Dear Shareholder;
(PHOTO OF WILLIAM G. PAPESH)
As we enter a new fiscal year, our fund family is moving rapidly to complete
preparations for the acquisition of WM Advisors, Inc. and its subsidiaries by
the Principal Financial Group(R) (The Principal(R)). We are extremely
enthusiastic about the opportunity to join a company where asset management and
accumulation form the core of its business and where the advisory group,
Principal Global Investors, shares our expertise in asset allocation. Just as
the WM Group of Funds is the 4th largest manager of target-risk asset allocation
funds, The Principal is the 4th largest manager of target-date asset allocation
funds.(1) Together, we will rank 4th in the overall management of asset
allocation funds nationally.
On the next few pages, we introduce you to our future parent company and its
world-class investment management group. I'd also like to briefly explain below
how the WM Group of Funds will transition through this process.
EVOLUTION OF A FUND COMPLEX
To summarize, the 22 existing retail WM Funds will become part of Principal
Investors Fund, Inc. (Principal Investors Funds) as follows:
- - 15 funds will continue to be managed by their current portfolio management
teams.
- - 7 funds will be merged into existing Principal Investors Funds and
thereafter will be managed by Principal Global Investors or one of its
premier boutique asset management affiliates.(2)
We arrived at these decisions through careful consideration of many factors, two
of which stand out with respect to their potential impact on shareholders:
- - SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES: Each share class of a surviving fund will have an
expense ratio equal to or lower than that of the corresponding share class
of the current WM Fund. In certain instances, this will be achieved through
an expense cap agreed to by The Principal.(3)
- - PERFORMANCE: With respect to the 7 WM Funds that will merge into existing
Principal Investors Funds, the Principal Investors Funds had better
historical performance than the merged fund for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year
periods ended September 30, 2006, as applicable.(4) Please note that past
performance does not guarantee future results.
After the fund mergers in January 2007, the combined lineup will consist of 48
retail funds spanning a broad array of asset allocation, equity, and
fixed-income investments.
CONTINUITY OF MANAGEMENT AND STEWARDSHIP
The Principal Funds complex also will retain many of the people who have served
you and your investment needs over the previous years:
- - WM ADVISORS: Our investment management group will have a new name--Edge
Asset Management, Inc.--but it will remain in Seattle and employ many of WM
Advisors' portfolio managers.
- - WM FUNDS DISTRIBUTOR, INC. AND WM SHAREHOLDER SERVICES, INC.: These groups
will form the management and staff of Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. and
Principal Shareholder Services, Inc.
- - WM GROUP OF FUNDS BOARD OF TRUSTEES: Four members of our current Board are
proposed for election to the board of Principal Investors Fund, Inc. This
group includes Dick Yancey (our Chairman and a Board member for over 30
years), Dan Pavelich (head of the Audit Committee), Kristi Blake (head of
the Operations and Distribution Committee), and myself. I would also like
to express my deep gratitude to Ed Davis, Carrol McGinnis, Al Osborne, Jay
Rockey, and Anne Farrell for their many years of diligent service on behalf
of our shareholders.
The Principal has embraced our management and staff, and I think you'll find the
combined fund family reflects our best qualities, plus new capabilities and
resources. On behalf of everyone at the WM Group of Funds, thank you for the
support and trust that you and other shareholders have honored us with for over
65 years.
Sincerely,
/s/ William G. Papesh

WM Group of Funds Transitions to Principal Funds
Earlier this year, we announced that the Principal Financial Group(R) (The
Principal(R)) had agreed to acquire our fund family's operating companies. Now
that the process is nearing completion, we'd like to introduce you to our future
parent company and the mutual fund complex that will manage your investments.
Many of our shareholders will recognize the Principal Financial Group as a name
they associate with their workplace benefits, such as their retirement plan. As
the nation's 401(k) leader,1 The Principal derives over 90% of its assets under
management from retirement operations. In the U.S., it serves 42,000 employers
with 2.7 million plan participants,2 representing a large base of investors who
recognize The Principal as one of "America's Retirement Experts."
To extend its services to individual investors outside of their work-place, The
Principal is acquiring WM Advisors and its affiliates. When the transaction
closes at the end of 2006 (see Milestones chart on the next page), we will
become part of a diverse family of financial services companies -- one where
asset management is central to the company's business.
WM ADVISORS JOINS WORLD-CLASS INVESTMENT MANAGER
The heart of the company's asset management organization is Principal Global
Investors, an investment manager that combines wide-ranging capabilities with a
truly global reach.
Like WM Advisors, Principal Global Investors is a leader within the field of
asset allocation investing. While the WM Group of Funds is the 4th largest
manager of target-risk asset allocation funds, The Principal is the 4th largest
manager of target-date asset allocation funds.(3) The combined fund family will
rank 4th in the overall management of asset allocation funds nationally.
Following the acquisition, WM Advisors will be positioned within a network of
investment managers affiliated with Principal Global Investors. It will join
premier boutique firms such as Columbus Circle Investors and Spectrum Asset
Management, which have expertise in a variety of core asset styles and niche
investments.

of the Fortune 500, the Principal Financial Group serves some 16.4 million
customers from its offices in 11 countries throughout Asia, Australia, Europe,
Latin America, and the United States.(2)
JANUARY FUND MERGERS LAUNCH AN EXPANDED FUND FAMILY
The fund mergers scheduled for mid-January 2007 will constitute one of the final
steps in the transition process. The combined fund business groups will be known
as Principal Funds. With 48 mutual funds offered to retail investors, Principal
Funds can provide you with:
- - World-Class Investment Management

Economy & Financial Markets: Review & Outlook
ECONOMY ENTERS MID-CYCLE SLOWDOWN
We began the fiscal year with the view that U.S. economic growth would be
moderate but weaker than consensus projections. Although corporate profits and
consumer spending looked healthy, a slowdown in the housing market appeared
likely. We thought when this housing pullback took hold, it would curtail
consumers' ability to maintain refinancing-fueled spending. Our 2006 outlook
also recognized that a variety of short-term and long-term forces had aligned to
indicate that growth would slow.
One cyclical measure that attracted widespread headlines during the period was
crude oil prices which, through elevated fuel costs, can act as a tax on
consumers. The U.S. benchmark price of oil began the period at $59.77 per
barrel, reached a high closing price of $77.03 in July, and then retreated to
close at $58.74 on October 31, 2006.
Like crude oil prices, the rate of economic growth climbed and peaked before
ending the period near its starting point. Inflation-adjusted (real) growth
increased 1.8% during the final three months of 2005. With strong consumer and
business spending, it surged 5.6% in early 2006. Evidence of a housing sector
correction became clearer in the following months, and real growth decelerated
to an estimated 2.2%. (See text highlights in chart below.)
Since housing is a lagging indicator, we believe that the full economic effects
of its pullback have yet to play out. However, we expect solid job markets to
mitigate the pain that housing causes consumers. Our 2007 outlook is for real
growth to keep to the lower end of a 2-3% range as the economy works through a
mid-cycle slowdown.
INFLATION GIVES FED PAUSE
For this kind of "soft landing" to occur, we believe that lower interest rates
courtesy of the Federal Reserve (the Fed) will be a requirement. The Fed began
steadily raising short-term interest rates in June 2004. Like many market
participants, we entered 2006 believing that a housing-led slowdown in growth
would soon spur the Fed to halt this monetary tightening campaign.
However, concerns about rising inflation dominated the Fed's mindset during the
year. A price index that measures core personal consumption1 stood at 1.9% for
November 2005, but inflation picked up steam and sent this gauge to 2.5% in
August 2006. Inflation

fears eased somewhat as energy prices headed downward and the housing market
cooled. These developments allowed the Fed to leave its target for the federal
funds rate unchanged at 5.25% near the end of the fiscal year.
This rate is slightly restrictive in our view. We expect the lagging effects of
monetary tightening to contain inflation going forward by combining with
significant deflationary forces. We also believe that the economic system has
become somewhat self-regulating in recent years, alleviating the need for a
highly active Fed. However, as fears of inflation continue to subside, we think
the Fed will turn its sights on potential deflation and recession. We don't
regard either of these conditions as likely, but we would welcome Fed actions
that begin cutting interest rates early in 2007.
MARKETS MAKE LATE-PERIOD CLIMB
Uncertainty about inflation and interest rates often determined investor
behavior during the fiscal year. As shown in the chart below, stock markets
achieved muted gains within the early months of 2006 before retreating in May
and June-- a span that was framed by the year's final two Fed rate increases.
The growing likelihood and then arrival of the Fed's pause kindled a rally in
stocks and also benefited bonds, causing yields to fall. The S&P 500 advanced
16.34% for the fiscal year, and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index ended
the period with a total return of 5.18%.(2)
The outlook for subdued growth and inflation described above, and the potential
for monetary easing by the Fed, lead us to expect that bond yields will continue
inching lower in 2007. Any incoming data that sparks recession fears could
create some volatility for fixed-income securities. However, we regard corporate
and mortgage issues as reasonably valued and believe that they will perform in
line with this risk.
Lower bond yields are also among the factors that support the prospects for
moderate but positive gains by equities in 2007. Stocks continue to appear
attractive relative to bonds and are likely to be assisted by fair valuations,
the global flow of funds, and the generally healthy state of corporations.
Cyclical economic and valuation indicators also suggest that large-cap stocks
could outperform small caps and growth could outperform value. A less
restrictive stance by the Fed could also accommodate the appreciation of stock
prices.

Advisors. It should not be considered as investment advice. No forecast based on

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have enjoyed enormous market enthusiasm in
recent years, and this positive trend continued during the 2006 fiscal year. The
benchmark REIT index rose strongly over the period and ended with more than
double the total return of the broad stock market. These results were fueled, in
part, by the activity of hedge funds and institutional investors that have
favored REITs as a diversification tool.
Stock selection was the primary source of positive performance for the WM REIT
Fund during the year. The industrial/office sector advanced strongly within the
market, benefiting the Fund. Many leases that these REITs hold reset at higher
levels during the period and boosted earnings. Strong contributors included
Boston Properties, SL Green Realty, and ProLogis. The Fund also benefited from
several specialty REITs. Entertainment Properties, which owns movie theater
property, rose on an improved valuation. Global Signal, a telecommunications
tower REIT, climbed after a buyout announcement. Certain mortgage and
residential holdings also had a positive impact on performance.
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852. Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 5.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
REIT securities are subject to risk factors associated with the real estate
industry and tax factors of REIT registration.

However, the Fund's underweighting of the residential sector proved to be
problematic. As the housing sector cooled this year, the "rent vs. buy" decision
increasingly favored rentals. We underweighted the sector, believing that the
housing slowdown would cause fewer speculative condominium sales and leading
these units to eventually re-enter the supply of rentals. We believe that the
market began to price this activity into residential REITs later in the year,
but the Fund missed out on some of the sector's earlier gains.
Changes within allocations during the period were fairly limited. In the
industrial/office sector, several Fund holdings were bought out, and valuations
led us to sell a position and trim others. In the health care sector, we added
two new holdings, Health Care REIT and OMEGA Healthcare Investors, and we built
up other positions. This overweighted sector benefited Fund performance late in
the fiscal year as health care REITs began to participate more fully in REIT
market gains.
Overall, we believe that REIT fundamentals remain strong but valuations also
seem quite rich. Assessments of this market can be somewhat clouded since REIT
fundamentals and stock price appreciation have often diverged in the past. REITs
have outperformed the S&P 500 every year since 1999, and we feel that this
lengthy period of strong gains may be contributing to some market complacency.
As a result, we tend to favor higher quality holdings and anticipate that
investors may not be rewarded for moving down the quality spectrum.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Strong economic growth in early 2006 decelerated as this fiscal year progressed.
Inflationary pressures also rose and then eased. During the first eight months
of the period, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued its two-year streak of
increases in short-term interest rates. The Fed's August decision to pause its
monetary tightening campaign, coupled with a decline in energy prices, spurred a
rally in equity markets that continued through the close of the period.
The WM Equity Income Fund began the fiscal year with defensive positioning that
reflected an outlook for slower economic growth and rising inflation and
interest rates. The sectors that we emphasized included consumer staples, health
care, and telecommunications. As the conditions we had forecasted became more
evident, the Fund's sector allocations benefited performance. An underweighting
in financials proved beneficial as these firms struggled to achieve earnings
growth while short-term interest rates increased and the yield curve flattened.
An overweighting in the energy sector also assisted performance, as energy

investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 5.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above. REIT securities are subject to
risk factors associated with the real estate industry and tax factors of REIT
registration.

