LETTERTO SHAREHOLDERS — HERE BE DRAGONS? | ||||

|
Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA President of | DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
As the U.S. economic recovery approaches its sixth anniversary, prognosticators may want to borrow from the practice of medieval mapmakers. To depict areas beyond established frontiers, mapmakers drew colorful illustrations of dragons and other mythological creatures. The message was one of caution: No one knows what lies there. While today’s economic landscape may not be fraught with the perils of a months-long ocean voyage on a wind-powered vessel navigating in uncharted waters, the challenges facing investors are real. To be sure, there are many positive signs. Over the past year, the pace of the economic recovery in the U.S. has held relatively steady, the unemployment rate has continued to fall as new jobs have been created at a healthy clip, and most financial markets have stayed at elevated levels. At the same time, many economies around the globe are still struggling, short-term interest rates continue to hover near zero, the prices of various commodities have declined, energy prices in particular have plummeted, and the dollar has gained sharply against other world currencies. In numerous respects, the current situation is unlike that of any prior period. Similar to the explorers of old, we may be poised to discover whether or not there are dragons lurking beyond the horizon. |
ECONOMY
On the surface, the waters appear relatively calm and the wind is at our backs. Most financial markets have continued to hold their values or trend upward. U.S. economic data generally indicate that we’re still in a period of slow but steady growth.
The unemployment rate has resumed its decline, but the civilian labor force participation rate is somewhat concerning as it sits near its 37-year low. And new-job creation was disappointing in March. Nevertheless, for all of 2015, new jobs are expected to total more than three million, roughly the same as last year.
Inflation is expected to remain low, given the huge assist from declining energy prices, and is likely to stay below the U.S. Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. In addition, the housing market is expected to finish the year strong with gains in housing starts, rising sales of existing homes and a resurgence of first-time buyers.
The economies of Europe and Japan are more problematic despite ongoing monetary stimulus. The real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate for the euro area is forecast to be just 1.3% this year. In Japan, neither Abenomics nor a deliberate devaluation of the Japanese yen has had the desired effect. On the other hand, China’s GDP growth looks impressive by comparison. Although many investors were unnerved by the deceleration in growth for 2014, China remains one of the fastest-growing countries in the world.
Beyond GDP growth rates, of all the economic factors that make investors pause, some of the most concerning to me are the levels of interest rates around the world. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds is currently below 2%, down from about 4% five years ago. Three-year Treasury notes are currently yielding less than 1%, while one-year Treasury bills are yielding about 0.25%. As I’ve cautioned many times, investors seeking higher yields today are taking on considerable principal risks. Even small rate increases could result in substantial principal losses for longer-term bonds.
So are we headed for another period of financial stress? That’s the question many investors are asking. While current stock valuations are elevated, I don’t see an obvious economic parallel to the situation leading up to the global financial crisis that began in 2007.
During the global financial crisis of 2007 to 2009, not only did the stock market suffer, the entire economy was teetering. Appropriately, central bankers and policymakers came to the rescue. Today, I feel that the global economy is on reasonably sound footing — despite slow growth around the world. But it’s important to note that investors can experience losses even when the economy is relatively resilient. For example, during the tech bear market of 2000 to 2002, stock prices generally fell despite the fact that quarterly GDP growth was positive in 10 out of 12 quarters.
My main point is that we’re in a “high-degree-of-difficulty” environment. There are no easy answers. Take oil, for example, which recently fell below $50 per barrel. For those who think they know where oil is headed next, I’d ask how well they predicted oil’s price action in 2008 and 2009. Back then, oil had an even-more dramatic decline — only to recoup about two-thirds of its losses in relatively short order.
The same can be said about our ability to predict the consequences of other economic phenomena: Low, even negative, interest rates throughout the world. New rounds of monetary stimulus by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan. A significant rise in the value of the U.S. dollar. Intentional depreciation of the Japanese yen. And slow economic growth contributing to fears of deflation. Can all of these occur without a major disruption down the road? Maybe. But it wouldn’t be surprising if the economy did indeed encounter some dragons in the coming years.
MARKETS
Seemingly in defiance of the slow-growth economy, and in the face of potentially higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve, most stocks continued their advance during the first quarter of 2015. The S&P 500® Index rose 0.95%, its ninth straight quarterly increase. Repeating the pattern of the previous quarter, small caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, performed even better with a rise of 4.32%. For the first time since the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced past the 5,000 level, although the Index had settled a bit lower by quarter-end.

Moreover, the quarter’s gains were broad-based. Most sectors, market-cap ranges and style categories were in positive territory. Bond markets advanced as well. The intermediate-term Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 1.61% and the long-term Barclays U.S. 20+ Year Treasury Bond Index rose 4.19%.
Overseas, European and Japanese stocks posted strong gains for the most part. Performance among emerging markets varied — China, India, Korea and Taiwan generally did well, while Latin America struggled. The strengthening U.S. dollar has had mixed impact internationally — boosting trade, but making dollar-denominated debt more expensive.
After several years of sharply rising stock prices and slow economic growth, there’s no question that valuations on most U.S. companies are high. Nor is there any denying that we’re now in a high-degree-of-difficulty environment, making the job of portfolio management more challenging.
In addition to the complicated risk/reward trade-offs of the current market environment, the S&P 500 Index has not had a correction of 10% or more for about three and a half years, which is two years longer than the average bull market. As a result, I believe now is a time for caution.
While I don’t think that most investors can effectively move in and out of the markets, a somewhat higher-than-normal cash position might be warranted for more-conservative investors. And in an era of markets often dominated by speculative trend-following, I think it’s especially important for portfolio managers to really understand the companies in which they’re invested. This has always been our focus at Wasatch.
Regarding interest rates, I’ve said before that mild increases would help people at or near retirement who are currently unable to generate reasonable income on their lower-risk investments. Higher interest rates would also encourage a healthier credit environment — more borrowers would have access to capital and lenders would have the potential to receive fair returns.
Now that the Fed has signaled a rate hike for later this year, my outlook is for a reversion to normalcy. But again, the endgame is especially difficult to predict because we haven’t been here before and we don’t know the nature of the dragons that may appear.
WASATCH
Wasatch is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. In some ways, today’s environment couldn’t be more different from when I founded the firm in 1975. Back then, 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds were yielding about 8%. Inflation was running at approximately 9%. Oil prices were spiking upward. And stock prices were low coming off of the 1973 to 1974 bear market.
What hasn’t changed is our focus on seeking to exploit opportunities in less-efficient areas of the markets. From the 1970s through the 1990s, most of our efforts were dedicated to researching U.S. small-cap companies that were able to rapidly grow their returns on capital. In 2000, we applied the same philosophy and process to international markets and launched our first international investment vehicle.
With sincere thanks for your continued investment and for your trust,
Sam Stewart

WASATCH CORE GROWTH FUND (WGROX / WIGRX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Core Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor and Paul Lambert.
JB Taylor Lead Portfolio Manager |
Paul Lambert Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Small-cap stocks were strong in the first quarter of 2015. After a year of trailing the S&P 500® Index, small caps outperformed their larger-cap counterparts for the second quarter in a row. It was |
also another quarter in which the average small-cap manager underperformed. In this context, we were pleased that the Wasatch Core Growth Fund — Investor Class gained 7.30% and outperformed its benchmarks. The Russell 2000 Index advanced 4.32% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 6.63%. We attribute our performance to solid stock-picking, which was strong across the Fund.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
It’s impossible to discuss the current market environment without addressing the phenomenal performance of the biotechnology industry. The average biotechnology stock in the Russell 2000 Growth Index was up approximately 15% in the quarter, more than double the overall Index return. This has been an impressive run — in 13 of the last 16 quarters biotechnology stocks have outperformed.
The Fund’s minimal exposure to biotech companies has been a huge headwind. Most biotech companies go years without generating profits, and a company with great science may still fail to win Food and Drug Administration approval for its products. More biotech companies will fail than succeed, and the big winners heavily skew the industry’s performance.
We want to own profitable companies like Icon plc, which provides clinical-research services to the biotechnology industry. We call this a “picks and shovels” approach — selling goods and services to a well-capitalized group of risk-takers. In the first quarter, Icon was among our best contributors.
We will continue to execute our current strategy for the biotech industry, running a large underweight versus the benchmark, but occasionally rifle-shooting for a company with great science, a proven management team and a market valuation that is small relative to the company’s end-market potential.
The U.S. dollar continued to strengthen in the first quarter and the price of oil is still nearly 50% below the price last summer. Low-priced oil helps a company like our small-cap airline Allegiant Travel Co., where fuel is the largest single cost item in the income statement. Allegiant was the top contributor to the Fund’s performance in the first quarter.
Although the overall backdrop for small-cap fundamentals is the best we have seen in a long time, valuations remain high for U.S. small caps. The number of companies
trading with market valuations greater than 10 times revenues, a valuation metric we would consider “extreme,” remains close to an all-time high. A historically low number of companies today qualify as inexpensive (less than 1 times revenues). We believe we must stay disciplined with our valuations in such an elevated market. At quarter-end, the Fund’s price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple was roughly in line with both indices, but we have been capturing much better-than-average revenue and earnings growth rates.
It’s not customary for us to outperform in such a strong small-cap market. Our focus on high-quality companies typically has resulted in the Fund giving up some performance relative to the indices in the strongest markets, but it has often outperformed by a wide margin in choppier markets. To illustrate, on the 100 worst market days between December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2015, the Russell 2000 Growth Index was down, on average, -1.6%, and the Wasatch Core Growth Fund outperformed on 92% of those days. We attribute the Fund’s recent outperformance to the underlying fundamentals of our portfolio companies. For example, the Fund’s second-best contributor was Credit Acceptance Corp., a non-prime auto-finance company that we believe has an exceptional management team and a track record for prudently allocating capital.
Life Time Fitness, Inc. and Polypore International, Inc. announced that they were being acquired. Even though these two companies were top contributors for the quarter, we didn’t spend much time cheering. When they have been acquired, we’ll need to find businesses of comparable strength to replace them with.
From our first purchase in 2005 through the end of 2012, MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. executed superbly and continued to take profitable share in a large maintenance, repair and operations market. Since then, the company has had a difficult time turning investment spending on new initiatives into profitable growth.
Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. posted a solid fourth quarter, but management gave disappointing guidance. With 30% of Cornerstone’s revenues generated outside the U.S., the strong dollar will make the company’s growth rate look lower in the short term. We like Cornerstone and believe it is one of the most attractively valued software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses in the market.
OUTLOOK
From where we sit, the operating environment for U.S. small-cap companies continues to improve and the average U.S. small-cap company’s fundamentals are accelerating. This has provided a good environment for us to execute our bottom-up selection process, as we focus on what we consider to be the highest-quality and best-managed long-duration growth companies. Our companies have consistently posted revenue and earnings growth rates that are higher than the average company. The ability to capture above-average earnings growth, compounded patiently over time, is at the center of our time-tested investment philosophy.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

As of the January 31, 2015 prospectus, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Wasatch Core Growth Fund are Investor Class: 1.18% / Institutional Class: 1.18%, Net: 1.12%. The expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report may be different. Net expenses are based on Fund expenses, net of waivers and reimbursements.

Wasatch Funds will deduct a 2.00% redemption proceeds fee on Fund shares held 60 days or less. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of fees, including sales charges, or the taxes you would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Fees and taxes, if reflected, would reduce the performance quoted. Wasatch does not charge any sales fees.

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. Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, entails special risks, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainties, which are described in more detail in the prospectus.

WASATCH EMERGING INDIA FUND (WAINX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Emerging India Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan.
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
In the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Emerging India Fund gained 5.76%. The Fund narrowly outpaced its benchmark, the MSCI India Investable Market Index, which rose 5.52%. India continued to benefit from lower oil prices. Because the country imports about 80% of its oil, Brent crude’s decline of 48% over the past year has brought down India’s current-account deficit and rate of inflation. Those developments, in |
turn, helped shore up the currency and boosted inflows of foreign capital. The improved backdrop enabled the Reserve Bank of India to cut interest rates twice during the first quarter to stimulate economic growth.
While falling energy and commodity prices have lowered production costs and boosted the profits of Indian companies, top-line growth has been uninspiring. In the first quarter, the consumer-staples sector was the Fund’s largest source of outperformance, as our companies benefited from margin expansion and persistent demand for their products. Our lack of investments in energy companies also helped the Fund by avoiding direct exposure to what proved to be the worst-performing sector of the Index.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Our two strongest contributors to Fund performance for the quarter were Lupin Ltd. and Natco Pharma Ltd. Both companies manufacture branded and generic pharmaceuticals and market them in India and other countries. Lupin is experiencing strong demand for its generic formulations and continues to execute well. The company also is benefiting from its excellent record with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its significant number of new drugs completing registration and entering production.
Natco’s pipeline is impressive as well. The company has 34 applications for new drugs filed with the FDA and 22 more pending. It plans to launch its generic form of the multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone later this year. Shares of Natco rose sharply in the first quarter on news it had won approval to market a generic version of Gilead’s new Hepatitis C drug, Sovaldi, in India and 90 other countries.
HCL Technologies Ltd. was our third-largest contributor. HCL is an information-technology (IT) company that provides infrastructure-management services in India, the U.S. and other countries. It has been especially successful at winning contracts that have come up for rebidding. Net income at the company jumped 28.0% in its most-recently reported quarter on 13.4% sales growth versus the same period a year ago. On a three-year horizon, we expect continued strong demand for its services to make HCL an ongoing holding in the Fund.
Our greatest detractor from performance for the quarter was India’s largest non-banking finance company, Mahindra
& Mahindra Financial Services Ltd. Through its network of branches, Mahindra finances purchases of tractors, utility vehicles, cars and homes, primarily in rural India. Although sales rose 11.3% year-over-year in the company’s most-recently reported quarter, earnings declined as weakness in southern India and a below-average monsoon season led to an uptick in non-performing loans. We view this as a temporary setback inherent in the uneven nature of the company’s business and continue to own the stock in the Fund.
Two other weak stocks in the Fund were La Opala RG Ltd. and TD Power Systems Ltd. Opala makes tableware, including opalware dinner sets and crystal. The company’s share price declined on investor concerns that top-line growth may be slowing. We think these fears are overdone, however, and remain optimistic about Opala’s long-term prospects.
TD Power manufactures and sells electric-power generators in India and internationally. Despite a 23.1% increase in sales, the company posted a small loss in its most-recently reported quarter compared to a small gain in the year-ago period. We believe this is a high-quality company positioned to make further inroads into European and Japanese markets, while also benefiting from planned upgrades to India’s railroad system and other infrastructure.
OUTLOOK
Even though the Indian government expects gross domestic product (GDP) to have increased 7.4% during the fiscal year ended March 31, pockets of weakness and lackluster sales growth have raised investor concerns. On the plus side, public finances have improved significantly, with the fiscal deficit over the same period projected to come in at 4.1% of GDP, the lowest in seven years. With recent auctions of coal licenses and mobile-telephone airwaves having added billions of dollars to government coffers, we believe the Modi government is likely to deliver on its ambitious plans for improving India’s roads, ports and power plants.
Streamlining India’s bureaucracy may prove more difficult, especially given its contentious political culture and decentralized system of government. Even so, such reforms are crucial for economic development. The maze of regulations, taxes and fees imposed by the country’s 29 states have dropped India to 142 out of 189 countries on the World Bank’s latest Ease of Doing Business Index. In areas such as contract enforcement and construction permits, India ranks even lower.
One initiative in which the government is making significant headway involves using biometric-enhanced ID cards to reduce fraud in its welfare system and provide benefits more efficiently to hundreds of millions of poor people. Other encouraging signs include progress on a proposed national sales tax. Known as the “goods-and-services tax,” the measure would transform India into a single market for the first time and pave the way for further expansions in commerce and manufacturing.

