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Figures shown in the "Average Annual Total Return" tables assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend date. The Funds' investment advisor pays annual operating expenses of the Funds' Class I, Class A, Class C and Class R shares over certain levels. If the investment advisor did not pay such expenses, net returns would be lower. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends paid by each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of distribution and service fees, if any, applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders. Performance of all Funds except the Co re Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund includes that of predecessor funds.
FUND RISKS
Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The Small Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund invest in small- and medium-capitalization companies which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The All Cap Value Fund is a non-diversified fund which involves greater risk than investing in diversified funds, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and sector concentration. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales.
MARKET INDEXES
The following are definitions for indexes used in the performance summary tables on the following pages. These indexes are unmanaged and include the reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect the payment of transaction costs and advisory and other fees associated with an investment in the Funds. The securities that comprise these indexes may differ substantially from the securities in the Funds' portfolios. The Funds' value disciplines may prevent or restrict investment in major stocks in the benchmark indexes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Each index named is not the only index which may be used to characterize performance of a specific Fund and other indexes may portray different comparative performance.
S&P 500® Index, a capital weighted, unmanaged index, represents the aggregate market value of the common equity of 500 stocks primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Russell 1000® Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000® Index.
Russell 1000® Value Index, measures the performance of those Russell 1000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
Russell Midcap® Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000® Index.
Russell Midcap® Value Index, measures the performance of those Russell Midcap® companies with lower price-to-book values and lower forecasted growth values.
Russell 2000® Index, is a stock market index comprised of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index.
Russell 2000® Value Index, measures the performance of those Russell 2000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
Russell 3000® Index, an unmanaged index, is comprised of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
Russell 3000® Value Index, measures the performance of those Russell 3000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

Fund Expense Examples (Unaudited)
As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006 – June 30, 2006).
The table on the following page illustrates the Funds' costs in two ways:
Based on actual fund return. This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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), then multiply the result by the number in the section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Based on hypothetical 5% return. This section provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

NOTE 1.
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies. Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 23, 2001 and consists of five series of shares. The Hotchkis and Wiley Core Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Large Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Value Fund (collectively, the "H&W Funds") are diversified series and the Hotchkis and Wiley All Cap Value Fund (together with the H&W Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The Trust was organized to acquire the assets and liabilities of the Mercury HW Large Cap Value Fund, the Mercury HW Mid-Cap Value Fund and the Mercury HW Small Cap Va lue Fund (the "Mercury HW Funds"). On February 4, 2002, the Mercury HW Funds were reorganized into the Trust through a non-taxable exchange. These financial statements include operating results, changes in net assets and financial highlights of the Mercury HW Funds prior to the reorganization.
The Large Cap Value Fund and Mid-Cap Value Fund have four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R. The Core Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund have three classes of shares; Class A, Class C and Class I. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Class A, Class C and Class R shares bear certain expenses related to the distribution and servicing expenditures. The Core Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund are closed to new investors, except as described in the prospectus. Effective August 19, 2005, the Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund converted their Class B shares into their Class A shares. Cl ass B shares no longer exist.
The Funds' audited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation: Portfolio securities that are listed on a securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) or The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NSM") are valued at the last sale price (or official closing price) on that day as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (which is generally 4:00 p.m. New York time), or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such exchange or NSM. Unlisted equity securities that are not included in NSM are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked price in the over-the-counter market. Fixed-income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from broker/dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments which mature in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments quoted in foreign currenc y are valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the time of valuation. Securities and assets for which market value quotations are not available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees.
Federal Income Taxes: It is each Fund's policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
Income and Expense Allocation: Common expenses incurred by the Trust which are not allocable to a specific Fund are allocated among the Funds based upon relative net assets or evenly, depending on the nature of the expenditure. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current day's capital share activity of the respective class).
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid semi-annually for the Large Cap Value Fund and annually for the Core Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified within the capital accounts. Return of capital distributions received from REIT securities are recorded as an adjustment to the cost of the security and thus may impact unrealized gains or losses on the security.

NOTE 2.
Fees and Transactions with Affiliates. The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement for each of the Funds with Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the "Advisor"), with which certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are affiliated. The Advisor is a limited liability company, the primary members of which are HWCap Holdings, a limited liability company whose members are current and retired employees of the Advisor, and Stephens — H&W, LLC, a limited liability company whose primary member is SF Holdings, Corp., which is a diversified holding company. The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Funds' investments and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. The Advisor receives a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the an nual rates presented below as applied to each Fund's daily net assets.

