OUR MESSAGE TO YOU

 

August 29, 2000

Dear Shareholder:

Both the broad stock and bond markets experienced relatively flat returns for the first half of 2000. Exceptions to otherwise flat returns were our Opportunity Fund, containing mainly mid-sized firms, which increased 9.13%, and a big advance in our Realty Fund, up 13.80% for the first half. Smaller and more value-based securities have begun to show positive returns while the broad market of larger growth companies are taking a pause from the torrid pace of the past decade.

The Federal Reserve’s increase in interest rates is beginning to provide a brake to our rapidly growing economy, which should be healthy in the long run. Excessively high prices of certain stocks, especially the highflying negative cash flow technology companies, will take more time to adjust to normal market valuations. The sustainability and growth in earnings and cash flows are the major determinates of value in the long run.

On the next several pages, we’ve commented on the performance of each of the Funds for the first half of the year. The first five pages of this Semi-Annual report include a review of each Funds relative performance as compared to the appropriate Index. The remainder of the report lists the stocks and bonds held in each of the funds as well as, other financial data and notes.

Thank you for your continued confidence during this turbulent financial market environment and we appreciate your stance as long-term investors. We will continue to offer our quality approach to security selection and portfolio management to meet your investing goals. As always, please feel free to call if you have questions.

  Sincerely,
 
 
  Timothy E. Johnson, President

How did the Growth Fund perform relative to the market?

The rate of return on the Growth Fund for the first half of 2000 was -2.22%. For the same six-month period, the Standard and Poors 500 Index returned -0.42%. U.S. equities, as represented by various market indexes, were generally flat to negative for the period. The Dow Jones Industrial Average returned -6.02% and the NASDAQ Index returned -2.46%.

Only four of the eleven S&P economic sectors experienced positive returns in the six-month period, which were health care (+23%), utilities (+13%), energy (+4%), and technology (+3%). The Growth Fund was helped by having greater weights than the Index in the health care and energy sectors. The technology weight in the Fund was close to that of the S&P 500 Index, and therefore, a rather neutral influence. The Growth Fund did not own any utility stocks and, as a result, did not participate in the good returns available in that sector. Sector weights within the fund did not change significantly during the period. The largest changes were a reduction of the allocation in consumer cyclical stocks from 15% early in the year to 11% as of June 30, 2000 and an increase in the health care allocation from 12% to 15%.

The Growth Fund remains a well-diversified equity fund with a large-cap growth bias. Valuation characteristics are similar to those of the S&P 500 Index. Following four years of very high equity returns, the first half of the year 2000 has been a disappointment. However, many forecasters believe that the Federal Reserve is finished with its program of increasing interest rates which could benefit the stock market for the last half of 2000.

How did the Opportunity Fund perform relative to the market?

The Opportunity Fund had a return of 9.13% compared to a return of 8.98% on the Standard & Poors MidCap Index (MidCap Index) for the first six months of 2000.

As was the case in the large-cap market, health care was one of the best performing sectors within the S&P MidCap Index with a return of 52%. The energy sector was in fact the strongest sector with a return of 55%. The Opportunity Fund had a greater weighting than the MidCap Index in both of these sectors. The technology and capital goods sectors were also strong performers in the period with returns of 33% and 25%, respectively. The largest allocation in the Opportunity Fund is to the technology sector with a weight of 30% as of June 30, 2000. The most significant changes in the six-month period involved the consumer cyclical and health care sectors. The health care allocation was increased from 10% to 16% in the period while consumer cyclical stocks were reduced from 20% to 13%.

The Opportunity Fund had a portfolio of 56 stocks as of June 30, 2000 with the top ten holdings representing 40% of the total fund value. The portfolio has a growth bias relative to the S&P MidCap Index. Consensus long-term earnings growth is at 24% for the portfolio versus 19% for the index companies. While midcap stock indexes outperformed large-cap indexes in the six-month period, there still remains a large disparity of performance favoring large-cap stocks over the past five years. And as a result, valuation is still more compelling in the midcap sector.

How did the Realty Fund perform relative to the market?

The Realty Fund had a rate of return of 13.80% for the first half of 2000 compared to a return of 13.18% for the National Association of Real Estate Investments Trust Index (NAREIT Index.) Real estate investment trust (REIT) securities benefited in the first half of 2000 from increased volatility and uncertainty in the broader market as the Federal reserve endeavored to extend the current economic expansion by raising interest rates. This change in sentiment caused investors to search out companies with stable earnings, predictable cash flows, higher dividends and attractive valuations. REITs fit that definition. A good way to gauge investor sentiment is to monitor flow of funds into mutual funds. In the second quarter alone, REITs saw positive cash flows of $389 million. That is the highest level since the first quarter in 1998. It appears that the solid underlying property fundamentals which fuel stable growth in earnings are gaining recognition in the market.

