DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The following investment review and annual report relates to the activities of the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.
OVERVIEW
Equity markets continued to recover from unprecedented valuation levels, which bottomed in early 2009. Despite its retreat in the past quarter, the S&P 500 Index returned +14.43% over the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. During this period, value outperformed growth and small cap outperformed large cap. Cyclical stocks, whose valuations had been disproportionately depressed, performed exceptionally well. The consumer discretionary, industrials, and materials sectors were top-performers while telecommunications, energy, and utilities lagged.
Several dynamics helped support the market's recovery. Persistent negative economic news subsided, calming skittish investors. As panic waned, investors refocused on long-term company fundamentals which revealed promising signs of recovery. Aggressive corporate retrenchment supported earnings and cash flows — both remained resilient despite revenue declines. This cost-cutting put considerable cash on balance sheets, much of which is anticipated to be returned to shareholders via dividends and/or share repurchases. Corporate America's retrenchment has also established tremendous operating leverage. This should result in disproportionately accretive earnings, even if there is only modest improvement in demand.
Over the most recent quarter, concerns surrounding global economic stability continued to unnerve investors. Worries over European sovereign debt, an apparent moderation of explosive Chinese economic growth, and the wide conjecture over domestic financial regulation kept investors guarded. These systemic uncertainties may prolong the recovery as consumers and businesses remain cautious. Meanwhile, even with the recent equity market recovery, the S&P 500 remains roughly 30% below its 2007 peak. Earnings multiples (i.e. P/E ratios) remain well below historical trends.
As a disciplined, research-driven value manager, we remain confident in current opportunities. Corporate earnings and the U.S. economy are recovering from one of the deepest recessions since the Great Depression, which should amplify the magnitude of the recovery — particularly given equities' embedded operating leverage. Also, the recovery of value stocks has tended to carry on for several successive years following sizable market dislocations. We believe these characteristics provide a persuasive case for value investor optimism going forward.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY DIVERSIFIED VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, and Class C shares had total returns for the 12-month period of 20.22%, 19.84%, and 19.17%, respectively, compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 14.43% and the Russell 1000 Value Index return of 16.92%. (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.)
Positive stock selection in seven of the ten GICS sectors drove outperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. The financials sector was the largest performance contributor, led by stock selection in insurance. A lack of exposure to the poor-performing capital markets companies (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc.) also helped relative to the index. An underweight in energy, the worst-performing sector over the course of the year, aided performance. Stock selection in the energy sector boosted returns due to the large weight in the top-performing large integrated oil company — ConocoPhillips. Stock selection in utilities hurt performance as Exelon and NextEra Energy (formerly FPL Group) underperformed. An overweight position and weak stock selection in consumer staples also hindered returns.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, Class C, and Class R shares had total returns for the 12-month period of 20.08%, 19.82%, 18.91%, and 19.55%, respectively, compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 14.43% and the Russell 1000 Value Index return of 16.92%. (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.)
Positive stock selection in financials, particularly insurance, was the largest contributor to outperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index over the past year — Genworth, XL Capital, and MetLife were large performance contributors within insurance. Positive stock selection in energy was the next best performance contributor due to the large weight in ConocoPhillips, which was the top-performer among the large integrated oil companies. Positive stock selection in telecommunications, industrials, materials, and healthcare also aided performance. The largest performance detractor for the year was stock selection in utilities as Exelon and NextEra Energy (formerly FPL Group) underperformed. Stock selection in consumer discretionary also detracted from performance with J.C. Penney the largest underperformer.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY MID-CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, Class C, and Class R shares had total returns for the 12-month period of 33.00%, 32.67%, 31.67%, and 32.36%, respectively, compared to the Russell Midcap Index return of 25.13% and the Russell Midcap Value Index return of 28.91%. (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.)
Positive stock selection in financials was the largest contributor to outperformance relative to the Russell Midcap Value Index over the past year. Stock selection in banks and insurance were both large contributors to performance. The largest individual contributors within financials were Fifth Third and Capital One Financial. Positive stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was the next best performance contributor with Valassis Communications (advertising), Limited Brands (apparel/retailer), and Jones Apparel (apparel/retailer) leading the way. The information technology sector was the largest performance detractor as CA and BMC Software lagged the benchmark. Stock selection in consumer staples and energy also detracted from performance.

