May 31, 2012 |
Dear Shareholder,
The year ended May 2012 proved to be a difficult one for financial markets in general and for credit-focused, fixed income investors, specifically. Though hardly disastrous when compared to the 2008 financial crisis period, nonetheless credit markets struggled to produce positive returns. Amid concerns over insufficient policy responses by European Union (“EU”) officials to the mushrooming European sovereign debt crisis, questions about European bank capital adequacy, and the emergence of a world-wide economic slowdown, investors once again sought the perceived safety of higher-rated government bonds. As a result, credit spreads widened across all markets and returns for credit oriented investors were muted.
Continued uncertainty exists as we examine prospects for the coming year. Markets will closely scrutinize fiscal progress in the larger EU countries like Spain and Italy, not to mention the continuing problems in the peripheral nations of Greece, Portugal and Ireland. The EU must make continued progress toward a broader fiscal and banking union in order for markets to feel assured. In the meantime, China and the United States will struggle to regain their historic economic growth rates, as the governmental de-leveraging process continues throughout the developed world. The U.S. fiscal deficit will be a critical point of investor focus as we approach the November presidential election. Private sector deleveraging has progressed well in the U.S., with earnings and corporate balance sheets showing considerable improvement, but Europe has not fared as well. The European banks will require significant capital infusions and more aggressive loan loss provisioning if they are to regain the confidence of global investors.
We will continue to monitor these developments and will do our utmost to navigate through this period of uncertainty. Please follow our progress throughout the year by visiting our website at www.shiplp.com. There you will find continuing updates on our views of credit markets as well as other news and research. As we have said to you many times before, we appreciate the confidence you have placed in Stone Harbor Investment Partners.
Market Overview
Credit markets were impacted by a number of macroeconomic factors during the year including an escalating sovereign debt and financial crisis in Europe, the undetermined magnitude of the global slowdown, and a sluggish US economy. The fiscal year can be viewed as two distinct periods. The first six-month period was dominated by the growing contagion in Europe and the reality of a global economic slowdown. This period was followed by five months of strong market performance for all risk assets, primarily due to the effect of global monetary stimulus. Then market sentiments turned in the final month of the year, as the Euro crisis once again shook investor confidence and led to a flight to quality.
The inability to resolve a restructuring of Greek debt became the primary catalyst for market volatility as the EU failed to contain the crisis. EU governance issues raised doubts of the effectiveness of the existing mechanisms such as the European Financial Stability Facility (“EFSF”) to insure the fiscal stability of larger, more meaningful economies including Spain, Italy, and France. Adding further stress to a deteriorating economic outlook for the region, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, and Italy, as well as several prominent French banks were downgraded, increasing concern over the viability of the European banking system. In the U.S., the economy continued to falter as second quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) was revised downward and the inability of the US Congress to address the nation’s debt problems led to a downgrade of the US credit rating by credit rating agency, Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”). During this period, the Federal Reserve not only continued to reiterate its forecast for slower growth but stated that there are “significant downside risks to the economic outlook, including strains in global markets.” This was more negative than investor expectations and it was soon followed with QE ll, a new version of “Operation Twist,”1 intended to push down longer-term interest rates and to maintain very low rates “at least until mid-2013.” This resulted in investor uncertainty and a flight to quality, culminating in a late summer sell-off in global equities coupled with material spread widening across fixed income sectors, to levels not seen since 2009. US Treasury prices surged, rallying 100 basis points during the August-September time period.
In the fall, plans for a coordinated effort to recapitalize troubled banks materialized, and investors grew cautiously optimistic that Europe might be closer to the resolution of its debt crisis. The unveiling of a comprehensive debt deal at the conclusion of the EU summit in October fueled a brief rally. The rally was soon undercut by Greece’s failure to reach its deficit target and its flirting with calling for a referendum on the bailout package, the Federal Reserve lowering its outlook for GDP growth, and the US Government’s Super Committee being unable to reach an agreement on budget cuts. Financial pressures intensified, exacerbated by an unexpected 25 basis point rate cut by the European Central Bank and its assessment that the region is likely to be headed towards a mild recession by year-end. In addition to ongoing sovereign issues, the world economy grappled with the continued slowdown in global growth. The 34-nation Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) predicted that it will expand 1.9% this year and 1.6% next year, down from estimates of 2.3% and 2.8% in May. The Bundesbank also lowered Germany’s growth forecast from 1.8% to 0.75%. In an attempt to provide stimulus and liquidity, the Federal Reserve led a globally coordinated central bank response to the sovereign debt crisis, lowering interest rates on emergency dollar funding for European banks. Also on the last day of the month, China lowered bank minimum reserve requirements for the first time since 2008 in an effort to offset the negative impact of Europe’s debt crisis on exports and growth.