WASATCH EMERGING MARKETS SELECT FUND (WAESX / WIESX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Emerging Markets Select Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan and Roger Edgley.
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Roger Edgley, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
In the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Emerging Markets Select Fund — Investor Class fell |
which gained 2.24%. Emerging-market equities generally rose as the prospect of further policy easing in China lifted Asian shares and firmer oil prices boosted energy stocks.
Comments from Central Bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan that China’s growth had slowed “too much” raised expectations for new measures to support the Chinese economy. While China, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan all posted gains that helped the Index, our minimal positions in those markets were headwinds for the Fund.
Our lack of investments in Russia also hurt the Fund’s performance relative to the Index. Russian stocks surged during the quarter following a cease-fire in Ukraine and a rebound in the price of Brent crude. The benchmark’s holdings in Russia also benefited from modest appreciation of the ruble against the U.S. dollar.
Most other emerging-market currencies fell against the greenback. In Turkey, Brazil and Colombia, currency depreciation produced what were the Fund’s three largest sources of underperformance. Meanwhile, the dollar’s strength helped the big exporters that make up a significant share of the Index. The capitalization effect favoring large- and mega-cap stocks was an additional headwind for the Fund, which generally has significant holdings in smaller-cap companies.
India was the Fund’s top-performing country. In India, our stocks outgained the benchmark’s holdings and made significant contributions to Fund performance. Together with healthy gains in the Philippines and Thailand, our strong showing in India helped the Fund offset much of its underperformance in other countries.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
India accounted for seven of the 10 strongest contributors to Fund performance for the quarter, including Lupin Ltd. and HCL Technologies Ltd. Lupin, our top contributor, markets its branded and generic pharmaceuticals primarily in India, the U.S. and Japan. The company is experiencing strong demand for its products and continues to execute well. Lupin also has benefited from its excellent record of compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations.
HCL is an information-technology company that provides infrastructure-management services in India, the U.S. and other countries. It has been especially successful at winning
contracts that have come up for rebidding. On a three-year horizon, we expect continued strong demand for its services to make HCL an ongoing holding in the Fund.
Another strong stock in the Fund was Metropolitan Bank & Trust. Metrobank offers a full range of banking services to business and retail customers in the Philippines. We believe its extensive branch network leaves the bank well-positioned to benefit from growing demand in the Philippines for consumer lending and financial services.
Our greatest detractor from performance for the quarter was Qualicorp S.A. The company offers insurance and benefits packages to corporations and affinity groups in Brazil. Its share price slumped on speculation that Brazil’s government is considering measures to stimulate sales of individual health-insurance plans. In addition, weakness in the Brazilian currency reduced the stock’s value in U.S. dollars.
Coca-Cola Icecek A.S. was the Fund’s second-largest detractor. Serving markets in Turkey, Pakistan, Central Asia and the Middle East, this Turkish company is a major bottler in the Coca-Cola system. Over the past two years, Coca-Cola Icecek has encountered a series of setbacks including the Taksim Gezi Park disturbances and the war against Islamic State in Iraq. In the first quarter, currency weakness in the Turkish lira also impacted the stock. Even so, with per-capita consumption of soft drinks in its markets still low compared to other countries, we think this top-tier bottler is well-situated for future growth.
Our third-largest detractor was Colombian cement company, Cemex Latam Holdings S.A. Strength in the Colombian currency had hurt Cemex by making it economical for a competitor to import cement from outside the country. That situation has now reversed and, over the longer term, we expect the company to benefit from Colombia’s significant infrastructure needs.
OUTLOOK
During the past four years, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index has made little headway — even as the earnings of its underlying companies have increased. As a result, the broad emerging-market universe has become more attractively valued. In addition, the U.S. dollar’s recent climb to multi-year highs has made emerging-market equities less costly for dollar-based investors.
We expect lower oil prices to benefit emerging markets in several ways. First, we believe the lower cost of imported oil will improve current-account deficits and help support the currencies of energy-importing countries. Second, reduced government outlays for fuel subsidies will improve fiscal accounts. Third, the lower cost of energy should put downward pressure on inflation. We believe these factors will help make developing nations more appealing to foreign investors and help emerging markets attract the capital they need to grow.
In short, we believe investment opportunities in emerging markets are more attractive now than at any time in the past several years. We are excited about emerging markets and their expanding role in the global economy.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH EMERGING MARKETS SMALL CAP FUND (WAEMX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Roger Edgley, Andrey Kutuzov and Scott Thomas.
Roger Edgley, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Andrey Kutuzov, CFA Associate Portfolio |
Scott Thomas, CFA Associate Portfolio |
OVERVIEW
In the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund gained 0.37% but underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, which gained 3.59%. Emerging-market equity returns were mixed but generally rose as the prospect of further policy easing in China lifted Asian shares.
Comments from Central Bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan that China’s growth had slowed “too much” raised expectations for new measures to support the Chinese economy. China and Korea posted gains that helped the Index. Our underweighting in those markets and the underperformance of our holdings were headwinds for the Fund. Taiwan was also a positive market. The Fund’s weight in Taiwan was approximately equal to that of the benchmark and our holdings outperformed those in the Index.
Several emerging-market currencies fell relative to the U.S. dollar during the quarter. In Turkey, Brazil and Colombia, currency depreciation impacted stock performance in the benchmark and the Fund. Meanwhile, the dollar’s strength helped the big exporting markets. India continued to provide positive performance.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
It is worth commenting on China and the changes in equity markets there, as well as the implications for emerging-market investors. China is a significant part of the emerging-market indices and it is likely to get much larger given the size of the domestic Chinese equity market as well as U.S.-listed Chinese names. While the Fund remains significantly underweighted in China, we expect to increase our Chinese holdings over time.
The difficulty for equity investors in China has been to find high-quality names that are not state-owned enterprises (SOEs) or connected to or controlled by SOEs (the capitalization of SOEs is well over 70% of the market). That is part of the reason China is a value market, though reforming SOEs — which seems part of the Chinese government’s agenda — may help to improve their valuations. The performance of emerging-market SOEs has been substantially worse than the market since 2008. At the present time, China is opening up its equity market and the currency is
becoming liberalized. This is not a small market opening up. The market capitalization of the domestic Chinese market is over US$4 trillion.
For us as small-cap investors, our challenges in China have been lack of scale in companies we see (in a large-scale economy), hyper-competition, corporate governance and unclear strategy. These challenges will not go away. However, over time we believe companies and managements will improve. We see progress in the “new areas” of the economy (Internet, health care, technology). In addition to investing in companies based in mainland China, we also expect to invest in companies based in Hong Kong and Taiwan that have shown they can be successful in China.
Elsewhere, India continued to see strength and the Fund continued to be structurally overweight in India. Natco Pharma Ltd. was one of the Fund’s top contributors. Natco’s share price rose sharply in the first quarter on news it had won approval to market a generic version of Gilead’s new Hepatitis C drug, Sovaldi, in India and 90 other countries.
The Fund is still underweight in Korea, but we are increasingly finding more attractive opportunities as dividends increase, government regulation improves and labor productivity gets better. Nevertheless, Korea was a source of underperformance in the first quarter as our companies overall did not keep pace with those in the benchmark. Hanssem Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of kitchen and bath cabinetry, was up over 50% and was the Fund’s top contributor to performance. On the other hand, i-SENS, Inc. was down over 20% and detracted from performance. i-SENS, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of blood-glucose monitoring systems, has one of the lowest costs of manufacturing for blood-glucose strips. The company also has a strong research and development pipeline.
Another large detractor was Qualicorp S.A., a firm offering insurance and benefits packages to corporations and affinity groups in Brazil. Qualicorp’s shares slumped on speculation that the government is considering measures to stimulate sales of individual health-insurance plans, which could increase competition in Qualicorp’s industry.
OUTLOOK
Overall, we see a much better tone in emerging markets. While gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been slowing and U.S. dollar-denominated debt levels remain a concern, we’re optimistic regarding the prospects for lower interest rates and SOE reforms.
The outlook is clearly improving in the developed regions of Europe and Japan. Emerging markets may be lagging, but over time they may also benefit from the improvement in developed markets. During the past four years, the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index has essentially moved sideways even as the earnings of its underlying companies have increased. As a result, the broad emerging-market universe has become more attractively valued. In addition, the U.S. dollar’s recent climb to multi-year highs has made emerging-market equities less costly for dollar-based investors. Going forward, we anticipate lower oil prices will also benefit many emerging markets.
We appreciate the support that shareholders have shown us.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH FRONTIER EMERGING SMALL COUNTRIES FUND (WAFMX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Laura Geritz.
Laura Geritz, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund fell -4.52% in a disappointing first quarter of 2015. The Fund also underperformed the MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Index, which lost -2.42%. The first quarter was a difficult time for frontier markets. Lower oil prices continued to weigh on net exporters of oil and hurt performance in Nigeria, Colombia and Kuwait. Nevertheless, |
many frontier markets remain bright spots of positive change and growth in a growth-challenged world.
I think the pullback in frontier markets has been overdone and has been driven by sharply lower oil prices, which have had collateral effects on more domestically oriented companies in various countries. With the retrenchment in the equity markets, frontier stocks look attractively valued.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
In his latest quarterly message, Wasatch Funds’ President, Sam Stewart, speaks of dragons as metaphors for uncertainty in today’s investment environment. The Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund ventures into places relatively unexplored on the map, where dragons illustrate boundaries not yet crossed by most investors.
Given a number of weak quarters in a row for frontier markets and media headlines suggesting something might be wrong with the economies where we invest, my team and I rolled up our sleeves and went out in an attempt to slay the dragons — to find out if negative movements in the markets had much justification based on the fundamentals. We traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Turkey, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Tunisia and South Korea.
We met scores of management teams and spent hours with central bankers, journalists, economists and other experts in each country. This was one of the most-grueling explorations of frontier markets since the launch of the Fund. When stocks go down, I always fear I’m missing something. However, I walked away from this trip with even stronger conviction that the frontier story remains as good as, if not better than, ever.
It had been roughly a year since I last touched down in Vietnam and about three years since I had been to Cambodia and Laos. The changes underway are stunning. These countries, with dynamic, young and educated labor pools, appear perfectly positioned to benefit from the movement of jobs from China. In addition to low-end jobs, high-tech jobs are moving here as well.
Vietnam is targeting hundreds of initial public offerings (IPOs). Cambodia is introducing companies as well, though custody is still a bottleneck. Laos is behind the curve, but has plenty of funding from regional governments that see placing money here as having the potential for great returns
on investment. We can gain access to this market through regional players with a strong footprint in Laos. So why isn’t the Vietnamese stock market raging? From our deep due diligence, it’s nothing fundamental. Our analysis concluded that for most constituents of the frontier asset class, the best is yet to come.
I made my first visit to Tunisia. This is the country where the Arab Spring was ignited. Surely, this would be a terrifying place — filled with dragons. My view from the airplane was one of verdant hills covered in olives and grapes, a sparkling sea, and modern roads and buildings. After a day of meetings and a lunch at the last remaining caravan hotel in the city, it was crystal clear to me that the reason the Arab Spring started in this nation was that it could. While Tunisia is a small market, its companies have a long history of regional success and significant growth rates. In addition, attractive IPOs are springing up in the country.
SECTORAND COUNTRY REVIEW
The consumer-staples sector detracted the most from the Fund’s absolute performance in the first quarter. We believe consumer-staples companies continue to offer the most attractive exposure to frontier markets with the best risk-to-return profile, which explains why over 40% of the Fund is in this sector. During the first quarter, our consumer-staples holdings declined, but not as much as those in the benchmark.
Several of the Fund’s biggest detractors for the quarter came from the consumer-staples sector, including food-products manufacturer and distributor Nestlé Nigeria plc, Nigerian Breweries and food processor Grupo Nutresa S.A. (Colombia). However, six of the Fund’s top 10 contributors to performance were consumer-staples companies including British American Tobacco Bangladesh Co. Ltd.; Universal Robina Corp., the largest food and beverage company in the Philippines; and Agthia Group PJSC, a UAE agribusiness and consumer-foods company.
Our holdings in Nigeria and Pakistan, traditionally strong markets for the Fund, were significant sources of weakness for the quarter. Bangladesh and the Philippines were the largest contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance. Kenya was the Fund’s rare outperformer in sub-Saharan Africa, helped by our investment in telecommunications company Safaricom Ltd., our top contributor for the quarter.
OUTLOOK
While I’m comfortable with our investments, I’ve had the privilege of personally venturing to frontier markets to see the opportunities firsthand. My hope is that investors trust me as a dragonslayer. I take my fiduciary duty with the utmost seriousness and invest my assets alongside the Fund’s shareholders. My fear is that without confronting the dragons firsthand, investors will confuse falling stock prices with weak fundamentals. I hope I��ve convinced you otherwise. I remain confident and excited about the long-term prospects of frontier markets in general, and the Fund in particular.
Thank you very much for your investment.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND (WAGOX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor and Ajay Krishnan.
JB Taylor Lead Portfolio Manager |
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund was up 4.04% in the first quarter of 2015, roughly keeping pace with the benchmark MSCI AC World Small Cap Index, which returned 4.36%. |
Ongoing signs of strength in the domestic economy supported U.S. small-cap performance, as the employment backdrop continued to improve and consumers benefited from the recent decline in oil prices. At the same time, the U.S. Federal Reserve reiterated that the inevitable tightening of monetary policy would be measured, given an inflation rate that has remained below the target level.
Among other major developed markets, Japanese small caps performed extremely well. In addition, most eurozone stocks rebounded as the European Central Bank stepped up its commitment to quantitative easing. Within emerging markets, equity performance was less robust overall, weighed down by some of the commodity-exporting countries and several economies experiencing severe currency weakness.
Against this backdrop, stock selection within countries was the principal factor in the Fund’s performance. Selection within the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom was especially strong. In terms of sectors, selection within consumer discretionary and consumer staples helped relative performance, while selection within financials and health care underperformed the benchmark.
Although we believe our heavy allocation to emerging markets will pay off over the longer term, the allocation was a drag on the Fund’s return during the first quarter. In particular, Brazil, Colombia and Turkey underperformed.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
India had a positive effect on the Fund during the first quarter. Our top-performing Indian stock was Lupin Ltd., which markets branded and generic pharmaceuticals primarily in India, the U.S. and Japan. The company is experiencing strong demand for its products and continues to execute well. Lupin also has benefited from its excellent record of compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Allegiant Travel Co. was another leading contributor to performance for the quarter. The airline has successfully pursued a low-cost, high-utilization business model in select underserved U.S. markets. Moreover, we believe that lower fuel costs will help boost margins and profits going forward.
Pigeon Corp. (Japan) benefited from solid revenue growth and improved sentiment on Japan’s economy. The company has the top market share of sales for baby and child-care products in Japan. Additionally, Pigeon’s overseas business
is expanding mainly due to sales in China.
Qualicorp S.A. detracted from Fund performance for the quarter. Qualicorp offers insurance and benefits packages to corporations and affinity groups in Brazil. The company’s shares slumped on speculation that the government is considering measures to stimulate sales of individual health-insurance plans, which could increase competition in Qualicorp’s industry. Additionally, weakness in the Brazilian real reduced the stock’s value when converted into U.S. dollars.
Information-technology firm Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. also lagged. Cornerstone, which provides cloud-based human-resources software, saw its shares decline after management lowered revenue guidance for 2015. With its main competitors having been acquired by larger companies, we think Cornerstone is well-positioned to capture more of the growing human-resources software market.
Coca-Cola Icecek A.S., a major bottler in the Coca-Cola system serving markets in Turkey, Pakistan, Central Asia and the Middle East, was another detractor for the quarter. Over the past two years, Coca-Cola Icecek has encountered a series of setbacks including the Taksim Gezi Park disturbances and the war against Islamic State in Iraq. During the quarter, currency weakness in the Turkish lira also impacted the stock. Even so, with per-capita consumption of soft drinks in its markets still low compared to other countries, we think this top-tier bottler is well-situated for future growth.
OUTLOOK
Indications of economic health and employment in the U.S. are more favorable than in most parts of the world. Moreover, our U.S. companies have been reporting excellent sales and earnings growth rates — and margins remain high. However, valuations are generally quite elevated in the U.S. So we’re increasingly looking abroad to find companies with attractive growth opportunities at reasonable prices.
While the Fund’s current weighting in Japan is below that of the benchmark, we’re considering increasing our exposure, as Japan‘s efforts at fiscal stimulus and monetary easing are gradually being accompanied by structural reforms. And we’re increasingly finding well-managed small-cap growth companies in Japan.
European economies have not yet picked up the momentum we’d like to see. Nevertheless, we’re optimistic about the investing environment as we expect accommodative fiscal and monetary policies to take hold in coming quarters.
Although emerging-market stock performance has lagged the performance of developed markets over the past several years, we believe emerging markets now offer especially compelling valuations for companies that are poised to increase revenues and earnings at double-digit rates well into the future. In addition, we expect lower oil prices to benefit emerging markets. In short, the investment opportunities in emerging markets look more attractive to us now than at any time in the past several years.
We continue to look globally for small companies with market leadership, sustainable competitive advantages, strong financials and proven management teams.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH HERITAGE GROWTH FUND (WAHGX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund was managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Chris Bowen.
Chris Bowen Lead Portfolio Manager | SPECIAL NOTICE
The Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund ceased operations on April 30, 2015. Following official notice to shareholders, the Fund liquidated its holdings and moved to cash and cash equivalents during the first quarter of 2015. For more information, please call Wasatch Funds at 800.551.1700. Per the Special Notice above, the following comments reflect the partial period prior to the liquidation of the |
Fund’s holdings, although the Fund and index returns are for the full quarter.
OVERVIEW
As volatility re-emerged, the stock market as gauged by the S&P 500 Index eked out another gain during the first quarter, rising 0.95%, its ninth consecutive quarterly advance.
In contrast, paced by equities in the information-technology sector, the Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund gained 5.98% for the first quarter of 2015. The result exceeded the 5.38% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index.
The Fund’s performance during the quarter was broad-based, but was led by information-technology companies IPG Photonics Corp. and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. Another top contributor was health-care company Mallinckrodt plc along with Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc.
The stocks that detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance included F5 Networks, Inc., MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. and LKQ Corp. These companies suffered modest declines and, in aggregate, subtracted less than one percentage point from performance.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
A few identifiable factors contributed to the Fund’s recent strong performance. Previously oversold stocks rebounded. Companies exceeded earnings expectations. Relative to historical patterns, we saw more of the Fund’s holdings get acquired at meaningful premiums.
During the quarter, several of the Fund’s larger holdings that didn’t perform well in mid-2014 continued to recover. In most cases, the pullbacks were temporary blips caused by the short-term outlook for each company. Combined with our analysis of individual company fundamentals, our core tenet — treating the investment process as a marathon rather than a sprint — helped us maintain our conviction.
Cognizant is a perfect example of this type of turnaround story. Cognizant’s stock retreated during the third quarter of 2014 due to the perception of slowing growth. We’ve owned the company for many years and feel like we understand it well. Our belief in the ability of Cognizant’s management team to execute its business plan, the company’s competitive and strategic positioning and an attractive long-run outlook
led us to ultimately make it one of the Fund’s largest holdings. Last year, Cognizant announced that big contracts would be coming through, but that earnings would be lumpy over the short term. We didn’t sell the stock in a panic, and more recently we saw evidence of the big contracts starting to flow through.
EPAM Systems, Inc., a technology outsourcing company similar to Cognizant, also had an outstanding quarter. The software development service provider has a significant portion of its operations based in Eastern Europe. The stock is what we term a “Wasatch Graduate.” After we initially uncovered the company during our research efforts, its market capitalization wasn’t appropriate for the Heritage Growth style. However, several Wasatch portfolio managers that focus on small-cap stocks recognized the quality of the company and purchased the stock for their funds. As the company continued to grow, it “graduated” from the small-cap space. We still found EPAM’s valuation attractive and bought the stock when it pulled back as tensions between Russia and Ukraine were near their highest point last year. As political concerns in the region eased and as the company demonstrated an ability to successfully execute its business plan in spite of them, EPAM Systems continued to grow and the stock was a solid performer for the Fund.
We saw good bottom-line performance in the first quarter from all but a handful of the Fund’s holdings. Most of our companies met or exceeded our earnings expectations. However, a few companies delivered weaker-than-expected results, including LKQ whose stock price declined and was one of our largest detractors. The salvage-yard operator supplies replacement parts to the automobile industry. LKQ’s network contains over 500 facilities, allowing it to offer inventory depth and delivery speed that typically exceeds that of competitors. LKQ strips usable parts from vehicles and sells the remainder as scrap metal. LKQ is currently facing headwinds due to declining metal prices, and a strong dollar has impacted its international operations.
A few of the Fund’s holdings were acquired at attractive premiums. Late last summer, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. merged with Mallinckrodt, and Tim Horton’s was taken over by Restaurant Brands International, Inc. in December. In the first quarter, Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings completed its acquisition of Covance.
IPG Photonics was the Fund’s top contributor during the quarter. The company develops and produces lasers that can be used in a wide variety of manufacturing applications. One of the most compelling long-term opportunities is in the burgeoning field of 3D printing. IPG’s fiber lasers tend to be less energy-intensive compared to standard solid-state lasers, giving it a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
For more than 10 years, we have strived to manage the Wasatch Heritage Growth Fund in a way that offered growth along with the potential to mitigate the downside during some of the biggest market crises in recent memory. We sincerely thank you for taking the time to understand our strategy and for placing your trust in us. We’re grateful for the opportunity we’ve had to manage your assets.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND (WAIGX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch International Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Roger Edgley, Linda Lasater and Kabir Goyal.
Roger Edgley, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Linda Lasater, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager |
Kabir Goyal, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
Equity markets started the year on a positive note. Developed markets were resilient, buoyed in part by the start of quantitative easing in Europe and further macro improvements in Japan. We see good technical breadth across developed markets. Canada was the laggard, hurt by a falling currency and fears about the energy market. Emerging markets were robust, with particularly strong showings from Korea, China and India. The Wasatch International Growth Fund gained 6.21% in the first quarter of 2015, outpacing the 3.93% return of the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Our research process continues to focus on finding attractively priced high-quality stocks. In particular, we are finding opportunities in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong/China. We also have been adding to our weight in Europe because eurozone fundamentals are looking more attractive. We’re optimistic about the investing environment as we expect accommodative fiscal and monetary policies to take hold in coming quarters.
Japan has long been a rich source of ideas for the Fund, in part from its large number of listed companies, and in part from the number of companies trading at attractive price-to-earnings multiples. As the investing environment in Japan has improved, we have increased our weight in the country from less than 10% of the Fund on December 31, 2012 to over 25% on March 31, 2015. Our investment team’s deep experience in Japan and multiple research trips per year have allowed us to maintain what we believe is a high-quality bar in the portfolio.
Calbee, Inc. dominates the snack-food market in Japan. The company has an enviable brand, though for many years Calbee was only able to generate single-digit margins, far lower than its global peers. The current CEO, Akira Matsumoto, previously worked at Johnson & Johnson* and has brought a focused discipline to margins and returns on capital. His leadership is one of the key reasons the company’s return on equity (ROE) has nearly doubled over the past four years.
Pigeon Corp. manufactures baby bottles and has over 80% of the market share in Japan. The company is aggressively taking its strong brand to overseas markets, including expanding its product line into diapers for the Chinese market.
Historically, Japan had generated some of the lowest ROEs among developed markets. Today, corporate managers in Japan seem to be shifting their focus toward productivity and capital returns. This is evident from our conversations with management teams and from the increasing dividends from our holdings.
Similar to Japan, Korean companies had historically generated low ROEs, underutilized their balance sheets, and made capital decisions that benefited insiders over public shareholders. The tide appears to be shifting in Korea with increased dividends, improved government regulations and greater labor productivity. Today in Korea, we are seeing more of what we consider to be high-quality entrepreneurial firms, often with deep technical expertise.
Over the past nine months, we have added three Korean companies to the Fund. ISC Co. Ltd. has a leading technology in the test socket market for semiconductors. The product is consumable, which we believe will generate strong recurring sales.
Medy-Tox, Inc. has developed the next generation of Botox and has a strong supply partner in Allergan* to distribute it globally. Medy-Tox’s new product, Innotox, has a number of benefits over Botox and the market applications for Innotox and Botox are increasing, both for cosmetic purposes and for therapeutic uses.
KEPCO Plant Service & Engineering Co. operates and maintains power plants. The company’s contracts with plant owners tend to be long term, and are typically renewed upon completion, providing a recurring revenue stream. KEPCO Plant Service has expanded outside of Korea, with the overseas portion comprising nearly 15% of revenues and providing a boost to long-term growth.
OUTLOOK
We are excited about the quality of companies in the Fund and believe these companies have a long runway for growth. Many of our companies offer unique services that are in high demand, which is a key factor in reducing the market risk around these holdings.
We continue to see opportunities across developed markets, especially in Japan and Europe. Additionally, the weakening euro has improved the outlook for eurozone-based companies with a global footprint, though it remains a challenge to find high-quality names.
In the first quarter of the year, the Wasatch research team visited companies in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. In the second quarter, we expect to meet with companies in Japan, Korea, Continental Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China.
We thank shareholders for their support.

