Letter to Shareholders — Our Take on China and India |
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Head of Emerging Markets Investing and Portfolio Manager |
Dan Chace, CFA Portfolio Manager | DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
Recent clampdowns by Chinese regulators in areas such as technology and private education have caused some investors to rethink their China allocations. Investors began to ponder the implications in November 2020 when regulators suspended the initial public offering (IPO) of Ant Group, a financial-technology (fintech) firm whose chairman and majority shareholder is renowned tech titan Jack Ma. This year, restrictions announced during the summer rattled financial markets. Pundits have even begun to question the Chinese government’s commitment to capitalism.
CHINESE CAPITALISM VERSUS WESTERN CAPITALISM
Chinese capitalism isn’t the same as Western capitalism. In its modern form, |
Western capitalism rests largely on the free-market principles laid out by eighteenth-century philosopher and economist Adam Smith. In The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith introduced the concept of the “Invisible Hand” to describe the unintended social good brought about by individuals acting in their own self-interest.
In contrast, the Chinese believe capital allocation driven by self-interest and greed inevitably leads to inequality, exploitation and the dangerous accumulation of power by large corporations. Because these things undermine the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) objectives of common prosperity and social cohesion, capitalism must be kept on a tight leash. Therefore, Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand is replaced by the not-so-invisible and sometimes-heavy hand of the Chinese government.
IMPLICATIONS FOR RETURNS ON CAPITAL: A COMPARISON TO INDIA
Primarily due to heightened competition, returns on capital have generally been less sustainable in China than in some Western-style economies. In India, for example, competitive advantages such as proprietary technologies, barriers to entry and economies of scale have tended to be more enduring. Additionally, business-friendly reforms enacted by a coalition led by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi have allowed long-running investment themes to play out more fully and with less regulatory interference than might otherwise have been the case. For these reasons, Wasatch’s emerging markets funds have typically been structurally overweight in India and underweight in China compared to their respective benchmarks.
To the extent recent events in China foreshadow a more activist role for the government in determining how businesses are run, returns on capital may become compressed somewhat further. However, we believe companies will still be permitted reasonable levels of profitability. Capitalism has enabled China to bring hundreds of millions of its citizens out of abject poverty. So the government clearly understands the profit motive’s essential role in spurring the innovation necessary for China’s continued growth and development.
THE NEED FOR A COMMON-SENSE APPROACH TO INVESTING IN CHINA
We think the government’s willingness to flex its regulatory muscle in pursuit of its policy goals makes it more important than ever to take a pragmatic approach to investing in China. Certain consumer-facing businesses may be especially at risk of finding themselves at odds with the government. Among these are companies such as payment and social-media platforms that collect large amounts of proprietary data on Chinese citizens and companies that may be perceived as failing to promote socially responsible behavior. Also at risk are firms the government deems important to China’s competitiveness and may therefore be less able to operate freely.
Because China’s economy has matured to the point of becoming self-sustaining, exports and capital from overseas are no longer vital to its survival. As a result, companies are encouraged to emulate the CCP’s vision of what their business models should look like. Today, the government has additional scope to regulate industries without fear of alienating international investors.
CHINESE VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (VIEs)
VIEs are companies controlled through contracts designed to mimic the rights and economic interests of direct ownership. Because VIEs are used to circumvent restrictions on foreign investment in China, we think VIEs that are traded in the form of depositary receipts are the most likely to draw the ire of Chinese regulators. Rather than providing clear commentary on the legality of the VIE structure, recent legislation simply doesn’t mention VIEs. In view of what appears to be a deliberately gray area of Chinese law, no Wasatch fund has more than a modest exposure to VIEs — and we don’t own VIEs listed on stock exchanges outside Hong Kong and mainland China.
LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA REMAIN INTACT
Despite sensationalistic headlines declaring that China has abandoned capitalism, we believe the long-term opportunities there remain intact. China’s self-sustaining economy and relatively stable currency provide advantages found in few other emerging markets. Measured in terms of the number of IPOs, the rate of capital formation in Greater China (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) is the highest in the world.
That said, investing in China has become more complex. Besides evaluating a company’s underlying fundamentals, investors must now weigh the extent to which business practices align with the Chinese government’s policy objectives. We think this
2
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
creates opportunities for actively managed funds to outperform. We also believe our legacy in small-cap investing provides Wasatch with an additional advantage, as smaller companies may be better-positioned to grow for longer periods without attracting unwanted attention from the government.
Once the regulatory dust has settled, we believe China’s health-care sector will present additional investment opportunities. We’re much less optimistic about Chinese financial companies. In addition to being subject to government control, Chinese financials lack transparency and tend to be highly leveraged. Because this combination of traits makes risks difficult to assess, we expect our exposure to Chinese financial stocks to remain somewhat limited. For more about our views on China, please see the Greater China Fund management discussion on page 20.
TIME AND AGAIN, INDIA FINDS WAYS TO IMPRESS US
Our unenthusiastic position toward Chinese financials stands in stark contrast to our optimism about financial firms in India. In our view, Indian financials offer more attractive long-term growth prospects with significantly less uncertainty than their Chinese counterparts. The financialization of India has been one of our long-running investment themes.
During the fiscal year, investors — encouraged by record-low interest rates, hopes for a pickup in consumer demand and an improved outlook for manufacturing — drove India’s major stock averages to new all-time highs. Inflationary pressures from food and housing have eased in recent months, providing India’s central bankers with additional scope to keep interest rates low in support of economic growth.
INDIAN IPOs SIGNAL A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
Robust demand from retail, institutional and foreign investors is encouraging Indian firms to go public at a record pace, with new listings expected to add about $400 billion of capital to India’s equity market over the next several years. Besides the large number and size of India’s recent IPOs, their nature is also quite remarkable. Compared to the past when IPOs consisted almost exclusively of traditional businesses, recent IPOs show better representation of new-economy industries such as e-commerce, software and fintech.
Although IPO participation isn’t a major part of our investment process, we believe our fundamental approach naturally lends itself to the analysis of companies seeking to go public. For more about our views on India, please see the Emerging India Fund management discussion on page 6.
With sincere thanks for your continuing investment and for your trust,
Ajay Krishnan and Dan Chace

Wasatch Core Growth Fund (WGROX / WIGRX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Core Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor, Paul Lambert and Mike Valentine.
JB Taylor Lead Portfolio Manager |
Paul Lambert Portfolio Manager |
Mike Valentine Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, stocks rose amid optimism that the economy is on track to recover from the pandemic. For the full period, the Wasatch Core Growth Fund — Investor Class gained 44.83% while the benchmark Russell 2000 Index increased 47.68% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose 33.27%.
We think the best way to summarize events of the period is that we stuck to our knitting and the Fund performed exactly as we would have expected. While we were certainly aware of macro events, they didn’t drive our investment decisions because we don’t believe they change the long-term prospects for our companies. Instead, we focused on staying diversified across many high-quality businesses with significant returns on capital, low debt, great management teams, and innovative products and services in expanding markets.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
From a sector perspective relative to the benchmark, the Fund’s stock selections were favorable in health care, consumer staples, communication services, real estate, financials, industrials and information technology. Stock selections in consumer discretionary and materials, and lack of exposure to energy were drags on relative performance.
The Fund’s top contributor was Medpace Holdings, Inc. — which provides services to life-sciences companies and organizations. Services include management and monitoring of clinical trials, regulatory submissions, quality assurance and other services designed to increase the efficiency of organizations’ research processes. The company reported significant year-on-year increases in revenues on the back of outstanding net new business wins. We believe Medpace is well-positioned to continue its dynamic growth.
Another significant contributor was Bank OZK — a full-service bank offering financial services such as savings accounts, personal and business loans, debit and credit cards, letters of credit, certificates of deposit, mortgages, equipment financing, cash management and online banking. Bank OZK specializes in commercial real estate. While loan growth hasn’t accelerated yet, loss provisions should decline and credit conditions should get stronger as the
economy continues to reopen. The stock bounced higher in anticipation of these improvements.
The largest detractor from Fund performance was Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. The company’s retail stores offer a continually changing selection of close-out items and brand-name merchandise at deeply discounted prices. Over the next few quarters, Ollie’s faces difficult comparisons to 2020 — when stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment benefits boosted the disposable income of consumers. Longer term, we think the company’s unique treasure-hunt shopping experience and still-limited national footprint offer attractive prospects for expansion. We added to the Fund’s holdings of Ollie’s in the belief the stock price already reflects future negative developments that may occur.
Another significant detractor was Grand Canyon Education, Inc. — which offers graduate and undergraduate degree programs and certifications in fields related to teaching, business and health care. Grand Canyon provides instruction via online classes, and it operates a full-service campus in Arizona complete with dormitories and Division I sports. While the use of online education was especially strong during the height of the pandemic, recent on-campus enrollments have been somewhat weaker partially because admissions counselors were unable to visit many high schools due to the pandemic. As a result, the stock was down during the period. But we believe the issue is transitory and Grand Canyon’s growth trajectory will resume in 2022.
OUTLOOK
Late in the 12-month period, concerns arose regarding higher interest rates, inflation, political stalemates, Fed policies, ongoing supply-chain disruptions, the Delta variant of Covid-19 and problems in the Chinese property market. While these concerns clearly affected the performance of stocks in the final three months of the period, we don’t have much to say about them going forward because macro forecasting isn’t one of our strengths.
What we can say, however, is we haven’t detected any significant trends that we believe warrant major changes to our holdings. For instance, consider the possibility of continually rising interest rates and inflation. If that happens, it will likely mean the economy is growing reasonably well. In such an environment, we’ll be comfortable owning our industry-leading companies that have pricing power and the ability to deal effectively with supply-chain challenges. On the other hand, if economic growth falters, we’ll be pleased to have the diversification of our less economically sensitive information-technology and health-care names.
In closing, we’re pleased to report that we’ve already begun to resume our face-to-face research meetings with company management teams.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Wasatch Emerging India Fund (WAINX / WIINX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Emerging India Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan and Matthew Dreith.
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Matthew Dreith, CFA Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
Despite India’s battle with a larger, more deadly second wave of Covid-19, Indian stocks finished with outsized gains for the 12 months ended |
September 30, 2021. The benchmark MSCI India Investable Market Index (IMI) rose 57.32% during the period. Outperforming its benchmark, the Wasatch Emerging India Fund — Investor Class generated a total return of 64.69%.
Fallout from India’s second outbreak of the coronavirus was less significant than had been feared. By early May, signs that fresh lockdown measures in the country’s hardest-hit regions were gaining traction touched off a powerful rally in Indian stocks. As the number of daily new cases receded, India’s major equity averages soared to record levels. High-frequency indicators of business and consumer activity recovery of lost ground more rapidly than they did during the first wave of the virus. Gross domestic product rose 20.1% in the three months to June 30 versus the year-ago period — boosted by rising factory orders, robust demand from overseas and a rebound in the services sector.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
Improving business conditions and solid company fundamentals helped the Fund surpass its benchmark, with the information-technology (IT) sector providing the largest source of relative outperformance. The IT stocks owned in the Fund logged gains well ahead of the IT stocks in the Index, significantly enhancing the Fund’s return. Other areas in which the Fund outperformed included health care, consumer staples, industrials and communication services. The Fund also benefited from its lack of investments in energy, which allowed it to sidestep the lowest-returning sector of the Index during the period.
The materials sector was the largest source of weakness against the benchmark. Our materials stocks rose less than those in the Index, and the Fund’s underweight position in this high-flying sector was a headwind to performance. Our financials also lagged the lofty returns posted by the financials in the Index, but the Fund’s structural overexposure to financial firms more than offset the negative impact on relative performance.
Bajaj Finance Ltd. and Mindtree Ltd. were the Fund’s strongest contributors during the period. A non-bank financial company offering a broad spectrum of lending services, Bajaj saw its stock price move higher amid an explosion of
interest in digital banking and financial technology (fintech). The company is increasingly viewed as a disruptor in the Indian financial space, and its expanding digital presence has encouraged investors. Mindtree is an IT-services firm that has benefited as the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated large-scale migration of corporate clients to digital platforms and the cloud. We believe the IT-services industry may be undergoing structural gains in profitability as the shift to working from home allows more offshoring of business to India.
The greatest detractor from performance was Britannia Industries Ltd. A producer of fast-moving consumer goods, Britannia experienced exceptionally strong demand early in the coronavirus pandemic as citizens under lockdown stocked their pantries and ate more of the company’s products. As panic buying of food staples eased and sales growth slowed, however, we sold the stock to seek better opportunities elsewhere. Coforge Ltd. was the only other detractor in what was an exceptionally strong period for Indian equities. The Fund owned this provider of IT consulting and software services only briefly and exited the position at a small loss.
OUTLOOK
Robust demand from retail, institutional and foreign investors is encouraging Indian firms to go public at a record pace in what’s shaping up to be the best year ever for local initial public offerings (IPOs). The surge of new listings is expected to add about $400 billion of new capital to India’s equity market over the coming two to three years. And based on recent announcements, the IPO pipeline is likely to remain strong for at least the next year or so.
Compared to past periods when the IPO calendar consisted almost exclusively of traditional businesses, this time around there’s better representation from new-economy industries such as e-commerce, software and fintech. Examples include Zomato Ltd., an online restaurant guide and food-delivery company that went public in July, and digital-payments startup Paytm, which has filed to raise as much as $2.2 billion.
Although IPO participation isn’t a major part of our investment process, we believe our fundamental approach naturally lends itself to the analysis of companies seeking to go public. Moreover, we believe a healthy IPO calendar filled with new-economy businesses helps to sustain investor enthusiasm and increase the flow of international capital into India’s financial markets.

