SHAREHOLDERS LETTER October 31, 2007
December 7, 2007
Dear Shareholder
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the Julius Baer Funds (the "Funds") for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007 (the "Reporting Period").
While the Reporting Period ended with many major world indices advancing significantly, financial markets faced several major hurdles. The most notable was the subprime mortgage crisis. For the last several years, economists warned that the "housing bubble" was due to burst. Despite these admonishments, homeowners qualified for loans which they ordinarily would not have been granted and in turn, refinanced their properties to fuel further consumer spending. When housing prices began to tumble, many homeowners could not meet the necessary payments. The sharp rise in foreclosures led to a chain reaction of corporate write-offs and bankruptcies. Not surprisingly, the major lending institutions' stock prices were severely punished. As investors attempted to reassess their risk exposure, the fixed income, equity and derivative markets became increasingly volatile.
Fortunately, the Funds did not have any material exposure to subprime investments and weathered the market meltdown. During the Reporting Period, most of our Funds had solid performance results (see each fund's commentary) and all experienced positive cash flows. Investors continued to be attracted to our International Equity Strategy, with strong growth in the Julius Baer International Equity Fund II ("International Equity Fund II") over the Reporting Period. Additionally, our fixed income products gained more traction. The Julius Baer Global High Income Fund ("Global High Income Fund") will soon reach its 5-year track record. For the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007, the Global High Income Fund Class A shares again received a 5-star overall rating from Morningstar out of 454 US domiciled high yield bond funds. The Julius Baer International Equity Fund Class A shares ("International Equity Fund") and Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund Class A shares ("Total Return Bond Fund") were also rated with a 5-star overall from Morningstar for the same period, out of 571 funds in the foreign large blend funds and 972 funds in the intermediate-term bond funds, respectively. The Morningstar Overall RatingTM for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Ratings metrics, which are based on risk-adjusted performance. Such visibility combined with solid performance helped each fund increase assets significantly over the Reporting Period.
The Funds continue to expand their distribution capacities. In the past, they were available through packaged product platforms such as broker-dealer wrap fee

programs and research models, primarily limiting them to the fee-based financial advisors that use these products. Effective November 1, 2007, we launched a Consultant share class for our global, US equity, and fixed income funds with a higher 12b-1 fee to provide a mechanism for commission-based advisors to create their own asset allocation program for more sophisticated clients. To accommodate some of the small to midsize retirement plans, we also launched an R-share class for the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc. ("Global Equity Fund") and Total Return Bond Fund. The higher 12b-1 fee on this share class is used by plan sponsors to cover administration costs. With the passage of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, there is a significant opportunity to garner assets in the growing defined contribution marketplace. Corporations continue to freeze and close their defined benefit plans, offering employees a 401(k) plan. The provision also al lows employers to automatically enroll their employees and thus dramatically boost plan participation.
Our fund managers reacted to the changing investment landscape by positioning our Funds to be able to invest in both new products and new markets. For example, the Global High Income Fund began investing in bank loans late last year. Over the last several years, the bank loan market has evolved considerably. Bank loans are the most senior element of a firm's capital structure typically secured by the assets of the issuing firm. The use of loans was primarily a defensive tactic that seeks to protect the fund from bankruptcies in a down market; however, the loan market also gives us the ability to gain credit exposure to companies that do not have high yield bonds outstanding. As of the end of the Reporting Period, these instruments represented 19.1% of the Global High Income Fund's net assets.
As I stated in my letter last year, the International Equity Fund, International Equity Fund II and Global Equity Fund increased their potential exposure to emerging markets to 35%. Consequently, we changed each Fund's benchmark to make it more representative of the underlying holdings. The International Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund II now benchmark to MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) ACWI (All Country World Index) ex-US and the Global Equity Fund benchmarks to MSCI ACWI.
In conclusion, I'd like to express our appreciation to you as shareholders for your continued support during these changing times and to wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season.
Sincerely,

Tony Williams
President

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY
JULIUS BAER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND INC.
2007 Annual Report
On many levels, the fiscal year 2007 was one of extremes. Commodities, led by oil, gold and grain saw some of their largest gains in years, supported by China's continued demand (and no foreseeable cessation) for raw materials. The euro surged against the US dollar and investors flocked to US Treasury issues amid subprime concerns.
Extremes were also apparent across global equities with emerging markets far outpacing returns for developed markets. Asia, led by China, outperformed all other regions and in Latin America, Brazil was notably strong given its commodity orientation. Finally, of the larger developed markets, Japan and the United States underperformed.
During this twelve month period ending October 31, 2007, the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund Inc. Class A Shares returned 23.02%, versus 24.19% for the MSCI All Country World Index. Effective March 1, 2007, the MSCI All Country World Index replaced the MSCI World Index as the Fund's benchmark. This change coincided with our ability to invest up to 35% of the portfolio in emerging markets.
From a geographic perspective, the Fund benefited from an underweight position to Japanese and US equities. Within Japan, lack of reforms, poor corporate governance and extended valuations leave little incentive to increase exposure. With regard to our stance in the US, we prefer opportunities within Continental Europe and those emerging markets we believe offer more compelling growth potential.
Our underweight to Asia, specifically South Korea, China and Hong Kong detracted from results as did our underweight to commodity-oriented countries such as Canada and Brazil. For some time, we have referred to the global imbalances, including current account and fiscal deficits, which exist today. Overconsumption within Anglo-Saxon countries, mainly the US, was one of the major imbalance concerns and subprime worries provided the global economy's first real stress-test. As these Anglo-Saxon imbalances began to unfold, Asian markets were the primary beneficiaries.
Our positioning in Central and Eastern Europe, including Russia, benefited returns. Economic growth within the region has been driven more by domestic demand than US consumption growth, providing diversification benefits. Our overweight to India also had a positive impact. While economic growth there was equally impressive as China, India offers an industry mix more focused on services than manufacturing, which we believe leaves the country less susceptible to a global slowdown.