HOTCHKIS AND WILEY SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, and Class R shares had total returns for the 12-month period of 49.02%, 48.70%, and 47.56%, respectively, compared to the Russell 2000 Index return of 21.48% and the Russell 2000 Value Index return of 25.07%. (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.)
Positive stock selection drove outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index for the year. Stock selection was positive in eight sectors, neutral in one sector, and negative in one sector. The consumer discretionary sector was the largest performance contributor as Valassis (advertising) and several retailers performed well. The financials sector was the next best performer as stock selection in banks and insurance aided performance for the year. The sole negative sector was utilities — two of the four portfolio holdings lagged the index's sector return.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND
The Fund's Class I, Class A, and Class R shares had total returns for the 12-month period of 38.72%, 38.43%, and 37.38%, respectively, compared to the Russell 3000 Index return of 15.72% and the Russell 3000 Value Index return of 17.57%. (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 11 of this report to shareholders.)
Positive stock selection drove outperformance relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index for the year. Stock selection was positive in eight of the ten GICS sectors. The consumer discretionary sector was the largest performance contributor, as Valassis (advertising) and several retailers performed well. The industrials sector was the next best performer, as professional services and machinery holdings aided performance. While positive in absolute terms, returns in the consumer staples sector lagged the benchmark during the year; this was the largest detractor from performance.
HOTCHKIS AND WILEY HIGH YIELD FUND
The Fund's Class I and Class A shares had total returns for the 12-month period of 25.45% and 24.76%, respectively, compared to the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index return of 21.65%. (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 12 of this report to shareholders.)
The high yield bond market rallied over the past year outperforming equities and investment grade bonds by considerable margins. High yield spreads tightened at a blistering pace from the record levels reached in early 2009. Low-rated credits, which had been excessively punished in the downswing, led the recovery. Unlike the equity market, the high yield market did not retreat over the past quarter; the high yield market's fundamentals have improved significantly from a year ago. Default rates have moved from record highs to well below historical averages. The ratio of issuers upgraded relative to issuers downgraded has improved to a near-record level. The new issue market has been sporadic but robust — most of the newly raised capital has been used for refinancing, which has improved balance sheets. Also strengthening balance sheets has been sizable corporate retrenchment that has allowed Corporate America to become flush with cash. While we do not expect the extraordinary market returns to persist, fundamental improvements and still-attractive spreads provide high yield investors with reason for optimism.
The portfolio's weight in CCC-rated credits averaged 8% over the course of the year, which helped relative to the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B (Constrained 2%) as these bonds tightened exceptionally. Positive credit selection across the quality spectrum also contributed to the portfolio's outperformance. The consumer cyclical sector was the portfolio's top-performer with clothing retailer Quiksilver and recreation retailer Brunswick performing well. The portfolio's insurance holdings returned +36% for the year, but this lagged the index's insurance holdings, which returned a spectacular +87% over the same period — this detracted from relative performance. Also, the portfolio averaged 2% in cash, which detracted about 70 basis points in relative return during the strong market.

Credit Quality weights by rating were derived from the highest bond rating as determined by S&P, Moody's or Fitch. Bond ratings are grades given to bonds that indicate their credit quality as determined by private independent rating services such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch. These firms evaluate a bond issuer's financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond's principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from 'AAA', which is the highest grade, to 'D', which is the lowest grade. In limited situations when none of the three rating agencies have issued a formal rating, the Advisor will determine an internal rating.
The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) was developed by and/or is the exclusive property of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor Financial Services LLC ("S&P"), an independent international financial data and investment services company. GICS is a service mark of MSCI and S&P and has been licensed for use by Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC. The GICS methodology is used by the MSCI indexes, which include domestic and international stocks, as well as by a large portion of the professional investment management community.

Fund Performance Data
ABOUT FUND PERFORMANCE
The Large Cap Value Fund and Mid-Cap Value Fund have four classes of shares. The Diversified Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield 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. Currently, the High Yield Fund is not offering Class C shares to investors.
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% for the Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunities Fund and 3.75% for the High Yield Fund 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 C shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase and will then be subject to lower distribution and service fees.
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 offered only by the Large Cap Value Fund and Mid-Cap Value Fund and are available only to certain retirement plans.
FUND RISKS
Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The Small Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunities Fund invest in small- and medium-capitalization companies which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Value Opportunities 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. The Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund invest in debt securities that decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the High Yield Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The High Yield Fund may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks. Depending upon the characteristics of particular derivatives, they can suddenly become illiquid. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
MARKET INDEXES
The following are definitions for indexes used in the shareholder letter and 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 investments 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 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.
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 ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
Russell 2000® Index, an unmanaged 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.
The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index contains all securities in the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index rated BB+ through B- by S&P (or equivalent as rated by Moody's or Fitch), but caps issuer exposure at 2%. Index constituents are capitalization-weighted, based on their current amount outstanding, provided the total allocation to an individual issuer does not exceed 2%.