|
The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Laura Geritz and Jared Whatcott.
Laura Geritz, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Jared Whatcott, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The International Opportunities Fund gained 5.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, beating its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S.A. Small Cap Index, which rose 3.93%. |
European equities started the year off strong on the back of additional stimulus from the European Central Bank. While investors were hoping that low energy prices, low interest rates and a weak currency would help get Europe on its feet again, economic concerns in emerging economies like Russia, China and Brazil continued to dampen global growth expectations.
The biggest change in the Fund and global markets over the past 12 months has been the resurgence of Japan. Japanese stocks have been benefiting from bottom-up and top-down initiatives. We have been finding abundant investment opportunities in the land of the rising sun.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
“Every being that exists in the entire world is linked together as moments in time, and at the same time they exist as individual moments of time. Because all moments are the time being, they are your time being.” This quote from Zen Buddhist teacher Dogen Zenji was cited in Ruth Ozeki’s recent novel, A Tale for the Time Being. After more than 20 years of mending from a real-estate and economic bubble, we believe now — in economic and stock-market terms — is once again Japan’s time being. As a student of the country and a lover of Japan’s culture and scenery, I waited a long time for this to happen. I’m encouraged by Prime Minister Abe’s initiatives and from our bottom-up analysis of Japanese corporations, and I think Japan’s resurgence might last longer than in the past.
So why Japan? As many of our investors know, our research process involves screening a large set of micro-cap companies, and then traveling the world to dig into the companies that we believe have the best investment potential. Based on our recent screening and deep due diligence, Japan has caught our attention. We are seeing Japanese corporations buying back shares, lifting wages, paying down debt, increasing dividends, and engaging in mergers and acquisitions. Best yet, Japan’s micro-cap stocks remain inexpensive on our metrics. We believe Japan is propelling its time being.
Our holdings in Japan outdid the strong performance of the Japanese component of the Index. Our decision to add
to the Fund’s weight in Japan during the quarter meant that we quickly closed what had been a large underweight gap relative to the Index.
The Fund’s consumer-discretionary sector aided performance relative to the Index. Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd., a franchise-license owner in Australia with operations around the world, was a top contributor for the quarter. Some of our larger emerging-market positions like Famous Brands Ltd., a South African food company, and Berjaya Food Bhd., a Malaysian restaurant operator, saw stock-price declines that detracted from the Fund’s generally strong performance in the consumer-discretionary sector.
Information technology (IT) was another strong sector within the Fund. IT and Internet service names EOH Holdings Ltd. (South Africa) and My EG Services Berhad (Malaysia) continued their strong performance from last quarter.
At about one-third of the portfolio, our biggest sector weight is consumer staples. This was one of the better-performing sectors in the Index during the quarter, and we gained a lot of relative performance from our overweight position. Gains in the stock prices of Japanese drug-store chain Kusuri No Aoki Co. Ltd. and Philippine Seven Corp. more than offset the decline of Singapore bakery chain BreadTalk Group Ltd.
The Fund struggled in the financials sector and our holdings underperformed those in the benchmark. Insurer British-American Investments Co. Kenya Ltd. (Kenya) was the biggest detractor in the sector.
Our pharmaceutical stocks were down, while those in the Index were up. This was the primary reason that, despite the strong performance of United Arab Emirates health-care provider NMC Health plc, the health-care sector detracted from performance relative to the Index.
OUTLOOK
We will be traveling through Japan to meet with companies’ management teams. With many people on Wasatch’s research team who know Japan well and a history of good stock-picking in the market, we feel we have the ability to execute well in this market.
Japan is not the only country where we see positive changes. After several years of sluggish growth in China, we are seeing some corporations step up and cut expenses. This is critical in a slow-growth world where revenue expansion is hard to come by. Growth has to come from more creative methods like cost cutting, debt unwinding, share buy backs and dividends to shareholders.
As we continue to scour the globe for high-quality micro-cap companies, we have been increasingly impressed with the valuations and momentum of companies in Asia, and Japan in particular. Likewise, we are cognizant of attractive valuations appearing across Europe. The harder we look, the more excited we become about the great opportunities we are uncovering around the world.
Thank you for allowing us to invest your hard-earned assets. It is a privilege we don’t take lightly.