Financial services had a positive effect on performance. Several positions held in emerging market banks were particularly strong, including PKO Bank Polski and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki (Poland), Komercni Banka (Czech Republic), State Bank of India warrants and OTP Bank (Hungary). Our decision to underweight major banks in the United States, the United Kingdom and to a lesser degree Japan proved beneficial given fears of the impact of the subprime debacle. This positioning more than made up for poor performance from E*Trade Financial Group (United States) which was caught up in write-downs related to its mortgage-backed securities. Our defensive allocation to cash equivalents during a strong equity environment detracted. Within the energy sector, our underweight in China had a negative effect as did stock selection in Russia and Romania.
Stock selection was positive in the US healthcare sector. We have been particularly interested in companies benefiting from demographic shifts or capitalizing on baby boomers entering retirement age who want to maintain their active lifestyle. Companies involved in orthopedics is one way to tap into this trend; demand for knee and hip replacements, spinal surgeries and other procedures has been growing. ArthroCare Corp., whose medical devices are used to perform closed joint and cosmetic surgeries, was a positive contributor to results. Additionally, Medco Health Solutions Inc., the country's largest prescription benefits manager, was also a strong performer. These positions offset the underperformance of C.R. Bard Inc., the maker of hernia mesh and heart stents.
Weak performance from NII Holdings Inc. (United States), a vendor of mobile-phone service throughout Latin America, led returns from the telecommunications sector to detract. On a positive note, stock selection as well as our overweight to industrials supported performance. Shares of Stericycle Inc. (United States) which provides regulated medical waste management services had solid results. Additionally as part of our interest in transportation infrastructure, Beijing Capital International Airport Co. Ltd. (China) performed well. Finally, our overweight to and stock selection within consumer discretionary stocks detracted. Specifically, shares of Cheesecake Factory and Nordstrom (United States) as well as Melco PBL Entertainment (Macau) Ltd. ADR exhibited negative performance.
Looking ahead, we continue to find compelling opportunities across emerging markets. Specifically, Central and Eastern Europe including Russia remain an important component of the strategy. In addition, we established positions in South Korea and Taiwan which have become more like developed markets, although they are classified as emerging by MSCI.
Strong demand drove commodity-oriented markets such as Brazil, South Africa, Canada and Australia and during the period we increased our exposure. The UK is also underrepresented, especially given our avoidance to the UK banking sector. We still find transportation infrastructure companies, such as airports, compelling

businesses with attractive franchises (restaurants, duty free shops, etc.) amid an increase in global travel and trade. Construction and cement companies are also well positioned given the increase in infrastructure projects. Luxury goods and spirits companies are expected to continue benefiting from emerging market consumer demand.
As we move into the next fiscal year, we remain focused on uncovering opportunities worldwide and managing the unique risks presented by the global equity markets on behalf of our valued shareholders.

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY
JULIUS BAER INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
JULIUS BAER INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND II
2007 Annual Report
In the middle of this fiscal year, we made a decision to change our benchmark from MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index to MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) (ex-US). Although the difference in the ten-year performance between the two indices is less than 1%, we felt the difference in geographical composition would start to become relevant and the performance would start to diverge in a pronounced manner. The rationale for our move is that MSCI ACWI (ex-US) has substantial exposure to emerging markets (about 18%) and Canada (about 6%) while MSCI EAFE has no exposure to these markets. We believe that these geographic areas can greatly benefit from current US trade policies and the trend in globalization.
Since our benchmark transitioned mid-year, for this report, we will compare our performance to both indices.
The Julius Baer International Equity Fund (Class A Shares) and Julius Baer International Equity Fund II (Class A Shares) had another strong year, up 33.33% and 30.89% respectively for the one year period ending October 31, 2007. During the same period MSCI EAFE gained 24.91%, MSCI ACWI (ex-US) rose 32.43%.
The current subprime debacle seems another pyrrhic victory for sanity in this age of decadence. It is pyrrhic because, like the tech bubble, it lasted longer than a skeptic could remain sane or solvent; decadence because greed apparently continues to blind many of the essential economic agents in our society.
For several years, we have warned about global imbalances driven mainly by excessive US consumption and Asian over-investment. The Anglo Saxons' voracious appetite to consume and their addiction to spend and borrow against asset prices has disproportionately benefited Asia through increased trade and other countries and regions such as Canada, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Africa, and the Middle East from the resulting increase in commodity prices. China has been winning on two fronts: record trade surplus and strong foreign direct investment. These two engines have caused investment in China to grow at an alarming rate (almost 50% of GDP), planting the seeds for a potential investment bubble whose dimension can only be scaled once the global economy slows down or the Anglo Saxons wake up from their malaise and start mending their errant ways of borrow and spend.

While the first shoe of the global imbalance was being dropped, the second one was feverishly bid up by the decoupling and reflation crowd. On one hand we were rewarded for being underweight domestic Anglo Saxon sectors such as UK retailers and banks. On the other hand, we were punished for being underweight the beneficiaries of that boom: Canadian and Australian currencies dramatically shot up in a very short period; many Asian markets, including Hong Kong, rallied more than 40% between mid-August and the end of October. During that time, the rallying cry was that China's growth would not be impeded by the US slowdown. In addition, the Hong Kong market was overwrought on the prospect of a newly suggested law that may allow Chinese mainlanders to invest in Hong Kong.
In response, a precautionary move, we selectively increased our exposure to Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. This move did not mean we were advocating that Asian economies could decouple. However, in the short-term, given the huge foreign reserves these countries possess and China's continued spending for the summer 2008 Olympics, we acknowledge the region's capability to engineer a delayed coupling, one that could last long enough to make 2007 and even 2008 pyrrhic years for disbelievers.
In Europe, the decoupling theme also dominated. Sectors and companies with high exposure to Asia were strong and resilient. Those with US or even domestic exposure fared poorly. Given our aversion to global trade we did not benefit from that rally.
It was disheartening to witness many European financial companies prove once again that they are the dumping ground for America's toxic waste. While the insurers were caught during the tech bubble (holding debt from the likes of Enron and WorldCom), this time around it was the banks that seemed to rapaciously amass large sums of subprime collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), both on- and off-balance sheet. French and German banks—that we favored for their domestic exposure—negated that advantage by making investments that were not core to their activities. By doing so, they exposed us to an area we sought to avoid, depriving us of what we believed to be a safe-haven status.
In the aftermath of the subprime crisis, Asia became the darling of the hot money looking for a new home. The region's attractiveness seemed to be the positive short-term visibility it provides: record trade surpluses and the potential decoupling from a US slowdown driven by high spending on infrastructure and uninterrupted demand from China. There are also those who expect the recent interest rate cuts in the US to ignite asset reflation in the region. Finally, additional currency gains are possible as pressure for currency revaluation mounts from the US and Europe.
Three major factors contributed to Western Europe's poor performance during the crisis. First, a strong euro hindered the competitiveness and the margins of the export sector. With Asian central banks staunchly defending their currencies from
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

