(a) | For Columbia Money Market Fund, new investments must be made in Class A, Class I, Class W or Class Z shares, subject to eligibility. Class C and Class R shares of Columbia Money Market Fund are available as a new investment only to investors in the Distributor's proprietary 401(k) products, provided that such investor is eligible to invest in the class and transact directly with the Fund or the Transfer Agent through a third party administrator or third party recordkeeper. Columbia Money Market Fund offers other classes of shares only to facilitate exchanges with other Funds offering such share classes. |
(b) | The minimum initial investment requirement is $5,000 for Columbia Floating Rate Fund and Columbia Inflation Protected Securities Fund, and $10,000 for Columbia Absolute Return Currency and Income Fund. See Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares — Buying Shares for more details on the eligible investors and minimum initial investment requirements. Certain share classes are subject to minimum account balance requirements, as described in Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares — Transaction Rules and Policies. |
(c) | Actual front-end sales charges and CDSCs vary among the Funds. For more information on applicable sales charges, see Choosing a Share Class — Sales Charges and Commissions and for information about certain exceptions to these sales charges, see Choosing a Share Class — Reductions/Waivers of Sales Charges. |
(d) | These are the maximum applicable distribution and/or service fees. Fee rates and fee components (i.e., the portion of a combined fee that is a distribution or service fee) may vary among Funds. Because these fees are paid out of Fund assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of distribution and/or shareholder service fees. Although Class A shares of certain series of CFST I are subject to a combined distribution and service fee of up to 0.35%, these Funds currently limit the combined fee to 0.25%. Columbia Money Market Fund pays a distribution and service fee of up to 0.10% on Class A shares, up to 0.75% distribution fee and up to 0.10% service fee on Class B shares, up to 0.75% distribution fee on Class C shares, and 0.10% distribution and service fees on Class W shares. Columbia AMT-Free Intermediate Muni Bond Fund, Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund and Columbia Tax-Exempt Fund pay a service fee of up to 0.20% on Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Columbia AMT-Free Intermediate Muni Bond Fund pays a distribution fee of up to 0.65% on Class B and Class C shares. For more information on distribution and service fees, see Choosing a Share Class — Distribution and Service Fees. |
(e) | For Columbia Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, a CDSC of 0.50% is charged on certain investments of $500,000 or more redeemed within 12 months after purchase. The following Funds are not subject to a front-end sales charge or a CDSC on Class A shares: Columbia Money Market Fund, Columbia Large Cap Index Fund, Columbia Large Cap Enhanced Core Fund, Columbia Mid Cap Index Fund, Columbia Small Cap Index Fund and Columbia U.S. Treasury Index Fund. Investments in Class A shares of Tax-Exempt Funds made prior to February 19, 2015 of between $1 million and $50 million are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if redeemed within 12 months after purchase and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase. |
(f) | These share classes are closed to new accounts, or closed to previously eligible investors, subject to certain conditions, as summarized below and described in more detail under Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares — Buying Shares — Eligible Investors: |
22 | Prospectus 2016 |
(g) | Timing of conversion and CDSC schedules will vary depending on the Fund and the date of your original purchase of Class B shares. For more information on the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, see Choosing a Share Class — Sales Charges and Commissions. Class B shares of Columbia Short Term Municipal Bond Fund do not charge a CDSC and do not convert to Class A shares. |
(h) | If you are eligible to invest in Class A shares without a front-end sales charge, you should discuss your options with your selling agent. For more information, see Choosing a Share Class – Reductions/Waivers of Sales Charges. |

