AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, and reclassification of certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund | 0.05 | % | 0.20 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.

June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At June 30, 2014, these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services. A summary of the Fund’s investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $2,473 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.

The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund did not directly invest in derivatives.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $334,029,222. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 97,552,714 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (720,250 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 96,832,464 | ||
|
|
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund | $ | 6,512,409 | $ | 1,087,438 | $ | 7,599,847 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund | $ | 6,008,338 | $ | 5,277,408 | $ | — | $ | 80,249,161 | $ | 91,534,907 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.

AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, and reclassification of certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund | 0.05 | % | 0.20 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the

During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At June 30, 2014, these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.

Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $8,080 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund did not directly invest in derivatives.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $1,059,159,497. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 379,059,897 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (2,547,022 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 376,512,875 | ||
|
|
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund | $ | 14,002,980 | $ | 2,637,482 | $ | 16,640,462 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund | $ | 16,767,102 | $ | 6,699,498 | $ | — | $ | 306,586,532 | $ | 330,053,132 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.

(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold and on foreign currency transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.

Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $9.1 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $8.4 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 66,933 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 10,683 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |

3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund | 0.10 | % | 0.20 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $162,593,138. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 20,011,083 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (136,837 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 19,874,246 | ||

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:

AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund | $ | 11,244 | $ | 16,832 | $ | 28,076 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

(a) The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.

Expense Examples
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

ADR—American Depositary Receipt
* | As of June 30, 2014, the CDX North America High Yield Index included securities which had defaulted and represented 1% of the Index. |
** | Reflects the notional amount after the default of securities. |
(a) | These securities are held by the AZL BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (the “VIP Subsidiary”). |
(b) | All or portion of these securities are held by the AZL Cayman Global Allocation Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”). |
(c) | When a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund as a seller of credit protection will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and take delivery of the reference entity or (ii) pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value. Alternatively, the Fund as a buyer of credit protection will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and deliver the reference entity to the seller or (ii) receive a net amount of equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value. |
(d) | Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront or daily payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement. |
(e) | The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement. |

AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold and on foreign currency transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of foreign securities, in which case dividends are recorded as soon as such information becomes available.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries
During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Fund primarily invested in shares of another mutual fund managed by the Manager, the AZL BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (the “VIP Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the Fund.
As of June 30, 2014, the Fund’s aggregate investment in the VIP Subsidiary was $746,804,708, representing 95.0% of the Fund’s net assets.
The VIP Subsidiary’s primary vehicle for gaining exposure to the commodities markets is through investment in the AZL Cayman Global Allocation Fund, Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the VIP Subsidiary formed in the Cayman Islands, which invests primarily in commodity-related instruments.
The Fund’s operations have been consolidated with the operations of the VIP Subsidiary and the Cayman Subsidiary.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
The Fund may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the period, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the fair value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.
Floating Rate Loans
The Fund may invest in floating rate loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. These loans are made by banks and other large financial institutions to various companies and are typically senior in the borrowing companies’ capital structure. Coupon rates are floating, not fixed and are tied to a benchmark lending rate. Loans involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. A Fund records an investment when the borrower withdraws money and records the interest as earned.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its assets pursuant to agreements requiring that the loan be continuously secured by any combination of cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, equal initially to at least 102% of the fair value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned (105% for foreign securities). The borrower of securities is at all times required to post collateral to the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the fair value of the securities loaned based on the previous day’s fair value of the securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls are adjusted the next business day. The Fund bears all of the gains and losses on such investments. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities lent while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral received. In extremely low interest rate environments, the broker rebate fee may exceed the interest earned or the cash collateral which would result in a loss to the Fund. The investment of cash collateral deposited by the borrower is subject to inherent market risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other risks that are present in the market, and as such, the value of these investments may not be sufficient, when liquidated, to repay the borrower when the loaned security is returned. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to borrowers, such as broker-dealers, banks or institutional borrowers of securities, deemed by the Manager to be of good standing and credit worthy and when in its judgment, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Trust or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments. Securities on loan at June 30, 2014 are presented on the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The average outstanding amount of securities on loan was $15.5 million for the period ended June 30, 2014.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Securities Lending Collateral Trust (the “Securities Lending Collateral Trust”) managed by The Dreyfus Corporation, an affiliate of the Custodian and Securities Lending Agent. The Securities Lending Collateral Trust invests in short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less as calculated in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Fund paid securities lending fees of $19,672 during the period ended June 30, 2014. These fees have been netted against “Income from securities lending” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Commission Recapture
Certain Funds of the Trust participate in a commission recapture program. The Fund will utilize the recaptured commissions to pay for, in whole or part, certain expenses of the Fund, excluding investment advisory fees. Any amounts received by the Fund, if applicable, are disclosed as “Expenses paid indirectly” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Effective January 6, 2014, the Manager, on behalf of the Trust, requested the Fund cease participation in the program until further notice.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type.
Forward Currency Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund entered into forward currency contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies. In addition to the foreign currency risk related to the use of these contracts, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In the event of default by the counterparty to the transaction, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss, as either the buyer or the seller, is the unrealized appreciation of the contract. The forward currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The contract amount of forward currency contracts outstanding was $102.8 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average amount for these contracts was $74.0million for the period ended June 30, 2014.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $96.7 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $88.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Options Contracts
The Fund may purchase or write put and call options on a security or an index of securities. During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund purchased and wrote call and put options to increase or decrease its exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk, interest rate risk and/or foreign currency exchange rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums.
Purchased Options Contracts — The Fund pays a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing put options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing put options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
Written Options Contracts — The Fund receives a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and is required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value.
Realized gains and losses, if any, are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on options contracts” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Swap Agreements
The Fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Fund may enter into swap agreements to manage its exposure to market, interest rate and credit risk. The value of swap agreements are equal to the Fund’s obligations (or rights) under swap agreements, which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the agreements based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreements. In connection with these arrangements, securities may be indentified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty.
Swaps are marked to market daily using pricing sources approved by the Trustees and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. For OTC swaps, payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss upon termination or maturity of the OTC swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the OTC swap is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are included as part of realized gains (losses). Upon entering a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or assets determined to be liquid (the amount is subject to the clearing organization that clears the trade). Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable, as applicable, for variation margin on centrally cleared swaps.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and exposure to loss. The primary risks associated with the use of swap agreements are imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying instruments and the inability of counterparties or clearing house to perform. The counterparty risk for centrally cleared swap agreements is generally lower than for OTC swap agreements because generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a centrally cleared swap agreement and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to a clearing house for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the clearing house, or its members will satisfy its obligations to the Fund.
The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement. The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement (i.e., any unrealized appreciation) in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the swap agreement counterparty. The notional amount and related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each swap agreement at period end is disclosed in the swap tables in the Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund is party to International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with select counterparties that govern transactions, such as OTC swap contracts, entered into by the Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary or Cayman Subsidiary, and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding OTC swap transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional amount and are subject to interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities, other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to interest rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that a Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an interest rate swap defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. As of June 30, 2014, the Fund entered into OTC interest rate swap agreements to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). The Fund did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average gross notional amount for interest rate swaps was $17.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2014.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. The gross notional amount of total return swaps outstanding was $27.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average gross notional amount for total return swaps was $42.4 million to the year ended June 30, 2014.
Credit default swap agreements may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the Fund. The protection “buyer” in a credit default contract is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront, periodic, or daily stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity described in the swap, or the seller may be required to deliver the related net cash amount, if the swap is cash settled. A Fund may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. If the Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund may recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer generally may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As a seller, a Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
Credit default swap agreements involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. A Fund will enter into credit default swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. If a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the seller, coupled with the upfront, periodic, or daily payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the seller. The Fund’s obligations under a credit default swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the Fund). In connection with credit default swaps in which a Fund is the buyer, the Fund will segregate or “earmark” cash or assets determined to be liquid, or enter into certain offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the Fund’s exposure (any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed by the Fund to any counterparty), on a marked-to-market basis. In connection with credit default swaps in which a Fund is the seller, the Fund will segregate or “earmark” cash or assets determined to be liquid, or enter into offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the full notional amount of the swap (minus any amounts owed to the Fund). Such segregation or “earmarking” will ensure that the Fund has assets available to satisfy its obligations with respect to the transaction and will limit any potential leveraging of the Fund’s portfolio. Such segregation or “earmarking” will not limit the Fund’s exposure to loss. As of June 30, 2014, the Fund entered into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The gross notional amount of OTC and centrally cleared credit default swaps outstanding was $4.9 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average gross notional amount for credit default swaps was $3.2 million for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”) which amended Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01 clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that entity’s financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other requirements of U.S. GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.
The Fund is generally subject to master netting agreements that allow for amounts owed between the Fund and the counterparty to be netted. The party that has the larger payable pays the excess of the larger amount over the smaller amount to the other party. The master netting agreements do not apply to amounts owed to/from different counterparties. The amounts shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities do not take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements. The table below presents the gross and net amounts of these assets and liabilities with any offsets to reflect the Fund’s ability to reflect the master netting agreements at June 30, 2014. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This table also summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014.