The market began a strong recovery in December helped by several significant actions. On the back of European Central Bank (“ECB”) President Marco Draghi warning substantial “downside risk” for the European economy, the ECB cut its benchmark rate 25 basis points to one percent and offered European banks unlimited liquidity for three years in an effort to stimulate the economy. This relieved concern over the financial viability of the European banking system, and investors shifted focus to an improving US economy. Upside surprises in economic fundamentals were forthcoming with better than expected economic indicators in the US and China, and with Europe expected to sustain a slight recession. The Fed followed with an announcement that it would keep rates low through 2014, while extending the maturity of its Operation Twist. Global monetary policy also remained one of the key catalysts to an improving economic environment, as the ECB completed its second Long-term Refinancing Operations (“LTRO”), China cut its bank reserve requirement for a second time, and other central banks also lowered rates.
Although Greece reached a finalized agreement in March, worldwide growth began to fade. China and European manufacturing both declined and China lowered its economic growth target. The International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) also downgraded its expectations for global economic growth and warned of a significant threat to the recovery posed by the ongoing stress in the euro area. Sovereign concerns spread through Europe, particularly for Spain and Italy as both countries warned of higher deficits, pushed back their balanced budget goals, and questioned their ability to endure more austerity. Sovereign spreads for both countries widened to three month highs. The domestic economy began to show signs of moderating economic growth; however, strong corporate earnings helped markets improve in April.
Risk markets took a dramatic downward turn in May. Greece’s inability to form a government, the prospect of its withdrawal from the EU, and the risk of contagion weighed heavily on the market. The Euro region also continued to show accelerated economic weakness, while China showed no signs of recovering from its recent economic slowdown. Signs of moderate economic growth in the US fell short of sustaining the momentum from prior months. With the downgrade of 16 Spanish banks, worries about the health of the Spanish banking system triggered a flight to quality into US Treasuries with the yield on the 10-year note falling to a record low of 1.56%, 150 basis points lower than at the beginning of the fiscal year.
The year was marked by significant volatility as macroeconomic events drove credit market performance. As represented by the Citigroup High Yield Market Index2, high yield spreads began the period at 526 basis points and widened to a level of 873 basis points in early October, before recovering to end the year at 688 basis points. The yield during the year increased from 6.78% to 7.66%. In emerging markets (“EM”), credit spreads for EM external debt (hard currency) also widened during the period. However, total returns in 41 of the 47 countries in the index were positive, reflecting technical developments in emerging markets debt and sustained investor support. The yield spread on the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global Diversified3 moved from 296 basis points to 414 basis points during the period. Returns for the emerging local currency debt markets were driven largely by movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The EM Corporate asset class was impacted by the deteriorating global macro environment, combined with negative technical environment where we saw significant outflows from primarily non-dedicated EM Corporate investors, as well as a reduction in risk taking and liquidity from dealers due to the volatile risk outlook and uncertain regulatory environment. The high yield segment of the asset class suffered most significantly, while the investment grade component, by large, fared better.
At Stone Harbor, we will continue to focus on seeking to capture excess return from stable and improving credit situations in corporate and sovereign markets worldwide. We remain vigilant to the credit risks associated with the systematic banking problems in Europe, as well as the slowdown in global growth.
Performance Overview
Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund
The total return of the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund (the Fund) since inception June 1, 2011 was -5.10% (net of expenses) and -4.10% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of 3.39% for the JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index Broad Diversified5 (CEMBI Broad Diversified). The performance for the Emerging Markets (EM) corporate sector was driven by global macro headlines including: S&P’s downgrade of the United States credit rating, concerns over European sovereign defaults, concerns of a China hard-landing and lower growth expectations.
The negative impact on the EM corporate sectors caused by the deterioration in the global macro environment was compounded by a negative technical environment in which we saw significant outflows from primarily non-dedicated EM corporate investors, as well as a reduction in risk-taking and liquidity from dealers due to the volatile risk outlook and uncertain regulatory environment. This combination of factors led to weak performance of the asset class during Q3 2011 with the CEMBI Broad Diversified returning -4.79%. The impact was felt even more severely in the high yield segment of the sector, with the CEMBI Broad Diversified High Yield Sub Index returning -12.64% during Q3 2011. By contrast, the investment grade component of the index was down only -1.04%. In the portfolio management team’s view, this sell-off was largely sentiment-driven, rather than a reflection of EM Corporate credit fundamentals. The Fund maintained a significant overweight to high yield relative to the index during this period, which contributed to the vast majority of underperformance during Q3 and Q4 2011. Liquidity in the asset class during this timeframe was weaker than normal, and valuations had moved to levels that justified holding existing credit quality positions relative to the

