Dear Shareholder:
The S&P 500 enjoyed a roughly 5% rate of return in the second quarter of 2014, more than twice its return in the first quarter. Outside the U.S., stock performance was mostly improved in Q2 relative to Q1’s anemic returns or, in the case of emerging markets, outright losses. Bonds also put in a workman-like performance for the quarter, staying ahead of inflation (and the Dow) for a second quarter in a row. Treasury bond yields fell roughly 20 basis points at the long end of the yield curve during Q2, while short rates inched up, resulting in further flattening in the yield curve. U.S. economic growth has rebounded from the dismal first-quarter result, but there is not yet a strong basis for expecting sustainable 3% growth rather than the 2% growth averaged since the economic expansion began five years ago this summer. For the first half of 2014, the S&P 50 total return was 7.1%.
As the third quarter begins, the major stock market averages are trading at all-time highs. With its 5.2% second-quarter return in the books, the S&P 500 has now gone two years since its last price correction of 10% and 2½ years since the last 20% correction. In total, the bull market rally in stocks since March 2009 has powered the S&P 500 to a 190% price rise (Dow, 157%; NASDAQ, 248%), even as stock market volatility, as reflected in the price of S&P 500 index options, has receded to the lowest levels since 2007. These low readings on the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) “fear gauge,” prompted Fed Chairman Janet Yellen to express concern about declining volatility (i.e., growing complacency) at her mid-June press conference. Developed stock markets outside the U.S. failed to perform as well as U.S. stocks once again in the second quarter, but emerging markets did – for only the second time in the past six quarters.
Bonds performed well again in the second quarter, aided by lower rates and declining spreads against Treasuries. Long-term U.S. Treasury bond yields fell about 20 basis points in the quarter, due partly to disappointing economic trends and partly to risk-adverse trading precipitated by geopolitical drama in Iraq and Ukraine. Credit spreads narrowed again in the second quarter; high-yield bonds and the sovereign debt of the nations of Europe had strong showings. The yield-to-worst on the Barclays corporate high-yield composite fell to 4.9% from 5.2% during the second quarter. The Federal Reserve reduced its bond buying rate at its two second-quarter policy meetings, remaining on course to end quantitative easing (QE) by the fourth quarter of 2014. We believe that the Fed will keep short-term interest rates low through mid-2015 and possibly longer if the expected ramp-up in economic growth fails to materialize. The Barclays U.S. bond market aggregate total return was 3.9% for the first half of 2014.
Rising stock prices and the ongoing narrowing in credit spreads fly in the face of concerns that the economies of the U.S., Japan, China and Europe may continue to disappoint. The U.S.’s dismal Q1 GDP growth (+0.1% in the advance estimate, -1.0% in the preliminary estimate and -2.9% in the final estimate) caused a cascade of estimate revisions for 2014. To some degree, soft consumer spending in April and May calls into question the Fed’s forecasts of 3%-ish growth for 2015-16. June’s record level of auto sales and healthy rate of job creation suggest, however, that momentum is building for a stronger second half.
From a low of 1.1% in the year to this past February, the U.S. inflation rate nearly doubled by the middle of the year. The 12-month change in the consumer price index was 2.1% in May, and the core inflation rate hit 2.0% for the first time in over a year. Wage rates have firmed, and with productivity declining, unit labor costs may soon be at worrisome levels. The Fed has been attempting to boost inflation to the 2% level or even, temporarily, higher. Now that the CPI is at those levels, investors may start paying more attention to rising prices and anticipating Fed rate hikes. Higher inflation is not now a global issue, except in that Japan has for the
moment succeeded in breaking the hold of its terrible deflation pressures. In Europe, June’s easing by the ECB was as much about reversing deflation trends as about boosting economic growth.
At midyear 2014, the S&P 500 was priced at 18 times trailing 12 month earnings, high by historical standards, but a far cry from peak P/E’s near 25 at the market top of 2000. Unlike 2007, when stock prices looked reasonable but subprime mortgages were about to crater, we believe that today’s business climate is on an improving trend. On a forward basis, the stock market P/E multiple is in the 16-17 range, a fair approximation of stock value at a time of limited competition from fixed-income securities. Some stock valuation measures suggest that share prices may have gotten ahead of fundamentals. But fundamentals are looking better, and some of the more extreme market valuations have begun to correct. Such internal market dynamics may be enough to avert a broader sell-off and extend the bull market through this, its sixth year. A focus on quality securities with good dividend support offers a prudent risk/reward profile at this juncture.
