Quarterly Fund Commentary

For the quarter ending September 30, 2005, the Commerce Asset Allocation Fund provided a total return of 3.13% which compares favorably with the blended (S&P500, EAFE and Lehman) static benchmark return of 2.74%. This outperformance was directly related to the fund’s 2005 year-to-date overweighting of equities relative to the benchmark and the fund’s use of the Barclay’s Emerging Markets I Shares as a component of foreign equity. During the quarter, stocks outperformed bonds significantly and foreign stocks outperformed domestic issues. Therefore, he extra weighting in stocks helped on both counts.

Among the component segments, emerging market stocks were up 18.5%, developed international stocks were up 8.9%, mid cap growth and value stocks were up 5.6% and 3.1%, respectively and large cap value and growth issues were up 4.0% and 2.7%, respectively. The bond component declined 0.9% in a rising interest rate environment.