Wasatch Emerging Markets Select Fund (WAESX / WIESX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Emerging Markets Select Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan, Scott Thomas and Matthew Dreith.
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Scott Thomas, CFA Associate Portfolio |
Matthew Dreith, CFA Associate Portfolio |
OVERVIEW
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Emerging Markets Select Fund — Investor Class gained 56.43%. The Fund significantly outperformed the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which rose 18.20%.
Despite strong overall performance for emerging markets during the period, the Delta variant of Covid-19 has raised doubts about whether China’s attempts to tightly contain the virus can be sustained. Sudden lockdowns of entire cities and the mass testing of millions of people in response to a few dozen cases have imposed enormous economic and quality-of-life costs.
Even so, it seems unlikely that the government will abandon its zero-Covid approach until after the Winter Olympics in Beijing — and perhaps not until the National Party Congress meets in October of next year. In the meantime, virus containment and regulatory crackdowns will continue to pose short-term headwinds for China.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
India, the Fund’s most heavily weighted country, was the largest source of outperformance relative to the benchmark. Our Indian holdings outgained the Indian stocks in the Index, and our overweight position in India was a tailwind for the Fund. Encouraged by record-low interest rates, hopes for a pickup in consumer demand and an improved outlook for the manufacturing sector, investors pushed India’s major stock averages to new all-time highs.
Chinese stocks produced uninspiring returns amid ongoing concerns about earnings, valuations, stimulus withdrawal and a government crackdown on the country’s tech giants. Our Chinese stocks substantially outgained the China component of the Index, boosting the Fund’s relative performance. Manufacturing activity in China has grown at a slower pace in recent months as supply bottlenecks and higher input costs crimped output.
Taiwan was another source of Fund outperformance relative to the benchmark. Surging overseas demand for computer chips and other electronic goods are helping the island’s economy. According to a government report released in June, gross domestic product expanded at the fastest pace in over 10 years.
On the negative side of the ledger, the Fund’s Korean and Brazilian stocks lagged their counterparts in the Index.
Bajaj Finance Ltd. was the Fund’s top contributor for the period. An Indian non-bank financial company, Bajaj offers a broad spectrum of lending services. The company’s stock price moved higher amid an explosion of interest in digital banking and financial technology (fintech). Bajaj is increasingly viewed as a disruptor in the Indian financial space, and the company’s expanding digital presence has encouraged investors.
Another strong contributor was Taiwan-listed Silergy Corp. Silergy manufactures high-performance mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits used in a wide array of electronic devices. Because Silergy’s business model — which is based on analog design engineering — is difficult to replicate, we believe the company has ample headroom for future growth.
The largest detractor from Fund performance for the period was Magazine Luiza SA — which operates a multi-channel retail platform of mobile, website and physical stores in Brazil. Investor enthusiasm for the company appeared to wane amid difficult year-over-year comparisons to 2020, when homebound shoppers flocking to the internet drove strong growth in the company’s e-commerce business.
One of the highest profile examples of volatility induced by regulatory developments in China was Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which also detracted from Fund performance. In December 2020, one month after the suspension of the initial public offering of Ant Group (also owned by Alibaba founder Jack Ma), Alibaba saw its recent stock gains largely wiped away following the announcement by Chinese regulators of an antitrust investigation into alleged monopolistic business practices. The matter appears to have been resolved by payment of a $2.8 billion fine in April.
OUTLOOK
Once the regulatory dust has settled, we believe China’s health-care sector will present additional investment opportunities that are potentially attractive for the Fund. We’re much less optimistic about Chinese financial companies, however. In addition to being subject to government control, Chinese financials lack transparency and tend to be highly leveraged. Because this combination of traits makes risks difficult to assess, we expect the Fund’s exposure to Chinese financial stocks to remain somewhat limited.
Our unenthusiastic position toward Chinese financials stands in stark contrast to our optimism about financial firms in India. In our view, Indian financials offer more attractive long-term growth prospects with significantly less uncertainty than their Chinese counterparts. The financialization of India has been one of the Fund’s long-running investment themes, which we expect will continue as an upswell of initial public offerings boosts awareness and adds new names to the space.

Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund (WAEMX / WIEMX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ajay Krishnan, Dan Chace, Scott Thomas and Kevin Unger.
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager
Scott Thomas, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager |
Dan Chace, CFA Portfolio Manager
Kevin Unger, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund — Investor Class gained 50.23%. The Fund meaningfully outperformed the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index, which rose 43.24%. Despite the extraordinary performance during the period, concerns have grown that an | ||
end to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s extremely accommodative monetary policy might trigger an exodus of foreign capital from certain emerging markets, driving their currencies lower. Inflationary pressures already building in these countries might then be exacerbated as imports become more expensive. One of the ways we address such a scenario is to apply a higher hurdle rate to investments in countries where the structural backdrop is weaker. Our goal in these situations is to find businesses that we believe will generate earnings growth sufficient to offset potential declines in the currency, while still providing attractive rates of return.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
Taiwan was the Fund’s largest source of outperformance relative to the benchmark. Surging overseas demand for computer chips and other electronic goods are helping the island’s economy. According to a government report released in June, gross domestic product expanded at the fastest pace in over 10 years.
India, the Fund’s most heavily weighted country, was also a large source of outperformance relative to the benchmark. Our Indian holdings outgained the Indian stocks in the Index, and our overweight position in India was a strong tailwind for the Fund. Encouraged by record-low interest rates, hopes for a pickup in consumer demand and an improved outlook for the manufacturing sector, investors pushed India’s major stock averages to new all-time highs.
China was a significant source of weakness against the benchmark. Although our group of Chinese holdings underperformed the Chinese component of the Index, the Fund’s below-benchmark weighting in China mitigated part of the effect on performance. Our Korean and Brazilian stocks also lagged their counterparts in the Index.
The top contributor to Fund performance for the period was Taiwan-listed Silergy Corp. Silergy manufactures high-performance mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits used in a wide array of electronic devices. Because Silergy’s business model — which is based on analog-design engineering — is difficult to replicate, we believe the company has ample headroom for future growth.
Mindtree Ltd., an Indian IT-services firm, was also a strong contributor. The company focuses mainly on the hospitality and retail industries. We believe the IT-services industry may be undergoing structural improvements in profitability as the shift to working from home allows more offshoring of business to India.
AK Medical Holdings Ltd. was the largest detractor from Fund performance for the period. The company sells orthopedic implants, spinal interbody cages and artificial vertebral bodies in China. The stock price fell in July after the company issued a profit warning disclosing that customers had temporarily reduced their purchases in anticipation of potentially lower prices arising from China’s national volume-based procurement policy for joint implants. We sold our position in AK Medical to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
Tokai Carbon Korea Co. Ltd. was also a significant detractor. The company produces silicon wafers and semiconductor materials for industrial applications. Unfavorable court decisions in patent litigation initiated by Tokai against competitors have resulted in the loss of some of the company’s intellectual property. Even so, key patents and trade secrets surrounding the manufacturing processes remain in place. We added to the Fund’s position in the belief that the loss of intellectual property won’t significantly increase competition for Tokai in the markets it serves.
OUTLOOK
We believe our focus on high-quality companies tends to be helpful in inflationary environments. We think talented, innovative management teams are more likely to find ways to adapt to rising costs for materials and shortages of labor. In addition, our companies typically have strong market positions that afford them a certain degree of pricing power — which allows them to pass on higher costs to their customers.
During past periods of inflation, we saw high-quality companies gain market share and widen their competitive advantages compared to lower-quality companies that were less able to cope with inflationary challenges. To the extent that a well-managed company can weather bouts of inflation better than its competitors, we think such periods offer the potential to enhance the long-term growth trajectory of the business.

Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund (WAFMX / WIFMX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Scott Thomas.
Scott Thomas, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund — Investor Class finished the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021 with a gain of 46.18%, significantly outperforming its primary benchmark, the MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Index, which gained 20.13% over the same period. |
Stock selection in countries and sectors overwhelmingly accounted for the Fund’s outperformance of its benchmark during the period. On a country basis, Russia, India and Singapore contributed the most to Fund performance. On a sector basis, stock selection was particularly impactful in financials, communication services, industrials and information-technology (IT). The Fund significantly outperformed the benchmark in each of these sectors. Health care was the only sector of the Fund that meaningfully lagged its benchmark counterpart.
The Fund is overweight versus the benchmark in financials, which is our most heavily weighted sector. Fintech companies — businesses operating at the crossroads of financials and information technology — such as those enabling digital banking, payments and shopping have seen demand spike during the pandemic and their stocks generally performed well during the 12-month period.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
Three companies that operate in the fintech space — TCS Group Holding PLC, Sea Ltd. and MercadoLibre, Inc — finished among the Fund’s top contributors for the period. In our view, all three companies are well-positioned to facilitate and benefit from trends in digital finance.
The largest contributor to Fund performance was TCS, the holding company for Tinkoff Bank, Russia’s largest digital bank. Serving over 13 million customers with its branchless business model, the bank has thrived during the pandemic. Also helping shares of TCS has been growing optimism about the company’s investment-brokerage business.
We added Singapore-based Sea Ltd. in the second calendar quarter of 2020, and it has been one of the best contributors to Fund performance since then. Beyond its digital-payments platform, SeaMoney, the company’s other business segments include mobile-game developer Garena and online-shopping platform Shopee. We believe Sea has an opportunity to become a dominant force, if not the dominant force, in Southeast Asia in each of the spaces in which it operates. The company’s prospects for long-term growth are also supported by its expansion into Latin America.
E-commerce powerhouse MercadoLibre operates the largest digital payments system across 18 countries in Latin
America. Although the company is already a market leader, we believe it has headroom for years of growth as the region boasts a population of approximately 635 million people that are increasingly embracing the internet for everything from banking to operating online businesses and shopping.
One of the Fund’s largest detractors during the period was Thailand-based TQM Corp. Public Co. Ltd. An insurance provider, TQM has faced challenges stemming from the pandemic, including impacts on the company’s own staff and on its revenue. We maintained the position as we believe the company is well-run and we like its strong balance sheet.
Another significant detractor was Magazine Luiza SA. The company operates a multi-channel retail platform of mobile, online and physical stores in Brazil. Investor enthusiasm waned as Magazine Luiza has faced difficult year-over-year comparisons to 2020 — when homebound shoppers flocking to the internet drove strong growth in the company’s e-commerce business. Recent economic conditions have weighed on Brazilian stocks in general.
Cleopatra Hospital Co. was also a detractor. The company operates Egypt’s largest private hospital network by number of hospital beds and number of operating hospitals. Although the company has faced challenges during the year, including an acquisition deal that fell through, we believe Cleopatra’s fundamentals remain strong. We expect growth to continue and be supported by its acquisitions pipeline.
OUTLOOK
We are pleased with the Fund’s strong performance during the 12-month period. From an investing standpoint, the pandemic appears to have accelerated multiple secular trends. In addition to highlighting the need for many businesses to modernize their operations, which has led to a massive shift toward cloud-based platforms, the pandemic also appears to have dramatically increased consumers’ appetites for all manner of goods and services. In many instances, we believe these trends may help drive companies’ growth for years to come.
While the pandemic and ongoing efforts to vaccinate the global population, along with macro concerns including inflation, interest rates and the eventual withdrawal of economic stimulus measures, are certain to influence investor sentiment in the months ahead, we believe that earnings growth is ultimately the primary factor that drives stock prices over the long-term. So rather than worry about macro events over which we have no control, we think it’s more productive to use our bottom-up research process to find exciting companies in frontier and emerging small countries that we believe are well-positioned to grow over coming years. One reason for our optimism regarding these countries is their young populations compared to more highly developed nations.

Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund (WAGOX / WIGOX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor, Ajay Krishnan, Ken Applegate and Paul Lambert.
JB Taylor Lead Portfolio Manager
Ken Applegate, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Ajay Krishnan, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager
Paul Lambert Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund — Investor Class finished the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021 with a gain of 51.70% and significantly outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC (All Country) World Small Cap Index, which gained 40.61%. Over the past 12 months, the Fund’s performance gained | ||
a substantial benefit from our holdings in emerging markets. Led by India and Taiwan, our emerging-market investments outperformed the benchmark’s emerging-market position by a wide margin. Approximately one-quarter of the Fund’s net assets are invested in emerging markets, and we are overweight compared to the benchmark. Our holdings in developed markets added the most to the Fund’s return and outperformed their benchmark counterparts. Japan was our top-contributing developed market, followed by Israel.
Despite a short-lived shift to value-oriented names that began late in 2020 amid widespread optimism for a post-Covid economic rebound, over the entire 12-month period, investors generally preferred high-quality growth companies such as those in which the Fund seeks to invest. The Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark was helped to a large extent by our holdings in the information-technology and industrials sectors. These two sectors are often where we find companies that meet our strict criteria for quality and that have strong long-term growth potential.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
For a second-consecutive annual period, Taiwan-listed semiconductor manufacturer Silergy Corp. was the Fund’s top contributor. In addition to benefiting from the global semiconductor shortage, we think Silergy’s business model — which is based on analog design engineering — is difficult to replicate and is likely to provide the company with significant headroom for growth over the coming decade.
India contributed the most to the Fund’s outperformance of the benchmark for the 12-month period led by Mindtree Ltd. A global software-development firm, Mindtree offers business software solutions and product-development services, focusing mainly on the hospitality and retail industries. The company also designs reusable “building blocks” that can
be easily deployed by other high-tech firms. Mindtree has benefited as the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the large-scale migration of corporate clients to digital platforms and the cloud.
Our top developed-market contributor was Israel-based Kornit Digital Ltd. The company makes machines that enable on-demand printing of designs and images on clothing and fabrics. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the advantages of Kornit’s on-demand technology, which greatly reduces the need for inventory on hand and in supply chains. Kornit’s equipment is also environmentally friendly. It uses no water — whereas traditional printing methods consume vast amounts of water — and the inks it uses are biodegradable. The stock also benefited from growing optimism about the KornitX operating system.
While the U.S. added the most to the Fund’s return, our U.S. holdings underperformed their benchmark counterparts. The largest detractor for the 12-month period was Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc., a discount retailer that offers a continually changing selection of close-out items and brand-name merchandise at deeply discounted prices. Over the next few quarters, Ollie’s faces difficult comparisons to 2020 — when stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment benefits boosted the disposable income of consumers. Longer term, we think the company’s unique treasure-hunt shopping experience and still-limited national footprint offer attractive prospects for expansion.
Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd., a position we ultimately exited, was also a significant detractor. The company is headquartered in Hong Kong and produces numerous food and beverage items. On the heels of rapid growth, a combination of competitive and regulatory pressures caused us to believe our original investment thesis might be impaired.
OUTLOOK
Some small-company growth stocks remain richly priced by historical standards. In addition to currently high valuations, inflation and higher interest rates rank among possible challenges the Fund may encounter in the quarters ahead. Beyond these risks, the Covid-19 pandemic and continuing efforts to vaccinate the global population are certain to influence investor sentiment.
While we attempt to mitigate the potential impacts of these risks, we make no forecasts as to when or if they might come into play. Instead, our core focus remains on finding new companies that fit our model for long-term investments and on conducting thorough and ongoing due diligence for the companies we already hold. We feel confident in the makeup of the Fund and believe its outperformance of the benchmark during a volatile year provides some vindication of our long-term, quality-oriented investment approach.

produced a double-digit gain and added the most to the Fund’s return for the 12-month period, they underperformed the benchmark’s developed-market holdings. On the other hand, the Fund’s investments in emerging markets gained substantially more than the benchmark’s emerging-markets position. India was the top-contributing emerging market. Among developed markets, Japan contributed the most to performance relative to the Index.
Despite a short-lived shift to value-oriented names that began late in 2020 amid widespread optimism for a post-Covid economic rebound, over the entire 12-month period, investors generally preferred high-quality growth companies such as those in which the Fund seeks to invest. The Fund’s performance was aided significantly by our holdings in the information-technology (IT) and industrials sectors. These two sectors are often where we find companies that meet our strict criteria for quality and that have strong long-term growth potential.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The Fund’s strong showing in India was overwhelmingly driven by the stock-price gain of Bajaj Finance Ltd., the top contributor for the 12-month period. A non-bank financial company, Bajaj offers a broad spectrum of lending services. The company’s stock price moved higher amid an explosion of interest in digital banking and financial technology (fintech). Bajaj is increasingly viewed as a disruptor in the Indian financial space, and the company’s expanding digital presence has encouraged investors.
Outperformance in Japan was led by the Fund’s position in BayCurrent Consulting, Inc. BayCurrent operates in the digital transformation space, offering comprehensive consulting services including a specialization in IT consulting
and integration. We believe Japan is a particularly attractive market for the company’s offerings thanks to a large pool of cash-rich corporations that lag their peers in other markets in terms of digital modernization. We also believe BayCurrent may continue to benefit from an “early mover” advantage.
Our U.S. investments added the most to the Fund’s return but underperformed the benchmark’s U.S. position. The Fund’s top U.S. contributor was Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc., a trucking company that transports goods across the U.S. A long-time Wasatch holding, we believe the company has been firing on all cylinders.
Recent economic conditions have weighed on Brazilian stocks in general, as currency weakness and surging inflation force the country’s central bank to extend the world’s most aggressive series of interest-rate hikes this year. Unsurprisingly, Brazil subtracted the most from the Fund’s return. The largest detractor was Magazine Luiza SA, which operates a multi-channel retail platform of mobile, web-based and physical stores in Brazil. Investor enthusiasm waned as Magazine Luiza faced difficult year-over-year comparisons to 2020 — when homebound shoppers flocking to the internet drove strong growth in the company’s e-commerce business.
Another significant detractor was Chr. Hansen Holding AS, a Denmark-based bioscience company that makes specialized medical components. We sold the stock in favor of new opportunities we believe are more promising.
Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd., another position we ultimately exited, also detracted. The company is headquartered in Hong Kong and produces numerous food and beverage items. On the heels of rapid growth, a combination of competitive and regulatory pressures caused us to believe our original investment thesis might be impaired.
OUTLOOK
Various macro themes, including the ongoing pandemic and efforts to vaccinate the global population, inflation, higher interest rates and the eventual withdrawal of monetary stimulus by central banks around the world, will continue to play out and will likely produce short-term waves of volatility in global equity markets. We believe we’ve assembled a portfolio of strong companies that are well-positioned to weather uncertain environments and grow over the long term, in part thanks to the strong underlying balance sheets we look for as a fundamental feature of any investment.
We remain focused on finding new companies that meet our strict criteria for quality and have outstanding potential for long-term growth. We also continue to conduct thorough due diligence on the companies we already hold.

Wasatch Global Value Fund (FMIEX / WILCX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Global Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by David Powers.
David Powers, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Global Value Fund — Investor Class increased 44.74% and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC (All Country) World Value Index, which rose 31.27%. Global equities gained meaningfully |
from January through June 2021 despite concerns about a resurgence of Covid-19 cases in Europe and South America. Market sentiment was bolstered by the rollout of multiple vaccines and massive stimulus from governments and central banks around the world.
During the July through September quarter, however, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank took a more hawkish tone and investors began to rotate out of more economically sensitive companies. Risk appetites were particularly weak in September as markets confronted stubbornly high inflation, ongoing supply-chain bottlenecks and concerns that a crisis in China’s debt-fueled property market could destabilize the global financial system.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The Fund’s outperformance of its benchmark for the 12-month period was driven by our U.S. positions, which surpassed their benchmark counterparts. Energy was the Index’s strongest-performing sector, and our overweight position in the sector benefited the Fund’s relative return. That said, stock selection was by far the main driver of the Fund’s outperformance — with holdings in all but two sectors faring better than the benchmark’s positions.
Financials took the top two spots among the Fund’s performance contributors during the period. One of these was ING Groep NV. Sentiment regarding this Dutch multinational benefited from an improved macroeconomic outlook for lenders. ING also announced it would pay the dividends that it missed in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic emerged and the European Central Bank restricted banks from paying dividends.
General Motors Co. was another top contributor, showing strength early in the period when the company reported earnings and free cash flows that were well above expectations. Sales were especially robust in both the U.S. and China. These positive factors early in the period outweighed challenges later, when GM’s share price was negatively impacted by a battery-module recall on the Chevrolet Bolt and the shuttering of GM’s Malaysia plants due to Covid-19.
A few health-care names were among the handful of holdings that weighed on performance during the period. For example, sentiment with respect to insurer Cigna Corp. took a negative turn as investors anticipated that clearing the
backlog of patients who had delayed procedures due to the pandemic would lead to increased medical claims. We expect this dynamic will affect Cigna’s results for no more than a quarter or two, and we added to our position on the stock’s weakness. Cigna was a new addition during the period — as was another health-care holding, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
China Mobile Ltd. was also among the detractors from Fund performance. Early in the period, President Trump signed an order banning U.S. investments in securities of companies with links to China’s military. Questions about the applicability of the order put pressure on the stock. We no longer believed we had any informational advantage with respect to the company, and we exited our position.
OUTLOOK
The Fund remains positioned for a sustained phase of economic strength — with a tilt toward more cyclical areas of the market such as energy, financials and industrials. That said, we have continued to take profits on some of the Fund’s highly cyclical holdings in sectors that have recently led the benchmark’s performance. We have added exposure on the margins to areas such as real estate investment trusts and health care, where returns have lagged and valuations appear attractive relative to an overall expensive market.
While the supply-chain issues that have contributed to recent inflation will work themselves out, this process may take a few more quarters. The emergence of the Covid-19 Delta variant has slowed the process of economic reopening globally, has impacted the operation of ports and manufacturing facilities, and has driven shortages of labor and materials. These near-term conditions may weigh on otherwise strong businesses and lead to opportunities for us to take positions in their stocks at more attractive levels.
While market leadership may continue to gyrate based on shifts in the near-term outlook for fiscal and monetary policy along with macroeconomic factors such as growth, inflation and interest rates, we will continue to adhere to our value-oriented discipline in selecting stocks. We believe the Fund is well-positioned for this environment of elevated equity valuations.

Wasatch Greater China Fund (WAGCX / WGGCX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Greater China Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Dan Chace, Allison He, Pedro Huerta, Kai Pan and Kevin Unger.

OVERVIEW
The Wasatch Greater China Fund — Investor Class declined -1.70% from the period since its inception on November 30, 2020 through September 30, 2021, but held up better than the benchmark MSCI China Index, which fell -14.36%.
China’s economy and markets bounced back more quickly than those of most countries following the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in late 2020. Recently, however, efforts by the Chinese government to tightly contain the coronavirus, increase regulation of certain industries and curb speculation in the real-estate sector have begun to take an economic toll.
In the past few weeks, a deepening liquidity crisis at real-estate development firm China Evergrande Group captured headlines. Although it seemed likely that Chinese authorities would be able to limit the amount of spillover into other segments of the economy, Evergrande’s massive size made it a potential source of systemic risk. Investors feared that even if a worst-case scenario could be avoided, a slowdown in China’s real-estate sector might cause the country’s growth to sputter, impacting the global economy as well.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. was the Fund’s largest individual detractor for the since-inception period. Alibaba’s stock turned down following the late 2020 announcement by Chinese regulators of an investigation into the company’s alleged monopolistic business practices. Payment of a fine appears to have resolved the matter, and we believe the company will continue to grow over coming years.
We continually monitor the Fund’s holdings and do not hesitate to act when we believe a new development has impaired our investment thesis. Such was the case with two of the Fund’s detractors. TAL Education Group and AK
Medical Holdings Ltd. were positions we sold when we came to regard their long-term prospects as less certain. For TAL, which offers after-school care for K-12 students, our altered view was due to the government’s clampdown on for-profit education companies. Medical-device producer AK Medical saw its stock fall after the company disclosed that customers had reduced their purchases in anticipation of potentially lower prices arising from China’s national joint implant volume-based procurement policy.
One of the Fund’s top contributors for the period was Wuxi Biologics Cayman, Inc. Wuxi develops biological medicines and provides services to pharmaceutical firms. Recently, however, concerns that more stringent rules for the approval of new drugs in China might hurt the company’s business weighed on Wuxi’s stock. Although the rules may make drug research more expensive and time-consuming, we believe more established names, like Wuxi, are better-positioned to absorb the change without affecting fundamental profitability. In our view, the company’s strong lineup of drug offerings and China’s large addressable market bode well for Wuxi’s growth.
Taiwan-listed Silergy Corp. was the Fund’s top contributor for the period. Silergy manufactures high-performance mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits. Because Silergy’s business model — which is based on analog design engineering — is difficult to replicate, we believe the company has ample headroom for growth.
Another top contributor was Chailease Holding Co. Ltd., a financial-services provider that has benefited from increased leasing penetration in Taiwan and mainland China. The company also has seen cost improvements and increased diversity of funding sources. Moreover, Chailease has had success reducing risk from non-performing loans in its mainland China segment, bringing the numbers more in line with its Taiwan segment.
OUTLOOK
The emergence of the Delta variant of Covid-19 has raised strong doubts about whether China’s attempts to tightly contain the virus can be sustained. Sudden lockdowns of entire cities and the mass testing of millions of people in response to a few dozen cases have imposed enormous economic and quality-of-life costs.
Even so, it seems unlikely that the government will abandon its zero-Covid approach until after the Winter Olympics in Beijing — and perhaps not until the National Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party meets in October of next year. In the meantime, virus containment and regulatory crackdowns will continue to pose short-term headwinds for China, with the situation at Evergrande an additional wild card whose impact is yet to be fully determined.
In light of these concerns, we believe the high-quality companies the Fund holds are well-positioned to endure stock-price volatility that may occur.

