LETTERTO SHAREHOLDERS — “EVEN MORE CAUTIOUS AFTERA SHARP RALLY” | ||
| ||
|
Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA President of | DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
ECONOMY
After the fourth quarter of 2011 produced a double-digit gain for the S&P 500, I recalled the uncertainty of 2011 and suggested “a stock picker’s market” lay ahead of us in 2012. With the first quarter of 2012 again delivering a double-digit gain (S&P 500 up 12.6%), I am the first to admit that, so far, 2012 has not been a stock picker’s market. With the general market showing such exuberance over the past six months, I am reminded that a rising tide will lift even the most flimsy boats, and I continue to approach current market conditions with caution. Stock market performance has reflected the strong underlying economic data reported during recent months. Further, troubling news regarding Greece has faded from the front pages, leaving investors more free to respond to largely favorable developments in the business climate. Central banks around the world (with the exception of China) continue to signal that they will keep the liquidity environment favorable to markets. However, this doesn’t mean the global economy is out of the woods yet. I believe Eurozone policies attempting to balance |
growth with austerity will be difficult to implement and will restrain the region’s growth for some time to come.
One potential fly in the ointment for the U.S. is rising rates reflective of a stronger economy and inflation fears. While the recent steeper yield curve (which means longer term interest rates have been rising) could mean the flywheel of economic progress is finally moving on its own accord, it could also mean monetary policies have been so stimulative for so long that bond investors are waking from their long slumber and perhaps starting to be concerned about future inflation.
If the economy is genuinely gaining strength, I believe having the bond market gently tap the brakes with slightly higher interest rates is not all bad. Otherwise, we are left to rely on assurance from the Federal Reserve (Fed) that it will tap on the brakes “when the time is right.” Given the Fed’s past inability to read the economy correctly, it is difficult to give too much credibility to its request to “trust us.”
The one thing we know for sure is the trends of past years (excessive spending by U.S. and Southern European consumers) will not continue as lenders are no longer willing or able to provide unbridled credit. Either, the market must expand at a more subdued pace or some new driver must emerge to propel the economy at the more rapid pace to which we’ve become accustomed.
MARKETS
So where are we now? I believe we continue to witness a slow recovery around the world. The U.S. stock market’s recent rise affirms my cautious, bullish stance. I am an even more cautious bull than last quarter solely because strong stock price performance has rendered the valuations of companies less attractive. Companies’ revenue growth has been anemic over the past three years and many companies have wrung out their earnings growth as a result of cost cutting. I don’t mean to ignore those firms that have been able to record stellar top-line growth, in many cases driven by innovation and global expansion. As overall valuations get richer, Wasatch’s style of careful stock picking will become even more important.
The macro environment continues to present a set of potential outcomes that is unusually diverse. The base case is long-term subdued growth in the U.S. as it recovers from the long work-out of the global financial crisis and its effect on banks, housing, and consumer balance sheets. But there is also a more optimistic case that the world economy, and that of the U.S., can be driven higher by favorable global demand factors. BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries have recently added over two billion people to the global capitalist/consumer system. Emerging and frontier markets have large populations that will become part of a growing middle class of consumers over time. The pessimistic outcome is that, like Japan over the past decade, we struggle to generate growth — a poor environment for stock market gains.
With respect to the markets, I leave you with my “leaning against the wind” advice of past letters. Just as last Fall I suggested leaning against the excessive pessimism of recent years, I also think that leaning a little against the optimism implied by the 25% short-term advance of the S&P 500 is probably a good idea. The cautious part of the bull in me says it may be wise to save a little powder for investing in pullbacks from this recent run-up.
WASATCH
I’ve stated our belief that emerging markets and developing economies will have higher gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates than those we’ll see in more developed countries. As urbanization accelerates in these emerging market countries, domestic demand-oriented companies could benefit from a growing middle class. This scenario presents a classic opportunity for Wasatch’s bottom-up, fundamental, company-focused style of investing.
We believe finding companies with the characteristics we like best here at Wasatch, such as strong balance sheets and/or good cash flow generation, high return on equity (ROE), and durable and predictable earnings growth, requires boots-on-the-ground research. This is exactly what our experienced international team is busy doing as they visit smaller emerging countries and frontier markets. Laura Geritz, manager of our newest Fund, the Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, and senior analyst Andrey Kutuzov, just returned from a seven-country visit to South and Southeast Asia where they met with companies’ management teams in places like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. There are thousands of uncovered, small- and mid-cap

WASATCH CORE GROWTH FUND (WGROX / WIGRX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Core Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor and Paul Lambert.
JB Taylor Portfolio Manager |
Paul Lambert Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Core Growth Fund — Investor Class gained 11.01% in the first quarter trailing the Russell 2000 Index, which rose 12.44%. A small improvement in the unemployment |
rate and a pickup in economic growth drove optimism higher, resulting in a market environment where riskier assets outperformed. In this type of market, it is not uncommon for the Fund to post a strong gain but slightly underperform the Index, as our steady, consistent growers are briefly outpaced by the surging stock prices of what we believe are lower-quality companies. Still, this quarter’s performance added to the favorable absolute return earned over the last 12 months wherein the Fund exceeded the Index’s return by a large margin.
Within the small cap universe, we observed that companies with the most speculative business models and those with little or no earnings were some of the strongest performers. They included biotechnology companies, homebuilders and low-growth restaurant chains. Given our preference for high-quality companies with consistent earnings streams, we were underinvested in these areas of the market.
The other trend we saw was that many of the best performers in the first quarter were stocks that underperformed in 2011. Conversely, some of last year’s strongest performers failed to keep up in the first quarter. This is also consistent with a more optimistic, liquidity-driven market in which riskier stocks are rewarded. To further illustrate, our top 10 holdings at the start of the quarter were up 15.5% in 2011 compared to a 4.2% loss for the Russell 2000 Index. Year-to-date, they are “only” up 6.0% and trailing the Index for the three-month period. This is a trade-off we will take every time, as the long-run power of compounding is greatly enhanced if losses can be mitigated in down markets.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Two of our best-performing stocks this quarter were InnerWorkings, Inc. and Alliance Data Systems Corp. InnerWorkings announced great quarterly operating results, capping a year of record revenue, profitability and operating cash flow. The company provides print management services and is capitalizing on excess capacity in the commercial printing industry. Advancements in technology have increased the productivity of commercial printers. However, demand has not kept pace with the productivity gains, resulting in idle capacity. InnerWorkings has built a sophisticated database that tracks printing capacity around the world and leverages that market intelligence to find the most cost-effective solutions for its global customers.
Alliance Data Systems is one of our large positions that outperformed in the quarter after outperforming last year. The company operates the dominant loyalty rewards program in Canada, where shoppers earn points that can be redeemed for various products and services. Alliance also provides private-label credit card services to retailers like J. Crew and Pottery Barn. With a consulting business as well, Alliance is benefiting from the demand for more intelligent, targeted marketing campaigns by helping create, manage and interpret valuable transaction data.
Polypore International, Inc. was one of the few names in the Fund that declined this quarter. The company makes filtration membranes used in lead-acid and lithium batteries. The stock fell sharply on news that a large customer will be investing in its own membrane technology. We believe the sell-off was overdone. First, the customer is looking to replace membranes in applications where Polypore is not a supplier; Polypore is not being displaced. Furthermore, our research suggests that the company’s competitive position in the lithium battery market is unchanged. As the demand for more fuel-efficient electric hybrid automobiles continues to grow, we think Polypore should continue to see success selling its high-margin, high-technology membranes.
Higher One Holdings, Inc. also posted a negative return. The company provides colleges and universities with cost-saving technology that automates financial aid disbursement. Funds are disbursed to students on debit cards that generate transaction fees for the company. The stock fell when management lowered revenue guidance for 2012, citing a slowdown in enrollment among customers. We are not overly concerned by the slowdown and continue to like the company’s prospects. Higher One is the leading player in a relatively unpenetrated market and its business is highly scalable.
OUTLOOK
If the low-quality, high-beta rally continues, we expect the Fund to have the potential for strong gains but lag the benchmark. While the market’s optimistic mood may continue, we have not seen anything to change our view that the United States still faces a prolonged period of slower economic growth. High unemployment and the high cost of government programs and entitlements should all weigh on growth rates.
For this reason, we continue to like owning a portfolio of what we believe to be high-quality companies that can deliver solid organic growth regardless of macroeconomic conditions. Our companies appear to be growing their earnings faster than the market and their valuations seem reasonable relative to their growth prospects. On average, they generate a much higher level of cash with their deployed assets than the average small cap company. In our opinion, owning stocks with these characteristics is a good strategy for any market environment.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Performance for the Institutional Class prior to 1/31/2012 is based on the performance of the Investor Class. Performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class prior to 1/31/2012 uses the actual expenses of the Fund’s Investor Class without any adjustments. For any such period of time, the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class would have been substantially similar to, yet higher than, the performance of the Fund’s Investor Class, because the shares of both classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes bear different expenses.
Investing in small cap funds will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large cap or more diversified funds.

WASATCH EMERGING INDIA FUND (WAINX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Emerging India Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan and Roger Edgley.
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Roger D. Edgley, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Emerging India Fund returned |
-35.62%. Wasatch has always focused on investing in high quality companies and we believe that approach helps to mitigate the downside in falling markets. The flip side is that when the markets move up strongly and there is a junk/sentiment led rally in the market we tend to underperform.
The first quarter of 2012 saw a reversal in sentiment in the Indian market from last year. The MSCI India IMI rebounded 21.45% and the Fund gained 21.43% in the first three months of the year. On closer examination it is evident that there were two distinct phases in the market during the first quarter. Lower quality/higher beta stocks led in the first half of the quarter. We consider companies with low return on equity (ROE) to be lower quality than companies with high return on equity. In the first half of the quarter there was a strong correlation between low ROE and better than average return — companies in the lowest ROE deciles generally outperformed, while higher ROE companies lagged. In markets where high ROE companies lag, the Fund may tend to lag as well.
Therefore, we were not surprised that the Fund under-performed the Index during the first part of the period and then as the market moderated in the second part we made up ground.
So we’d say our biggest achievement this quarter was avoiding the investment professional’s curse — the inability to stand still and let investments run their course. We believed we had a good list of investments and saw no evidence that we needed to make any major changes, despite short-term underperformance.
Looking at the Fund’s performance by sector it was gratifying to see that we outperformed in most sectors in which we were overweight. Our largest sector weighting was in financials and we did underperform there. The benchmark was helped by the bounce in a number of infrastructure-focused finance companies. We have underinvested in the segment because a number of the businesses or projects that are being financed have long gestation periods and seem to have significant socio-political risk associated with them.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
As part of our ongoing due diligence on the companies in our investment universe Ajay and a couple of Wasatch analysts visited more than 50 companies in India over a span of
three weeks. We would like to remind shareholders of our process — it starts with a review of financial statements ® which leads us to companies ® we follow up with visits with management teams to help us understand the companies’ long term drivers and also use them as opportunities to verify the numbers ® investment decisions.
We met with the management teams of several companies that were held by the Fund and also a few that were new to us. We subsequently added a couple of new ideas from this visit. We’d like to mention two to give you a flavor of the kind of companies we are unearthing in India. One of the companies we invested in was TD Power Systems Ltd. TD Power Systems is a manufacturer of generators, with 70% share in the domestic market. India faces a severe shortage of reliable power and TD Power Systems sells products that help alleviate that situation. We believe the company is a technology leader as evidenced by its ability to sell products into advanced industrial countries like Japan and Germany. The company also licensed some patents to General Electric (GE) for the manufacture of generators in Brazil, which further underscores its technical prowess. TD Power’s market capitalization is under $200 million and the company has strong returns on capital and is able to internally fund its growth. We believe the opportunity is large in India with the company’s markets growing north of 20%. We think TD Power should be able to grow faster than the market given that it is gaining market share.
One other name we initiated a position in was TTK Prestige Ltd., a manufacturer of small kitchen appliances and cookware. In our opinion, this is another way to gain exposure to the consumption trends of the growing middle class in India. The company has grown revenues at a compound annual growth rate of 27% over the last five years and we think that pace can be sustained over the next several years. We believe TKK Prestige has excellent returns on capital and management came across as competent and enthusiastic about the company’s prospects. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
The other takeaway from our trip to India was that the mood on the ground was more positive than we expected given news headlines highlighting government inaction and policy paralysis.
OUTLOOK
The Indian market has a couple of the key ingredients that we see as necessary for sustainable economic growth — a growing working population and the opportunity to increase productivity through the application of technology. If these ingredients are supported by macro economic policies, which lead to a stable inflationary environment, they could encourage economic activity. As we have mentioned in past letters, we are more interested in investing in companies that are beneficiaries of domestic consumption within a country and we have weighted the Fund toward this theme.
Even with the sharp move this quarter, we believe the Fund is still fairly valued. We think we have a good mix of growth companies with strong fundamental momentum and some good, attractively valued companies.
Thank you for the opportunity to invest your assets.

Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, entails special risks, such as unstable currencies, highly volatile securities markets and political and social instability, which are described in more detail in the prospectus. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it can invest a larger portion of its assets in the stocks of a limited number of companies than a diversified fund. Non-diversification increases the risk of loss to the Fund if the values of these securities decline.

WASATCH EMERGING MARKETS SMALL CAP FUND (WAEMX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Roger Edgley and Laura Geritz.
Roger D. Edgley, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Laura Geritz, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund gained 19.00% for the first quarter of 2012. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, gained 16.63%, and the |
MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 14.08%.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
When we examine what worked in the quarter, we see broad contribution from stocks in the portfolio. The best contributors ranged from apparel retailers like Cia. Hering in Brazil to Security Bank Corp. in the Philippines to Afren plc, an energy producer with fields in West Africa.
If we look at performance by country, India made the largest contribution after being a significant detractor last year. Our names in India were up nearly 28% in the quarter, slightly lagging the benchmark. However, our overweight position in India helped the overall return as India was up so strongly relative to other countries. Other leading contributors for the quarter included Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Africa. It is notable that sectors like financials, came back strongly in the quarter after a difficult 2011. Taiwan is a market where we have added some new names we are excited about. However, in the first quarter we underperformed the benchmark in Taiwan. Technology dominates the Taiwan market so it is geared more to global growth than to domestic growth. Expectations in the first quarter led technology higher. We tend to have a lower weight than the Index in Taiwan given the large number of cyclical companies that we see as having less long-term visibility in their competitive advantages than other companies in which we invest.
Where are we finding new opportunities? What new names did we add in the quarter that illustrate our investment process? We believe one of the great attributes of the emerging markets small cap asset class is the diversity and range of the opportunity set. We have over 20 countries in the universe where we see growth pretty much across all sectors. In some countries we may get excited about small banks within the financials sector, as with India or Peru. In others, like China, the opportunities are simply not there as large banks dominate the sector.
To highlight a name we feel illustrates our process: in the quarter we added a new position in Taiwan’s second largest convenience store operator. Taiwan FamilyMart Co. Ltd. has 3,000 stores in Taiwan, and some presence in China. In Asia, convenience store chains have been in a strong position to
capture growth in income from the growing middle class, increased urbanization, the need for convenient fresh foods as well as other conveniences such as ATM machines and pre-paid phone cards. We expect Taiwan FamilyMart’s growth to come from increasing the number of stores in Taiwan (the company plans to add 200 this year), increasing the size of the stores over time, and selling some higher margin items like fresh foods. The company also owns 19% of the chain’s business in China, which at present is loss producing but with great potential. The overall financial model represents one of the great strengths of the business. Rather than being seen as just a store, it could be called a logistics business. The supply process to convenience stores is intense with many supplier deliveries a day. It is a business with a 2% operating margin, so inventory turn is critical. Taiwan FamilyMart manages with a “negative cash conversion cycle” of minus 28 days. This means customers pay the company well before it has to pay suppliers and so suppliers largely help to finance the business.
The cash flow attributes that Taiwan FamilyMart possesses mean it can self-finance growth. The company pays out 80% of its earnings in dividends. Over the last five years, the actual cash flow generated is some two and a half times the net earnings declared. With all the businesses we invest in across emerging markets we look for companies with strong cash flows as we see this as a key measure of financial quality as well as indicating future capability to invest and grow.
Some other names we added to the Fund in the quarter were Cleanaway Co. Ltd., a hazardous waste disposal company in Taiwan, Trinity Ltd., apparel stores in China, and Discovery Holdings Ltd., a health care insurance provider in South Africa. Overall, we continue to identify what we see as attractive businesses across emerging markets — this helped by a 2011 that saw these markets decline. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
We are constructive about 2012 after a major correction in many emerging markets during 2011. We thank our shareholders for their support in the last year.