Effective April 1, 2005, Quasar Distributors, LLC is the principal underwriter and distributor for the shares of the Funds ("Quasar" or the "Distributor"). The Distributor is affiliated with the Funds' Transfer Agent, Fund Accountant and Administrator, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC. Prior to April 1, 2005, the Funds' distributor was Stephens Inc. ("Stephens"). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan adopted by the Trust in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds pay the Distributor ongoing distribution and service fees. The fees are accrued daily at the annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the shares as follows:
| | Distribution and Service Fee | |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % | |
Class C | | | 1.00 | % | |
Class R | | | 0.50 | % | |
Pursuant to separate agreements with the Distributor, selected dealers and other financial intermediaries also provide distribution services to the Funds. The ongoing distribution and service fee compensates the Distributor and selected dealers for providing distribution-related and shareholder services to Class A, Class C and Class R shareholders.
Certain selected dealers and other financial intermediaries charge a fee for shareholder accounting services and administrative services that they provide to the Funds on behalf of certain shareholders; the portion of this fee paid by the Funds is included within transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.
As of April 1, 2005, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, is the administrator for each Fund. Prior to April 1, 2005, the Funds' administrator was Stephens.
As permitted by Rule 10f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted procedures which allow the Funds, under certain conditions described in the Rule, to acquire newly issued securities from a member of an underwriting group in which an affiliated underwriter participates.

NOTE 5.
Restatement. Returns of capital on distributions received from REIT securities held in the portfolios of the Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and All Cap Value Fund were incorrectly classified in prior years by recording them as income rather than as an adjustment to the cost of the security. This misclassification had no impact on amounts previously reported for net asset value, distributions paid, amounts of taxable income reported to shareholders, total return, portfolio turnover rate, security valuation, or net change in net assets from operations. These financial statements have been restated to correct the classification of the amounts reported for net investment income, net realized gain and change in unrealized appreciation on investments in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended June 30, 2005, and for the net inve stment income per share, net gains (losses) on securities (both realized and unrealized) per share, and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets for the years ended prior to June 30, 2006 in the Financial Highlights. Net investment income per share for all prior periods has been calculated based on average shares outstanding during each period to conform with the calculation method used for the year ended June 30, 2006.

NOTE 6.
Indemnifications. Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Hotchkis and Wiley Funds
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (hereafter referred to as "Funds") at June 30, 2006, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as the "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at June 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the financial statements for the Hotchkis and Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and All Cap Value Fund have been restated for the periods ended prior to 2006.

