Dear Shareholders, December 6, 2006 Looking back on the fiscal year that ended October 31, 2006, we were reminded of the famous quotation from Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST: "O Wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world that has such people in't!" "Brave New World" strikes us as a good metaphor for where U.S. investors find themselves today. Early in 2006, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke discussed his own uncertainty about the "conundrum" of why long-term interest rates weren't moving in sync with short-term rates. If Bernanke, a skilled and experienced economist and policymaker, is perplexed about the world today, it is hardly surprising that so many investors are feeling unsettled. More than at any point in recent memory, the data that most of us use to gauge the health or weakness of the economy and the markets offers little clarity. Inflation was a concern, and then it wasn't; the job market was strong statistically, yet people seem concerned about employment; corporate profits have accelerated at a double-digit pace, yet the markets have held back. And overall, Wall Street pundits and U.S. investors spent a good part of the year worrying and waiting for a "Tempest" that never came. One reason for the confusion, in our view, is that today's economic reality reflects an international macro-economy, not just a national one. But there are few metrics to track global data the way the major U.S. indicators track our national economy. A few economists, market mavens, and commentators have begun to grapple with this issue, but until systems can be created that effectively gauge factors such as global inflation or global labor data, U.S. investors may feel like Shakespeare's Miranda, washed up on the shores of an uncharted, potentially dangerous island - with no overarching point of reference and a profound sense of unease. Take inflation. While gas prices soared until the summer, they came down after. Home prices also began to soften, and in some regions of the country, plummet. The earlier increase in both was widely felt by most consumers to be proof of inflation, and for most people, it was. But statistically, it was a different matter. Gasoline prices are not included in so-called "core inflation," and home prices aren't either. Even core inflation is a strange statistic, because nearly one-third of the core index is made up of "owner's equivalent rent" - a component that reflects potential homebuyers who choose to rent during a cooling housing market, while waiting for a more opportune time to buy. As this group grew in the early months of the year, demand for rental units increased, and rents went up. That meant that inflation readings went up as well, largely because home prices didn't! And to add insult to injury, the rise in inflation was triggered by the Fed raising rates - which meant that the very act of increasing interest rates to contain inflation was instead causing it. No wonder there has been such unease. But as in Shakespeare's brave new world, unease sits side by side with opportunity. Today's better companies are much farther ahead in their thinking and planning than most countries and governments - think Prospero and his bag of magic tricks. Because of the imperatives of competition and the demands of the market, they are constantly innovating and changing their business models. In fact, in our view, the best way a modern investor can stay informed is to follow what the better managed com- -2- panies do: ignore trends, and look at investments on a case-by-case corporate basis. (And of course, today's interested investors have a remarkable tool for this research: the Internet. O Brave New World, indeed.) Apart from the ongoing tectonic shifts, 2006 saw a number of milestones nationally and globally. In early October, the Dow Jones Industrial Average(i) broke 12,000 for the first time and showed no signs of retreating. In later October, the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China held the world's largest IPO ever, raising more than $21 billion in its initial public offering, most of it from foreign institutional investors, which was yet one more sign that China has emerged as the second engine of international growth, one which is directly impacting a majority of the dynamic growth companies that we focus on. And spurring the U.S. equity markets to their fall rally was one of the year's most significant developments, when the Federal Open Market Committee decided on August 8th to stop raising interest rates after 17 consecutive hikes dating back to June 2004. For the first half of the year, relentless scrutiny of whether or not the Fed would ever pause was actually obscuring what the better companies were doing, and impeding multiple expansion. To the relief of U.S. pundits, investors, and the equity markets in general, the Fed continued to hold steady at 5.25% for the remainder of the year, and we believe that rates are not likely to rise in the foreseeable future. The fact that the 10-year Treasury, at about 4.5% is trading at the same level it was when the Fed began in 2004, is yet another sign in our view that the global market is determining the economic landscape more than any one central bank - even one as powerful as the Federal Reserve. What has been most surprising this year is how strong corporate earnings have remained; and even though U.S. equity markets have risen they have still lagged earnings. The companies of the S&P 500 Index(ii) have registered earnings growth in the high teens -- not to mention having increased almost 75% over the past five years -- while the S&P 500 itself was up approximately 12% year-to-date through October 31. The major U.S. indices have fared about the same, with the Nasdaq(iii) weaker. The result has been a steady compression of valuations, with the forward multiple for the S&P 500 going from over 18x in 2002 to just over 14x in 2006, a compression of nearly 25%. One other positive for the market occurred just after the end of our fiscal year, namely the fall congressional elections. The uncertainty about the outcome was for a time a headwind, and judging by the upward move of the markets after, investors were apparently relieved by the outcome -- not the victory of the Democrats necessarily, but rather the end of the flurry of debates. Soon enough attention will turn to the presidential election of 2008, but for a while at least, politics will be less of a distraction. As for our outlook for 2007: more of the same. We expect the gap between how the U.S. economy is doing (fine but not spectacular) and how innovative growth companies are doing (extremely well) to continue. We also expect the international economy to benefit U.S. companies that are competing in the global marketplace, even as all of us continue to grapple with the unknowns of the new and evolving landscape. -3- PORTFOLIO MATTERS ALGER SMALLCAP GROWTH INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger SmallCap Growth Institutional Fund provided shareholders with a 20.08% return during the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. This compared favorably to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index(iv), which gained 17.08% during the same period. These favorable returns were the result of very strong stock selection throughout the fiscal year that was only slightly offset by weak sector allocation. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's largest average sector exposures were in Information Technology and Health Care. The Information Technology's average sector weighting of 23.1% has been slightly below the average benchmark weighting of 24.7% and its return has also been below the index's performance. Favorable performers in this sector have included Open Solutions, Inc., WebEx Communications, Inc. and Veritas DGC Inc. On the other hand, the legal investigations into the alleged backdating of corporate options have negatively impacted several technology companies and were a contributing factor to the Fund's subpar stock selection in this sector. The Fund's weighting in Health Care stocks relative to the benchmark remained relatively similar over the course of the year, but strong stock selection was an important contributor to its favorable relative performance. During the fiscal year, the Fund initiated positions in several companies competing in the generic pharmaceutical, medical device, managed care and biotech industries. Strong contributors to overall performance included Illumina, Inc., Hologic Inc. and Myogen, Inc. The Consumer Discretionary sector average weight of 15.0% was in line with the benchmark weight of 15.3%, but its stock performance considerably outperformed the index return. Several specialty and internet retailers were among the stronger performers in this group, including Gymboree Corp., AnnTaylor Stores, Inc. and priceline.com Inc. The Industrials sector had an average weight of 13.4% during the year that represented an underweighting versus the average benchmark weighting of 15.9%. In addition, the Fund's holdings in this sector slightly underperformed the benchmark return, but among the stronger performers were Bucyrus Intl. Inc., Gardner Denver, Inc. and BE Aerospace Inc. The Fund's Energy sector weighting has been somewhat below the benchmark at about 7.1% of Fund assets. However, the Fund's stock selection returns exceeded the index as the primary exposure has generally been in the better performing oil and gas exploration and production companies as well as in the offshore drillers. ALGER MIDCAP GROWTH INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger MidCap Growth Institutional Fund provided shareholders with a 9.47% return during the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. This compared unfavorably to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell MidCap Growth Index(v), which gained 14.51% during the same period. Stock selection was the primary factor most responsible for the underperformance as overall sector allocation was reasonably neutral. The Fund's largest average sector exposure during the year was in Information Technology with an average weighting of 23.0%. This exposure to the tech sector exceeded the average benchmark weighting of 20.5%. Over the course of the year, -4- the weighting in Information Technology was reduced as many of the Fund's holdings either achieved favorable price targets or were sold because the ongoing fundamentals did not meet our expectations. While stock selection fell slightly below the index as earnings shortfalls and the impact of the options backdating investigations negatively impacted several Fund holdings, there were many strong performers including Western Digital, Inc., Garmin, Inc. and Business Objects, S.A. The Fund's next largest average exposure was to the Health Care sector. The sector's average weighting during the year was 17.9%, somewhat above the index exposure of 15.9%; however, the Fund's holdings provided a return that was below the benchmark's return. This sector had both strong contributors to overall performance as well as several negative detractors. Stocks that performed well during the fiscal year included Myogen, Inc., Wellcare Group, Inc. and Cephalon, Inc. Stocks that detracted from overall performance included Tenet Healthcare, Syneron Medical Ltd. and HealthExtras, Inc. The Consumer Discretionary sector had an average sector weight less than the benchmark and stock performance that was considerably below the benchmark. While several stocks in this sector performed well, including Nintendo, Hansen Natural and GameStop, the primary weakness was caused by holdings in XM Satellite Radio and Netflix. The Industrials sector had an average weight of 11.8% during the year that represented a modest underweight versus the average benchmark weighting of 13.7%. The performance of the Fund's holdings in this sector exceeded the benchmark with strong gains posted by Jacobs Engineering, Inc., Roper Industries and Joy Global, Inc. On the other hand, the Fund's exposure to the Energy sector exceeded that of the index and stock performance was also slightly positive, led by Valero Energy, Inc., and Peabody Energy, Inc. ALGER LARGECAP GROWTH INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger LargeCap Growth Institutional Fund posted a positive return of 5.82% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. This compared unfavorably to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index(vi), which gained 10.86% during the same period. The Fund's largest average sector exposure during the year was in Information Technology with an average weighting of 23.7%. This exposure to the tech sector was less than the average benchmark weighting of 25.9%. However, our stock selection in the tech sector was strong during the fiscal year as the Fund's holdings had an average return of 22.4% compared to the benchmark sector return of 9.4%. Among the stocks that performed well were Apple Computer, Google and Cisco Systems. Health Care was the Fund's second largest sector with a 14.0% weight although it was significantly underweighted versus the benchmark weight of 18.8%. The relatively lackluster returns provided by the major pharmaceutical companies weighed heavily on the entire sector although several major biotech and medical device companies performed well. The Fund's stock selection lagged the benchmark as stocks such as Tenet Healthcare, Aetna and Medtronic all provided negative returns during the year. On the