WASATCH FRONTIER EMERGING SMALL COUNTRIES FUND (WAFMX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Laura Geritz.
Laura Geritz, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund was launched January 31, 2012 during a strong period for stocks. The Fund lagged its benchmark, the MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Index, since inception through March 31, 2012 as we invested the cash carefully. Anticipating what is becoming the typical second quarter market pullback, we intentionally reserved some cash hoping to see stock price |
dips in our best ideas. Early in the second quarter we saw this pattern of retrenchment start to rear its head and have started to deploy some cash.
DETAILSOFTHE PERIOD
In this first write-up I’m going to focus on the thesis for launching this new Fund, our process, and why we think this asset class is well suited for Wasatch’s approach to investing.
This product has been in the works for several years. From a macro perspective, our belief is that the investment potential has moved on from large emerging markets such as Korea and Taiwan, and Brazil, Russia, India and China (collectively known as the BRICs), to smaller emerging countries including Peru, Colombia, Egypt, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and the Czech Republic, and to frontier countries such as Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, to name a few. The universe has a large population. Today, frontier countries account for 21.6% of the world’s population.* This isn’t to say that investment returns won’t be strong in the large emerging countries. It is simply to point to a subset of the emerging world that is as yet undiscovered by many investors (and hence may offer better long term returns), where there is limited analyst coverage and less liquidity than in more developed emerging markets, and yet includes countries with large populations, favorable demographics and a growing middle class. Many of these countries have gross domestic product (GDP) per capita that is lower than traditional emerging markets but is growing at a fast rate. The universe of frontier markets also includes oil-rich Middle Eastern countries relegated to frontier status for liquidity and access reasons. As such, you don’t see the urbanization and upward mobility that you see in what I deem true frontier countries. This isn’t the opportunity set we typically seek unless valuations and quality warrant a second look. We typically seek investment opportunities in countries with upwardly mobile populations and domestic demand driven growth. We believe countries in both the frontier and smaller emerging markets offer these attributes.
Domestic economic opportunities may be one of the prime reasons the frontier emerging small countries asset class also offers low correlation with other markets and may
enhance portfolio diversification for investors. The asset class is often touted as having low volatility as well. We saw this in our paper performance for the Fund prior to its launch. When the market was correcting in the third quarter of last year, this asset class held up remarkably well. Valuations in frontier countries tend to be lower and the dividend yields quite high, arguably offering some cushion in down markets.
Additionally, a key attribute that makes this set of frontier and emerging small countries interesting for us is the low coverage in the universe of companies we are researching — close to 20% of the Fund’s holdings have no analyst coverage. This is an active manager’s dream asset class; one where you get to roll up your sleeves, travel to lesser known places, and meet management teams from which others often don’t get the pleasure to learn. It is a chance to uncover a “World’s Best Growth Company” for the first time.
We ventured to Ghana and Kenya and twice to Nigeria in the last year, and in the most recent quarter to Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Pakistan. As one of the rare investors willing to visit these countries on an investment trip, our hosts rolled out the red carpet for us. Media perceptions are often far different from the realities you experience on the ground, where you see workers, families, and consumers who aren’t all that different from us. As more investors venture into these countries, we hope that naïve images will dissipate, driving not only potentially high returns for investors, but also a better life for many of the people in these countries. We hope that knowledge begets success.
OUTLOOK
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund is intended for long-term investors with the patience to recognize the potential of these markets. We believe the quality of the companies we have found in these regions is outstanding, and management has been top notch. Growth appears to be abundant and valuations lower than what you see in emerging markets, especially when you incorporate very high dividend yields.
The strategy isn’t without risks and we believe individual countries will witness setbacks. This is why country diversification is extremely important as a risk management tool — diversification is not driven by sectors as you see in more global products. We attempt to protect investors from the risk of having one country go astray through broad country selection. This takes hard work — the Fund is one of our most difficult products for research as the travel is challenging and data must be scrubbed rigorously. We have bulked up the international team with these challenges in mind and hope that we are early to an asset class where we see great long-term potential.
Thanks for your investment!

WASATCH GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND (WAGOX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund is managed
by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor, Ajay Krishnan and Roger Edgley.
JB Taylor Portfolio Manager |
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Roger D. Edgley, CFA Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund gained 13.51% during the first quarter, and the MSCI AC World Small Cap Index rose 13.84%.
Stock markets around the world rallied sharply on optimism about the global economy. In the United States, gross domestic product (GDP) growth accelerated and the unemployment rate declined. Overseas, the European Central Bank pumped liquidity into the region’s banking system, and inflation expectations moderated in emerging countries.
Within the global small cap market, many of the best performers were stocks that were hit hardest when equities sold off in the last six months of 2011. These tended to be stocks of lower-quality companies or companies in riskier areas of the market. By contrast, many of what we see as higher-quality stocks that outperformed in the last six months of 2011 struggled to keep pace in the first quarter.
Given our focus on what we believe are high-quality companies, we are pleased that the Fund performed broadly in line with the benchmark this quarter. More importantly, the Fund has significantly outperformed since inception. We believe a key driver was that our quality-focused style helped to ease the downside during the volatile second half of 2011. The long-run power of compounding is greatly enhanced if losses can be mitigated in down markets.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
As the result of our bottom-up research, about 26% of the Fund is invested in emerging markets, compared to about 11% for the MSCI AC World Small Cap Index. This positively impacted performance in the quarter, since emerging markets posted stronger gains than developed markets. In addition, our emerging market stocks did better than their counterparts in the Index. Two of the Fund’s top performers were Yes Bank Ltd., an Indian financial services firm with strong earnings momentum, and Koza Altin Isletmeleri A.S., a Turkish gold mining company that is benefiting from high gold prices. In the short run, this piece of the portfolio can be volatile, because emerging markets are sensitive to swings in investor sentiment. But underneath the volatility, we see many businesses that we believe are high quality and which have the potential to become world-class companies.
In developed markets, top contributors included Gerry Weber International AG (Germany), Oxford Instruments plc (United Kingdom) and MonotaRO Co. Ltd. (Japan). Gerry Weber is an apparel company, and Oxford makes high-tech tools used in scientific and industrial applications. MonotaRO is an Internet-based distributor of maintenance, repair and operations products. All three are examples of companies that are experiencing fast growth despite operating in slower-growth economies. As bottom-up managers, we don’t begin with an objective to invest in specific countries. Instead, we look for the most interesting growth companies, wherever they may be located. This sometimes leads us to slower-growth economies that other managers avoid, but where valuations can be more attractive. In addition, many of the companies we find do business globally, which makes their country of domicile even less relevant. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
The domestic (U.S.) portion of the portfolio gained approximately 10% this quarter but was a drag on overall performance. Many of the benchmark’s best-performing U.S. small cap stocks were names we typically avoid — those with speculative business models and little or no earnings. For example, some of the strongest returns came from biotechnology companies, homebuilders, low-growth restaurant chains and retailers that were recently on the brink of bankruptcy. We prefer to invest in companies with consistent earnings streams. While these stocks rarely lead the market when optimism is high, they tend to hold their own and then continue to grow and outperform in less-robust markets.
During the quarter, we shortened the list of stocks in the Fund. We continue to prudently move to a more concentrated portfolio, consisting of what we believe are the very best ideas Wasatch has to offer around the world.
OUTLOOK
It seems many investors believe the global economy has regained its footing after the events of last year, which included a pause in the U.S. recovery, a downgrade in the U.S. government’s credit rating and a flare-up in the European debt crisis. We remain cautious, having seen little change in the fundamental underpinnings of the major developed economies. We are also concerned that earnings expectations around the globe could be too high. For the past several years, earnings growth has been enhanced with impressive increases in operating margins. Going forward, cost cutting will be more difficult and, if revenue growth stalls, earnings could disappoint.
Despite the uncertain backdrop, we feel confident about how the Fund is positioned. We believe the domestic portion of the portfolio is full of high-quality names with stable, consistent earnings. On the international side, our focus is on fast-growing companies that are benefiting from rising consumerism in countries like China and India. We think this is a compelling mix of stocks with the potential to produce strong returns over time.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH HERITAGE GROWTH FUND (WAHGX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Chris Bowen and Ryan Snow.
Chris Bowen Portfolio Manager |
Ryan Snow Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Stock prices continued their forward march during the first quarter with major market indices recapturing levels not seen since the early stages of the financial crisis nearly four years ago. |
While global economic challenges are still front-page fare, investor concern seems to have abated somewhat in recent months, perhaps owing more to “less bad” news rather than to the implementation of any real solutions. However, although far from being out of the woods, the U.S. economy in particular is presenting the appearance of a slow recovery. The improved outlook and the low yields of most other investable asset classes contributed to investors pushing stock prices higher.
The Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund delivered a healthy gain of 10.67% and underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which surged 14.52% during the first quarter of 2012.
Overall, we are pleased with the Fund’s positive absolute return during the quarter. As we frequently mention, we expect that the Fund will underperform somewhat during strong market environments due to what we see as the high quality nature of our holdings. As investors ratchet up the risk dial, they typically become less concerned about quality and long-term earnings stability, which can drive up the stock prices of companies with more speculative business prospects.
Despite the strong absolute return, the Fund was hurt in part by a couple of holdings in the energy sector with exposure to declining natural gas prices. Our patience in deploying a higher-than-normal cash position also caused a slight drag on performance relative to the Index. Rising stock prices have made it difficult to find new companies that meet our investment criteria as valuations have become less attractive. Thus, we will remain patient in working down the cash position until the market inevitably provides us with enticing opportunities like it did at the end of the third quarter in 2011.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
In our view, a core element that most distinguishes us from portfolio managers on Wall Street is that we conduct our own equity research — we are in the trenches actually performing the full spectrum of analytical work. The norm in the industry is for teams of internal or external analysts to feed investment ideas to the portfolio manager, who then selects stocks based, to a large extent, on the research of others.
Whether we are screening for prospective companies or continuing to dig deeper researching our existing holdings, we know of no better way than to be intimately involved in the
investment management process from beginning to end. The forward-looking financial models we build supply us with some answers, but primarily help us to ask the right questions.
For almost any company, there are only a couple of critical drivers that really make it tick. We believe that by accurately boiling our analysis down to these factors, we can focus on meaningful data and tune out the noise of non-significant elements. This enables us to build more realistic earnings models, which we believe leads to better investment decisions.
A good illustration is MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. MSC is competing in and consolidating the enormous industrial supply industry. A significant way management grows the business is simply by hiring more of the right kinds of knowledgeable sales people and then giving those people the tools to be more productive. So for our model, we focus on dual factors — the number of associates along with their revenue productivity. Based on the interpretation of this data, we feel like we can model a reasonable estimate of the company’s future growth and earnings.
Amphenol Corp., a long time holding in the Fund, was the top contributor during the quarter. The producer of electrical cables wasn’t buoyed by any significant news, other than management provided good forward looking guidance and the company continues to effectively integrate its many acquisitions, which is one of its key growth strategies.
Falling natural gas prices weighed on the stock prices of two holdings — Ultra Petroleum Corp. and CARBO Ceramics, Inc. New discoveries and a drop in usage due to warmer-than-usual winter weather have contributed to the current natural gas supply glut. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
Even though market volatility has recently been tempered, we would be surprised to see the trend continue. We feel that there are just too many tough decisions global policymakers need to make in order to keep the markets on an upward trajectory. As we did last fall, we stand ready to make selective purchases when opportunities arise.
The growth level of companies in the Fund continues to meet our expectations. While many companies over the past few years have had to slash expenses in order to increase earnings per share, for the most part, the Fund’s holdings have been able to increase earnings through organic growth and smart acquisitions. As many companies begin to run out of expenses to trim, we foresee that the strong capital positions of our portfolio companies will allow growth driven by fundamental business operations to continue.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND (WAIGX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch International Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Roger Edgley.
Roger D. Edgley, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch International Growth Fund had a return of 17.23% for the first quarter of 2012, and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which returned 14.29%. Clearly, sentiment improved across global markets. European markets were strong but we also saw strong returns across the emerging markets, some of which had corrected a lot in 2011. |
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
The major stock contributors in the first quarter ranged from Indian financials, including LIC Housing Finance Ltd., Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd. and Gruh Finance Ltd., to UK industrials, including Rotork plc and Oxford Instruments plc. The top performers were widely dispersed with 12 of the top 25 coming from emerging markets. In terms of countries, the largest contributors to performance relative to the benchmark were India, Turkey, Brazil and the Philippines, which we believe speaks to the diverse range of countries we invest in. In terms of sectors, the Fund did well across most sectors. We outperformed in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, financials, and industrials, which represents approximately 65% of the Fund. We underperformed in health care and information technology, which equals about 15% of the Fund.
As we entered the second quarter, concern over European sovereign debt has again become a major source of anxiety. Apropos of that, it may be a good time to discuss our strategy in Europe and what we look for in companies, where we see opportunity, and how we tackle a difficult region where perceived risks to economic growth are high. In the last quarter, we had a weight of about 28% in Western Europe compared to the benchmark at approximately 36%. However, we were overweight in Eastern Europe at nearly 5% versus 1.2% for the Index. We slightly underperformed the Index in Western Europe, however, our weightings elsewhere had higher returns than Western Europe (e.g., Eastern Europe was up almost 31%).
What is our approach in Europe? The foundation of what we do is focus on high quality, long-term growth companies. With economic difficulties hampering Europe’s growth, it is harder for individuals and corporations to feel inclined to spend or invest, so growth is scarcer. We own companies that are in newer areas like e-commerce, Wirecard AG (Germany), Yoox S.p.A. (Italy) and Delticom AG (Germany), for example, and biotechnology with names such as Abcam plc (United Kingdom). We also own companies whose markets are global. Rotork and Oxford Instruments are good examples. These companies are not simply subject to growth in their own economies — they are in new and expanding niches that represent more dynamic
areas of change. The common thread we see across all these companies is their financial efficiency and quality — with strong returns on capital and well managed balance sheets.
What other opportunities are there in Europe? It is worth mentioning an example of a company we added to the portfolio in the first quarter. Europe has some major luxury brands that are sought after across the world. In the age of the Internet and a rapidly growing middle class in Asia and Latin America, brands can create their own growth. In mid-2011, the stock of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A., listed in Italy, traded sideways for months in difficult European markets, when the virtues of a company were more easily overlooked. We bought the stock on the basis of its attractive margins, returns and growth potential, backed by what we believe is a reasonable valuation considering the above (Ferragamo is never inexpensive!). The company has a strong luxury brand name in footwear, leather goods and apparel. Despite European woes, revenues grew 26% in 2011 and there was strong growth in Asia. Sales from Asia are larger than from the U.S. or Europe and are slightly over 30% of total sales. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
As we look toward the rest of 2012, we are concerned that this year may be a trying repeat of 2011. There are some more positive signs like the pickup in the U.S. economy and lower inflation pressure in the emerging economies. However, export markets are weak globally, which is bad for Asia, and we seem to be in a slow, grinding recovery in the developed markets. These can be reasonable times to invest, though, with tempered valuations and slower equity flows into countries in the emerging world.
We are grateful to all our shareholders for their support.