significant appreciation, the only voting booth open for those who dislike the US dollar is the "euro booth". Second, as mentioned above, many European financial companies were caught in the US subprime mess. Finally, many investors sold European positions to fund their increasing exposure to Asia.
Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East continued to prosper as prices of commodities and oil stayed on an upward trajectory. In addition, trade surpluses, record foreign reserves, and hot money flows put upward pressure on many currencies in these regions.
For similar reasons, the Australian and Canadian dollars staged a rally against the US dollar. Surprisingly, they appreciated approximately 20% against the US dollar this fiscal year. What was also unusual was the drubbing that the US dollar received against third world currencies.
Our underweight in Japan was a positive contributor to performance. During the year, the country's domestic sectors such as banks and consumer related stocks underperformed the exporters, particularly those with significant exposure to Asia and China.
In most global markets, post the subprime crisis, the rally was narrowly focused on Asian decoupling and commodities, while the sell-off centered on the financial sector and the US dollar versus most currencies.
Again this year, actions by corporations, private equity funds, and sovereign wealth funds continued to drive prices of many stocks and sectors: ports, airports and stock exchanges continued to experience interest and bidding from a wide spectrum of investors due to the monopolistic nature of these businesses. Euronext was acquired by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and OMX, the Swedish stock exchange, is scheduled to be taken over by a consortium led by NASDAQ and Bourse Dubai. The consolidation in the Italian banking sector continued as UniCredito Italiano acquired Capitalia and Banca Intesa Sanpaolo bid for Banca Carifirenze. With the recent approach of BHP Billiton to acquire Rio Tinto, the consolidation in the mining sector began to worry the Chinese government. Such a consolidation could mean pricing power for the mines and higher prices for the commodity hungry Chinese economy.
At the company level, we continue to focus on companies that we believe are: exhibiting strong leadership in a growing sector such as FLSmidth, a Danish company that is a global leader in cement plants and a consolidator in the mineral equipment space; undertaking a genuine restructuring such as Siemens in Germany; following a credible growth and expansion strategy such as OTP Bank (Hungary); or a conservative and consistent management sticking to their competence and competitive advantage such as Banca Credem in Italy.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

We continue to favor industries that are monopolistic or oligopolistic in nature such as airports, seaports and stock exchanges. We also prefer industries leveraged to infrastructure spending such as mining and cement and are attracted to the positive dynamic in the agriculture industry with exposure to producers of agriculture chemicals such Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan in Canada. In addition, we like the Indian banking sector due to its low relative valuations and high growth opportunities. Russia is expected to be our favorite country next year as it has lagged many emerging markets despite the cheap valuation and the $90 per barrel oil environment.
At the regional level, we feel strongly about Central and Eastern Europe based on our belief that it offers the best risk and reward tradeoff. We believe that if there is a genuine decoupling investment immune to the expected global imbalance adjustment, it is Central and Eastern Europe, whose fortune is mainly driven by its integration into the European Union. However, the region is currently confronted by its own imbalances. Strong, appreciating currencies accompanied by new money flow ignited consumption for imported goods, spiked inflation and eroded competitiveness. In particular, Romania and the three Baltic states need to rein in inflation and trade imbalances. An adjustment is needed and welcome. Although the current imbalances prevented the region from being what we consider a safe-haven this time, we expect it to be resilient when the second shoe of the global imbalance drops, especially if today's local excesses are largely addres sed.
Looking at the big picture, we believe that the process of correcting the imbalances has begun. As a result, we believe that both the Anglo Saxons and the Asian economies will share the pain of adjustment. Hence, unlike consensus thinking, we remain cautious on China and Asia. The most crucial issue is to understand how this global imbalance will end. We coined this period of imbalance the "Age of Decadence", and now make an attempt to share our thoughts and beliefs about its origin, its unfolding, and its implication on investment.
The Age of Decadence
Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank (the "Fed"), predicted in a recently authored book that we are about to enter a new world: "The Age of Turbulence". That might very well be true. To survive and succeed in such a world it helps to understand the world we are about to exit. Upon reflection it doesn't take long to realize that we were living for more than two decades in the Age of Decadence. This decadence was so prevalent that everyone from the government down to the regular citizen was an accomplice.
During this period we saw America continually make the wrong decisions, lose its industrial might, damage its national balance sheet, and erode the reserve status of its
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
10
currency. We also created structural imbalances and excesses in our economy that led to one bubble then another—the least painful way to contain one bubble is to create another; hence postponing the day of reckoning. In this period, we made useless financiers fly-by-night billionaires, destroyed most American's living standards by depressing their wages and sinking the dollar against most currencies known to man—with few exceptions such as the Zimbabwe dollar. How did we do it?
Decadence started at the top, with the government, and has gone on for more than two decades. The government has, since the early 1980s, rigged the inflation index to artificially depress the cost of living. It has used the flawed method of cash accounting instead of accrual accounting in order to "hide" the albatross of unfunded liabilities and entitlements such as Social Security; spent irresponsibly and accumulated record budget deficits; espoused trade policies responsible for the record deficits; and, damaged to the long-term prospects of the economy—all in an effort to appease the corporate lobby.
The Fed has shirked many of its responsibilities: by allowing asset bubbles to form unfettered; by maintaining ultra-lax monetary policies; by neglecting its regulatory oversight authority; and, by succumbing easily to the faintest political pressure.
The rampant decadence at the top trickled, as expected, all the way to the bottom resulting in two major bubbles while laying the foundation for future ones.
The tech bubble of the 1990's was the first major one. What enabled that bubble to form and fester was the contribution from the referees, the intermediaries and the players to the fertile background laid in by the government. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), under pressure from the US Congress, allowed firms to omit the cost of stock options in their earnings, thereby encouraging manipulation of earnings. Its abuse was a major enabler for the first bubble. Research analysts invented heretic valuation metrics to justify buying those stocks at any price and later some were accused of fraud. Accounting firms let conflicts of interest cloud their judgment, provided suspect audits and in some cases aided the fraud. Corporations were accused of malfeasance, aggressive accounting, abuse of tax loopholes and fraud. Financial entities were found guilty of market timing and predatory pricing. Even the regular citizen was guilty as his internet day-trading fad, leverage, and momentum investing took the mania to extreme.
The second bubble in real estate (especially in the subprime segment) started as soon as the tech bubble began to deflate. Again it was aided by top to bottom decadence, but through different agents. One agent included the Fed, which pursued an ultra-easy monetary policy. Rating agencies are also being accused of conflicts of interest and rendering suspect opinion on many of the structured products created. Appraisers are being sued by state attorneys for inflating home values. Loan originators
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