costs were high for a majority of the period. However, an underweighting in
materials had a negative impact as the Fund missed out on some of the gains this
sector enjoyed during the year.
Performance by individual holdings was a slight net negative to results for the
period, as certain holdings struggled and offset gains by strong performers.
Diversified financial positions, with a fee-based revenue model and less
interest-rate sensitivity, benefited the Fund. Franklin Resources and Morgan
Stanley both advanced through this strategy.
Several technology firms, including Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard, and
Samsung, also had a positive impact. Real estate investment trusts (REITs), such
as ProLogis, continued their multi-year trend of strong gains, and this
benefited the Fund. However, certain positions within the consumer staples,
health care, and industrials sectors were detrimental to performance.
With a pullback by equity markets during the spring, followed by easing
inflationary pressures and the Fed's pause, we have begun to look at
opportunities in more economically sensitive areas of the market. We believe
that the slowing of economic growth will reach a trough in the near term and
then return to slightly higher, sustainable levels. However, we also feel that
interest-rate cuts by the Fed in 2007 will be necessary to avoid a prolonged
deceleration of growth. In an environment of subdued growth and inflation, we
will be looking for opportunities in cyclicals, transportation, and industrials.
We also continue to look across all sectors for undervalued firms that we
believe demonstrate strong balance sheets, cash flow, and dividend growth
prospects.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
During the fiscal year, corporations continued to generate strong earnings
growth while economic growth initially accelerated and then slowed. To rein in
inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued its two-year
streak of increases in short-term interest rates. The Fed's August decision to
pause its monetary tightening campaign spurred a rally in equity markets.
Large-cap stocks benefited from this advance, although a decisive market
rotation away from small-and mid-cap stocks had yet to occur as the period
closed.
As economic growth has decelerated, our strategy has been to emphasize holdings
that rely on business spending and to deemphasize those that rely on consumer
spending. Several firms within the industrials sector provided the WM Growth &
Income Fund with gains during the period. Lockheed Martin rose on increased
defense spending. Honeywell International advanced on improvements in the
aviation sector. The Fund's one airline position, AMR, also rose on improved
financial conditions for airlines following an industry-wide reduction in
capacity. The Fund also received positive contributions

investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more

contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.

Performance of other share classes will differ.
See glossary on page 36 for definitions of indices and terms.
(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower.
(2) Net asset value is not adjusted for sales charge.
(3) Returns shown for the index assume reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions, and the since-inception return shown for the index is
calculated from 10/31/49. Indices are unmanaged, and individuals cannot
invest directly in an index.

from telecommunications holdings like AT&T and Verizon, which have benefited
from the consolidation of wireless and "wireline" companies.
However, the lagging performance of large-cap and mega-cap firms earlier in the
fiscal year was detrimental to the Fund, as were certain problematic health care
holdings. Within this group, Omnicare, a provider of pharmacy services to
nursing facilities, declined in the wake of legal and business headwinds, and we
exited the position. While Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Medtronic, and
Johnson & Johnson also endured a variety of problems, Medtronic and Johnson &
Johnson have improved in recent months.
Within sector allocations, we reduced consumer discretionaries to an
underweighting due to our outlook for decelerating consumer spending. We also
trimmed utilities, which is a sector that tends to lag in a rising/stable
interest-rate environment. Conversely, we added some new holdings in the energy
sector, and in the latter months of the year, we increased the Fund's technology
exposure.
We believe that the market has begun to acknowledge that economic growth is
likely to continue slowing. We anticipate that this will lead investors to
reduce their risk exposure and gravitate toward large-cap companies that
typically fare better than small firms during a mid-cycle slowdown. Large caps
tend to have greater cash flow, stronger balance sheets, and broader market
exposure, all of which can support them through slower economic conditions.
Should economic growth and inflation remain subdued, we believe stocks of
high-quality large- and mega-cap firms could continue advancing.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Speculation about interest rates and inflation dominated the financial markets
during much of the fiscal year and helped restrain equity returns. To rein in
inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued its two-year
streak of increases in short-term interest rates before deciding in August to
pause this monetary tightening campaign. Economic growth slowed as the year
progressed, but the Fed's pause and a late-period decline in oil prices spurred
a rally in equity markets that extended through the close of the year.
Challenges endured by certain holdings resulted in some of the WM West Coast
Equity Fund's relative underperformance for the period. Several health care
positions lagged the broader market's gains, due in part to political
uncertainty prior to the mid-term congressional elections. Pixelworks, which
makes chips for the display screens of electronic devices, had a detrimental
impact on the Fund after it posted losses in recent quarters. Several
California-based bank holdings also struggled as short-term interest rates rose
and the yield curve flattened.
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852. Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 5.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Small-cap and mid-cap stocks may have additional risks, including greater price
volatility. There may be additional investment risks due to the Fund's
concentration in West Coast companies.

assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share

In contrast, the Fund received positive contributions from Oregon Steel, Boeing,
and Cisco Systems. Oregon Steel rose on increased demand for its product for use
in natural gas pipelines. Boeing benefited from recent orders, as well as
troubles at competitor Airbus. Cisco advanced on increased capital spending,
particularly by companies that upgraded their enterprise networks.
Changes in sector allocations during the period were somewhat limited, and this
kept turnover low for the year. Slowing economic growth led us to build up core
positions in consumer staples. However, the Fund remains underweighted in this
sector. A mix of new positions and additions to core holdings built up the
technology weighting. Technology, which was an underperformer in the early
months of the year, was increased to take advantage of later changes in the
economic environment.
The Fund closed the fiscal year with positioning that seeks to benefit from the
recent decline in oil prices and the Fed's pause. We continue to favor large-cap
equities, particularly those that we believe demonstrate good earnings but have
lagged in the year-ending rally. We anticipate that economic growth will
continue to slow while avoiding a recession. However, we also believe that
eventual interest-rate cuts by the Fed will be necessary to achieve sustainable
growth. Over the long term, we continue to view the West Coast as the premier
hub for U.S. technology and biotech development. Accordingly, we believe we have
constructed the Fund to take advantage of these opportunities.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
During the fiscal year, economic growth accelerated and then slowed while
inflationary pressures also rose before later easing. An August decision by the
Federal Reserve (the Fed) to pause its monetary tightening campaign, plus a
decline in oil prices, spurred a rally in equity markets. Large-cap stocks
benefited from this advance initially, but mid caps outperformed large caps in
October, casting doubt about whether a decisive market rotation away from small
and mid caps would occur in the near term.
The WM Mid Cap Stock Fund built relative outperformance for the year through a
variety of holdings that demonstrated earnings growth. Airline holdings,
particularly Continental Airlines and AMR, benefited from improving financial
conditions within the industry as airlines trimmed their fleets and reduced
overall capacity. Subsequent fare increases had a more profoundly positive
impact on earnings than the negative effects of high fuel costs. Another
industrial position, Lincoln Electric Holdings, advanced on
greater-than-expected sales and earnings growth. As a manufacturer of
arc-welding products and welding supplies, Lincoln Electric has benefited from
industrial growth

in China, India, and Eastern Europe. Within other sectors, long-term holdings
Mattel (consumer durables) and Covance (health care) also made positive
contributions to Fund performance.
The Fund also benefited from a general lack of problematic positions. We
diligently monitor the portfolio's holdings, seeking to avoid earnings surprises
on the downside, and we were able to do that this year. The Fund's holdings did
not suffer any declines during the period that we would regard as meaningful
(i.e., more than 10%).
During the period, we saw few significant over- or under-valuations in sectors,
so we did not make any dramatic adjustments to weightings. Changes that were
made were confined to trimming or building core positions based on valuations.
For example, the strong performance of energy holdings in the first half of the
fiscal year led us to pare these positions, moving the energy sector to a
moderate underweighting.
Our outlook for mid-cap equities is generally positive, but we anticipate that
economic growth will continue to slow from its strong pace in early 2006.This
anticipated slowdown should produce a benign economic and interest-rate
environment. On the negative side, many companies may find it hard to sustain
strong earnings growth. Therefore, we are redoubling our research efforts to
identify companies that we believe can generate strong sales and earnings growth
without the benefit of a robust economy.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Salomon Brothers Asset Management, Inc, Janus Capital Management LLC, and
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. share management responsibilities for the WM Growth Fund.
U.S. equity markets generally performed well over the course of the fiscal year,
due in large part to the continued strength of the economy, despite its slowing
rate of growth. Large-cap growth stocks appeared to be out of favor for much of
the period, but strong earnings and weaker oil prices spurred a year-end rally
in which large-cap growth stocks showed improving valuations.
Salomon Brothers reported that an overweighting and good stock selection within
the financials sector, combined with a lack of energy stocks, were factors that
contributed positively to relative performance. Individual contributors included
Merrill Lynch & Co. and Morgan Stanley. Stock selection in the information
technology, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors detracted from
performance. Positions that were problematic included Yahoo!, Juniper Networks,
and Red Hat.
Janus also cited Yahoo! as a detractor from performance, along with select
energy and

health care holdings. UnitedHealth Group experienced a variety of headwinds
during the period, but Janus believes that the company's prospects for growing
market share, an attractive stock valuation, and higher earnings growth
potential bode well for the company's long-term potential. A number of
information technology stocks benefited the Fund. Research in Motion, the maker
of BlackBerry devices, contributed positive performance for the period. New
holding Apple Computer also rose strongly.
Like the other subadvisors, Oppenheimer found that individual stock performance
proved to be the primary influence, both positive and negative, on its
portfolio's returns. It listed Cisco, Google, and Monsanto as top gainers, along
with contributions from Cognizant Tech Solutions and Schlumberger. Holdings that
detracted from performance included Yahoo!, XM Satellite Radio, and Medtronic.
Oppenheimer continues to believe in the prospects for Yahoo! and XM Satellite,
but it exited its Medtronic position.
All three subadvisors are generally optimistic about the prospects for large-cap
growth stocks. Oppenheimer notes that recent years have formed the longest
duration and greatest magnitude of growth underperformance in history, and it
anticipates a change in these circumstances due to the slowing economic cycle.
Both Oppenheimer and Salomon believe that a combination of strong fundamentals
and attractive valuations have created a good investment opportunity in the
large-cap growth space. However, Salomon and Janus point to the role of the
Federal Reserve in determining if the economy ultimately experiences a hard or
soft landing.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Despite growing evidence that the economy is entering a mid-cycle slowdown--
conditions that typically favor large-cap firms--outperformance by small-cap
stocks continued during the fiscal year. Investors also continued to favor value
over growth across all capitalizations. A late-period stock market rally was
ignited by declining oil prices and a decision by the Federal Reserve (the Fed)
to halt its two-year streak of interest-rate increases. Large caps were the
initial beneficiaries of this advance, but in October, small caps resumed their
outperformance.
Individual stock performance was the primary determinant of results for the WM
Small Cap Value Fund. Certain problematic holdings offset the gains of strong
performers. Negative contributions came primarily from consumer discretionaries.
Movie Gallery, a video rental retailer, enjoyed a brief advance in the spring
before dropping on lower-than- expected earnings. An earnings miss at Rocky
Brands, which makes footwear, caused us to exit the position. Poor results from
holdings in other sectors included Credence Systems, a technology firm whose
product delays and downsizing caused us to trim this position.
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852. Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 5.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Small-cap and mid-cap stocks may have additional risks, including greater price
volatility. International investing involves increased risks due to currency
fluctuations, political or social instability, and differences in accounting
standards.

Conversely, holdings from the materials sector advanced strongly on the
widespread runup in commodity prices. The standout performer within this sector
was Minara Resources, an Australian nickel miner that benefited from a surge in
nickel prices plus production improvements. Century Aluminum and Randgold
Resources also benefited Fund performance.
Airline holdings, particularly Continental Airlines and AMR, benefited from
improving financial conditions within the industry as airlines trimmed their
fleets and reduced overall capacity. Subsequent fare increases had a more
profoundly positive impact on earnings than the negative effects of fuel costs
that were high for much of the year.
Advances by airline holdings also increased the Fund's overall allocation to the
industrials sector. Additionally, stock selection led us to add several new
holdings that are categorized as industrials despite their very different
business models. Other sector changes during the period included some selective
additions to the Fund's underweighted financials allocation. Rising short-term
interest rates and stationary long-term interest rates have hampered earnings
growth for financial firms this year. However, we recently found a few with
attractive valuations.
Our outlook anticipates that the actions of the Fed, as determined by incoming
growth and inflation data, will help to set the market direction for small-cap
equities. The Fed's pause could prove beneficial for small caps in the short
term, but any mixed economic data that creates uncertainty about the Fed's next
move could provoke some volatility. This possibility, combined with full
valuations, leads us to continue focusing on higher-quality holdings.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Delaware Management Company and Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. share management
responsibilities for the WM Small Cap Growth Fund.
Equities rose strongly for the fiscal year, with small-cap stocks leading the
way. However, value stocks significantly outperformed growth across all
capitalizations. These results reflected, in part, a retreat in equities during
the spring when fears about inflation and rising interest rates led investors to
flee riskier assets. Growth stocks suffered the most, especially among
smaller-cap stocks. Investor pessimism subsided late in the year, however, as
commodity prices dropped and the Federal Reserve (the Fed) finally paused its
campaign of successive interest-rate hikes. Large-cap stocks benefited
initially, but small-cap growth stocks broke out and generated strong returns in
October.
Delaware noted that its overall sector allocations for the year were modestly
positive, with overweightings in consumer-related sectors adding value. Its
stock selection for the period, however, had a generally negative impact,
particularly in the consumer non-durables, health care, and technology sectors.