WASATCH LARGE CAP VALUE FUND (FMIEX / WILCX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by David Powers.
David Powers, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund — Investor Class was down -0.31% for the first quarter of 2015 and slightly outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which lost -0.72%. U.S. large-cap stocks traded without clear direction over the quarter, despite ongoing signs of strengthening in the domestic economy. The employment backdrop continued to improve, and |
consumers also benefited from the recent decline in oil prices. The U.S. Federal Reserve maintained its message that the inevitable tightening of monetary policy would be measured, given an inflation rate that has remained below target and lackluster wage growth.
For the benchmark, health-care and consumer-discretionary stocks led returns, while information-technology and utilities stocks lagged. In the Fund, our health-care stocks trailed the Index, but our performance in information technology and industrials and lack of ownership in utilities helped returns relative to the Index.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Leading individual contributors included consumer-electronics icon Apple, Inc. Apple has continued to benefit from better-than-anticipated sales of its latest iPhone model. Revenues, earnings and margins have exceeded expectations in recent quarters. In addition, Apple has continued to showcase its ability to bring innovative new products to market, most recently with the introduction of a new smartwatch.
Shire plc was another leading contributor to the Fund’s return. Shire specializes in the acquisition and development of so-called “orphan” drugs that are designed to treat rare diseases. The stock became attractive when a competitor walked away in October 2014 from a bid to acquire the company, giving investors an opportunity to buy growth at an inexpensive valuation.
Leading wireless provider Verizon Communications, Inc. rebounded after lagging in the prior quarter. Verizon has been subject to balance sheet management concerns since borrowing heavily to buy Vodafone’s stake in Verizon’s wireless business in early 2014. It was also feared that Verizon would overextend itself in the U.S. government’s November 2014 auction of wireless spectrum. However, the consensus regarding Verizon’s spectrum purchases was that the company’s actions were reasonable in relation to peers and the company’s overall financial picture.
On the downside, Canadian integrated oil company Suncor Energy, Inc. saw its share price decline, largely due to continued softening in oil prices. The decline in oil has impacted not only the profitability of Suncor’s oil sands assets, but also forced the company to mark down the value of its refining inventory. We believe Suncor’s refining activities provide a measure of insulation from oil price
volatility relative to pure exploration and production firms.
Household products firm Kimberly-Clark Corp. also lagged in the quarter. The company’s results have been constrained by the strong upward move in the U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign currency movements also impacted results in key international markets. Kimberly-Clark was the first consumer-staples company to announce an earnings miss in the wake of these currency-related factors, and we believe the stock suffered disproportionately over the short term as a result.
Eastman Chemical Co. is a commodities and specialty-chemicals company with a vast line of products used in a wide variety of industrial production processes, ranging from adhesives to plastics to paint additives. The company’s results are heavily tied to the overall global economic climate, and have suffered from softening demand outside the U.S., especially in China. The rise in the dollar has also weighed on results. We view these negative factors as short-term issues, and the stock price as attractive relative to the company’s earnings.
It is worth noting that we continue to hold meaningful positions in Suncor, Kimberly-Clark and Eastman despite their weak performance for the quarter. It can take several quarters — and even several years — for our investment thesis for a company to play out, so a weak quarter is typically not a reason to sell. Oftentimes, a drop in stock price is an opportunity to add to our position if we believe our thesis remains intact.
OUTLOOK
The U.S. economy appears positioned to continue to strengthen for some time, with employment numbers showing meaningful improvement against a favorable backdrop of low interest rates, low inflation and low oil prices. One factor that bears monitoring as conditions strengthen is the impact on corporate margins of any cycle of wage increases for U.S. workers.
There are also concerns about the extent to which sub-par growth overseas may act as a headwind with respect to further progress, but we are optimistic that these obstacles should not be overly disruptive to the U.S. economy.
Company valuations in general are high and we see few opportunities to add interesting names to the Fund. That said, we are evaluating the degree to which the recent decline in energy-related stocks may have created long-term opportunities. In addition, we are considering the extent to which utility stocks may continue to benefit from the low cost of capital at current interest-rate levels, and what price level for the sector would suggest an attractive entry point.
More broadly, the Fund is positioned with a strong tilt toward what we consider to be high-quality, larger-capitalization stocks. This area of the market is not only where we see the best relative value, but also the potential to provide support for the Fund should the economy and markets surprise to the downside. As always, we will continue to apply our rigorous process to stock selection.
We thank you for your continued confidence and investment in the Fund.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

As of the January 31, 2015 prospectus, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Wasatch Large Cap Value Fund are Investor Class — Gross: 1.12%, Net: 1.10% / Institutional Class — Gross: 1.25%, Net: 0.98%.

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.
Investments in value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. Loss of principal is a risk of investing.

WASATCH LONG/SHORT FUND (FMLSX / WILSX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Long/Short Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Michael Shinnick and Ralph Shive.
Michael Shinnick Lead Portfolio Manager |
Ralph Shive, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Six years into the stock-market rally, the market is being driven by multiple expansion as earnings growth slows due to headwinds from the strong dollar and commodity price declines. |
On the long side, we see significant value in the energy fire sale. We believe aggressive adjustments on the supply side combined with growing global demand will stabilize energy prices and act as a catalyst for a cyclical recovery in energy. Real assets, including energy, provide a hedge against potential unintended consequences from the unprecedented global central bank monetary easing.
The Fund’s long positions are in companies that we believe are high quality and are valued at low teens multiples. We are hedging against market risk with real assets and our short portfolio.
For the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Long/Short Fund — Investor Class fell -1.68%, lagging the 0.95% return of the S&P 500 Index. The vast majority of the weakness in relative performance was driven by the Fund’s energy-related exposure. The sharp 50% decline in oil prices impacted any company with energy exposure. On the short side of the portfolio, our exposures in aggregate rose about the same as the market, though the impact was minimal given that we were at the low end of our historic short exposure.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
The Fund has had a relatively high allocation to energy-related stocks for a number of years, based in large part on our preference for companies tied to real assets in an era of money printing by central banks. We believe real assets provide a valuable hedge against the unintended consequences of central bank actions.
Within energy, commodity price declines reduced the outlook for our offshore drillers’ capacity utilization and day rates. Ensco plc was the Fund’s largest detractor. We maintained our position, as we believe Ensco is well-positioned with a substantial contractual backlog to navigate conditions until the supply-and-demand backdrop becomes more favorable.
NOW, Inc., while technically classified as an industrials stock, was another leading energy-related detractor. Since NOW provides maintenance and supply services to energy firms, the company has seen its revenues and margins contract. We like NOW for its strong balance sheet and ability to generate free cash flow.
Halliburton Co. and Pioneer Natural Resources Co. were among the Fund’s top contributors for the quarter. These green shoots in the energy sector highlight the upside potential of the cyclical recovery.
The principal shift on the long side of the portfolio was reducing real-estate investment trust (REIT) exposure. We harvested gains by closing out a position in Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and trimmed our weightings in Iron Mountain, Inc. and American Campus Communities, Inc.
Within information technology, we reduced our holdings of Apple, Inc. based on the stock’s significant upward move, and rotated capital into QUALCOMM, Inc. and EMC Corp. Both companies feature cash-rich balance sheets, low P/E multiples and strong free cash flow generation.
The principal detractors on the short side were Boeing Co. and JC Penney Co., Inc. We closed our short position in Boeing after a stronger-than-expected report. Although JC Penney’s stock was boosted by holiday-season results that exceeded expectations, we view the company’s business model as structurally challenged.
We increased the Fund’s short exposure during the quarter on the view that extended valuations and slowing growth rates should result in contracting P/E multiples for such names as Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., Five Below, Inc. and Veeva Systems, Inc.
OUTLOOKAND FUND POSITIONING
In large part due to our energy exposure, the Fund has not participated in the market’s upside in recent quarters. We’ve examined the rationale for the Fund’s above-benchmark allocation to energy from multiple perspectives, and have made adjustments to our positioning within the sector. We are maintaining a meaningful overweight in energy based on the view that the companies we hold possess significant value not currently recognized by the market.
More broadly, exposure to companies with value propositions based on real assets has the potential to act as a hedge against the more-extreme scenarios in a world flooded with central bank-created currency. This type of hedge will not always provide near-term results, but we believe it’s consistent with our concern for preservation and growth of capital over the long term.
We are pleased to announce that Terry Lally has joined Wasatch Advisors as a Senior Research Analyst on the Fund’s portfolio-management team. Before joining Wasatch, Terry was chief investment officer of Spotlight Funds and Spotlight Capital Management, which he co-founded in 2007. Prior to that, he was a portfolio manager and principal with Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn in New York. A Harvard MBA and CFA charterholder, Terry began his investment career in 1989 as an analyst with Prudential Investments.
We believe the Fund is well-positioned for the upcoming investment environment, which we think will include a recovery in oil and other real assets. Be assured that we take seriously our responsibilities as stewards of your capital.
Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in the Fund.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH MICRO CAP FUND (WMICX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Dan Chace.
Dan Chace, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
For the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Micro Cap Fund gained 6.87% in what was a positive period for U.S. equities. The Fund surpassed its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index, which rose 3.14%. Stocks advanced despite several factors that unsettled financial markets and added to investor uncertainty including continued strength in the U.S. dollar and a further slide in the price of crude oil. |
In addition, the Commerce Department reported that personal spending fell in January for the second month in a row — its first back-to-back decline since April 2009. Not surprisingly, consumer-discretionary stocks underperformed in the Fund and the Index. With consumers cautious, investors seeking growth turned increasingly to the types of health-care and information-technology stocks that have been mainstays of the Fund. In those sectors of the market especially, our goal has been to identify innovative companies using disruptive technologies to take market share from competitors.
In complex areas such as health care and technology, we believe our research expertise provides an indispensable advantage. The Wasatch team includes a PhD scientist with a background in clinical research. Her understanding of the approval process for new treatments — and the science behind them — helps us to better assess the risks and potential rewards of investing in micro-cap health-care companies. During the first quarter, our health-care and information-technology stocks outgained the benchmark’s holdings in those sectors and were the strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
The Fund’s largest contributor to performance for the quarter was Esperion Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing cholesterol-lowering medications. Esperion’s share price soared on positive top-line results from a clinical trial for the leading drug candidate in its pipeline. The company plans to begin a Phase 3 study, generally the final stage of the Food and Drug Administration approval process, by the end of the year.
Cempra, Inc. also contributed after having been our top contributor in the previous quarter. This clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company develops antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. Cempra’s stock continued to rise on general optimism about its products, which include a promising new drug for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia.
Akorn, Inc., a manufacturer of generic and branded prescription pharmaceuticals, as well as animal and over-the-counter consumer-health products, was another strong stock from the health-care sector. Although we have been trimming the position on recent strength in the stock, Akorn
illustrates the benefits of being allowed to retain companies whose capitalizations have outgrown the upper limit for micro caps.
The Fund’s greatest detractor from performance for the quarter was TubeMogul, Inc., one of our biggest contributors in 2014. The company offers a cloud-based software platform that enables advertisers to plan, buy, measure and optimize their television and online-video advertising. Despite its having posted earnings that exceeded expectations, TubeMogul’s shares declined on weaker sales guidance for its fiscal-2015 first quarter and full year. We view this as a temporary setback for the company and remain patient.
Transportation company Saia, Inc. was another weak stock in the Fund. After rising dramatically for the past three years, Saia’s shares gave back some of those gains during the first quarter. The company specializes in less-than-truckload shipments in the U.S. trucking market. Its strong competitive position had enabled Saia to pass along higher fuel costs to its customers in the form of fuel surcharges. With energy prices now falling, however, investors fear that this source of revenue for the company may end.
InnerWorkings, Inc. was also a large detractor. The company offers outsourced print management, logistics, fulfillment and creative services for corporate clients. The share price of InnerWorkings fell sharply when it announced the departure of its chief financial officer. In addition, disappointing sales growth at the company had caused us to question its long-term prospects. Given the challenges to our investment thesis, we sold the stock to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
OUTLOOK
The encouraging start to 2015 brings with it ample reason for optimism. The U.S. economy continues to grow, inflation appears contained and households are benefiting from lower energy costs. At the same time, sources of uncertainty also are many. Chief among them is the extent to which — after six years of holding short-term interest rates near zero — the U.S. Federal Reserve will be able to fully wean the economy from its unprecedented monetary easing. Moreover, until we observe a pickup in personal-income growth, the sustainability of the current economic expansion must at least be questioned.
We were pleased to see the solid fundamentals of our companies driving the Fund’s performance in the first quarter. As the top-performing holdings in the Fund have grown in value, we have been trimming position sizes to maintain our desired weights. We also have been more aggressive in selling companies that have disappointed. At Wasatch, we consider our sell discipline an integral part of our bottom-up investment process, which we believe has the potential to deliver attractive investment returns over the long term.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH MICRO CAP VALUE FUND (WAMVX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Brian Bythrow.
Brian Bythrow, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
For the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund gained 5.78% in what was a positive period for micro-cap equities. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index, which rose 3.14%. Stocks of small companies outpaced large-company stocks as the U.S. dollar continued to climb against most foreign currencies. A rising greenback cuts the value of revenues earned overseas |
and makes companies focused on U.S. markets more attractive. Because large companies typically have a greater global presence than small companies, micro caps benefited from the dollar’s first-quarter strength.
Although the Fund normally does not hedge its foreign-currency exposure, we used a forward currency contract to blunt the impact of the euro’s decline against the dollar. With stocks in the U.S. valued more richly than in the rest of the world, our international holdings did well in the first quarter and added to Fund performance. By allowing the Fund to retain most of the gains in our euro-denominated stocks, the currency hedge was another factor that helped the Fund to surpass its benchmark.
Holding no energy companies in the Fund also helped performance by avoiding direct exposure to what was the worst-performing sector of the Index for the third quarter in a row. However, we used the weakness in energy as an opportunity to add companies from other sectors whose businesses are tied to energy production.
Health-care companies continued to benefit from strong demand and favorable demographic trends. Despite the Fund’s modest holdings in the soaring biotechnology industry, advantageous stock-picking enabled our health-care stocks to outgain the benchmark’s health-care positions. Our information-technology stocks also outpaced the benchmark’s holdings and provided the Fund’s largest source of outperformance.
The lesser-known, often under-researched character of micro-cap stocks can sometimes cause their prices to be driven by perceptions rather than company fundamentals. In the first quarter, the weak performance of our industrials suggested that investors believed our industrial companies have more overseas revenues and greater currency exposure than they actually do.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Nobilis Health Corp., in connection with its physician partners, develops, owns and operates outpatient-surgery centers. Consisting of private investment in public equity (PIPE) and warrants, the Fund’s position in Nobilis was its largest contributor to performance for the quarter. Amid strong operating results and increased attention from investors, the company’s securities have soared in value. While we continue to hold the warrants, we sold the equity shares to manage the overall size of the position.
Our second-largest contributor was Ebix, Inc., which provides software and e-commerce solutions to the insurance industry. After having overcome a series of challenges that included an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ebix now appears positioned to resume its growth.
Gentherm, Inc., the third-largest contributor to Fund performance, manufactures individualized climate-control systems for automobile seats, steering wheels and cup holders. Shares of Gentherm rebounded during the first quarter when investor concerns about an imminent downturn in global sales of automobiles proved unfounded.
The greatest detractor from Fund performance for the quarter was MusclePharm Corp., a company that sells sports-nutrition products in the U.S. and internationally. MusclePharm’s share price fell sharply when management reported a wider-than-expected loss. Higher spending to support the company’s ambitious marketing initiatives has delayed its move to profitability and disappointed investors.
Transportation company Saia, Inc. was our second-largest detractor. Saia specializes in less-than-truckload shipments in the U.S. trucking market. Its strong competitive position had enabled the company to pass along higher fuel costs to customers in the form of fuel surcharges. With energy prices now falling, however, investors fear that this source of revenue may be curtailed. These concerns do not materially impact our long-term outlook for Saia, and we continue to own it in the Fund.
Acacia Research Corp. was our third-largest detractor. In addition to helping small companies protect their patents against infringement by large competitors, Acacia negotiates patent licensing agreements between patent owners and licensees, and purchases patent portfolios for its own development and legal enforcement. The company’s share price fell sharply in January when it lost an important patent-infringement case against several large corporations. We sold the stock to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
OUTLOOK
With the Federal Reserve (Fed) expected to begin raising interest rates later this year, we think U.S. equity markets may face some short-term headwinds. Historically, transitions to monetary tightening after a cycle of monetary easing have been choppy, as investors try to anticipate the precise timing of the shift in policy. In the current circumstance, the Fed’s decision is complicated by a rising dollar, falling energy prices and a U.S. economy that may be losing steam.
Meanwhile, we continue to find equity valuations much more attractive outside the U.S. As central banks in Europe and Japan extend their quantitative-easing programs, we also think the near-term environment for international equities may be more favorable. Recent additions to the Fund have consisted largely of international companies, and we expect to remain focused on finding high-quality international micro-caps with exciting long-term growth prospects.