The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has retained an independent money management organization (the “Subadviser”), to make investment decisions on behalf of the VIP Subsidiary. Pursuant to a portfolio management agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock Investment”), BlackRock Investment provides investment advisory services as the Subadviser for the VIP Subsidiary subject to the general supervision of the Trustees and the Manager. The Manager is entitled to a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the VIP Subsidiary. Expenses incurred by the Fund and the VIP Subsidiary for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” For its services, the Subadviser is entitled to a fee payable by the Manager. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund and the VIP Subsidiary to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s and the VIP Subsidiary’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund and the VIP Subsidiary, through April 30, 2015.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund | 0.10 | % | 0.15 | % | ||||||
AZL BlackRock Global Allocation Fund | 0.75 | % | 1.19 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the year are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the year can be found on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $4,134 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and other fixed income securities are generally valued at an evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short term securities of sufficient credit quality with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Options are generally valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the principal exchange on which the option is traded, which are then typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Forward currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Non exchange-traded derivatives, such as swaps and certain options, are generally valued by approved independent pricing services utilizing techniques which take into account factors such as yields, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Other assets and securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting on the behalf of the Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price at the close of the NYSE. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Fund utilizes a pricing service to assist in determining the fair value of securities when certain significant events occur that may affect the value of foreign securities.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. Management identifies possible fluctuation in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Fund may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities which are then typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:

7. Investment Risks
Commodities-Related Investment Risk: Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission has proposed changes to certain of its rules governing investment in commodities by mutual funds, such as the Fund. In the event these changes are adopted, or if there are changes in the tax treatment of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in commodities, the Fund may be unable to obtain exposure to commodity markets, or may be limited in the extent to which or manner in which it can obtain such exposure.
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest in derivatives as a principal strategy. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The counterparty to a derivatives contract could default. As required by applicable law, a Fund that invests in derivatives segregates cash or liquid securities, or both, to the extent that its obligations under the instrument are not covered through ownership of the underlying security, financial instrument, or currency.
Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets may have less developed trading markets and exchanges which may make it more difficult to sell securities at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in more developed markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund may not receive the proceeds of a sale of a security on a timely basis. Emerging countries may also have less developed legal and accounting systems and investments may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, nationalization, or confiscation.
Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk: Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those securities.
Security Quality Risk (also known as “High Yield Risk”): The Fund may invest in high yield, high risk debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in such securities. These securities are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these securities (liquidity risk). If the issuer of a security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the Fund may lose the value of its entire investment.
8. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $737,871,785. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 76,543,622 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (23,212,360 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 53,331,262 | ||

The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund | $ | 97,679 | $ | 88,336 | $ | 186,015 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund | $ | 12,557,995 | $ | 10,978,699 | $ | — | $ | 60,643,146 | $ | 84,179,840 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.

(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold and on foreign currency transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of foreign securities, in which case dividends are recorded as soon as such information becomes available.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in
6
AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $13.3 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $11.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 117,917 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 11,262 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||
Equity Contracts | Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts/Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | $ | 589,894 | $ | (98,449 | ) | ||||
Interest Rate | 105,937 | 60,511 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund | 0.10 | % | 0.15 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, the contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years were as follows:
Fund | Expires 12/31/2016 | ||||
AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund | $ | 23,396 |
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests.

Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives 12b-1 fees directly from the Fund, plus a Trust-wide annual fee of $42,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $1,269 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

Purchases | Sales | |||||||||
AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund | $ | 52,720,132 | $ | 6,209,744 |
6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $234,522,448. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 28,657,006 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (130,909 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 28,526,097 | ||
|
|
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund | $ | 417 | $ | 16,586 | $ | 17,003 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund | $ | 2,795,635 | $ | 1,491,804 | $ | — | $ | 15,829,465 | $ | 20,116,904 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |

As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,042.80 | $ | 1.11 | 0.22 | % |
The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, and reclassification of certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
(“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $65.6 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $64.4 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 489,028 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 74,359 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||
Equity Contracts | Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts/Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | $ | 2,849,035 | $ | (664,400 | ) | ||||
Interest Rate | 654,866 | 515,426 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund | 0.20 | % | 0.30 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $7,654 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to

the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:

Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

|
|
As of the end of its tax year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund has capital loss carry forwards (“CLCFs”) as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs subject to expiration are applied as short-term capital loss regardless of whether the originating capital loss was short-term or long-term. CLCFs that are not subject to expiration must be utilized before those that are subject to expiration. The Board does not intend to authorize a distribution of any realized gain for the Fund until any applicable CLCF has been offset or expires.
CLCFs subject to expiration:
Expires 12/31/2017 | |||||
AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund | $ | 923,166 |
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $19,597,382 in CLCFs to offset capital gains.
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund | $ | 20,989,730 | $ | — | $ | 20,989,730 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund | $ | 17,586,643 | $ | — | $ | (923,166 | ) | $ | 200,717,396 | $ | 217,380,873 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.
8. Acquisition of Funds
On April 26, 2013, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund shareholders on April 24, 2013. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 13,582,062 shares of the Fund, valued at $163,914,260, for 14,487,093 shares of the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund outstanding on April 26, 2013.
The investment portfolio of the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund, with a fair value of $155,679,588 and identified cost of $145,773,551 at April 26, 2013, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets of the Fund were $1,049,479,786. All fees and expenses incurred by the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund and the Fund directly in connection with the plan of reorganization were borne by the Funds.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, are as follows:
Net investment income/(loss) | $ | 15,146,714 | ||
Net realized/unrealized gains/losses) | 116,999,565 | |||
|
| |||
Change in net assets resulting from operations | $ | 132,1496,279 | ||
|
|
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund that have been included in the Fund’s statement of operations since April 26, 2013.

AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,041.50 | $ | 1.21 | 0.24 | % |
The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, and reclassification of certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
(“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $13.7 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $13.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 71,452 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 21,740 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||
Equity Contracts | Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts/Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | $ | 412,759 | $ | (94,708 | ) | ||||
Interest Rate | 174,348 | 138,600 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund | 0.20 | % | 0.35 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
Investment Securities: | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | ||||||||||||
Affiliated Investment Companies | $ | 263,285,079 | $ | — | $ | 263,285,079 | |||||||||

Purchases | Sales | |||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund | $ | 35,761,406 | $ | 35,084,156 |
6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $242,324,674. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 29,582,589 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (1,622,184 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 27,960,405 | ||

(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.

As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Fusion Growth Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

AZL MVP Fusion Growth Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Fusion Growth Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, and reclassification of certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value

AZL MVP Fusion Growth Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
(“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $46.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $45.5 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 553,188 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 21,611 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||

Interest Rate | 190,438 | 144,908 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||

Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $5,468 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.

4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:

Affiliated Investment Companies | $ | 882,281,692 | $ | — | $ | 882,281,692 | |||||||||

Purchases | Sales | |||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Growth Fund | $ | 60,365,240 | $ | 100,280,673 |
6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $701,412,851. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 252,523,147 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (38,654,306 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 213,868,841 | ||

As of the end of its tax year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund has capital loss carry forwards (“CLCFs”) as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs subject to expiration are applied as short-term capital loss regardless of whether the originating capital loss was short-term or long-term. CLCFs that are not subject to expiration must be utilized before those that are subject to expiration. The Board does not intend to authorize a distribution of any realized gain for the Fund until any applicable CLCF has been offset or expires.

(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |

As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, and reclassification of certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
(“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $140.7 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $137.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 1,364,478 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 113,605 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||
Equity Contracts | Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts/Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | $ | 7,876,623 | $ | (1,848,581 | ) | ||||
Interest Rate | 992,263 | 766,277 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund | 0.20 | % | 0.30 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program.

In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $16,344 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
Investment Securities: | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | ||||||||||||
Affiliated Investment Companies | $ | 2,678,177,954 | $ | — | $ | 2,678,177,954 | |||||||||

* | Other Financial Instruments would include any derivative instruments, such as futures contracts. These investments are generally recorded in the financial statements at the unrealized gain or loss on the investment. |
5. Security Purchases and Sales
For the period ended June 30, 2014, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund | $ | 200,045,439 | $ | 247,355,438 |
6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $2,211,049,321. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 602,342,337 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (39,213,704 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 563,128,633 | ||