May 31, 2012 |
index, according to the Fund’s management team. This positioning allowed the Fund to outperform as risk markets rallied in the first quarter of 2012.
From a regional perspective, the Fund remained overweight Latin America and Emerging Europe while underweight Asia and the Middle East. Latin America was the largest contributor to underperformance during the year, contributing -4.12% towards underperformance relative to the index. The overweight to Emerging Europe also contributed -2.09% to the underperformance relative to the index. The region’s significant commodity exposure, both oil & gas and metals & mining, led to underperformance, as commodity prices were negatively impacted by downward revisions in global economic growth.
An underweight to Asia also detracted from relative returns, The underperformance in Asia was a combination of our exposure to high yield bonds from China and an underweight exposure to defensive countries and sectors in the Asia region. Although Middle East positions also detracted from performance, the region was one of the best performing EM corporate sectors during the reporting period. The Fund increased its position in the Middle East by 3.05%.
From a country perspective, the Fund’s largest overweight exposures were Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Russia and Ukraine. While we reduced our exposure to these countries during the period, we remained overweight. Our overweight to Brazil contributed -0.16% towards underperformance relative to the index, driven by investor concerns related to the potential for lower GDP growth for 2012 and the negative impact of the recent weakening of the Brazilian real on corporate margins and leverage. Argentina has been a significant underperformer during the period contributing -1.10% towards underperformance relative to the index. As a result of the expropriation of Repsol’s controlling stake in YPF by the Argentine government, the entire Argentine corporate bond universe suffered significant price action. In Mexico, we underperformed the index primarily due to our exposure to high yield corporates in Mexico. Other notable underperforming countries relative to the index were Indonesia (-0.65%) and Ukraine (-0.24%) – both countries were impacted by the deterioration in commodity prices. The -0.63% underperformance in China relative to the index was largely driven by our overweight exposure to China high yield debt during the period.
The Fund increased exposure to defensive industries such as electric utilities, media and cable companies and investment grade exploration and production (E&P) companies. The increase in weighting to E&P of 4.25% was the largest Industry increase during the period, followed closely by a 3.99% increase in the electric industry. While the exposure to the electric industry negatively impacted results during the period, the underperformance was primarily related to exposure to Edenor, an Argentine electricity distribution company. The Fund’s exposure to the South Korean power sector, which we increased, positively impacted returns.
Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund
The total return of the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund for the twelve months ended May 31, 2012 was 4.61% (net of expenses) and 5.33% (gross of expenses). This performance compares to a benchmark return of 7.01% for the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified. External sovereign bond credit spreads over comparable maturity US Treasury securities widened during the reporting period. However, total returns in all but 6 of the 47 countries in the index were positive. Emerging markets debt returns benefitted from significant declines in US Treasury yields. Return volatility spiked in specific time periods, particularly late in the third quarter of 2011, in December 2011 and in May 2012, in response to a variety of factors largely related to advanced economies, including concerns over global growth and Europe’s debt crisis. During these periods, local currency debt from emerging markets was significantly impacted as EM foreign exchange markets remained highly liquid and served as an efficient means to reduce emerging markets risk. Foreign exchange markets began to recover in January 2012 after the European Central Bank implemented a new policy that provided cheap, long-term funding to European banks. By mid-January and continuing until early May, returns on all three sectors of emerging markets debt remained strongly positive, buoyed, in our view, by central bank liquidity as well as ongoing capital inflows.
Total returns for the reporting period reflected technical developments in emerging markets debt, as well as fundamental factors in advanced and developing economies. Strong investor demand remained supportive for emerging markets external debt. According to JP Morgan, new allocations to emerging markets from institutional fixed income investors amounted to over $28.5 billion. Of this amount, over 80% was allocated to US dollar-denominated sovereign and corporate bonds; the remainder went to local currency investments. In addition, many emerging market governments took advantage of improving markets in the first several months of 2012 to fulfill a majority of annual financing needs. As a result, the remaining calendar of debt issuance remained manageable, in our view, particularly in comparison to the large funding needs of advanced economies including Spain, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Throughout the period, the portfolio was positioned to take advantage of the portfolio management team’s country views and assessments of global risks and relative value. The Fund retained its exposure to corporate debt, but gradually shifted into more defensive investment grade positions, as markets rallied in the first few months of 2012. The Fund’s corporate market value exposure at the end of the reporting period was 15.29%. As local currency debt market returns accelerated in the first quarter, the management team reduced the portfolio’s exposure to local currencies and local interest rates from approximately 13% at the end of January 2012 to just over 5% at the end of the reporting period.