Wasatch International Growth Fund (WAIGX / WIIGX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch International Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ken Applegate, Linda Lasater and Derrick Tzau.
Ken Applegate, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Linda Lasater, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Derrick Tzau, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
The Wasatch International Growth Fund — Investor Class finished the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 with a gain of 26.59% and underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC (All Country) World ex USA Small Cap Index, which gained 33.07% over the same period.
The Fund’s underperformance of the benchmark for the fiscal year was largely due to declines in the stock prices of our holdings in China and Hong Kong. Although the benchmark’s position in China produced a gain for the 12-month period, it was one of the weaker-performing markets, and it weakened significantly in the last three months of the period. Contributing factors included ongoing concerns about earnings, valuations, stimulus withdrawal, supply-chain bottlenecks, rising input costs and a government crackdown on the country’s tech giants.
A more recent concern is the deepening liquidity crisis at real-estate development firm China Evergrande Group. Although it seemed likely that Chinese authorities would be able to limit spillover to other segments of the economy, Evergrande’s massive size made it a potential source of systemic risk. Investors feared that even if a worst-case scenario could be avoided, a slowdown in China’s real-estate sector might cause the country’s growth to sputter, impacting the global economy as well.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
Two of the largest detractors from Fund performance for the 12-month period were China-based AK Medical Holdings Ltd. and Hong Kong-based Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd. AK Medical sells orthopedic implants, spinal interbody cages and artificial vertebral bodies in China. AK Medical’s stock price fell after the company issued a profit warning disclosing that customers had temporarily reduced their purchases in anticipation of potentially lower prices arising from China’s national joint implant volume-based procurement policy. With the near-term earnings picture looking increasingly cloudy, we sold the stock to seek better opportunities elsewhere. Vitasoy is a producer of numerous food and beverage items. On the heels of rapid growth, the company has faced increased competition. Ultimately, we felt our original investment thesis was impaired and decided to move on.
Our investments in the United Kingdom delivered a double-digit gain but underperformed their benchmark counterparts. U.K.-based Avon Protection PLC was the most significant detractor from Fund performance for the 12-month period. The company designs and manufactures specialized personal-protection products. Avon’s stock lagged in recent months due in part to delays in regulatory approval for its body-armor plates. However, the company has secured a contract from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency to supply body-armor plates and we believe recent contract negotiations bode well for the company’s long-term growth potential.
In contrast, our Japanese holdings outperformed the benchmark’s position in Japan led by BayCurrent Consulting, Inc. The company operates in the digital transformation space, offering comprehensive consulting services including a specialization in information-technology (IT) consulting and integration. We believe Japan is a particularly attractive market for the company’s offerings thanks to a large pool of cash-rich corporations that lag their peers in other markets in terms of digital modernization.
Taiwan-listed semiconductor manufacturer Silergy Corp. was also a top contributor. In addition to benefiting from the global semiconductor shortage, we think Silergy’s business model — which is based on analog design engineering — is difficult to replicate and is likely to provide the company with significant headroom for growth over the coming decade.
In India, our overweight position provided a tailwind for performance relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s top contributor in India was IT-services firm Larsen & Toubro Infotech Ltd. (LTI). LTI concentrates largely on banking, financial services and insurance. We believe the IT-services industry may be undergoing structural improvements in profitability as the shift to working from home allows more offshoring of business to India.
OUTLOOK
Some small-company growth stocks remain richly priced by historical standards. In addition to currently high valuations, inflation, higher interest rates and the situation in China rank among the macro conditions investors may encounter in the months ahead. Beyond these concerns, the Covid-19 pandemic and efforts to vaccinate the global population are certain to influence investor sentiment at times.
We make no forecasts as to when or if the Fund might be affected by these factors. Instead, we remain focused on finding new companies that meet our strict criteria for quality and have the potential to produce the growth we expect over the long term. We also continue to conduct thorough due diligence on the companies we already hold. We believe the Fund’s outperformance of its benchmark over longer periods is a result of our investment discipline.

Wasatch International Opportunities Fund (WAIOX / WIIOX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Linda Lasater, Dan Chace and Allison He.
Linda Lasater, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Dan Chace, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Allison He, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
The Wasatch International Opportunities Fund — Investor Class gained 15.68% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021 and significantly underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI AC (All Country) World ex USA Small Cap Index, which increased 33.07%.
Although many large- and small-cap stocks have had strong performance over the past 12 months, micro-cap stocks generally have not kept pace. We think one of the reasons the Fund underperformed its benchmark is that we own a sizable allocation of micro-cap companies. Some micro-cap stocks appeared to experience selling pressure as risk-averse investors became concerned about factors such as the Delta variant of Covid-19, supply-chain problems, labor shortages, inflation, and tapering of monetary and fiscal stimulus. In addition, selling pressure may have been more pronounced in micro caps — many of which are new to the public market — because investors are less familiar with them.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
Japan was the largest detractor from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark for the 12-month period due to stock selection and an overweight position. BASE, Inc. and Hennge KK were among the largest individual detractors. BASE, a provider of internet-based services, is a position we sold because we became less convinced regarding the company’s vision for future growth. Hennge is an information technology (IT) services provider with cloud cybersecurity product offerings. In our view, Hennge has already established a dominant position in Japan thanks to getting an early start in its industry and offering compelling products.
The Fund’s largest detractor was United Kingdom-based Avon Protection PLC, which designs and manufactures specialized personal-protection products. Avon’s stock lagged partly due to delays in regulatory approval for its body-armor plates. However, the company has secured a contract from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency to supply body-armor plates and we believe recent contract negotiations bode well for Avon Protection’s long-term growth potential.
Our holdings in China — notably AK Medical Holdings Ltd. — also weighed on relative performance. AK Medical sells
orthopedic implants, spinal interbody cages and artificial vertebral bodies in China. The stock price fell after the company issued a profit warning disclosing that customers had temporarily reduced their purchases in anticipation of potentially lower prices arising from China’s national joint implant volume-based procurement policy. With the near-term earnings picture looking increasingly cloudy, we sold the stock to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
All three of the Fund’s top individual contributors — Rakus Co. Ltd., Fortnox AB and Esker SA — came from the IT sector, each from a different market. As reflected by our overweight position, the IT sector is where we tend to find many companies that meet our strict criteria for quality and that we believe have strong long-term growth potential.
Top contributor Rakus provides cloud and IT outsourcing services. The company has benefited from strong demand as Japanese companies have increasingly moved their systems to cloud-based solutions, a trend that accelerated during the pandemic. Sweden’s Fortnox provides internet-based business software addressing organizational needs such as accounting, payroll and invoicing. France-based Esker offers software for a variety of back-office business-management tasks, including order-to-cash and procure-to-pay. We believe Esker has a strong position in the office-automation space. We like that many of the company’s products are offered in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) format, which we believe tends to create strong recurring revenue streams.
OUTLOOK
We continue to find information-technology companies around the world that meet our high standards for quality and growth. We believe many of these innovative IT companies are well-positioned to benefit as they help other businesses transform their operations through digitalization. In particular, we have found no shortage of attractive micro-cap IT companies in Japan, where corporations generally seem to lag their peers in other markets in terms of digital transformation.
Earlier, we mentioned concerns including the Delta variant of Covid-19, supply-chain problems, labor shortages, inflation, and tapering of monetary and fiscal stimulus. While these factors may continue to create volatility in international markets, it has been our experience that earnings growth drives stock prices over the long term. So rather than worry about macro events over which we have no control, we think it’s more productive to use our bottom-up research process to find micro-cap companies that we believe are well-positioned to grow reliably over coming years. And we continually add to our positions in stocks that we believe have been unfairly oversold. We believe our disciplined investment approach has helped the Fund outperform its benchmark over longer time periods.

Wasatch International Select Fund (WAISX / WGISX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch International Select Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ken Applegate, Linda Lasater and Derrick Tzau.
Ken Applegate, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Linda Lasater, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager |
Derrick Tzau, CFA Associate Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch International Select Fund — Investor Class gained 18.64% and underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which gained 25.73%. Since its inception on October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021, the Fund gained 22.31% and outperformed the 12.40% increase in the benchmark.
Macro developments that affected investor sentiment over the past 12 months included the emergence of the Delta variant of Covid-19 and ongoing efforts to vaccinate the world’s population against the virus, supply-chain disruptions, labor shortages, rising inflation and interest rates, and expectations that the world’s major central banks could begin withdrawing monetary stimulus sooner rather than later.
Major elections in Japan and Germany, both held during the last three months of the period, were also noteworthy events. Germany’s recent election put Olaf Scholz, a member of Germany’s center-left Social Democratic Party, in a strong position to be the next chancellor. He would replace long-serving Chancellor Angela Merkel. In Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party elected former Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida as its new leader. As such, Kishida is expected to become Japan’s next prime minister. He would replace embattled Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. Within the Fund, Japan and Germany were at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of their performance during the 12-month period. Japan added the most to the Fund’s return and our Japanese holdings outperformed their benchmark counterparts. In contrast, Germany subtracted a small amount from absolute performance and our German holdings underperformed the benchmark’s position in Germany.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The Fund’s strong showing in Japan was helped significantly by our investment in BayCurrent Consulting, Inc. BayCurrent operates in the digital transformation space, offering comprehensive consulting services including a specialization in IT consulting and integration. We believe Japan is a particularly attractive market for the company’s offerings thanks to a large pool of cash-rich corporations that lag their peers in other markets in terms of digital
modernization. We also believe BayCurrent may continue to benefit from an “early mover” advantage thanks to the strong relationships it has built.
Another top contributor from Japan was MISUMI Group, Inc., which offers components and services aimed at factory automation. The company has two divisions — one focuses on manufacturing components and the other focuses on distribution of the company’s products and other brands in the category. MISUMI has benefited from strong sales growth.
Switzerland was the second-best contributor to performance relative to the benchmark led by Partners Group Holding AG, an investment-management firm with a global client base that routinely impresses us with its well-run operation.
On a country basis, the United Kingdom detracted the most from the Fund’s relative performance due to stock selection.
The largest individual detractor from Fund performance for the 12-month period was Germany-based TeamViewer AG. TeamViewer enables remote access to and remote control of electronic devices, as well as other integral device-management and monitoring capabilities. Although we still think the company has solid offerings, we sold our position, choosing to redeploy the proceeds into new investments we believe to be more promising.
We also chose to exit Chr. Hansen Holding AS and Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd. Denmark’s Chr. Hansen is a bioscience company that makes specialized medical components. We sold the stock because we believe Chr. Hansen’s growth might be slower than we originally expected. A combination of competitive and regulatory pressures caused us to believe our original investment thesis for food and beverage producer Vitasoy might be impaired.
OUTLOOK
We are committed to sticking with our investment discipline through all market environments and feel that “staying the course” is particularly important when macro events cause unwelcome volatility in the equity markets. In Wasatch’s more than 45 years of investing, experience has shown that macro events and short-term market movements are unlikely to have more than a fleeting effect on the stock-price performance of our companies. Rather than trying to predict the outcome of events or their effects on stocks, we focus on investing in high-quality companies because we believe they are most likely to produce the earnings growth that history has shown to be the ultimate driver of stock prices over the long term.
We remain committed to finding new companies that meet our strict criteria for quality and have the potential to produce the long-term growth we expect. We also continue to conduct thorough due diligence on the companies we already hold.