WASATCH SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND (WAAEX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Jeff Cardon and JB Taylor.
Jeff Cardon, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
JB Taylor Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Small-cap stocks were strong in the first quarter of 2015. The Russell 2000 Index advanced 4.32% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index gained 6.63%. After a year of trailing the S&P |
500® Index, small caps outperformed their larger-cap counterparts for the second quarter in a row. It was also another quarter in which the average small-cap manager underperformed. In this context, we were pleased the Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund delivered a return of 7.58% and outperformed its benchmarks. Stock picking helped the Fund and was especially strong in two of the best-performing areas of the market — biotechnology and information technology.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
The backdrop for small-cap fundamentals is the best we have seen in a long time. However, valuations remain high for U.S. small caps. The number of companies with market valuations greater than 10 times revenues, a metric we would consider “extreme” remains close to an all-time high. A historically low number of companies today qualify as inexpensive (less than 1 times revenues). We believe we must maintain our valuation discipline in this elevated market.
It’s not customary for the Fund to outperform in such a strong small-cap market. Our focus on high-quality companies typically has resulted in the Fund giving up some performance relative to the indices in the strongest of markets, but it has often outperformed by a wide margin in choppier markets. To illustrate, on the 100 worst market days between December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2015, the Russell 2000 Growth Index was down, on average, -1.6%, and the Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund outperformed on 93% of those days. We attribute our recent outperformance in a stronger market to the underlying fundamentals of our individual portfolio companies.
It’s impossible to discuss the current market environment without addressing the phenomenal performance of the biotechnology industry. The average biotechnology stock in the Russell 2000 Growth Index was up approximately 15% in the quarter, more than double the overall Index return. Biotechnology stocks have outperformed in 13 of the last 16 quarters.
The biotech industry has been exciting for us to research due to the enormous amount of innovation and groundbreaking science. It’s also an industry fraught with challenges for investors. Most companies go years without generating profits, and a company with great science may still fail to win approval for its products from the Food and Drug Administration.
More biotech companies will fail than succeed, and the big winners heavily skew the industry’s performance.
Our approach has been to own a basket of small weights in companies that we believe have great science and proven management teams. Our basket approach paid off in the first quarter. Among the winners were Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. and Cempra, Inc. For Esperion, recent Phase 2B clinical studies confirmed our thesis that the company’s cholesterol-lowering drug will be an important therapy in the battle against heart disease. Cempra is developing one of the few new antibiotic drugs to treat bacterial pneumonia and other “superbugs” that are becoming more and more resistant to older drugs.
We wouldn’t be surprised to see the broader biotech industry retreat sometime soon. Not every company will deliver results like Esperion, yet investors continue to bid up biotech stocks broadly. We will continue to execute our same biotech strategy, remaining underweight compared to the benchmark, while investing in a basket of companies that fit our investment criteria.
The U.S. dollar continued to strengthen in the first quarter and the price of oil remained nearly 50% below the price last summer. Low-priced oil helps a company like our small-cap airline Allegiant Travel Co., where fuel is the largest single cost item in the income statement. Allegiant was the second-best contributor to performance in the quarter.
From 2006 through 2012, MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. executed superbly and continued to take profitable share in a large maintenance, repair and operations market. Since then, the company has struggled to turn investment spending on new initiatives into profitable growth.
Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. posted a solid fourth quarter, but management gave disappointing guidance. With 30% of Cornerstone’s revenues generated outside the U.S., the strong dollar will make the company’s growth rate look lower in the short term. Still, we believe Cornerstone is one of the most attractively valued software-as-a-service businesses in the market.
MakeMyTrip Ltd., India’s dominant travel company, detracted from first quarter performance, but our investment thesis remains intact. The company has been benefiting from the explosion in broadband and smartphone penetration in India.
OUTLOOK
From our vantage point, the operating environment for U.S. small-cap companies continues to improve and the average U.S. small-cap company’s fundamentals are accelerating. This is a good environment for us to execute our bottom-up selection process, as we focus on what we consider to be the highest-quality and best-managed long-duration growth companies. Our companies have consistently posted revenue and earnings growth rates that are higher than the average company. The ability to capture above-average earnings growth, compounded patiently over time, is at the center of our time-tested investment philosophy.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

WASATCH SMALL CAP VALUE FUND (WMCVX / WICVX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Jim Larkins.
Jim Larkins Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Domestic small-cap value stocks rose slightly during the first quarter of 2015, as gauged by the 1.98% return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. The Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund — Investor Class delivered a robust gain of 8.24% and comfortably outperformed the benchmark on the strength of our individual stock selection. Our stock picks performed particularly well in the energy, |
consumer-discretionary and financials sectors, all of which outperformed their benchmark counterparts. We believe our success in these areas underscores our longstanding view that the small-cap value universe offers abundant stock-specific opportunities, even when trends in individual sectors — or the stock market as a whole — are unfavorable.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Among the Fund’s three underlying strategies, our Fallen Angel discipline performed well and followed through on its strong fourth quarter of 2014. This strategy includes companies that we extensively research, often for years, and then purchase when short-term developments cause their valuations to fall to attractive levels. Early in 2015, many of these Fallen Angels reversed temporary missteps and accelerated internal business momentum, resulting in strong stock price gains. We believe this helps illustrate the essential role of patience in value investing.
A good example of our patient process in action is Fallen Angel Ebix, Inc., a supplier of software and services used by insurance companies and brokers that finished the quarter as the Fund’s top performer. We established our current position in Ebix in July 2013, when the stock collapsed after a proposed buyout offer was withdrawn due to a regulatory investigation. We had known the company for many years and had owned the stock previously, so we understood some of the controversies that could arise. However, our research showed Ebix to have a strong, valuable, and cash-generating business, which gave us the confidence to invest at a depressed valuation. When some of the regulatory issues cleared up and the company once again posted solid results, the stock surged and made a strong contribution to the Fund’s first-quarter performance.
Our Quality Value strategy also added value in the quarter thanks in large part to the strength of our holdings in the energy sector. During the fourth quarter of 2014 and the early portion of this year, we focused our energy weight in companies with stronger balance sheets and healthier underlying businesses than the average energy company. In turn, we eliminated energy holdings that we expected to struggle if energy prices fell further and remained low for a considerable amount of time. For instance, we exited our investments in Comstock Resources, Inc., DXP Enterprises, Inc. and seismic-equipment provider Geospace Technologies
Corp. At the same time, we chose to add to the Fund’s position in fuel logistics company World Fuel Services Corp. following the tumble in oil prices late in 2014. The company provides improved cost certainty to its customers, which means that volatile energy prices actually benefit its results. This indeed proved to be the case, and the stock outpaced the overall energy sector by a wide margin. Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. and Ultra Petroleum Corp., also recovered from a weak fourth quarter to deliver returns well above that of the overall energy sector.
The Undiscovered Gem portion of the Fund, which emphasizes stocks with strong fundamentals that haven’t yet been recognized by Wall Street, also continued to deliver positive returns. Icon plc, Mallinckrodt plc and Skechers U.S.A., Inc. were all strong performers during 2014, and all continued to produce gains in the first quarter of 2015. Auto lender Credit Acceptance Corp. is a more recent addition to the Fund that we purchased last year after visiting with the company’s management team. Credit Acceptance was also among the leading individual contributors to first-quarter performance.
Acacia Research Corp. is an owner and defender of intellectual property and patents. Acacia’s stock lost ground due to a legal setback within its patent library and was our largest detractor for the quarter. We reduced the position early in the quarter on concerns about the company’s business model, which enabled us to sidestep some of the downside in the stock. Looking forward, some upcoming court cases could increase the value of Acacia’s intellectual-property holdings. Saia, Inc., a shipping and logistics company that specializes in smaller truckloads, also underperformed due to concerns about its pricing power.
OUTLOOK
We continue to hold a positive outlook on the economy, but much of the hoped-for benefits of improving growth and the “tax cut” from lower energy prices have been factored into current stock prices. We therefore will not hesitate to take profits where we think it is prudent, as we are always focused on finding optimal trade-offs between risk and return potential. More broadly speaking, we are seeking to maintain the performance we experienced early in 2015 and to enhance it with new value opportunities as we cast a wide net across the small-cap space. There are many moving pieces in the economy right now, with volatile energy prices, larger-than-normal currency fluctuations, and the potential for higher interest rates all representing factors that could potentially create opportunities in the stock market. Our investment discipline is designed to take advantage of the inefficiencies, and we will look to exploit opportunities as they arise.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

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. Investments in value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, entails special risks, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainties, which are described in more detail in the prospectus.