hedges, exposure to emerging market local currencies was approximately 3.61% at the end of the reporting period. Local currency markets remain liquid with low bid/ask costs; the team viewed this change as an efficient way to reduce risk, as the cost of replacing the exposure is limited in the current market.
The portfolio underperformed its benchmark as a result of country selection and issue selection decisions. The country decision that detracted most from performance was an overweight to Argentina, particularly in the period following March when the government announced stricter capital controls, and in May following the government’s renationalization of YPF, Argentina’s largest producer of oil and gas. An overweight to Iraq also detracted from performance as did allocations to corporate debt in several countries including Brazil, China, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Mexico. An overweight in Venezuela and an underweight in Hungary enhanced excess returns. Issue selection decisions that dominated performance attribution included good relative value trading of various debt instruments from Argentina and allocations to short maturity external debt from Venezuela. Allocations to local currencies in Brazil and Mexico, in particular, detracted from performance.
Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund
Fund performance for the twelve months ended May 31, 2012 was –5.84% (net of expenses) and -4.95% (gross of expenses). This compares to a benchmark total return of -6.46% for the JP Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified4. Local markets total returns are generally driven by movements in foreign currency, interest rates, and yields. During the period, the foreign exchange component of the index was down -16.19%, local rates were up 9.73%, and yield differentials versus the developed world remained wide. Return volatility spiked in the third quarter of 2011, December 2011, and May 2012 as a result of a variety of factors. While currency weakness accompanies most periods of volatility within emerging markets, weaker currencies resulted at these times from heightened concerns over banking and sovereign debt crises in Europe and lower global growth. Additionally, the highly liquid nature of foreign exchange facilitated its use as a risk reduction instrument during these periods of volatility, putting further pressure on currencies. Local interest rates, in contrast, delivered strong positive performance over the same period in local currency terms. Global growth expectations and inflationary pressure moved lower, which allowed EM central banks to remain on hold despite currency weakness, potentially leaving the door open for modest rate cuts. Additionally, unlike other periods of EM weakness, there have not been significant investor redemptions from the asset class, supporting local rate performance.
Throughout the reporting period, the portfolio favored faster growing economies in Latin America and Asia, with overweight allocations in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Malaysia. The portfolio’s underweight positions have been concentrated in Central and Eastern Europe, where a mix of more limited growth prospects, short-term policymaking, and contagion effects from an increasingly unstable Euro zone have reduced the attractiveness of local debt markets. We maintained country overweights in Brazil, but reduced the size of the overweight in March as the Brazilian Central Bank began to intervene aggressively to weaken its currency, subsequently adding back to our overweight after an aggressive sell-off in May. The interventionist stance of the Brazilian Central Bank prompted us to partially hedge our currency risk in the Colombian Peso in anticipation of government-supported intervention to weaken the Peso.
As global growth slowed and commodity prices fell, inflation and inflation expectations declined, and allowed room for central bankers to lower policy interest rates in several EM countries including Brazil, Russia and China. Brazil embarked on an aggressive easing cycle in August 2011, cutting rates by 400 basis points and leaving its policy rate at its lowest level in history. China cut its one year lending rate for the first time since 2008. The Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund was positioned in longer duration bonds relative to the benchmark in several countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and South Africa at various times to take advantage of either steep yield curves or expectations of falling interest rates, or both.
The Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark as a result of country selection and issue selection decisions. The country decision which most enhanced performance was an underweight in Hungary, as it underperformed the market due to weak growth and heavy public debt load. Underweights in Poland, Turkey and Indonesia also enhanced performance. The country decision which most detracted from performance was an underweight position in Peru. The Central Bank of Peru continued to heavily manage its currency, and President Humala distanced himself from the populist rhetoric of his campaign platform. Decisions to allocate to long duration bonds in Brazil, Colombia and Mexico enhanced total returns. Our allocation to short duration Indonesia local debt detracted from performance.
Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund
The Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund return for the twelve months ended May 31, 2012 was 1.77% (net of expenses) and 2.32% (gross of expenses). This compares to a benchmark return of 4.69% for the Citigroup High Yield Market Capped Index. It was a difficult year for high yield, which felt the widespread impact of an escalating sovereign debt and financial debt crisis in Europe, the undetermined magnitude of the global slowdown, and a sluggish US economy. It was a period of significant volatility, with high yield spreads ranging from an initial 535 basis points widening to over 800 basis points (the highest since 2009), before closing the year at 690 basis points.

