SHAREHOLDERS LETTER | April 30, 2009 |
June 15, 2009
Dear Shareholder,
M arket events in recent months have presented enormous challenges to investors. During the six-month period ending April 30, 2009 (“the Reporting Period”), market sentiment shifted from extreme risk aversion to an environment where risk taking was handsomely rewarded. Throughout this period, we remained focused on positioning our Funds in an effort to minimize potential risks associated with the mounting global recession and financial crisis. As markets began to rally, we carefully moved to participate in regions and sectors of the market which we believed would offer attractive opportunities given the more positive market tone. However, we remained vigilant as to the possibility that these early signs of market improvement could prove short-lived. Having the flexibility to quickly reposition our strategies if necessary remains an important component to our approach in this environment.
Within our flagship International Equity Funds, our defensive posture helped relative results during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 and hindered performance during the Reporting Period. In early March 2009, negative sentiment previously targeted at the banking sector and other areas quickly began to turn more hopeful. A sudden and dramatic move forward in financials, emerging markets and more cyclical industries led us to underperform given our underrepresentation and allocation within many of these sectors. While we did move to reduce these differences between the Funds and the benchmark, the speed at which the markets turned left a negative imprint on relative results.
We have, cautiously, become more optimistic toward select emerging markets, although we remain underweight relative to the benchmark in our international and global equity strategies. While investments have been more recently targeted toward Asia, we also have limited exposure to Latin America. Brazil, given its commodity orientation has represented the majority of exposure within this region. In addition, investments in Venezuela have more recently been negatively impacted under the rule of President Chavez. Since the potential risks associated with this market are significant, investments in this country have historically represented a very small part of the International Equity Fund’s net assets. Given the current inability to repatriate cash proceeds, we have taken the decision to apply a “real effective exchange rate” policy in valuing our positions. As a result of this decision, the negative impact to performance during the month of May was approximately 0.35% of the net assets of the Fund.