are being accused of setting weak standards and for pressuring appraisers. Financial innovation was found to be nothing but a mix of concoction, hallucination, and heresy. Banks shocked the market with their lack of risk management, especially in the way the CDO exposure sneaked off balance sheet. Unregulated funds through their opacity and leverage also added to the confusion and the damage. Finally, the individual was a main agent by willingly filling these "liar loans".
Unfortunately, there is no Mother Theresa among us. We were decadent from top to bottom.
The Cardinal Sin: Believing in Santa Claus
If there were one cardinal sin to point to as the main enabler of the Age of Decadence, it would be the overhauling of the inflation index. The high inflation environment from the late 1970s to early 1980s created a vicious cycle for the Federal government because entitlement benefits were indexed to the inflation rate. High inflation led to higher entitlement costs and bigger government deficits.
One way to lower the entitlements was to bring inflation rates down, translating into lower cost of living adjustments (COLA). Instead of inflicting the pain to bring down the inflation rate, the government chose to alter the way it measured inflation, bringing the index artificially down. It replaced house prices with owners' equivalent rent (OER), introduced the concept of product substitution; and reduced prices of goods for quality improvements. Under these rules, the new inflation index was consistently below the old one. For example, under the old method, inflation during the past ten years would have ranged between 8% and 10% while under the new method it ranged between 2% and 4%.
While the artificially low inflation reading aided our fiscal situation, it inflicted fatal blows to our economic policies. With the new index understating inflation by approximately 4%-6% during the past decade, the Fed set interest rates too low and helped create the mirage of high real growth and low inflation which led credence to the theories of "the productivity miracle" and "paradigm shift".
However, history has taught us that the only miracle that comes from easy monetary policies is a bubble in asset prices. Had the inflation methodology been kept intact, inflation readings would have been 4%-6% higher and interest rates would have been correspondingly higher. In such an environment, we would have grown slower during the boom but we would have avoided the bubbles and the ensuing bust. Like the tortoise, we would have beaten the hare through the full economic (boom/bust) cycle.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
12
Directly targeting asset prices has always been political suicide for the Fed. The old inflation index—since it included asset prices—would have allowed the Fed to fight asset bubbles while only targeting inflation.
In short, the government (the parents) invented Santa Claus in order to cheer up pensioners and laborers (the children) who were worried about their parent's ability to pay for their entitlements (gifts). The whole family was happy with Santa Claus. The children were happy with the yearly gifts and parents were satisfied that their children were buying the fairly tale and able to rein in spending. But as in real life, it is a blessing only when children believe in Santa Claus and a tragedy when parents do!
The Fed now conducts its policies based on the new method, ignoring many obvious signs: the 8%-10% reading from the old method, the tech bubble, record trade deficits, record budget deficits, free falling US dollars, skyrocketing commodities, subprime bubble, housing bubble, etc... What a tragedy indeed!
"Turbulence" Ahead But Is It with More Decadence or Do We Experience Renaissance?
The case for renaissance would be based on the assumptions of the government adopting accrual accounting, balance the budget, releasing honest inflation figures, espousing sound trade policies, and curtailing lobbies' influence. It also entails having an independent and proactive Fed that fights inflation and asset bubbles, punishes risky behavior, and resists political pressure.
The probability, therefore, of renaissance is almost zero.
Hence, we anticipate more decadence emboldened by the following rationales:
1. We can't turn back the clock on innovation and globalization. The status quo seems to equate excessive leverage with innovation, trade deficits with globalization, and trade balance with protectionism.
2. We are better off being third in a fast growing world than being first in a slow growing one. Wealth is relative not an absolute. If I have one million dollars but everyone else has one billion then I must be a poor man. In our "fast growing world" the only ones who are better off are Wall Street and multinationals who are "the opium pushers" into the US economy.
3. Our policies are eradicating poverty around the world. This is akin to a surgeon boasting to a dead patient's parents that the surgery was extremely successful, because the donated organs will save many lives.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

4. Blame it on foreign exchange. The proponents of the status quo should continue to divert attention towards foreign exchange (FX) levels as the main culprit to our imbalance. It is the perfect decoy. By the time we figure out that the FX rate is no panacea to our ills, it might be too late to reverse course.
Hence, one should expect more turbulence and bubbles in the new age. We expect the ultimate winners to be real assets, commodities, emerging markets, and equities in general, and the big losers to be fiat currencies: money and bonds.

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY
JULIUS BAER TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND
2007 Annual Report
The Julius Baer Total Return Bond Fund Class A Shares (the "Fund") returned 6.75% for the 12 months ending October 31, 2007, outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 5.38%.
A major source of the Fund's outperformance was our currency positioning. Our belief for most of the period was that the US dollar was in a long-term bear market. In the first few weeks of January 2007, the US dollar experienced a strong rally and it took until the end of March for the Fund's performance to overtake the index. All but one month since that time saw currency positioning contribute to outperformance. August was the exception, when the subprime mortgage driven credit crunch hit financial markets hard. Though we reduced risk before the liquidity crises emerged, it was not enough. Currencies that worked well over the twelve months included the Australian dollar, the euro and the Brazilian real while the Mexican peso was the largest detractor (especially in January).
For much of the fiscal year, the Fund was positioned to spend its duration budget in the US and away from most international markets. Our belief was that many international economies were in better condition than the US. While that is usually a good reason to like a country's currency, it's also likely to result in rates moving higher, which is bad for bondholders.
Of the few international bonds the Fund held during the period, a position in Mexican Bonos was the best performer. In the second calendar quarter of 2007, as rates around the world were rising, Mexican Bonos yields were moving down. One driver of this reduction in yield was a surge in investor optimism due to political cooperation after a contentious election and poor governmental relations between parties during the previous administration. Another contributing factor was a drop in inflation and inflationary expectations. The gain that resulted from this drop in yield was more than enough to offset the currency loss and led to Mexico's overall positive contribution. The Fund's position in a Romanian treasury bill also contributed to performance.
Within the US market, our interest rate positioning detracted from performance, particularly in July and August. When financial markets started to struggle with the liquidity crises, the Fund was positioned for interest rates to continue to increase. However, as yields dropped and markets began to freeze up, our repositioning did not occur fast enough.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