Within this context of market volatility and growing concerns over the European banking system, fiscal 2012 can be divided into two distinct periods, trailed by the final month of May. During the first period from June to November, a number of macroeconomic events caused significant volatility. From December through April, positive domestic economic growth and global monetary stimulus were the catalyst for the market’s rebound. The market came full circle in May 2012 and declined as macroeconomic events, particularly from Europe, put pressure on risk assets.
The major macroeconomic factors that caused extreme volatility in the early part of the review period were a second bailout required by Greece, which stoked fears of contagion in the European periphery; the downgrade of Greece, Portugal, and Italy; and the question of financial viability of the European banking system. In response, high yield spreads widened to levels not seen since September 2009. The domestic markets came under pressure by the debt ceiling debate and subsequent S&P downgrade of US debt. Growth also slowed in the US, driven by the shutdown of Japanese manufacturing (particularly auto production), which was caused by the earlier earthquake and increased energy prices from the growing political instability in North Africa and the Middle East. A downward revision to the first and second quarter GDP growth was also a surprise to the market.
These macroeconomic events sparked a number of actions globally, but the most significant measures were taken by the US and Europe. The goal of these actions was twofold: inject substantial monetary stimulus to promote worldwide economic growth and provide stability to the wavering European banking system. In addition to committing to keeping rates low for an extended period of time, the US instituted “operation twist” to lower long term rates. The Federal Reserve also led a globally coordinated central bank response to the sovereign debt crisis by lowering interest rates on emergency dollar funding to the European banking system. Shortly thereafter, the ECB cut its benchmark rate to one percent and offered the European banks unlimited liquidity (Long Term Refinancing Operation) for three years, which proved to be the most effective measure of all. The IMF also alluded to the possibility of additional funding.
Encouraged by an improving domestic economy, reduced fears of a European debt crisis, and worldwide accommodative monetary policy, the high yield market experienced a strong recovery through April 2012. Solid corporate earnings, improving US economic indicators, continued global monetary stimulus, and declining sovereign spreads to multi-month lows, together provided support for all risk assets and the S&P 500 reached its highest level since May, 2008. The market was also aided by the Federal Reserve’s commitment to maintain low rates through 2014, as investors looking for yield led to strong technical conditions in the market.
With bond yields at their lowest level of the year on strong corporate earnings and robust technical factors, macroeconomic concerns again put pressure on the market in May 2012. The market declined on the possibility of Greece’s withdrawal from the euro (and the possible contagion associated with such an event), the viability of the Spanish banking system, accelerated economic weakness in Europe, and the domestic economy showing mixed signals on economic growth for the first time since November 2011. In response to weakening economic conditions in Europe, the ten-year Treasury bond rallied to end the year at 1.56%.
It was a difficult year for performance as macroeconomic factors overwhelmed company fundamentals. High yield fundamentals remain strong with favorable company earnings and cash flows, while balance sheets remain conservatively leveraged. The market has not witnessed any signs of re-leveraging as the record breaking new issuance in the last two years has enabled companies to reduce refinancing risk, while maintaining adequate liquidity. The number of ratings upgrades continues to exceed downgrades, suggesting that fundamentals are strong and intact. Credit spreads remain wide in spite of historically low default rates.
Our credit rating exposure has had a negative effect on performance, as high quality securities outperformed for the year. Our underweight in BB-rated issues also was negatively impacted by the 150 basis point rally in the 10-year Treasury bond as BB-rated securities are more closely correlated to interest rates. Issue selection, particularly in the Transportation, Telecommunications, Retail, and Utility sectors, detracted from returns, while our cash position had a positive effect on performance.
Our high yield strategy is positioned for continuing moderate US economic growth. We are overweight B-rated securities relative to BB-rated bonds due to our expectations for US economic growth, low default rates and attractive valuations. We are overweight the Chemical, Food, and Cable/Media industries due to strong cash flows, good asset values, and attractive valuations. We remain underweight Financials and Services industries.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Brock