As mentioned above, we believe it is important to have enhanced flexibility and liquidity in international equity markets. As investors continuously decipher a dynamic series of financial and economic data, we recognize that sentiment can quickly shift back toward risk aversion within regions and sectors. To enhance our ability to respond promptly, the use of indexed positions which includes exchange traded funds, futures and swaps has become more prevalent in helping to shape the risk profile of the Funds. To the extent that markets are influenced more by longer-term fundamental factors, the use of such indexed positions would represent a smaller part of our strategies.
We have been pleased with the continued interest in our fixed income funds. As spreads offered on various sectors of the bond market have reached attractive levels, we believe our portfolio managers for the Artio Global High Income and Artio Total Return Bond Funds have positioned the investments to exploit these opportunities. We are also encouraged with our suite of US equity funds which will soon reach their three-year anniversary on July 24. Reaching this important milestone we believe will encourage investors to consider our offering in the US microcap, smallcap, midcap and multicap areas.
With regard to the proposed IPO of Artio Global Investors Inc. (the parent company of Artio Global Management LLC, the manager of the Funds), we confirm that it is Artio Global’s intention to proceed with its IPO, subject to market conditions. We anticipate a few small changes to the previously proposed structure: our Principals are likely to participate in the IPO by selling a limited number of shares; while their five-year lock-up will remain, we will permit them to make sales to cover tax obligations (their after-tax interest is unchanged); and we expect to raise significantly less debt than we had originally contemplated. We are gratified that our mutual fund shareholders approved the new advisory contracts last year and look forward to keeping you updated on these developments.
Finally, as you may know, Artio Global Investors is a US subsidiary of Switzerland’s Julius Baer Holding Ltd. Julius Baer recently announced its intention to separate its Private Banking and Asset Management businesses into two distinct and independent Swiss Exchange listed entities. As a result of this planned separation of its businesses, Julius Baer Holding Ltd. will be renamed GAM Holding Ltd and will consist of GAM, Artio Global Investors and Julius Baer’s asset management businesses. The Private Banking business of Julius Baer will be part of a new entity, Julius Baer Group Ltd. Julius Baer anticipates the transaction will be completed during the third quarter of this year and is subject to Julius Baer shareholders’ and regulatory approvals. For Artio Global and our clients, it is business as usual. There is no impact to our asset management activities or to our organizational structure. Furthermore, the same Artio Global professionals remain in place.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a stockholder of the Artio Global Equity Fund Inc. or a shareholder of Artio Global Investment Funds, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, shareholder service fees, distribution fees and other fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Funds and to compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other funds.
The table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2008 to April 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for the Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the Fund operated as a closed-end Fund and its common stock (which then comprised of a single share class) was listed on the NYSE. After the close of business on June 30, 2004, all of the common stock was converted into Class A shares of the Fund, and the Fund began seeking to maximize total return principally through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located throughout the world. For periods prior thereto, all historical performance information for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Fund’s common stock while it was a closed-end fund. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
The Artio Global Funds consist of the Artio Global Equity Fund Inc. (“Global Equity Fund”) and the Artio Global Investment Funds (the “Trust”). As of April 30, 2009, the Artio Global Funds are comprised of nine funds (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”).
The Global Equity Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on May 23, 1990 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
On July 1, 2004, the Global Equity Fund changed its name from The European Warrant Fund, Inc. and converted from a closed-end, non-diversified investment company (“closed-end fund”) to an open-end diversified investment company with a different investment objective, different investment strategies, different management team and a new investment adviser (an affiliate of the Global Equity Fund’s adviser). Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the Global Equity Fund operated as a closed-end fund and its common stock (which then comprised a single share class) was listed on the NYSE. After the close of business on June 30, 2004, all of the common stock was converted into Class A shares of the Global Equity Fund, and the Global Equity Fund began seeking to maximize total return principally through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located throughout the world. For periods prior thereto, all historical performance information for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Global Equity Fund’s common stock while it was a closed-end fund.
The Trust is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2009, the Trust offered eight investment funds: Artio International Equity Fund (the “International Equity Fund”), Artio International Equity Fund II (the “International Equity Fund II”), Artio Total Return Bond Fund (the “Total Return Bond Fund”), Artio Global High Income Fund (the “Global High Income Fund”), Artio U.S. Microcap Fund (the “U.S. Microcap Fund”), Artio U.S. Smallcap Fund (the “U.S. Smallcap Fund”), Artio U.S. Midcap Fund (the “U.S. Midcap Fund”) and Artio U.S. Multicap Fund (the “U.S. Multicap Fund”). Each investment fund is diversified except Total Return Bond Fund which is a non-diversified investment fund.
The International Equity Fund is closed to new shareholders (at the account level). This excludes 401(k) plans that have existing investments in the Fund through
Artio Global Funds ï 2009 Semi-Annual Report
139
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
related 401(k) plans and new plan participants within 401(k) plans that hold positions in the Fund. In addition, existing shareholders may continue to invest.
Each of the Funds offers multiple share classes. As of April 30, 2009, all of the Funds offered Class A and Class I shares. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and expenses that are not attributable to a specific class are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other expenses are allocated to the respective Fund based on average daily net assets.
Each Fund has distinct investment objectives. Following are the objectives for the Funds:
| | | | |
Fund Name | | Investment Objective | | |
|
|
Global Equity Fund | | Seeks to maximize total return, primarily through capital appreciation. | | |
International Equity Fund | | Seeks long term growth of capital. | | |
International Equity Fund II | | Seeks long term growth of capital. | | |
Total Return Bond Fund | | Seeks to provide total return, which consists of two components: (1) changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities (both realized and unrealized appreciation/depreciation) and (2) income received from its portfolio securities. | | |
Global High Income Fund | | Seeks to maximize total return, principally through a high level of current income, and secondarily through capital appreciation. | | |
U.S. Microcap Fund | | Seeks to achieve long term growth of capital. | | |
U.S. Smallcap Fund | | Seeks to achieve long term growth of capital. | | |
U.S. Midcap Fund | | Seeks to achieve long term growth of capital. | | |
U.S. Multicap Fund | | Seeks to achieve long term growth of capital. | | |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Equity securities, which are traded primarily on a U.S. or foreign stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on that exchange or, if there were no sales during the day, at the mean of the current quoted bid and asked prices. Other Portfolio holdings which are traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges
140
Artio Global Funds ï 2009 Semi-Annual Report
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that when a significant event subsequent to the closing of a foreign exchange is likely to have changed such value, including substantial changes in the values of U.S. markets subsequent to the close of a foreign market. In these circumstances, the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Global Equity Fund’s Board of Directors, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (each a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”) or their respective delegates. Debt securities, including bank loans (other than government securities and short-term obligations) are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Boards. Portfolio debt securities acquired with more than 60 days to maturity are fair valued using matrix pricing methods determined by an independent pricing service which takes into consideration such factors as similar security prices, yields, maturities, liquidity and ratings. Investments in government securities (other than short-term securities) are valued at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Any securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which a significant event has occurred since the time of the most recent market quotations, are valued in accordance with fair value pricing procedures approved by the respective Board. To the extent that a Fund invests in other open-end funds, the Fund will calculate its NAV based upon the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests. The prospectuses of these underlying funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of such fair value pricing.
The Boards have identified certain circumstances in which the use of fair value pricing method is necessary. In such circumstances, the Boards have also approved an independent fair value service for foreign equities, which may provide the fair value price. For options, swaps, and warrants, a fair value price may be determined using an industry accepted modeling tool. In addition, the Funds’ Pricing Committees may determine a fair value price, subject to the approval of the respective Board, based upon factors that include the type of the security, the initial cost of the security and price quotations from dealers and/or pricing services in similar securities or in similar markets.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective November 1, 2008. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value and to establish
Artio Global Funds ï 2009 Semi-Annual Report
141
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| |
Level 1— | Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
|
Level 2— | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
Level 3— | Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2009 in valuing the Funds’ investments:

b) Repurchase agreements: The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation in return for the use of the Fund’s available cash, subject to an agreement by the seller to repurchase and the Fund to resell the obligation, at an agreed-upon price and time. Thus, the yield during the Fund’s holding period is determinable. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during a Fund’s holding period. The value of the collateral at all times is equal to at least 100% of the total amount of the
144
Artio Global Funds ï 2009 Semi-Annual Report
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
repurchase obligations, including accrued interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to a Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period in which the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The Funds’ investment adviser reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with whom the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks. The Funds primarily engage in repurchase agreements with their custodian to accommodate cash sweeps of any residual U.S. dollars held in a particular portfolio.
c) Foreign currency: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies and investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains or losses on investments which result from changes in foreign currencies have been included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Net realized currency gains and losses include foreign currency gains and losses occuring between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and the gains and losses from differences between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuations in exchange rates between the purchase settlement date and sale trade date is included in realized gains and losses on security transactions.
d) Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market at each valuation date. The change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
As part of its investment strategy, a Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to manage a Fund’s portfolio holdings against currency risks. A Fund may also utilize forward foreign currency contracts to reduce or eliminate an underweighted position in a currency relative to its benchmark when purchasing underlying equities denominated in that currency is not advisable by the adviser. With respect to a Fund’s obligations to purchase or sell currencies under forward foreign currency contracts, a Fund will earmark liquid securities having a value at least equal to its obligations, or continue to own or have the right to sell or acquire respectively, the currency subject to the forward foreign currency contract.
Artio Global Funds ï 2009 Semi-Annual Report
145
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund’s portfolio securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts to sell foreign currency limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.
Some of the forward foreign currency contracts entered into by the Funds are classified as non-deliverable forwards (“NDF”). NDFs are cash-settled, short-term forward contracts that trade thinly or are denominated in non-convertible foreign currency, where the profit or loss at the time of the settlement date is calculated by taking the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at the time of settlement, for an agreed upon notional amount of funds. All NDFs have a fixing date and a settlement date. The fixing date is the date at which the difference between the prevailing market exchange rate and the agreed upon exchange rate is calculated. The settlement date is the date by which the payment of the difference is due to the party receiving payment. NDFs are commonly quoted for time periods of one month up to one year, and are normally quoted and settled in U.S. dollars. They are often used to gain exposure to and/or to hedge exposure to foreign currencies that are not internationally traded.
e) Bank loans: The Global High Income Fund may invest in bank loans. Bank loans include institutionally traded floating and fixed-rate debt securities generally acquired as a participation interest in or assignment of a loan originated by a lender or financial institution. Assignments and participations involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates on floating rate securities adjust with interest rate changes and/or issuer credit quality. Many such loans are secured, although some may be unsecured. Loans that are fully secured offer a fund more protection than an unsecured loan in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. There is no assurance that any collateral securing a loan could be liquidated or, if liquidated, that such collateral would be of sufficient value to repay the loans taken against it. There may be limited secondary market liquidity for these instruments which could result in volatile pricing for the securities which in turn may affect this Fund’s NAV.
The Global High Income Fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. There was no unfunded commitment at April 30, 2009.