Board Considerations In Approving Continuation Of Investment Advisory Agreements
Background and Approval Process. Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management LLC (the "Advisor") serves as investment adviser to the Hotchkis and Wiley Large Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley All Cap Value Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley Core Value Fund, respectively (each a "Fund") pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") with the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (the "Trust") that were initially approved by the Board of Trustees at the inception of each Fund. The Advisory Agreements are for two-year terms and continue thereafter if approved annually by the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) (the " Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreements. The Advisory Agreements for each Fund were most recently considered by the Board at a meeting held on May 17, 2006.
As part of the annual contract review process, the Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials, including information relating to (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor, including compliance with legal requirements, (ii) short-term and long-term performance of each class of each Fund relative to appropriate peer groups selected by an independent third party, their Lipper fund category and market indices, (iii) the costs of the services provided and the Advisor's profitability with respect to the management of each Fund, (iv) the extent to which the Advisor has in the past or is likely in the future to experience economies of scale in connection with the investment advisory services it provides to each Fund, (v) the expense ratios of each class of each Fund as compared with the expense ratios of their peer group and their Lipper fund cat egory and (vi) any benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates from its relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees noted that the information provided by the Advisor was thorough and responsive to their request. The information provided in response to this specific request supplemented information received by the Board throughout the year, both in writing and in meetings, regarding the Funds, including Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition and regulatory compliance. The Independent Trustees also reviewed and discussed with independent legal counsel prior to the meeting a legal memorandum discussing, among other things, the duties of directors/trustees under the 1940 Act and relevant state law in reviewing and approving investment advisory contracts.
Two weeks prior to the Board meeting, the Independent Trustees held a conference call with their independent legal counsel to review the materials provided by the Advisor and an independent third party, and consequently supplemented their information request with additional questions for the Advisor. At the Board meeting, representatives of the Advisor made a presentation to the Trustees and responded to their questions. After the presentation and after reviewing the written materials provided by the Advisor and the independent third party, the Independent Trustees met privately with their independent legal counsel to consider the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered the factors set out in case law and identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission as most relevant in considering the renewal of investment advisory agreements. The Trustees considered these and other factors, as summarized in more deta il below, and concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and the continuance of each Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services: As part of the Board's decision-making process, the Trustees noted that the Advisor and its predecessors have managed the Funds and their predecessors since their inception, and the Trustees believe that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious investment adviser is in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered that shareholders invest in a Fund knowing that the Advisor manages the portfolio and knowing the advisory fee that is paid by the Fund. In this connection, the Trustees considered, in particular, whether each Fund is managed in accordance with its investment objective and policies as disclosed to shareholders. The Trustees concluded that each Fund is managed consistent with its investment objective and policies.
The Trustees reviewed information regarding various services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, including an organizational chart and background information on personnel performing such services. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund's performance and information regarding the Advisor's investment program, which is driven by team-oriented, in-depth, fundamental research. The Trustees considered the depth and quality of the Advisor's investment process and stock-picking expertise, the very low turnover rates of the Advisor's key personnel, the overall stability of the Advisor's organization, and the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management. The Trustees reviewed the Advisor's compliance program and commitment to a rigorous compliance effort and the resultant compliance by the Funds with legal requirements. The Trustees also considered the Advisor's ongoing improvements to its business, including the additio n of key personnel and continuing investments in technology, such as the purchase of a client service infrastructure system, the launch and expansion of a website and the acquisition of a phone system with call center capabilities for the Funds.
42
The Trustees also considered other non-advisory services provided to the Funds, such as the services of Advisor employees as officers and other personnel provided that are necessary for Fund operations. The Trustees particularly noted that the services of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer are provided to the Funds at no cost to the Funds, and that the Advisor had increased its compliance staff in response to a more challenging regulatory environment. The Trustees noted that the Advisor organizes Board meetings and the preparation of Board meeting materials, and oversees and manages the other Fund service providers. The Trustees further noted that in 2005, the Advisor had negotiated relationships with a new administrator that resulted in cost savings to the Funds.
Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement were of a high level and were very satisfactory.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor: The Trustees review data on the short-term and long-term performance of the Funds in connection with each quarterly Board meeting. For the May 17, 2006 contract review meeting, the Trustees also received —in mid-April — and reviewed a report prepared by the Trust's administrator based on information compiled from an independent provider of data to mutual fund boards (the "Report") that compared the performance of each class of each Fund to that of a small group of comparable funds that are similar in terms of investment classification, asset size, load type and primary distribution channel ("Peer Funds") , and to the most comparable Lipper index, for several time periods. This data was as of December 31, 2005, and performance information through March 2006 was provided as well.
The Board considered that: (i) each class of the Large Cap Value Fund for each period covered in the Report other than the one-year period had the highest annual returns of its Peer Group, and for the one-year period was above or near the median, and also significantly out-performed the Lipper Equity Income Fund index for each period other than the one-year period, for which the Fund's performance was near that of the index, (ii) each class of the Mid-Cap Value Fund had the highest annual returns of its Peer Group for each period covered in the Report and also significantly out-performed the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Fund index for each period covered in the Report, other than the one-year period, for which each class out-performed the index and out-performed the Peer Group median, (iii) each class of the Small Cap Value Fund had the highest annual returns of its Peer Group for each period covered in the Report other than the one-yea r period, for which each class out-performed the median, and also significantly out-performed the Lipper Small Cap Value Fund index for each period covered in the Report, (iv) each class of the All Cap Value Fund had the highest annualized returns of its Peer Group for the three-year period, had near median performance for the two-year period, and for the one-year period, under-performed the Peer Group, Class A and Class I shares equaled or exceeded the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Fund index for each period covered in the Report, and Class C shares slightly under-performed the index for the one- and two-year period, but significantly out-performed the index for the three-year period, and (v) each class of the Core Value Fund out-performed its Peer Group median and performed near that of the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Fund index for the one-year period (noting that the Fund's inception date was August 30, 2004). The Trustees also considered each Fund's short-term and long-term performance versus appropriate benchmark indices.