The strong June employment report released on July 3 was a welcome sign that the second-quarter economy will be as good as the first quarter’s was bad. We are a bit skeptical that U.S. GDP growth will reach and sustain the 3% rate that the Federal Reserve projects for 2015. Nonetheless, we expect a better business backdrop ahead, one that should improve the odds of increasing corporate earnings and higher stock prices in the second half of 2014. Bonds have put in two better-than-expected quarters in a row, but we doubt that the second half will produce equally good returns, as gradually rising interest rates are expected. The lower volatility that bonds, particularly those with shorter-than-market duration, bring to a portfolio warrants their playing an important role in balanced portfolios. If you have any questions on Wright’s views on these matters or on other investment or wealth management issues, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Donavan
Chairman & CEO
Example:
As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other fund expenses. This example is 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2014 – June 30, 2014).
Actual Expenses:
The first line of the tables shown on the following page 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 entitled “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 the tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. 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 your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second line of the tables 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund (“WSBC”), Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund (“WMBC”), and Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund (“WIBC”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) (the Funds constituting Wright Managed Equity Trust (the “Trust”)), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Funds seek to provide total return consisting of price appreciation and current income.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
A. Investment Valuations – Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days, they will be valued by a third party pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges are monitored by the investment adviser and may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Funds in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B. Investment Transactions – Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C. Income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount.
D. Federal Taxes – Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable income and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Foreign taxes are provided for based on WIBC’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. At December 31,
The Wright Managed Equity Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
WMBC and WIBC, for federal income tax purposes, have capital loss carryforwards of $3,708,193 and $51,755,977, respectively, which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:
December 31, | WMBC | WIBC |
2016 | $ - | $17,058,561 |
2017 | 3,708,193 | 34,697,416 |
As of June 30, 2014, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E. Expenses – The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds.
F. Redemption Fees – A shareholder who redeems or exchanges shares of WIBC within three months of purchase will incur a redemption fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of shares redeemed, subject to certain limitations. The fee is charged for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and will be paid to WIBC to help offset transaction costs. The fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The Fund reserves the right to modify the terms of or terminate the fee at any time. There are limited exceptions to the imposition of the redemption fee.
G. Foreign Currency Translation – Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
H. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I. Indemnifications – Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
J. Interim Financial Statements – The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2014, and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of Funds’ management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
The Wright Managed Equity Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
2. Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Trust to make annual distributions of all or substantially all of the net investment income of the Funds and to distribute annually all or substantially all of the net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) of the Funds. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. GAAP requires that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | WSBC | | | | WMBC | | | | WIBC | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 738,264 | | | $ | 4,605 | | | $ | 24,352 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 1,758,196 | | | | - | | | | - | |
Capital loss carryforward and post October losses | | | - | | | | (3,708,193 | ) | | | (51,755,977 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 12,447,273 | | | | 3,064,043 | | | | 8,050,871 | |
Total | | $ | 14,943,733 | | | $ | (639,545 | ) | | $ | (43,680,754 | ) |
The difference between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and passive foreign investment company transactions.
3. Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Wright Investor Services, Inc. (“Wright”) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Funds. The fees are computed at annual rates of the Funds' average daily net assets as noted below, and are payable monthly.