Performance of other share classes will differ.
See glossary on page 36 for definitions of indices and terms.
(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower. The Fund's
performance between 1998 and 1999 benefited from the agreement of WM
Advisors and its affiliates to limit the Fund's expenses.
(2) Net asset value is not adjusted for sales charge.
(3) Returns shown for the index assume reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions, and the since-inception return shown for the index is
calculated from 7/31/90. Indices are unmanaged, and individuals cannot
invest directly in an index.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Emerging Growth Team James W. Oberweis, CFA
Delaware Management Company Oberweis Asset Management, Inc.
came primarily from the technology and health care sectors. Encysive
Pharmaceuticals fell by more than half after a delayed drug approval. Ixia, a
disc-drive-component manufacturer, also declined, and Delaware exited both of
these positions. Positive individual contributors were spread across multiple
sectors and included Akamai Technologies and Gymboree.
Oberweis's portfolio was heavily weighted in health care, technology, and
consumer discretionary names during the year, but holdings in health care and
technology impaired performance. Top detractors included Pharmanet (formerly
known as SFBC), Blue Coat Systems, and Openwave Systems. Positive contributions
came from consumer discretionary and energy holdings. Focus Media Holdings,
which provides television display advertising in China, was a top contributor.
Rackable Systems, which manufactures high-density, rack-mounted servers and
storage systems, also benefited Fund performance. Other positive performers
included Veritas DGC and Dril-Quip.
Declining energy prices and data indicating a slowing-but-healthy economy have
made Delaware increasingly optimistic that a "soft landing" of Fed neutrality
and moderate, sustainable growth could occur. Such an environment could be
beneficial for companies that can sustain superior earnings growth. According to
Oberweis, the recent moderation of energy prices has reduced inflationary
pressures and potentially increased consumers' disposable income. This could
allow stocks with consumer leverage to exceed expectations. Oberweis anticipates
that an economic environment characterized by slower-but-sustainable
growth--permitting the Fed to maintain the status quo--could be positive for
equities in 2007.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
International equity markets enjoyed solid gains for the fiscal year despite a
pullback during the spring. Financial stocks led European markets, with
insurance stocks rising on firmer premiums and companies with capital markets
exposure profiting from trading and investment banking. Across developed
markets, industrials and materials stocks continued their cyclical upswing, and
utilities stocks also rose sharply. The telecommunications services sector was
among the weakest sectors. Energy and health care stocks also trailed the
broader market.
Asian stocks led the emerging markets universe whereas emerging markets in Latin
America, Europe, and Africa, which are more reliant on the energy and materials
sectors, lagged. Emerging markets in general were supported by improving
macroeconomic fundamentals.
The WM International Growth Fund's developed markets portfolio benefited from
its stock selection, particularly among consumer discretionary holdings such as
Volkswagen. Telecommunications services positions were also beneficial as
America Movil (Mexico), SOFTBANK (Japan), and KPN (Netherlands)
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852. Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 5.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
International investing, especially in emerging markets, involves increased
risks due to currency fluctuations, political or social instability, and
differences in accounting standards.

had strong absolute returns. However, industrial holdings, primarily Japanese
names, had a negative impact.
In March, the Fund expanded its emerging markets exposure. Since that time,
emerging markets have underperformed developed markets. Within the Fund's
emerging markets portfolio, information technology holdings like Infosys
Technologies and Hon Hai Precision were top contributors. Stock selection within
the consumer staples sector was also beneficial, with gains by Wal-Mart de
Mexico and China Mengniu.
However, performance was held back by health care, industrial, and utilities
holdings.
On a geographic basis, the Fund benefited from stock selection in Japan, Canada,
Russia, and Taiwan. It was negatively impacted by stock selection in the United
Kingdom and in Spain, Turkey, and China.
Our outlook for developed markets recognizes that the European economy is
gaining traction, with less reliance on exports now that domestic demand is
improving. Combined with reasonable valuations and low long-term interest rates,
this makes for a positive backdrop for European stocks. Japan's economy also
appears to be returning to normal, although corporations are recovering faster
than consumers.
We believe the outlook for emerging market equities remains positive overall.
Global economic growth appears to be slowing, but it is still solid. Estimates
of domestic demand growth for emerging markets signal underlying strength in
many economies. Consensus earnings growth estimates are higher for emerging
markets companies than for developed market corporations, while valuations are
at a discount.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
During the first eight months of the fiscal year, the Federal Reserve (the Fed)
raised the federal funds target rate six times to 5.25%. While these rate
increases accumulated, the yield curve (the difference in yields between 2- and
10-year Treasuries) inverted dramatically. This inversion was particularly sharp
at the front end of the curve. Within this environment, short-term mortgage
securities performed well, as did corporate issues that benefited as spreads
tightened.
The best-performing holdings of the WM Short Term Income Fund were corporate
issues with very short maturities, a feature that left little doubt that the
issuers would pay on these securities when they came due. For example, the
portfolio holds Ford Motor Credit Company notes that are due in January 2007.
These issues were heavily discounted a year ago and benefited Fund performance
as they neared maturity. Several Fund holdings in the financial services and
banking sectors have similar positions on the yield curve, and consequently they
had a positive impact on performance during the fiscal year.
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852.Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 3.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 4%, which declines over 4 years (4-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will
decline as interest rates rise. There may be additional credit and default risks
associated with lower-rated securities. REIT securities are subject to risk
factors associated with the real estate industry and tax factors of REIT
registration.

In contrast, two corporate holdings suffered following leveraged buyout (LBO)
offers. Such takeovers are typically detrimental to holders of existing debt
because the prospect of additional leverage reduces the likelihood that current
debt holders will be paid. Issues of Harrah's, a casino operator, and Univision
Communications, a U.S. Spanish-language broadcaster, detracted from Fund
performance as these companies considered LBO deals. In the case of Univision,
the company was downgraded during the period. Its sale eventually was approved
by its shareholders.
Despite these difficulties, corporate issues also offered some of the more
attractive opportunities during the period. We added to the financial services,
technology, telecommunications, and building products categories, where new
names included General Electric Capital, Cisco, KPN, and Mohawk Industries.
These purchases were partly funded by trimming mortgage- and asset-backed
securities, a strategy that accounted for some of the reduction in holdings
rated Aaa.
Late in the fiscal year, bond markets began to anticipate a near-term cut in
interest rates by the Fed. We considered this speculation to be premature,
believing that an ease in monetary policy was more likely to occur in 2007. In
the interim, there is a good possibility that the front end of the yield curve
will remain inverted, with some volatility if economic data presents mixed
signals. However, as conditions evolve and the market gains confidence that a
Fed rate cut is imminent, we believe the investment environment for short-term
bonds, particularly 2-year and 3-year issues, could be favorable.

Yields on 10-year Treasuries were only 4 basis points higher at the close of the
period compared to where they ended the previous fiscal year. Mortgage-backed
securities (MBS), which comprise the majority of the WM U.S. Government
Securities Fund, tend to do fairly well in a rising-rate environment. This held
true during the period, particularly among issues with lower coupon rates.
The Fund benefited from an overweighting in these types of issues. Holdings
among whole-loan collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), which are non-U.S.
agency securities, also had a positive impact. These issues benefited from their
position on the long end of the yield curve and from spread tightening between
these securities and agency issues. The Fund's underweighting in 15-year MBS
also assisted relative

investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 4.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will
decline as interest rates rise. Neither the principal of government bond funds
nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Performance of other share classes will differ.
See glossary on page 36 for definitions of indices and terms.
(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower. The Fund's
performance between 1998 and 2000 benefited from the agreement of WM
Advisors and its affiliates to limit the Fund's expenses. On 3/1/04, the
investment policies of the Fund were modified. As a result, the Fund's
performance for periods prior to that date may not be representative of the
performance it would have achieved had its current investment policies been
in place.

performance, as these issues underperformed longer-term bonds.
In contrast, performance was hurt due to the Fund's lack of hybrid adjustable
rate mortgages (ARMs), a category that did well during the period. We chose not
to invest in this category, believing that the spreads on these securities might
not adequately reflect prepayment conditions. However, we continue to examine
opportunities within hybrid ARMs and may choose to enter the longer-term end of
this market segment next year.
The Fund also was negatively impacted by its slightly shorter duration during
most of the period. (Duration is a measure of price sensitivity to interest rate
changes.) The Fund's shorter duration primarily resulted from its short-term
CMOs, and these issues underperformed other areas of the mortgage market.
Underperformance was also true for the Fund's Treasury and agency issues.
There were a few small changes in Fund allocations during the year. We added to
lower-coupon Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issues. We also reduced Treasuries and
cash equivalents to manage Fund duration and cash flows.
Looking forward, we believe mortgage securities are likely to be range-bound in
the short term while the Fed delays a change in monetary policy. These
conditions could be somewhat beneficial, since mortgages tend to perform better
when volatility is limited. However, there is also the potential for any mixed
economic data to increase uncertainty about the Fed's next course of action, and
uncertainty can be detrimental to mortgages.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Over the course of the fiscal year, corporate earnings remained strong while
economic growth initially accelerated and then slowed. To rein in inflationary
pressures, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds target rate
six times before pausing at a target rate of 5.25%. The yield curve (the
difference in yields between 2- and 10-year Treasuries) inverted dramatically
during the period. However, yields on longer-term bonds barely moved, and these
bonds outperformed shorter-term issues.
A variety of corporate issues contributed to the WM Income Fund's relative
outperformance for the year. TexCal, a small oil exploration and production
firm, was bought out at a premium following a runup in energy prices. Covanta, a
waste services company, exited bankruptcy and issued warrants to bond holders.
Their sale added to Fund returns. United Air Lines also had a positive impact on
performance as airlines enjoyed improved financial conditions.
Issue selection among mortgage-backed bonds also benefited Fund performance.

(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower. The Fund's
performance in 1999 benefited from the agreement of WM Advisors and its

WM Advisors, Inc.
The Fund's mortgage holdings generally have a higher duration, and their prices
followed the period's outperformance by longer-dated Treasuries.
However, several corporates slightly detracted from Fund results, particularly
those that were affected by leveraged buyout (LBO) offers. Issues of Harrah's, a
casino operator, and HCA, a hospital operator, declined as these companies
considered LBO deals. Health Management Associates also declined in sympathy
with the HCA announcement.
Allocation changes were generally based on security- or industry-specific
considerations. For example, we sold the last of the Fund's auto positions due
to our negative view of their long-term prospects. In contrast, we added a
high-yield position (Mirant Americas Generation) to the Fund's utilities
holdings, and we continue to favor utilities as a sector that can offer
protection from LBOs.
In the latter half of the year, the economy reached an inflection point when a
pause by the Fed looked imminent. In anticipation of this change, we added to
Treasuries to help slightly extend the Fund's duration. This strategy proved
to be a net positive for the Fund.
Our outlook anticipates that further slowing in the economy and contained
inflation will permit the Fed to begin cutting short-term interest rates early
in 2007. Should the slowing economy edge closer to a recession, we would look to
favor corporates over mortgages. However, we believe that a recession is
unlikely. For the near term, the Fund will continue to hold an overweighted
position in mortgages, a neutral weighting in corporates, and a slightly longer
duration stance.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The WM High Yield Fund continued to benefit from the generally positive
environment for riskier assets during the fiscal year. Economic growth
accelerated and then slowed, and these developments provoked rising inflation
fears that later eased. To stay ahead of inflation, the Federal Reserve (the
Fed) continued raising short-term interest rates before finally pausing in the
second half of 2006. Despite the Fed's substantial raising of rates,
intermediate-term Treasuries barely moved. The high-yield segment of the
intermediate-term bond market significantly outperformed Treasuries.
The Fund built relative outperformance through a variety of issues, coupled with
a general lack of problematic holdings. TexCal, a small oil firm, was bought out
at a premium price following a runup in energy prices. Airline holdings
benefited from an improved balance between supply and demand in the industry.
Health care real estate investment trusts (REITs) also contributed positively to
performance. Late in the period, pharmaceutical firm ICOS agreed to a buyout by
Eli Lilly (with which ICOS has a joint venture), and again the premium terms of
this pending deal benefited the Fund's position.
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852.Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 4.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will
decline as interest rates rise. Lower-rated securities are subject to additional
credit and default risks. International investing involves increased risks due
to currency fluctuations, political or social instability, and differences in
accounting standards. REIT securities are subject to risk factors associated
with the real estate industry and tax factors of REIT registration.