For the first half of 2000, MidCap stocks have done better than their large-cap counterparts. The Realty Fund has an average market capitalization of $2.4 billion vs. $755 million for the NAREIT index, so while the Fund has a larger capitalization vs. the Index, it still falls within the mid-cap area, and has performed well. Additionally, the Realty Fund also utilizes a growth approach where the estimated earnings growth for 2000 in the Fund is 14.7% vs. the Index’s estimated earnings growth of 7.03%. Expectations are that the current interest rate environment will further restrain new property development. As occupancy levels move up and the amount of new space being brought to the market slows, the price charged to tenants will increase, driving future growth, and benefiting REITs.

The Realty Fund continues to utilize a conservative quality approach when selecting individual securities. The strategy employed focuses on stocks with above average growth prospects within their peer group. The best performing property types through June 2000 were lodging (+19.6%), office/industrial (+16.1%), specialty (+17%) and apartments (+14.8%.) The worst performing property type through June 2000 was health care, which was up 2.3%.

How did the Fixed Income Fund perform relative to the market?

The Fixed Income Fund had a rate of return of 2.02% for the first half of 2000 as compared to a return of 3.22% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/ Corporate Index. The environment during the first six months of the year has been marked by rising interest rates as the Federal Reserve attempted to slow the pace of economic growth and by reduced Treasury bond supply as a result of federal budget surpluses. These two factors have combined to create a phenomenon known as a yield curve inversion, where short-term Treasury yields are higher than long-term Treasury yields. Short rates have been pushed higher by the Federal Reserves tight monetary policy, while long rates have been driven lower by federal budget surpluses. These surpluses have caused the Treasury Department to issue fewer Treasury bonds and buy back longer maturity Treasuries.

In this environment the Fixed Income Fund has lagged the performance of the Index. While the Fund’s longer weighted average maturity was beneficial to performance, the Fund’s emphasis on corporate bonds was detrimental to relative performance. Corporate bonds have lagged Treasuries as less issuance and buy-backs have bolstered Treasury bond prices. However, the fund’s emphasis on corporate bonds should be beneficial going forward as Corporate bond yields return to a more normal historical relationship to Treasuries.

The Fixed Income Fund continues its focus on high-quality securities. Each security within the Fund is rated investment-grade quality by both Moody’s and Standard and Poors, with over 90% of the assets rated “A” or better as indicated in the Quality Allocation Chart on this page. These highly rated securities are considered to have adequate to strong protection of principal and interest payments, and will help provide a stable portfolio valuation as economic circumstances change in the future.

How did the Municipal Income Fund perform relative to the market?

The Municipal Income Fund had a total rate of return of 2.78% for the first half of 2000 and compares to a return almost identical to the Lehman Five-Year General Obligation Index of 2.79%. Municipal bonds provided returns very comparable to taxable bond returns during this period and after adjusting for the tax-free nature of the municipal bonds, they substantially outperformed. Municipal bond yields are currently very attractive compared to Treasury bond yields. Investors in all but the very lowest tax brackets pick-up substantial after-tax yield in municipal bonds versus Treasury bonds.

As has been the case since its inception, the credit quality of the Municipal Income Fund remains very high. Over 50% of the securities in the Fund are rated “AAA”, the highest rating category, with over 90% of assets rated in the highest three rating categories AAA, AA, and A. Over 98% of the income generated by the Fund is from Ohio municipal bonds, so most of the income earned is exempt from Ohio State Income Tax in addition to being exempt from Federal Income Taxes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1)  Organization:

The Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Opportunity Fund, Municipal Income Fund, and the Realty Fund are each series of the Johnson Mutual Funds Trust, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as no-load, open-end investment companies. The Johnson Mutual Funds Trust was established as an Ohio business trust under Declaration of Trust dated September 30, 1992. The Growth and Fixed Income Funds began offering their shares publicly on January 4, 1993. The Opportunity and Municipal Income Funds began offering their shares publicly on May 16, 1994. The Realty Fund began offering its shares publicly on January 2, 1998.

The investment objective of the Growth Fund is long term capital growth. The investment objective of the Opportunity Fund is long term capital growth. The investment objective of the Fixed Income Fund is a high level of income over the long term consistent with preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Municipal Income Fund is a high level of federally tax-free income over the long term consistent with preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Realty Fund is above average income and long term capital growth. The Realty Fund invest primarily in real estate related equity securities.

2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Security Valuation and Transactions:

The investments in securities are carried at market value. The market quotation used for common stocks which are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day, determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. In absence of a sale price, a security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Adviser’s opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the security.

Fixed income securities are valued by using independent pricing services which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. When prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, subject to review of the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.

Investment Income and Realized Capital Gains and Losses on Investment Securities:

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend and interest income are recorded net of foreign taxes. Gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.

Income Taxes:

It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, after the end of the calendar year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to registered investment companies. Accordingly, no tax provision is required.

3)  Investment Advisory Agreement:

The investment advisory agreement provides that Johnson Investment Counsel, Inc. (the Adviser) will pay all of the Funds’ operating expenses, excluding brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses. The Growth Fund, Opportunity Fund and Realty Fund paid the Adviser a management fee at the annual rate of 0.95% of each Funds’ average daily net assets, which was accrued daily and paid monthly. The Fixed Income Fund paid the Adviser a management fee at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, and the Municipal Income Fund paid the Adviser a management fee at the annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, both of which are accrued daily and paid monthly.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