f) Foreign securities: Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include the loss of value in investments of foreign securities because of currency exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility that may exceed the volatility of U.S. securities, uncertain political conditions, lack of timely and reliable financial information and other factors. These risks are increased for investment in emerging markets. Emerging market securities involve unique risks, such as exposure to economies less diverse and mature than that of the U.S. or more established foreign markets. Economic or political instability may cause larger price changes in emerging market securities than other foreign securities. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
g) Financial futures contracts: In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in security values, the Funds may buy and sell futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. To the extent fluctuations in value are not settled with the counterparty on a daily basis, the Funds are also subject to the credit risk of the counterparty. Cash collateral for futures contracts outstanding may be held by the broker on certain contracts. These amounts are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Cash on deposit for broker.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. The Funds generally agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts.
The Funds may also enter into swap contracts that function similar to futures contracts (synthetic futures) to gain exposure or protect against changes in security values. Generally these contracts are counterparty agreements and do not require daily variation margin payments to be directly paid to the counterparty, however they do require hard segregation of cash. These amounts are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash on deposit for broker. The Funds are

exposed to the credit risk of the counterparty in addition to the risks described above. The accounting treatment of such contracts is similar to that described above for standard futures contracts. The Funds disclose synthetic futures with other futures contracts.

h) Options: The Funds may write options to generate current income and to manage investment risk. Each Fund may write put and call options on up to 25% of the value of the securities in its portfolio and will realize fees (referred to as “premiums”) for granting the rights evidenced by the options. When a Fund writes a call option or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by that Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market at each valuation date. When a written option expires, that Fund realizes a gain equal to the amount of the premium originally received. When a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium originally received when the option was sold/written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a call option is exercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the amount of the premium originally received. When a put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security the Fund purchased upon exercise. The Funds will only write covered options.
The Funds may purchase put and call options that are traded on foreign as well as U.S. exchanges and in the over-the-counter market. Each Fund may utilize up to 5% of its total assets to purchase both put and call options on portfolio securities. Purchases of put and call options are recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market at each valuation date. When a purchased option expires, no

proceeds will be expected and a Fund will realize a loss. When a Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When a Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.
Each Fund, except the Total Return Bond Fund, may purchase and sell call and put options on stock indices. In contrast to an option on a security, an option on a stock index provides the holder with the right but not the obligation to make or receive a cash settlement upon exercise of the option, rather than the right to purchase or sell a security. The amount of this settlement is equal to (i) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a call) or is below (in the case of a put) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (ii) a fixed “index multiplier.”
A Fund’s risks in using these contracts include changes in the value of the underlying instruments, non-performance of the counterparties under the contracts’ terms and changes in the liquidity of the secondary market for the contracts.

i) Swaps: The Funds may enter into interest rate, currency, index, total return and credit default swaps. The Funds expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of their portfolio, to protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Funds anticipate purchasing at a later date. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, for example, an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them and an index swap is an agreement to swap cash flows on a notional amount based on changes in the values of the reference indices. A total return swap is an agreement to exchange the return on a stock, bond or index for a fixed or variable financing charge. A credit default swap is an agreement between two counterparties that allows one counterparty to be “long” a third-party credit risk, and the other counterparty to be “short” the credit risk. Credit default swaps are designed to transfer the credit exposure of fixed income products between parties.
The Funds will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, that is, the two payment streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. In as much as these swaps are entered into for good faith hedging purposes, the investment adviser believes such obligations do not constitute senior securities under the 1940 Act, and, accordingly, will not treat them as being subject to its borrowing restrictions. The Funds will not enter into any swap transaction unless, at the time of entering into such transaction, the unsecured long-term debt of the counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least A by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) or Moody’s or has an equivalent rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by the investment adviser. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Funds may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction.
Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Asset and
Artio Global Funds ï 2009 Semi-Annual Report
151
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in the value of the index or securities underlying the agreement.

T – The Fund entered into this contract for speculative purposes.
| | |
(1) | | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
|
(2) | | The maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer if credit event as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
|
(3) | | The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreements. |
j) Securities lending: Global Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, International Equity Fund II, U.S. Microcap Fund, U.S. Smallcap Fund, U.S. Midcap Fund and U.S. Multicap Fund have established securities lending agreements with State Street Bank and Trust Company in which the Funds lend portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. These Funds may loan securities to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions determined by Artio Global Management LLC (formerly Julius Baer Investment Management LLC, (“Artio Global Management” or “Adviser”) to be creditworthy, subject to certain limitations. Under these agreements, these Funds continue to earn income on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and such Funds invest the cash in U.S. Treasury Bills. These Funds receive any interest on the amount invested, but they must also pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. In the event of counterparty default, these Funds are subject to potential loss if any such Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. These Funds each bear risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on the loans.