(a) | Purchase amounts and account values may be aggregated among all eligible Fund accounts for the purposes of this table. See Choosing a Share Class — Reductions/Waivers of Sales Charges for a discussion of account value aggregation. |
(b) | Because the offering price is calculated to two decimal places, the dollar amount of the sales charge as a percentage of the offering price and your net amount invested for any particular purchase of Fund shares may be higher or lower depending on whether downward or upward rounding was required during the calculation process. Purchase price includes the sales charge. |
(c) | For information regarding cumulative commissions paid to your selling agent when you buy Class A shares of a Fund in amounts not subject to initial sales charges, see Class A Shares — Commissions below. |
■ | If you purchased Class A shares of any Tax-Exempt Fund (other than Columbia Short Term Municipal Bond Fund) on or after February 19, 2015 without an initial sales charge because your accounts aggregated $500,000 or more at the time of purchase, you will incur a CDSC of 0.75% if you redeem those shares within 12 months after purchase. Subsequent Class A share purchases made on or after February 19, 2015 that bring your aggregate account value to $500,000 or more will also be subject to a CDSC of 0.75% if you redeem them within 12 months after purchase. |
■ | If you purchased Class A shares of Columbia Short Term Municipal Bond Fund on or after February 19, 2015 without an initial sales charge because your accounts aggregated $500,000 or more at the time of purchase, you |

(g) | Class R shares of series of CFST and CFST I pay a distribution fee pursuant to a distribution (Rule 12b-1) plan for Class R shares. The Funds do not have a shareholder service plan for Class R shares. Series of CFST II have a distribution and shareholder service plan for Class R shares, which, prior to the close of business on September 3, 2010, were known as Class R2 shares. For Class R shares of series of CFST II, the maximum fee under the plan reimbursed for distribution expenses is equal on an annual basis to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class R shares. Of that amount, up to 0.25% may be reimbursed for shareholder service expenses. |
(h) | The shareholder servicing fees for Class T shares are up to 0.50% of average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares for equity Funds and 0.40% for fixed income Funds. In general, the Funds currently limit such fees to a maximum of 0.25% for equity Funds and 0.15% for fixed-income Funds. See Class T Shareholder Service Fees below for more information. |

■ | Once the Transfer Agent or your selling agent receives your buy order in “good form,” your purchase will be made at the next calculated public offering price per share, which is the net asset value per share plus any sales charge that applies. |
■ | You generally buy Class A and Class T shares at the public offering price per share because purchases of these share classes are generally subject to a front-end sales charge. |
■ | You buy Class B, Class C, Class I, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class W, Class Y and Class Z shares at net asset value per share because no front-end sales charge applies to purchases of these share classes. |
■ | The Distributor and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to cancel your order if the Fund does not receive payment within three business days of receiving your buy order. The Fund will return any payment received for orders that have been cancelled, but no interest will be paid on that money. |
■ | Selling agents are responsible for sending your buy orders to the Transfer Agent and ensuring that we receive your money on time. |
■ | Shares purchased are recorded on the books of the Fund. The Fund does not issue certificates. |
Prospectus 2016 | 51 |
■ | Once the Transfer Agent or your selling agent receives your redemption order in “good form,” your shares will be sold at the next calculated NAV per share. Any applicable CDSC will be deducted from the amount you're selling and the balance will be remitted to you. |
■ | If you sell your shares that are held directly with the Funds (through the Transfer Agent), we will normally send the redemption proceeds by mail or electronically transfer them to your bank account within three business days after the Transfer Agent or your selling agent receives your order in “good form.” |
■ | If you sell your shares through a selling agent, the Funds will normally send the redemption proceeds by Fedwire within three business days after the Transfer Agent or your selling agent receives your order in “good form.” |
■ | If you paid for your shares by check or from your bank account as an ACH transaction, the Funds will hold the redemption proceeds when you sell those shares for ten calendar days after the trade date of the purchase. |
■ | No interest will be paid on uncashed redemption checks. |
■ | The Funds can delay payment of the redemption proceeds for up to seven days and may suspend redemptions and/or further postpone payment of redemption proceeds when the NYSE is closed or trading thereon is restricted or during emergency or other circumstances, including as determined by the SEC. |
■ | Other restrictions may apply to retirement accounts. For information about these restrictions, contact your retirement plan administrator. |
■ | For broker-dealer and wrap fee accounts: The Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares if your account falls below the Fund's minimum initial investment requirement. The Fund will notify your broker-dealer prior to redeeming shares, and will provide details on how to avoid such redemption. |