Wasatch Micro Cap Fund (WMICX / WGICX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Micro Cap Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Ken Korngiebel.
Ken Korngiebel, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Micro Cap Fund — Investor Class gained 38.81% and underperformed the benchmark Russell Microcap Index, which increased 61.07%. Although our stock selections were particularly strong over the past several years, our |
selections were relative laggards during the 12 months through September.
For most of the 12-month period, U.S. equities advanced against a backdrop of favorable monetary and fiscal conditions. Having pledged to hold interest rates lower for longer, the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept its policy interest rate near zero at its meeting in mid-June. Moreover, Covid-19 relief programs put in place early in the pandemic remained largely intact — boosting the purchasing power of households still eager to spend what was left of the latest round of stimulus payments.
Later in the period, however, interest rates rose as inflationary pressures strengthened. Prices for food, automobiles and housing moved higher — and U.S. crude approached levels not seen since 2014. At the same time, interest rates got an extra nudge from the Fed itself as the central bank signaled plans to wind down its program of quantitative easing. The Delta variant of Covid-19 added a new wrinkle to the pandemic even as schools, businesses and other entities continued to grapple with fallout from previous waves of the virus. This exacerbated an already existing shortage of workers, snarling supply chains and disrupting the production and delivery of goods and services.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The top contributor to Fund performance for the period was XPEL, Inc. — which offers automotive paint and surface-protection films, automotive and architectural window films and ceramic coatings. XPEL has experienced robust growth as buyers of luxury vehicles adopt products previously sold primarily to automotive enthusiasts. Shares of XPEL moved higher after the company reported record top- and bottom-line results. Management cited strong demand across all regions — particularly in China, where the Covid-19 outbreak hampered sales during the previous year.
Kornit Digital Ltd. was also a large contributor. The company makes machines that enable on-demand printing of designs and images on clothing and fabrics. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the advantages of Kornit’s on-demand technology, which greatly reduces the need for inventory on hand and in supply chains. Kornit’s equipment is also environmentally friendly. It uses no water — whereas traditional printing methods consume vast amounts of water — and the inks it uses are biodegradable.
The greatest detractor from Fund performance for the period was Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. — which develops oral therapies for people with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or “bad cholesterol.” Esperion’s recently approved flagship medications are intended to increase the effectiveness of statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs in high-risk patients. However, sales of these new products have been hampered as patients fearful of contracting Covid-19 postponed routine physicals and other non-urgent appointments during which the medications might have been prescribed.
Simulations Plus, Inc. was another significant detractor. The company is a maker of drug-discovery and development-simulation software, which is licensed to pharmaceutical companies and used in the conduct of drug research world-wide. The company’s other business segments are based on its proprietary software technologies. Revenues and earnings have surpassed analysts’ expectations. But the stock was down because of the company’s difficulty in winning new business due to disruption caused by the pandemic.
OUTLOOK
The surge in federal spending since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an explosion of the national debt. We believe the federal government’s seemingly insatiable appetite for funding makes investing in productive new technologies more important than ever.
Among our primary focuses when seeking companies for ownership in the Fund are businesses with innovative products that lead to better medical outcomes at lower costs, or that help other companies operate more efficiently and with less adverse impact on the environment. We believe these types of companies offer attractive long-term potential for shareholders while also enhancing the future prospects of the nation and the world.
The Fund’s structural underexposure to financials is likely to continue to influence short-term performance relative to the benchmark. Rather than a “bet” against the sector, our underweight position in financial companies is a natural outcome of our growth-oriented, bottom-up approach to investing. Banks currently account for the majority of the benchmark’s weighting in financials. Because small banks tend to operate similarly and be affected equally by macroeconomic factors, their undifferentiated business models don’t lend themselves to stock-picking based on fundamentals.
Instead, our bottom-up research process leads us to what we believe are more attractive growth opportunities in areas like health care, information technology, industrials and consumer discretionary. Over the long term, these sectors have represented large overweights in the Fund and have historically delivered strong performance for shareholders.

Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund (WAMVX / WGMVX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
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
During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund — Investor Class climbed 58.42%. The Fund’s gain was just short of the 61.07% increase in the benchmark Russell Microcap Index. Because stock prices have risen so much and so quickly, we initiated a |
research project to look at companies that have recently seen some of their highest margins ever. What we want to understand is which companies may be poised to see their margins decline and which companies are likely to maintain or improve their margins. One of the reasons for declining margins could be the inability to raise prices as input costs such as wages edge higher.
With the micro-cap market near an all-time peak, we’ve been selling companies that are likely to face margin compression and slower earnings growth. Using the proceeds of our sales, we’ve been buying companies in which we think margins will improve over the next several years.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
From a sector perspective relative to the benchmark, our stock selections were particularly rewarding in health care and financials. At the other end of the spectrum, our selections were especially disadvantageous in consumer discretionary, information technology and communication services. Regarding countries, our U.S. holdings and our international names performed well overall. We continue to see somewhat more attractive valuations outside the United States, and countries being at varying stages of reopening provides some additional diversification.
The top contributor to Fund performance for the period was The Joint Corp., a franchisor of chiropractic clinics that operates on a non-insurance, cash-based model. The company has been growing very rapidly and has been taking market share from traditional clinics based on competitive pricing and convenience. We expect continued strong growth from The Joint, especially as economic conditions get back to normal.
Skyline Champion Corp. was another significant contributor. The company designs, manufactures and sells affordable homes and modular buildings. Skyline — which has a healthy balance sheet — focuses on the multi-family, hospitality, senior and workforce-housing segments in the United States and Canada. After an initial shock due to the coronavirus pandemic, the housing market has been remarkably strong — supported by very low interest rates and financial aid from the government. We believe Skyline will continue to benefit from the housing shortage, the need for affordable homes, and the migration out of densely populated cities and into
more rural areas. This migration has been accelerated by ramifications of the pandemic.
The largest detractor from Fund performance for the period was Nautilus, Inc. The company develops, manufactures and markets health and fitness products — including cardio and strength-training equipment and related accessories. The stock fell on news of higher freight costs due to a shortage of shipping containers. The shortage has been disrupting the international transport of raw materials, parts and finished goods.
Pivotree, Inc. — a Canadian IT-services company — was another significant detractor. The company offers cloud automation, application design and support, data management and other related services around the world. While we still have a positive view on Pivotree, the stock was down based on results that failed to meet investor expectations and a general malaise hanging over the Canadian market.
OUTLOOK
Currently, we expect our companies’ revenues and earnings to benefit from ongoing trends of strong industrial and consumer demand. On the other hand, we acknowledge that overall stock valuations are relatively high. Unfortunately, we don’t think these competing factors tell us much about the near-term direction of the market.
Having said that, we believe a consolidation in the market could be healthy. A consolidation might dissuade investors from buying on margin and speculating without regard to fundamentals. For our part, we’d welcome a consolidation that persists for a while because it would help keep investor expectations more reasonable.
As always, regardless of what the future holds, we’ll take the movements the market gives us and attempt to use them to our advantage. If prices advance significantly, we’ll take profits on companies whose stocks have gotten ahead of fundamentals. And if prices move lower, we’ll be on the lookout for high-quality companies that have become more reasonably valued.
Although we acknowledged that overall valuations are high, we should also note that micro and small caps are generally less expensive than large caps. So we feel relatively comfortable investing in our market-cap segment. For example, we recently initiated a position in Intellicheck, Inc. — a provider of identity-authentication and validation solutions for banks, credit-card issuers, and the retail, hospitality, law-enforcement, defense and transportation industries. With businesses and consumers increasingly embracing digitalization and needing to prevent fraud, we think Intellicheck will grow revenues and earnings at attractive rates for years on end.

Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund (WAAEX / WIAEX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by JB Taylor, Ken Korngiebel and Ryan Snow.
JB Taylor Lead Portfolio Manager |
Ken Korngiebel, CFA Portfolio Manager |
Ryan Snow Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Small Cap Growth Fund — Investor Class gained 42.49% while the benchmark Russell 2000 Growth Index increased 33.27% and the Russell 2000 Index rose 47.68%.
The Fund invests heavily in companies with comparatively high returns on equity (ROEs). An interesting observation during the 12-month period was that these higher-ROE companies tended to drive the Fund’s performance on an absolute basis and relative to the benchmark.
For each company in which we’re invested, we continually ask ourselves if we still think it can roughly double its sales and earnings within the next five years. Based on our answer and the company’s current valuation, we decide whether or not the stock continues to be an attractive holding for the Fund. Because we determined that the stock prices for some of our companies had gotten ahead of fundamentals, we sold several of our significant holdings over the course of the period. Having said that, we found an even greater number of companies to buy.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
From a sector perspective relative to the benchmark, the Fund’s stock selections were most favorable in industrials, financials, communication services, information technology and consumer discretionary. Among sectors, there were no major drags on relative performance.
The Fund’s top contributor was Kornit Digital Ltd., which makes machines that enable on-demand printing of designs and images on clothing and fabrics. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the advantages of Kornit’s on-demand technology, which greatly reduces the need for inventory on hand and in supply chains. Kornit’s equipment is also environmentally friendly. It uses no water — whereas traditional printing methods consume vast amounts of water — and the inks it uses are biodegradable.
Another significant contributor was Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. — a specialty retailer offering increasingly popular Western and work-related apparel, footwear and accessories. Boots are somewhat resistant to online competition because they often require specialized fitting. The company has benefited from its economies of scale and multi-channel
business model, which kept revenues flowing during virus-related shutdowns. Stimulus payments by the federal government to consumers appear to have helped as well.
The largest detractor from Fund performance was Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. The company’s retail stores offer a continually changing selection of close-out items and brand-name merchandise at deeply discounted prices. Over the next few quarters, Ollie’s faces difficult comparisons to 2020 — when stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment benefits boosted the disposable income of consumers. Longer term, we think the company’s unique treasure-hunt shopping experience and still-limited national footprint offer attractive prospects for expansion.
Another significant detractor was Hydrofarm Holdings Group, Inc. The company sells hydroponics equipment and supplies for controlled-environment agriculture. Difficult comparisons to 2020 have dampened enthusiasm for Hydrofarm’s shares. In addition, weak crop prices in California have raised concerns about the near-term outlook for sales of the company’s products. California currently accounts for about 35% of Hydrofarm’s business.
OUTLOOK
Some of the characteristics we like to see in a business are exemplified by SiTime Corp., one of our newer holdings. The company is a developer of silicon-based timing components. SiTime manufactures oscillators, clock generators and embedded resonators used for ethernet switches, computing devices, graphics cards, disk drives, mobile phones and subscriber-identity cards. With time-keeping devices transitioning from quartz to silicon, which improves accuracy, we think SiTime is particularly well-positioned as a technology leader that’s years ahead of the competition. Recently, due to shortages of silicon chips, the company was able to raise prices by about 20%. While a price increase might ordinarily reduce demand, SiTime actually received more orders because customers are worried about even further price increases.
We’d also like to emphasize that our bottom-up, quality-oriented investment process helps us avoid being whipsawed by short-term trends in the market. For example, earlier in 2021, lower-quality value stocks experienced an upsurge after years of underperformance relative to higher-quality growth names. And certain “meme stocks,” driven by social-media posts, have skyrocketed without regard to fundamentals. We ignore such trends because we think they lack staying power, and they have nothing to do with finding great companies that have significant competitive advantages in expanding business segments.
In closing, we’re pleased to report that we’ve already begun to resume our face-to-face research meetings with company management teams.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund (WMCVX / WICVX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund is managed by a team of Wasatch portfolio managers led by Jim Larkins and Austin Bone.
Jim Larkins Lead Portfolio Manager |
Austin Bone Associate Portfolio Manager | OVERVIEW
During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund — Investor Class gained 52.79%. The Fund underperformed the |
benchmark Russell 2000 Value Index, which rose 63.92%.
Early in the period, there was a robust appetite for risk — leading to exceptionally strong performance for small-cap value stocks as investors were less attracted to the mega-cap technology names previously viewed as “safe havens.” In general, as the anticipated reopening of the global economy fueled positive market sentiment, small caps outperformed large caps and the value investment style outperformed the growth style.
For the period as a whole, the Fund delivered a strong absolute return but did not keep pace with the benchmark. This performance profile was within our expectations given the nature of our approach. Historically, the Fund has tended to lag when value stocks are experiencing outsized rallies. But over time, the Fund has held up relatively well both during down markets and during times when the value investment style is out of favor.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The Fund’s underperformance was largely due to less advantageous stock selections — with holdings in consumer discretionary, materials and information technology being the weakest on a relative basis.
The largest detractor from the Fund’s return was discount retailer Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc. The company generated impressive earnings early in the pandemic. More recently, however, Ollie’s has not only been dealing with tougher comparisons to 2020 but also with larger issues regarding supply chains — primarily in getting products from warehouses to stores. We added to the Fund’s position in Ollie’s on price weakness.
Grand Canyon Education, Inc. also detracted. The company offers graduate and undergraduate degree programs and certifications. While the use of online education was strong during the height of the pandemic, recent on-campus enrollments have been weaker partially because admissions counselors couldn’t visit many high schools due to the pandemic. We believe the issue is transitory.
During the latter part of the period, performance for both the benchmark and the Fund turned downward as investors wrestled with questions about the direction of U.S. Federal Reserve policy. Also, many U.S. businesses were affected by
headwinds including the aforementioned supply-chain disruptions, the Delta variant of Covid-19, lack of available labor and rising input costs.
On balance, however, the companies represented in the Fund effectively navigated the difficulties and maintained their profit margins in the face of adversity. We believe this underscores our observation that well-managed, high-quality businesses often find ways not only to overcome challenges but to turn them into competitive advantages.
Kadant, Inc. — the top contributor to Fund performance during the period — is a prime example. Kadant, while facing the same supply-chain issues as other businesses in the industrials sector, weathered the storm because the company’s dominant position in several niche markets enabled it to pass along rising costs by increasing prices.
Energy was another notable area. We typically hold a below-benchmark weighting in commodity-related sectors because it’s more challenging to find companies in these sectors that control their own destinies. However, back in 2020, a deep sell-off in the energy sector created an attractive value in Magnolia Oil & Gas Corp., which went on to end the 12-month period among the Fund’s leading contributors to performance.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, we see a mixed picture for stocks. The world is entering uncharted territory as extraordinary monetary and fiscal stimulus measures appear set to decline from historic highs. At this stage, it’s impossible to have a clear sense of what the post-Covid, post-stimulus world will look like.
Given the high level of uncertainty, our approach is to focus on maintaining balance instead of shifting the Fund too far in any direction. We believe we can achieve this, in part, through our longstanding tilt to the growthier side of the value category. We also seek balance by investing in Fallen Angels (growth stocks that have slid into value territory due to short-term factors), Undiscovered Gems (inexpensive growth companies flying below Wall Street’s radar) and Quality Value companies (those with characteristics such as strong fundamentals, low leverage and attractive valuations). This aspect of our approach provides exposure to both faster-growing companies with a risk profile that is somewhat above average, as well as to more conservative stocks that may perform better in a downturn.
We’re also seeking to maintain balance in terms of risk exposure by staying broadly neutral overall but keeping a close eye out for stock-specific opportunities. We think this steady approach, rather than one that attempts to chase short-term market trends, has been a key factor in the Fund’s positive long-term results.

Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund (WAMCX / WGMCX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
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
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund — Investor Class rose 32.75% while the benchmark Russell 2000 Growth Index gained 33.27%. Stocks rallied for much of the period based to a large extent on optimism surrounding economic reopening. |
Late in the period, however, concerns over fiscal and monetary policies and rising long-term interest rates formed a weak backdrop for the equities of small-cap growth companies. Moreover, beyond its human cost, the Covid-19 pandemic continued to take a toll on the ability of companies to conduct business as usual. Supply-chain bottlenecks and shortages of workers conspired to drive up prices for basic materials, finished goods and services throughout the U.S. and global economies.
Inflation fears moved to the forefront partially based on remarks from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell. Testifying in front of the Senate Banking Committee, Chairman Powell said reopening pressures “could again prove to be greater and more enduring than anticipated, posing upside risks to inflation.”
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The top contributor to Fund performance for the period was Kornit Digital Ltd., which makes machines that enable on-demand printing of designs and images on clothing and fabrics. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the advantages of Kornit’s on-demand technology, which greatly reduces the need for inventory on hand and in supply chains. Kornit’s equipment is also environmentally friendly. It uses no water — whereas traditional printing methods consume vast amounts of water — and the inks it uses are biodegradable.
Paylocity Holding Corp. was also a significant contributor. The company provides software for payroll and human-resources management using the software-as-a-service business model. Paylocity is experiencing robust demand from customers with fewer than 50 employees. The stock moved sharply higher after revenues and earnings topped Wall Street estimates. Management cited the momentum and overall execution of the company’s sales team across all market segments.
The greatest detractor from Fund performance for the period was Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. — which develops oral therapies for people with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or “bad cholesterol.” Esperion’s recently approved flagship medications are intended to increase the effectiveness of statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs in high-risk patients. However, sales of these new products have been hampered as patients fearful of contracting
Covid-19 postponed routine physicals and other non-urgent appointments during which the medications might have been prescribed.
Bandwidth, Inc. was also a large detractor. The company operates a cloud-based software platform that enables enterprises to create, scale, and manage voice and text communications. Use of Bandwidth’s platform skyrocketed early in the pandemic as many corporate operations moved to home offices. While we think Bandwidth has the opportunity to grow reasonably well for years into the future, the stock was down on concerns over valuation.
OUTLOOK
Small-company growth stocks remain richly priced by historical standards. In addition to currently high valuations, ongoing inflation and supply-chain issues rank among the most identifiable challenges the Fund faces going forward. Although we think our companies have done a good job navigating these challenges so far, significant risks are still on the horizon. To address these risks, we’re sticking to our discipline — seeking strong businesses that we believe can take market share and outperform their peers on a relative basis.
Toward that end, it’s been great to get out on the road again. A critical step in our investment process is the evaluation of company management teams. Before the pandemic, on-site visits played a key role in that assessment. We’re happy to report that we’ve selectively resumed travel to companies we own in the Fund or may be considering for investment.
We’ve often found that our subjective evaluation of a company’s management has been our most accurate predictor of future stock performance. We believe our extensive experience helps us differentiate between good management teams and truly exceptional ones. In our view, that distinction is absolutely critical to delivering long-term results — and a key area where active management has the potential to outshine an approach constrained by quantitative evaluation alone.
Although we’ve been able to evaluate management team quite effectively by telephone and video conferencing over the past 18 months or so, there’s a human element that’s often missing. Our resumption of in-person visits has reminded us of how much is gained from face-to-face interaction with someone across a conference-room table. It also has provided us with an up-close look at how well the companies themselves are coping with the pandemic. After such a long period of virtual meetings, we’re finding that management teams have a lot more time available to spend with us.

Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund (WHOSX) | SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Management Discussion
The Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund is sub-advised by Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCo).
Van Hoisington Lead Portfolio Manager |
Van R. Hoisington, Jr. Portfolio Manager |
David Hoisington Portfolio Manager |
OVERVIEW
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund declined -12.74% and underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, which fell -0.90%. For the three-year period, the Fund’s average annual return was 9.87% compared to the benchmark’s average annual gain of 5.36%.
DETAILS OF THE YEAR
The 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield reached its peak in the second half of March 2021 at 2.51%. Since then, the yield has declined irregularly, closing at 2.045% on September 30.
PREVAILING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
By the mid-1980s, the marginal revenue product of both non-financial debt and total debt in the United States had fallen below the historic ranges that had prevailed. Looking at the marginal revenue product of debt helps determine how much additional gross domestic product (GDP) is added for each newly borrowed dollar. Consistent with the law of diminishing returns, numerous scholarly studies have verified the deleterious impact of debt on economic growth.
Real GDP per capita in the second calendar quarter of 2021 was $58,478. From 1870 until 2000, real per capita GDP in the U.S. rose by an average of 2.2% per annum. Since then, the growth has averaged 1.1% per annum. The historical rate of growth fell 50% in this time frame. If GDP per capita had grown at the pre-2000 pace, it would be nearly 25.6% higher or $73,474. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the quarter before the pandemic disrupted economic activity, real per capita GDP was about 17% below the trend line of the historic pre-2000 growth rate. The period of subpar performance has lasted more than two decades.
U.S. economic growth slowed sharply in the third calendar quarter of 2021. Consumer confidence fell as buying plans and expectations for increases in future income slumped just one quarter after $2 trillion of debt-financed government transfer payments were made to moderate- and lower-income households. This indicated that the government debt multiplier turned negative very quickly. Working against the economy, supply-side disruptions boosted inflation. Unfortunately, early-stage economic expansions suffer when inflation and interest rates are not declining. In inflationary periods,
prices rise faster than real wages, thereby stunting consumer spending. Faster inflation also thwarts the needed continuing cyclical decline in money-market and bond yields.
Third-quarter torpor should continue over the balance of this year and into 2022. U.S. money-supply growth decelerated sharply over the first three quarters of 2021, mirroring the pattern in the European Union, Japan and China. Moreover, the trend in the velocity of money in all four of these major economic powers continued downward. The deterioration in money supply and velocity is worse outside the U.S. in the more heavily over-indebted countries and where economic growth has consistently lagged that of the U.S. Adding to the situation, the most widely followed measure of the U.S. dollar at the end of the third quarter was at the highest level in a year, transmitting foreign economic weakness into the U.S.
The unprecedented set of supply-side disruptions serve to shift the upward-sloping aggregate supply curve inward. In a graph, with aggregate prices on the vertical axis and real GDP on the horizontal axis, this causes the aggregate supply and demand curves to intersect at a higher price level and a lower level of real GDP. The drop in real GDP, called a supply-side recession, increases what is known as the deflationary gap, which means that the level of real GDP falls further from the level of potential GDP. A process has been set in motion, a process that will eventually reverse the current rise in inflation. In the 1970s, the economy was beset by a string of such supply-curve shifts primarily because of falling oil production. Back then, the inflation rate did not fall but continued to march higher. However, until the late 1970s, Fed actions accelerated money-supply growth. With velocity of money stable then, the aggregate demand curve (M x V) also shifted steadily outward. Inflation from supply-side disruptions became entrenched. The current decline in money growth and velocity indicates that inflation-induced supply-side shocks will eventually be reversed. In this environment, Treasury bond yields could be pushed higher in response to inflation at times. However, we don’t expect these sporadic upward moves to be maintained and we believe the trend in yields for long-dated U.S. Treasury securities (maturities longer than 20 years) remains downward.
As a result of these factors, we believe the U.S. Treasury Fund is well-positioned with investments in long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds.
Thank you for the opportunity to manage your assets.

DEFINITIONS OF FINANCIAL TERMS
Aggregate demand (AD) is the total amount of goods and services demanded in the economy at a given overall price level and in a given time period.
The Aggregate demand (AD) curve illustrates the relationship between economic goods demanded and the price level, assuming all else is held constant.
Aggregate supply (AS) is the total supply of goods and services produced within an economy at a given overall price level in a given time period.
The Aggregate supply curve describes the relationship between price levels and the quantity of output that firms are willing to provide.
Alpha is a risk-adjusted measure of the so-called “excess return” on an investment. It is a common measure of assessing an active manager’s performance as it is the return in excess of a benchmark index or “risk-free” investment. The difference between the fair and actually expected rates of return on a stock is called the stock’s alpha.
Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given stock relative to the overall market. A beta above one is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below one is less volatile.
CFA® stands for Chartered Financial Analyst and is a trademark owned by the CFA Institute.
The “cloud” is the internet. Cloud-computing is a model for delivering information-technology services in which resources are retrieved from the internet through web-based tools and applications, rather than from a direct connection to a server.
Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.
Earnings growth is a measure of growth in a company’s net income over a specific period, often one year.
The government debt multiplier takes into account all of the direct and indirect effects on the economy. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it may be positive or negative. When negative, the multiplier indicates that the adverse effects on the private sector outweighed the first-round effect of the government borrowing funds and then putting them to use. If the direct and indirect effects balance each other out and the multiplier is zero, this is known as the Ricardian equivalence.
Gross domestic product (GDP) is a basic measure of a country’s economic performance and is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year.
An initial public offering (IPO) is a company’s first sale of stock to the public.
The marginal revenue product of debt (MRPD) is the ratio of GDP to debt.
Per capita GDP is a universal measure for gauging the prosperity of nations. It is calculated by dividing GDP by a country’s total population.
Quantitative easing is a government monetary policy used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or
other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.
Return on capital is a measure of how effectively a company uses the money, owned or borrowed, that has been invested in its operations.
Return on equity (ROE) measures a company’s efficiency at generating profits from shareholders’ equity.
Sales growth is the increase in sales over a specified period of time, not necessarily one year.
A short sale is when an investor sells a stock that has been borrowed in anticipation of a decline in the stock’s price. If the price of the stock falls, the investor makes a profit by repurchasing the stock at the lower price and returning it to the lender. However, the risk is that if the price of the stock rises and the investor must repurchase the stock at a higher price, the investor will incur a loss.
Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company.
The velocity of money (V) is defined as the rate at which money circulates, changes hands or turns over in an economy.