Notes to the Financial Statements
JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE 1.
Organization. Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 23, 2001 and consists of six series of shares. The Hotchkis and Wiley Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Large Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Value Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley High Yield Fund (collectively, the "H&W Funds") are diversified series and the Hotchkis and Wiley Value Opportunities 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 Value Fund (the "Mercury HW Funds"). On February 4, 2002, the Mercury HW Funds were reorganized into the Trust through a non-taxable exchange. On August 28, 2009, the Hotchkis and Wiley Core Value Fund was renamed the Hotchkis and Wiley Diversified Value Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley All Cap Value Fund was renamed the Hotchkis and Wiley Value Opportunities Fund.
The Large Cap Value Fund and Mid-Cap Value Fund have four classes of shares: Class I, Class A, Class C and Class R. The Diversified Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund have three classes of shares: Class I, Class A and Class C. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class C shares are automatically converted to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase and will then be subject to lower distribution and service fees. 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. Currently, the High Yield Fund is not offering Class C shares to investors.
Significant Accounting Policies. 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. In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities that are listed on a securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) or The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NSM") (including the Nasdaq National Market and the Nasdaq Small Cap Market) are valued at the last reported 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. Eastern 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 last sale price or, if the last sale price is unavailable, at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. Fixed-income securities are generally valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on the basis of information from an independent pricing service but may also be valued based on a broker-dealer quotation. The pricing agent may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing models. Short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments quoted in foreign currency 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.
The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad categories:
• Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Trust has access at the date of measurement.
• Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.
• Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Trust's own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The Trust did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on June 30, 2010.
In January 2010, new accounting guidance was issued that requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements in the financial statements effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Management expects that adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Funds' net assets or results of operations.
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 and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the High Yield Fund, declared and paid semi-annually for the Large Cap Value Fund and declared and paid annually for the Diversified Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunities 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 specifically identified cost basis of the securities. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security using the effective yield method. 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.
Payment In-Kind Securities. Certain Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities. Payment in-kind securities give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and may require a pro-rata adjustment to interest receivable from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities. The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
NOTE 2.
Fees and Transactions with Affiliates. The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements for each of the Funds with Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the "Advisor"), with which the 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 with members who are current and former employees of the Advisor, and Stephens — H&W, LLC, a limited liability company whose primary member is SF Holding Corp., which is a diversified holding company. The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Funds' investments and provides the 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 annual rates prese nted below as applied to each Fund's daily net assets.

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. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan adopted by the Trust in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, 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.

NOTE 4.
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.
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified within the capital accounts.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis as of June 30, 2010:

NOTE 7.
Securities Lending. Effective December 2007, the Funds entered into a securities lending arrangement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Custodian"). Under the securities lending agreement, the Custodian is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers. In exchange, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. The total market value of securities on loan for each Fund as of June 30, 2010 is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted on the Schedule of Investments. Income earned from these investments is included in "Securities on loan" on the Statement of Operations and is allocated to each Fund based on each Fund's proportion of the total cash collateral received. Secur ities lending involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, the Custodian has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received.
A portion of the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any rebates paid by the Custodian to borrowers, is remitted to the Custodian as lending agent, and the remainder is paid to the Funds.

NOTE 8.
Indemnifications. Under the Trust's organizational documents and indemnification agreements between each independent Trustee and the Trust, 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, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 9.
Risk Factors. Investing in the Funds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Lower rated debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness than higher rated debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than higher quality securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value or sell.
The prices of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Funds may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities. For example, the prices of debt securities in the Funds' portfolios generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, "call" or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Longer maturity debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater p rice fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities.
The prices of, and the income generated by, the common stocks and other equity securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; governmental or governmental agency responses to economic conditions; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.