WASATCH INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND (WAIOX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Roger Edgley and Laura Geritz.
Roger D. Edgley, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Laura Geritz, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Global markets rebounded strongly in the first quarter of 2012, driven by improving economic data in the United States as well as easing concerns about risks to the European financial system. |
The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund returned 16.92% during the first quarter of 2012 and comfortably outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which returned 14.29% during the same period.
While our stocks did well across a number of geographies and sectors in the quarter, the Fund’s outperformance of the Index was primarily attributable to our positions in India, which contributed 2.15 of the 2.63 percentage points of outperformance. Since members of our team, including Wasatch Emerging India Fund* portfolio manager Ajay Krishnan, recently spent three weeks visiting companies in eight cities throughout India, we thought it would be illustrative of our process to highlight some our top performing Indian names this quarter.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Even though our team has visited India numerous times in the past, this trip left us particularly optimistic about the long-term prospects of the country. Despite the real bureaucratic and regulatory gridlock that continues to create near-term headwinds in some sectors, many of the management teams we met with conveyed a strong sense of competence in their ability to navigate the contemporary challenges India faces.
Amara Raja Batteries Ltd. is one of the largest manufacturers of batteries for automotive and industrial applications in India. Thanks to its alliance with Johnson Controls** (U.S.), it is widely considered to be a technology leader in India’s nascent battery industry and the company is continuing to take share in its markets. Discussions with management confirmed that there is significant headroom for growth, but also alerted us to the potential for increasing competition in its markets. With the stock up nearly 50% in the quarter, we have trimmed back our position to better recognize some of the risks revealed in our meeting with management.
Another industrial name whose management we recently spoke with is FAG Bearings India Ltd., another strong contributor to the quarter’s performance. This company is one of the largest players in the rapidly growing bearing industry, with market leading positions in specific niches. Despite some cyclical exposure that can create near-term
uncertainties, long term drivers like improving rural economics, infrastructure growth, and rising middle class consumption will continue to generate demand for world-class bearings, and we believe this company is well positioned to take advantage of that growth.
One of our goals for this latest trip to India was to better understand the dynamics of India’s decorative paint industry, which we have invested in for some time. Our meetings with all the major paint manufacturers in the industry confirmed our optimism for Berger Paints India Ltd., one of the top contributors to performance in the Fund this quarter. Management discussed in detail their strategy to shift their mix toward higher margin premium and water-based products. Confidence in management and the dynamics of the industry confirmed the company’s place in the portfolio. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
After meeting with nearly 50 management teams from across all sectors throughout all regions of the country (including some managers who don’t typically meet with investors), we came away impressed with the large number of companies that we think are high quality and fit well with the portfolio. And while we are conscious of our significant overweight in India relative to our benchmark, we are now even more comfortable with the bottom-up analysis that continues to drive our allocation there.
Overall, our bottom-up fundamental research process has helped us create a portfolio of what we believe are high quality micro cap companies that doesn’t always mirror our benchmark. For example, our biggest geographic allocation differences relative to the benchmark continue to be Japan (13 percentage points underweight), India (12 percentage points overweight), and Indonesia (7.5 percentage points overweight). While these variances may cause fluctuations relative to the benchmark from quarter to quarter, we are confident that from a long-term, bottom-up perspective, our shareholders can potentially benefit from companies we believe are high quality, which we have discovered in these dynamic emerging economies.
OUTLOOK
We are wary that austerity, in response to stimulus measures undertaken in western economies, will continue to create fiscal headwinds around the globe, but one thing we’ve learned over the years is that there always seems to be high quality companies with long-term drivers that can do well in spite of macroeconomic challenges. Global travel and on-site visits will continue to be a hallmark of our fundamental research and will continue to lead us to the World’s Best Growth Companies of tomorrow.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH LARGE CAP VALUE FUND (FMIEX / WILCX ) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ralph Shive and Michael Shinnick.
Ralph C. Shive, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Michael L. Shinnick Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
|
The first quarter saw a strong start to 2012 for U.S. stocks. Modest growth in the U.S. looked good compared to a crippled Europe and even a slowing China. An apparent bottoming in the housing sector, decent retail sales and modest job growth implied the recovery is still in motion, although it remains painfully slow. In addition, it is difficult to know the extent to which extremely early spring weather influenced the rally in the quarter.
Among the strongest performers in the first quarter were banks, which were pummeled in 2011, information technology companies, which create productivity enhancing products, and retailers in general, which surprised us as disposable personal income growth remains stagnant. Sales were helped by a declining savings rate, which is a long-term concern. Telecommunication services and utilities were weak, as the prevalent “risk on” trade does not favor these defensive sectors. Slowing growth data from China hindered some commodity-related firms.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
A longstanding underweight in financials accounted for most of our underperformance versus the benchmark as the banking subsector in the Index was a particularly strong performer, and one where we still have a lack of conviction about the quality and transparency of balance sheets among many banks. Strong performance and an overweight in information technology helped during the quarter, as did strong performance and an underweight in utilities.
In terms of individual companies, Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. had strong performance during the quarter. We believe both are high-quality balance sheet companies with slow growth characteristics. At 11 times earnings with growing dividends we think the stock prices for both companies should trend higher. Another holding that performed well, and to which we added early in the quarter, was Harris Corp. Harris is classified as being in the information technology sector, but we think of it as an industrial company that sells communications equipment to governments, mostly in the U.S. but abroad as well. While the stock was up approximately 26% in the first quarter, we don’t see why it shouldn’t sell at 11 times 2012 earnings estimates, which implies considerable room on the upside. The new CEO has
taken decisive action to close a money-losing subsidiary and raised the dividend 18% in the quarter.
On the disappointing side was Ultra Petroleum Corp., a domestic natural gas producer whose stock continued its downward trend along with natural gas prices. We had thought that the unique, cleaner qualities of gas would help prices stay firm and that the company’s market cap size was amenable for a takeover. While the former view turned out to be overly optimistic, we think the latter still holds.
Barrick Gold Corp. was weak in the quarter as the price of gold dropped. The company’s earnings were up as were its gold reserves. With many countries printing money we like holding a gold producer.
New positions in the quarter included retailer Macy’s, Inc. We funded this position in part by trimming some of our position in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. We believe Macy’s has a higher growth profile because its higher income customer base is better positioned to weather the weak recovery. In the consumer discretionary sector, we added Ford Motor Co., as automobile production appears to be experiencing a sustainable recovery. Ford did not take government money and it has a balance sheet that bears watching closely. Finally, we took a starting position in eBay, Inc. We believe PayPal is eBay’s growth engine and that the firm’s prospects are supported by growth in online and mobile transactions. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
There is no shortage of concerns as we look forward to the rest of 2012. Among these worries are seemingly intractable U.S. government deficits, state and local unfunded liabilities and slow job creation. However, bottom up data in areas such as jobs, sales, earnings and dividends continues to show slow improvement. Therefore, we remain nearly fully invested during this unusual and quixotic business recovery.
Uncertainties with the potential to affect market stability in coming months include the upcoming U.S. election. It may promote further anxiety or surprise us and lead to increased common sense and unity! As the quarter was ending, Spain was displaying many of the symptoms of Greece, reminding everyone that the financial crisis in Europe has not been solved. Spain is a much larger country and economy than Greece, and a solution may be more difficult to attain.
Overall, we expect modest positive results in corporate earnings, and we believe we own inexpensive securities with the potential to appreciate in value.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

The Wasatch Long/Short Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Michael Shinnick and Ralph Shive.
Michael L. Shinnick Portfolio Manager |
Ralph C. Shive, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
In another strong quarter for equities, the Wasatch Long/Short Fund provided a substantial positive return while trailing the S&P 500 Index. While we were pleased with the |
Fund’s absolute performance, relative performance lagged somewhat even after adjusting for the Fund’s short exposure in a rising market.
U.S. stocks started 2012 on a strong note. While the U.S. economy showed relatively modest signs of improvement, this contrasted well with a Europe hobbled by a debt crisis and with moderating growth in China. Positive indicators in the U.S. were found in an apparent bottoming in the housing market, reasonable retail sales levels and modest job growth. While the domestic recovery may be happening in slow motion, it appears to be ongoing.
Looking at the market’s strongest sectors, financials, especially commercial banks, rebounded after being beaten down in 2011, and information technology companies creating productivity-enhancing products also performed strongly. Retailers overall did well, despite stagnant disposable personal income growth, helped by a declining savings rate, which is somewhat concerning. The weakest areas were telecommunication services and utilities as investors favored riskier, less defensive sectors in the quarter.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Security selection within the financials and information technology sectors, the best-performing groups in the S&P 500, was the biggest detractor from relative performance. Within financials, we continue to own insurers that we believe have strong balance sheets and stable business models. All of our insurers rose during the quarter, including Loews (+6%), CNA Financial (+10%), Unum Group (+17%), and Allstate (+21%). We were underweight banks, owning just two, Fifth Third Bancorp and Huntington Bancshares, which returned 12% and 18%, respectively. We were pleased with our financial holdings, although they were not as strong during the quarter as some of last year’s laggards which bounced strongly off their lows, driving financials overall within the S&P 500 to a return of 22%.
Within information technology, we were pleased with the returns from such stalwarts as Intel, Cisco Systems and Microsoft, and we added to all three in the quarter. Last quarter’s big winner, Akamai Technologies, also moved higher, and we have been trimming our position there as the valuation increases. The Fund’s major disappointment
within technology was Silicon Graphics, which was down nearly 16% in the quarter. The company announced results and annual guidance that disappointed us and other investors. In our opinion, the recently appointed CEO has strong credentials and a proven track record. His actions to reduce losses in Europe should deliver earnings benefits moving forward. While we have been frustrated with Silicon Graphics’ pace of progress, we continue to see significant value and remain large shareholders.
The short side of the Fund had mixed results. However, we were pleased that our group of short positions was up less than 1% in such a strong quarter for stocks. Major winners on the short side included Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Tiffany & Co. and calls on Akamai Technologies. During the quarter, we covered some consumer discretionary shorts that moved against us, including Harley-Davidson and Under Armour.
The biggest contributors to the Fund’s results versus the S&P 500 were on the long side and within energy. These included energy drillers Ensco, Noble Corp. and Devon Energy. Long-term shareholders know that we opportunistically adjust our positions in drillers based on valuations, and our decision to aggressively raise the position sizes in Noble and Ensco was rewarded as their stock prices rose nearly 22% and almost 14%, respectively. This quarter, we made a similar decision to increase our position in land driller and pressure pumper Patterson-UTI Energy, as well as to initiate a position in diversified energy services provider Halliburton. In our opinion, these energy services stocks have been priced for a collapse in drilling activity given the recent substantial declines in natural gas prices. However, this fails to credit the outlook for sustained revenues as higher specification equipment and activity levels are needed in domestic market oily basins compared to dry gas drilling.
OUTLOOK
We continue to be cautious on adding to short positions given the strength of the overall market. We are finding opportunities and have seen valuation premiums rising for certain groups. A new large short position has been established in Verizon Communications along with a corresponding long position in Vodafone Group. We think the market is not properly assigning valuations for Verizon Wireless, in which Vodafone owns a 45% stake. Caterpillar is another new short position. The company’s stock is being priced for dramatic growth in the face of what is clearly a slowing global economy, particularly as it pertains to activities such as mining coal.
On the long side, we initiated additional new positions in the e-commerce space via WebMD Health and Ancestry.com, as both companies experienced dramatic price declines on acknowledged slowing in their growth rates. We believe both companies have strong, cash rich balance sheets and good cash generation capabilities for their re-set levels of growth. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
We believe the Fund is well positioned to benefit from future market advances while we have tried to mitigate downside risk.
We thank you for your investment with us.