other hand, Humana, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson all performed reasonably well. -5- The Consumer Discretionary sector had an average weighting 13.8%, slightly below the benchmark weighting of 14.4%. Further, the Fund's holdings provided a return that was well below the benchmark's return, primarily due to the poor performance of XM Satellite Radio. The overweight position in the Financials sector contributed to the Fund's fiscal year return. During the year, Financials comprised 10.2% of Fund assets compared to a 7.2% weighting in the benchmark. The primary exposure during most of the year was to capital markets participants rather than to the commercial banking industry. Strong performers in this sector included Goldman Sachs, Inc., Bear Stearns, Inc., Merrill Lynch & Company, Inc. and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings, Inc. ALGER CAPITAL APPRECIATION INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger Capital Appreciation Institutional Fund provided shareholders with a 18.71% return during the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. This compared favorably to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index(vii), which gained 11.39% during the same period. These favorable results were achieved because of the combination of allocating assets to the correct sectors as well as strong stock selection. The performance of the Fund's stock picks exceeded those in every one of the major Russell sector groups. During the fiscal year, the Fund's largest average exposure was in the Information Technology sector. This sector accounted for an average of 25.3% of the Fund's assets during the year and was in line with the index weighting of 25.7%. Also, the Fund's technology stock selection exceeded the benchmark's return, 19.1% versus 9.9%. Several stocks importantly contributed to this positive margin including ATI Technologies, Inc. (acquired by Advanced Micro Devices), Google, Inc. and Atheros Communications, Inc. The Fund's underweighted exposure to Health Care stocks was an important contributor to overall performance. The sector's average weighting during the year was well below the index and the Fund's holding performed better than the benchmark's return. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in many aspects of the health care industry including companies in the pharmaceutical, generic drug, medical device, managed care and biotech industries. Strong contributors to overall performance included Myogen, Inc., Gilead Sciences Inc. and Hologic Inc. The Industrials sector had an average weight of 12.0% during the year that represented a moderate underweighting versus the average benchmark weighting of 14.7%. The performance of the Fund's holdings in this sector was much stronger than the benchmark, led by Terex Inc., Caterpillar Inc. and United Technologies. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, the Fund's average sector weight was below that of the benchmark, but its stock performance considerably outperformed the benchmark. Among the stronger performers in this sector were Crocs Inc., Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., and CVS Corp. The Energy sector is not a major component of the Russell 3000 Growth Index, comprising only 4.3% of the benchmark. The Fund's energy exposure was greater than the Index averaging 8.2% over the course of the fiscal year. In addition, the Fund's stock selection returns broadly exceeded the index return as its exposure has been in the -6- oil and gas exploration and production companies as well as in the onshore and offshore drillers. Stocks that were important contributors included Valero Energy Corp., Peabody Energy Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp. ALGER BALANCED INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger Balanced Institutional Fund provided shareholders with a 4.53% return during the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. This compared unfavorably to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which gained 10.86% during the same period. The Fund's largest average sector exposure during the year was in Information Technology with an average weighting of 23.3%. This exposure to the tech sector was less than the average benchmark weighting of 25.9%. However, our stock selection in the tech sector was strong during the fiscal year as the Fund's holdings had an average return of 19.2% compared to the benchmark sector return of 9.4%. Among the stocks that performed well were Apple Computer, Google and Cisco Systems. Health Care was the Fund's second largest sector with a 13.5% weight although it was significantly underweighted versus the benchmark weight of 18.8%. The relatively lackluster returns provided by the major pharmaceutical companies weighed heavily on the entire sector although several major biotech and medical device companies performed well. The Fund's stock selection lagged the benchmark as stocks such as Tenet Healthcare, Aetna and Medtronic all provided negative returns during the year. On the other hand, Humana, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson all performed reasonably well. The Consumer Discretionary sector had an average weighting of 13.4%, somewhat below the benchmark weighting of 14.4%. Further, the Fund's holdings provided a return that was well below the benchmark's return, primarily due to the poor performance of XM Satellite Radio. The overweight position in the Financials sector contributed to the Fund's fiscal year return. During the year, Financials comprised 10.2% of Fund assets compared to a 7.2% weighting in the benchmark. The primary exposure during most of the year was to capital markets participants rather than to the commercial banking industry. Several Fund holdings in this sector were among the stronger performers including Goldman Sachs, Inc., Bear Stearns, Inc., Merrill Lynch & Company, Inc. and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings, Inc. The Fixed Income component of the Institutional Balanced Fund returned 4.63% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006 versus the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index(viii) return of 4.88%. During the course of the year, the Federal Reserve ended its campaign of tighter monetary policy as the economy slowed and signs of rising inflation expectations began to abate. The effect of six 25 basis point increases in the overnight target lending rate over the year caused an inversion in the U.S. Yield Curve as the 2 year Treasury yield rose 32 basis points and longer interest rates remained relatively unchanged. Corporate returns outpaced Treasuries and U.S. Agency returns on the heels of solid balance sheets and a relatively benign interest rate