As of the end of its tax year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund has capital loss carry forwards (“CLCFs”) as summarized in the tables below. CLCFs subject to expiration are applied as short-term capital loss regardless of whether the originating capital loss was short-term or long-term. CLCFs that are not subject to expiration must be utilized before those that are subject to expiration. The Board does not intend to authorize a distribution of any realized gain for the Fund until any applicable CLCF has been offset or expires.
CLCFs subject to expiration:
Expires 12/31/2017 | |||||
AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund | $ | 17,162,227 |
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $36,891,252 in CLCFs to offset capital gains.
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund | $ | 36,803,773 | $ | — | $ | 36,803,773 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund | $ | 35,104,890 | $ | — | $ | (17,162,227 | ) | $ | 490,097,899 | $ | 508,040,562 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.
8. Acquisition of Funds
On April 26, 2013, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund shareholders on April 24, 2013. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 26,874,897 shares of the Fund, valued at $316,567,026, for 27,547,105 shares of the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund outstanding on April 26, 2013.
The investment portfolio of the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund, with a fair value of $300,786,728 and identified cost of $278,882,682 at April 26, 2013, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets of the Fund were $2,146,421,277. All fees and expenses incurred by the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund and the Fund directly in connection with the plan of reorganization were borne by the Funds.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, are as follows:
Net investment income/(loss) | $ | 29,999,976 | ||
Net realized/unrealized gains/losses) | 327,641,283 | |||
|
| |||
Change in net assets resulting from operations | $ | 357,641,259 | ||
|
|
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund that have been included in the Fund’s statement of operations since April 26, 2013.
9. Ownership and Principal Holders
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumptions of control of the fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had a controlling interest (in excess of 50%) in the AZL NFJ International Fund, the AZL Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund, and the AZL Wells Fargo Large Cap Growth Fund, which are affiliated with the Investment Adviser.
10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.

(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/14 | Ending Account Value 6/30/14 | Expenses Paid During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14* | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/14 - 6/30/14 | |||||||||||||||||

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $48.7 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $44.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 543,412 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 27,659 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||
Equity Contracts | Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts/Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments | $ | 2,794,276 | $ | (472,915 | ) | ||||
Interest Rate | 241,595 | 142,660 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund | 0.10 | % | 0.20 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.

Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis.

Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program.

Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $4,762 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $830,544,094. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 133,560,210 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (143,891 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 133,416,319 | ||

AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund | $ | 53,288 | $ | 79,488 | $ | 132,776 |

As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund | $ | 9,327,558 | $ | 4,258,863 | $ | — | $ | 86,477,314 | $ | 100,063,735 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in
6
AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $19.8 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $17.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||
Equity Contracts | Receivable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | 176,958 | Payable for variation margin on futures contracts | $ | — | ||||||
Interest Rate | — | 15,659 |
* | For futures contracts, the amounts represent the cumulative appreciation/(depreciation) of these futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation Margin on Futures Contracts. |
The following is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended June 30, 2014:
Primary Risk Exposure | Location of Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Realized Gains/(Losses) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | |||||||

Interest Rate | 157,643 | 88,705 |
3. Related Party Transactions
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2015. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.”
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
Annual Rate | Annual Expense Limit | |||||||||
AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund | 0.10 | % | 0.15 | % |
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the lesser of the stated limit at the time of the waiver or the current stated limit. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At June 30, 2014, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no voluntary waivers.
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At June 30, 2014, these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services. A summary of the Fund’s investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $1,891 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles.

In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.

The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:

Affiliated Investment Company | $ | 379,091,927 | $ | — | $ | 379,091,927 | |||||||||

6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $341,055,766. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 52,620,544 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (3,904 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 52,616,640 | ||
|
|
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Ordinary Income | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions(a) | |||||||||||||
AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund | $ | 13,495 | $ | 20,219 | $ | 33,714 |
(a) | Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes. |
As of the latest tax year end December 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | Total Accumulated Earnings/ (Deficit) | |||||||||||||||||||||
AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund | $ | 1,964,977 | $ | 801,765 | $ | – | $ | 32,612,236 | $ | 35,378,978 |
(a) | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. |
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.
8. Concentration of Investments
As of June 30, 2014, the Fund’s investment in the AZL Invesco Equity and Income Fund, which is affiliated with the Investment Adviser, represented greater than 90% of the Fund’s net assets. The financial statements of the AZL Invesco Equity and Income Fund are attached hereto.