WASATCH STRATEGIC INCOME FUND (WASIX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Strategic Income Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Sam Stewart.
Samuel S. Stewart, Jr. PhD, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The first quarter of 2015 was another strong period for the Wasatch Strategic Income Fund as it earned a 1.72% return. Moreover, the Fund did better than the 0.95% advance of our stock benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and the 1.61% gain of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which serves as our bond measuring stick. I can’t help but be amazed by the exceptional returns we’ve earned over the past three years. The Fund’s |
annualized return has exceeded 16%, which is about twice our long-run goal. However, it is important for us to not rest on our laurels. This strong performance can’t continue. As economist Herb Stein noted, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.”
I would love to be able to preserve all of the gains of these past three years. However, in any fund such as ours, which strives to always be fully invested in stocks, this isn’t possible due to the inherent volatility of the stock market. Some managers undertake to shift their portfolios back-and-forth between stocks and cash depending on their market outlook. But this requires managers who are twice smart: Once when they buy and again when they sell. I have a hard enough time selecting the appropriate stocks for us to invest in without shouldering the additional task of trying to time the market.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
What I can and will do is to be ever vigilant about finding risks embedded in our portfolio beyond those we carry as a result of market fluctuations. For example, even though I believe Bill Ackman’s unrelenting attack on Herbalife Ltd. is misguided, last fall I decided to reduce our exposure to the company by selling half of the Fund’s position and replacing it with an investment in Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., another multi-level marketing company. While Nu Skin was also suffering from the fallout of Ackman’s attack on Herbalife, it was not in his direct line of fire. During the first quarter, Nu Skin was the top-contributing stock in the Fund.
The Blackstone Group L.P. was the second-best contributor for the quarter. Blackstone is one of our financial holdings and it is worth noting that our pattern of being overweight in financial stocks and seeing those stocks outperform their benchmark continued during the quarter. While Blackstone made the largest contribution to the strong showing of our financial holdings, Two Harbors Investment Corp., Colony Financial, Inc., NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. and Starwood Property Trust, Inc. were also significant contributors.
Blackstone is known for private-equity investing. Traditionally, private-equity firms have been accorded only low price-to-earnings multiples due to investor concerns about the cyclical nature of the private-equity business model. As
Blackstone has diversified by adding other lines of business, investors have rewarded the company’s stock through their willingness to pay a higher multiple. I think private-equity business models remain undervalued, so in addition to Blackstone, the Fund also holds KKR & Co. L.P., another private-equity firm that has added to its lines of business.
Home Loan Servicing Solutions Ltd. was the only stock that subtracted more than half a percentage point from the Fund’s quarterly return. The company suffered collateral damage from the regulatory attack on its business partner Ocwen Financial. I continued to hold the stock in spite of Ocwen’s regulatory woes, believing in the safety of Home Loan Servicing Solutions’ portfolio of home mortgage servicing advances. However, during the quarter the company became the target of short-sellers who drove its stock price down. As its stock price rebounded, I decided to eliminate what had become a volatile stock.
OUTLOOK
I don’t intend to be gloomy, but to paraphrase the aforementioned quote by Herb Stein, “These high levels of returns can’t continue.” I don’t see an immediate cause for their non-continuation other than valuation. Stocks simply can’t keep going up and up without hitting some sort of rational limit. No matter how good a company is, it is only worth so much. However, history suggests that corrections don’t happen just because stocks are richly valued. It usually takes some sort of economic or political crisis to precipitate a market correction.
While the U.S. economy seems to be doing well, the strong dollar is apt to take a toll sooner or later. Europe is currently struggling, as are Brazil and some parts of Asia. So, while a specific economic crisis doesn’t appear at hand, one certainly can’t be ruled out.
On the political front, I have plenty of cause for concern. Greece is still an issue. Russia is still being aggressive, and the Middle East and Africa are suffering various forms of chaos. Any of these conflicts could coalesce into a full-blown crisis.
As I said, please don’t read me as being gloomy, but rather, cautious.
As always, I appreciate the confidence you have shown in me and in Wasatch by allowing us to manage your hard-earned money. I especially appreciate those of you who, like me, are either nearing retirement or are already retired. We are well past the days when we can recoup any investment losses through our paychecks. Thus, it is incumbent on us to preserve the assets we have. For the Wasatch Strategic Income Fund, this is an important goal, which I will use all of my abilities to try to achieve.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH ULTRA GROWTH FUND (WAMCX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
The Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by John Malooly.
John Malooly, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
In the first quarter of 2015, the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund gained 7.19% in what was a volatile period for U.S. equities. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which rose 6.63%. Financial markets grappled with uncertainty as investors fretted over the timing of future interest-rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). Persistent strength in the U.S. dollar and |
ongoing weakness in the price of oil helped keep investors on edge. Stock prices swung abruptly at times, especially toward the beginning and the end of the quarter.
We strive to be aware of macro conditions, including the potential results of monetary policies, and how they might affect the Fund. But as bottom-up investors, we do not try to predict the Fed’s moves or formulate strategies based on economic forecasts. Instead, our response to heightened uncertainty is to pay extra-close attention to the underlying fundamentals of our portfolio companies. With risk elevated and small-cap equity valuations looking rich, we seek to own companies with steady or improving business prospects. We believe those types of companies have the ability to weather uncertain conditions better than their competitors and would be the most likely to continue growing in the event of an economic downturn.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
Two of our biggest contributors for the quarter were Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. and Cempra, Inc. These development-stage biopharmaceutical companies were analyzed with the help of one of our research analysts. This analyst is a PhD scientist with a background in clinical research — someone who truly understands the science that companies like these utilize. Her expertise in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industries is rather unique in investment management and we believe it enables Wasatch to better assess the risks and potential rewards of investing in small-cap health-care companies.
Both Esperion and Cempra have experienced management teams that understand the critical steps required to obtain Food and Drug Administration approval to offer a drug in the United States. Esperion benefited from positive clinical results for its promising cholesterol-lowering medication, while Cempra received encouraging results in a late-stage study of its oral antibiotic for hard-to-treat bacterial pneumonia.
Another top contributor to performance was IPG Photonics Corp., a developer and manufacturer of high-performance fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. Because the company has significant sales overseas, we pared back our position in IPG to reduce the Fund’s exposure to the surging U.S. dollar.
Our greatest detractor from performance for the first quarter was TubeMogul, Inc. The company offers a cloud-based software platform that enables advertisers to plan, buy, measure and optimize television and online-video advertising. Despite reporting stronger-than-expected earnings, TubeMogul’s share price fell on weaker sales guidance. We expect the company to continue to deliver exceptional growth and we used the decline as an opportunity to increase the Fund’s position in the stock. In our view, TubeMogul should continue to benefit from recent trends in advertising.
The second-largest detractor from performance in the quarter was Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. The company uses the software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model to provide talent-management solutions for large organizations. During the quarter, investors reacted negatively to the company’s conservative guidance for 2015. However, with Cornerstone’s main competitors having been acquired by larger companies, we think the company is well-positioned to capture a larger share of the growing human-resources software market.
Balchem Corp. was another significant detractor. The company provides specialty chemicals and performance ingredients for a range of industries worldwide. Its products include environmentally friendly alternatives to the traditional clay stabilizers used in oil and natural-gas production. Although Balchem’s shares declined on concern that lower energy prices may impact sales, we think the current stock price reflects that risk.
OUTLOOK
Rapid technological change is creating opportunities for businesses to attract new customers by addressing their unmet needs. We believe small companies are uniquely suited to filling those needs through the development of innovative products and services. Small companies, by their very nature, are more nimble and can respond more rapidly than larger companies as new opportunities arise.
The most-promising small companies in our eyes are the ones using proprietary, disruptive technologies to take market share from competitors. While health care, software and electronics have been among the most prolific areas of technological innovation in recent years, almost every aspect of daily life and commerce offers the potential for companies to create new and better alternatives. We were pleased not only to see this theme play out during the first quarter, but also to witness its positive impact on the fundamentals and stock prices of several portfolio companies.
As we apply our disciplined investment approach, we will continue seeking high-quality small companies that we believe can innovate and grow even in a weak environment. Regardless of incremental changes to Fed policy, or short-term fluctuations in the price of oil, we believe the U.S. is likely to remain an attractive place for companies to conduct business and locate, and we remain optimistic about its future.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH WORLD INNOVATORS FUND (WAGTX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
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 Lead Portfolio Manager |
Josh Stewart Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Last quarter, the Wasatch World Innovators Fund saw light at the end of the tunnel after what was mostly a disappointing 2014. We are happy to report that the Fund emerged from the long, dark tunnel |
and beat its benchmark during the first quarter of 2015. The Fund gained 2.93% versus the MSCI All Country World Investable Market Index, which gained 2.58%. We’d like to think this is the first step back onto the path of consistently beating the market with a concentrated portfolio of investments in high-quality companies that are taking market share in their industries.
Our strategy, in spite of a couple of bad quarters in 2014, built the Fund’s average annual total return over the past five-year period of 13.84%, and bested the benchmark’s 9.25% return over the same period. We often go out of our way to call attention to longer-horizon results because we think our investors should look at how the Fund has done over the long run, instead of focusing on how much it beat the benchmark by this quarter or its slight underperformance last quarter. Admittedly, we do it for ourselves too, because it helps keep us grounded, especially after short runs of exceptionally good or bad performance.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
The key metrics we focus on continue to suggest that the Fund is populated with companies that fit the World Innovators’ mission to find sustainable market-share winners with outstanding business models. At the end of the quarter, the Fund’s weighted-average sales and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) growth were 15% and 12%, respectively, versus the benchmark’s figures of 8% and 8%, respectively, and in a global economy growing closer to 2%. We interpret the higher growth rates that our companies have achieved to mean they are taking market share from competitors.
Next, we track the return on assets (ROA) of the portfolio, which in the first quarter came in at 12%, well above the benchmark average of 7%. We think better returns on investment suggest that our companies have above-average management teams and business models that place them in a virtuous circle: higher returns generated per dollar (or euro or yen) invested means more dollars to invest in growth initiatives; investments lead to faster sales growth and market-share gains at the expense of the competition, or in other words a bigger “piece of the pie” each year; the larger “piece of the pie” brings scale benefits such as
purchasing power and better operational leverage on assets and overhead with the outcome being even higher returns on capital and more dollars to invest each and every year.
The final key metric we track, and the one we are currently the least pleased with, is the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. As of quarter end, our portfolio traded at 28 times trailing 12-month earnings compared to 24 times for the benchmark. We think the premium we pay for the stocks we hold is normal given their higher growth rates and ROA, so that’s not the concern. What we don’t like is that stock prices were above average compared to history last year, and this year they are more above average. For this reason, we have nudged the portfolio in a more conservative direction, selling some fast-growing, high-priced tech stocks like Twitter, Inc. and Ocado Group plc (United Kingdom), and adding some of our favorite defensive growth companies that we believe are reasonably priced. Names we added included Computer Programs and Systems, Inc., a software developer for small hospitals; PriceSmart, Inc., the “Costco” of the Caribbean and Central America; and, yes, our old friend Apple, Inc. These companies are innovators taking market share from the competition, with far more cash stored up than debts owed on their books, and consistently high returns on capital invested.
OUTLOOK
Stocks simply can’t keep going up and up without hitting some sort of rational limit. No matter how good a company is, it is only worth so much. However, history suggests that corrections don’t happen just because stocks are richly valued. It usually takes some sort of economic or political crisis to precipitate a market correction.
While the U.S. economy seems to be doing well, the strong dollar is apt to take a toll sooner or later. Europe is currently struggling as are Brazil and some parts of Asia. So while a specific economic crisis doesn’t appear at hand, one certainly can’t be ruled out.
On the political front, we have plenty of cause for concern. Greece is still an issue. Russia is still being aggressive. The Middle East and Africa are suffering various forms of chaos. Any of these conflicts could coalesce into a full-blown crisis.
Please don’t read this and walk away feeling gloomy. That’s certainly not the way we feel. We believe in the growth potential of our innovative companies. But we are on heightened alert when stock prices are high, and we strive to invest cautiously and we hope wisely.
As always, we appreciate the confidence you have shown in us and in Wasatch by allowing us to manage your hard-earned money.
Current and future holdings are subject to risk.

WASATCH-1ST SOURCE INCOME FUND (FMEQX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
Paul Gifford, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund was up 1.04% for the first quarter of 2015. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returned 1.45% for the quarter. Interest rates generally fell during the quarter despite expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would raise the federal funds rate later this year. The 10-year Treasury saw its yield fall from 2.2% to |
1.9% during the quarter helping to produce a positive return for the Fund.
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
The U.S. economy’s growth in the first quarter likely slowed versus the second half of 2014. Harsh winter weather in parts of the country contributed to the slowdown, but nothing like a year ago when winter weather was a factor in the drop in gross domestic product (GDP). The economy also continued to add new jobs. In 2014, over three million new jobs were created and the economy appears on track to create about the same number of jobs in 2015. The addition of the new jobs should help the economic recovery continue.
Globally, challenges continue to slow economic growth. Recently, in a program similar to that of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank started a bond-buying program to stimulate growth. Lastly, the economic benefit many consumers are enjoying from lower oil prices is a challenge for oil-exporting countries, as lower-priced oil has caused revenue to plummet.
INTEREST RATES
The Fed had been using the word “patient” to describe its approach to eventually raising interest rates. The Fed has been closely monitoring inflation, which has remained below the annual target rate of 2%, as well as job creation, wage growth and the strength of the U.S. dollar. Investors were well-prepared for “patient” to be removed from the Fed’s March 2015 communiqué and both the equity and bond markets had positive returns on that day. So far, investors appear to have great belief in how the Fed has been managing the economy.
We expect to see a mild interest-rate increase later this year, the first since the summer of 2007 just before the Great Recession. In the past, the expectation that the Fed was likely to raise rates would normally lead to an increase in rates prior to the actual increase. The opposite has happened this time. Yields on bonds from two to 30 years in maturity have fallen. This led to positive returns for most taxable-bond investors in the first quarter.
STRATEGY
The Fund’s interest-rate strategy is to be less exposed to interest-rate risk than the benchmark. The Fund’s effective duration is 3.02 years compared to the benchmark’s duration of 3.93 years. There has been a change in how we are
achieving this structure. The purchases we made during the first quarter targeted the five- to seven-year part of the yield curve rather than the three- to five-year segment. Fixed-income securities with shorter maturities may experience a rise in rates, while longer maturities could see little change or a modest rise, but would be expected to produce better returns if the yield curve flattens.
The Fund had 9.1% of the portfolio in bonds with durations of five years or more at the start of the quarter and had 13.9% by the end of the quarter, and yet the Fund’s duration only increased 0.05 years over the period. The trades we made also improved the yields earned on the bonds we purchased. To accomplish this change, we bought bonds of Goldman Sachs, Applied Materials, Northern Trust, HCP and Lockheed Martin.
To offset the risk of bonds with longer maturities, we have overweighted the Fund in bonds with durations of less than two years. These shorter-maturity bonds make up 35% of the portfolio. We believe this structure positions the Fund to respond to the eventual rise in interest rates.
During the quarter, the overall mix of the types of bonds held by the Fund changed little. Corporate bonds remained near 45% of the portfolio. Government-agency bonds dropped from 30% to 29%, while asset-backed securities increased from 20% to 21%.
We believe that a modestly growing economy with an accommodative Fed bode well for corporate earnings and the Fund’s overweight in corporate bonds. We have been focusing the Fund’s credit exposure on A-rated bonds with a slight underweight compared to the Index in BBB-rated bonds.*

WASATCH-HOISINGTON U.S. TREASURY FUND (WHOSX) — Management Discussion | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
Van Hoisington Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The continued slowing in economic growth coupled with minimal inflation led to a continuation of the decline in long-term interest rates and last year’s bond-market rally into the first quarter of 2015. Accentuating the move to lower interest rates was the decline in inflation. The subdued inflation environment was supported by commodity prices extending their decline. Further, dollar strength, which causes the |
lowering of import prices, was an important factor in the favorable bond-market environment. On March 31, 2015, 30-year Treasury bond yields closed at 2.54%, down from 2.75% on December 31, 2014, 3.20% on September 30, 2014 and 3.56% on March 31, 2014.
DETAILSOFTHE QUARTER
For the quarter, six-month and 12-month periods ended March 31, 2015, the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund gained 5.16%, 16.95% and 27.92%, respectively. These returns far outpaced the gains in the benchmark Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which were 1.61%, 3.43% and 5.72%, respectively.
For the three-, five- and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2015, the Fund returned 9.07%, 13.14% and 8.96%, respectively, versus 3.10%, 4.41% and 4.93%, respectively, for the Index. Thus in all major time spans, the Fund provided considerably larger returns than the benchmark.
OUTLOOKFORTHE YEAR
It appears that U.S. economic growth was weaker in the first calendar quarter of 2015 than in the final calendar quarter of 2014, which showed a nominal growth rate of only 2.2%.
Nominal gross domestic product (GDP) is the most reliable of all the economic indicators since, as the sum of cash-register receipts, it constitutes the top-line revenues of the economy. From this stream of receipts everything must be paid, including wages, dividends, light bills, etc. Unfortunately the growth rate of this broad economic indicator has been slowing. The change over the four quarters ended December 31, 2014 was only 3.7%, which is barely above the average entry point for all recessions since 1948. On only two occasions over the unprecedentedly weak expansion since 2009 has growth reached 4.7%, but in both cases the growth rate quickly fell back below 4.4%, which happens to be the U.S. economy’s growth rate when the recession began in 2008.
Nominal GDP can be divided into two parts. The first is the implicit price deflator, which measures price changes in the economy, and the second is the change in the volume of goods, which is termed real GDP. Both of these components are volatile, but recent experience is that they have both failed to reflect any stronger momentum in economic activity. In the past 15 years, real per-capita GDP (nominal GDP divided by the price deflator and population) grew a paltry
1% per annum. This subdued growth rate should be compared to the average expansion of 2.5%, which has been recorded since 1940. The reason for this sharply slower expansion over the past decade and a half has to do with the accumulation of too much debt. Numerous studies indicate that when total indebtedness in the economy reaches certain critical levels, there is a deleterious impact on real per-capita growth. Those important over-indebtedness levels were crossed in the late 1990s, which is the root cause for the underperformance of the economy in this latest expansion.
It is interesting to note that in this period of slower growth and lower inflation, long-term Treasury bond yields did have periods of rising interest rates as inflationary psychology shifted. However, the slow growth meant that the economy was too weak to withstand higher interest rates, and the result was a shift to lower rate levels as the economy slowed.
Our expectation for economic growth in 2015 is for further slowing in the growth rate over the course of the year. Nominal GDP should rise no more than 3% this year on a fourth quarter to fourth quarter basis. This slower pace in nominal GDP would be a continuation of the pattern of 2014 when nominal GDP decelerated from 4.6% in 2013 to 3.7% in 2014 measured on a fourth quarter to fourth quarter basis. Such slow top-line growth suggests that real growth and inflation should both be slower than last year.
In this slower economic-growth environment, we believe the outlook for lower inflation and lower bond yields remains most probable. Thus, the Fund continues to be invested in U.S. Treasury securities with maturities longer than 20 years.