WASATCH MICRO CAP FUND (WMICX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Daniel Chace.
Daniel Chace, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund gained 13.86% during the first quarter. The Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index, which rose 12.44%, but trailed the 15.29% increase in its primary benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index. It was another strong quarter for U.S. equities. All of the major market indices rallied in response to positive economic data, particularly the employment numbers. In addition, |
Greece reached a deal to restructure its debt, and a special lending facility offered by the European Central Bank eased funding pressures in the region.
With risk appetites rising, investors gravitated toward the smallest, most volatile stocks in the market. Many of these names had lagged last year, only to bounce back with large gains in the first quarter. Given our focus on micro caps, the especially strong performance of the smallest stocks was a tailwind for the portfolio relative to the Russell 2000 Index. But it was a headwind relative to the Russell Microcap Index, because the Russell Microcap has more exposure to very small, volatile stocks than the Fund.
Generally, our companies continue to post solid earnings. Their weighted-average earnings growth rate was in the mid-teens in the most recent quarterly reporting period. This was in line with what we were expecting and consistent with our long-run target for the Fund.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
One of our best-performing stocks this quarter was Gordmans Stores, Inc. Gordmans is a big-box discount retailer that operates about 75 stores, primarily in the Midwest. The company experienced a pause in same-store sales growth last year, although we believe management executed well on gross margins during that period. In March, Gordmans reported a pickup in same-stores sales growth and continued margin expansion. The stock took off on the news and was up approximately 76% for the quarter. We continue to like Gordmans because we think there is significant headroom for new store expansion, and management continues to execute well.
Our foreign-listed holdings gained approximately 21% this quarter, outperforming our domestic holdings and the Russell Microcap Index. One of our best-performing foreign names was LMA International N.V. (Singapore), which makes laryngeal masks that are used in surgery in place of endotracheal tubes. The stock was beaten down badly during the recession. But we held onto it, and it has proved to be a low, double-digit grower and a solid one- and three-year portfolio contributor. With an interesting product, good margins and a strong leader at the helm, we think LMA has more growth ahead of it.
CorVel Corp., a provider of services for managing workers’ compensation claims, was one of the few stocks in the Fund that was down substantially. In January, the company reported a fairly average quarter. Margins were below where we thought they would be, although this was because a high-margin piece of the business has some lumpiness to it. That said, between the so-so quarterly results and a negative report written by a short seller, the stock came under pressure. Then in March, the CEO resigned to rejoin his previous employer, and the stock got even weaker. CorVel was our largest holding coming into the quarter, and the CEO’s departure prompted us to cut our position. We still think CorVel can implement its growth strategy, which is to transition from selling its services to third-party administrators to becoming a third-party administrator itself. Consequently, the stock is still a meaningful weight in the portfolio. But with the change in leadership, we no longer felt comfortable having it as our largest weight. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
The market for initial public offerings (IPOs) seemed to pick up nicely during the quarter, and we participated in a few of them. Even though we do not always participate in IPOs given the most interesting businesses are often highly marketed, the stocks expensive and allocations on deals minimal, we are still excited to have these companies in the public markets. They refresh the micro cap space, and we generally get a second chance with the ones we like — either when the lock-ups come off and insiders can sell again, or when investors’ expectations come back to earth.
OUTLOOK
The U.S. economy has been showing signs of improvement, though still inconsistent. Nonetheless, global economic uncertainty persists. The European Central Bank has been injecting liquidity into the financial system, but the region’s debt problems have not been resolved. In addition, growth is slowing in China, which raises the question whether the country’s economy will have a soft landing or a hard one. Against this backdrop, it is not difficult to envision downside scenarios for the U.S. economy and stock market. But barring some major shock, we feel reasonably positive about the environment.
We also feel positive about the quality of our portfolio companies and the earnings growth we are seeing from them. Following the strong gains in the market over the past six months, we are less enthusiastic about valuations as a whole. In general, we think the fastest-growing micro cap companies in the market have gotten expensive relative to their growth prospects. We own a few of these names and have been trimming them back. However, we own many more stocks whose valuations we believe are still reasonable, including stocks that have had nice returns that seem to have more room to run.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH MICRO CAP VALUE FUND (WAMVX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Brian Bythrow.
Brian Bythrow, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Stock markets continued on a positive course in 2012’s first quarter. The appearance of more datapoints indicating renewed growth in the U.S. and global economies made investors more willing to take on more risk. At this point, it’s unclear whether the recovery in the U.S. — aided by easy monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed), lower payroll taxes, and other government stimuli — will be sustainable over |
the longer term, but for now modest economic growth is encouraging.
In this environment, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund returned 14.11% for the first quarter of 2012, slightly behind the Russell Microcap Index, which returned 15.29% over the same period. This modest underperformance can be attributed in part to our underweighting in small banks, which experienced a significant rebound over the period. In addition, our holdings in the commercial banks industry hadn’t been as badly beaten up as many of their peers, and thus didn’t stage quite as strong a rally.
The current climate has been generally beneficial for companies in our portfolio, though they haven’t depended on a strong macroeconomic backdrop to generate attractive levels of earnings growth.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
A number of our stronger holdings over the quarter came from the consumer discretionary sector. We hold an overweight position in this sector, and it was the strongest-performing part of the micro cap market for the period. Now that consumers are feeling a bit more confident, they’re willing to spend a bit more. Investors, in turn, are gaining more confidence in companies that depend on that consumer spending. For example, Gordmans Stores, Inc., a smaller value-priced retailer, was our top contributor to performance for the period. This company is still lesser known and somewhat unproven relative to its rivals, and its lower valuation reflected that. After Gordmans posted strong quarterly results early in the year, however, investors took note and pushed the stock price up significantly.
Another major contributor to performance for the quarter was Caribou Coffee Co., Inc. We purchased this stock while the company was in turnaround mode. Now it has been able to report some strong numbers and move into a period of growth, with investors rewarding that progress. Smith & Wesson Holding Corp., a new addition to the portfolio, has benefited from more than rising consumer confidence. The easing of gun laws in many states, and a greater interest in personal protection, helped spark greater demand for handguns.
Consumer names from outside the U.S. — particularly emerging markets — also recorded good results for the period. Even though consumers in many of these markets didn’t go through a slump, stock prices often were quite inexpensive.
One of these was Thailand’s Siam Global House, a small chain of home-improvement superstores similar to those found in the U.S. We met with the company’s management team while on a trip to the region earlier this year. Although the company currently has a small base of around a dozen stores, it has ambitious plans for unit growth over the next decade, driven by Thailand’s rising household incomes. We added this position to the portfolio during the quarter, and it has already contributed to performance.
While investors may have gained some appetite for risk, they’re not entirely unwary. Among our detractors from performance this quarter was Higher One Holdings, Inc., a payment processor geared to the higher-education finance market. While we still have confidence in the company’s long-term prospects, investors have responded negatively to a perceived lack of visibility in its earnings outlook. CorVel Corp., a health care management company, was another detractor, knocked down by concerns over the departure of the company’s CEO. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
Over the past several years, we have gradually moved the Fund’s median market capitalization up from about $300 million to approximately $500 million. This still lands us squarely in micro cap territory, and allows us greater flexibility and liquidity in managing the Fund. In some long-term testing, we found that tinier names were not generating better relative performance for the Fund.
The moderately higher market capitalization gives us some room to add new assets, so we reopened the Fund to new investors during the quarter for the first time since 2010. We have only taken this step because we feel confident we can invest these additional assets without diluting long-term performance, which remains a priority for us.
On the whole, we’re happy with our portfolio of companies that we see as being reasonably valued while putting up healthy levels of earnings growth. In our view, these companies have the tools to continue growing even if the economy doesn’t accelerate from its current modest pace. The Fed has signaled a continuation of its easy money policy for the next few years. Historically, smaller cap stocks have done well in that kind of environment.
Although the small cap market indices appear somewhat pricey after a couple of strong quarters, our portfolio companies look significantly undervalued relative to those in the benchmark. We don’t believe valuations on our companies are overstretched, and we are sticking firmly with our discipline of seeking out and holding less expensive, undiscovered companies offering attractive growth potential. We will continue to trim positions when we feel they have become expensive, and look for opportunities to add new companies at valuations that allow significant potential for growth.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND (WAAEX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Jeff Cardon.
Jeff Cardon, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund gained 14.20% in what was a very strong quarter for the U.S. equity markets. Stocks advanced on improving economic data in the United States and a period of relative calm in Europe’s debt crisis. The Fund outpaced the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which rose 13.28%, and the Russell 2000 Index, which was up 12.44%. We typically have a hard time |
outperforming in buoyant markets, when the high-quality consistent growth stocks we like to own begin to look less exciting to investors. So we are pleased with our performance in this environment.
For the first time since the March 2009 bottom, investors appear to have a larger appetite for risk. This typically follows a market bottom and is accompanied by a period of strong performance among low-quality stocks. Here we are, three years later, and only now are we seeing the risk taking of a traditional off-the-bottom “junk” rally.
The lack of a pronounced junk rally up to this point explains why our relative performance has been uncharacteristically strong coming off the 2009 bottom. We believe investors were unwilling to fully embrace a risk-taking stance given the unusual severity of the financial crisis and the mounds of public debt accompanying the rebound. Going forward, if we do enter a prolonged phase of risk taking, it may be more difficult for us to deliver substantial relative outperformance against the Index. The good news of this scenario is that absolute returns would potentially be strong because such a scenario implies stronger U.S. economic growth and the absence of more debt-induced crises either at home or abroad.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Some of our best-performing stocks this quarter were ones that lagged last year. They included Icon plc, a contract research organization for clinical drug trials, and Vistaprint N.V., which sells marketing products and services to small businesses over the Internet. While we consider both to be high-quality companies, their fundamentals were weaker than our average company in 2011. Neither firm has seen a material change in its short-run fundamentals, but a more buoyant stock market has benefited these previously beaten-down stocks.
Yes Bank Ltd., an Indian financial services company, is another name that did exceptionally well following a difficult 2011. Unlike Icon and Vistaprint, Yes Bank has continued its strong uninterrupted growth. The stock has been impacted by the volatility in the Indian market, which was weak last year but has been one of the strongest markets year-to-date. With an average gain of more than 20%, our positions in Yes Bank and other foreign-listed companies positively impacted performance this quarter.
One of our most powerful long-term investment themes is the need for businesses to increase productivity in the lower-growth, increasingly competitive global economy. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to invest in technology-related products and services with compelling economic paybacks. A number of our information technology stocks benefit from this focus on delivering efficiency, including Sourcefire, Inc. and Ultimate Software Group, Inc. Both were top contributors this quarter.
Polypore International, Inc. was one of the relatively small number of stocks in the Fund that had negative returns in the strong market. Polypore makes filtration membranes used in batteries, including the lithium batteries used in electric cars. The stock fell sharply on news that a large customer will be investing in its own membrane technology. We believe the sell-off was overdone. First, the customer is looking to replace membranes in applications where Polypore is not a supplier; Polypore is not being displaced. Our research suggests that Polypore’s competitive position in the lithium battery market for automobiles is unchanged. While the timing is uncertain, we believe meaningful adoption of electric and hybrid cars is inevitable and that this will become a key market for Polypore.
Blue Nile, Inc. is another name that lagged. Blue Nile sells fine jewelry, especially engagement rings, over the Internet. The company’s business has been impacted by the tough economy and a decline in the number of marriages in the United States. Despite these cyclical headwinds, we think Blue Nile will thrive over the long run by taking market share from traditional “bricks and mortar” jewelers. An efficient and low-cost Internet model allows Blue Nile to sell jewelry at prices that are 30% below retail. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
As the equity markets gain momentum, investors are beginning to feel more comfortable buying riskier and lower-quality stocks. At times like these, our inclination is to become more cautious. In our opinion, valuations are not especially attractive given the recent market strength. Although the global economy is on firmer ground than it was a few years ago, none of the world’s fundamental problems have been seriously addressed. Of particular concern is the massive amount of government debt in the United States and Europe.
If the market does take a breather, we believe the Fund has the potential to outperform the small cap indices. However, if stock prices continue to surge, the Fund has the potential to generate strong returns but may underperform. In this scenario, we will not chase performance; we will continue to execute our discipline of investing in quality companies while paying close attention to valuation. As long-term investors, we believe that buying stocks of true growth companies with strong balance sheets and paying reasonable prices for them makes the most sense.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

The first quarter picked up where the fourth quarter of 2011 left off, with outstanding performance for the broader U.S. equity market. Small cap stocks, in particular, performed well in the first three months of 2012 based on the 11.59% return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. Although the Fund gained 11.30% as stronger economic growth and improved news flow out of |
Europe supported performance results for many of our holdings, the performance of the Investor Class of shares
fell slightly short of the benchmark.

An important contributor to first quarter performance was our Fallen Angel discipline, which seeks opportunities in one-time growth companies whose stocks have fallen into value territory due to short-term developments. Our Fallen Angel approach was well-suited to the environment, as optimistic investors embraced stocks that have struggled in the short term but that continue to represent longer-term opportunities. This was particularly true among our consumer-oriented investments. Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc., a retailer selling hardwood flooring for residential homes, delivered a strong gain during the quarter. We trimmed our weighting in Lumber Liquidators due to its higher valuation, but we maintain a position on the belief that demand for its products can continue to improve. Chico’s FAS, Inc. also generated a robust gain as the company’s sales rebounded following an inventory misstep.
The Fund’s first quarter performance also benefited from one of our holdings being taken over. Advance America Cash Advance Centers, Inc., a provider of consumer loans, was bought by Grupo Elektra,* a Mexican retail and financial company. We found AEA’s improving balance sheet and earnings growth to be attractive, and apparently Grupo Elektra did as well.
The Fund’s largest detractor was managed care provider CorVel Corp. whose share price fell sharply after the CEO was hired away by a larger company. While we viewed this as a negative development, which prompted us to reduce our weighting in CorVel, we kept a position on the expectation that the company can maintain its favorable growth profile.
Our energy investments also did not keep pace during the first quarter. Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. lost ground after management did not raise expectations for the coming year. We continue to believe that the company’s investments in the oil-rich Bakken shale can provide upside to future results. Ultra Petroleum Corp. is sensitive to the falling price of natural gas and was our largest detractor in the energy sector. We increased our position in the stock, as we believe the company’s status as a low-cost producer will prove valuable in the long run.
Rising stock prices prompted us to reduce or sell a
number of holdings during the first quarter. For example, Herbalife Ltd. — a former Fallen Angel — built on last year’s strong performance behind rising international sales of healthy-meal replacement products. Believing its valuation had become fully realized, we exited the position after nearly three and a half years of ownership.
Takeovers and rising valuations weren’t the only factors prompting us to trim positions during the quarter. The competitive landscape changes quickly for many of our companies, and we elected to sell a number of our investments when we felt that the management teams and business models would no longer be able to compete effectively and provide upside potential to the Fund. On this basis,
we sold Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp., our long-time semiconductor holding Supertex, Inc., and for-profit education provider Bridgepoint Education, Inc.
We continue to find opportunities to put the proceeds from these sales to work, even as the rally in small caps moves toward its seventh month. We expect continued improvement in the economy this year, which should provide a tailwind for some companies in the information technology sector. For instance, we took a new position in Fallen Angel Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc., a vendor of telephony products for call centers whose “cloud”-based systems appear well positioned to take market share in this large industry. We think cloud computing, a model for delivering information technology services over the Internet through web-based tools and applications, remains an important growth area in technology.
Another new investment this quarter was Darling International, Inc., one of the leading rendering companies in the United States. Rendering is the process of recovering fats and proteins from the meat, poultry and restaurant industries. A transformative acquisition of a major competitor, along with improving industry dynamics, prompted us to take a position in what we see as an Undiscovered Gem (Wasatch’s term for a company that has little or no coverage by Wall Street analysts). (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
We believe these new purchases help illustrate a key
benefit of small cap investing — opportunities to invest in inefficiently priced individual stocks even when prices in the broader market have been climbing for an extended period.
OUTLOOK
While we are encouraged by the strong start to the year and the mounting evidence of an economic recovery, we remain concerned about the state of the global debt crisis and the political uncertainty worldwide. We strive to manage these risks by focusing on investing in the type of high-quality, financially healthy, undervalued companies that should prove resilient if external factors begin to weigh on stock prices.

WASATCH STRATEGIC INCOME FUND (WASIX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Strategic Income Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Sam Stewart.
Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The first quarter performance of the Wasatch Strategic Income Fund was right down the center of the plate. The Fund’s 9.29% return was nestled right in the sweet spot between the returns of stocks and bonds. The S&P 500 Index reached a four-year high with a 12.59% gain during the quarter, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was up 0.30% as nearly rock bottom interest rate levels slowed bond returns. I have to admit I was a little taken |
aback by the breadth of the stock market rally during the first quarter. Markets are never predictable, but without a strong market trend and with plenty of global economic uncertainty I felt we had entered “a stock picker’s market” — a period where company fundamentals would rule the roost. Although I still feel the same way, the stock picker’s market I expected didn’t arrive early this year as the rising market tide lifted most stocks in 2012’s first quarter.
The Fund’s high cash position — which hovered around 17% — hindered performance during the rally. However, that is a price I’m willing to pay in an effort to lend stability to the portfolio in what I believe is an exceptionally unstable environment. I plan to spend a portion of the excess cash when the market provides opportunities to acquire stocks at more attractive valuations.
I continue to focus on companies that have both the willingness and the ability to increase their dividend payments. As of late, I’ve started to see increased willingness among companies in the Fund to boost their dividends, with average payouts rising by double digits over the past year.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
A majority of the Fund’s assets are invested in two sectors — financials and information technology. As a bottom up stock picker, I am much more interested in specific company fundamentals than general market forecasts or themes. However, in my view, some of the best investment opportunities happen to exist among companies in these sectors. I think that is the case for a couple of reasons.
First, with the Fund’s focus on tempering volatility, I believe dividends lend a reasonable measure of stability to a company’s stock price. Finance companies, at least those held in the Fund, typically pay a larger dividend compared to companies in the broader market.
Secondly, technology companies, which historically have tended to reinvest profits back into their businesses, now in many cases find themselves in cash rich positions and are starting to either initiate dividends or increase their payouts. Also, once the market factor is eliminated from returns, technology and financial equities tend to have a degree of negative correlation with each other. By owning companies in both sectors, I believe that the volatility of the Fund will be further diminished.
Capital One Financial performed well during the quarter, returning over 31%. The financial service provider, known primarily for its credit card operations, recently finalized a pair of acquisitions. It took over HSBC’s $30 billion credit card business and then diversified its portfolio by purchasing ING Groep’s U.S. online banking unit. Improving credit tailwinds resulted in fewer charge-offs helping to boost profitability.
Through my efforts to further diversify the Fund, I added a few new names in the energy sector. As it becomes more and more difficult to extract oil out of the ground I believe that Suncor Energy, Occidental Petroleum and CARBO Ceramics — all dividend payers — are each well-positioned to benefit from rising prices.
Ultra Petroleum was the largest detractor from performance during the quarter. It also operates in the energy sector, but has a significant presence in natural gas exploration and production. With the sharp drop in natural gas prices owing to the glut of supply caused primarily by new discoveries and warmer than normal winter weather, the stock price retreated. As the only non-dividend paying stock in the Fund I am currently weighing my options about its future place in the portfolio.
OUTLOOK
At the macroeconomic level, data has shown a modestly positive trend over recent months. Furthermore, U.S. and Eurozone central banks continue to signal that the liquidity environment will remain favorable to the equity markets. Eventually, the markets will be weaned off stimulus efforts and stocks will have to be weighed on fundamental criteria. In that respect, I believe the Fund is particularly well-positioned.
I plan to continue trimming our large weight in financial stocks and to redeploy some of the assets into more defensive companies in the utilities, consumer staples and health care sectors. Even though I like the high yields from most of our financial holdings, with stock valuations trending upward and with the economic environment still on unsure footing I feel that the Fund needs to play defense through further diversification.
Even though new companies will likely be added, I intend to reduce the net number of stocks held in the Fund so that I can concentrate on what I think are the very best ideas.
I remain cautiously bullish, although admittedly I’m even more of a cautious bull than I was three months ago. Given the recent market strength, company valuations now command much more of my attention. As overall valuations have become richer, identifying the quality and durability of earnings growth has become even more important. I think it’s wise to save a little dry powder for investing in discounts that may arise during pullbacks.