Within the spread sectors, our strategy to underweight US corporate bonds contributed most to outperformance. This positioning was based on the belief that corporate spreads were too tight and given the active leveraged buyout (LBO) market, we could achieve better risk-adjusted returns in other sectors. That stance paid off after the credit crunch unfolded in August and corporate bonds significantly underperformed. We used this spread widening to increase our positioning in the sector and anticipate we will continue to do so in an opportunistic manner.
Outlook
Looking forward, we anticipate the US dollar (USD) will remain in a long-term bear market. Our rationale includes the nation's huge current account deficit, considerable foreign participation in US financial markets, and a dampening in the economic growth advantage that the US enjoyed over the last two decades. It may take several years for such headwinds to USD performance to be resolved. Nonetheless, it is also possible for the USD to undergo a bear market rally that could last two or three quarters. Ultimately, we believe that the USD needs to fall more for the imbalances in the US economy to correct.
One currency that we like is the euro. Even though it is sitting close to its all-time high versus the USD, its importance as a credible replacement to the USD—as the reserve currency of the world—should encourage bidding by market participants as long as the economy of the eurozone keeps growing.
We also favor emerging market currencies because: a majority of them now float freely; fiscal and monetary policies in most emerging market countries are now more credible; and economic growth is likely to be markedly higher than in the developed world. However, we will continue to monitor changes in the political environment and market sentiment for emerging economies, as these countries and their currencies can pose more challenging risks than developed nations.
At the same time, we do not consider international sovereign bonds to be compelling investments. With most of the global economy growing at a decent pace, we think that foreign interest rates are more likely to increase than those in the US or that rates in the US will fall more than those abroad. Hence, our exposure to foreign government bonds is mild.
We do not have a strong opinion on the direction of US interest rates over the near-term. A reasonable case can be made for rates moving higher as well as lower. Given that level of uncertainty, we do not believe it is constructive to have a large duration position versus the benchmark. The yield curve is another matter. We believe that over the next several months the curve will steepen. With the Fed likely to ease interest rates a few more times over the next year, we think that short-term rates
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
16
will trend lower. At the long end of the yield curve, inflation and inflationary expectations exert greater influence. With global growth likely to remain strong, we expect some inflationary pressure in the US over the next year, mostly due to higher commodity prices leading to higher prices throughout the economy. Therefore, it is more probable for interest rates at the short end of the yield curve to go down more or up less than rates at the long end of the curve.
In the domestic spread sectors, after being underweight corporate bonds for almost the entire fiscal year, we built-up our position after the increase in yield spreads that took place during the August and September credit crunch. At this time, we believe there is still value in corporate bonds. However, we continue to be cautious amid investor concern that many financial institutions have not fully disclosed their participation in the various beleaguered housing-related markets. One encouraging facet in the leveraged loan market is the lack of liquidity, because it is less likely that a corporate bond's value will implode due to a leveraged buyout.
Of the structured products in fixed income markets, we favor mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that have either a high coupon or a low one. A MBS with a high coupon—a premium bond—trades at a higher price than a current coupon bond. The price for a high coupon MBS will not rise as much as it would if it were a corporate or treasury bond, given that the prospect of the homeowner prepaying early by refinancing is high. Yet in the current housing market, we do not think premium bonds will experience prepayments at the same level that might have transpired a few years ago. Consequently, we expect these higher coupon bonds to pay higher yields than what the market presumes. At the same time, we also favor lower coupon bonds, as they should perform well if interest rates drop over the next few quarters.
Within the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market, we continue to prefer the super senior structures. Despite a widening in spreads over the last few months, we believe that investors are still not correctly pricing these bonds versus the poorly structured bonds that are also available in the market. As such, we expect to continue choosing these securities until the market addresses the pricing discrepancy.

MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTARY
JULIUS BAER GLOBAL HIGH INCOME FUND
2007 Annual Report
For the twelve months ending October 31, 2007, the Julius Baer Global High Income Fund (Class A Shares) rose 8.58%, beating its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index (in US dollars [USD]) which returned 8.33%.
These returns masked two divergent periods within the fiscal year. During the first eight months (through June 2007), global markets experienced robust performance, capping five years of generally improving prices. This was driven by a healthy global economy centered on GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth in some of the largest emerging markets, strength in US consumer demand, rising corporate earnings, and ample liquidity. In addition, yield spreads over comparable treasuries for our benchmark declined from 3.17% to 2.87% in a generally benign interest rate environment, leading to total returns in USD terms of 6.36%.
However, beginning in the early summer, the persistent declines in US residential real estate prices and sales activity began manifesting itself in rising delinquency rates among subprime mortgage borrowers. Falling housing prices and rising subprime mortgage delinquencies caused several concerns among investors. First, there were (and still are) fears that weakness in this sector would spread to the rest of the US economy via its impact on the consumers' ability to continue spending. Second, there were concerns that the subprime mortgage market excesses would repeat in related markets, including high yield corporate securities which comprise the bulk of the Fund's investments. Finally, beginning in late summer and early fall, the rapidly accelerating decline in the value of subprime debt and related collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) forced many financial institutions to announce substantial write-downs. Banks became less willing to len d to each other in the money markets out of concern over what the actual subprime debt exposure of their counterparties might be as well as a desire to guard their own liquidity.
Beginning in August, the major developed country central banks repeatedly injected reserves into the financial system, including the US Federal Reserve which also cut their benchmark interest rate by fifty basis points on September 18. These actions on the part of policy makers helped stabilize the markets in late September and October, but, by the end of October there was still a great deal of uncertainty and volatility persisted.
During the final four months of the fiscal year, this economic and market backdrop was exacerbated within the high yield bond market by an historically unprecedented surge in the new issuance pipeline. In the highly confident period leading
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
19
up to the summer, many investment banks made large, multi-billion dollar commitments to finance increasingly bigger transactions, most of which were leveraged buy-outs of public and private companies by private equity firms. In our opinion, this over-extension on the part of underwriters is one of the few attributes the subprime and high yield markets share. However, in terms of market structure, diversification, research and pricing practices, we believe the two have far more differences than similarities.
During these final four more challenging months, the US treasury yield curve declined substantially in yield, from 4.92% to 4.17% on the a five year bond, as investors sought the comparative safety of government bonds. In the opposite reaction, yields on high yield bonds expanded from 7.81% to 8.49%. Thus, the spread of high yield bonds to the benchmark treasury widened from the end of June's 2.89% to 4.32% at the end of October. The price depreciation implied by these moves was partially offset by coupon income such that the index total return for these final four months was still a positive, though meager, 1.84%.
Most credit markets followed similar patterns during the twelve month period, exhibiting tightening yield margins over riskless benchmarks and good total returns until June then widening for the final four months and showing considerably lower, though still positive, total returns. Leveraged loan markets moved along with the high yield bond market but turned in better returns for the latter four months of the period. Leveraged loans share some similarities to high yield bonds but differ in several respects, most importantly, they generally carry a more senior claim on assets.
Many non-US markets, whether dollar denominated or not, exhibited less volatility than the US market and turned in significantly better total returns. Emerging market sovereign bonds issued in hard currencies were especially strong, reflecting the issuers improved credit quality since the markets last went through a serious downturn. The local currency markets of emerging countries also performed considerably better than US high yield, both on a local currency and USD basis. The European high yield market, though less volatile, turned in lower returns in local currency terms, as benchmark European government interest rates were rising for much of the period, causing an underlying price erosion. For unhedged dollar investors, however, European high yield still outperformed its US counterpart as the effect of appreciating European currencies against the US dollar offset interest rate and credit related local price declines.
The Fund's performance was aided by several factors, all of which we believe are grounded in our more diversified, global approach to this asset class. First, beginning early in the period, we migrated the portfolio from close to 0% loans to 14% at the end of June. These securities were more defensive in nature and aided
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
20
performance during the more difficult final four months. We executed this change out of relative value considerations, not because we necessarily predicted the turbulence of the June through October period. Second, our continued positioning in local emerging market sovereign debt, which performed better than US high yield debt, helped relative returns, even though our holdings in these markets never exceeded 9% of the portfolio. Finally, and again for relative value reasons, we gradually improved the credit quality of the portfolio between late 2006 and the summer of 2007. We accomplished this by selling out of some bonds whose issuers were particularly highly leveraged or vulnerable from an industry standpoint.
These positive contributions were somewhat offset by other factors. First, partly because of our loan position, the portfolio carried a significantly lower duration for much of the period. As investors sought the safety of government bonds beginning in July and interest rates declined precipitously, this lower duration hurt relative performance. Secondly, although issue selection was positive, there were some specific issues that detracted.
As the Fund enters its sixth fiscal year, high yield securities are generally at the highest yield and exhibit the highest premium over treasuries since late 2003. There are many uncertainties in the global economy and financial markets. However, we believe that current levels on high yield securities discount all but the direst scenarios. For the first time in many years the "premium" is back into the risk premia and investors are being paid to take risks, provided they take a longer-term view, greater than the next month or the next few quarters. There is no guarantee that these yields will ultimately prove high enough to compensate for what the future may bring, but we believe our more diversified approach, combined with our investment discipline, should continue to help us navigate these markets successfully.

