SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc., Julius Baer International Equity Fund, Julius Baer International Equity Fund II, Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund or Julius Baer Global High Yield Bond Fund, 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 Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc., Julius Baer International Equity Fund, Julius Baer International Equity Fund II, Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund or Julius Baer Global High Yield Bond Fund 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, 2005 to April 30, 2006.
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 a Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the funds 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
The Julius Baer Funds consist of the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc. ("Global Equity Fund") and the Julius Baer Investment Funds (the "Trust"). As of April 30, 2006, the Julius Baer Funds consisted of five 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 delisted from the New York Stock Exchange 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 and a new investment adviser (an affiliate of the closed-end Fund's adviser).
The Trust is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2006, the Trust offered four investment funds: Julius Baer International Equity Fund (the "International Equity Fund"), Julius Baer International Equity Fund II (the "International Equity Fund II"), Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund (the "Total Return Bond Fund"), and Julius Baer Global High Yield Bond Fund (the "High Yield Bond Fund"). The International Equity Fund II commenced operations on May 4, 2005.
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 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 Fund offers two share classes, Class A and Class I. The two classes of shares are offered to different types of investors and have different expense structures, as outlined in the Funds' Prospectus. 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. Class I shares commenced operations on March 14, 2005 for the Global Equity Fund.
The Global Equity Fund's investment objective is to maximize total return through capital appreciation. The International Equity Fund's investment objective is long-term
Julius Baer Funds 2006 Semi-Annual Report
107
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
growth of capital from primarily investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of foreign issuers of all sizes. The International Equity Fund II investment objective is long term growth of capital primarily investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, convertible securities and preferred stocks of foreign issuers focusing on mid to large capitalization companies. The Total Return Bond Fund's investment objective is to provide total return by investing in a non-diversified portfolio of high quality fixed income securities of governmental, supranational and corporate issuers denominated in various currencies, including United States (U.S.) dollars. The High Yield Bond Fund's investment objective is to maximize total return, principally through a high level of current income, and secondarily through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of below investment grade, fixed income securities (commonly known a s "junk bonds") of issues located throughout the world.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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: Each Fund's investments are valued at market. 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. Portfolio securities which are traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that when a significant event subsequent to that time 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, t he Trust's Board of Trustees (each "Board" and collectively, the "Boards") or their respective delegates. Debt securities (other than government securities and short-term obligations) are valued by independent pricing services approved by the respective Board. 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 approved by the respective Board.
Julius Baer Funds 2006 Semi-Annual Report
108
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 and warrants, a fair value price may be determined using an industry accepted modeling tool. In addition, the Funds' Pricing Committees may determine the fair value price 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.
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 obligation of 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 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 i s 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.
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 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
Julius Baer Funds 2006 Semi-Annual Report
109
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
to fluctuations in exchange rates between the purchase trade 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 the Funds 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 the 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 advisor. With respect to a Fund's obligations to purchase or sell currencies under forward foreign currency contracts, a Fund will either deposit with its custodian in a segregated account cash or other 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.
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 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.
e) 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 future contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
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 agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily flucation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are know as "variation margin" and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses.
Julius Baer Funds 2006 Semi-Annual Report
110
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and 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. (see Note 11 for outstanding futures contracts at April 30, 2006)
f) Options: The Funds may write options to generate current income to manage investment risk. Each Fund may write put and call options on up to 25% of the net asset 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 th e 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 which that Fund purchased upon exercise. The Funds will write only 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 2% of its 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.
The International Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund II, the High Yield Bond Fund and the Global Equity Fund may purchase and sell call and put options on stock indices. A Fund's possible loss, in either case will be limited to the premium paid for the option, plus related transaction costs. In contrast to an option on a security, an option on a stock index provides the holder with the right but not the
Julius Baer Funds 2006 Semi-Annual Report
111
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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."
The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid. The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund may forego the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. There is also the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the transaction are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.
g) 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 its 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 s wap 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. Inasmuch 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
Julius Baer Funds 2006 Semi-Annual Report
112
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 S&P or Moody's or has an equivalent rating from a 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.
h) Securities Lending: The Global Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund II have established a securities lending agreement with Investors Bank & 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 102% of the market value of the securities on loan. These Funds may loan securities to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions determined by the Adviser to be creditworthy, subject to certain limitations. Under the agreement, these Funds continue to earn income on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and such Funds invest the cash and receive any interest on the amount invested, but it must also pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the c ollateral 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.
i) 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 effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded in the statement of operations on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund becomes aware of dividend distribution. 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.
j) 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. The Total Return Bond Fund and the High Yield Bond Fund declare and pay monthly dividends. The International Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund II and the Global Equity Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, annually. The Funds will distribute net

113
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
realized capital gains, if any, annually. Additional distributions of net investment income and capital gains may be made at the discretion of the Board 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.
k) 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.
2. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions
Julius Baer Investment Management LLC ("JBIM" or "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser. The Global Equity Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets. Effective April 1, 2005, the International Equity Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% for the first $7.5 billion dollars of average daily next assets, 0.88% for the next $2.5 billion dollars of average daily net assets and 0.85% for average daily net assets over $10.0 billion dollars.

7. 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.

In determining whether to approve the Agreements, the Boards, including all of the Independent Members, reviewed and considered the materials presented at the December 14, 2005 meeting of the Boards, and a financial forecast for the fiscal year ended 2006. The Members discussed the written materials, the Adviser's presentations and deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information. In their deliberations, the Members did not identify any single piece of information that was all important or controlling but gave significant weight to the relative investment performance of the Funds along with consideration of the other relevant factors.
The Boards, including all of the Independent Members, reached the following conclusions, among others, regarding the Adviser and the respective approvals: the Adviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to manage the Funds; the Boards are satisfied with the quality of service provided by the Adviser in advising the Funds; the proposed management/advisory fees for each Fund are reasonable as compared to the median and the average fees paid by comparable funds in their respective peer groups; the proposed total annual portfolio operating expenses to be paid by the Funds are reasonable as compared to the median and average expenses paid by comparable funds in each Fund's respective peer group; the performance of the Funds is reasonable in comparison with each Fund's respective benchmark indices and other mutual funds in its peer group; the expected profit of the Adviser for advisory services, based on the proposed fees, seem s reasonable based on the data provided; and the benefits derived by the

At a meeting on April 5, 2006, the Board again met to consider extending the termination date of the advisory agreement from December 2006 to April 2007.

The Board approved extending the termination date of the agreement to April 2007.
Based upon the Boards' deliberations and evaluation of the information described above, the Members, including all of the Independent Members, determined that the renewal terms of each of the Agreements were fair to, and in the best interests of, each of the respective Funds and its shareholders.