If the price of the security rises above the warrant’s exercise price, the investor can buy the security at the warrant’s exercise price and resell it for a profit. Otherwise, the warrant will simply expire or remain unused. A warrant is listed on an options exchange and trades independently of the security with which it was issued.
The World Bank is a collection of international organizations that aid countries in their process of economic development with loans, advice and research. It was founded in the 1940s to aid Western European countries after World War II with capital.

WASATCH FUNDS — OPERATING EXPENSES (UNAUDITED) | MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | |
| ||
|
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, 2015.
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, 2015. 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 on the next page 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 on the next page. 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 Fund — Investor Class and the Income Fund 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 20 series or funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Core Growth Fund, Emerging India Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Long/Short 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 Markets Select Fund is a non-diversified fund. 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 five funds offer Institutional Class shares: Core Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, which commenced operations on January 31, 2012, as well as the Emerging Markets Select Fund and Long/Short Fund, which commenced operations on December 13, 2012. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to purchase minimums, distribution and service charges, shareholder services, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange and conversion features. 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 Select, 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, 2015. 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 14.
Foreign Currency Translations — Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates each business day (generally 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time). 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.
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 include return of capital or capital gain distributions, such distributions are recorded as a reduction to cost of the related security or as realized gain/loss.
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 June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU 2013-08”) to Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946, Financial Services —Investment Companies (“Topic 946”). ASU 2013-08 amends the guidance in Topic 946 for determining whether an entity qualifies as an investment company and requires certain additional disclosures. ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. FASB has determined that a fund registered under the 1940 Act automatically meets ASU 2013-08’s criteria for an investment company. Although still evaluating

| ||
|
the potential impact of ASU 2013-08, management expects that this will not have a material impact on the Funds’ 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. Refer to Note 15 (Offsetting) for more information about the offsetting of assets and liabilities.
Short Sales — The Long/Short 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. Refer to Note 15 (Offsetting) for more information about the offsetting of assets and liabilities.
Participation Notes — The Frontier Emerging Small Countries and the Global Opportunities Funds may invest in Participation Notes (P-Notes). P-Notes are promissory notes that are designed to offer a return linked to the performance of a particular underlying equity security or market. P-Notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and allow a fund to gain exposure to common stocks in markets where direct investment is not allowed, such as Saudi Arabia. While the holder of a P-Note is entitled to receive from the bank or broker-dealer any dividends or other distributions paid on the underlying securities, the holder is not entitled
to the same rights as an owner of the underlying securities, such as voting rights. Income received from P-Notes is recorded as dividend income in the Statement of Operations. P-Notes are considered general unsecured contractual obligations of the bank or broker-dealer. Risks associated with P-Notes include the possible failure of a counterparty (i.e., the issuing bank or broker-dealer) to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, inability to transfer or liquidate the notes, potential delays or an inability to redeem the notes before maturity under certain market conditions, and limited legal recourse against the issuer of the underlying common stock.
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 in the Schedule of Investments. In addition, a fund could be exposed to 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. Possible losses from uncovered written options may be unlimited. 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
120

| ||
|
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. Refer to Note 15 (Offsetting) for more information about the offsetting of assets and liabilities.

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 four funds. The Income Fund declares and pays dividends monthly. The Large Cap Value, 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 U.S. 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 gain (loss) on investments, options and foreign currency translations.

7. 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 2011. 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.
As of March 31, 2015 the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities on a tax basis were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.
Capital loss carryforwards are available through the date specified below to offset future realized net capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. To the extent future gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains will not be distributed.
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. 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, 2014 are as follows:

8. 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, 2016. If operating expenses are less than the specified expense limit for the Fund, the Advisor shall be entitled to recoup 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 through January 31, 2016). 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, do not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation. All amounts not recovered at the end of the period expire on January 31, 2016. Ordinary operating expenses exclude any interest, dividend expense on short sales/interest expense, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business. The costs of the Proxy Statement related to the identification and shareholder approval of Trustee Nominees were treated as extraordinary expenses in the 2010 fiscal year. The impact of these payments is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights. In late October 2013, it was discovered that the Long/Short Fund and Large Cap Value Fund had a 12b-1 receivable on the books which dated back to 2008 prior to the conversion of the 1st Source Funds to Wasatch Funds. It was determined that the amount should be written off as an extraordinary expense and posted to other expenses. The balance for the Large Cap Value Fund was $70,993 and the Long/Short Fund was $8,622. The impact of these write-offs is reflected in the Financial Highlights. Investment advisory fees and fees waived, if any, for the six months ended March 31, 2015 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Investment advisory fee and expense limitation annual rates are shown below.

Affiliated Trades — Certain Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in the procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Funds from or to another fund (or funds) that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further each transaction is effected at the current market price, as that term is defined under the procedures. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Funds had no purchases or sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.
Institutional Class Legal Fees — As disclosed in the annual report dated September 30, 2011, the Board approved a multi-class plan pursuant to which the Board established and designated two classes for each series known as Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Advisor paid the legal costs associated with the establishment and designation of the new share classes for existing funds.
Payments by Advisor — During the 2012 fiscal year the Advisor discovered a trade allocation error involving several of the Wasatch Funds. In August 2012, the Advisor reimbursed the Global Opportunities Fund $1,167, the Micro Cap Fund $1,074, the Micro Cap Value Fund $1,282, the Small Cap Growth Fund $46,199, the Ultra Growth Fund $940 and the World Innovators Fund $437 as reimbursement for the error plus interest.
During the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years, the Advisor paid certain audit, legal and/or printing fees of the Core Growth, Emerging Markets Small Cap, Large Cap Value, Long/Short Institutional Class, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Strategic Income and World Innovators Funds. The Advisor does not intend to be reimbursed for these amounts.
On February 20, 2013, the Advisor discovered a trade error involving the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund. The Advisor reimbursed the Fund $4,421.
The impact of the payments detailed above is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights.

10. 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 of the Advisor (“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, 2015, the Funds held the following restricted securities:

12. LINEOF CREDIT
Effective May 23, 2014, the Funds in the Trust renewed and amended agreements for two open lines of credit totaling $300,000,000, one of which is $100,000,000 uncommitted, and the other of which is $200,000,000 committed, with State Street Bank and Trust Company (together, the “Line”). The agreements, as amended, increased the amounts available on the Line from the prior total of $75,000,000, with $25,000,000 uncommitted and $50,000,000 committed. The 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) as in effect on the date of borrowing, plus a margin. Commitment fees are pro-rated among the Funds based upon relative average net assets. Interest expense is charged directly to a Fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by that Fund.
For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the following Funds had borrowings:

13. 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 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.
Non-Diversification Risk — A non-diversified fund can invest a larger portion of its assets in the stocks of a limited number of companies than a diversified fund, which means it may have more exposure to the price movements of a single security or small group of securities than funds that diversify their investments among many companies. The Emerging Markets Select Fund is non-diversified.
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, except the U.S. Treasury Fund, 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 Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund and International Opportunities Fund are 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 both the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund and the International Opportunities Fund should their operating expenses exceed 2.25% through at least January 31, 2016. The Emerging Markets Select Fund also has a significant portion of net assets concentrated in relatively few related accounts. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse the Emerging Markets Select Fund should the operating expenses exceed 1.69% for the Investor Class and 1.50% for the Institutional Class through at least January 31, 2016.
14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSAND INVESTMENTS
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Funds use various methods to measure the fair value 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.
Equity Securities (common and preferred stock) — Securities are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)(generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the valuation date. Equity securities and listed warrants 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 the National Association of Securities Dealer Automated Quotation system (“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 day, then the security shall be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service. If the mean cannot be calculated or there is no trade activity on a day, then the security shall be valued at the previous trading day’s price 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 mean 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. 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 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 apply equally to long or short equity positions in a fund.
Participation Notes — Investments are valued at the market price of the underlying security. Counterparty risk is regularly reviewed and considered for valuation.
Corporate Debt Securities — Investments are valued at current market value by a 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 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 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 mean of the last
bid price and ask price on the primary exchange or market as provided by a pricing service. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the market rate provided by the 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 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, a stated net asset value (NAV) for the partnership, if applicable, 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.
When the last day of the reporting period is a non-business day, certain foreign markets may be open on days the NYSE is closed, which could result in differences between the value of a fund’s portfolio securities on the last business day and the last calendar day of the reporting period. Any significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the fund for financial reporting purposes.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of March 31, 2015 in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities:

If the securities of an Asset Class are all the same level, the asset class is shown in total. If the securities of an Asset Class cross levels, the level with the smallest number of categories and with multiple levels within a category is displayed by category. The remaining categories that do not cross levels are combined into the “Other” category.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value for the six months ended March 31, 2015 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. There was a transfer of $8,730,919 from Level 1 to Level 2 in the Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund due to a security halted from trading as of March 31, 2015, a transfer of $29,936,586 from Level 2 to Level 1 in the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund due to a security having a stale price as of September 30, 2014 and an active price of March 31, 2015 and a transfer of $2,648,403 from Level 3 to Level 2 in the Micro Cap Value Fund due to a change in pricing strategy on a warrant and a PIPE.
The following is a reconciliation of the fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the Funds during the period ended March 31, 2015:
Fund | Market Value Beginning Balance 9/30/2014 | Purchases at Cost | Sales (Proceeds) | Accrued Discounts (Premiums) | Realized (Loss) | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Transfers in at Market Value | Transfers out at Market Value | Market Value Ending Balance 3/31/2015 | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments Held at 3/31/2015 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

* | The exercise price of the warrant will be within a range; the actual price is not set at this time. As such, this valuation is directionally sensitive to the determination of the exercise price within the range. |
** | Enterprise-Value-To-Revenue Multiple — (“EV/R”) A measure of the value of a stock that compares a company’s enterprise value to its revenue. |
*** | Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) is net income with interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization added back to it. EBITDA can be used to analyze and compare profitability between companies and industries because it eliminates the effects of financing and accounting decisions. |
Changes in EV/R multiples and EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value of an investment. Generally, a decrease in these multiples will result in a decrease in the fair value of an investment.
The Funds’ other Level 3 investments have been valued using unadjusted third-party transactions and quotations, unadjusted historical third party information or the unadjusted NAV of an investment in private investment companies. No unobservable inputs internally developed by the Funds have been applied to these investments, thus they have been excluded from the above table.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONSFOR ADVISORY AGREEMENTSOFTHE WASATCH FUNDSFOR 2015
At a meeting held on November 11-12, 2014 (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 (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”).
In preparation for their role in the evaluation of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session on October 28, 2014 and November 11, 2014. In addition to the executive sessions, the Independent Trustees also met with management of the Advisor at their quarterly meetings as well as at other times between the quarterly meetings throughout the year. At the quarterly meetings, the Board reviewed reports by the Advisor regarding, among other things, Fund investment performance and Fund expenses, compliance, valuation, regulatory matters, risk management and other matters relating to Fund operations. The Board also met with key investment personnel managing certain Funds during the year. In advance of the Meeting, the Board and independent legal counsel received materials and other information from the Advisor 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 industry profitability data for other advisors to unaffiliated investment companies); |
Ÿ | the management fees of the Advisor, including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of other unaffiliated peer 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 other unaffiliated peer funds compiled by an independent third party; and |
Ÿ | each respective Fund’s past performance, including comparisons with the performance of other unaffiliated peer funds compiled by independent third parties and with recognized benchmarks as described below. |
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. The information provided for the Meeting supplements the information the Board received throughout the year regarding the Funds’ performance and operations.
At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Trustees were joined by independent legal counsel. 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 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 October 28, 2014 executive session, independent legal counsel reviewed these duties and the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) directives relating to the approval of advisory contracts.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements and determining the factors to be considered and the weight given to each factor, the Independent Trustees relied upon their own business judgment, the legal advice provided by legal counsel and their accumulated knowledge and experience gained from overseeing the Funds and from the information provided by management and discussions with the Funds’ portfolio managers at the
139

|
Board meetings throughout the year. The Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for the Funds are the result of several years of review and discussion between the Board and Fund management and the Independent Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on the Board’s consideration of the fee arrangements and other factors developed in prior years. 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 material factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
A. | NATURE, EXTENTAND QUALITYOF SERVICES |
In considering the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ services, including portfolio management services (and the resulting Fund performance) and non-advisory or administrative services. The Independent Trustees reviewed information describing the Advisor’s and Sub-Advisors’ organization, business, resources and financial health. The Board considered information describing the Advisor’s investment process to constructing portfolios (including risk management), investment personnel and research teams. In connection with their service as Independent Trustees of the Trust, the Independent Trustees also periodically have met with the key investment personnel of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors managing the respective Fund’s portfolio and have evaluated their professional experience, qualifications and credentials as well as discussed their investment approach and research process. The Board recognized the depth and quality of the Advisor’s investment management and research capabilities and the research intensive investment process followed by the Advisor. 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 investing inconsistently with each Fund’s disclosures and without taking undue risks. As noted below, in reviewing the Advisor’s investment management performance, the Independent Trustees considered the performance of the Fund.
In addition to the investment advisory and research function, the Independent Trustees reviewed information concerning the myriad of other non-advisory services the Advisor provides to the Funds in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Funds and the quality of such services, including risk identification and management, service provider oversight (including over the Sub-Advisors, fund accountant, custodian, administrator and transfer agent), trade execution, compliance with Fund policies and procedures and with applicable federal and state securities laws, support services for the Board and its committees,
oversight of the preparation and filing of regulatory and tax reports, assistance with the preparation and distribution of prospectuses and shareholder reports, the valuation of portfolio securities, foreign registrations, cross trade monitoring, insurance renewals and other services necessary to support the Funds’ daily operations. In light of the regulatory emphasis on compliance and risk assessment, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s compliance functions and policies and procedures to identify and manage risks, the Advisor’s efforts to continue to refine its approach to risk identification and management, its commitment to these programs and its compliance and regulatory history.
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. In reviewing the portfolio management services, the Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the respective Sub-Advisor’s organization, investment process, the experience and qualifications of the applicable investment personnel, compliance program (including the Advisor’s review of the Sub-Advisors’ compliance policies and procedures), performance of the applicable Funds and the Advisor’s recommendation to renew 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 |
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the performance history of each Fund over various time periods. In evaluating each Fund’s performance, the Trustees considered various measurements of performance, including absolute performance, the Fund’s return compared to the performance of other peer funds, and the Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark. More specifically, the Independent Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) comparing the respective Fund’s total return for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five-, and 10-year periods ended August 31, 2014 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing timeframe) compared to the performance of unaffiliated funds with similar investment objectives or classifications (a “Lipper Peer Universe”), to a more focused subset thereof, if any, (a “Lipper Peer Group”) and a benchmark assigned by Lipper (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, 2014 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist for part of the foregoing timeframe together with the average annual return since inception for Funds with the shorter duration) compared to additional benchmark(s) and unaffiliated funds in the Fund’s Morningstar investment category as well as considered the Morningstar ratings of the Funds. In addition, the
140