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 of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund (constituting the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at June 30, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the 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 "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibi lity 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 audit 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 at June 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 2010 – June 30, 2010).
The table below illustrates the Funds' costs in two ways:
Based on Actual Fund Returns. 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% Yearly Returns. 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.

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 Value Opportunities Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Diversified Value Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley High Yield Fund (each a "Fund") pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") with the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (the "Trust"). The Advisory Agreements were initially approved by the Board of Trustees at the inception of each Fund for two-year terms. The Advisory Agreements continue thereafter if approved annually by the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the Trust (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 in May 2010.
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 Fund relative to peer groups, 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 Fund as compared with the expense ratios of their peer group and their Lipper fund category and (vi) any benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates from its relation ship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees also requested and received information specifically related to the Advisor's risk controls and risk evaluation process. The Independent Trustees noted that the information provided by the Advisor was thorough and responsive to their requests. The information provided in response to their 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 held a conference call with their independent legal counsel to review the materials provided by the Advisor and reviewed and discussed a legal memorandum regarding, among other things, the duties of directors/trustees under the 1940 Act and relevant state law in reviewing and approving investment advisory contracts.
At the Board meeting, representatives of the Advisor discussed certain responses with the Trustees and responded to their further questions. 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 detail 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 the applicable 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 specifically seeking the Advisor's investment expertise and style. The Board also noted that when shareholders invest in a Fund, they know 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 o bjective 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, the 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 noted the addition of two experienced portfolio managers for the High Yield Fund, and the Advisor's statement that this enhances the research process on the equity side from idea generation, to credit analysis, to risk evaluation. The Trustees considered the portfolio managers' significant investments in the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the Trust's compliance program and the Advisor's commitment to a rigorous compliance effort and the resultant compliance by the Funds and the Advisor with legal requirements.
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. 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.
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 its Advisory Agreement were of a high level and were very satisfactory.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor. The Trustees noted that they review data on the short-term and long-term performance of the Funds in connection with each quarterly Board meeting. For the contract review meeting, the Trustees reviewed a report prepared by the Trust's administrator based on information compiled from Lipper Inc., an independent provider of data to mutual fund boards (the "Report"), that compared the performance of Class I shares of each Fund to that of a small group of funds that are similar primarily in terms of investment styles (each, a "Peer Group"). The Report also compared each Fund's performance to the most comparable Lipper universe and Lipper index for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, as applicable. This data was as of December 31, 2009, and performance information through March 2010 was provided as well. Since some funds' advisory contracts include administration services, the Report included administration fees with advisory fees for comparability.
The Board considered the performance information for each Fund, noting that each equity Fund significantly outperformed its Peer Group median for the 1-year periods ended December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, and that each equity Fund also was in the first quartile of its comparable Lipper universe for the 1-year period ended December 31, 2009. The Board noted that the High Yield Fund's performance for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2010 (the Fund's inception date was March 31, 2009), was under that of its Peer Group median, but was above the Peer Group median in recent quarters. The
44
Board considered that each equity Fund's performance for the 3- and 5-year periods ended December 31, 2009 was in the fourth quartile, except for the Value Opportunities Fund, which had first quartile performance for the 3-year period and second quartile performance for the 5-year period, and noted that the Large Cap Value and Mid-Cap Value Funds had second quartile performance and the Small Cap Value Fund had first quartile performance for the 10-year periods ended December 31, 2009. The Board noted that each Fund's performance versus its Lipper benchmark index for the periods covered in the Report was comparable to its performance versus its Lipper universe over the same periods.
The Trustees considered the Advisor's efforts to address prior under-performance issues, particularly the Advisor's increased emphasis on risk assessment, and noted the significant recent improvements in the Funds' performance.
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 data in the Report showing how the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios compared to those of their respective Peer Groups as well as to competitive universes 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 subadvisory clients. The Trustees noted that even though the Funds require more services and have higher costs, and even though 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, the fees charged to each Fund other than the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value and High Yield Funds are the same as or lower than the Advisor's current standard fee schedules for its separate account clients.
With respect to the advisory fee for each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Report showed that the Small Cap Value, Value Opportunities and High Yield Funds' net advisory fees (including administration fees) were lower than these Funds' Peer Group medians, that the Diversified Value Fund's net advisory fee (including administration fees) was the same as its Peer Group median, and that the Large Cap Value and Mid-Cap Value Funds' advisory fees (including administration fees) were slightly higher than their Peer Group medians. The Trustees noted that each Fund's net advisory fee (including administration fees) was in the second or third quartile of its Lipper universe, except for the High Yield Fund, for which the net advisory fee (including administration fees) was in the first quartile (where the first quartile includes funds with expenses more favorable than 75% of the relevant funds). The Trustees noted that the Advisor had ag reed to add breakpoints to the fee schedule for the Large Cap Value, Mid-Cap Value and Diversified Value Funds effective January 1, 2007, but that lower asset levels in 2009 meant that the breakpoints did not have an impact on the advisory fees. They noted that the Advisor uses a research-intensive process where other firms advising Peer Funds or in the Lipper universe might use investment processes that are less research-intensive. With respect to the expense ratios for the Funds, the Trustees noted that the Report showed each Fund's net expense ratio was higher than the median of the Peer Group, except for the Small Cap Value Fund, whose net expense ratio was equal to the median, and the High Yield Fund, whose net expense ratio was lower than the median. The Trustees noted that the Report showed that the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value and Value Opportunities Funds' net expense ratios were in the third quartile of their Lipper universe, the Mid-Cap Value and Small Cap Value Funds' net expense ratios wer e in the second quartile and the High Yield Fund's net expense ratio was in the first quartile. The Trustees noted the quality of the Advisor's investment process and 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 and fixed expenses. The Trustees considered that in 2009, the Advisor had absorbed over $1 million of costs above expense caps for the Funds for which it would not be reimbursed, and has agreed to continue to do so, noting that annualized expense ratios continue to be above the expense cap for the Large Cap Value, Diversified Value and High Yield Funds. 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 51; 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 from time to time the Advisor had voluntarily limited growth of assets by closing the Funds to new investors. The Trustees noted that closing the Funds was 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 not excessive.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered information regarding the investment, compliance and client service personnel and the new fixed-income portfolio manager who have been hired by the Advisor over the past few years, and the increase in technology spending. The Trustees concluded that the Funds' shareholders share in the additional services, investment in talented employees and capital improvements provided by the Advisor without an increase in advisory fees. The Trustees also noted that the addition of breakpoints to the Large Cap Value, Mid-Cap Value and Diversified Value Funds has in the past enabled, and may in the future enable, shareholders to share in 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 the Advisor's other clients). The Trustees also noted that the commissions paid by the Funds are generally quite low.
* * * *
Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the renewal of each Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund.