Despite strongly positive performance by Fund holdings, a few issues slightly
detracted from results. The notes of HCA, a hospital operator, declined as the
company considered a leveraged buyout. The issues of 155 East Tropicana (Hooters
Casino Hotel) also declined following a slow launch by this start-up casino.
The Fund's lack of auto industry bonds also caused it to miss out on gains
recently built by this sector. We remain pessimistic about the long-term
prospects for specific auto manufacturers, but we have found certain positions
in related industries that could benefit from the sector's improvements.
We made limited changes to overall portfolio composition during the period. We
added to utilities and reduced convertibles. The Caa rating sector increased due
to additional purchases, the downgrade of Tenet Healthcare, and formerly
non-rated HealthSouth entering this credit quality sector.
We continue to regard high-yield valuations as fair to slightly better than
fair. Despite an anticipated economic slowdown, the avoidance of a recession
would support valuations. But the lower quality of new issuance also poses some
concerns, as do ongoing low default rates that we think are adding to market
complacency. We continue to emphasize sectors that we believe offer attractive
opportunities over the long term.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Against a backdrop of strong economic growth, good employment data, and
inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued its tightening
campaign during the first eight months of the fiscal year, raising the federal
funds target rate six times to 5.25% by the end of June. In the months that
followed, however, economic growth moderated while inflation concerns eased,
prompting the Fed to keep its target rate unchanged for the remainder of the
period. Short-term municipal bonds posted the lowest returns within the
municipal bond market as Fed rate increases moved yields in this portion of the
curve higher. Conversely, yields on long-term municipal bonds fell dramatically
in the latter months of the period, causing this segment of the market to earn
the best returns.
Mirroring national trends, California municipal bond issuance declined during
the fiscal year, but the state remained the largest issuer. California's
unemployment rate is slightly higher than the nation's average but has been
improving, and income levels remain
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher or
lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852. Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 4.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will
decline as interest rates rise. A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to
state and/or local taxes, and it may be subject to federal alternative minimum
tax (AMT) for certain investors.

Performance of other share classes will differ.
See glossary on page 36 for definitions of indices and terms.
(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower. The Fund's
performance between 1995 and 1999 benefited from the agreement of WM
Advisors and its affiliates to limit the Fund's expenses.

above average. In addition, the state's financial and credit conditions
continued to improve, leading to a credit upgrade in May by both Moody's and
Standard & Poor's to A1 and A+, respectively.
We implemented two general strategies that were the primary drivers of
performance by the WM California Municipal Fund. First, we sought opportunities
to enhance the portfolio's yield while still maintaining a focus on quality
bonds. We added to the Fund's holdings of high-yield securities that, in our
opinion, offered favorable characteristics, and we decreased the Fund's exposure
to higher-quality, lower-yielding bonds. This strategy nearly doubled the Fund's
exposure to securities rated Baa, which proved quite beneficial as strong demand
caused lower-rated bonds to outperform higher-rated bonds.
Second, we emphasized the long end of the yield curve, favoring bonds with
maturities of 25 to 30 years or more. We increased these holdings to 52% as of
the end of the period, up from 35% one year earlier.This yield-curve positioning
served the Fund well as longer-dated issues outperformed shorter-maturity bonds.
In keeping with our focus on higher-yielding securities, we added to the Fund's
holdings in tobacco revenue bonds, which have benefited from both strong market
demand and a favorable litigation environment. Our decision to increase the
Fund's exposure to this sector added to performance as valuations dramatically
improved. We also purchased additional land development issues. The Fund
remained well diversified, however, across the major sectors of the municipal
market.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Against a backdrop of strong economic growth, good employment data, and
inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued its tightening
campaign during the first eight months of the fiscal year, raising the federal
funds target rate six times to 5.25% by the end of June. In the months that
followed, however, economic growth moderated while inflation concerns eased,
prompting the Fed to keep its target rate unchanged for the remainder of the
period. Short-term municipal bonds posted the lowest returns within the
municipal bond market as Fed rate increases moved yields in this portion of the
curve higher. Conversely, yields on long-term municipal bonds fell dramatically
in the latter months of the period, causing this segment of the market to earn
the best returns.
Mirroring national trends, California municipal bond issuance declined during
the fiscal year, but the state remained the largest issuer. California's
unemployment rate is slightly higher than the nation's average but has been
improving, and income levels remain above average. In addition, the state's

investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A sales charge may apply as follows: Class A shares:
maximum up-front sales charge of 4.5%; Class B shares: contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class C shares:
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made during the first 12
months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge
reflects the maximum sales charge noted above.
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will
decline as interest rates rise. A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to
state and/or local taxes, and it may be subject to federal alternative minimum
tax (AMT) for certain investors.

Performance of other share classes will differ.
See glossary on page 36 for definitions of indices and terms.
(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower. The Fund's
performance between 1995 and 2003 benefited from the agreement of WM
Advisors and its affiliates to limit the Fund's expenses.
(2) Net asset value is not adjusted for sales charge.

cial and credit conditions continued to improve, leading to a credit upgrade in
May by both Moody's and Standard & Poor's to A1 and A+, respectively.
We implemented two general strategies that were the primary drivers of
performance by the WM California Insured Intermediate Municipal Fund. First, we
sought opportunities to enhance the portfolio's yield while still maintaining a
focus on quality bonds. While adhering to the Fund's investment guidelines, we
added to holdings of higher-yielding bonds that, in our opinion, offered
favorable characteristics, and we decreased exposure to higher-quality,
lower-yielding bonds. This strategy proved quite beneficial as strong demand
caused lower-rated bonds to outperform higher-rated bonds.
Second, we emphasized the longer end of the yield curve, favoring bonds with
maturities of 12 to 15 years. We increased holdings with maturities of 10 to 15
years to 35% and those with maturities of 8 to 9 years to 29% as of the end of
the period. This yield-curve positioning served the Fund well as longer-dated
issues outperformed shorter-maturity bonds.
In keeping with our focus on higher-yielding securities, we added to the Fund's
holdings in tobacco revenue bonds, which have benefited from both strong market
demand and a favorable litigation environment. Our decision to increase the
Fund's exposure to this sector added to performance as valuations dramatically
improved. We also purchased additional land development bonds. The Fund remained
well diversified, however, across the major sectors of the municipal market.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
BETA:
A quantitative measure of a Fund's historical volatility relative to the overall
market (S&P 500). A beta above 1 indicates more volatility than the market, and
a beta below 1 indicates less volatility. Results are calculated using
three-month rolling returns for Class A shares for the three-year period ended
10/31/06. Source: Lipper, Inc.
BOND RATINGS:
Provided by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's). If an issue is not rated by
Moody's, its Standard & Poor's rating or Fitch rating is converted to the
equivalent Moody's rating and incorporated (non-rated issues are not classified
by these rating services). The ratings represent the company's opinion of the
credit quality of securities and are intended to reflect the issuer's ability to
pay back principal and interest.
STANDARD DEVIATION:
Measures the historical fluctuation of returns around the arithmetic average
return of the investment. The higher the standard deviation (as one measure of
risk), the greater the variability of the investment returns. Results are
calculated for the three-year period ended 10/31/06, and Fund results are for
Class A shares. Sources: Ibbotson Associates and Lipper, Inc.

Expense Information
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
As a shareholder of the REIT Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth & Income Fund,
West Coast Equity Fund, Mid Cap Stock Fund, Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund,
Small Cap Growth Fund, International Growth Fund, Short Term Income Fund, U.S.
Government Securities Fund, Income Fund, High Yield Fund, California Municipal
Fund, or California Insured Intermediate Municipal Fund (collectively, the
"Funds"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales
charges (loads) on purchase of Class A shares, and, if applicable, contingent
deferred sales charges on redemption of shares and redemption fees and (2)
ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and
other Fund expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs
with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period May 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.
ACTUAL EXPENSES:
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account
values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns,
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 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the
number in the third column 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical
account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (rather than
each Fund's actual rate of return). The hypothetical account values and expenses
may not be used to estimate the actual ending balance or expenses you paid for
the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of
investing in the Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5%
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales
charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in
comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare the relative total
costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional
costs were included, the cost shown would have been higher.