environment. -7- ALGER CORE FIXED-INCOME INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger Core Fixed-Income Institutional Fund returned 2.47% for the 8 months ended October 31, 2006 versus the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index return of 3.50%. During the course of the year, the Federal Reserve ended its campaign of tighter monetary policy as the economy slowed and signs of rising inflation expectations began to abate. The effect of six 25 basis point increases in the overnight target lending rate over the year caused an inversion in the U.S. Yield Curve as 2 year Treasury yields rose 32 basis points and longer interest rates remained relatively unchanged. Corporate returns outpaced Treasuries and U.S. Agency returns on the heels of solid balance sheets and a relatively benign interest rate environment. The Fund was liquidated on November 17, 2006. ALGER TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTIONAL FUND The Alger Technology Institutional Fund returned 0.80% for the 8 months(xi) ended October 31, 2006 versus the Merrill Lynch High Tech 100 Index(xii) return of 1.95%. Like the benchmark the Fund was heavily weighted towards information technology. At an average weight of 89.15% the Fund was underweight to the benchmark and under-performed. Leading detractors included Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc., one of the largest US based flex circuit manufacturers, and Secure Computing Corp., a leading developer of Internet security products. The Fund had minor weightings (less than 7% in total) in the health care, industrials, consumer discretionary, and telecommunications sectors. In each of these sectors the Fund outperformed the benchmark. The Fund was liquidated on November 17, 2006. ALGER GREEN INSTITUTIONAL FUND(ix) The Alger Green Institutional Fund provided shareholders with an 18.88% return during the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. This compared favorably to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which gained 11.39% during the same period. These favorable results were achieved because of the combination of allocating assets to the correct sectors as well as strong stock selection. The performance of the Fund's stock picks exceeded those in every one of the major Russell sector groups. During the fiscal year, the Fund's largest average exposure and most favorable stock selection was in the Information Technology sector. This sector accounted for an average of 27.6% of the Fund's assets during the year and was in line with the index weighting of 25.7%. Also, the Fund's technology stock selection exceeded the benchmark's return, 16.7% versus 9.9%. Several stocks importantly contributed to this positive margin including ATI Technologies, Inc. (acquired by Advanced Micro Devices), Google, Inc. and Atheros Communications, Inc. The Fund's underweighted exposure to Health Care stocks was an important contributor to overall performance. The sector's average weighting during the year was well below the index and the Fund's holding performed in line with the benchmark's return. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in all aspects of the health care industry, including companies in the pharmaceutical, generic drug, medical device, managed care and biotech industries. Strong contributors to overall performance included Myogen, Inc., Gilead Sciences Inc. and Hologic Inc. -8- The Industrials sector had an average weight of 7.4% during the year that represented a substantial underweighting versus the average benchmark weighting of 14.7%. The performance of the Fund's holdings in this sector was much stronger than the benchmark, led by Terex Inc., Caterpillar Inc. and Roper Industries. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, the Fund's average sector weight was below that of the benchmark, but its stock performance outperformed the benchmark. Among the stronger performers in this sector were Crocs Inc., Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., and Focus Media Holdings Ltd. The Energy sector is not a major component of the Russell 3000 Growth Index, comprising only 4.3% of the benchmark. The Fund's energy exposure was greater than the Index averaging 9.1% over the course of the fiscal year. In addition, the Fund's stock selection returns broadly exceeded the index return as its exposure has been in the oil and gas exploration and production companies as well as in the onshore and offshore drillers. Stocks that were important contributors included Transocean Corp., Peabody Energy Corp. and Schlumberger.

We are all in that position today, heading towards an uncertain future laden with unknowns and opportunities. At Alger, we are as passionate about investing and about discovering innovative, dynamic companies as we have been for the past four decades. And as the year comes to a close, we thank you for the trust you place in us and for joining us as we explore this brave new world. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Daniel C.

Inclusion of such securities in a portfolio and transactions in such securities, if any, may be for a variety of reasons, including without limitation, in response to cash flows, inclusion in a benchmark and risk control.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for each fund which is included in this report for a complete list of fund holdings as of October 31, 2006. A WORD ABOUT RISK Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than other stocks as the price of growth stocks tends to be higher in relation to their companies' earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political and economic developments. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies are subject to greater risk than stocks of larger, more established companies owing to such factors as limited liquidity, inexperienced management, and limited financial resources. Funds that invest in fixed-income securities, such as the Balanced Institutional Fund and Core Fixed-Income Institutional Fund, are subject to the fixed-income securities' sensitivity to interest rate movements; their market values tend to fall when interest rates rise and to rise when interest rates fall. These portfolios are also subject to the risk of a decline in the value of the portfolio's securities in the event of an issue's falling credit rating or actual default. Funds that participate in leveraging, such as the, Capital Appreciation Institutional Fund and Technology Institutional Fund, are subject to the risk that borrowing money to leverage will exceed the returns for securities purchased or that the securities purchased may actually go down in value; -10- thus, the portfolio's net asset value can decrease more quickly than if the portfolio had not borrowed.