Annual Advisory Fee Rates |
Fund | Under $100 Million | $100 Million to $250 Million | $250 Million to $500 Million | $500 Million to $1 Billion | Over $1 Billion |
WSBC | 0.60% | 0.57% | 0.54% | 0.50% | 0.45% |
WMBC | 0.60% | 0.57% | 0.54% | 0.50% | 0.45% |
WIBC | 0.80% | 0.78% | 0.76% | 0.72% | 0.67% |
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the fee and the effective annual rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets for each of the Funds were as follows:
Fund | Investment Adviser Fee | Effective Annual Rate |
WSBC | $119,144 | 0.60% |
WMBC | $ 52,658 | 0.60% |
WIBC | $129,718 | 0.80% |
The administrator fee is earned by Wright for administering the business affairs of each Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.17% of WIBC’s average daily net assets up to $100 million and 0.07% of average daily net assets over $100 million. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of WSBC’s and WMBC’s average daily net assets up to $100 million and 0.07% of average daily net assets over $100 million. Atlantic Fund Administration, LLC (d/b/a Atlantic Fund Services) (“Atlantic”) serves as sub-administrator of the
The Wright Managed Equity Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
Funds to perform certain services of the administrator as may be agreed upon between the administrator and sub-administrator. The sub-administration fee is paid by Wright.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the administrator fee for WSBC, WMBC and WIBC amounted to $23,829, $10,532 and $27,565, respectively.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are Trustees or officers of the above organizations and/or of the Funds’ principal underwriter. Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not employees of Atlantic or Wright, Trustees and officers receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of the fees paid to Atlantic and Wright. The Trustees are compensated by the Trust in conjunction with the Wright Managed Income Trust, rather than on a per Trust or per Fund basis. Quarterly retainer fees are paid in the amount of $4,000 to the Lead Trustee, $3,500 to the Secretary of Independent Trustees, and $3,000 each to the remaining Trustees. In addition, each Trustee will be paid a fee of $1,500 for each regular Board meeting attended. Each Trustee is also reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his duties as a Trustee, including travel and related expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. The amount of Trustees’ fees attributable to each Fund is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
4. Distribution and Service Plans
The Trust has in effect a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that each Fund will pay Wright Investors’ Service Distributors, Inc. (“WISDI”), the principal underwriter, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Winthrop Corporation and an affiliate of Wright, a distribution fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund for distribution services and facilities provided to the Funds by WISDI. Distribution fees paid or accrued to WISDI for the period ended June 30, 2014, for WSBC, WMBC and WIBC were $49,643, $21,941 and $40,537, respectively. In addition, the Trustees have adopted a service plan (the “Service Plan”) which allows the Funds to reimburse the principal underwriter for payments to intermediaries for providing account administration and personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The combined amount of service fees payable under the Service Plan and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees may not exceed 0.25% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not accrue or pay any service fees.
Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, Wright and WISDI have agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses exceed 1.40% of the average daily net assets of each of WSBC and WMBC and 1.85% of the average daily net assets of WIBC through April 30, 2015 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business). Thereafter, the waiver and reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement, Wright waived and/or reimbursed investment adviser fees and expenses of $16,674 for WMBC. WISDI waived distribution fees of $4,490, $21,941 and $26,542 for WSBC, WMBC and WIBC, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 |
| WSBC | WMBC | WIBC |
Aggregate cost | $ | 29,700,899 | | $ | 15,387,295 | | $ | 24,740,701 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 11,908,811 | | $ | 3,340,811 | | $ | 8,869,967 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | (370,602 | ) | | (54,810 | ) | | (172,814 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 11,538,209 | | $ | 3,286,001 | | $ | 8,697,153 | |
The Wright Managed Equity Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
8. Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with Union Bank of California, N.A. (“Union Bank”). The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the LIBOR rate. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to each Fund, they may be unable to borrow some or all of the Funds’ requested amounts at any particular time. At June 30, 2014, WMBC had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $130,241 at an interest rate of 1.16%.
The average borrowings and average interest rate (based on days with outstanding balances) for the period ended June 30, 2014, were as follows:
| WSBC | WMBC | WIBC |
Average borrowings | $114,835 | $99,928 | $196,695 |
Average interest rate | 1.15% | 1.16% | 1.15% |
9. Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Funds, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
10. Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At June 30, 2014, the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

The Wright Managed Income Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Wright Total Return Bond Fund (“WTRB”) and Wright Current Income Fund (“WCIF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) (the Funds constituting Wright Managed Income Trust (the “Trust”)), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. WTRB seeks a superior rate of total return, consisting of a high level of income plus price appreciation. WCIF seeks a high level of current income consistent with moderate fluctuations of principal.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
A. Investment Valuations – Debt obligations, including listed securities and securities for which quotations are readily available, will normally be valued on the basis of reported trades or market quotations provided by third party pricing services, when these prices are representative of the securities’ market values. For debt securities where market quotations are not readily available, the pricing services will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days, they will be valued by a pricing service as described above. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Funds in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B. Investment Transactions – Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C. Income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount.
Paydown gains and losses are included in interest income.
D. Federal Taxes – Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At December 31, 2013, WTRB and WCIF, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards subject to expiration of $1,438,598 and $2,990,870, respectively, which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:
The Wright Managed Income Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
December 31, | WTRB | WCIF |
2014 | $940,468 | $ - |
2015 | 199,047 | 160,341 |
2017 | 299,083 | - |
As a result of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, net capital losses realized on or after January 1, 2011 (effective date) may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains; however, post-effective losses must be used before pre-effective capital loss carryforwards with expiration dates. Therefore, it is possible that all or a portion of a fund’s pre-effective capital loss carryforwards could expire unused. In addition to the amounts noted in the table above, WCIF has $1,610,948 available short term capital loss carryforwards and $1,219,581 available long term capital loss carryforwards that have no expiration date.