WASATCH ULTRA GROWTH FUND (WAMCX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Paul Lambert, John Malooly and Ajay Krishnan.
Paul Lambert Portfolio Manager |
John Malooly, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
After a solid fourth quarter last year, U.S. stocks added another quarter of double-digit gains. There appeared to be more positive signs in the U.S. economy, though it’s not yet clear how long or strong the recovery will be. With the employment picture showing gradual but steady improvement, consumer confidence gained momentum.
European markets were positive, as Greece was able to negotiate additional bailout financing. Although Greece and Europe aren’t yet out of the proverbial woods, investors welcomed the more stable environment. Emerging markets set an especially strong pace over the period.
The return of 13.99% posted by the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund was slightly ahead of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 13.28% in the first quarter of 2012.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
In this period of improving consumer confidence, our strongest performer was Gordmans Stores, a smaller, value-priced retailer. Gordmans’ same-store sales figures — an important metric for retailers — are good, but not stupendous. The real story that drove its stock price higher was unit growth. New store openings are accelerating, and it appears the new stores are positioned to do well. Going forward, Gordmans should find it easier to post stronger year-on-year same-store sales comparisons.
A number of our other contributors to performance over the period came from the information technology (IT) sector, though they operate in diverse industries. Among these was Cognizant Technology Solutions which benefited from companies’ willingness to spend on IT consulting and outsourcing even if they are not yet ready to conduct large-scale hiring. Sourcefire, a provider of sophisticated computer network security systems, posted a strong quarter and has a new product cycle launching. With ever-growing concerns about hacking and other network intrusions, Sourcefire appears poised to attract even more attention in coming months.
Also in the tech sector, Tangoe, a provider of software that helps companies manage their communications equipment costs, posted healthy results. We find companies like this compelling because they offer their clients a high return on investment (ROI) — the price they pay for products and
services is more than repaid in greater efficiency and cost savings. High ROI may be of particular interest when the economy is weak and corporate budgets constrained, but doesn’t lose its appeal in a heartier economic environment.
We added a number of intriguing new holdings. One of these was Black Diamond, a provider of sophisticated, higher-end outdoor gear. About half of its business centers on winter sports, such as backcountry skiing and ice climbing, while the other half focuses on sports like backpacking and rock climbing. Based near our Salt Lake City headquarters, the company has a strong history of organic growth, and has the ability to move into new recreational fields through acquisitions. As Black Diamond’s brand recognition expands, there’s the potential for major growth in the apparel area.
First Cash Financial Services, a provider of secured consumer loans, was a holding that we sold due to high valuation. We added the company to the Fund again in the quarter now that it appears more reasonably valued. First Cash has extensive U.S. operations and has been in the Mexican market for more than a decade, giving it an early lead advantage over competitors. The company is experiencing good unit growth as well as strong same-store figures, and is buying back stock.
The greatest detractor from performance for the quarter was Polypore International. The company makes membranes used in batteries of many different sizes and types. The company had been a strong performer, benefiting from demand for battery-powered devices ranging from consumer electronics to cars, but recently, disruption in the production of battery-powered cars — an important, growing market for Polypore’s products — dampened investors’ sentiment toward the company. We remain confident in Polypore’s longer-term prospects, however.
Another significant detractor was OPNET Technologies, a provider of tools that help corporate IT departments monitor and maintain their cloud-based computing systems. The decline in the company’s stock price, we believe, reflects market expectations rather than deteriorating fundamentals. Technological innovation tends to come from small companies like OPNET, rather than from established giants. If OPNET keeps executing at a high level, we believe it can attract interest as an acquisition target. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
From the big-picture standpoint, it appears the economy is gaining strength, though earnings growth among U.S. companies remains a little scarce. Within the Fund, we are pleased that our companies have continued to grow at a rate well in excess of the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate.
The main question now is whether the economy will continue to recover, or whether it will stage a retreat. The answer should become apparent in the next few months. In the meantime, given the markets’ recent strong run, it could be difficult to find companies with strong fundamentals whose stocks are reasonably priced. We will continue to look for investments that meet our fundamental criteria and seek opportunities to add them at acceptable prices.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH WORLD INNOVATORS FUND (WAGTX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch World Innovators Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Sam Stewart and Josh Stewart.
Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Josh Stewart Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The global stock markets built on their strong finish to 2011 with an equally fast start to 2012. The benchmark for the Wasatch World Innovators Fund, the MSCI AC World IMI, gained 12.14% in the first |
quarter. The Fund outperformed the benchmark, returning 15.17% and building on the over 12 percentage points of outperformance it delivered in 2011. We are pleased, and frankly a little surprised, by the result this quarter, as we have tended to keep up in strong “risk on” rising markets and add the most value in flat or down “risk off” markets. Our first quarter outperformance therefore feels like a bonus.
We spent the winter pruning the number of companies in the Fund in order to focus on our highest conviction investments. The number of companies in the portfolio dropped to 69 by the end of the quarter, down from 91 at the end of September 2011. Our top 10 positions now represent approximately 31% of the portfolio, versus nearly 28% at the end of September. In paring down the portfolio, we have focused on eliminating stocks that are experiencing negative growth or downward revisions to future earnings estimates. We currently have no positions in stocks experiencing negative top-line growth, and only eight holdings in stocks with negative earnings trends. In these cases, we believe the outlook justifies our investment despite the near-term growth challenges.
Valuation is now our largest concern, as the six-month rally has stretched valuation multiples. Rather than chasing expensive stocks, we spent much of the quarter focused on increasing the stability and defensiveness of the Fund. Our cash balance increased from just over 11.3% at the end of December to almost 16% at the end of March. Holding more cash in a bull market is a drag on performance relative to the Index and, in fact, we would have outperformed by an even wider margin had we stayed fully invested. However, we think it is wise to keep some cash available for a rainy day with valuations at their current levels.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Reflecting the favorable market environment, nearly every stock we owned rose during the first quarter. While we invest in innovators across the full spectrum of sectors, many are either information technology or health care companies. We solidly outperformed in both of these sectors, which are our two largest overweights, and each contributed over two percentage points to our outperformance relative to the benchmark.
Our top contributor was Apple, Inc., which added nearly two percentage points to the Fund’s 15%-plus return. The Fund’s largest individual holding, Apple was propelled by the strong results it reported during the quarter. Bio-Reference Laboratories, Inc. added nearly one percentage point as the company’s strong results served to refute a bearish report that weighed on the stock’s performance late last year. A number of other holdings also delivered strong performance and generated about a half-percentage point worth of relative performance, including Visa, Inc., MasterCard, Inc., Mindray Medical International Ltd., Herbalife Ltd., eBay, Inc. and NuVasive, Inc., as well as the European companies Sartorius Stedim Biotech and DiaSorin S.p.A. There were no substantial detractors during the quarter, although a few newer holdings — such as Ancestry.com, Inc., SodaStream International Ltd. and Arcos Dorados Holdings, Inc. — detracted modestly from our return. (Current and future holdings are subject to risk.)
OUTLOOK
We’re pleased with the results of the first quarter and the past 12 months. Not only has the Fund outperformed, but also we believe we’ve done so without taking on excess risk. During the past year, the Fund has generally performed better than the benchmark on days that the market has fallen. At the same time, our individual holdings delivered strong fundamental results — the average reported revenue and earnings growth rates of the companies we hold in the Fund both rose to above 20%. We believe these two numbers illustrate that execution on the individual company level, and not excessive risk-taking, has been the key driver of our strong performance.
The recent market rally will inevitably taper out given the strong gains in the broader indices over the past six months. However, we are confident that the companies we own have innovative business models that should allow them to continue to grow market share even in a downturn. We are confident that finding these disruptive companies will prove a successful investment strategy and provide the potential for outstanding long-run returns.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH-1ST SOURCE INCOME FUND (FMEQX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
Paul W. Gifford, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund returned 0.53% for the first quarter of 2012. During this time, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returned 0.61%. Corporate bonds performed well during the quarter. Bonds with the lowest credit ratings were the best performers. Bonds rated BBB, the lower end of the investment grade market, were up 2.52%. The Fund is |
modestly overweight in corporate bonds but we are under the Index weighting in BBB rated bonds.
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
A metaphor often used to describe the economy as it moves from recovery to expansion is that of a second-stage booster rocket that kicks in just as parts of the spacecraft are falling away. The economy is essentially attempting this second stage as businesses go beyond simple inventory building and calling back laid-off workers to investing for longer-term growth. The restructuring of Greece’s debt is seen as positive after months of questions and is a piece of debris falling away.
Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Ben Bernanke voiced his desire for more expansion recently in a speech. He emphasized the need for the economy to grow faster to reduce unemployment to a more reasonable level.
INTEREST RATES
The Fed’s accommodative monetary policies are expected to remain in place through late 2013. This means continued low interest rates to allow time for more recovery and eventual solid “second-stage” expansion in the economy.
During the quarter, interest rates rose modestly resulting in bond returns of near zero. Credit sectors of the bond market offered a modest spread to treasuries to minimize the loss as interest rates rose. The 10-year Treasury bond began the quarter at less than 2.0% and rose to a little over 2.2% at quarter-end. For the first time in several quarters, the rise in rates led to a negative return for some longer maturity government bonds. The low rate environment increases the likelihood that some sectors of the fixed income market will produce negative returns.
THREE YEARSAND COUNTING
March 6, 2009 marked the low point in the bear market when the S&P 500 Index* reached an intraday low of 666. At that point, the S&P 500 had fallen 57% in 18 months. Today, the S&P 500 has rebounded and is only about 10% below its all-time high. At the height of the financial crisis, extraordinary events took place and governments around the globe took unprecedented steps. Today, we are taking baby steps in what promises to be an elongated process of unwinding the multitude of programs instituted during the crisis.
The two largest issues — likely also to be the most difficult to solve — are the low interest rate structure engineered by
the Fed and the massive debt and annual deficit of the federal government. These two are more intertwined than we may like. The Fed has kept short-term rates at a record low since December 2008 and implemented two versions of “quantitative easing.” These programs have benefited highly indebted consumers at the expense of savers. The U.S. government is also benefiting from low interest rates. Five years ago, the average rate paid on government debt outstanding was approximately 5.25%. Today, the average rate is around 2.70%. Five years ago, total federal debt outstanding was $8 trillion. Today, it is $15 trillion.** Amazingly, the federal government’s annual interest expense is almost the same as it was in 2006 but with nearly twice as much debt.
Markets become accustomed to low interest rates making it hard to eliminate monetary easing. Borrowers become attached to the idea that rates will remain low and that they will be able to take advantage of them for years to come. Changing that mindset could be difficult.
While consumers and many corporations reduced debt, the federal government increased spending and debt. Balancing the federal budget would require cuts in expenditures equal to 8% to 9% of gross domestic product (GDP) — a challenge exacerbated by an economy only growing 2%. The magnitude of the cuts practically mandates the inclusion of entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare — not a palatable option for many politicians.
The general improvement in the economy gives politicians some wiggle room to start addressing the consequences of efforts to mitigate the financial crisis. Witnessing the events in Europe should scare them into action; but we are not sure they will act. Our nation’s fiscal mess is the main reason not to be more optimistic about the U.S. economy.
FUND STRATEGY
The Fund’s largest weighting is in corporate bonds at 39% (up from 37% last quarter) versus 34% for the Index. The credit quality of corporations has continued to improve on good earnings and balance sheet cash. We have been overweight in financial sector corporate bonds (15% vs. 10%) as this has been the least expensive portion of the investment grade market in our view. Bank and brokerage earnings have been strong as the economy has recovered. We own companies like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and Fifth Third Bancorp. We also have a significant overweight in the industrials sector (22% vs. 15%), favoring names such as Caterpillar, Disney, Oracle and Pepsi.
The Fund also has a 23% weighting in mortgage-backed securities. We continue to favor GNMA securities, which now account for 60% of the Fund’s asset-backed bonds. Their high quality and more stable cash flow make them attractive investments in today’s interest rate environment.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH-HOISINGTON U.S. TREASURY FUND (WHOSX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
Van R. Hoisington Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The standard of living of the average American continues to fall. Real median household income today is near the same level as it was 15 years ago, a remarkable statistic since the debt-to-GDP ratio is 100 points higher. The cause of this deterioration in living standards can be traced to the excessive accumulation of debt, as well as the debt proportion that has turned increasingly unproductive, or even |
counterproductive. When debt is utilized to finance nonproductive assets, an economic process is initiated that undermines prosperity. Productivity gains must be generated in order to boost income, and thereby the standard of living. If debt enhances productivity, incomes will expand and the economic pie will be enlarged. Otherwise, the debt increase will be debilitating to economic growth.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
The Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund registered a return of -8.00% in the first quarter of 2012, compared to a 0.30% gain for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. However, over the past year, the Fund performed extremely well, posting a 32.82% gain compared with the 7.71% return for the Index.
Long-dated Treasury bonds (maturities longer than 20 years), like those in your Fund, declined in value as the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond increased from 2.89% at year-end 2011 to 3.34% on March 30, 2012. This increase in yields was well within the normal volatile range exhibited in recent years. Even with the rise in yields over the past three months, they were dramatically below the 4.51% level on the last day of March in 2011.
OUTLOOK
The negative feedback loop arising from the unproductive nature of the country’s debt accumulation is straightforward. First, spending by the United States government carries a zero expenditure multiplier, as do operating expenditures of state and local governments. Thus, each dollar spent by the federal government creates no sustainable income, yet the interest payment incurred with each borrowed dollar creates a subtraction from future revenue streams of the private sector. Second, much of the massive debt increase over the past decade has been in the form of mortgage debt. Jobs and income were created with the expansion of the housing stock. However, no productivity gains are evident in this housing stock increase, which means future incomes have not expanded. Nevertheless, the repayment of principal and interest weighs down the system, and the consequences of delinquency, foreclosure, default and bankruptcy compound the problem.
Third, debt that is utilized to finance consumers’ daily needs obviously fails to generate any productivity or future income growth. Efforts by fiscal and monetary authorities to sustain growth by further debt accumulation may produce some short-term benefit. Sadly, these interludes fade quickly
as the debt becomes more destabilizing. The net result of increased indebtedness then becomes the opposite of what policymakers intend when they promote economic growth by either borrowing funds for increased government expenditures or encourage consumers to borrow with artificial and temporary incentives.
Since 1989, Japan has provided an excellent but highly disturbing example of the debilitating effects of a prolonged period of taking on additional debt while shifting more of the debt into unproductive uses. In 1989, Japan’s public and private debt was just under 400% of gross domestic product (GDP). After repeatedly trying all of the Keynesian and monetary school recommendations on a large scale, Japan’s debt ratio stood at an all-time record of 491% in 2011. Over this 23-year span, the portion of government debt to GDP ratio more than quadrupled, advancing from near 50% to over 200%. The government’s financing needs were so great that the private debt to GDP ratio actually contracted nearly 55%, a strong indication that the composition of the debt increasingly financed unproductive activities. Since 1990, numerous episodes of seemingly better Japanese growth failed to establish a self-sustaining recovery as debt’s negative feedback loops progressively worsened.
The trajectory of Japan’s experience is beginning to take shape in the United States. Since 2009, private debt to GDP has declined while government debt to GDP has surged. If we use the International Monetary Fund’s projections for gross U.S. federal debt for this year and next, and assume that the private debt ratio is stable, the total debt to GDP ratio will rise sharply this year, and again in 2013, putting the U.S. in Japan’s footsteps. Also, the U.S. economy has witnessed episodic improvement along with gains in business and consumer confidence. But, ephemeral positive shifts in psychology cannot match the negative elements of higher levels of unproductive debt.
In most years, economic optimism seems to flourish for the first four or five months of the year. Seasonally, interest rates are usually at their yearly highs between late February and mid May. In fact, in 14 of the last 20 years the 30-year Treasury bond yield has peaked in the first half of the year. Our view remains that while interest rates can rise for many transitory reasons, underlying economic fundamentals suggest that long-term rates cannot remain elevated and will gradually move lower.
We appreciate your investment in the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund.

| ||||
|
A bear market is generally defined as a drop of 20% or more in stock prices over at least a two-month period.
Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given stock relative to the overall market. A beta above one is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below one is less volatile.
Someone who is “bullish” or “a bull” is optimistic with regard to the stock market’s prospects.
A bull market is defined as a prolonged period in which investment prices rise faster than their historical average. Bull markets can happen as the result of an economic recovery, an economic boom, or investor psychology.
The “cloud” is the Internet. Cloud-computing is a model for delivering information technology services in which resources are retrieved from the Internet through web-based tools and applications rather than from a direct connection to a server.
Corporate bonds are debt securities issued by a corporation for the purpose of raising money to expand its business.
Correlation, in the financial world, is a statistical measure of how asset classes, securities, markets, or countries move in relation to each other.
A credit rating is an assessment of the credit worthiness of individuals and corporations. It is based upon the history of borrowing and repayment, as well as the availability of assets and extent of liabilities. Ratings are issued by S&P or Moody’s and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The credit quality of the investments in the Income Fund’s portfolio does not apply to the safety or stability of the Fund. Ratings and portfolio credit quality may change over time. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. The Fund itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency. For information on the rating agency’s methodology visit: http://www.standardandpoors.com/home/en/us and http://www.moodys.com.
Debt-to-GDP ratio is a measure of a country’s federal debt in relation to its gross domestic product (GDP). The higher the debt-to-GDP ratio, the less likely the country will be to pay back its debt, and the higher its risk of default.
Dividend yield is a company’s annual dividend payments divided by its market capitalization, or the dividend per share divided by the price per share. For example, a company whose stock sells for $30 per share that pays an annual dividend of $3 per share has a dividend yield of 10%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is the most widely used indicator of the overall condition of the U.S. stock market. It is a price-weighted average of 30 blue chip stocks, primarily industrial stocks, traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The stocks are chosen by the editors of The Wall Street Journal, which is published by Dow Jones & Company.
Earnings growth is a measure of growth in a company’s net income over a specific period, often one year.
The government expenditure multiplier captures the impact and consequences of a change in government spending. When the government expenditure multiplier is zero it means that GDP is unchanged from where it started, but government spending has risen by $1 and private spending has fallen by $1.
The Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA, also known as Ginnie Mae) is a U.S. government-owned
corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA is one of several government agencies permitted to issue debt for sale to the investing public.
Gross domestic product (GDP) is a basic measure of a country’s economic performance and is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.
An initial public offering (IPO) is a company’s first sale of stock to the public.
The International Monetary Fund is an organization set up in 1944 to lower trade barriers between countries, stabilize currencies by monitoring the foreign exchange systems of member countries, and lend money to developing nations.
Mortgage-backed securities are debt issues backed by a pool of mortgages. Investors receive payments from the interest and principal payments made on the underlying mortgages.
Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.
Return on capital is a measure of how effectively a company uses the money, owned or borrowed, that has been invested in its operations.
Return on equity (ROE) measures a company’s efficiency at generating profits from shareholders’ equity.
Return on investment (ROI) is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of investments. ROI is calculated by dividing the return of an investment by the cost of the investment. The result is expressed as a percentage or ratio.
“Risk-off” is when investors become more cautious and take money out of the market, not being willing to risk it, thus risk off.
“Risk-on” is when investors are seeking the potentially higher returns of riskier assets and put money back in the market willing to risk the money, thus risk on.
The S&P 500 Index includes 500 of the United States’ largest stocks from a broad variety of industries. The Index is unmanaged but is a commonly used measure of common stock total return performance.
Sovereign debt is government debt. Under the doctrine of sovereign immunity, creditors cannot force the repayment of sovereign debt. It is subject to compulsory rescheduling, interest rate reduction, or even repudiation. The only recourse available to creditors is threat of the loss of credibility and lowering of the country’s sovereign debt rating, which may make future borrowing more difficult.
Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company.
World’s Best Growth Companies (WBGCs) are defined by Wasatch as companies outside the United States that we believe possess an identifiable, sustainable competitive advantage, are well managed, undervalued and are producing above average earnings growth relative to their industry and country of origin.