The Trust operates as a series company and currently issues an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in eight funds--LargeCap Growth Fund, SmallCap Growth Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Balanced Fund, Green Fund, Technology Fund and Core Fixed-Income Fund (collectively, the "Funds" or individually, each a "Fund"). Prior to October 19, 2006, the Socially Responsible Growth Fund was renamed the Alger Green Institutional Fund. The LargeCap Growth Fund, SmallCap Growth Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Green Fund and Technology Fund normally invest primarily in equity securities and each has an investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Balanced Fund's investment objectives are current income and long-term capital appreciation which it seeks to achieve through investing in equity and fixed-income securities. The Core Fixed-Income Fund's investment objective is current income consistent with the preservation of capital value, which it seeks by investing in fixed-income securities. Each Fund offers Class I and Class R shares. Class R shares were first offered January 27, 2003. Each class has identical rights to assets and earnings except that only Class R shares have a plan of distribution and bear the related expenses. NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (a) INVESTMENT VALUATION: Investments of the Funds are valued on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") is open as of the close of the NYSE (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Listed securities for which such information is readily available are valued at the last reported sales price or, in the absence of reported sales, at the mean between the bid and asked price or, in the absence of a recent bid or asked price, the equivalent as obtained from one or more of the major market makers for the securities to be valued. Securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price or, in the absence of reported sales, at the mean between the bid and asked price. Securities included within the Nasdaq market shall be valued at the Nasdaq official closing price (NOCP) on the day of valuation, or if there be no NOCP issued, at the last sale price on such day. Securities included within the Nasdaq market for which there is no NOCP and no last sale price on the day of valuation shall be valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices on such day. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Securities in which the Funds invest may be traded in markets that close before the close of the NYSE. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. -67- THE ALGER INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Eastern time) will not be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. However, if it be determined that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the values of the Funds' securities, the Funds may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the investment manager, pursuant to policies established by the Board of Trustees, believes to be the fair values of these securities as of the close of the NYSE. The Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Funds are open. Short-term securities having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of the underlying mutual fund. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued STATEMENT ON FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS" (FAS 157). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of October 31, 2006 the Funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period. (b) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. (c) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade dates and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included in realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Statements of Operations. -68- THE ALGER INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (d) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Funds enter into repurchase agreements with approved institutions. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. Government and agency securities, which are either received and held in physical possession by the custodian or received by such custodian in book-entry form through the Federal Reserve book-entry system. The collateral is valued on a daily basis during the term of the agreement to ensure that its value equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price to be repaid to the Funds. Additional collateral is obtained when necessary. (e) LENDING OF FUND SECURITIES: The Funds may lend their securities to financial institutions, provided that the market value of the securities loaned will not at any time exceed one third of a Fund's total assets, as defined. The Funds earn fees on the securities loaned. In order to protect against the risk of failure by the borrower to return the securities loaned or any delay in the delivery of such securities, the loan is collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. Government securities that are maintained in an amount equal to at least 100 percent of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any required additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. There were no securities on loan during the year ended October 31, 2006. (f) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends payable to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. With respect to all Funds, dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains, offset by any loss carry forward, are declared and paid annually after the end of the fiscal year in which earned. Each class is treated separately in determining the amounts of dividends of net investment income payable to holders of its shares. The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Funds' distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from, or in excess of net investment income, net realized gain on investment transactions or return of capital, depending on the type of book/tax differences that may exist. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications result primarily from the differences in tax treatment of net operating losses and amortization adjustments on debt securities. The reclassifications had no impact on the net asset values of the Funds and are designed to present the Funds' capital accounts on a tax basis. (g) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its investment company taxable income to its shareholders. Provided a Fund maintains such compliance, no federal income -69- THE ALGER INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) tax provision is required. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such compliance. On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined. (h) ALLOCATION METHODS: The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund. Expenses directly attributable to each Fund are charged to that Fund's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Funds are allocated among them based on net assets. Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and expenses of each Fund, are allocated among the Fund's classes based on relative net assets, with the exception of distribution fees, which are only applicable to Class R shares. (i) INDEMNIFICATION: The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The Trust does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements. (j) OTHER: These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require using estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Actual results may differ from those estimates. NOTE 3--INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: (a) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION FEES: Prior to September 12, 2006, Fred Alger Management, Inc.