The below examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on December 1, 2011 and held until May 31, 2012.
Actual Expenses. The first line of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line of each 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 the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect transactional costs, such as redemption fees, sales charges (loads) or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Stone Harbor Investment Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Stone Harbor Investment Funds (the “Funds”), comprising the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund, and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, including the statements of investments, as of May 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended for Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, the year ended May 31, 2012 and the period June 30, 2010 (Inception) to May 31, 2011 for Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund, and the year ended May 31, 2012 for Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds constituting the Stone Harbor Investment Funds as of May 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended for Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, the year ended May 31, 2012 and period June 30, 2010 (Inception) to May 31, 2011 for Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund, and the year ended May 31, 2012 for Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) | Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, such securities have been determined to be liquid by Stone Harbor Investment Partners and may normally be sold to qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from registration. Total market value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $139,878,777, which represents approximately 11.82% of net assets as of May 31, 2012. |
(2) | Security is currently in default/non-income producing. |
(3) | Floating or variable rate security. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect at May 31, 2012. |
(4) | Securities were originally issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts securities offered and sold outside of the United States from registration. Such securities cannot be sold in the United States without either an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an exemption from registration. As of May 31, 2012, the aggregate market value of those securities was $366,349,359, which represents approximately 30.95% of net assets. |
(5) | Step bond. Coupon increases periodically based upon a predetermined schedule. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect at May 31, 2012. |
(6) | Pay-in-kind securities. |
(7) | Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at May 31, 2012. Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown. |

(7) | Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at May 31, 2012. Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown. |
(8) | Amount represents less than 0.005% of net assets. |
(9) | Non-income producing security. |

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stone Harbor Investment Funds, which consists of Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) is a Massachusetts business trust (the “Trust”), organized on February 20, 2007 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund commenced operations on June 1, 2011. Each Fund is a non-diversified portfolio with an investment objective to maximize total return. Shares of each Fund are currently divided into two classes, designated Institutional Class Shares and Distributor Class Shares. As of the date of this report, there were no outstanding shares for the Distributor Class of each Fund. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to create additional funds and share classes.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Investment Valuation: Debt securities, including bank loans and linked notes, are generally valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by independent pricing services or brokers that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various other relationships between securities. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Publicly traded foreign government debt securities are typically traded internationally in the over-the-counter market, and are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices as of the close of business of that market. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Funds calculate their net asset value, the Funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Money market mutual funds are valued at their net asset value.
A three-tier hierarchy has been established to measure fair value based on the extent of use of “observable inputs” as compared to “unobservable inputs” for disclosure purposes and requires additional disclosures about these valuations measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing a security. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The three-tier hierarchy is summarized as follows:
Level 1— | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. | |
Level 2— | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curve, rates, and similar data. | |
Level 3— | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
(b) Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Funds determine the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults on an expected interest payment, the Funds’ policy is to generally halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default.
(c) Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.