WM GROUP OF FUNDS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
WM Trust I ("Trust I") and WM Trust II ("Trust II") (collectively, the "Trusts")
were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on September 19, 1997 and
February 22, 1989, respectively. The Trusts are each registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as open-end management
investment companies. The Trusts consist of 17 funds, 15 of which (each a "Fund"
and collectively, the "Funds") are presented in this report and are as follows:
TRUST I TRUST II
EQUITY FUNDS EQUITY FUNDS
REIT Fund Growth Fund
Equity Income Fund Small Cap Growth Fund
Growth & Income Fund International Growth Fund
West Coast Equity Fund
Mid Cap Stock Fund
Small Cap Value Fund
FIXED-INCOME FUNDS FIXED-INCOME FUND
U.S. Government Securities Fund Short Term Income Fund
Income Fund
High Yield Fund
MUNICIPAL FUNDS
California Municipal Fund
California Insured Intermediate Municipal Fund
WM Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") serves as investment advisor to the Trusts.
The Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc. ("Washington
Mutual"), a publicly owned financial services company.
The Trusts are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest, each without par value. Each of the Fixed-Income Funds and the Equity
Funds offers four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I. Each
of the Municipal Funds currently offers Class A shares, Class B shares and Class
C shares. Class A shares of the Funds are generally subject to an initial sales
charge at the time of purchase. Certain Class A shares purchased without an
initial sales charge may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC") if redeemed within eighteen months from the date of purchase. Class B
shares are not subject to an initial sales charge although they are generally
subject to a CDSC if redeemed within five years from the date of purchase. Class
C shares are not subject to an initial sales charge although they are subject to
a CDSC if redeemed within one year from the date of purchase. In addition,
redemptions from the International Growth Fund, including exchange redemptions,
within 90 days of purchase are subject to a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the
redemption proceeds, which are retained by the Fund. Class I shares are sold
exclusively to the various investment portfolios of the WM Strategic Asset
Management Portfolios, LLC (the "Portfolios"), an affiliated open-end management
investment company, and affiliates of Washington Mutual and are not available
for direct purchase by investors. Class I shares are not subject to an initial
sales charge, CDSC or redemption fee.
Effective on October 1, 2006, (i) the Rule 12b-1 plans applicable to Class R-1
and Class R-2 shares of each Fund were amended to reduce the amounts payable for
distribution thereunder to the annual rate of 0.25% of the net assets
attributable to such shares, (ii) the plan recordkeeping/administrative services
agreement applicable to such shares was replaced with a transfer agency
agreement identical to the transfer agency agreement applicable to Class A
shares, (iii) the number of Class R-1 and Class R-2 shares was increased or
decreased proportionately so that the net asset value of each Class R-1 and
Class R-2 share was equal to the net asset value of each Class A share of the
Fund, and (iv) since the economic attributes of Class R-1 and Class R-2 shares
would thereafter be identical to those of Class A shares of such Fund, they were
re-designated as Class A shares of the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("generally accepted accounting principles"), which are consistently followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
119
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
PORTFOLIO VALUATION:
Securities that are primarily traded on a U.S. exchange (excluding securities
traded through the NASDAQ National Market System, which are valued at the NASDAQ
official closing price) are valued at the last reported sales price from that
exchange or, if there were no sales during the day (and no official closing
price on such day), at the mean of the current day's bid and asked prices.
Securities traded only on over-the-counter markets (other than the NASDAQ
National Market System and the U.S. Government Securities System) are valued at
the mean of the current day's bid and asked prices.
The value of a foreign security is determined in its functional currency as of
the close of trading on the foreign exchange on which it is traded or at the
close of the New York Stock Exchange, if that is earlier, or if there has been
movement in the U.S. market and/or other economic indicators that exceed a
specified threshold, the foreign security is fair valued. The value is then
converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent using prevailing exchange rates on the
day the value of the foreign security is determined.
Options are generally valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a last
sale price, at the mean of the current day's bid and asked prices. The value of
a futures contract equals the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which is
determined by marking the contract to the current settlement price for a like
contract acquired on the day on which the futures contract is being valued.
Debt securities of U.S. issuers (other than short-term investments), including
municipal securities, are valued by one or more independent pricing services
retained by the Trusts. When, in the judgment of a pricing service, market
quotations for these securities are readily available, they are valued at the
mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Short-term debt securities that
mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined by, or under the direction of, the Funds' Board of
Trustees, which may rely on the assistance of one or more pricing services.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreement transactions. A repurchase
agreement is a purchase of an underlying debt obligation subject to an agreement
by the seller to repurchase the obligation at an agreed upon price and time. It
is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying
collateral securities. The fair value of the collateral is at all times at least
equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of
counterparty default, the Fund would seek to use the collateral to offset losses
incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed
or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities,
including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying
securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The
Advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trusts,
reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and
broker/dealers with whom each Fund enters into repurchase agreements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS:
Certain Funds may enter into futures transactions. The underlying value of a
futures contract is incorporated within the unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation) shown in the Portfolio of Investments under the
caption "Futures Contracts."
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the
broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of
the contract amount (known as an initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments
(known as variation margins) are made or received by the Fund each day,
depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. The daily
changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, and the
Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. Should
market conditions change unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated
benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures
transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the
price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.
PURCHASED OPTION CONTRACTS:
Certain Funds may enter into put and call option contracts. These Funds may use
option contracts to manage their exposure to the stock and bond markets and to
fluctuations in interest rates and currency values. Upon entering into a put or
call option, the premium paid is recorded as an investment. The daily changes in
contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. When a purchased
option expires, the Fund will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the
option. When the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund will
realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing
sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option plus related
transaction costs. When the Fund exercises a put option, the Fund will realize a
gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such
sale will be decreased by
120
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of
the security, which the Fund purchases upon exercise, will be increased by the
premium originally paid. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited
to the premium originally paid.
FOREIGN CURRENCY:
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 on a daily basis using prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and
sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the
respective dates of such transactions.
Unrealized gains and losses, not relating to securities, which result from
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, have been included in unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation) of investments. Unrealized gains and losses of
securities, which result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well
as changes in market prices of securities, have been included in unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation) of investments. Net realized foreign currency gains
and losses, which result from changes in exchange rates between trade date and
settlement date on investment transactions as well as the difference between the
amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the
amount actually received, have been included in realized gains/(losses) on
investment transactions. Foreign currency gains and losses, which result from
fluctuations in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and
subsequent sale trade date, have been included in realized gains/(losses) on
investment transactions.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS:
Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts. Forward foreign
currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a
future date and at a specified price. These Funds may use forward foreign
currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to
manage the Funds' foreign currency exposure. These contracts are valued daily,
and a Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the
contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange
rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the
reporting date, is included in the "Statements of Assets and Liabilities."
Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the "Statements of
Operations." Due to the risks, the Funds could incur losses up to the entire
contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown in the
"Statements of Assets and Liabilities."
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS:
Each Fund may invest a portion of its net assets in securities that are not
readily marketable, including: (1) repurchase agreements with maturities greater
than seven calendar days; (2) time deposits maturing in more than seven calendar
days; (3) certain futures contracts and options; (4) certain variable rate
demand notes having a demand period of more than seven calendar days; (5)
securities, the disposition of which are restricted under federal securities
laws, excluding certain Rule 144A securities, as defined in the following
paragraph; and (6) certain over-the-counter options.
Illiquid securities generally cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business (within seven calendar days) at approximately the value at
which each Fund has valued the investments. This may have an adverse effect on
each Fund's ability to dispose of particular illiquid securities at fair market
value and may limit the Fund's ability to obtain accurate market quotations for
purposes of valuing the securities and calculating the net asset value per share
of the Fund. The Funds may also purchase securities that are not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), but that can be sold
to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Act
("Rule 144A Securities"). Rule 144A Securities generally must be sold only to
other qualified institutional buyers. If a particular investment in Rule 144A
Securities is not determined to be liquid under the guidelines established by
the Board of Trustees, the investment will be subject to a Fund's limitation on
investment in illiquid securities as indicated above.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME:
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income is not accrued
until settlement date. Each Fund instructs the custodian to segregate assets of
the Fund with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued
purchase commitments.
Interest income on debt securities is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts are
amortized using the interest method. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed
and asset-backed securities are presented as an adjustment to interest income.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends
from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information is available to
the Funds if informed after the ex-dividend date. The Funds estimate components
of distributions
121
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
from real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Distributions received in excess
of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments.
Each Fund's investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are
allocated among the classes of that Fund based upon the relative average net
assets of each class.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Dividends from net investment income of the Fixed-Income Funds and the Municipal
Funds will normally be declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends from net
investment income of the REIT and Equity Income Funds are declared and paid
quarterly. Dividends from any net investment income of the Growth & Income, West
Coast Equity, Mid Cap Stock, Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, and
International Growth Funds are declared and paid annually. Distributions of any
net capital gains earned by a Fund are distributed no less frequently than
annually at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Additional distributions of
net investment income and capital gains for each Fund may be made at the
discretion of the Board of Trustees of the Trusts in accordance with federal
income tax regulations.
Distributions from income and capital gains are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of
income and gains on various investment securities held by the Funds, dividends
payable, redesignated distributions and differing characterization of
distributions made by each Fund.At October 31, 2006, the following adjustments
have been reflected in the components of net assets on the "Statements of Assets
and Liabilities"to present these balances on an income tax basis, excluding
certain temporary differences.

California Municipal Fund ......... -- (26) 26
California Insured Intermediate
Municipal Fund ................. -- (3) 3
The above adjustments are not reflected in the calculation of net investment
income per share in the Financial Highlights.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
It is each Fund's policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by
complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), applicable to regulated investment companies and by distributing
substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income or excise tax provision is required.
EXPENSES:
General expenses of the Trusts are allocated to all the Funds of the Trusts
based upon the relative average net assets of each Fund except printing and
postage expenses, which are allocated to all the Funds based upon the relative
number of shareholder accounts of each Fund. Operating expenses directly
attributable to a class of shares are charged to the operations of that class of
shares. Expenses of each Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any
class of shares are prorated among the classes to which the expenses relate
based on the relative average net assets of each class of shares.
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

WM Shareholder Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Washington Mutual, serves as the transfer agent of the Funds. Fees are paid
to the Transfer Agent for services related to the issuance and transfer of
shares, maintaining shareholder lists, and issuing and mailing distributions and
reports. For such services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee per open and
closed account, in addition to reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The Transfer Agent is entitled to a monthly fee based upon an annual rate of
$20.00 per open account for all Class A, Class B and Class C shareholder
accounts. Class I shares are not subject to shareholder servicing fees.
Custodian fees for certain Funds have been reduced by credits allowed by the
Funds'custodian for uninvested cash balances. The Funds could have invested this
cash in income producing securities. Fees reduced by credits allowed by the
custodian for the year ended October 31, 2006, are shown separately in the
"Statements of Operations."
4. TRUSTEES' FEES
No officer or employee of Washington Mutual or its subsidiaries receives any
compensation from the Trusts for serving as an officer or Trustee of the Trusts.
The Trusts, together with other mutual funds advised by the Advisor, pay each
Trustee who is not an officer or employee of Washington Mutual or its
subsidiaries a per annum retainer plus attendance fees for each meeting at which
they are present. The Chairman, Committee Chairs and Committee Members receive
additional remuneration for these services to the Trusts. Trustees are also
reimbursed for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. Each Trustee serves in the
same capacity for all 40 funds within the WM Group of Funds.
5. DISTRIBUTION PLANS
WM Funds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a registered broker/dealer and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, serves as distributor for the
Funds. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor received $17,245,270
representing commissions (front-end sales charges) on Class A shares and
$2,507,219 representing CDSCs from Class A, Class B, and Class C shares.
Each of the Funds has adopted distribution plans, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act, applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Fund
(each, a "Rule 12b-1 Plan"), respectively. There are no 12b-1 Plans applicable
to Class I shares of the Funds. Under the applicable Rule 12b-1 Plans, the
Distributor may receive a service fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of each class. In addition, the Distributor is paid a fee as
compensation in connection with the offering and sale of Class B and Class C
shares. These fees may be used to cover the expenses of the Distributor
primarily intended to result in the sale of such shares, including payments to
the Distributor's representatives or others for selling shares. The service
123

WM GROUP OF FUNDS
fee is paid by the Fund to the Distributor, which in turn pays service fees to
broker/dealers that provide services, such as accepting telephone inquiries,
transaction requests, processing correspondence, new account applications and
subsequent purchases for the shareholders. Under their terms, each Rule 12b-1
Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is
approved annually by vote of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trusts, as defined in the
1940 Act, and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation
of such distribution plans, or any agreements related to such plans,
respectively.
6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding
U.S. government and short-term investments, for the year ended October 31, 2006,

7. LENDING OF SECURITIES
Certain Funds may lend securities to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations to earn additional income. The Funds also continue to receive
interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Each security loan is
collateralized with collateral assets in an amount equal to or greater than the
current market value of the loaned securities. There is a risk of delay in
receiving collateral, that the collateral could lose value or become valueless,
or in recovering the securities loaned or even a loss of rights in collateral
should the borrower fail financially.
At October 31, 2006, each of the Funds with outstanding loans of securities to
certain brokers, dealers or other financial institutions has segregated cash
and/or securities at least equal to the market value of securities loaned with
the Funds' custodian. The Funds currently invest the segregated cash in Mellon
GSL DBT II, which is a common collective trust that invests in high-grade
short-term investments.

From time to time, one or more of the Funds used for investment by a Portfolio
may experience relatively large investments or redemptions due to reallocations
or rebalancings of the Portfolios by the Advisor. These transactions will affect
the Funds, since the Funds that experience redemptions as a result of the
reallocations or rebalancings may have to sell portfolio securities and since
the Funds that receive additional cash will have to invest such cash. While it
is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time,
there could be adverse effects on portfolio management to the extent that the
Funds may be required to sell securities or invest cash at times when they would
not otherwise do so. These transactions could also have tax consequences if
sales of securities resulted in gains and could also increase transaction costs.
The Advisor is committed to minimizing such impact on the Funds to the extent it
is consistent with pursuing the investment objectives of the Portfolios. The
Advisor may nevertheless face conflicts in fulfilling its dual responsibilities
to the Portfolios and the Funds. The Advisor will, at all times, monitor the
impact on the Funds of transactions by the Portfolios.

11. INDUSTRY AND GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION AND OTHER RISK FACTORS
While no individual fund is intended as a complete investment program, this is
especially true for funds that concentrate their investments, such as those
investing in particular industries or regions.
The REIT Fund concentrates its investments in real estate investment trust
("REIT") securities or debt securities of issuers that are principally engaged
in the U.S. real estate or related industries. The REIT Fund could be adversely
impacted by economic trends within this industry.
The West Coast Equity Fund concentrates its investments in companies located or
doing business in Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington. The West Coast
Equity Fund could be adversely impacted by economic trends within this region.
The International Growth Fund concentrates its investments in foreign securities
in both developed and emerging market countries. Additional risks may involve
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic
developments, and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign
governmental laws or restrictions. Investments in emerging markets are subject
to additional risk as less developed countries are more likely to experience
high levels of inflation, deflation, or currency devaluation, which could harm
their economies and securities markets.
The High Yield Fund concentrates its investments in lower rated debt securities,
which may be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions than investment
grade holdings. These securities are often subordinated to the prior claims of
other senior lenders, and uncertainties may exist as to an issuer's ability to
meet principal and interest payments.
The California Municipal and California Insured Intermediate Municipal Funds are
more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of California municipal
securities than is a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in these
issuers. Uncertain economic conditions or governmental developments may affect
the ability of California municipal securities issuers to meet their financial
obligations.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
Certain Funds may invest a portion of their assets in foreign securities of
developing or emerging market countries; enter into forward foreign currency
transactions; lend their portfolio securities; enter into stock index, interest
rate and currency futures contracts, and options on such contracts; enter into
interest rate swaps or purchase or sell interest rate caps or floors; enter into
other types of options transactions; make short sales; purchase zero coupon and
payment-in-kind bonds; enter into repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements;
purchase and sell "when-issued" securities and engage in "delayed-delivery"
transactions; and enter into various other investment practices, each with
inherent risks. The risks involved in investing in a high concentration of a
single sector include those resulting from future adverse political and economic
developments or regulatory occurrences and the potential for adverse effects to
the financial conditions of the industries within the sector due to market
fluctuations.
12. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED SECURITIES

13. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes."
This pronouncement provides guidance on the recognition, measurement,
classification, and disclosures related to uncertain tax positions, along with
any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact from the adoption of FIN 48 is
being evaluated, but is not anticipated to have a material effect on the
financial statements.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
157 Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157") was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.
14. REORGANIZATION
On July 25, 2006, the Principal Financial Group, Inc. ("PFG") and its
subsidiary, Principal Management Corporation ("PMC") entered into an agreement
with Washington Mutual, Inc. to acquire all of the outstanding stock of certain
of its subsidiaries, WM Advisors, the Advisor of the Funds, WM Shareholder
Services, Inc., the Transfer Agent of the Funds, and WM Funds Distributor, Inc.,
the Distributor (the "Transaction"). On August 11, 2006, the Board of Trustees
approved proposed reorganizations (the "Reorganizations") pursuant to which each
of the following Funds (each, an "Acquired Fund") will combine with and into the
following corresponding separate series (each, an "Acquiring Fund") of Principal
Investors Fund, Inc. ("PIF"), subject to various conditions including the
approval of shareholders of each Acquired Fund. A special meeting of
shareholders will be held on December 15, 2006. Under the Reorganizations (i)
all the assets and the stated liabilities of each Acquired Fund will be
transferred to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class A, Class
B, Class C and Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) holders of Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the Acquired Fund will receive,
respectively, that number of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the
corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value at the time of the exchange to the
value of the holder's Acquired Fund shares at such time; and (iii) the Acquired
Fund will be liquidated and dissolved. The Transaction is expected to close in
December 2006, and the Reorganizations will occur shortly thereafter.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF WM TRUST I AND WM TRUST II:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of WM Equity Income Fund, WM Growth & Income
Fund, WM High Yield Fund, WM Income Fund, WM Mid Cap Stock Fund, WM REIT Fund,
WM Small Cap Value Fund, WM U.S. Government Securities Fund, and WM West Coast
Equity Fund (all funds of WM Trust I) and WM California Insured Intermediate
Municipal Fund, WM California Municipal Fund, WM Growth Fund, WM International
Growth Fund, WM Short Term Income Fund, and WM Small Cap Growth Fund (all funds
of WM Trust II) (collectively the "Funds") as of October 31, 2006, and the
related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. 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. The Funds
are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as 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; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. 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
Funds as of October 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then
ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Funds' investment advisory agreements with the Advisor and sub-advisory
agreements (each an "Agreement" and together the "Agreements") with Salomon
Brothers Asset Management, Inc., Janus Capital Management LLC, OppenheimerFunds,
Inc., Delaware Management Company, Oberweis Asset Management, Inc., Capital
Guardian Trust Company, and Van Kampen Asset Management (each a "Sub-Advisor"
and collectively the "Sub-Advisors") were approved in May and August, 2006. In
connection with their approval in August 2006 of investment advisory agreements
for the Funds substantially identical to the Funds' current Agreements, except
with respect to dates and in contemplation of the acquisition of the Advisor by
the Principal Financial Group, the Board of Trustees, Independent Trustees and
the Investment Committee of the Board (the "Committee") relied on the
information provided in connection with the approval of the corresponding
Agreements in May 2006, as supplemented by expense and performance information
provided by Lipper Inc., a third-party data provider ("Lipper"), for periods
ended June 30, 2006. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis
for the Committee's recommendation and the subsequent approval by the Board and
the Independent Trustees in August 2006 were the same as those in May 2006,
which are discussed below, except that the Board, the Independent Trustees and
the Committee also considered the supplemental expense and performance
information for periods ended June 30, 2006; representations by the Principal
Financial Group (see Note 14 in the Notes to Financial Statements) that,
subsequent to its acquisition of the Advisor in the Transaction, there is not
expected to be any reduction in the nature, quality and extent of services
provided to the Funds by the Advisor; the fact that the substantive terms of the
Agreements, including the advisory and sub-advisory fees payable thereunder,
were not changing; and representations by the Principal Financial Group that,
except as discussed with the Board of Trustees, no changes were expected in
either the Advisor's investment professionals who would be providing services to
the Funds or the amount of time and attention that would be devoted by such
investment professionals to the Funds.
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Each year, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, is
required to determine whether to continue the Agreements. The 1940 Act requires
that the Board request and evaluate, and that the investment advisor furnish,
such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of the
Agreements. In May 2006, the Board and the Independent Trustees approved the
continuation of the Agreements with, respectively, the Advisor and each of the
Sub-Advisors, in each case following the recommendation of the Committee, a
majority of the members of which are Independent Trustees, and the
recommendations of the Independent Trustees as a whole. The material factors and
conclusions that formed the basis for the Committee's recommendation and the
subsequent approval by the Board and the Independent Trustees are discussed
below.
REVIEW PROCESS:
The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice, including a written
memorandum, regarding the legal standards applicable to the consideration of
advisory arrangements from independent counsel to the Funds and the Independent
Trustees. The Independent Trustees discussed the continuation of the Agreements
with representatives of the Advisor and in private session with independent
legal counsel at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. The
Committee, in deciding to recommend continuation of the Agreements, and the
Board and the Independent Trustees, in approving such continuation, did not
identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and
each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees
evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their
deliberations were made separately in respect of each Fund. This summary
describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee. The Board, the Independent
Trustees and the Committee considered the fact that many of the Funds are
managed in a style substantially identical to that of a corresponding series of
WM Variable Trust (each, a "VT Fund") and reviewed the Funds simultaneously with
their review of the corresponding VT Funds.
MATERIALS REVIEWED:
During the course of each year, the Board receives a wide variety of materials
relating to the services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates, including
reports on: each Fund's investment results; portfolio construction; portfolio
composition; performance attribution; shareholder services; the Advisor's views
on the economy and capital markets; and other information relating to the
nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and its
affiliates to the Funds. In addition, in connection with its annual
consideration of the Agreements, the Board requests and reviews supplementary
information regarding the terms of the Agreements, performance and expense
information for other investment companies derived from data compiled by Lipper,
data on pre- and post-marketing profit margins for investment advisory
subsidiaries of publicly traded companies prepared by Lipper, as well as
additional information prepared by the Advisor, including financial and
profitability information regarding the Advisor and its affiliates, descriptions
of various functions undertaken by the Advisor, such as compliance monitoring
practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management
to the Funds. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee also
considered information regarding "revenue sharing" arrangements that the Advisor
and its affiliates have
130
Supplemental Information (unaudited) (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
entered into with various intermediaries that sell shares of the Funds. The
Board also requested and reviewed information relating to other services
provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates under other agreements,
including information regarding so-called "fall-out" benefits to the Advisor and
its affiliates due to their other relationships with the Funds, such as the
administrative services contract with the Advisor described below. The Board and
the Committee also received and reviewed comparative performance information
regarding the Funds at each of the quarterly Board and Committee meetings.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES:
Nature and Extent of Services -- In considering the continuation of the
Agreements, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee evaluated the
nature and extent of the services provided by the Advisor, its affiliates, and
the Sub-Advisors. For each Fund, the Advisor or the relevant Sub-Advisor, as
applicable, formulates the Fund's investment policies (subject to the terms of
the prospectus); analyzes economic trends and capital market developments;
evaluates the consistency, style and quality of the investment services provided
to the Fund; evaluates the risk/return characteristics of the Fund by reference
to the specific security holdings of the Fund; monitors the Fund's investment
performance; and reports to the Board and the Committee. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee considered information concerning the
investment philosophy and investment process used by the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors in managing the Funds. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the
Committee considered the in-house research capabilities of the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors as well as other resources available to the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors, including research services available to the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds. The
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the managerial and
financial resources available to the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors and concluded
that they would be sufficient to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations
under the Agreements. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
noted that the standard of care under the Agreements was comparable to that
typically found in mutual fund investment advisory agreements, and considered
the record of the Advisor in resolving potential disputes arising under its
investment advisory agreements with the WM Group of Funds in the best interests
of shareholders.
Quality of Services -- The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
considered the quality of the services provided by the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors and the quality of their resources that are available to the Funds.
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the investment
experience and professional qualifications of the personnel of the Advisor, its
affiliates and the Sub-Advisors and the size and functions of their staffs, as
well as the reputation of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors. In evaluating the
scope and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, the
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee members also drew on their
experiences as directors or Trustees of the VT Funds and, for certain Trustees,
other funds. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee also received
and reviewed information regarding the quality of non-investment advisory
services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates under other
agreements.
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that the
services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors have benefited and should
continue to benefit the Funds and their shareholders. The Board, the Independent
Trustees and the Committee concluded that the investment philosophies,
processes, and research capabilities of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors were
well suited to the Funds, given their investment objectives and policies. The
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that the scope of
the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors under the
Agreements was consistent with the Funds' operational requirements, including,
in addition to their investment objectives, compliance with the Funds'
investment restrictions, tax and reporting requirements and related shareholder
services. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that
the nature, scope and quality of the services provided by the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors were sufficient, in light of the resources dedicated by the Advisor
and the Sub-Advisors and their integrity, personnel, systems and financial
resources, to merit approval of the continuation of the Agreements.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE:
In their evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided
by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisors, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the
Committee considered the professional credentials and investment experience of
the Funds' portfolio managers. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the
Committee considered the Funds' record of compliance with investment
restrictions. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed
information comparing the Funds' historical performance to relevant market
indices or blends of market indices for the 1-, 3- and 5-year (or since
inception) periods ended March 31, 2006, and to average performance information
for peer groups, prepared by Lipper based on the performance of other investment
companies with similar investment objectives over the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year
periods (to the extent applicable) ended December 31, 2005. In the case of each
Fund that had performance that lagged that of a relevant peer group for certain
131
Supplemental Information (unaudited) (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
(although not necessarily all) periods, the Board, the Independent Trustees and
the Committee concluded that other factors relevant to performance were
sufficient, in light of other considerations, to warrant continuation of the
Agreements. Those factors varied from Fund to Fund, but included one or more of
the following: (i) that the Fund's performance, although lagging in certain
recent periods, was stronger over the longer term; (ii) that the
underperformance was attributable, to a significant extent, to investment
decisions that were reasonable and consistent with the Fund's investment
strategy and policies and that the Fund was performing as expected, given market
conditions and the Fund's investment strategy; (iii) that the Fund's performance
was competitive when compared to other relevant performance benchmarks or peer
groups; and (iv) that the Advisor had taken or was taking steps designed to
improve the Fund's investment performance. After reviewing the foregoing
factors, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that
the Advisor's and Sub-Advisors' performance records and investment processes
used in managing the Funds were sufficient to merit approval of the continuation
of the Agreements.
MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES:
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed information,
including comparative information provided by Lipper, regarding the advisory,
administrative, transfer agent, and service and distribution fees paid to the
Advisor, its affiliates, and the Sub-Advisors and the total expenses borne by
the Funds. They discussed trends in total expense ratios for the Funds. The
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed the transfer agency
fees paid by the Funds to the Transfer Agent and the distribution (12b-1) fees
paid to the Distributor. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
considered the Funds' management fees relative to those of their respective peer
groups as determined by Lipper. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the
Committee concluded that the fees to be charged under the Agreements bore a
reasonable relationship to the scope and quality of the services provided.
PROFITABILITY AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE:
Profitability -- The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed
information regarding the cost of services provided by the Advisor and its
affiliates and the profitability (before and after distribution expenses and
prior to taxes) of their relationships with the Funds. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee considered trends in the profitability of
the Advisor and its affiliates, and information provided by Lipper regarding the
pre- and post-marketing profitability of other investment advisers with publicly
traded parent companies. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
considered that the Advisor must be able to pay and retain experienced
professional personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Funds
(and in connection therewith, reviewed information regarding the structure of
compensation of the Advisor's investment professionals) and that maintaining the
financial viability of the Advisor is important in order for it to continue to
provide significant services to the Funds and their shareholders. In addition,
the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered information
regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Advisor receives as a result of
its relationship with the Funds, including compensation paid to the Advisor and
its affiliates under other agreements, such as transfer agency fees to the
Transfer Agent, and 12b-1 fees and sales charges to the Distributor, as well as
research provided to the Advisor in connection with portfolio transactions
effected on behalf of the Funds (soft dollar arrangements) and reputational
benefits. The Trustees did not evaluate the profitability to the Sub-Advisors of
their relationships with the Funds because the structure of the Agreements is
such that the fees payable to the Advisor are reduced by any fees payable to the
Sub-Advisors and they concluded that negotiations between the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors had been entirely at arm's-length.
Economies of Scale -- The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
reviewed the extent to which the Advisor may realize economies of scale in
managing and supporting the Funds and the current level of Fund assets in
relation to the breakpoints in the Funds' advisory fees. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the extent to which economies
of scale might be realized (if at all) by the Advisor across a variety of
products and services included within the WM Group of Funds.
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that the Funds'
cost structure was reasonable given the scope and quality of the services
provided to the Funds and that the Advisor was sharing any economies of scale
with the Funds and their shareholders.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee also considered possible
conflicts of interest associated with the provision of investment advisory
services by the Advisor to other clients. The Trustees considered the procedures
of the Advisor designed to fulfill its fiduciary duties to its advisory clients
with respect to possible conflicts of interest, including the codes of ethics,
the integrity of the systems in place to ensure compliance with the foregoing,
and the record of the Advisor in these matters.
132
Supplemental Information (unaudited) (continued)
WM GROUP OF FUNDS
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors
referred to above, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
concluded that the Agreements and the fees payable to the Advisor and the
Sub-Advisors are fair and reasonable to the Funds and their shareholders, given
the scope and quality of the services provided to the Funds and such other
considerations as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their
reasonable business judgment, and that the continuation of the Agreements was in
the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board and the
Independent Trustees unanimously approved the continuation of the Agreements.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Yields on money market investments closely follow monetary policy set by the
Federal Reserve (the Fed). During the WM Money Market Fund's 2006 fiscal year,
the Fed raised its target for the federal funds rate six times. These moves were
part of a tightening campaign that began in June 2004, after the target rate had
stood at 1.00% during the previous year.
The Fed continued raising short-term interest rates through the first half of
2006 as it sought to rein in elevated inflation levels. The target rose from
3.75% at the start of the fiscal year to 5.25% at the end of June. At subsequent
meetings in August, September, and October, the Fed held the target rate at
5.25% and noted that "...inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over
time..." Many market participants anticipate that the Fed's next move will be to
cut rates sometime in 2007, although its decision to do so, and market
speculation about it, will depend upon evolving economic conditions.
Over the fiscal year, the Fund's annualized 7-day simple yield increased from
3.24% to 4.81%. Most of the difference between the Fund's yield and the Fed's
target rate was due to Fund expenses. The Fund's assets also grew from $711
million to $1.2 billion over the fiscal period.
Data shown is past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current
performance, including the most recent month-end results, which may be higher
or lower than the data shown, can be obtained by calling 800-222-5852. Your
investment's return and principal value will fluctuate, so it may be worth more
or less upon redemption. A contingent deferred sales charge may apply as
follows: Class B shares: 5%, which declines over 5 years (5-5-4-3-2-0%); Class
C shares: 1% on redemptions made during the first 12 months. See the prospectus
for details. Performance listed with sales charge reflects the maximum sales
charge noted above.
An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to
preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the Fund.
The 7-day simple yield more closely reflects current Fund earnings than the
total return data.