On October 11, 2006, Alger Management, Alger Inc. and Alger Shareholder Services, Inc. executed an Assurance of Discontinuance with the Office of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"). On December 7, 2006, Alger Management and Alger Inc. executed Offers of Settlement with the Commission, and the settlement is subject to approval of the Commission. As part of the settlements with the Commission and the NYAG, without admitting or denying liability, the firms will consent to the payment of $30 million to reimburse fund shareholders; a fine of $10 million; and certain other remedial measures including a reduction in management fees of $1 million per year for five years. The entire $40 million and fee reduction will be available for the benefit of investors. Alger Management has advised the Funds that the proposed settlement payment is not expected to adversely affect the operations of Alger Management, Alger Inc. or their affiliates, or adversely affect their ability to continue to provide services to the Funds. On August 31, 2005, the West Virginia Securities Commissioner (the "WVSC") in an ex parte Summary Order to Cease and Desist and Notice of Right to Hearing concluded that Alger Management and Alger Inc. had violated the West Virginia Uniform Securities Act (the "WVUSA"), and ordered Alger Management and Alger Inc. to cease and desist from further violations of the WVUSA by engaging in the market-timing related conduct described in the order. The ex parte order provided notice of their right to a hearing with respect to the violations of law asserted by the WVSC. Other firms unaffiliated with Alger Management were served with similar orders. Alger Management and Alger Inc. intend to request a hearing for the purpose of seeking to vacate or modify the order. In addition, in 2003 and 2004 several purported class actions and shareholder derivative suits were filed against various parties in the mutual fund industry, including Alger Management, certain mutual funds managed by Alger -79- THE ALGER INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Management (the "Alger Mutual Funds"), and certain current and former Alger Mutual Fund trustees and officers, alleging wrongful conduct related to market-timing and late-trading by mutual fund shareholders. These cases were transferred to the U.S. District Court of Maryland by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for consolidated pre-trial proceedings. In September 2004, consolidated amended complaints involving these cases -- a Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint (the "Derivative Complaint") and two substantially identical Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaints (together, the "Class Action Complaint") -- were filed in the Maryland federal district court under the caption number 1:04-MD-15863 (JFM). In April 2005, a civil lawsuit involving similar allegations was filed by the West Virginia Attorney General and also transferred to the Maryland District Court, but such lawsuit has since been withdrawn. The Derivative Complaint alleged (i) violations, by Alger Management and, depending on the specific offense alleged, by Alger Inc. and/or the fund trustee defendants, of Sections 36(a), 36(b), 47, and 48 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Investment Company Act") and of Sections 206 and 215 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract, (ii) various offenses by other third-party defendants, and (iii) unjust enrichment by all the named defendants. The Class Action Complaint alleged, in addition to the offenses listed above, (i) violations, by Alger Management, Alger Inc., their affiliates, the funds named as defendants, including the Funds, and the current and former fund trustees and officers, of Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act"), and Section 34(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (ii) breach of contract by the funds named as defendants, and (iii) unjust enrichment of the defendants. Motions to dismiss the Class Action Complaint and the Derivative Complaint were subsequently filed. On November 3, 2005, the district court issued letter rulings dismissing both complaints in their entirety with respect to the Alger Mutual Funds and dismissing all claims against the other Alger defendants, other than the claims under the 1934 Act and Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act (as to which the court deferred ruling with respect to the Alger Mutual Fund Trustees), with leave to the class action plaintiffs to file amended complaints against those defendants with respect to claims under state law. Orders implementing the letter rulings were entered. On March 31, 2006, attorneys for the class action plaintiffs informed the district court that they had decided not to file amended complaints with respect to the plaintiffs' state law claims. Answers to the Class Action Complaint were filed by the Alger defendants on April 24, 2006. In subsequent orders, all remaining claims in the Class Action Complaint and the Derivative Complaint have been dismissed, other than claims under the -80- THE ALGER INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1934 Act against Alger Management, Alger Inc., Alger Associates, Inc. and Alger Shareholder Services, Inc., and certain present and former members of the senior management of Alger Management and/or Alger Inc., and claims under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act against Alger Management, Alger Inc., Alger Associates, Inc. and Alger Shareholder Services, Inc. NOTE 9--LIQUIDATION: The Balanced Institutional Fund, Technology Institutional Fund and the Core Fixed-Income Institutional Fund were liquidated on November 20, 2006, pursuant to a plan of liquidation approved by the Board of Trustees. -81- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of The Alger Institutional Funds: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Alger Institutional Funds (comprising the LargeCap Growth Institutional Fund, SmallCap Growth Institutional Fund, MidCap Growth Institutional Fund, Capital Appreciation Institutional Fund, Balanced Institutional Fund, Core Fixed-Income Institutional Fund, Technology Institutional Fund and Green Institutional Fund) (collectively, the "Funds"), as of October 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Alger Institutional Funds at October 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP December 12, 2006 -82- THE ALGER INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED) As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: transaction costs, if applicable, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, if applicable, and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period starting May 1, 2006 and ending October 31, 2006. ACTUAL EXPENSES The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about 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 would have 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 under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line under each class of shares in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. -83- SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) RATIO OF EXPENSES EXPENSES TO AVERAGE BEGINNING ENDING PAID DURING NET ASSETS ACCOUNT ACCOUNT THE PERIOD FOR THE SIX VALUE VALUE MAY 1, 2006 TO MONTHS ENDED MAY 1, OCTOBER 31, OCTOBER 31, OCTOBER 31, 2006 2006 2006(b) 2006(c) --------- ----------- -------------- ------------ ALGER LARGECAP GROWTH INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual ...................................... $1,000.00 $ 984.40 $6.05 1.21% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,019.11 6.16 1.21 CLASS R: Actual ...................................... 