2007 Annual Report
Equity Market Commentary
The twelve months ended October 31, 2007 was characterized by the return of share price volatility. It's difficult to recall a period with so many twists and turns led by repeating bouts of optimism and pessimism. Investors had many challenges to overcome throughout the year including the ongoing military effort in and around Iraq; a significant deterioration in the U.S. housing market in terms of oversupply and reduced purchases; the falling U.S. dollar; subprime credit concerns that paralyzed credit markets resulting in a sharp slowdown in merger and acquisition activity as well as surprisingly large financial sector write-downs; and, lower consumer spending growth rates toward the end of the year.
Despite these challenges, the U.S equity market saw a favorable environment in terms of capital formation underscored by a vibrant initial public offering market, decent job growth and manageable inflation levels. Performance leaders were dominated by the energy and materials sectors, which benefited from positive global demand. These two sectors led across the market capitalization spectrum, topping the Russell 2000 Index as well as the S&P 500 Index.
The past fiscal year saw small cap stocks cede leadership to their large counterparts for the first time since 2000 with the S&P 500 posting a gain of 14.56%, outpacing the Russell 2000's return of 9.29%. Earnings growth rates fell across the board during the period, but the rate of decline was greater for smaller companies. Sectors that lagged were financial services, the only sector that posted an absolute decline during the year, and consumer discretionary.
Portfolio Strategy and Investment Focus Areas
We manage concentrated portfolios and diversify our investment positions across multiple sectors. We believe our value added is from thoroughly researching and selecting stocks that seek to outperform the broader market. Our goal is to identify emerging growth companies and turn-around situations early on. Our dedicated analyst team has unique sector responsibilities which allow them to become experts of their respective sector's industries and individual companies.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

In terms of strategy, we are not interested in constructing portfolios that satisfy a certain style box category, i.e. smallcap growth—our goal is for each fund to outperform the U.S. market and all the various style boxes over a complete market cycle. We believe style investing limits a portfolio team to a narrower investment universe and prohibits any significant participation in anticipatory shifts in the markets' proclivity for certain types of risks or exposure. Our sector weights incorporate macroeconomic as well as fundamental, company-specific analysis. While we normally have fairly even representation across all sectors, from time-to-time we consciously overweight or underweight sectors. Nevertheless, sector allocation is generally a smaller, secondary factor with regard to our r elative returns—stock selection is the most important.
As the year progressed, we increased exposure to the technology sector, reflecting a favorable corporate spending environment and solid purchasing power based on many companies' record cash levels as a percentage of assets. As credit markets came under pressure during the summer, we reduced our weighting in the financial services sector and added to our industrials exposure. We felt it was difficult to assess the potential risks and exposure by many financial companies and the market would re-price the risk to reflect this uncertainty in the form of lower price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiple valuations. A second and more obvious indicator was falling loan demand due to a weakening housing market—diminished demand for mortgages was due to buyers not stepping up to purchase because home prices were declining. In summary, most banks were writing fewer loans, while at the same time, a small but increasing number of loans on their bo oks were becoming delinquent—both factors adversely impacting earnings prospects. As we ended the fiscal year, we had overweight positions in the consumer discretionary sector and small underweight positions in the energy and materials sectors. We also were overweight the healthcare sector based on the fact that we like the long-term demographic theme of aging and the demand it will create for healthcare and financial services such as aesthetics and asset management. Late in the period, we began to selectively add to our financial services exposure.
Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund
For the period of November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007 the Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund (Class A Shares) returned 12.43%, ahead of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, return of 9.29% as well as the Russell Microcap Index gain of 5.05%.
Outperformance versus the Russell 2000 and Russell Microcap Indexes was driven by our stock selection. In particular, consumer staples and healthcare holdings did well, more than offsetting unfavorable relative stock results in the technology and financial services sectors. Our best contributors to returns included Green

