SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES (Unaudited)
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 November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account value and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

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 April 30, 2008, 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 Global Equity Fund changed its name from The European Warrant Fund, Inc. and converted from a closed-end, non-diversified investment company ("closed-end fund") to an open-end diversified investment company with a different investment objective, different investment strategies, different management team and a new investment advisor (an affiliate of the Global Equity Fund's adviser). Until the close of business on June 30, 2004, the Global Equity Fund operated as a closed-end fund and its common stock (which then comprised a single share class) was listed on the NYSE. After the close of business on June 30, 2004, all of the common stock was converted into Class A shares of the Global Equity Fund, and the Global Equity Fund began seeking to maximize total return principally through capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of issuers located throughout the world. For periods prior th ereto, all historical performance information for Class A shares reflects the Net Asset Value (NAV) performance of the Global Equity Fund's common stock while it was a closed-end fund.
The Trust is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2008, the Trust offered eight diversified 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").
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
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
168
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
401(k) plans and new plan participants within 401(k) plans that hold positions in the Fund. In addition, existing shareholders may continue to invest.
Each of the Julius Baer Funds offers multiple share classes. As of April 30, 2008, all of the Funds offered Class A and Class I shares. Global Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Global High Income Fund, U.S. Microcap Fund, U.S. Smallcap Fund, U.S. Midcap Fund and U.S. Multicap Fund also offer Consultant Class shares. Consultant Class shares are offered primarily through financial advisers, including brokers, and other entities that have a dealer agreement with the Funds' distributor. Additionally, Global Equity and Total Return Bond Fund offer Class R shares which are offered exclusively through certain tax-exempt retirement plans. The classes of shares are offered to different types of investors and have different expense structures, as outlined in the Funds' Prospectuses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and deprecia tion, and expenses that are not attributable to a specific class are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other expenses are allocated to the respective Fund based on average daily net assets.
Each Fund has distinct investment objectives. 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, principally 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 that when a significant event subsequent to the closing of a foreign exchange is likely to have changed such value, including substantial changes in the values of U.S. markets subsequent to the close of a foreign market. In these circumstances, the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Global Equity Fund 's Board of Directors, the Trust's Board of Trustees (each a "Board" and collectively, the "Boards") or their respective delegates. Debt securities, including bank loans (other than government securities and short-term obligations) are valued by independent pricing services approved by the 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 fair value pricing method is necessary. In such circumstances, the Boards have also approved an
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
170
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
171
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 to sell foreign currency limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts.
Some of the forward foreign currency contracts entered into by the Funds are classified as non-deliverable forwards ("NDF"). NDFs are cash-settled, short-term forward contracts that trade thinly or are denominated in non-convertible foreign currency, where the profit or loss at the time 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 due to the party
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
172
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 Funds are also subject to the credit risk of the counterparty. Cash collateral for futures contracts outstanding may be held by the broker on certain contracts. These amounts are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Cash on deposit for broker.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. The Funds generally agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts (see Note 10 for outstanding futures contracts at April 30, 2008).
The Funds may also enter into swap contracts that function similar to futures contracts (synthetic futures) to gain exposure or protect against changes in security values. Generally these contracts are counterparty agreements and do not require daily variation margin payments to be directly paid to the counterparty, however they do require hard segregation of cash. These amounts are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Cash on deposit for broker. The Funds are exposed to the credit risk of the counterparty in addition to the risks described above. The accounting treatment of such contracts is similar to that described above for standard futures contracts. The Funds disclose synthetic futures with other futures contracts.
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 value of the securities in its portfolio and will realize fees (referred to as "premiums")
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
173
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
for granting the rights evidenced by the options. When a Fund writes a call option or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by that Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market at each valuation date. When a written option expires, that Fund realizes a gain equal to the amount of the premium originally received. When a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium originally received when the option was sold/written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a call option is exercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the amount of the premium originally received. When a put option is exercised, the amount of the premi um originally received will reduce the cost of the security which that Fund purchased upon exercise. The Funds will only write covered options. There were no written options for the six months ended April 30, 2008.
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.
Each Fund, except the Total Return Bond Fund, may purchase and sell call and put options on stock indices. In contrast to an option on a security, an option on a stock index provides the holder with the right but not the obligation to make or receive a cash settlement upon exercise of the option, rather than the right to purchase or sell a security. The amount of this settlement is equal to (i) the amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds (in the case of a call) or is below (in the case of a put) the closing value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (ii) a fixed "index multiplier."
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
174
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 adjuste d by the original premium received or paid.
g) Swaps: The Funds may enter into interest rate, currency, index, total return and credit default swaps. The Funds expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of 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
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
175
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
as being subject to its borrowing restrictions. The Funds will not enter into any swap transaction unless, at the time of entering into such transaction, the unsecured long-term debt of the counterparty, combined with any credit enhancements, is rated at least A by Standard & Poor's (S&P) or Moody's or has an equivalent rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization ("NRSRO") or is determined to be of equivalent credit quality by the investment 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 risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in the value of the index or securities underlying the agreement.
The International Equity Fund and Global High Income Fund engaged in swap transactions during the period ending April 30, 2008.