(d) Foreign Securities: The Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
(e) Risk Exposure and the Use of Derivative Instruments: The Funds’ investment objectives not only permit the Funds to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Funds to enter in various types of derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Funds employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that may make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors, among others:
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in these risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to it net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds’ performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.
Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell or close out the derivative in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type bellow in the notes that follow.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Credit Linked Notes: The Funds may invest in credit linked notes to obtain economic exposure to high yield, emerging markets or other securities. Investments in a credit linked note typically provide the holder with a return based on the return of an underlying reference instrument, such as an emerging market bond. Like an investment in a bond, investments in credit-linked securities represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the security. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying reference instrument, an investment in a credit linked note is also subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the note. Because credit linked notes are derivatives, an investment in these instruments is generally subject to the risks associated with derivatives.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations of derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure: Fair values of derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of May 31, 2012:

(f) Loan Participations and Assignments: The Funds may invest in loans arranged through private negotiation between one or more financial institutions. The Funds’ investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower and the Funds may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which they have purchased the participation.
The Funds assume the credit risk of the borrower, the lender that is selling the participation and any other persons interpositioned between the Funds and the borrower. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Funds may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.
(g) Credit and Market Risk: The Funds invest in high yield and emerging market instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit and market risks. The Funds’ investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involves risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of investments held by the Funds. The Funds’ investment in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities may also result in foreign currency losses caused by devaluations and exchange rate fluctuations. Investments in derivatives are also subject to credit and market risks.
(h) Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-date. Income distributions, if any are generally declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
(i) Classifications of Distributions: Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by a Fund.
The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the years ended May 31, 2012, and May 31, 2011, was as follows:

The tax components of distributable earnings are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from the composition of net assets reported under GAAP. Accordingly, for the year ended May 31, 2012, certain differences were reclassified. These differences were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of certain investments and the amounts reclassified did not affect net assets.
The reclassifications were as follows:

(k) Federal and Other Taxes: No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.
Management of the Funds analyzes all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for all tax years since inception are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed into law. The provisions of the Modernization Act are generally effective for tax years beginning after the date it was signed into law, therefore the enacted provisions will apply to the Funds for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2012. The Modernization Act is the first major piece of legislation affecting regulated investment companies (“RICs”) since 1986 and it modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Some highlights of the enacted provisions are as follows:
New capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss.
The Modernization Act contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests. Additionally, the Modernization Act exempts RICs from the preferential dividend rule, and repealed the 60-day designation requirement for certain types of paythrough income and gains.
Finally, the Modernization Act contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by a RIC during the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which a RIC might be required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions.
2. ADVISORY FEES
Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP is the Trust’s investment adviser. Under the investment advisory agreement the Trust pays an investment advisory fee calculated daily and paid monthly of 0.60%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 0.85% of the average daily net assets for Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund, and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, respectively.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses with respect to each of the Funds so that the Net Annual Operating Expenses (exclusive of acquired Fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses) of the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund Institutional Class, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund Institutional Class and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund Institutional Class will not exceed 0.75%, 0.55%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively. This undertaking is in effect through September 30, 2012 and is reevaluated on an annual basis.
The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class by class basis, expenses it has borne through the undertakings described above to the extent that a Fund’s expenses in later periods fall below the annual rates set forth in the relevant undertaking. A Fund will not be obligated to pay any such deferred fees and expenses more than three years after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee and expense was deferred. Prior to 2011, the recovery period was limited to one year for the Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund and as such, amounts waived and reimbursed through 2010 are not eligible to be recovered. At May 31, 2012, deferred fees and expenses that were eligible to be recovered by the Adviser were as follows:

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
At May 31, 2012, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Funds have the ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its shares. Transactions in shares of the Institutional Class can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
5. APPLICATION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU No. 2011-04 amends FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these amendments may have on the Funds financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.
6. OTHER
Board of Trustees Compensation: No officer, trustee or employee of the Adviser or any of its affiliates receives any compensation from the Funds for serving as an officer or trustee of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 the Trust paid each Trustee who is not an interested person, as defined by the 1940 Act, of the Adviser or any of its affiliates a fee of $39,000. Going forward, the Trust will pay each Trustee who is not an interested person an annual fee of $54,000.