WASATCH FUNDS — OPERATING EXPENSES (UNAUDITED) | MARCH 31, 2012 | |
| ||
|
EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of Wasatch Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Wasatch Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended March 31, 2012.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, based upon the actual total return of the fund during the most recent six month period ended March 31, 2012. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 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.
In addition, the Funds charge a $15.00 IRA distribution fee, a $12.50 IRA annual maintenance fee and a $15.00 fee for redemptions paid by wire. To the extent these fees apply to your account, your expenses paid during the period would be higher and your ending account value would be lower than the amounts shown in the table below.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLEFOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses
based on a 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 Wasatch Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
In addition, the Funds charge a $15.00 IRA distribution fee, a $12.50 IRA annual maintenance fee and a $15.00 fee for redemptions paid by wire. To the extent these fees apply to your account, your expenses paid during the period would be higher and your ending account value would be lower than the amounts shown in the table below. If another fund’s fees differ from those listed above, your expenses paid and your ending account value could be higher or lower than those of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption 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.
A Fund’s annualized expense ratio may vary as a result of various factors including expenses that are not reimbursable under the contractual agreement between the Fund and the Advisor such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment related costs, dividend expense on short sales, and extraordinary expenses. The Long/Short and Income funds have no contractual limitation on expenses.

1. ORGANIZATION
Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and consists of 19 series or funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Ultra Growth Fund, World Innovators Fund, Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund (“Income Fund”) (sub-advised), and Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (“U.S. Treasury Fund”) (sub-advised) are each diversified funds. The Emerging India Fund, Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, Global Opportunities Fund and Long/Short Fund are non-diversified funds. Each Fund maintains its own investment objective.
On November 9, 2011, the Trust re-designated the shares of the Funds into Investor Class shares effective January 31, 2012, and authorized and designated a new Institutional Class of shares in the Funds. Currently, only three funds offer Institutional Class shares: Wasatch Core Growth Fund, Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund and Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund, which commenced operations on January 31, 2012. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution and service charges, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. The Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement with Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Wasatch”) as investment advisor.
The Core Growth, Emerging India, Emerging Markets Small Cap, Frontier Emerging Small Countries, Global Opportunities, Heritage Growth, International Growth, International Opportunities, Large Cap Value, Long/Short, Micro Cap, Micro Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Strategic Income, Ultra Growth, and World Innovators Funds are referred to herein as the “Equity Funds.”
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant policies related to investments of the Funds held at March 31, 2012. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Valuation of Securities — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 15.
Foreign Currency Translations — Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend income are translated into U.S. dollars using the current prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities is reflected as a component of such gains
or losses. Transactions in foreign denominated assets may involve greater risks than domestic transactions.
At March 31, 2012, the foreign currencies held by the Funds were as follows (amounts in U.S. dollars):

Investment in Securities and Related Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the ex-dividend

|
date based on when the Fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Bond discount and premiums are amortized using the interest method. To the extent dividends received from Real Estate Investment Trust securities include return of capital distributions; such distributions are recorded as income, and adjusted accordingly for tax purposes.
Expenses — The Funds contract for various services on a collective basis. Most expenses are directly attributable to each Fund and therefore are charged accordingly. Expenses that are not directly attributable to one or more Funds are allocated among applicable Funds on an equitable and consistent basis considering such things as the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds.
Use of Management Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, however, the risk of loss is expected to be remote.
Redemption Fees — The Funds deduct a fee of 2.00% from redemption proceeds on shares of the Funds held 60 days or less. Redemption fees retained by the Funds are credited to additional paid-in capital.
New Accounting Pronouncements — In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-03 “Reconsideration of Effective Control of Repurchase Agreements.” ASU 2011-03 is an amendment to Topic 860 “Transfers and Servicing.” These amendments simplify the accounting for repurchase agreements by eliminating the requirement that the transferor demonstrate it has adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement assets. As a result, more arrangements could be accounted for as secured borrowings rather than sales. The guidance applies to public and nonpublic companies and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-03 and its impact on the financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.
Other — Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as certain shareholder servicing fees.
3. SECURITIESAND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase and the fund to resell the obligation at an agreed upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be at least equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
Short Sales — The Long/Short Fund, the Strategic Income Fund and to a lesser extent the other Equity Funds may enter into short sales whereby a fund sells a security it generally does not own (the security is borrowed), in anticipation of a decline in the security’s price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of the short liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. If a Fund shorts a security when also holding a long position in the security (a “short against the box”), as the security’s price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position’s decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security’s price rises. A Fund realizes a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the counterparty by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from security purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The Funds are liable to the buyer for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are an expense of the Funds. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions.

4. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Currency Contracts — The Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts to settle planned purchases or sales of securities or to protect against a possible loss resulting from the adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency involved in an underlying transaction. Foreign currency contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a foreign currency contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Schedule of Investments. In addition, a fund could be exposed to a credit risk if a counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably. In connection with these contracts, the Funds may segregate cash and/or securities in a sufficient amount as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.
Options Transactions — The Equity Funds and the Income Fund may buy and sell put and call options and write covered put and call options, including over-the-counter options, on portfolio securities where the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of another party. Options are a type of derivative financial instrument. The Funds may invest in derivative financial instruments, including options, in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. The risk in writing a call option is that a fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that a fund may incur a loss if the market
price of the security decreases and the option is exercised.
The risk in buying an option is that a fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. A fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. A fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of written options.
5. DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for all Funds, except for dividends from net investment income in five funds. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund declares and pays dividends monthly. The Large Cap Value, Long/Short, Strategic Income, and U.S. Treasury Funds declare and pay dividends quarterly. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction (tax equalization).
To the extent these book and tax differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end
of the fiscal year among additional paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss), and undistributed net realized gains (losses) on investments and foreign currency translations.

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders. The Funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2008. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total of amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was signed by the President of the United States of America. The Modernization Act modernizes several tax provisions related to Regulated Investment Companies (“RICs”) and their shareholders. One key change made by the Modernization Act includes that capital losses will generally retain their character as short-term or long-term and may be carried forward indefinitely. Generally, the Modernization Act is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010.
As of March 31, 2012, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities on a tax basis were as follows:

Capital loss carryforwards noted below may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future taxable gains distributions. Under the Modernization Act, a Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused.
Capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2011 with no expiration are as follows:
Fund | Short Term | |||
Emerging India Fund | $ | 71,305 |
Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year have been elected by the Funds to be treated as being incurred on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Investment Advisory Fees, Expense Limitations — As the Funds’ investment advisor, the Advisor receives a monthly fee calculated on average daily net assets. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse certain Funds should a Fund’s operating expenses exceed a specified annual limitation through at least January 31, 2013. If operating expenses are less than the specified expense limit for the Fund, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of the fees waived or reduced to the

extent that the operating expenses and the amounts reimbursed do not exceed such expense limit for the Fund, under the period of the agreement (currently the period for the 12 months commencing January 31, 2012). Such reimbursement shall be paid only while the expense limitation agreement is in effect and only if such amount paid, together with all other amounts reimbursed under this agreement in the fiscal year, does not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation. All amounts not recovered at the end of the period expire on January 31, 2013. On November 9, 2011, the Board of Trustees and the Advisor agreed to a reduction in the advisory fee for the Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund from 1.50% to 1.00% effective January 31, 2012. Additionally, the Advisor and the Funds executed an amended and restated expense limitation agreement, wherein the Advisor contractually agreed to an expense limitation of 1.50% on the Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund effective January 31, 2012, and continuing through at least January 31, 2013. Ordinary operating expenses exclude any interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. The costs of the Proxy Statement related to the identification and shareholder approval of Trustee Nominees were treated as extraordinary expenses. The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights. Investment advisory fees and fees waived, if any, for the period ended March 31, 2012 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Investment advisory fee and expense limitation annual rates are shown below.

Payments by Former Service Provider — BISYS Fund Services, Inc. (“BISYS”) is a former service provider to the Large Cap Value Fund, Long/Short Fund and Income Fund. In August 2010, these funds received a one-time payment from the BISYS Fair Fund (a fund established pursuant to a settlement between the SEC and BISYS that requires, among other things, a distribution of settlement monies from the Fair Fund to benefit affected mutual funds). The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights.

11. RESTRICTED SECURITIES
The Funds may own investments that were purchased through private placement transactions or under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and cannot be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act or may be limited due to certain restrictions. These securities are generally deemed to be illiquid and are valued at fair value as determined by a designated Pricing Committee, comprised of personnel of the Advisor, with oversight by the Board of Trustees and in accordance with Board-approved Pricing Policies and Procedures. If and when such securities are registered, the costs of registering such securities are paid by the issuer. At March 31, 2012, the Funds held the following restricted securities:

The remaining commitment amounts at March 31, 2012 were $400,000, $360,000 and $40,000, respectively. Securities held by the Funds have been designated to meet these purchase commitments.
In December 2005, the Small Cap Growth and Ultra Growth Funds entered into subscription agreements to acquire limited partnership interests in Greenspring Global Partners III-B, L.P. The remaining commitment amounts at March 31, 2012 were $165,000 per Fund.

13. LINEOF CREDIT
The Equity Funds opened two lines of credit totaling $75,000,000, one of which is $25,000,000 uncommitted, and the other of which is $50,000,000 committed, with State Street Bank and Trust Company on June 4, 2007 (together, the “Line”). The Line is for temporary or emergency purposes such as to provide liquidity for shareholder redemptions. The Equity Funds incur commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the committed part of the Line, and interest expense to the extent of amounts drawn (borrowed) under the entire Line. Interest is based on the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin, or (b) the overnight London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin. Commitment fees are pro-rated among the Equity Funds based upon relative average net assets. Interest expense is charged directly to a fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by the Fund.

14. PRINCIPAL RISKS
Market and Credit Risk — In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Inflation Risk — Inflation risk is the possibility that inflation will reduce the purchasing power of a currency, and subsequently reduce the value of a security or asset, and may result in rising interest rates. Inflation is the overall upward price movement of goods and services in an economy that causes the value of a currency to decline.
Interest Rate Risk — Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values. Interest rate risk should be modest for shorter-term securities, moderate for intermediate-term securities and high for longer-term securities. Generally, an increase in the average maturity of a fund will make it more sensitive to interest rate risk. The interest rate is the amount charged, expressed as a percentage of principal, by a lender to a borrower for the use of assets.
Foreign Currency Risk — If a fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. This also includes the risk associated with higher transaction costs, delayed settlements, currency controls and adverse economic developments related to foreign investments.
Region Risk — The Funds invest in equity and fixed income securities of non-U.S. issuers. Although the Funds maintain diversified investment portfolios, political or economic developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. These risks are exaggerated for securities of issuers tied economically to emerging and frontier market countries. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an adverse effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.
Shareholder Concentration Risk — A significant portion of the net assets of the International Opportunities Fund is owned by a group of shareholders advised by a common investment advisor. If this group of shareholders simultaneously redeems on the advice of their investment advisor, Fund expenses may increase and performance may be materially affected. However, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the International Opportunities Fund should its operating expenses exceed 2.25% through at least January 31, 2013.
15. SECURITIES VALUATION
Equity securities (common and preferred stock) — Securities are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued using a commercial pricing service at the last quoted sales price taken from the primary market in which each security trades and, with respect to equity securities traded on NASDAQ, such securities are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) or last sales price if no NOCP is available. If there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a given day, then the security is valued at the most recent bid price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service. In some instances, particularly on foreign exchanges, an official close or evaluated price may be used if the pricing service is unable to provide the last trade or most recent bid price. To the extent that these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 16). Additionally, a Fund’s investments are valued at fair value by the Pricing Committee if the Advisor determines that an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security’s primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the Fund’s share price is calculated. Significant events include, but are not limited to the following: significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant governmental actions; and
128
Table of Contents

| ||
|
major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Pricing Committee determines the fair value of affected securities by considering factors including, but not limited to: index options and futures traded subsequent to the close; American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) or other related receipts; currency spot or forward markets that trade after pricing of the foreign exchange; other derivative securities traded after the close such as Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts (“SPDRs”) and other exchange traded funds (“ETFs”); and alternative market quotes on the affected securities. When applicable, the Funds use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to assist in adjusting the valuation of foreign securities. When a Fund uses this fair value pricing method, the values assigned to the Fund’s foreign securities may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges and the securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These valuation procedures generally apply equally to long or short equity positions in a Fund. However, if there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a given day for a short equity position, then the security is valued at the most recent ask price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service.
Corporate debt securities — Investments are valued at current market value by a commercial pricing service, or by using the last sale or bid price based on observable inputs. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Although most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where observable inputs are not available, they are categorized as level 3.
Short-term notes — Investments maturing in 60 days or less at the time of purchase, are generally valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that the amortized cost method would not represent fair value, in which case the securities are marked-to-market. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Asset-backed securities — Investments are priced using the closing bid as supplied by a commercial pricing service based on observable inputs. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications, new issue data, monthly payment information and collateral performance. Although most asset-backed securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where observable inputs are not available, they are categorized as level 3.
U.S. government issuers — Investments are priced using the closing bid as supplied by a commercial pricing service based on observable inputs. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Although most U.S. government bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where observable inputs are not available, they are categorized as level 3.
Derivative instruments — Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If there are no sales on the primary exchange or market on a given day, then the option is valued at the most recent bid price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service.
Restricted securities — If market quotations are not readily available for the Funds’ investments in securities such as restricted securities, private placements, securities for which trading has been halted or other illiquid securities, these investments are valued at fair value in accordance with Board-approved Pricing Policies and Procedures by the Joint Pricing Committee of the Advisor and the Funds (“Pricing Committee”) with oversight by the Board of Trustees. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. For each applicable investment that is fair valued, the Pricing Committee considers, to the extent applicable, various factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of the company or limited partnership, operating results, prices paid in follow-on rounds, comparable companies in the public market, the nature and duration of the restrictions for holding the securities, and other relevant factors. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2012, the aggregate amount of fair valued securities, excluding any foreign securities fair valued pursuant to a systematic fair valuation model, as a percentage of net assets for the Funds was as follows:
Core Growth Fund | — | |||
Emerging India Fund | — | |||