Mountain Coffee Roasters, Abaxis Inc. and Measurement Specialties, Inc.; the largest detractors included Jones Soda Co., Evercore Partners, Inc. and Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida. Our sector positioning had a modest negative impact. The Fund finished the fiscal year overweight in the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors and underweight in the financial services and industrials sectors.
Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, the Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund (Class A Shares) returned 29.44%, surpassing the Russell 2000 Index return of 9.29%.
The Fund's relative outperformance can be attributed to strong results within the consumer discretionary and technology sectors, which more than offset weak performance within the materials and financial services sectors. Our best contributors to returns included Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Morningstar, Inc. and Ventana Medical Systems Inc.; the largest detractors included Palomar Medical Technologies Inc., Privatebancorp Inc. and Evercore Partners Inc. Our sector positioning had a modest negative impact. The Fund ended the period under review overweight in the technology, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors and underweight in the industrials and financial services sectors.
Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund
The Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund (Class A Shares) returned 17.16%, above the Russell Midcap Index return of 15.37%, for the twelve months ending October 31, 2007.
Outperformance versus the Russell Midcap benchmark was driven by stock selection, particularly our technology, consumer discretionary and healthcare holdings. This more than offset unfavorable results in the materials, energy and financial services sectors. Our largest contributors included VMware Inc., Express Scripts, Inc. and Wynn Resorts Ltd. while the largest detractors included E*TRADE Financial Corp., Qlogic Inc. and Melco PBL Entertainment Ltd. Our sector positioning had a relatively large negative effect, mainly due to low representation of materials, energy and utilities holdings in the portfolio. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund was overweight the technology and healthcare sectors and underweight the financial services and utilities sectors.
Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund
For the period of November 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007 the Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund (Class A Shares) returned 17.47%, ahead of the Russell 3000 Index's return of 14.59%.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
25
Relative outperformance versus the Russell 3000 benchmark was driven by stock selection, an overweight technology sector position and an underweight financial services sector position. In particular, our technology and healthcare sector holdings did well, more than offsetting unfavorable stock performance in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors. Our best contributors to returns included Apple Inc., VMware Inc. and ArthroCare Inc. while the largest detractors included E*TRADE Financial Corp., Qlogic, Inc. and Akamai Technologies Inc. Overall sector positioning had a positive impact to annual performance and the Fund finished the fiscal year overweight the technology and healthcare sectors and underweight the energy and consumer staples sectors.
Outlook
Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, fears of a potential U.S. recession intensified. Questions about how the continued soft housing market and hard-to-quantify exposure financial institutions had to subprime loans via lending or investments and SIVs (structured investment vehicles) may spill over and impact "Main Street" were a concern. The falling value of U.S. dollar versus other major world currencies was also on people's mind because it erodes purchasing power. However, the tradeoff is that U.S. exports are competitively priced in the market place, satisfying strong demand from Europe, China and India. While much was written about investment opportunities in China, I offer one simple thought: it is estimated that the number of middle class Chinese will soon be six-to-eight times larger than the U.S. While a Western influence on their economy is readily apparent by the success of some largecap, multinational companies that invested early there, the long-term opportunity is probably much greater.
From a short-term perspective, we believe that U.S. economic growth will slow in the coming year due to the leverage effect that consumer spending has on U.S. gross domestic product. Since the end of World War II, consumer spending remained fairly steady, between 60% and 65% of gross domestic product (GDP). The combination of low interest rates and easy credit likely caused consumer spending to peak at over 70% of GDP in the last few years. However, housing price declines slowed the rate of housing turnover and associated spending. In addition, rising default rates and greater credit losses should result in higher lending standards, ultimately reducing the pool of potential borrowers and the aggregate demand for mortgages. One of our major concerns is the health of the job market. Any protracted economic slowdown may slow job creation and increase the unemployment rate, both of which could negatively impact consumer confidence and hurt consu mer spending. If consumer spending slows for several quarters, investment or capital spending by businesses will likely decline in the future, resulting in a one-two punch to domestic economic
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
26
growth. While we feel the strong housing and related industries helped our economy in terms of incremental growth during the early part of this decade, we believe the pendulum is swinging back and they will be a drag on our economy until 2009.
For 2008, a potentially slower economy and uncertainty regarding the outcome of the presidential election should create an interesting investment backdrop. Presidential elections generally create questions around the potential for change to tax and healthcare policies, so our goal is to be prepared to capitalize on any opportunities that surface. Our mantra is to be early in uncovering and investing in companies that we believe will improve their operating results and/or grow their sales and earnings in good or bad economic times. While a slowing economy will almost certainly reduce investor confidence, we do our best to capitalize where and when we see opportunities. Over the years, we learned that investors overreact with both optimism and pessimism, especially around inflection and/or turning points that have some substantive impact to the economy. A relevant, current example may be housing, financial services and consumer discretionary s tocks. All three benefited greatly during the favorable upswing in the housing market in the early part of this decade but struggled this year. We feel the pessimism may be close to a climax, so we are investigating these and other opportunities as we write this.
We take some solace in knowing that historically, the economy grows approximately 85% of the time and is in recession the remaining 15%. There have been twelve recessions since the Great Depression, with an average duration of 10.4 months. The average expansion period since World War II, including the current one, has lasted 58.3 months. As we construct our portfolios, we strongly believe that the most successful businesses are ones that create products and services that change the habits of consumers and business spenders, irrespective of the economy. Many of these companies will be smaller in size with the ability to prosper and outperform irrespective of the headwinds that develop in every economic cycle.
It is our duty to shareholders to capitalize on the opportunities that will undoubtedly present themselves as we reconcile the U.S. and global economic crosscurrents and we consider it a privilege to act as your Fund manager.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
As a stockholder of the Julius Baer Global Equity Fund or a shareholder of Julius Baer 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 May 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007.
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.

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.

Inc. vs. MSCI All Country World Index and MSCI World Index (in U.S. dollars)
July 1, 2004-October 31, 2007†

† Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested on July 1, 2004 assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions through October 31, 2007. No adjustment has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or cap gains distributions. The MSCI All Country World Index ("MSCI ACWI") is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. As of June 2006, the MSCI ACWI consisted of 48 developed and emerging market country indices. The MSCI ACWI contemplates emerging market securities, which have become a significant part of the Fund's holdings. The MSCI World Index is a market capitalization weighted index composed of companies representative of the market structure of developed and emerging market countries in the Americas, Europe/Middle East and Asia/Pacific regions.
(1) On July 1, 2004, the Fund changed its name from The European Warrant Fund, Inc. and converted from a close-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 closed-end Fund's adviser). 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 informat ion for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Fund's common stock while it was a closed-end fund.
(2) Effective March 1, 2007, the index was changed to the MSCI All Country World Index.
Note: All figures cited here and on the following pages represent past performance of the Global Equity Fund, Inc., and do not guarantee future results.

Growth of $10,000 invested in Class A shares of Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund vs. Morgan Stanley EAFE Index July 24, 2006-October 31, 2007†

† Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested on July 24, 2006 assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions through October 31, 2007. This period was one in which stock and bond prices fluctuated and the results should not be considered as a representation of dividend income or capital gain or loss which may be realized from an investment in the U.S. Multicap Fund today. No adjustment has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains distributions.