ANNUAL REPORT
Item 2 - Code of Ethics
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of the code of ethics is available without charge, upon request, by calling toll-free 1-800-796-5606.
Item 3 - Audit Committee Financial Expert
The registrant’s Board has determined that Robert Fitzgerald, a member of the registrant’s Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” and “independent,” as such terms are defined in this Item. This designation will not increase the designee’s duties, obligations or liability as compared to his duties, obligations and liability as a member of the Audit Committee and of the Board; nor will it reduce the responsibility of the other Audit Committee members. The Board believes each member of the Audit Committee contributes significantly to the effective oversight of the registrant’s financial statements and condition.
Item 4 - Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The principal accountant did not provide any other services. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| | FYE 6/30/2010 | | FYE 6/30/2009 | |
Audit Fees | | $ | 130,800 | | $ | 118,800 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 | |
Tax Fees | | $ | 37,500 | | $ | 36,500 | |
All Other Fees | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 | |
The registrant’s Audit Committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. The Committee shall pre-approve any engagement of the independent auditors to provide any non-prohibited services to the registrant, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may grant the pre-approval of services to the registrant for non-prohibited services for engagements of less than $5,000. All such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting. The Committee shall also pre-approve any engagement of the independent auditors, including the fees and other
compensation to be paid to the independent auditors, to provide any non-audit services to the Adviser (or any “control affiliate” of the Adviser providing ongoing services to the registrant), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may grant the pre-approval for non-prohibited services to the Adviser for engagements of less than $5,000. All such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.
The percentage of fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| | FYE 6/30/2010 | | FYE 6/30/2009 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | 0 | % | 0 | % |
Tax Fees | | 0 | % | 0 | % |
All Other Fees | | 0 | % | 0 | % |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser for the last two years. The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
Non-Audit Related Fees | | FYE 6/30/2010 | | FYE 6/30/2009 | |
Registrant | | $ | 37,500 | | $ | 36,500 | |
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | | $ | 105,000 | | $ | 239,400 | |