(1) Performance reflects ongoing fund expenses, which may have been waived, and
assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. For Class C
shares, performance for periods prior to inception is hypothetical, based
on Class A share returns adjusted for the respective expenses of the share
class. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or
municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower. The Fund's
performance between 1995 and 2004 benefited from the agreement of WM
Advisors and its affiliates to limit the Fund's expenses.
(2) Net asset value is not adjusted for sales charge.
(3) The 7-day simple yield is calculated based on the income generated by an
investment in the Fund over a 7-day period and is expressed as an annual
percentage rate. The 7-day effective yield is calculated similarly to the
7-day simple yield but assumes that income earned from the Fund's
investments is reinvested and compounded.
(4) May not reflect the current portfolio composition.

Expense Information
WM MONEY MARKET FUND
As a shareholder of the Money Market Fund (the "Fund"), you incur two types of
costs: (1) transaction costs, including, if applicable, contingent deferred
sales charges on redemption of shares and (2) ongoing costs, including
management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. The
example below 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 is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period May 1, 2006, to October 31, 2006.
ACTUAL EXPENSES:
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account
values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns,
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 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the
number in the third column 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 section of the table below provides information about 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 (rather than
the Fund's actual rate of return). The hypothetical account values and expenses
may not be used to estimate the actual ending 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 mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5%
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as
contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the
table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare
the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these
transactional costs were included, the cost shown would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
WM Trust I (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
September 19, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. Information
presented in this report pertains only to the Money Market Fund (the "Fund").
The Money Market Fund is a diversified series of WM Trust I. Financial
statements for the other funds included in the Trust are presented in a separate
report.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest, each without par value. The Fund may offer four classes of shares:
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares. Class A and Class I shares are not
subject to an initial sales charge at the time of purchase. Certain Class A
shares purchased by exchange from another fund within the Trust may be subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if redeemed within eighteen
months from the date of purchase. Class B shares are not subject to an initial
sales charge although they are generally subject to a CDSC if redeemed within
five years from the date of purchase. Class C shares are not subject to an
initial sales charge although they are subject to a CDSC if redeemed within one
year from the date of purchase. Class I shares are currently offered only to the
WM Strategic Asset Management Portfolios, LLC, an open-end management investment
company, and affiliates of Washington Mutual, Inc. ("Washington Mutual"), a
publicly owned financial services company, and are not available for direct
purchase by investors. Class I shares are not subject to an initial sales charge
or CDSC.
WM Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Washington
Mutual, serves as investment advisor to the Fund.
Effective on October 1, 2006, (i) the Rule 12b-1 plans applicable to Class R-1
and Class R-2 shares of the Fund were amended to reduce the amounts payable for
distribution thereunder to the annual rate of 0.25% of the net assets
attributable to such shares, (ii) the plan recordkeeping/administrative services
agreement applicable to such shares was replaced with a transfer agency
agreement identical to the transfer agency agreement applicable to Class A
shares, (iii) the number of Class R-1 and Class R-2 shares was increased or
decreased proportionately so that the net asset value of each Class R-1 and
Class R-2 share was equal to the net asset value of each Class A share of the
Fund, and (iv) since the economic attributes of Class R-1 and Class R-2 shares
would thereafter be identical to those of Class A shares of the Fund, they were
re-designated as Class A shares of the Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("generally accepted accounting principles"), which are consistently followed by
the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION:
The investments of the Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, which approximates market value and
does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses. Amortized cost
valuation involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, as long
as the amortized cost fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per
share. Certain other assets may be valued by the Advisor under the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, which may rely on the assistance of one or more
pricing services.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreement transactions. A repurchase
agreement is a purchase of an underlying debt obligation subject to an agreement
by the seller to repurchase the obligation at an agreed upon price and time. It
is the Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying
collateral securities. The fair value of the collateral is at all times at least
equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of
counterparty default, the Fund would seek to use the collateral to offset losses
incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed
or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities,
including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying
securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The
Advisor, acting under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and
broker/dealers with whom the Fund enters into repurchase agreements.
11
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS:
The Fund may invest a portion of its net assets in securities that are not
readily marketable, including: (1) repurchase agreements with maturities greater
than seven calendar days; (2) time deposits maturing in more than seven calendar
days; (3) certain futures contracts and options; (4) certain variable rate
demand notes having a demand period of more than seven calendar days; (5)
securities, the disposition of which are restricted under federal securities
laws, excluding certain Rule 144A securities, as defined in the following
paragraph; and (6) certain over-the-counter options.
Illiquid securities generally cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of business (within seven calendar days) at approximately the value at
which the Fund has valued the investments. This may have an adverse effect on
the Fund's ability to dispose of particular illiquid securities at fair market
value and may limit the Fund's ability to obtain accurate market quotations for
purposes of valuing the securities and calculating the net asset value per share
of the Fund. The Fund may also purchase securities that are not registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), but that can be sold to
qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Act ("Rule
144A securities"). Rule 144A securities generally must be sold only to other
qualified institutional buyers. If a particular investment in Rule 144A
securities is not determined to be liquid under the guidelines established by
the Board of Trustees, that investment will be subject to a Fund's limitation on
investment in illiquid securities as indicated above.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME:
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income is not accrued
until settlement date. The Fund instructs the custodian to segregate assets of
the Fund with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued
purchase commitments.
Interest income on debt securities is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts are
amortized using the interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The Fund's investment income and realized and unrealized gains
and losses are allocated among the classes of the Fund based upon the relative
average net assets of each class.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Dividends from net investment income of the Fund will normally be declared daily
and paid monthly. Distributions of any net capital gains earned by the Fund are
distributed no less frequently than annually at the discretion of the Board of
Trustees. Additional distributions of net investment income and capital gains
for the Fund may be made at the discretion of the Board of Trustees in
accordance with federal income tax regulations.
Distributions from income and capital gains are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to timing differences and
differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund. At October 31,
2006, the accumulated net realized loss has been decreased by $12,234 and the
paid-in capital has been decreased by $12,234 which has been reflected in the
components of net assets on the "Statement of Assets and Liabilities" to present
these balances on an income tax basis, excluding certain temporary differences.
These adjustments are not reflected in the calculation of net investment income
per share presented in the Financial Highlights.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
It is the Fund's policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by
complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by distributing
substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income or excise tax provision is required.
EXPENSES:
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to all the Funds of the Trust based
upon the relative average net assets of each Fund except printing and postage
expenses, which are allocated to all the Funds based upon the relative number of
shareholder accounts of each Fund. Operating expenses directly attributable to a
class of shares are charged to the operations of that class of shares. Expenses
of each Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any class of shares
are prorated among the classes to which the expenses relate based on the
relative average net assets of each class of shares.
Custodian fees for the Fund have been reduced by credits allowed by the Fund's
custodian for uninvested cash balances. The Fund could have invested this cash
in income producing securities. Fees reduced by credits allowed by the custodian
for the year ended October 31, 2006, are shown separately in the "Statement of
Operations".
12
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
The Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.45% of the
Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.40% of the Fund's average
daily net assets over $1 billion.
On October 30, 2006, the Advisor reimbursed $29,491 for capital losses incurred
in previous years for the Money Market Fund.
WM Shareholder Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Washington Mutual, serves as the transfer agent of the Fund. Fees are paid to
the Transfer Agent for services related to the issuance and transfer of shares,
maintaining shareholder lists, and issuing and mailing distributions and
reports. For such services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee per open and
closed account, in addition to reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
The Transfer Agent is entitled to a monthly fee based upon an annual rate of
$20.00 per open account for all Class A, Class B and Class C shareholder
accounts. Class I shares are not subject to shareholder servicing fees.
At October 31, 2006, Washington Mutual and its affiliates owned 202,970,505
shares, 16.4% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
4. TRUSTEES' FEES
No officer or employee of Washington Mutual or its subsidiaries receives any
compensation from the Trust for serving as an officer or Trustee of the Trust.
The Trust, together with other mutual funds advised by the Advisor, pays each
Trustee who is not an officer or employee of Washington Mutual or its
subsidiaries a per annum retainer plus attendance fees for each meeting at which
they are present. The Chairman, Committee Chairs and Committee Members receive
additional remuneration for these services to the Trust. Trustees are also
reimbursed for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. Each Trustee serves in the
same capacity for all 40 funds within the WM Group of Funds.
5. DISTRIBUTION PLANS
WM Funds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a registered broker/dealer and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, serves as distributor for the
Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Distributor received $7,719
representing commissions (front-end sales charges) on Class A shares and
$160,374 representing CDSCs from Class A, Class B and Class C shares.
The Fund has adopted distribution plans, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act, applicable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund (each, a
"Rule 12b-1 Plan"), respectively. There are no 12b-1 Plans applicable to the
Class I shares of the Fund. Under the applicable Rule 12b-1 Plans, the
Distributor may receive a service fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of each class. The Trustees have not authorized, and the Fund
does not currently pay, service fees with respect to Class A shares. In
addition, the Distributor is paid a fee as compensation in connection with the
offering and sale of Class B and Class C shares. The distribution fees for Class
B and Class C shares are paid to the Distributor at annual rates of 0.75% of the
average daily net assets of such shares. These fees may be used to cover the
expenses of the Distributor primarily intended to result in the sale of such
shares, including payments to the Distributor's representatives or others for
selling shares. The service fee is paid by the Fund to the Distributor, which in
turn pays service fees to broker/dealers that provide services, such as
accepting telephone inquiries and transaction requests and processing
correspondence, new account applications and subsequent purchases for the
shareholders. Under their terms, each Rule 12b-1 Plan shall remain in effect
from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by vote of the
Board of Trustees, including a majority of those Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, and who have no
direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of such distribution
plans, or any agreements related to such plans, respectively.
13
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
6. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
At October 31, 2006, the Fund has $3,396 and $169 of unused capital losses
available for federal income tax purposes expiring on October 31, 2010 and 2011,
respectively.
7. COMPONENTS OF DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS
At October 31, 2006, the undistributed ordinary income on a tax basis is
$80,034.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes."
This pronouncement provides guidance on the recognition, measurement,
classification, and disclosures related to uncertain tax positions, along with
any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact from the adoption of FIN 48 is
being evaluated, but is not anticipated to have a material effect on the
financial statements.
In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
157 Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157") was issued and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the
adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.
9. REORGANIZATION
On July 25, 2006, the Principal Financial Group, Inc. ("PFG") and its
subsidiary, Principal Management Corporation ("PMC") entered into an agreement
with Washington Mutual, Inc. to acquire all of the outstanding stock of certain
of its subsidiaries, WM Advisors, the Advisor of the Funds, WM Shareholder
Services, Inc., the Transfer Agent of the Funds, and WM Funds Distributor, Inc.,
the Distributor (the "Transaction"). On August 11, 2006, the Board of Trustees
approved proposed reorganizations (the "Reorganizations") pursuant to which each
of the following Funds (each, an "Acquired Fund") will combine with and into the
following corresponding separate series (each, an "Acquiring Fund") of Principal
Investors Fund, Inc. ("PIF"), subject to various conditions including the
approval of shareholders of each Acquired Fund. A special meeting of
shareholders will be held on December 15, 2006. Under the Reorganizations (i)
all the assets and the stated liabilities of each Acquired Fund will be
transferred to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class A, Class
B, Class C and Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) holders of Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the Acquired Fund will receive,
respectively, that number of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the
corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value at the time of the exchange to the
value of the holder's Acquired Fund shares at such time; and (iii) the Acquired
Fund will be liquidated and dissolved. The Transaction is expected to close in
December 2006, and the Reorganizations will occur shortly thereafter.
As a result of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Acquired Funds will
become shareholders of the Acquiring Funds as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE TRUSTEES OF WM TRUST I AND SHAREHOLDERS OF WM MONEY MARKET FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of WM Money Market Fund (the "Fund") as of October
31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's 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. The Fund
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
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 Fund's 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation
of securities owned as of October 31, 2006, by correspondence with the
custodian. 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
Fund as of October 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Supplemental Information (unaudited)
CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund's investment advisory agreement with the Advisor (the "Agreement") was
approved in May and August, 2006. In connection with their approval in August
2006 of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund substantially identical
to the Fund's current Agreement, except with respect to dates and in
contemplation of the acquisition of the Advisor by the Principal Financial
Group, the Board of Trustees, Independent Trustees and the Investment Committee
of the Board (the "Committee") relied on the information provided in connection
with the approval of the Agreement in May 2006, as supplemented by expense and
performance information provided by Lipper Inc., a third-party data provider
("Lipper"), for periods ended June 30, 2006. The material factors and
conclusions that formed the basis for the Committee's recommendation and the
subsequent approval by the Board and the Independent Trustees in August 2006
were the same as those in May 2006, which are discussed below, except that the
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee also considered the
supplemental expense and performance information for periods ended June 30,
2006; representations by the Principal Financial Group (see Note 9 in the Notes
to Financial Statements) that, subsequent to its acquisition of the Advisor in
the Transaction, there is not expected to be any reduction in the nature,
quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor; the fact
that the substantive terms of the Agreement, including the advisory fees payable
thereunder, were not changing; and representations by the Principal Financial
Group that, except as discussed with the Board of Trustees, no changes were
expected in either the Advisor's investment professionals who would be providing
services to the Fund or the amount of time and attention that would be devoted
by such investment professionals to the Fund.
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT:
Each year, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, is
required to determine whether to continue the Agreement. The 1940 Act requires
that the Board request and evaluate, and that the investment advisor furnish,
such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of the
Agreement. In May 2006, the Board and the Independent Trustees approved the
continuation of the Agreement with the Advisor following the recommendation of
the Committee, a majority of the members of which are Independent Trustees, and
the recommendations of the Independent Trustees as a whole. The material factors
and conclusions that formed the basis for the Committee's recommendation and the
subsequent approval by the Board and the Independent Trustees are discussed
below.
REVIEW PROCESS:
The Independent Trustees received assistance and advice, including a written
memorandum, regarding the legal standards applicable to the consideration of
advisory arrangements from independent counsel to the Fund and the Independent
Trustees. The Independent Trustees discussed the continuation of the Agreement
with representatives of the Advisor and in private session with independent
legal counsel at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. The
Committee, in deciding to recommend continuation of the Agreement, and the Board
and the Independent Trustees, in approving such continuation, did not identify
any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each
Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. This summary
describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee. The Board, the Independent
Trustees and the Committee considered the fact that the Fund is managed in a
style substantially identical to that of a corresponding series of WM Variable
Trust ("VT Fund") and reviewed the Fund simultaneously with their review of the
corresponding VT Fund.
MATERIALS REVIEWED:
During the course of each year, the Board receives a wide variety of materials
relating to the services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates, including
reports on: the Fund's investment results; portfolio construction; portfolio
composition; performance attribution; shareholder services; the Advisor's views
on the economy and capital markets; and other information relating to the
nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and its
affiliates to the Fund. In addition, in connection with its annual consideration
of the Agreement, the Board requests and reviews supplementary information
regarding the terms of the Agreement, performance and expense information for
other investment companies derived from data compiled by Lipper, data on pre-
and post-marketing profit margins for investment advisory subsidiaries of
publicly traded companies prepared by Lipper, as well as additional information
prepared by the Advisor, including financial and profitability information
regarding the Advisor and its affiliates, descriptions of various functions
undertaken by the Advisor, such as compliance monitoring practices, and
information about the personnel providing investment management to the Fund. The
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee also considered information
regarding "revenue sharing" arrangements that the Advisor and its affiliates
have entered into with various intermediaries that sell shares of the Fund. The
Board also requested and reviewed information relating to other services
provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates under other agreements,
including information regarding so-called "fall-out" benefits to the Advisor and
its affiliates due to their other relationships with the Fund, such as the
administrative services contract with the Advisor described below. The Board and
the Committee also received and reviewed comparative performance information
regarding the Fund at each of the quarterly Board and Committee meetings.