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 September 30, 2021.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the table on the next page 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 September 30, 2021. 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 $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.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR 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 $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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant policies related to investments of the Funds held at September 30, 2021. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
Valuation of Securities — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 12.
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 4:00 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 a realized gain or loss.
For financial reporting purposes, estimates on all real estate investment trust (REIT) rates are based on prior year average rates made public by the REITs. To obtain these rates Wasatch utilizes a service through Wall Street Concepts, which gathers and disseminates the information. Prior to filing tax returns, REIT rates are trued up for actual rates. The differences between the actual versus the trued-up rates are captured in the next fiscal year’s financial reporting process.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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.
Other — Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are generally 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. SECURITIES AND 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.
Participation Notes — Certain 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 in which the fund is currently not approved to directly invest, or in markets that prohibit direct investment by foreign purchasers. 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.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) — SPACs are collective investment structures that allow public stock market qualified investors to invest in PIPE shares. SPACs are shell companies that have no operations but go public with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company with the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The Funds may enter into a commitment with a SPAC to purchase PIPE shares if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition. Purchased PIPE shares will be restricted from trading until the registration statement for the shares is declared effective. Upon registration, the shares can be freely sold. As of September 30, 2021, the Wasatch Core Growth Fund, Wasatch Micro Cap Fund and Wasatch Ultra Growth Fund had unfunded commitments outstanding of $30,000,000, $17,000,000 and $25,000,000, respectively, to purchase PIPE shares.
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 an 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. None of the Funds entered into foreign currency contracts transactions during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
It is the Funds’ policy to qualify as regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all of their taxable income to shareholders. The Funds’ tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), partnership adjustments and other temporary tax adjustments.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from ordinary income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends-paid deduction (tax equalization).
Differences between income and/or capital gains as determined on a book basis and a tax basis are primarily
due to differing treatments of EU reclaims, passive foreign investment company shares, foreign capital gains tax, foreign currency transactions, corporate actions, wash sales and investments in REITs. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The Funds’ are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. The losses that are carried forward retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
Capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2021 are as follows:

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from that shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.
EU Reclaims — Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Several Wasatch Funds have filed tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Such tax reclaims received during the year, if any, are included in dividend income in the Statement of Operations and any related receivable, if any, is reflected as interest and dividends receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When uncertainty exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements. For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims received by the Funds, if any, reduce the amounts of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns. In the event that EU reclaims received by the Funds during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and the Funds previously passed foreign tax credit on to its shareholders, the Funds may enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in
order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders.
7. 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, 2022. 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, 2022). A Fund may only make a repayment to the Advisor for the amount reimbursed if such repayment does not cause the Fund’s expense ratio, after repayment is taken into account, to exceed both (i) the expense cap at the time such amounts were waived; and (ii) the Fund’s current expense cap. All amounts not recovered at the end of the period expire on January 31, 2022. Shareholder

expenses will increase if the Advisor does not renew the contractual expense cap after its expiration date. Ordinary operating expenses exclude any interest, dividend expense on short sales/interest expense, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as
litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business in excess of such limitations. Investment advisory fees and fees waived, if any, for the year ended September 30, 2021 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 is, 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 year ended September 30, 2021, the aggregate value of purchases and sales cross trades with other Funds or accounts were as follows:
Fund | Security Name | Purchases | Sales | Realized | ||||||||||||||||
Micro Cap Fund | BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. | $ | 437,798 | — | — | |||||||||||||||
Ultra Growth Fund | BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. | — | $ | 437,798 | $ | (215,489 | ) |
Compensation — Officers serve in that capacity without compensation from the Trust. Beginning in the calendar year of 2021, the Funds’ method of compensating Trustees is to pay each Independent Trustee a retainer of $126,750 per year for services rendered and a fee of $25,350 for each regularly scheduled Board of Trustees meeting, including the executive session held with respect to the investment advisory contract renewal process for the Funds, whether attended in person or telephonically (including any committee meeting attended) (collectively, the “2021 Base Compensation”). Trustees will receive an
additional $12,000 for in-person attendance of any special Board meeting or committee meeting (or any combination thereof), and $6,000 for telephonic attendance of any special Board meeting or committee meeting (or any combination thereof). In addition, the Chair of the Board will receive an additional 25% of the 2021 Base Compensation and the Chair of a Committee will receive an additional 15% of the 2021 Base Compensation. Accordingly, to implement this additional compensation for services as a Chair, the Chair of the Board receives an additional fee of $31,687.50 a year as Chair and $7,921.75 for attendance

in person or telephonically at each regular Board meeting (four meetings per year). The Chair of the Audit Committee and the Chair of the Nominating Committee each receive an additional $19,012.50 per year as Chair and $4,753.13 for attendance in person or telephonically at each regular Board meeting (four meetings per year).
In the calendar year 2020, each Independent Trustee was paid a retainer of $125,000 per year for services rendered and a fee of $25,000 for each regularly scheduled Board of Trustees meeting, including the executive session held with respect to the investment advisory contract renewal process for the Funds, whether attended in person or telephonically (including any committee meeting attended) (collectively, the “2020 Base Compensation”). Trustees received an additional $12,000 for in-person attendance of any special Board meeting or committee meeting (or any combination thereof), and $6,000 for telephonic attendance at any special Board meeting or committee meeting (or any combination thereof). In addition, the Chair of the Board received an additional 25% of the 2020 Base Compensation and the Chair of a Committee received an additional 15% of the 2020 Base Compensation. Accordingly, to implement this additional compensation for services as a Chair, the Chair of the Board received an additional fee of $31,250 a year as Chair and $7,812.50 for attendance in person or telephonically at each regular Board meeting (four meetings per year). The Chair of the Audit Committee and the Chair of the Nominating Committee each received an additional $18,750 per year as Chair and $4,687.50 for attendance in person or telephonically at each regular Board meeting (four meetings per year).
The Funds also may reimburse the Independent Trustees for travel expenses incurred in order to attend meetings of the Board of Trustees and for continuing education expenses.
Payments by Advisor — During 2018, the Advisor paid for a portion of the expenses in connection with the merger of the Long/Short and Global Value Funds. The Advisor will not be reimbursed for these amounts.
The impact of the payments detailed above is reflected in the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights.
Payments by Sub-Advisor — In June 2016, the Funds filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to inform shareholders about a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the U.S. Treasury Fund. The purpose of the Shareholder Meeting was to ask shareholders to approve a new Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCo) with respect to the U.S. Treasury Fund. HIMCo, the Sub-Advisor for the Fund, reimbursed the U.S. Treasury Fund for the costs associated with the proxy statement filing. The Sub-Advisor does not intend to be reimbursed for this amount.
Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement entered into between the Advisor and HIMCo (“HIMCo Sub-Advisory Agreement”), and subject to the supervision of the Advisor, HIMCo directs the investment of the U.S. Treasury Fund’s assets and is responsible for the continuing management of the Fund’s assets, including the placement of orders to purchase or sell securities on behalf of the Fund. The HIMCo Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor shall pay HIMCo a monthly management fee computed at the annual rate of 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets as long as and whenever the Fund has net assets less than $20 million and one-half (1/2) of the monthly fee the Advisor receives from the Fund under the Advisory and Service Contract as long as and whenever the Fund has net assets of $20 million or more. The Advisor retains the remainder of the advisory fee paid under the Advisory and Service Contract. The Sub-Advisor may reimburse the Advisor for certain expenses.
Transfer Agent Intermediary Fees Reimbursed to the Advisor — Each Fund paid fees to, and reimbursed certain out-of-pocket expenses of, the Funds’ transfer agent during the period. In addition, the Advisor and the Funds’ distributor have entered into selling dealer agreements and service agreements with certain financial services companies, broker-dealers, banks, advisors, retirement service providers or other authorized agents or organizations (each an “Intermediary,” together, “Intermediaries”) to accept purchase, exchange and redemption orders on the Funds’ behalf. For Investor Class shares of the Funds, some Intermediaries do not charge investors a direct transaction fee, but instead charge a fee for accounting and shareholder services that the agent provided to Fund shareholders on the Funds’ behalf. Those services typically included recordkeeping, transaction processing for shareholders’ accounts, communication of tax information, income distribution and other services. Generally, the fee was either a per account charge based on the number of accounts to which the Intermediary provided such services, or was a percentage (as of September 30, 2021 up to 0.40% annually) of the average value of Fund Investor Class shares held in such accounts. The Advisor paid the Intermediary fees and the Funds reimbursed the Advisor for the portion of such fees, which are intended to compensate the Intermediary for provision of services of the type that would be provided by the Funds’ transfer agent or other service providers if the shares were registered on the books of the Funds’ transfer agent. Institutional Class shares of the Funds do not reimburse the Advisor for payments to Intermediaries. The Funds’ reimbursement of expenses incurred for services provided by Intermediaries are included in “Shareholder servicing fees – Investor Class” in the Statements of Operations.

Custodian Out-of-Pocket Expense Reimbursement — In September 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), the Funds’ custodian, provided each Fund with an offer to reimburse the Fund for certain out-of-pocket expenses it charged the Fund between 2003 and 2015. The incorrect charges were due to inaccurate billing rates used by SSB for certain out-of-pocket expenses. SSB made the reimbursements in May 2017.
10% Shareholders — As of September 30, 2021, the Funds had individual shareholder accounts and/or omnibus shareholder accounts (comprised of a group of individual shareholders), which individually amounted to more than 10% of the total shares outstanding of each Fund as detailed below:

10. LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 14, 2021, the Trust and each Fund renewed and amended agreements for two open lines of credit totaling $300,000,000, one of which is $100,000,000 committed, and the other of which is $200,000,000 uncommitted, with State Street Bank and Trust Company (together, the “Line”). The agreements, as amended, have no change in the committed, uncommitted and total amounts available on the Line. 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 overnight federal-funds rate 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 year ended September 30, 2021, the following Funds had borrowings:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
11. PRINCIPAL RISKS
Market Risk — Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or shares of a Fund in general, may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of a Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments due to short-term market movements or any longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on a Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of a Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. Any of such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of a Fund’s shares and result in increased market volatility.
Global Pandemic Risk — The value of a Fund’s investments may be impacted by global health crises or other events. For example, an outbreak of the respiratory disease designated as Covid-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. The transmission of Covid-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in international, national and local border closings and other significant travel restrictions and disruptions; significant disruptions to business operations across many industries, supply chains and customer activity; event cancellations and restrictions; service cancellations, reductions and other changes; significant challenges in health care service preparation and delivery; and quarantines, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. These impacts also have caused significant market volatility and disruption which may continue over extended periods. The ultimate impact of Covid-19 or other health emergencies on the domestic and global economies is impossible to predict accurately. Less developed countries and their health systems may be more vulnerable to these impacts. The impact of this Covid-19 pandemic may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession and may adversely impact the value of an investment in a fund.
Credit Risk — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where the other party to a transaction may fail 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 on its obligations. The
potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Inflation Risk — Inflation risk is the possibility that inflation will reduce the purchasing power of a currency, and subsequently reduce the value of a security or asset, and may result in rising interest rates. Inflation is the overall upward price movement of goods and services in an economy that causes the value of a currency to decline.
Interest Rate Risk — Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed-income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values. Interest rate risk should be modest for shorter-term securities, moderate for intermediate-term securities and high for longer-term securities. Generally, an increase in the average maturity of a Fund will make it more sensitive to interest rate risk. The interest rate is the amount charged, expressed as a percentage of principal, by a lender to a borrower for the use of assets.
Foreign Currency Risk — If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. This also includes the risk associated with higher transaction costs, delayed settlements, currency controls and adverse economic developments related to foreign investments.
Region Risk — The Funds, except the U.S. Treasury Fund, invest in equity and fixed-income securities of non-U.S. issuers. Because certain foreign markets are illiquid, market prices may not necessarily represent realizable value. 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.
India Region Risk — The securities markets in the India region (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States and the securities industries in these countries are comparatively underdeveloped. Financial intermediaries may not perform as well as their counterparts in the United States or in other countries with more developed securities markets. In
123
Wasatch Funds |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
some cases, physical delivery of securities in small lots has been required in India and shortages of vault capacity and trained personnel have existed among qualified custodial Indian banks. A Fund may be unable to sell securities when the registration process is incomplete and may experience delays in receipt of dividends. If trading volume is limited by operational difficulties, the ability of the Fund to invest may be impaired and the Fund’s ability to buy or sell Indian securities may be impaired if the Fund’s ability to transact is denied, delayed, suspended or not renewed by local regulators. In recent years, exchange-listed companies in the information-technology sector and related industries (such as software) have grown so as to represent a significant portion of the total capitalization of the Indian market. The value of these companies will generally fluctuate in response to technological and regulatory developments. In addition, governmental actions can have a significant effect on economic conditions in the India region, which could adversely affect the value and liquidity of investments. Although the governments of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have recently begun to institute economic reform policies, there can be no assurance that they will continue to pursue such policies or, if they do, that such policies will succeed. The region is an uncertain tax environment and it is difficult to know and predict the potential implications of future tax developments. Religious, cultural and military disputes persist in India, and between India and Pakistan (as well as sectarian groups within each country). The longstanding border dispute with Pakistan remains unresolved. In recent years, terrorists believed to be based in Pakistan struck Mumbai (India’s financial capital), further damaging relations between the two countries. If the Indian government is unable to control the violence and disruption associated with these tensions (including both domestic and external sources of terrorism), the result may be military conflict, which could destabilize the economy of India. Both India and Pakistan have tested nuclear arms, and the threat of deployment of such weapons could hinder development of the Indian economy, and escalating tensions could impact the broader region, including China.
Liquidity Risk — The trading market for a particular security may be less liquid than it appears and market prices may not represent realizable value. This may be likely when a Fund has a proportionately large investment in securities with small market capitalizations or securities in foreign markets that trade infrequently. Reduced liquidity will have an adverse impact on a Fund’s ability to sell such securities quickly at the currently marked price if necessary to meet redemptions.
Greater China Region Risk. The Greater China Fund invests primarily in the securities of companies tied to economically to the Greater China Region (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan). Each Fund, except the U.S. Treasury Fund, may invest in the securities of companies tied economically to the Greater China Region. In addition to the risks of investing in foreign securities in general, which are described in the Funds’ prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, investing in the Greater China Region subjects a fund to unique risks that could significantly impact the value of the fund’s investments.
Chinese governmental actions can significantly affect economic conditions in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, or a particular issuer or industry, which could adversely affect the value and liquidity of investments. The Chinese government exercises significant control over China’s economy through, among other things, its industrial policies, monetary policies, management of currency exchange rates, and management of the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations. Changes in these policies may adversely impact industries and companies in China. Although over the years the Chinese government has been reforming economic and market practices, the Chinese government could, at any time, alter or discontinue such economic and market reform programs adversely affecting industries and companies in China.
China’s economy, particularly its export-oriented industries, may be adversely impacted by developments in the economies and by governmental actions of its principal trading partners, including the United States, such as the imposition of trading restrictions, tariffs or other protectionist trade policies. The current political climate has intensified concerns of a potential trade war between China and the United States, as each country has recently imposed tariffs on the other country’s products. In addition, on November 12, 2020, President Trump issued Executive Order 13959, which prohibits U.S. persons from transacting in publicly traded securities designated by the U.S. Department of Defense as “Communist Chinese Military Companies” or “CCMCs” or in instruments derived from, or designed to provide investment exposure to, prohibited CCMC securities. The list of CCMCs is subject to change from time to time, which could prevent a fund from acquiring securities previously deemed suitable investments or could result in a forced sale of a security in the portfolio at an inopportune time or price, which may result in losses to the fund. Such government prohibitions may affect the value of the securities held in a fund’s portfolio, directly or indirectly, as well as negatively impact the market for other China-based issuers, resulting in reduced liquidity and price declines. The government prohibition also could lead to the inability to transact in the securities of other companies within the Greater China Region as the result of escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China. The prohibition took effect on January 11, 2021, but it is unclear whether the Executive Order will continue in effect under the new presidential administration or be amended. Additionally, on December 2, 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which could cause the securities of foreign issuers (including China) to be delisted from U.S. stock exchanges if those companies do not permit U.S. oversight of the auditing of their financial information. To the extent a fund invests in securities of Chinese companies listed in the U.S.,
124
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
delisting could impact the fund‘s ability to transact in such securities and could significantly impact their liquidity and market price. In addition, the fund would have to seek other markets in which to transact in such securities, which would also increase the Fund’s costs. It is difficult to predict the consequences of these actions or whether further tariffs will be imposed or actions will be taken.
Further, China’s domestically oriented industries may be particularly sensitive to, and adversely affected by, changes in government policy and investment cycles as China’s consumer class continues to grow. China has historically managed its currency in a tight range relative to the U.S. dollar, but this may be subject to greater uncertainty as Chinese authorities may change the policies that determine the exchange rate mechanism.
In addition, the Chinese government may actively attempt to influence the operation of China’s securities markets through, among other things, currency controls, direct investments, limitations on specific types of transactions (such as short selling), limiting or prohibiting investors (including foreign institutional investors) from selling holdings in Chinese companies, or other similar actions. Certain securities issued by companies located or operating in China, such as China A-shares are subject to trading restrictions, quota limitations, and less market liquidity. Chinese authorities may intervene in China’s securities market and halt or suspend trading of securities for short or even longer periods of time. China’s securities markets have experienced considerable volatility and have been subject to relatively frequent and excessive trading halts and suspensions which, among other things, contributes to uncertainty in the markets, reduces the liquidity of securities subject to trading halts or suspensions and leads to greater market execution and valuation risks. Such actions could adversely impact a fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective(s) and its ability to trade China A-shares during such periods and could result in a fund’s limiting or suspending shareholder redemption privileges as permitted in accordance with applicable law. China’s securities markets generally continue to experience inefficiencies, volatility and pricing anomalies resulting from governmental influence, lack of publicly available information and/or political or social instability.
Additional risks of loss from investing in China include currency fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, less liquidity, higher rates of inflation, expropriation of property, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, imposition of tariffs, limitations on repatriation of currency, exchange control regulations (including currency blockage), trading halts and differing legal, accounting, auditing, financial and reporting standards. Financial reporting by Chinese companies does not have as much regulatory oversight as in the United States. Frequent intervention by the Chinese government, limits on credible corporate governance standards, limited transparency of market and accounting information, and limited oversight of accounting firms increase the risk of
insider dealing, market manipulation, improper accounting, accounting fraud and other types of corporate misconduct. Social unrest within China and between China and Hong Kong, or confrontations with neighboring countries, including military conflicts in response to such events, strained international relations and security concerns, such as terrorism, may also adversely impact China’s economy, disrupting its economic growth and adversely affecting a fund’s investments. Any spread of an infectious illness, public health threats or similar issues could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally also have a significant impact on the economies of the Greater China Region (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) and other Asian countries, which in turn could adversely affect a fund’s investments. The economies of many Asian countries differ from the economies of more developed countries in many respects such as the rate of growth, inflation, capital investment, resource self-sufficiency, financial system stability, and sensitivity to changes in global trade. Certain Asian countries are highly dependent upon and may be affected by developments in the United States, Europe and other Asian economies, and their economies and companies could be affected if global economic conditions deteriorate as a result of political instability and uncertainty and by the imposition of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies.
The Greater China Region includes China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. With respect to Hong Kong, the Chinese and Hong Kong economies are vulnerable to China’s longstanding disagreement with Hong Kong related to the former British colony’s integration into a special administrative region of China. If China were to exert its authority so as to alter the economic, political or legal structures or the existing social policy of Hong Kong, such actions may have a negative impact on investor and business confidence in Hong Kong, its markets and business performance, and in turn on a fund’s investments. In addition, the Hong Kong dollar trades at a fixed exchange rate in relation to the U.S. dollar, which has contributed to the growth and stability of the Hong Kong economy. However, it is uncertain how long the currency peg will continue or what effect the establishment of an alternative exchange rate system would have on the Hong Kong economy. Because a fund’s net asset value is denominated in U.S. dollars, the establishment of an alternative exchange rate system could result in a decline in the fund’s net asset value. With respect to Taiwan, China has a complex territorial dispute regarding the sovereignty of Taiwan. Continuing hostility between China and Taiwan and any potential military conflict or future political or economic disturbances may adversely impact investments in such countries or make investments in such countries impracticable or impossible. Any escalation in hostilities may, among other things, distort Taiwan’s capital account, adversely impact other Asian countries and adversely impact a fund’s investments in Asia, including China and Taiwan. Taiwan’s market and economy also
125

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
faces increasing competition from other low-cost emerging economies and certain protectionist threats.
In China, direct ownership of companies in certain sectors by foreign individuals and entities (including U.S. persons and entities such as Wasatch Funds) is prohibited. To facilitate foreign investment in these businesses, many Chinese companies have created “Variable Interest Entities” (VIEs) to facilitate indirect foreign ownership. In such an arrangement, a China-based operating company typically establishes an offshore shell company in another jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. That shell company enters into service and other contracts with the China-based operating company, then issues shares on a foreign exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Foreign investors hold stock in the VIE shell company rather than directly in the China-based operating company. This arrangement allows U.S. investors to obtain economic exposure to the China-based company indirectly through the contractual VIE structure rather than directly through a formal equity ownership structure.
VIEs are a common industry practice and well known to officials and regulators in China. However, VIEs are not formally recognized under Chinese law. Recently, the government of China provided new guidance to and placed restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore, including through VIE structures. Investors face uncertainty about future actions by the government of China that could significantly affect an operating company’s financial performance and the enforceability of the VIE shell company’s contractual arrangements. It is uncertain whether Chinese officials or regulators will withdraw their implicit acceptance of the VIE structure, or whether any new laws, rules or regulations relating to these structures will be adopted or, if adopted, what impact they would have on the interests of foreign shareholders. Under extreme circumstances, China might prohibit the existence of VIEs, or limit a VIE’s ability to pass through economic and governance rights to foreign individuals and entities. If the Chinese government takes action that affects VIEs, the market value of a fund’s associated portfolio holdings would likely suffer significant, detrimental, and possibly permanent effects, which could result in substantial investment losses.
In addition, Chinese companies, including Chinese companies listed on U.S. exchanges, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements, accounting standards or auditor oversight as companies in more developed countries. As a result, information about Chinese securities and VIEs in which a fund invests may be less reliable or complete. As with other Chinese companies with securities listed on U.S. exchanges, U.S.-listed VIEs and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) may be delisted if they do not meet U.S. accounting standards and auditor oversight requirements. Delisting would significantly decrease the liquidity and value of the securities, decrease the ability of
a fund to transact in such securities and may increase the cost of the fund if it must seek other markets in which to transact in such securities. There also may be significant obstacles to obtaining information necessary for investigations into or litigation against Chinese companies, and shareholders may have limited legal remedies.
Shareholder Concentration Risk — A significant portion of the net assets of the Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund is owned by a group of shareholders advised by a common investment advisor. The Emerging Markets Select Fund also has a significant portion of net assets concentrated in relatively few related accounts. In the event of significant redemption activity by these shareholders, these Funds could experience a loss when selling portfolio securities to meet such redemption requests. The Funds could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Fund expenses may increase and performance may be materially affected.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND 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:
• | Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
• | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. 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. |
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, represent 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
126
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 |
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 (“NASDAQ”) system, 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. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 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.
Derivative Instruments — Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and 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 and categorized as Level 2.

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 September 30, 2021 in valuing the Funds’ assets and liabilities:

* | Other financial instruments are unfunded commitments with SPACs, and are not reflected in the Schedule of Investments. An unfunded commitment with a SPAC is recorded at net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). |
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 year ended September 30, 2021 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
There was a transfer of $1,994,174 in the Micro Cap Value Fund from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the conversion of an unlisted preferred stock to a freely trading common stock. This transfer amount represents the beginning of the period value plus the purchases for the dividends paid in kind over the reporting period for Vertex Energy, Inc., which transferred to Level 1 during the period in order to properly represent the activity on the Level 3 Rollforward presented below.
The following is a reconciliation of the fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the Funds during the year ended September 30, 2021:
Fund | Market Value Beginning Balance 9/30/2020 | Purchases At Cost | Sales (Proceeds) | Accrued Discounts (Premiums) | Realized Gain/ (Loss) | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Transfers In at Market Value | Transfers Out at Market Value | Market Value Ending Balance 9/30/2021 | Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) On Investments Held at 9/30/2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Enterprise-Value-To-Revenue (EV/R) multiple is a measure of the value of a stock that compares a company’s enterprise value to its revenue.
Changes in EV/R multiples may change the fair value of an investment. Generally, a decrease in this multiple will result in a decrease in the fair value of an investment.
The Funds’ other Level 3 investments have been valued using observable inputs, unadjusted third-party transactions and quotations or unadjusted historical third party information. No unobservable inputs internally developed by the Funds have been applied to these investments, thus they have been excluded from the above table.

BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

The Funds file their complete schedules of investments with the SEC for their first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. The Funds’ Form N-PORT filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Wasatch Funds have adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program to govern the
approach to managing liquidity risk within the Wasatch Funds (the “Program”). The Board has approved the designation of the Advisor’s Liquidity Risk Committee to oversee the Program.
The Program’s principal objectives include supporting each Fund’s compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations timely. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of a Fund’s investments into groupings that reflect the Liquidity Risk Committee’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.
Each of the Wasatch Funds maintains a high level of liquidity and is deemed to be a fund that primarily holds assets that are defined as highly liquid investments. A Highly Liquid Investment is defined as cash and any investment reasonably expected to be convertible to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without the conversion to cash significantly changing the market value of the investment. A fund that is deemed to primarily hold assets that are Highly Liquid Investments will have at least 55% of its net assets in Highly Liquid Investments. As a result, each Fund has not adopted a Highly Liquid Investment minimum.
There have been no liquidity events that have materially affected the performance of a Fund or its ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Liquidity Risk Committee has determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds’ liquidity risk since implementation. There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
Further information on liquidity risks applicable to the Funds can be found within the Prospectus.