As of June 30, 2014, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2013, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E. Expenses – The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds.
F. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Indemnifications – Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.
H. Interim Financial Statements – The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2014, and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of Funds’ management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2. Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily, and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared daily as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. GAAP requires that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
The Wright Managed Income Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
As of December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | WTRB | | | | WCIF | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | - | | | $ | 288 | |
Capital loss carryforward and post October losses | | | (1,456,233 | ) | | | (3,124,253 | ) |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 486,191 | | | | 334,700 | |
Total | | $ | (970,042 | ) | | $ | (2,789,265 | ) |
The difference between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, premium amortization and paydown gain (loss).
For tax purposes, the current year post-October loss was $17,635 and $133,383 (realized during the period November 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013) for WTRB and WCIF, respectively. These losses will be recognized for tax purposes on the first business day of each Fund’s next fiscal year, January 1, 2014.
3. Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Wright Investor Services, Inc. (“Wright”) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Funds. The fees are computed at annual rates of the Funds' average daily net assets as noted below, and are payable monthly.
Annual Advisory Fee Rates |
Fund | Under $100 Million | $100 Million to $250 Million | $250 Million to $500 Million | $500 Million to $1 Billion | Over $1 Billion |
WTRB | 0.45% | 0.44% | 0.42% | 0.40% | 0.35% |
WCIF | 0.45% | 0.44% | 0.42% | 0.40% | 0.35% |
For the year ended June 30, 2014, the fee and the effective annual rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets for each of the Funds were as follows:
Fund | Investment Adviser Fee | Effective Annual Rate |
WTRB | $ 29,919 | 0.45% |
WCIF | $130,348 | 0.45% |
The administrator fee is earned by Wright for administering the business affairs of each Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.07% of the average daily net assets up to $100 million for WTRB and an annual rate of 0.09% of the average daily net assets up to $100 million for WCIF, and 0.05% of average daily net assets over $100 million. Atlantic Fund Administration, LLC (d/b/a Atlantic Fund Services) (“Atlantic”) serves as sub-administrator of the Funds to perform certain services of the administrator as may be agreed upon between the administrator and sub-administrator. The sub-administration fee is paid by Wright.
For the period ended June 30, 2014, the administrator fee for WTRB and WCIF amounted to $4,654 and $26,070, respectively.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are Trustees or officers of the above organizations and/or of the Funds’ principal underwriter. Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not employees of Atlantic or Wright, Trustees and officers receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of the fees paid to Atlantic and Wright. The Trustees are compensated by the Trust in conjunction with the Wright Managed Equity Trust, rather than on a per Trust or per Fund basis. Quarterly retainer fees are paid in the amount of $4,000 to the Lead Trustee, $3,500 to the Secretary of Independent Trustees, and $3,000 each to the remaining Trustees. In addition, each Trustee will be paid a fee of $1,500 for each regular Board meeting attended. Each Trustee
The Wright Managed Income Trust Notes to Financial Statements |
is also reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his duties as a Trustee, including travel and related expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. The amount of Trustees’ fees attributable to each Fund is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
4. Distribution and Service Plans
The Trust has in effect a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that each Fund will pay Wright Investors’ Service Distributors, Inc. (“WISDI”), the principal underwriter, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Winthrop Corporation and an affiliate of Wright, a distribution fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund for distribution services and facilities provided to the Funds by WISDI. Distribution fees paid or accrued to WISDI for the period ended June 30, 2014, for WTRB and WCIF were $16,621 and $72,415, respectively. In addition, the Trustees have adopted a service plan (the “Service Plan”) which allows the Funds to reimburse the principal underwriter for payments to intermediaries for providing account administration and personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The combined amount of service fees payable under the Service Plan and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees may not exceed 0.25% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not accrue or pay any service fees.
Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, Wright and WISDI have agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses exceed 0.95% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of WTRB and WCIF, respectively, through April 30, 2015 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business). Thereafter, the waiver and reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. In addition, Wright and WISDI have voluntarily agreed to further limit the total annual expenses of WCIF to 0.90% of its average daily net assets. Such voluntary limitation may be terminated at any time. Pursuant to these agreements and voluntary limitation, Wright waived and/or reimbursed investment adviser fees of $58,597 and $18,903 for WTRB and WCIF, respectively. WISDI waived distribution fees of $16,621 and $72,415 for WTRB and WCIF, respectively.

8. Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with Union Bank of California, N.A. (“Union Bank”). The Funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the LIBOR rate. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to each Fund, they may be unable to borrow some or all of the Funds’ requested amounts at any particular time. At June 30, 2014, the Funds had no outstanding balances pursuant to this line of credit.
The average borrowings and average interest rate (based on days with outstanding balances) for the period ended June 30, 2014, were as follows:
| WTRB |
Average borrowings | $143,015 |
Average interest rate | 1.15% |

9. Fair Value Measurements
Under GAAP for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At June 30, 2014, the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
WTRB
Asset Description | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Commerical Mortgage-Backed Securities | $ | - | $ | 960,152 | $ | - | $ | 960,152 |

Board of Trustees Annual Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement |
In evaluating the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Independent Trustees met separately from the Interested Trustees and reviewed and considered materials furnished by Wright, including information regarding Wright, its affiliates and personnel, operations and financial condition. The Independent Trustees discussed with representatives of Wright the portfolio management and operations of the funds and the capabilities of Wright to provide advisory and other services to each fund. The Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
1. Performance and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the quality of services provided by Wright as well as Wright’s oversight of vendors. The Trustees also considered the resources devoted to Wright’s compliance efforts and their record of compliance. The Trustees concluded that the services being provided by Wright are as agreed to in the Advisory Contracts and that the quality of service is good.
The Trustees relied on market comparisons and Morningstar data to assess the performance of each Fund over one, three, five and ten year periods. The Trustees noted that as of December 31, 2013: (i) the Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund (“WSBC”) outperformed its benchmark and peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; (ii) the Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund (“WMBC”) outperformed its benchmark and peer group for the one-year period, but underperformed its benchmark and peer group for the three- and five-year periods, (iii) the Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund (“WIBC”) outperformed its peer group for the one-year period, but underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and its peer group for the three- and five-year periods; (iv) the Wright Total Return Bond Fund (“WTRB”) outperformed its benchmark for the five-year period, but underperformed its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods and its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods; and (v) the Wright Current Income Fund (“WCIF”) outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period and its peer group for the one-, three- and five- year periods, but underperformed its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods.
2. Fees and expense ratios. The Trustees noted that the Funds’ expense ratios exceed those of some of their peers, but are reasonably similar and that the expense ratios for WSBC was lower than the median for their respective peer groups. The Trustees noted that the Funds’ expense ratios remain generally unchanged from the prior year, although they specifically noted that WIBC’s expense ratio had increased. They also considered the contractual expense limitations in place for each Fund. The Trustees concluded that, based upon the information provided by Wright, the compensation paid by the Funds to Wright is in the average range of compensation charged by other advisers for similar services and appear fair, and also that the Funds’ expenses do not appear excessive.
3. Relationship of fees and performance. The Trustees observed that performance in 2013 exceeded the Funds’ respective benchmarks, with the exception of WIBC which underperformed its benchmark. They also noted, that performance in 2013 for the Funds exceeded that of their respective peer groups, with the exception of WTRB which underperformed. The Trustees assessed each Fund’s fee structure against those of its peer group, as well as in comparison to the fee structure for private accounts. The Trustees concluded that, based on the overall short-term and long-term performance of the Funds, the fee structure appears to be fair and reasonable.
4. Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Trustees assessed the level of profitability to Wright as adviser to each Fund and concluded that such was reasonable and not excessive. The Trustees also considered Wright’s financial condition, and noted that continuing subsidies by Wright to the majority of the Funds limited the overall profitability of those Funds to Wright. The Trustees observed that the Funds have breakpoints which appear to be typical and serve to limit concerns over economies of scale. The Trustees concluded that economies of scale are not a major concern at the Funds’ current asset levels.

Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Shareholders Documents
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Wright, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Wright, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Wright documents not be householded, please contact Wright at (800) 555-0644, or your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Wright documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Wright or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings
In accordance with rules established by the SEC, the Funds send semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders that contain a complete list of portfolio holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters, respectively, within 60 days of quarter-end and after filing with the SEC. The Funds also disclose complete portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q, which is filed with the SEC within 60 days of quarter-end.