Supplemental Information (unaudited) (continued)
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES:
Nature and Extent of Services -- In considering the continuation of the
Agreement, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee evaluated the
nature and extent of the services provided by the Advisor. The Advisor
formulates the Fund's investment policies (subject to the terms of the
prospectus); analyzes economic trends and capital market developments; evaluates
the consistency, style and quality of the investment services provided to the
Fund; evaluates the risk/return characteristics of the Fund by reference to the
specific security holdings of the Fund; monitors the Fund's investment
performance; and reports to the Board and the Committee. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee considered information concerning the
investment philosophy and investment process used by the Advisor in managing the
Fund. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the
in-house research capabilities of the Advisor as well as other resources
available to the Advisor, including research services available to the Advisor
as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the managerial and financial
resources available to the Advisor and concluded that they would be sufficient
to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreement. The Board,
the Independent Trustees and the Committee noted that the standard of care under
the Agreement was comparable to that typically found in mutual fund investment
advisory agreements, and considered the record of the Advisor in resolving
potential disputes arising under its investment advisory agreements with the WM
Group of Funds in the best interests of shareholders.
Quality of Services -- The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
considered the quality of the services provided by the Advisor and the quality
of their resources that are available to the Fund. The Board, the Independent
Trustees and the Committee considered the investment experience and professional
qualifications of the personnel of the Advisor and its affiliates and the size
and functions of their staffs, as well as the reputation of the Advisor. In
evaluating the scope and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the
Fund, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee members also drew on
their experiences as directors or Trustees of the VT Fund and, for certain
Trustees, other funds. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
also received and reviewed information regarding the quality of non-investment
advisory services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates under
other agreements.
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that the
services provided by the Advisor have benefited and should continue to benefit
the Fund and its shareholders. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the
Committee concluded that the investment philosophies, processes, and research
capabilities of the Advisor were well suited to the Fund, given its investment
objectives and policies. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
concluded that the scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor
under the Agreement was consistent with the Fund's operational requirements,
including, in addition to their investment objectives, compliance with the
Fund's investment restrictions, tax and reporting requirements and related
shareholder services. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
concluded that the nature, scope and quality of the services provided by the
Advisor were sufficient, in light of the resources dedicated by the Advisor and
their integrity, personnel, systems and financial resources, to merit approval
of the continuation of the Agreement.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE:
In their evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided
by the Advisor, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered
the professional credentials and investment experience of the Fund's portfolio
managers. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the
Fund's record of compliance with investment restrictions. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed information comparing the Fund's
historical performance to relevant market indices or blends of market indices
for the 1-, 3- and 5-year (or since inception) periods ended March 31, 2006, and
to average performance information for peer groups prepared by Lipper based on
the performance of other investment companies with similar investment objectives
over the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods (to the extent applicable) ended
December 31, 2005. After reviewing the foregoing factors, the Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that the Advisor's performance
record and investment processes used in managing the Fund were sufficient to
merit approval of the continuation of the Agreement.
MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES:
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed information,
including comparative information provided by Lipper, regarding the advisory,
administrative, transfer agent, and service and distribution fees paid to the
Advisor and its affiliates and the total expenses borne by the Fund. They
discussed trends in total expense ratios for the Fund. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed the transfer agency fees paid by
the Fund to the Transfer Agent and the distribution (12b-1) fees paid to the
Distributor. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered
the Fund's management fees relative to those of their respective peer groups as
determined by Lipper. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
concluded that the fees to be charged under the Agreement bore a reasonable
relationship to the scope and quality of the services provided.

Supplemental Information (unaudited) (continued)
PROFITABILITY AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE:
Profitability -- The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee reviewed
information regarding the cost of services provided by the Advisor and its
affiliates and the profitability (before and after distribution expenses and
prior to taxes) of their relationships with the Fund. The Board, the Independent
Trustees and the Committee considered trends in the profitability of the Advisor
and its affiliates, and information provided by Lipper regarding the pre- and
post-marketing profitability of other investment advisers with publicly-traded
parent companies. The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
considered that the Advisor must be able to pay and retain experienced
professional personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Fund (and
in connection therewith, reviewed information regarding the structure of
compensation of the Advisor's investment professionals) and that maintaining the
financial viability of the Advisor is important in order for it to continue to
provide significant services to the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, the
Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee considered information
regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Advisor receives as a result of
its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Advisor and
its affiliates under other agreements, such as transfer agency fees to the
Transfer Agent, and 12b-1 fees and sales charges to the Distributor, as well as
research provided to the Advisor in connection with portfolio transactions
effected on behalf of the Fund (soft dollar arrangements) and reputational
benefits.
Economies of Scale -- The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
reviewed the extent to which the Advisor may realize economies of scale in
managing and supporting the Fund and the current level of Fund assets in
relation to the breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fees. The Board, the
Independent Trustees and the Committee considered the extent to which economies
of scale might be realized (if at all) by the Advisor across a variety of
products and services included within the WM Group of Funds.
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee concluded that the Fund's
cost structure was reasonable given the scope and quality of the services
provided to the Fund and that the Advisor was sharing any economies of scale
with the Fund and its shareholders.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee also considered possible
conflicts of interest associated with the provision of investment advisory
services by the Advisor to other clients. The Trustees considered the procedures
of the Advisor designed to fulfill its fiduciary duties to its advisory clients
with respect to possible conflicts of interest, including the codes of ethics,
the integrity of the systems in place to ensure compliance with the foregoing,
and the record of the Advisor in these matters.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors
referred to above, the Board, the Independent Trustees and the Committee
concluded that the Agreement and the fees payable to the Advisor are fair and
reasonable to the Fund and its shareholders, given the scope and quality of the
services provided to the Fund and such other considerations as the Trustees
considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, and
that the continuation of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund
and its shareholders. The Board and the Independent Trustees unanimously
approved the continuation of the Agreement.

pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties,
obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and
liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the
Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(e) (1) Pre-approval Policies and Procedures
Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee of the registrant
will review and pre-approve or disapprove its principal accountant's engagement
for all services with the registrant and its principal accountant's engagement
for non-audit services with the registrant's investment advisor (not including a
sub-advisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted
or overseen by another investment advisor) and any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the investment advisor that provides
ongoing services to the funds in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(i) of Rule
2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and
financial reporting of the registrant.

were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule
2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(h) The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit
services that were rendered to the registrant's investment advisor (not
including any subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by another investment advisor), and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor
that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved
pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible
with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