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Funds use various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Ÿ | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
Ÿ | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The inputs may include quoted prices for the identical investment on an inactive market, prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
Ÿ | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ 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 availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether a security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of March 31, 2012 in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities:

BOARD CONSIDERATIONSFOR ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At a meeting held on November 9, 2011 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory and Service Contract (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) on behalf of each series of the Trust (other than the Wasatch Emerging India Fund and the Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund) (each a “Fund”); the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Hoisington Investment Management Company (“HIMCO”) on behalf of the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (the “U.S. Treasury Fund”); and the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc. (“1st Source”) on behalf of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) (the foregoing sub-advisory agreements are each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and HIMCO and 1st Source are each a “Sub-Advisor”). The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the advisory and service contract between the Trust and the Advisor on behalf of the Wasatch Emerging India Fund at a meeting held on February 14-15, 2011 and such advisory agreement was not up for renewal at the Meeting. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, also unanimously approved the Advisory and Service Contract between the Trust and the Advisor on behalf of the Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund and the Board’s considerations are set forth below.
In preparation for their role in the evaluation of the Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and HIMCO on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and 1st Source on behalf of the Income Fund, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions on November 1, 2011 and November 8, 2011. In addition to the executive sessions, the Independent Trustees also met at their quarterly meetings as well as at other times between the quarterly meetings with management. In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees took into account the information provided and the knowledge gained from these meetings. At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Trustees were joined by independent legal counsel. In advance of the November meetings, the Board and independent legal counsel received materials and other information which outlined, among other things:
Ÿ | the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements, including the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and each Sub-Advisor; |
Ÿ | the organization and business operations of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors, including the experience of persons who have managed and who will manage each respective Fund; |
Ÿ | the profitability of the Advisor from serving as advisor to each respective Fund (plus profitability analysis for advisors to unaffiliated investment companies); |
Ÿ | the management fees of the Advisor, including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable, unaffiliated funds prepared by an independent third party and the Advisor’s fees for other clients; |
Ÿ | the sub-advisory fees of each Sub-Advisor with respect to the U.S. Treasury Fund and Income Fund (including the respective Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule for other clients); |
Ÿ | the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons with the expense ratios of comparable, unaffiliated funds compiled by an independent third party; and |
Ÿ | each respective Fund’s past performance plus such Fund’s performance compared to other unaffiliated funds compiled by independent third parties and with recognized benchmarks. |
As the Independent Trustees reviewed the materials, they also requested in writing (through their independent legal counsel) and received supplemental information and responses to various questions. In addition to the material provided by the Advisor, the Independent Trustees also received from independent counsel a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Independent Trustees under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as well as the general principles of relevant state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the Board in voting on advisory agreements.

During the executive sessions noted above, the Independent Trustees met with independent legal counsel to discuss, among other things, the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the information provided, and the Independent Trustees’ duties in reviewing and approving advisory contracts. The Independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, also reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts. The information provided for the Meeting supplements the information the Board receives throughout the year regarding the Funds’ performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition, trade execution and sales activity. The Independent Trustees considered the legal advice provided by legal counsel and the materials provided, and relied upon their own business judgment and the knowledge they gained from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year of the Funds, the Advisor, the Sub-Advisors and the services they provided in determining the factors to be considered and the weight to be given to such factors in evaluating advisory agreements. Each Independent Trustee may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement and applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Trustees’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
A. | NATURE, EXTENTAND QUALITYOF SERVICES |
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ services, the Independent Trustees reviewed information concerning the types of services (advisory and non-advisory or administrative services) that the Advisor and Sub-Advisors provide to the applicable Fund; the performance record of the applicable Fund; and information describing the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ organization and business. In connection with their service as Independent Trustees of the Trust, the Independent Trustees also periodically have met with the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ personnel and have evaluated their professional experience, qualifications and credentials as well as their investment approach and research process. The Independent Trustees considered the compensation arrangements of portfolio managers to evaluate the ability of the Advisor to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance without providing an incentive for taking undue risks.
In addition to the foregoing, in light of the regulatory emphasis on compliance, in reviewing the services that have been provided to each Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ compliance and regulatory history.
In their review of services, the Independent Trustees also evaluated the quality of administrative or non-advisory services provided. The terms of the Advisory Agreement provide that the Advisor shall administer the Trust’s affairs to the
extent requested by and subject to the supervision of the Board for the period and terms of the contract. In this regard, the Advisor provides business, administrative, compliance, marketing and other services required to operate the Funds, such as assistance with preparation and filing of regulatory and tax reports, preparation and distribution of prospectuses and shareholder reports, provision of information to Fund trustees, analysis to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, valuation of portfolio securities, and oversight of the performance of the Funds’ service providers (e.g., administrator, fund accountant, transfer agent and custodian). The Advisor also pays for office space and facilities for each Fund.
With respect to the Sub-Advisors, it was noted that the Sub-Advisory Agreements are essentially agreements for portfolio management services only and the Sub-Advisors were not expected to supply other significant administrative services. The Trustees further noted that the Advisor, based on its evaluation of the Sub-Advisors, recommended the renewal of each Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based on their review, the Independent Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements were satisfactory on behalf of each applicable Fund.
B. | THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCEOFTHE FUNDS |
In evaluating each Fund’s performance, the Trustees reviewed both short-term and long-term performance of each Fund relative to its peer group and relevant benchmarks. More specifically, the Independent Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report prepared by an unaffiliated third party comparing the respective Fund’s total return for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five-, and 10-year periods ended August 31, 2011 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing timeframes) compared to the performance of unaffiliated funds with similar investment objectives or classifications (a “Peer Group”) and a benchmark assigned by the unaffiliated third party (the “Benchmark”) for the prescribed periods. The Independent Trustees also reviewed materials reflecting the respective Fund’s historic performance for the quarter, one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2011 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing timeframes together with the average annual return since inception for Funds with a shorter duration) compared to its respective benchmarks and unaffiliated funds in its investment category. In addition, the Independent Trustees received analyst reports prepared by a second unaffiliated party for the following Funds: Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Ultra Growth Fund. This information supplemented the performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings as well as at other meetings or executive sessions during the year. Further, the Independent Trustees also recognized the limitations on some of the usefulness of the performance
140

| ||
|
comparison information as the closest Peer Group for a Fund may not adequately reflect the Wasatch Fund’s investment strategies and may be invested in sectors or industries in which the applicable Fund has limited or no exposure, including the Micro Cap Fund and Micro Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Micro Cap Funds”). As the Peer Group assigned to the Micro Cap Funds appears to generally focus on companies with larger market capitalizations than those sought by the Micro Cap Funds, the Independent Trustees also reviewed the Micro Cap Funds’ performance compared to a custom peer group provided by the Advisor. In reviewing the performance information, the Independent Trustees recognized that the snapshot of performance information may differ significantly based on the time period being measured. Further, the Independent Trustees recognized that the investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Wasatch Funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable Fund and the performance of that Fund during the shareholder’s investment period. Based on their review of performance, the Independent Board Members determined the following:
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund have had generally favorable performance, outperforming their respective Benchmark for the one-, two- and three-year periods ended August 31, 2011. The performance of the Core Growth Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund over time has been generally favorable. They have outperformed their respective Benchmark in each of the last five years ended August 31, 2011 and for the 10-year period ended August 31, 2011. Although the Global Opportunities Fund has been operating for only two years, the Fund has had favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark for the one- and two-year periods ended August 31, 2011. The World Innovators Fund has had generally favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark in the last four years ended August 31, 2011. The Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, Long/Short Fund and Strategic Income Fund similarly have had generally favorable performance over time. These Funds have outperformed their respective Benchmark for each of the last five years ended August 31, 2011. The International Opportunities Fund also has had generally favorable performance, outperforming its Benchmark for each of the last five-years ended August 31, 2011, except for the most recent one-year period ended August 31, 2011.
The Independent Trustees further noted that the investment performance over time of the following Funds also has been satisfactory. In this regard, the Independent Trustees noted that although the Micro Cap Value Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one- and two-year periods ended August 31, 2011, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark in the longer three-, four- and five-year periods. Although the Micro Cap Fund outperformed its Benchmark over the 10-year period, the Fund has underperformed its Benchmark in more recent periods. As noted above, the Board, however, recognized some of the limitations of the Peer Group for the Micro Cap Funds and that the performance of the Micro Cap Fund was more favorable when compared to the custom peer group of other micro cap
funds. Although the Small Cap Value Fund has underperformed its Benchmark in recent years, the Fund has improved its performance outperforming its Benchmark for the one-year period ended August 31, 2011. The Ultra Growth Fund has had some mixed results during its tenure. However, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark in the two-, three-, and 10-year periods ended August 31, 2011. The Income Fund’s performance has been satisfactory, providing performance generally comparable to its Benchmark during the last five years and the 10-year period ended August 31, 2011. Although the Large Cap Value Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one-, two- and three-year periods ended August 31, 2011, the Large Cap Value Fund has outperformed its Benchmark over the longer periods.
C. | FEES, EXPENSESAND PROFITABILITY |
1. | Fees and Expenses |
The Independent Trustees considered the fees of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors. In their evaluation of fees and expenses, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Advisor’s management fees and expense ratios for each Fund in absolute terms as well as with comparisons of fees and expenses of funds with similar objectives. In this regard, the Independent Trustees reviewed and considered, among other things, comparisons of each respective Fund’s actual management fees, total expenses (including and excluding 12b-1/non-12b-1 service fees), and non-management expenses (such as transfer agency, custodian, administrative and accounting fees) with those of unaffiliated funds in its Peer Group, compiled by an independent third party. In addition, with respect to the Micro Cap Funds, the Independent Trustees also reviewed comparisons of the respective Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio with those of a custom peer group provided by the Advisor. In reviewing fees, the Independent Trustees also considered the expense limitation agreement provided by the Advisor for the Funds, the amounts the Advisor has reimbursed to the Funds for the last three fiscal years (if any) and any proposed changes to the expense limitation agreement (as described below). In their evaluation of the fees, the Independent Trustees considered, but were not limited to, the following factors:
With respect to the Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, such Funds had advisory fees and expense ratios above the median of their Peer Group. Although the advisory fee of the Small Cap Growth Fund was also above the median of its Peer Group, its total expense ratio was equal to the median. In evaluating the fees for these Funds, the Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the nature of the asset class (small- or mid-cap), the Advisor’s expertise in the asset class, the due diligence needed to evaluate smaller companies and the capacity constraints of the asset class. In their considerations, the Independent Trustees recognized the Advisor’s expertise in the small cap and micro cap arena and the research intensive approach the Advisor follows in evaluating companies in this category and the related costs incurred. The Independent Trustees also considered the
141
Table of Contents
WASATCH FUNDS — Supplemental Information (continued) | ||
| ||
|
inherent capacity constraints with small cap and micro cap investing which, in turn, limits the revenue potential from these Funds for the Advisor. More specifically, the Independent Trustees recognized that it is difficult to replicate the performance of small cap and micro cap funds at higher asset levels. Accordingly, the Advisor has continued its strategy to close Funds to new and/or existing investors as necessary to limit asset size and protect shareholder performance and the integrity of a Fund’s investment strategy. The Funds that have been closed to new and sometimes existing investors from time to time in the past include: the Core Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Ultra Growth Fund and World Innovators Fund. The Independent Trustees seek to encourage the Advisor’s practice of closing Funds when necessary or appropriate to maintain or enhance performance. However, the Independent Trustees recognized that this practice also limits the Advisor’s ability to earn fees on a larger asset base and exposes the Advisor to reduced revenues from asset outflows if a Fund is closed to, or otherwise limits, new investments. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees also considered the Funds’ performance as described above when evaluating fees. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor has agreed to reduce the advisory fee of the Small Cap Value Fund to 1.00% of average daily net assets as well as to reduce the expense cap to 1.50% of average daily net assets (subject to certain limitations). Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.
With respect to the Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, and International Opportunities Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the advisory fees and expense ratios were above the median of their respective Peer Group. As with the above Funds, the Independent Trustees considered any capacity constraints of these Funds which limit their asset size. The Independent Trustees also noted that the international aspect of these Funds adds an additional cost to the Advisor’s research-intensive investment program to cover an international landscape. In addition, the Independent Trustees recognized, as noted above, the generally favorable performance of the Funds, as described above. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.
With respect to the Core Growth Fund, the Independent Trustees noted the advisory fee was slightly above, but the total expense ratio was below the median for its Peer Group. The Trustees also considered the capacity constraints of the Fund, the research-intensive approach of the Advisor, and the performance of the Fund. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.
With respect to the Heritage Growth Fund and Strategic Income Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the advisory fees and expense ratios of these Funds were below the median of their respective Peer Group. With respect to the Long/Short Fund and Income Fund the Independent
Trustees noted that the advisory fee was above the median of their respective Peer Group, but the total expense ratio was below the median. Given their investment strategies, these Funds are also generally not subject to capacity constraints limiting the assets size of the Funds upon which advisory fees are calculated. Further, the Independent Trustees considered the Funds’ performance as outlined above. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.
With respect to the Ultra Growth Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the advisory fee and expense ratio were above the median for its Peer Group. The Trustees considered the capacity constraints applicable to the Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered the Fund’s performance. The Trustees further noted that the advisory fee and expense limitation of the Fund had been reduced in 2010. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fee for the foregoing Fund was acceptable.
With respect to the Large Cap Value Fund, World Innovators Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund, the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios were above the median for their respective Peer Group. While the World Innovators Fund may experience some capacity constraints, the other Funds should not. As with the other Funds, the Trustees considered the fees in light of the Funds’ performance as outlined above. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.
2. | Fees Charged to Other Advisor and Sub-Advisor Clients |
In reviewing fees, the Independent Trustees also compared the advisory fees to the fees the Advisor assesses other types of clients, including institutional and high net worth separate accounts, private investment companies, and a foreign fund sub-advised by the Advisor. Currently, the Advisor manages separate account client assets in styles similar to those used for certain Funds, including the Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Ultra Growth Fund. With respect to separate accounts, the weighted average fees for these accounts are generally lower than the comparable Fund (except the fees are the same in the case of the Heritage Growth Fund and Ultra Growth Fund). The Independent Trustees considered the differences in the product types, including the services provided, noting that the Advisor seeks to charge a higher fee to clients who require a higher degree of service. In this regard, the Independent Trustees have noted that the services provided to a Fund in managing and operating a registered investment company are more extensive than those provided to a separately managed account. The Advisor provides services to each Fund that extend beyond the portfolio management services provided to its separate account clients. As described in more detail above, these services include business, administrative, operational expertise (such as portfolio accounting, pricing, foreign
142

|
registrations, and foreign filings), oversight of third party service providers (including sub-advisors), trustee support, marketing and other services required to operate a Fund. Further, the Independent Trustees recognized that each Fund operates in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive compliance. Such responsibilities generally are not required to the same extent for separate accounts. In addition, the Trustees considered the fees the Advisor assesses for other types of clients, including wrap accounts, uniform managed accounts, model accounts and sub-advisory accounts in which the fees may be lower but the services provided are also reduced. Similarly, with respect to the private investment companies, such companies are not generally subject to the extensive regulatory scheme required of operating registered investment companies such as the Funds, and therefore the services required differ. The Independent Trustees further noted the advisory fee arrangement of the private investment companies with the Advisor generally includes a performance fee and therefore its fee structure differs significantly from that of the Funds. In light of the foregoing, the Independent Trustees determined that the nature and number of services provided to operate a Fund merit higher fees than those of separate and other accounts.
In considering the fees of the Sub-Advisors for the Income Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the pricing schedule the respective Sub-Advisor charges for investment management services for other clients. In this regard, the sub-advisory fee for the U.S. Treasury Fund was at the lower end of HIMCO’s fee schedule. Similarly, the sub-advisory fee for the Income Fund was at the low end of fees 1st Source assesses for institutional accounts. The Independent Trustees also noted that the sub-advisory fees were established through arm’s length negotiations between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors, which are unaffiliated with the Advisor.
3. | Profitability of the Advisor |
The Independent Trustees reviewed pro forma profitability information for the Advisor derived from its relationship with each Fund for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010 and estimated profitability for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Trustees reviewed the methodology utilized to allocate revenue and expenses of the Advisor among the Funds. In considering profitability, the Independent Trustees recognized the inherent limitations in determining profitability which may be affected by many factors, including the allocation of expenses across multiple investment products served by the Advisor. The allocation of research and personnel expenses is also particularly difficult given the Advisor’s shared research culture. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor is privately held and is taxed as a Subchapter S corporation, thus certain expenses had to be attributed and/or estimated.
In addition to reviewing the Advisor’s profitability, the Trustees also reviewed the Advisor’s relative profitability compared to publicly available information concerning
unaffiliated publicly traded investment managers. However, the Independent Trustees recognized the difficulties in comparing the profitability of various advisors given that, among other things, many of these managers are much larger than the Advisor, have different lines of business, may employ different expense allocations and charges, the profitability derived from individual funds or product lines is not generally publicly available and the profitability information of managers that is available may not be representative of the industry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor’s profitability is within a reasonable range compared to the peer group of unaffiliated advisors. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees were satisfied that the Advisor’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable in light of the services provided.
With respect to the Sub-Advisors, although a profitability analysis was not available, the Independent Trustees received certain financial statements of the Sub-Advisors. Given that the Sub-Advisors’ fees are at the low end of their respective fee schedules, the fact that the sub-advisory fees are established through arm’s length negotiations, and the range of fees the Sub-Advisors assess to other clients, the Independent Trustees concluded that HIMCO’s and 1st Source’s profitability from the Sub-Advisor’s respective relationships with the U.S. Treasury Fund and Income Fund is not unreasonable.
In addition to the above, the Independent Trustees also considered that the Advisor benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby it receives brokerage and research services from brokers that execute a Fund’s purchases and sales of securities, as described in further detail below.
D. | ECONOMIESOF SCALEAND WHETHER FEE LEVELSREFLECT THESE ECONOMIESOF SCALE |
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Trustees recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision. One method to help shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. The advisory fee schedules of the Funds, however, do not have breakpoints because, as noted above, the Independent Trustees recognized the capacity constraints of the Funds investing in small- and micro-cap companies. Because the Advisor generally seeks to maintain the assets of these Funds at a level that it believes can be managed effectively, the potential for the assets to grow beyond these levels to achieve economies of scale is limited. Further, with respect to the Funds without such capacity constraints, the Independent Trustees recognized the Advisor’s position that to the extent economies of scale exist, the proposed level of advisory fee reflects such economies of scale. Considering the factors above, the Independent Trustees concluded the absence of breakpoints was acceptable and that such economies as exist are adequately reflected in the Advisor’s fee structure.