1,000.00 981.90 8.54 1.71 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,016.59 8.69 1.71 ALGER SMALLCAP GROWTH INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual ...................................... $1,000.00 $ 999.20 $6.60 1.31% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,018.60 6.67 1.31 CLASS R: Actual ...................................... 1,000.00 996.20 9.21 1.83 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,015.98 9.30 1.83 ALGER MIDCAP GROWTH INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual ...................................... $1,000.00 $ 953.60 $5.56 1.13% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,019.51 5.75 1.13 CLASS R: Actual ...................................... 1,000.00 951.70 8.02 1.63 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,016.99 8.29 1.63 ALGER CAPITAL APPRECIATION INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual ...................................... $1,000.00 $1,045.80 $6.55 1.27% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,018.80 6.46 1.27 CLASS R: Actual ...................................... 1,000.00 1,043.20 9.22 1.79 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,016.18 9.10 1.79 ALGER BALANCED INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual ...................................... $1,000.00 $ 998.70 $6.30 1.25% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,018.90 6.36 1.25 CLASS R: Actual ...................................... 1,000.00 989.50 8.78 1.75 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,016.38 8.89 1.75 ALGER GREEN INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual ...................................... $1,000.00 $1,041.00 $6.43 1.25% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,018.90 6.36 1.25 CLASS R: Actual ...................................... 1,000.00 1,038.50 8.99 1.75 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,016.38 8.89 1.75 -84- SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) RATIO OF EXPENSES EXPENSES TO AVERAGE BEGINNING ENDING PAID DURING NET ASSETS ACCOUNT ACCOUNT THE PERIOD FOR THE SIX VALUE VALUE MAY 1, 2006 TO MONTHS ENDED MAY 1, OCTOBER 31, OCTOBER 31, OCTOBER 31, 2006 2006 2006(b) 2006(c) --------- ----------- -------------- ------------ ALGER TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual* ..................................... $1,000.00 $1,012.00 $6.34 1.25% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,018.90 6.36 1.25 CLASS R: Actual* ..................................... 1,000.00 1,009.00 8.86 1.75 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,016.38 8.89 1.75 ALGER CORE FIXED-INCOME INSTITUTIONAL FUND CLASS I: Actual* ..................................... $1,000.00 $1,028.10 $3.07 0.60% Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,022.18 3.06 0.60 CLASS R: Actual* ..................................... 1,000.00 1,024.50 5.61 1.10 Hypothetical(a) ............................. 1,000.00 1,019.66 5.60 1.10 - ---------- * From March 1, 2006--Commencement of operations.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of Alger Management. For each Fund, in evaluating the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees drew on materials that they requested and which were provided to them in advance of the meeting by Alger Management and by counsel to the Trust. The materials covered, among other matters, (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Alger Management under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund, (iii) the costs to Alger Management of its services and the profits realized by Alger Management and Alger Inc. from their relationship with the Fund, and (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Fund grows and whether the fee level in the New Investment Advisory Agreement reflects these economies of scale. These materials included an analysis of the Fund and Alger Management's services by Callan Associates Inc. ("Callan"), an independent consulting firm whose specialties include assistance to fund trustees and directors in their review of advisory contracts pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. At the meeting, senior Callan personnel provided a presentation to the Trustees based on the Callan materials. In deciding whether to approve the New Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered various factors, including those enumerated above. They also considered other direct and indirect benefits to Alger Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by Alger Management pursuant to each Fund's New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied on their prior experience as Trustees of the Trust, their familiarity with the personnel and resources of Alger Management and its affiliates and the materials provided at the meeting, and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Alger Management pursuant to the Current Investment Advisory Agreements. For each Fund, they noted that under the Advisory Agreements, Alger Management is responsible for managing the investment operations of the Fund. They also noted that administrative, compliance, reporting and accounting services necessary for the conduct of the Fund's affairs are provided under the separate Administration Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of Alger Management's senior investment management personnel, including the individuals currently responsible for the investment operations of the Funds. They also considered the resources, operational -91- structures and practices of Alger Management in managing each Fund's portfolio and administering the Fund's affairs, as well as Alger Management's overall investment management business. The Trustees concluded that Alger Management's experience, resources and strength in those areas of importance to the Funds are considerable. The Trustees considered the level and depth of Alger Management's ability to execute portfolio transactions to effect investment decisions, including those through Alger Inc. The Trustees also considered the ongoing enhancements to the control and compliance environment at Alger Management and within the Trust. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF ALGER ASSOCIATES The Trustees assessed the implications for Alger Management of the pending transfer of ownership control of Alger Associates and Alger Management's ability to continue to provide services to the Funds of the same scope and quality as are currently provided. In particular, the Board inquired as to the impact of the pending transfer on Alger Management's personnel, management, facilities and financial capabilities, and received assurances in this regard from senior management of Alger Management that the pending transfer would not adversely affect Alger Management's ability to fulfill its obligations under the New Investment Advisory Agreements, and to operate its business in a manner consistent with past practices. The Board also considered that each Fund's New Investment Advisory Agreement, and the fees paid thereunder, are substantively identical in all respects to that Fund's Current Investment Advisory Agreement, except for the time periods covered by the Agreements and, that for administrative convenience, the separate Current Investment Advisory Agreements were being combined into a single New Investment Advisory Agreement between Alger Management and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS Drawing upon information provided at the meeting by Alger Management as well as Callan and upon reports provided to the Trustees by Alger Management throughout the preceding year, the Trustees noted that the performance of some of the Funds (SmallCap, Capital Appreciation and Socially Responsible) had been generally excellent, consistently outperforming the relevant benchmarks and fund peer groups for various periods through August 31, 2006, while other Funds (LargeCap and MidCap) had underperformed their benchmarks and fund peer groups for at least the year ended August 31, 2006. The Trustees discussed with Alger Management the performance of the two under-performing Funds, inquiring into both the reasons for the underperformance and Alger Management's plans for upgrading the Funds' performance. FUND FEES AND EXPENSE RATIOS; PROFITABILITY TO ALGER MANAGEMENT AND ITS AFFILIATES The Trustees considered the profitability of each Current Investment Advisory Agreement to Alger Management and its affiliates, and the methodology used -92- by Alger Management in determining such profitability. The Trustees reviewed previously-provided data on each Fund's profitability to Alger Management and its affiliates for the year ended June 30, 2006. In addition, the Trustees reviewed each Fund's management fees and expense ratios and compared them with a group of comparable funds. In order to assist the Trustees in this comparison, Callan had provided the Trustees with comparative information with respect to fees paid, and expense ratios incurred, by similar funds. That information indicated that, while some of the Funds' advisory fees and expense ratios were at or near (and in one case below) the median for the Fund's Callan peer group, other Funds' fees (LargeCap, MidCap and Capital Appreciation) and/or expense ratios (LargeCap, MidCap, Socially Responsible, SmallCap R Shares, and Capital Appreciation R Shares) were higher than those of most of the funds in the Callan peer group. In the latter cases, the Trustees determined that such information should be taken into account in weighing the size of the fee against the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. After discussing with representatives of the Adviser and Callan the methodologies used in computing the costs that formed the bases of the profitability calculations, the Trustees turned to the profitability data provided. After analysis and discussion, they concluded that, to the extent that Alger Management's and its affiliates' relationships with the Funds had been profitable to either or both of those entities, the profit margin in each case was modest. ECONOMIES OF SCALE On the basis of their discussions with management and their analysis of information provided at the meeting, the Trustees determined that the nature of the Funds and their operations is such that Alger Management is likely to realize economies of scale in the management of each Fund at some point as it grows in size, but that in view of the current levels of profitability of each of the Funds to Alger Management and its affiliates, such economies as might already exist were subsumed in the level of the management fees, and that adoption of breakpoints in one or more advisory fees, while possibly appropriate at a later date, could await further analysis of the sources and potential scale of the economies and the fee structure that would best reflect them. Accordingly, the Trustees requested that Alger Management address this topic with the Trustees at future meetings. OTHER BENEFITS TO ALGER MANAGEMENT The Trustees considered whether Alger Management benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Funds. They noted that Alger Management maintains soft-dollar arrangements in connection with the Funds' brokerage transactions, data on which is regularly supplied to the Trustees at their quarterly meetings. The Trustees also noted that Alger, Inc. provides a substantial portion of the Funds' equity brokerage and receives shareholder servicing fees from the Funds as well, and that Alger Shareholder Services, Inc. receives fees from the Funds under a shareholder services agreement. The Trustees had -93- been provided with information regarding, and had considered, the brokerage and shareholder servicing fee benefits in connection with their review of the profitability to Alger Management and its affiliates of their relationships with the Funds. As to other benefits received, the Trustees decided that none were so significant as to render Alger Management's fees excessive. At the conclusion of these discussions, each of the Independent Trustees expressed the opinion that he had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to approval of each Fund's New Investment Advisory Agreement. Based on its discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations, as to each Fund: o The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Alger Management are adequate and appropriate. o The Board determined that the pending transfer of ownership control of Alger Associates would not be a detriment to Alger Management's ability to continue to provide services to the Fund of the same scope and quality as provided under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement, and that the pending transfer would not adversely affect Alger Management's ability to fulfill its obligations under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, and to operate its business in a manner consistent with past practices. o The Board was satisfied with the performance of the Funds that had shown excellent performance, but determined to monitor the progress of Alger Management's steps to improve the performance of the underperforming Funds. o The Board concluded that the Fund's fee paid to Alger Management, which was proposed to be the same under the New Investment Advisory Agreement as under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement, was reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by Alger Management from the relationship with the Fund. o The Board determined that there were not at this time significant economies of scale to be realized by Alger Management in managing the Fund's assets and that, to the extent that material economies of scale had not been shared with the Fund, the Board would seek to do so. The Board considered these conclusions and determinations and, without any one factor being dispositive, determined that approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. -94- PROXY VOTING POLICIES A description of the policies and procedures the Trust uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and the proxy voting record is available, without charge, by calling (800) 992-3362 or online on the Funds' website at http://www.alger.com or on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