The Trustees concluded that the performance of the Funds was very good and consistent with each Fund's investment objective and investment style.
Fees, Expenses and Profitability: The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Advisor and data contained in the Report regarding the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios, including information regarding any expense caps for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the Report showing how the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios compared to those of their Peer Group as well as a competitive universe of funds. The Trustees also reviewed information provided by the Advisor on advisory fees charged by the Advisor for subadvisory services it provides to other mutual funds and advisory fees it charges to its separate account clients with investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. The Trustees considered a list of the many additional functions performed for the Funds that the Advisor does not perform for its separate account and su badvisory clients. The Trustees noted that the Advisor's standard fee schedules for its institutional clients have increased over time and currently are higher than the fees charged to the Small Cap Value Fund and the All Cap Value Fund. The Trustees also noted that, in addition to providing more services and having higher costs for the Funds, it is generally acknowledged that managing mutual funds subjects an investment adviser to more legal and regulatory risk than is the case with separate accounts.
With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratios (by class) for the Large Cap Value Fund, the Trustees noted that the Report showed them to be generally among the higher fees within its Peer Group and among equity income funds within the Lipper universe, but the Trustees noted that the Fund had very good one-year and excellent long-term performance. The Trustees also noted that the Lipper universe aggregated data all for share classes so that the Advisor believed it was not indicative of the reasonableness of the Funds' expense ratios. With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratios (by class) for the Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Trustees noted that the Report showed the advisory fee generally to be among the higher fees within the Fund's Peer Group and among mid-cap value funds
43
within the Lipper universe, while the expense ratios for each class were above the median of the Peer Group but in the first or second quartile for the Lipper universe, except for Class C shares, for which the expense ratio was in the third quartile of the Lipper universe; the Trustees noted that the Mid-Cap Value Fund had very good one-year and excellent long-term performance. With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratios (by class) for the Small Cap Value Fund, the Trustees noted that the Report showed them generally to be in the mid-range among both the Fund's Peer Group and among small cap value funds within the Lipper universe, and the Trustees also noted that the Fund had very good one-year and excellent long-term performance. With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratios (by class) for the All Cap Value Fund, the Trustees noted that the Report showed them generally to be near the median of the Fund's Peer Grou p and in the mid- to upper range among the multi-cap value funds within the Lipper universe, with the expense ratios of each class other than Class C in the second quartile of the Lipper universe, and the Trustees also noted that the Fund had acceptable one-year performance and excellent three-year performance. With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratios (by class) for the Core Value Fund, the Trustees noted that the Report showed them to be lower than the median of the Fund's Peer Group and generally in the mid- to upper range of the multi-cap value funds within the Lipper universe, taking the expense caps into consideration, and the Trustees also noted that the Fund had excellent one-year performance. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratios were fair and reasonable for each Fund.
The Trustees reviewed information concerning profitability to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements, including information regarding the methodology for allocating expenses. The Trustees reviewed data regarding the Advisor's variable expenses, fixed expenses, anticipated material variances expected in 2006 and impact of the expense caps (i.e., Fund costs absorbed by the Advisor that are above the expense caps agreed to by the Advisor, which currently are reached only by the Core Value Fund). The Trustees concluded that the Advisor's allocation methods appeared reasonable. The Trustees also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisers is generally not publicly available, and that profitability may be affected by numerous factors, so that the comparability of profitability among advisory firms is limited. The Trustees noted the importance of the Advisor's profitability — which is derived solely from investment management fees — in maintaining its entrepreneurial environment in a private, primarily employee-owned structure. They noted that the Advisor's compensation/profit structure facilitates retention of its management and investment professionals. They also noted that the Advisor has voluntarily limited growth of assets by closing the Funds to new investors and by not taking on new separate account clients in these strategies. The Trustees noted that these actions were financially disadvantageous to the Advisor, and illustrated a commitment to act in the best interests of Fund shareholders. The Trustees concluded that the level of profitability to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements appeared to be a fair entrepreneurial profit.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale: The Trustees noted that the Advisor had determined to close each Fund to new investors (with limited exceptions), as well as cease new institutional accounts in four of the five investment styles, to enable the Advisor to maintain investment flexibility, and that this decision limited the Advisor's revenue. The Trustees also considered information regarding the investment, compliance and client service personnel who have been hired and the systems upgrade. The Trustees noted increased costs planned by the Advisor in 2006 that will benefit Fund shareholders. They were advised that these represent the reinvestment of savings from economies of scale generated by the Advisor's operations.
The Trustees recognized the position taken by the Advisor that, to the extent economies of scale exist, current levels of advisory fees reflect these economies of scale in light of the limited profit potential due to maintaining limits on the Funds' size as well as the costs associated with the high quality, in-depth research that the Advisor provides. The Trustees also are cognizant of the Advisor's position that its advisory fees provide it with sufficient revenue to enable it to close the Funds when they reach an appropriate size.
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the Funds' shareholders share in reduced costs experienced by the Advisor through the additional services, investment in talented employees and capital improvements provided by the Advisor. The Trustees noted that while breakpoints to an advisory fee are one way for the benefits of economies of scale to be shared with investors, other methods of sharing might also be considered if the Funds continue to produce additional economies of scale. The Independent Trustees requested that the Advisor consider what additional actions it might recommend in the event the Funds further develop economies of scale.
Indirect Benefits to the Advisor from its Relationship to the Funds: The Trustees considered information regarding any indirect benefits to the Advisor that could be identified from its relationship to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees considered any benefits from soft dollar arrangements. The Trustees noted that, while the Advisor does not use the Funds' commissions to pay for third party research, the Advisor does receive proprietary research from brokers that execute Fund trades. The Trustees noted that the proprietary research received was "bundled" with the commission cost and that, while the Advisor's profitability might be somewhat lower were it to have to pay for this research with hard dollars, the bundled research services provide valuable information or service to the investment research process, which benefits the Funds (as well as t he Advisor's other clients). The Trustees also noted that the commissions paid by the Funds are generally quite low.