E. | INDIRECT BENEFITS |
In evaluating fees, the Independent Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Advisor or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered that the Advisor benefits from soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives research from brokers that execute an applicable Fund’s brokerage transactions. The Advisor may receive soft dollar benefits from each Fund, subject to the exceptions noted below for the sub-advised Funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the soft dollar arrangements including, among other things, the commissions paid, the research credits earned and the services provided. Further, the Independent Trustees at prior meetings have had extensive discussions regarding the soft dollar arrangements. The Independent Trustees recognized that soft dollar arrangements provide benefits to the Advisor derived from a Fund’s transactions by obtaining research that it would otherwise have to acquire with hard dollars. Accordingly, the Advisor’s profitability would be somewhat lower if it did not receive the research services pursuant to soft dollar arrangements. The Independent Trustees took these “fall out” benefits, if any, into account when reviewing the level of advisory fees. With respect to the Sub-Advisors, the Independent Trustees recognized that the Sub-Advisors currently do not have soft dollar arrangements on behalf of their respective Funds.
F. | ANNUAL APPROVALOF ADVISORYAND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS |
The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the 1st Source Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Income Fund and the HIMCO Sub-Advisory Agreement for the U.S. Treasury Fund, were fair and reasonable, that the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each respective Fund, and that the Advisory Agreement should be approved on behalf of each Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved on behalf of the Income Fund and the U.S. Treasury Fund, respectively.
BOARD CONSIDERATIONSFORTHE ADVISORY AGREEMENTFORTHE WASATCH FRONTIER EMERGING SMALL COUNTRIES FUND
At a meeting held on November 9, 2011 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory and Service Contract (the “New Fund Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) on behalf of the Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund (the “New Fund”).
To assist the Board in its evaluation of the New Fund Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees received
materials and other information, with adequate time for careful review in advance of the meeting, which outlined, among other things:
Ÿ | the terms and conditions of the New Fund Advisory Agreement, including the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the New Fund by the Advisor; |
Ÿ | the organization and business operations of the Advisor, including the experience of persons who will manage the New Fund; |
Ÿ | the proposed management fees of the Advisor, including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable, unaffiliated funds prepared by an independent third party; |
Ÿ | the projected expenses of the New Fund, including comparisons with the expense ratios of comparable, unaffiliated funds compiled by an independent third party; |
Ÿ | the profitability of the Advisor for advisory services; and |
Ÿ | the soft dollar practices of the Advisor. |
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided, in advance of the meeting, a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Independent Trustees under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as well as the general principles of relevant state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the board in voting on advisory agreements.
During the previous day, the Independent Trustees also met privately with their legal counsel to review the Board’s duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider, among other things, the approval of the Advisory Agreement on behalf of the New Fund. With this background, the Independent Trustees considered the approval of the New Fund Advisory Agreement for the New Fund.
The Independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Independent Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to the New Fund, including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor; (b) the performance of the Advisor; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits estimated to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the New Fund grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect any such economies of scale.
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor, the Independent Trustees reviewed the information regarding the types of services (advisory and non-advisory or administrative) to be provided under the New Fund Advisory Agreement for the New Fund; narrative and statistical information concerning the Advisor’s performance record with other funds it advises and information describing the Advisor’s organization and

|
business. Further, given the Independent Trustees’ experience with other Wasatch Funds, the Independent Trustees noted that they were familiar with and have a good understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of the Advisor, including its research department and personnel as well as the professional experience, qualifications and credentials of the proposed portfolio managers for the New Fund. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees concluded that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the New Fund under the New Fund Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
With respect to investment performance, it was noted that because the New Fund had not commenced operations and did not have its own performance history, the Board reviewed and considered performance information regarding the Advisor’s past performance record with other funds.
In evaluating the proposed management fees and expenses, the Independent Trustees considered the New Fund’s proposed management fee and expected expense ratio in absolute terms and as compared with the fees and expenses of a peer group of comparable unaffiliated funds provided by an independent third party. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the expense limitation agreement provided by the Advisor on behalf of the New Fund. Although the Advisor does not currently manage other funds or separately managed accounts with the same investment style as for the New Fund, the Independent Trustees had reviewed the fees charged by the Advisor for non-mutual fund separate accounts and other types of clients, including wrap accounts, uniform managed accounts, model accounts and sub-advisory accounts in which the fees may be lower but the services provided are also reduced. The Independent Trustees recognized the differences in services provided to separately managed accounts and those required in operating and managing registered investment companies, such as the New Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered the costs of the research personnel-intensive approach followed by the Advisor, the expected costs of investing in emerging and frontier markets and the overall expense structure of the New Fund and peer group. Based upon this information, the Independent Trustees noted that the proposed advisory fee was the highest among the peer group but recognized the experience and quality of the advisory services provided by the Advisor and the expected expenses in operating this type of Fund with the Advisor’s research approach.
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Trustees also considered the profitability of the Advisor for its advisory activities to the Wasatch Funds. The Independent Trustees reviewed the Advisor’s profitability margin for the calendar year ended December 31, 2010 and estimated profitability for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011 and reviewed the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Trustees recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors, including the allocation of expenses. In addition to reviewing the Advisor’s profitability, the Trustees also reviewed the Advisor’s relative profitability compared to publicly available information concerning unaffiliated publicly traded investment managers. However, the Independent
Trustees recognized the difficulties in comparing the profitability of various advisors given that, among other things, many of these managers are much larger than the Advisor, have different lines of business, may employ different expense allocations and charges, the profitability derived from individual funds or product lines is not generally publicly available and the profitability information of managers that is available may not be representative of the industry. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor is privately held and is taxed as a Subchapter S corporation, thus certain expenses had to be attributed and/or estimated. Based on their review, the Trustees were satisfied that the Advisor’s level of profitability was not unreasonable in light of the services to be provided.
In reviewing compensation, the Independent Trustees noted that, similar to other Wasatch funds, the proposed advisory fee schedule for the New Fund did not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Independent Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be one way for the benefits of any economies of scale to be shared with investors. The Independent Trustees noted that most of the Wasatch Funds invest in small- and micro- cap securities, and that, traditionally, the Advisor has periodically closed certain equity funds at asset levels it believes are necessary or appropriate to manage the respective fund effectively. In this regard, the Independent Trustees are aware that it is more difficult to replicate performance in small-cap and micro-cap funds at larger asset sizes, and therefore a fund may be closed to new and/or existing shareholders. This practice enhances the Advisor’s focus on achieving performance by maintaining assets at levels it can effectively manage but may limit economies of scale derived from a larger asset base. The Independent Trustees also are aware that this practice may limit the Advisor’s profit potential from earning additional fees on a larger asset base and may expose the Advisor to reduced revenues from asset outflows when a fund is closed to investors. Considering the above, the Independent Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the New Fund’s advisory fee schedule was acceptable.
In evaluating fees, the Independent Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Advisor or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with the New Fund. In this regard, the Independent Trustees have reviewed information concerning the Advisor’s soft dollar arrangements, including its policies for allocating brokerage commissions in exchange for brokerage and research services. In light of their experience, the Independent Trustees are familiar with the Advisor’s soft dollar arrangements and recognize that the Advisor’s profitability may be lower if the Advisor was required to pay for this research with hard dollars.
The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the New Fund Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the Advisor’s fees are reasonable in light of the services expected to be provided to the New Fund, and that the New Fund Advisory Agreement should be approved.

Wasatch Funds provides reports to shareholders twice a year. The annual report is for the Funds’ fiscal year which ends September 30. The semi-annual report is for the six months or period ending March 31. Additionally, the Funds’ schedules of investments for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year are available to shareholders as described on page 139. These reports provide shareholders with important information that will help them evaluate the management and performance of their investments. It is the desire of Wasatch Funds to help shareholders stay in tune with their investments. If you have any questions about the information in this report, a shareholder services representative will be happy to assist you when you call 800.551.1700.
SCHEDULEOF INVESTMENTS
The holdings of each Wasatch Fund are detailed in the “Schedule of Investments.” This section provides a snapshot of the securities each Fund was invested in on the last day of the reporting period. The Wasatch Equity Funds invest primarily in Common Stocks of companies which are grouped together by industry. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities. The U.S. Treasury Fund invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. The Equity Funds will typically have only minor holdings in Short-Term Investments. At times the Funds may take temporary defensive positions by increasing cash or holdings in Short-Term Investments. Please see the prospectus under “Additional Information about the Funds.”
STATEMENTSOF ASSETSAND LIABILITIES
These financial statements show the Assets and Liabilities of a Fund on the last day of the reporting period. A Fund’s Assets include the value of securities owned, amounts receivable for purchases of Fund shares (capital shares receivable), securities sold, interest and dividends, prepaid expenses and other assets. Liabilities are amounts owed for shareholder redemptions (capital shares payable), securities purchased, investment advisory fees (payable to Advisor) and other payables. Totaling up the assets and subtracting the liabilities results in a Fund’s Net Assets.
Net Assets consist of capital stock, paid-in capital in excess of par, undistributed net investment income or loss, undistributed net realized gain or loss on investments and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Capital stock is stock authorized by a company’s charter and having par value, stated value or no par value. Par value is set by the company issuing the shares and has no relation to Net Asset Value. The par value of one share of each Wasatch Fund is $.01. Paid-in capital in excess of par is capital received from shareholders in exchange for Fund shares that exceeds the par value of the shares. For example, if you bought one share of a Fund for $10, $.01 would show as “Capital stock” on the books of the Fund, and $9.99 would be accounted for under “Paid-in capital in excess of par.” Undistributed net investment income or loss is the amount of net investment income or loss of a Fund since inception that has not been paid to shareholders as a dividend.
Undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments is the amount of net realized gains or losses generated by a Fund since inception that have not been distributed to shareholders in the form of a capital gain distribution. A gain or loss is realized when a security is sold by a Fund. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is the change in value from the purchase price of securities a Fund continues to hold.
The number of shares a Fund is authorized to sell can be found under Capital Stock Issued and Outstanding. Issued and outstanding indicates the number of shares owned by shareholders.
Net Asset Value (NAV), Redemption Price and Offering Price Per Share shows the value of one outstanding share of a Fund on the date of the report. A Fund’s share price (NAV) is calculated by dividing the value of all securities and other assets owned by a Fund, less the liabilities charged to that Fund, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The share price is calculated at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Please see Wasatch Funds’ prospectus for more information about how share prices are calculated. Information about how the share price is affected by a Fund’s operation can be found under “Financial Highlights” on page 148.
STATEMENTSOF OPERATIONS
Statements of Operations show investment income and expenses for each Fund as well as realized gains or losses from securities sold and the appreciation or depreciation in the value of a Fund’s holdings during the reporting period.
Investment Income shows Interest and Dividends earned from interest-bearing and dividend-paying securities in a Fund’s portfolio.
Expenses show the various fees and expenses paid out of a Fund’s assets such as the fee paid to Wasatch Advisors, the Funds’ investment advisor. Additional fees include shareholder servicing, fund administration and accounting, custody of fund assets, federal and state registration, legal counsel, auditing and trustees’ fees and other expenses. The Funds pay for printing and mailing statements, prospectuses, annual reports and semi-annual reports to shareholders.
Net Investment Income (Loss) is the amount of dividends and interest income earned on securities held by a Fund, less the Fund’s expenses.
Net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency translations is the net gain or loss on securities a Fund has sold. Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translations is the change in value of securities a Fund continues to hold.
Net gain (loss) on investments is the result of changes in the market value of securities a Fund has sold and securities it continues to hold.

Assets show the increase or decrease in a Fund’s net assets during the reporting period. Investment operations, dividends and capital share transactions affect a Fund’s net assets. Operations is a summary of the Statements of Operations. It includes investment income or loss, net realized gain or loss on investments and foreign currency translations a Fund has sold as well as appreciation or depreciation in the value of investments a Fund continues to hold.
Dividends are distributed by Wasatch Funds to sharehold-ers when Fund investments have earned income in excess of net expenses or when capital gains in excess of capital losses are realized from the sale of securities. Most shareholders choose to reinvest their dividends and capital gain distribu- tions. Each Fund is required by Internal Revenue Code regulations to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders in order to retain its status as a “regulated investment company.”
Capital share transactions are any transactions involving shares of a Fund, including the selling of Fund shares, shares issued by a Fund to shareholders for the reinvestment of dividends, and share redemptions.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Financial Highlights contain important historical operating information that you may find useful in making decisions or understanding the performance of your investment.
Net Asset Value (NAV) is defined under “Statements of Assets and Liabilities” on page 147. The difference between the Net asset value, beginning of period and the Net asset value, end of period in the Financial Highlights is the change in value of a Fund’s shares over the reporting period, but not its total return.
Income (loss) from investment operations shows how the share price was affected by a Fund’s operations on a per share basis. Net investment income (loss) is the per share
amount of dividends and interest income earned on securities held by a Fund, less the Fund’s expenses. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments is the per share increase or decrease in the value of securities a Fund holds or has sold during the reporting period. Gains or (losses) are realized when securities are sold. Gains or (losses) are unrealized when securities increase or decrease in value but are not sold.
Distributions are the per share amount a Fund paid to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains.
Total return is the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an investment over a stated period of time. A total return percentage includes both changes in unrealized and realized gains and income. For the purposes of calculating total return, it is assumed that dividends and distributions are reinvested at the share price on the ex-dividend date of the distribution. A FUND’S TOTAL RETURN CANNOT BE COMPUTED DIRECTLY FROM THE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS.
Ratios to Average Net Assets and Supplemental Data are provided to help you better understand your investment. Net assets, end of period, are the net assets of a Fund on the reporting date. Ratio of expenses to average net assets shows the total of a Fund’s operating expenses divided by its average net assets for the stated period before and after waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor, if any. Ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets shows a Fund’s net investment income (loss) divided by its average net assets for the stated period before and after waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor, if any. Portfolio turnover rate measures a Fund’s buying and selling activity during the reporting period. It is computed by dividing total purchases or sales, whichever is less, by the average monthly market value of a Fund’s portfolio securities. This calculation does not include securities with a maturity date of less than 12 months.