At a meeting of the Boards of the Funds on April 15, 2009, the Boards approved the reinstatement of the Funds’ securities lending program. The Boards had previously suspended the securities lending program on December 17, 2008. As of April 30, 2009, there were no securities on loan.
The security lending income net of the loan rebate fee for Global Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, International Equity Fund II, U.S. Microcap Fund, U.S. Smallcap Fund, U.S. Midcap Fund and U.S. Multicap Fund amounted to $34,181, $2,755,381, $1,789,683, $256, $64, $48 and $39, respectively, for the period ended April 30, 2009 and is included in securities lending income in the statement of operations.
k) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes amortization and accretion of bond premiums and discounts, respectively, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded in the statement of operations on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund becomes aware of the dividend distribution in the case of certain foreign securities. It is expected that certain capital gains earned by the Funds and certain dividends and interest received by the Funds will be subject to foreign withholding taxes.
l) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund intends to distribute annually to its shareholders substantially all of its taxable income. Total Return Bond Fund and Global High Income Fund declare and pay dividends monthly. International Equity Fund, International Equity Fund II, Global Equity Fund, U.S. Microcap Fund, U.S. Smallcap Fund, U.S. Midcap Fund and U.S. Multicap Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, annually. The Funds will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Additional distributions of net investment income and capital gains may be made at the discretion of the Boards of the Funds to avoid the application of the excise tax imposed under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for certain undistributed amounts. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Funds, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Funds as a whole.
m) Federal income taxes: The Global Equity Fund and the Trust intend that each Fund separately qualify as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income

tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds do not anticipate that any income taxes will be paid.
The Funds have adopted FIN 48 and it has been determined that there is no impact on the financial statements for the open tax years of 2008 through 2006. The Fund’s income and excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal, Massachusetts and Delaware revenue authorities.

Any such recoupment must be made within three years after the year in which the Adviser incurred the expense.

amounts were recorded by each of the funds as realized gain on the Statement of Operations.
During the period, the Fund announced that due to an accounting error in one of the positions held within the Artio International Equity Fund, the NAV for this Fund was restated and shareholder activity would be reprocessed for the period commencing October 9, 2008 through November 20, 2008 (“Reprocessing Period”).
As of October 31, 2008, this error represented an overstatement of $0.15 per share for each share class, which was the equivalent of 0.61% of the NAV for Class A and 0.61% for Class I. As a result, in accordance with the Funds’ Valuation Policy, shareholder purchases and redemptions between these dates were repossessed.
To minimize the inconvenience to its shareholders, the Fund and or its Agents may whenever possible adjust the underlying shareholder’s current positions in the Fund rather than have the shareholder physically return such monies. As detailed in a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Agreement”), to date, the Fund’s Custodian has reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $3,345,270.
Additionally, the Global Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund II had invested a portion of their respective assets in the same position, but over a shorter time period. As a result, the accounting error did not require either the Global Equity Fund or International Equity Fund II to restate its NAV or reprocess the shareholder activity. Under the Agreement the Global Equity and the International Equity Fund II were reimbursed $57 and $69,813, respectively.
The Funds entered into expense offset arrangements as part of their custody agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). Under this agreement, the custody fees for the Global Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, International Equity Fund II, and Global High Income Fund were reduced by $1,277, $3,637,539, $1,647,206, and $12,314 respectively, for the six month period ended April 30, 2009. These amounts may vary significantly over time, based on the Adviser’s decisions and current interest rates from market to market regarding cash positions held in the Funds.

4. | Distribution and Shareholder Services Plans |
The Funds have adopted certain Distribution and Shareholder Services Plans (collectively the “Plans”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plans each Fund’s Class A shares may compensate certain financial institutions, including the Distributor, for certain distribution, shareholder servicing, administrative and accounting services. The Funds Class A shares may expend an aggregate

amount, on an annual basis, not to exceed 0.25% of the value of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to Class A shares. The Adviser may pay additional marketing and other distribution costs out of its profits.
Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar” or “Distributor”) is the Distributor of the Funds’ shares.
Under their terms, the Funds’ Plans shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of the Boards’ members and a majority of those Boards’ members who are not “interested persons” of the Funds and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plans or in any agreement related to the Plans.
The International Equity Fund is closed to new shareholders (at the account level), as a result, all 12b-1 payments made by the International Equity Fund are only to compensate certain financial intermediaries for shareholder servicing and/or asset retention.

10. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for, their effect on the Funds’ financial position, performance and cash flows and how and why the Funds use derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

The Boards discussed the written materials and the Adviser’s presentations and deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information.