| ||
|
Independent Trustees received analyst reports provided by an unaffiliated party for the following Funds: Core Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, Long/Short Fund and Small Cap 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.
In evaluating the performance of a Fund, the Independent Trustees recognized several factors that may impact the evaluation of the performance data as well as the weight given to particular performance data, including the following:
Ÿ | The performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular period (in this case, the periods ended August 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014) and a different performance period could generate significantly different results; |
Ÿ | Long term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme has the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance; |
Ÿ | The investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable Fund, the class held (if multiple classes offered in a Fund) and the performance of the Fund (or respective class) during the shareholder’s investment period; |
Ÿ | Certain Funds offer multiple classes and the performance of the classes of a Fund should be substantially similar on a relative basis because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and any differences in performance between the classes could be principally attributed to the variation in the expenses of each class; and |
Ÿ | The Board evaluated Fund performance in light of the respective Fund’s investment objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and recognized that the objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and the level of risk taken to achieve performance of the peers and/or Benchmarks may differ from that of the Funds and therefore the performance results may also differ. Accordingly, the usefulness of comparative performance data as a frame of reference to measure a Fund’s performance may be limited because of such differences, including, in particular, the Lipper Peer Groups for the Micro Cap Fund and the Micro Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Micro Cap Funds”). As the Lipper Peer Group assigned to the Micro Cap Funds appeared 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 for the one-, three-, five- and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2014. |
Based on their review of performance, the Independent Trustees determined the following:
The Independent Trustees determined that the investment performance over time of the following Funds had been satisfactory. With respect to the Core Growth Fund, the performance of such Fund was generally comparable to the
performance of the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the one-, three-, four-, and five-year periods and outperformed or provided generally comparable performance to its Benchmark in the one-, three-, four-, and five-year periods.
With respect to the Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, although the Fund underperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the one- and two-year periods, the Fund matched or outperformed the performance of the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the three-, four- and five-year periods and outperformed or provided generally comparable performance to its Benchmark in the three-, four- and five-year periods.
With respect to the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, the Board recognized that the Fund was relatively new with a shorter performance history available. Nevertheless, the Board noted that although the Fund underperformed its Benchmark and its median for its Lipper Peer Group for the one-year period, the Fund outperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the two-year period.
With respect to the International Growth Fund, although the Fund underperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the one- and two-year periods, the Board noted such Fund outperformed or provided generally comparable performance to its Lipper Peer Group and Benchmark for the three-, four-, five- and 10-year periods.
Although the Income Fund underperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group over various periods, the Board considered the objectives of the Fund and the factors underlying performance and considered its performance satisfactory.
With respect to the Micro Cap Value Fund, the Board noted the Fund outperformed or provided generally comparable performance to its Benchmark in the two-, three-, five- and 10-year periods and notwithstanding certain issues with the Lipper Peer Group as noted above, outperformed the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the two-, three-, five- and 10-year periods.
With respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund, although such Fund underperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the shorter one-, two- and three-year periods, such Fund outperformed the performance of the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the 10-year period and outperformed or provided generally comparable performance to its Benchmark in the four-, five- and 10-year periods.
With respect to the World Innovators Fund, although such Fund underperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the one- and two-year periods, the Board noted that it outperformed the performance of its Benchmark and performance of the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the three-, four-, five- and 10-year periods.
The Independent Trustees noted that the following Funds demonstrated generally favorable performance over time. With respect to the Emerging India Fund, the Independent Trustees noted the strong absolute return for the one-year period ended August 31, 2014, and the Fund provided generally comparable performance to the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the one-year period and matched or outperformed the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the two- and three-year periods.

WASATCH FUNDS — Supplemental Information (continued) | ||

|
With respect to the Global Opportunities Fund, although such Fund underperformed its Benchmark in the one-year period and the median of its Lipper Peer Group in the one- and two-year periods, such Fund outperformed the median of its Lipper Peer Group and its Benchmark in the three-, four- and five-year periods.
With respect to the U.S. Treasury Fund, although such Fund underperformed its Benchmark in the two-year period, it outperformed its Benchmark in the one-, three-, four- and five-year periods and outperformed the performance of the median of its Lipper Peer Universe over the one-, three-, four-, five- and 10-year periods.
With respect to the International Opportunities Fund, the Board considered that such Fund outperformed, matched or provided generally comparable performance to that of its Benchmark and median of its Lipper Peer Group for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year periods.
With respect to the Long/Short Fund, the Board considered that such Fund outperformed the performance of the median of its Lipper Peer Group and Benchmark for all periods: the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and 10-year periods.
With respect to the Small Cap Value Fund, such Fund outperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year periods and provided generally comparable performance to its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the 10-year period.
With respect to the Strategic Income Fund, the Board recognized that the Fund outperformed its Benchmark and the median of its Lipper Peer Group for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year periods.
With respect to the Emerging Markets Select Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Select Fund was new with only a one-year performance history available thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful assessment of performance. Nevertheless, the Independent Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Select Fund outperformed the median of its Lipper Peer Group and Benchmark for the one-year period.
The Independent Trustees also noted that the following Funds have experienced periods of challenged performance, including the Large Cap Value Fund, the Ultra Growth Fund, the Micro Cap Fund and the Heritage Growth Fund.
With respect to the Large Cap Value Fund, the Board noted that except for the 10-year period, the Fund underperformed the median of its Lipper Peer Group and Benchmark for the shorter periods. The Board, however, recognized the steps taken by the Advisor to address performance issues, including the change in the portfolio manager of this Fund in 2013. With respect to the Ultra Growth Fund, the Board recognized that while the Fund has experienced periods of mixed results during its history, the Board recognized that the Fund outperformed its Benchmark and the median for its Lipper Peer Group in the recent one-year period. The Board further noted that the Fund’s portfolio management team also was recently adjusted in 2013 bringing the Fund under the management of a single portfolio manager. The Board recognized that the portfolio
managers of the Large Cap Value Fund and the Ultra Growth Fund would require time to manage their respective Fund before results from the foregoing changes would be fully reflected.
With respect to the Micro Cap Fund, the Board recognized that the Fund has underperformed its Benchmark and the Lipper Peer Group for the various periods ended August 31, 2014 but recognized, as noted above, that the Lipper Peer Group may not adequately reflect the investment strategies and investable universe of the Fund. The Board also noted that despite the comparative data, the Fund provided favorable absolute performance for the three-year period ended September 30, 2014 and was the top performing domestic growth fund at Wasatch during that period. Nevertheless, the Board continues to review with management the investment process and investment philosophy of the Fund.
With respect to the Heritage Growth Fund, although the underperformed its Benchmark over the various periods ended August 31, 2014, the Fund provided generally comparable performance to the median of its Lipper Peer Group over the one-, four- and five-year periods. The Board continues to monitor this Fund closely and discuss with the Advisor any steps that may be initiated if necessary to address performance issues. With respect to the Heritage Growth Fund and any Fund for which the Board has identified performance concerns, the Board monitors such Funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results, and considers any efforts proposed or implemented to improve performance.
C. | FEES, EXPENSESAND PROFITABILITY |
1. | Fees and Expenses |
The Independent Trustees considered the fees of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors and the rationale in setting the level of fees. 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 contractual and net 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 Lipper Peer Group, subject to the following. With respect to the Micro Cap Funds, the Independent Trustees recognized certain limitations with the Lipper Peer Group as described above and therefore also reviewed comparisons of each such 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 reviewed any expense limitation agreement with the Advisor on behalf of the respective Fund and the amounts the Advisor has reimbursed to the applicable Fund for the last three fiscal years (if any). The Independent Trustees also considered a Fund’s fees in light of the performance of the Fund.
142

MARCH 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED) | ||
| ||
|
In their evaluation of the fees, the Independent Trustees considered, among other things, the following:
The Independent Trustees recognized that the gross advisory fees and net expense ratios for the Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares (if any) of the Emerging India Fund, Emerging Markets Select Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Ultra Growth Fund and World Innovators Fund were above the median of their respective Lipper Peer Group. The Trustees further noted that for the Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares (if any) of the Core Growth Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund, such Funds had gross management fees higher or slightly higher (within 5 basis points) than the median of its respective Lipper Peer Group, but an expense ratio equal to or below the expense ratio of the median of its Lipper Peer Group. In reviewing fees, the Trustees recognized the experience and reputation of the Advisor in the small- and/or micro-cap security asset class in which the Funds may invest. The Trustees further acknowledged the research intensive approach the Advisor follows in evaluating companies and the related costs in applying this deep due diligence to the Funds investing in smaller companies. The Trustees also noted that capacity constraints are also an additional key consideration underlying the advisory fees. The Trustees appreciated that the Advisor actively closes Funds to new and/or existing investors from time to time in seeking to protect performance as it is generally more difficult to replicate the performance of certain Funds at higher asset levels. By reducing inflows of assets, however, the Board noted that the Advisor also limited its ability to earn fees on higher assets under management and may be subject to reduced fees from outflows that may not be replaced with new assets. The Trustees seek to encourage the practice of closing Funds as necessary or appropriate to protect or enhance performance for the benefit of shareholders. Further, with respect to the international Funds, the Board noted that the international aspect of such Funds adds an additional cost to the Advisor’s research-intensive investment program to cover an international landscape and to invest in these countries. The Board also recognized that over the past five years, the advisory fees on the Micro Cap Fund, Micro Cap Value Fund, Ultra Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, International Growth Fund and International Opportunities Fund were reduced. Given the foregoing factors, among others, the Independent Trustees determined the advisory fees for the foregoing Funds were acceptable.
With respect to the Investor Class shares and the Institutional Class shares of the Long Short Fund, the Trustees noted that such Fund had gross management fees equal to gross management fees of the median of its Lipper Peer Group and an expense ratio below the expense ratio of the median of its Lipper Peer Group. With respect to the Income Fund, the Independent Trustees recognized that the Fund had gross management fees above the management fees of the median of its Lipper Peer Group but an expense
ratio below the median of its Lipper Peer Group. Similarly, the Trustees considered that the U.S. Treasury Fund had a gross management fee higher than the management fee of the median of its Lipper Peer Group but a net expense ratio slightly higher (within 5 basis points) of the expense ratio of the median of its Lipper Peer Group. With respect to the Investor Class share and Institutional Class shares of the Large Cap Value Fund, such Fund had gross advisory fees and net expense ratios above the median of its Lipper Peer Group. With respect to the Investor Class shares of the Strategic Income Fund, such Fund had gross advisory fees below the median of its Lipper Peer Group, net advisory fees that matched the median, and a net expense ratio below the median of its Peer Group. With respect to the Heritage Growth Fund, such Fund had a gross advisory fee that was below the median of its Lipper Peer Group, a net advisory fee that matched the median and an expense ratio below the expense ratio of the median of its Lipper Peer Group. Given their investment strategies, the Independent Trustees recognized that these Funds generally should not be subject to capacity constraints limiting the assets size of the Funds upon which advisory fees are calculated as other Funds in the complex. Based on 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 reviewed information from the Advisor concerning the nature of services and fees provided to separate accounts with investment styles similar to certain Funds. The Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor manages separate account client assets in styles similar to those used for certain Funds, including the Core Growth Fund, Emerging Select Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Heritage Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Long/Short Fund, Micro Cap Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Ultra Growth Fund and World Innovators Fund. The Independent Trustees noted that generally the fee rates and/or weighted average fees for these accounts were lower than the fees for the comparable Fund (except in the case of the Heritage Growth Fund and Ultra Growth Fund). The Independent Trustees also considered information regarding the advisory arrangements of the Advisor with other types of clients, including wrap accounts, collective investment trusts and funds sponsored by other sponsors.
The Independent Trustees noted that the varying types of clients require different services and involve different regulatory risks than the management of the Funds. The Independent Trustees recognized 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 while the Advisor provides portfolio management services to the Funds and other clients, the services and the costs of providing such services may still differ depending on, among other things, the nature of the investments in which the Funds and other clients may invest, such as the ability to

|
invest foreign securities. In addition to the portfolio management services, the Board noted the extensive range of non-advisory services provided to the Funds including: administrative services, operational expertise (such as portfolio accounting, pricing, foreign registrations, and foreign filings), shareholder communications (such as prospectuses, shareholder reports and other periodic reports), oversight of third party service providers (including sub-advisors), Board support, monitoring daily purchases and redemptions, shareholder services, tax administration, marketing and other services required to operate a Fund. Further, the Independent Trustees recognized the compliance services necessary for the Funds as they operate in a highly regulated industry. Such responsibilities generally are not required to the same extent for separate accounts. In light of the foregoing, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fees charged in light of the services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.
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. 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 the profitability of the Advisor both on an absolute basis and in comparison to other investment advisors. The Independent Trustees reviewed profitability information for the Advisor derived from its relationship with each Fund for the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 and pro forma profitability for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014. The profitability information helps the Board evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, the Advisor’s ability to continue to provide services and the reasonableness of the management fee. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Trustees reviewed the methodology utilized to allocate revenue and expenses of the Advisor among the Funds. The Independent Trustees, however, recognized the subjective nature of 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 among the Funds and other products 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 the foregoing, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s revenues and margins compared to publicly available information concerning unaffiliated publicly traded investment managers. However, the Independent Trustees recognized the limitations in the comparative data given that, among other things, many of these managers are much larger than the Advisor, have different lines of business, provide different services, may employ different expense
allocations and charges, may not be representative of the industry and may not disclose profitability information per fund or product line. 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. The Trustees reviewed HIMCO’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and 1st Source’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 and income statement for the month ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. Considering the Sub-Advisors’ fee schedules and the fact that the sub-advisory fees are established through arm’s length negotiations, the Independent Trustees concluded that HIMCO’s and 1st Source’s profitability from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the U.S. Treasury Fund and Income Fund, respectively, 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 LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIESOF SCALE |
The Independent Trustees considered the extent of any economies of scale as the Funds grow and whether Fund investors benefit from any economies of scale. In their review, the Independent Trustees acknowledged that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision. The Independent Trustees further recognized that the capacity constraints on the Funds investing in small and micro-cap companies limit the ability for the Funds to grow to achieve economies of scale as such Funds may be closed at smaller asset levels to help protect or enhance performance for the benefit of shareholders. The Independent Trustees further acknowledged the limited profit potential for the Advisor by closing Funds to new and/or existing shareholders and the costs of the Advisor’s research intensive process also inhibit economies of scale. With respect to the Funds without such capacity constraints, the Independent Trustees also reviewed the factors the Advisor considered in proposing a fee level and recognized the Advisor’s position that to the extent economies of scale exist, the current level of advisory fee reflects such economies of scale. Considering the factors above, the Independent Trustees concluded the absence of breakpoints in the management fee 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
144

|
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 that may be useful in managing the assets of the Funds or other clients. 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. The Independent Trustees recognized that soft dollar arrangements provide benefits to the Advisor derived from a Fund’s brokerage 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 Independent Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the HIMCO Sub-Advisory Agreement for the U.S. Treasury Fund, and the 1st Source Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Income 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 U.S. Treasury Fund and the Income Fund, respectively.