Stone Harbor Investment Funds | Investment Advisory Agreements | |
May 31, 2012 (Unaudited) |
The investment advisory agreements (each an “Agreement” and, together, the “Agreements”) for each of Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) is subject to annual approval by (i) the vote of a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, or of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), of the applicable Fund, and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds (the “Independent Trustees”). Each Agreement is terminable with respect to a Fund by the Adviser, a majority of the Trustees, or a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund, without penalty, by not less than 60 days’ prior written notice. Each Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined for purposes of the 1940 Act).
The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, meets over the course of the year with representatives of Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP, each Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), including the Funds’ respective portfolio managers, and regularly reviews detailed information regarding the investment program and performance of each Fund. The Board of Trustees also receives periodic updates between meetings. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, met on April 18, 2012 to review the Agreements for each Fund and to determine whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements for an additional one-year period. The Trustees considered all information they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms thereof. In connection with this meeting, the Trustees received materials to assist them with their review. These materials included, among other things, (i) information on each Fund’s investment performance and the performance of a group of similar mutual funds (some of which was prepared by a third party); (ii) information on each Fund’s advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing each Fund’s expenses to the fees charged to institutional accounts managed by the Adviser and to a group of similar funds prepared by a third party and information about any applicable expense caps; and (iii) information about the profitability of each Agreement to the Adviser. In considering whether to approve the continuation of each Agreement, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with their approval of the Agreements included, but were not limited to, the following:
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Agreements.
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees took into account the experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team and of the Adviser’s senior management, and the time and attention they devote to the Funds.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each Agreement, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser.
The Trustees reviewed performance information for each Fund for various time periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent performance information provided at the meeting. The review included a comparison of each Fund’s performance to the performance of a group of comparable funds selected by a third party (except with respect to the Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, which as of the date of the meeting had not been operational for a full year) and each Fund’s respective benchmark. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally and its investment techniques, risk management controls and decision-making processes.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each Agreement, that these factors supported the renewal of the Agreements.
The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds.
The Trustees considered the fees charged to each Fund for advisory services as well as the total expense level of each Fund. The Adviser furnished information to the Trustees compiled by a third party showing a comparison of each Fund’s advisory fees and total expense levels compared to a group of similar mutual funds selected by the third party. The Trustees considered that several of the Funds, because they were smaller than most of the funds to which they were being compared, could not take advantage of economies of scale (which can reduce fund expenses) to the same extent as those larger funds. The Trustees also noted that each Fund is subject to expense caps. The Adviser also provided information about the costs to it of providing services to the Funds and information about its profitability with respect to its management of the Funds, as well as information about the advisory fees it charges to institutional separate accounts with similar strategies and information about differences in such fees. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the effective management fee rates charged by the Adviser to the Funds (after application of expense caps and waivers) are generally comparable to the fees charged to similarly managed institutional accounts. The Trustees also considered the demands and complexity of the investment management of the Funds as compared to the complexity of managing separate accounts.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each Agreement, that the advisory fees for each of the Funds were fair and reasonable, and that the costs of these services generally and

Table of Contents

May 31, 2012 (Unaudited) |
the related profitability of the Adviser in respect of its relationship with the Funds supported the renewal of the Agreements.
Economies of Scale.
The Trustees considered to what extent economies of scale would likely be realized as the Funds grow and whether those economies would be shared with the Funds through breakpoints in their investment advisory fees or other means, such as expense caps. The Trustees noted that several of the Funds are relatively new and small in size, and in the near term were not expected to generate any significant economies of scale, and that all the Funds were subject to expense caps. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser proposed to maintain the Funds’ fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangements at current levels until September 30, 2013.
After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding each Agreement, that the extent to which economies of scale would be shared with the Funds supported the approval of the Agreements.
The Trustees also considered other factors, which included but were not limited to the following:
• | Whether each Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective and each Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Funds and the Adviser. They also considered the compliance-related resources the Adviser provided to the Funds, including resources designed to ensure compliance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of each Fund. |
• | So-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, such as the benefits from offering its institutional clients the ability to invest in a registered investment company. |
Based on their evaluation of all factors they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the existing investment advisory agreements for Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund and Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund should be continued through June 20, 2013.