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
1. Organization
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 October 31, 2007, the Julius Baer Funds comprised 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 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 advisor (an affiliate of the closed-end Fund's advisor). Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the 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 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 s hares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the 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 October 31, 2007, the Trust offered eight 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"), Julius Baer Global High Income Fund (the "Global High Income Fund"), Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund (the "U.S. Microcap Fund"), Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund (the "U.S. Smallcap Fund"), Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund (the "U.S. Midcap Fund") and Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund (the "U.S. Multicap Fund"). On July 24, 2006 Julius Baer U.S. Microcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Smallcap Fund, Julius Baer U.S. Midcap Fund and the Julius Baer U.S. Multicap Fund commenced operations.
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
As of October 31, 2007, each Fund offered 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.
Commencing November 1, 2007, some of the Funds will offer Retirement and Consultant Share Classes. (See Subsequent Events in Note 13).
Each Fund has distinct investment objectives. The following are the objectives for the Funds that are covered in this report:
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: 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 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 Bo ard 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 Board of each respective Fund. 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. To the extent each 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 a fair value pricing method is necessary. In such circumstances, the Boards have also approved
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
193
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
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 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 advisor 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 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
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
194
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 advisor. 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.
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.
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 at 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
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
195
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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) 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. To the extent fluctuations in value are not settled with the counterparty on a daily basis, the Fund is 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 listed 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 (see Note 11 for outstanding futures contracts at October 31, 2007).
The Funds may also enter into swap contracts that function similar to futures contracts (synthetic futures) to gain exposure to or protect against changes in security values. Generally these contracts are counterparty agreements, do not require daily variation margin payments, and, as such, 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.
f) 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 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
Julius Baer Funds 2007 Annual Report
196
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 which that Fund purchased upon exercise. The Funds will write only covered options. There wer e no written options at year ended, October 31, 2007.
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. There were no purchased options for the year ended October 31, 2007.
All the funds 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. When a Fund

writes an option, the amount of the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized loss. When an option is exercised, the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or the cost basis of the securities purchased is adjusted by the original premium received or paid.
g) Swaps: The Funds may enter into interest rate, currency, index, total return and credit default swaps. These 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 advisor 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 NRSRO or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by the investment advisor. 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 Liabilities. Such risk 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.

h) Securities Lending: The Global Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund II, the U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the U.S. Multicap Fund have established securities lending agreements with State Street Bank and Trust Company under 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 the Julius Baer Investment Management LLC ("JBIM" or "Advisor") 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 inve st the cash in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio and 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.
In the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio, the security lending income net of the loan rebate fee for the Global Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund II amounted to $24,852, $21,520,253, and $6,010,802, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2007 and is included in interest income in the statement of operations. The U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the U.S. Multicap Fund did not participate in securities lending during the year ended October 31, 2007.
As of October 31, 2007, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral amounted to approximately the following amounts:
| | Market Value of Securities Loaned | | Value of Collateral | |
Global Equity Fund | | $ | 10,408,426 | | | $ | 10,713,067 | | |
International Equity Fund | | | 926,438,950 | | | | 970,162,722 | | |
International Equity Fund II | | | 392,912,596 | | | | 410,296,502 | | |

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 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 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 Global High Income Fund declare and pay monthly dividends. The International Equity Fund, the International Equity Fund II, the Global Equity Fund, the U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the 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 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.
l) 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

202
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 one unfunded commitment which amounted to $144,966 and had a market value of $7,339 at October 31, 2007.
3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions
JBIM serves as the Funds' investment advisor. The Global Equity Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets. The International Equity Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the first $7.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.88% of the next $2.5 billion of average daily net assets and 0.85% of average daily net assets over $10 billion. The International Equity II Fund paid JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets for the period November 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007. Effective September 1, 2007, the International Equity II Fund pays JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the first $7.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.88% of the next $2.5 billion of average daily net assets and 0.85% of average daily net assets over $10 billion. The Total Return Bond Fund and the Global High Income Fund pay JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 0.45% and 0.75% of average daily net assets, respectively. The U.S. Microcap Fund, the U.S. Smallcap Fund, the U.S. Midcap Fund and the U.S. Multicap Fund pay JBIM a fee at an annual rate of 1.25%, 0.95%, 0.80% and 0.75% of average daily net assets, respectively.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Funds listed in the table below, through February 28, 2008, so that the net operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) based on average net assets are limited (the "Expense Limit") as specified in the table below. Any Fund with a reimbursement plan has agreed to allow the Advisor to recoup expenses reimbursed to each Fund provided that repayment does not cause each of the Fund's annual operating expenses to exceed the Expense Limit. Any such recoupment must be made within three years after the year in which the Advisor incurred the expense. The table below specifies the reimbursement made to each Fund by the Advisor for the year ended October 31, 2007 and the Advisor's potential recoupment as of October 31, 2007.

These amounts may vary significantly over time,

based on the Advisor's decisions and current interest rates from market to market regarding cash positions held in the Funds.
4. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan
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 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 Advisor 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 Directors/Trustees and a majority of those Directors/Trustees 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.
On August 1, 2005, the International Equity Fund closed to new shareholders (at the account level). As a result, all of the 12b-1 payments made by the Fund are only to compensate certain financial institutions for shareholder servicing, administration and accounting and not for additional distributions. As a result, 12b-1 expenses incurred by the Fund may be lower than the 0.25% defined in the Plan.

8. 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 p rices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
9. Federal Tax Information
Permanent book and tax differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains/losses. These include net operating losses not utilized during the current year, commission adjustments, paydown gains and losses, bond premium amortization, foreign currency gains and losses, recharacterized distributions, and adjustments relating to the dispositions of Real Estate Investment Trust and Passive Foreign Investment Company securities. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. Any taxable gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Fund's net assets, results of operations and financial statement disclosures.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. The change to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of FAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management of the Funds does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159,("FAS 159") "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." FAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. FAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 159 will have on the Fund's financial statements.
13. Subsequent Events
New Share Classes

Class R shares are offered exclusively through certain tax-exempt retirement plans. Consultant Class shares are offered primarily through financial advisers, including brokers, and other entities that have a dealer agreement with the Fund's distributor.
Investment Advisory Fee Rate Change
On December 19, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved JBIM's investment advisor fee reduction proposal for the Total Return Bond Fund and the Global High Income Fund. The fee for total Return Bond Fund will change from an annual rate of 0.45% to 0.35% on the average daily net assets.