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 in which the Funds lend portfolio securities to a broker in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the securities on loan. These Funds may loan securities to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions determined by the Julius Baer Investment Management LLC ("JBIM" or "Adviser") to be creditworthy, subject to certain limitations. Under these agreements, these Funds continue to earn income on the securities loaned. Collateral received is generally cash, and such Funds invest the cash in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio. These Funds receive any interest on the amount invested, but they must also pay the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. In the event of counterparty default, these Funds are subject to potential loss if any such Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. These Funds each bear risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet obligations due on the loans.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 $23,947, $8,876,324 and $3,903,036, respectively, for the period ended April 30, 2008 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 six months ended April 30, 2008.
As of April 30, 2008, 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 | | $ | 5,442,440 | | | $ | 5,597,128 | | |
International Equity Fund | | | 2,047,839,754 | | | | 2,164,895,443 | | |
International Equity Fund II | | | 698,979,245 | | | | 739,603,068 | | |
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 Boards of the Funds to avoid the application of the excise tax imposed under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for certain undistributed amounts. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
Julius Baer Funds 2008 Semi-Annual Report
179
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 be of sufficient value to repay the loans taken against it. There may be limited se condary market liquidity for these instruments which could result in volatile pricing for the securities which in turn may affect this Fund's NAV.
The Global High Income Fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. There was no unfunded commitment at April 30, 2008.

During the six month period ending April 30, 2008, the Adviser reimbursed the International Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and the U.S. Microcap Fund for certain security transactions in the amount of $43,445, $134,219 and $9,993. These amounts are recorded by each fund as a realized gain on the Statement of Operations.

The Adviser also reimbursed the International Equity Fund II in the amount of $136,038 for a loss that resulted due to a shareholder transaction. This amount is recorded as a reduction to the cost of shares redeemed on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
The International Equity Fund's purchase of a particular security exceeded the Fund's fundamental restriction of not purchasing more than 10% of the outstanding securities of any class of any one issuer. In addition, the security was purchased by the International Equity Fund from other client accounts. Since the purchase of the security was not in compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, the

Adviser agreed to dispose of the security. Subsequent to the period-end, the Adviser has sold the Fund's entire position and will fully reimburse the Fund for realized losses and expenses totaling $1,261,513, ($39,254 of which has already been paid and is reflected in the $43,445 denoted on the prior page). This will be reflected in the Statement of Operations of the Fund at the fiscal year-end. The Adviser has enhanced its procedures so that similar trades do not occur in the future.
The Funds entered into expense offset arrangements as part of their custody agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"). Under this agreement, the custody fees for the Global Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, International Equity Fund II, Total Return Bond Fund and the Global High Income Fund were reduced by $32,364, $11,356,671, $3,611,878, $3,361 and $28,258 respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2008. 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 Plans and Shareholder Services Plans (collectively the "Plans"), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plans each Fund's Class A, Class R and Consultant Class may compensate certain financial institutions, including the distributor, for certain distribution, shareholder servicing, administrative and accounting services. The Funds Class A, Class R and Consultant Class shares may expend an aggregate amount, on an annual basis, not to exceed 0.25%, 0.75% and 1.00%, respectively of the value of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to Class A, Class R and Consultant Class shares. The Adviser may pay additional marketing and other distribution costs out of its profits.
Quasar Distributors, LLC ("Quasar" or "Distributor") is the Distributor of the Funds' shares.
Under their terms, the Funds' Plans shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of the 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. Line of Credit
On September 28, 2005, Global Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and Global High Income Fund (the "Borrowers") entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with State Street Bank and Trust Company. The Agreement is a $25,000,000 revolving credit facility to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. Total Return Bond Fund and Global High Income Fund may draw up to $10,000,000 and the Global Equity Fund may draw up to $5,000,000. The Borrowers will pay interest on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding at a floating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the State Street Bank and Trust Company an annual commitment fee, in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the credit facility, at the rate of 0.10% per annum on any undrawn on amount. The Global Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and Global High Income Fund did not utilize the Agreement during the six months ended April 30, 2008. As of April 30, 2008, Global Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and Global High Income Fund had unused available balances of $5,000,000, $10,000,000 and $10,000,000 pursuant to the line of credit.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period. FAS 157 is effective fo r financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds' derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for, their effect on the Funds' financial position, performance and cash flows and how and why the funds use derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.