(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the AZL MVP T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
The Actual Expense table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

AZL MVP T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 12 separate investment portfolios (collectively, the “Funds”), of which one is included in this report, the AZL MVP T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”), and 11 are presented in separate reports.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of foreign securities, in which case dividends are recorded as soon as such information becomes available.
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
Expense Allocation
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust.
Derivative Instruments
All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
Futures Contracts
During the period ended June 30, 2014, the Fund invested in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets in
6
AZL MVP T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The notional amount of futures contracts outstanding was $6.0 million as of June 30, 2014. The monthly average notional amount for these contracts was $3.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2014. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) on futures contracts” on the Statement of Operations.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
The following is a summary of the fair values of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of June 30, 2014:
Asset Derivatives | Liability Derivatives | |||||||||||
Primary Risk Exposure | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location | Total Fair Value* | ||||||||

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. Fees payable to the Administrator are subject to certain reductions associated with services provided to new funds. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives 12b-1 fees directly from the Fund, plus a Trust-wide annual fee of $42,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended June 30, 2014, $182 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $163,000 annual Board retainer. In addition, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each trust. During the period ended June 30, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $456,400 in total for both trusts.
4. Investment Valuation Summary
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Fund determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). The investments utilizing Level 1 valuations represent investments in open-end investment companies.
Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
Investment Securities: | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | ||||||||||||
Affiliated Investment Company | $ | 116,137,463 | $ | — | $ | 116,137,463 | |||||||||

6. Investment Risks
Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest directly or through affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds or unregistered investment pools in derivative instruments such as futures, options, and options on futures. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The other party to a derivatives contract could default.
7. Federal Tax Information
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Cost for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2014 is $116,469,617. The gross unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 4,537,196 | ||
Unrealized depreciation | (5,429 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net unrealized appreciation depreciation | $ | 4,531,767 | ||
|
|
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending December 31, 2014.
8. Concentration of Investments
As of June 30, 2014, the Fund’s investment in the AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund, which is affiliated with the Investment Adviser, represented greater than 90% of the Fund’s net assets. The financial statements of the AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund are attached hereto.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) consists of 12 separate investment portfolios or series (together the “Funds,” and each individually a “Fund.”) Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2015.
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various applicable factors, such as asset class allocation decisions and volatility management strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
At an “in-person” Board of Trustees meeting held September 11, 2013, the Board authorized the creation of the AZL MVP T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund (the “T. Rowe Price Fund”) as a new series of the Trust.
The Management Agreement pertaining to the T. Rowe Price Fund was approved at the Board of Trustees meeting of September 11, 2013. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2015. In connection with such meeting, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with generally similar investment objectives to that of the T. Rowe Price Fund derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Management Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager. At least annually, the Board receives from experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager a memorandum discussing the legal standards for the Board’s consideration of proposed investment management agreements. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approval in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval of the Management Agreement in respect of the T. Rowe Price Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Management Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
11
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also was considered. The Trustees concluded at the September 11, 2013 meeting that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Trust and to the T. Rowe Price Fund under the Management Agreement.
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. At the September 11, 2013 meeting the Board received information about the performance of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) in managing a balanced fund that is generally comparable to the T. Rowe Price Fund, without the Managed Volatility Portfolio (MVP) risk management process, which has the goal of reducing volatility. The performance information, which covered the ten years ending June 30, 2013, included returns, risk, tracking error, performance versus a benchmark (a 60%/40% composite of the S&P 500 and Barclay’s Aggregate Index) and performance rankings relative to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted, for example, that, while past performance is not a guarantee of future results, the T. Rowe Price-managed fund (which has been managed by personnel and pursuant to the process which will be used for the T. Rowe Price Fund) significantly outperformed the benchmark over the two-, three-, five-, seven- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2013.
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. At the September 11, 2013 meeting the Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from the T. Rowe Price Fund. The Manager reported that for such Fund the advisory fee paid put it in the 1st percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information on the anticipated total expense ratio of the T. Rowe Price Fund and other funds in the customized peer group, and the Manager reported upon the challenges in making peer group comparisons for such Fund. The Board of Trustees also considered the impact of the Expense Limitation Agreement.
At the September 11, 2013 meeting the Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2011 through June 30, 2013. (The T. Rowe Price Fund did not commence until April 28, 2014.) The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund, and, based on their review, concluded that they were satisfied that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not excessive. It is expected that at Board of Trustees meetings to be held in October, 2014, the Trustees will receive information on the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the T. Rowe Price Fund.
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the advisory fee and anticipated expense ratio for the T. Rowe Price are not unreasonable.
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedule for the T. Rowe Price Fund does not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the Wells Fargo Fund had no assets as of September 11, 2013.
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” advisory fees and operating expenses for the T. Rowe Price Fund at 0.15%, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2014, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded at the September 11, 2013 meeting that the absence of breakpoints in the advisory fee rate schedule for the T. Rowe Price Fund was acceptable under the circumstances.