■ | Exchanges are made at the NAV next calculated after your exchange order is received in “good form.” |
■ | Once the Fund receives your exchange request, you cannot cancel it after the market closes. |
■ | The rules for buying shares of a Fund generally apply to exchanges into that Fund, including, if your exchange creates a new Fund account, it must satisfy the minimum investment amount, unless a waiver applies. |
■ | Shares of the purchased Fund may not be used on the same day for another exchange or sale. |
■ | If you exchange shares from Class A shares of Columbia Money Market Fund to a non-money market Fund, any further exchanges must be between shares of the same class. For example, if you exchange from Class A shares of Columbia Money Market Fund into Class C shares of a non-money market Fund, you may not exchange from Class C shares of that non-money market Fund back to Class A shares of Columbia Money Market Fund. |
■ | A sales charge may apply when you exchange shares of a Fund that were not assessed a sales charge at the time of your initial purchase. For example, if your initial investment was in Columbia Money Market Fund and you exchange into a non-money market Fund, your transaction is subject to a front-end sales charge if you exchange into Class A shares and to a CDSC if you exchange into Class C shares of the Funds. |
■ | If your initial investment was in Class A shares of a non-money market Fund and you exchange shares into Columbia Money Market Fund, you may exchange that amount to another Fund, including dividends earned on that amount, without paying a sales charge. |
■ | If your shares are subject to a CDSC, you will not be charged a CDSC upon the exchange of those shares. Any CDSC will be deducted when you sell the shares you received from the exchange. The CDSC imposed at that time will be based on the period that begins when you bought shares of the original Fund and ends when you sell the shares of the Fund you received from the exchange. The applicable CDSC will be the CDSC of the original Fund. |
■ | You may make exchanges only into a Fund that is legally offered and sold in your state of residence. Contact the Transfer Agent or your selling agent for more information. |
■ | You generally may make an exchange only into a Fund that is accepting investments. |
■ | The Fund may change or cancel your right to make an exchange by giving the amount of notice required by regulatory authorities (generally 60 days for a material change or cancellation). |
■ | Unless your account is part of a tax-advantaged arrangement, an exchange for shares of another Fund is a taxable event, and you may recognize a gain or loss for tax purposes. |
■ | Changing your investment to a different Fund will be treated as a sale and purchase, and you will be subject to applicable taxes on the sale and sales charges on the purchase of the new Fund. |
Prospectus 2016 | 53 |
■ | Class Z shares of a Fund may be exchanged for Class A or Class Z shares of another Fund. In certain circumstances, the front-end sales charge applicable to Class A shares may be waived on exchanges of Class Z shares for Class A shares. See Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares — Buying Shares — Eligible Investors — Class Z Shares for details. |
■ | You may generally exchange Class T shares of a Fund for Class A shares of another Fund if the other Fund does not offer Class T shares. Class T shares exchanged into Class A shares cannot be exchanged back into Class T shares. |
■ | Class W shares originally purchased, but no longer held, in a discretionary managed account, may not be exchanged for Class W shares of another Fund. |
■ | Former CFIT Shareholders may not exchange Class Y shares of a Fund into Class Y shares of another Fund. |
■ | No sales charges or other charges will apply to any such exchange, except that when Class B shares are exchanged, any CDSC applicable to Class B shares will be applied. |
■ | Ordinarily, shareholders will not recognize a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon such an exchange. You should consult your tax advisor about your particular exchanges. |

■ | It can earn income on its investments. Examples of fund income are interest paid on money market instruments and bonds, and dividends paid on common stocks. |
■ | A mutual fund can also have capital gains if the value of its investments increases. While a fund continues to hold an investment, any gain is generally unrealized. If the fund sells an investment, it generally will realize a capital gain if it sells that investment for a higher price than its adjusted cost basis, and will generally realize a capital loss if it sells that investment for a lower price than its adjusted cost basis. Capital gains and losses are either short-term or long-term, depending on whether the fund holds the securities for one year or less (short-term) or more than one year (long-term). |
Declaration and Distribution Schedule | |
Declarations | Quarterly |

Prospectus 2016 | 55 |
■ | The Fund intends to qualify and to be eligible for treatment each year as a regulated investment company. A regulated investment company generally is not subject to tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are distributed to shareholders. However, the Fund's failure to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company would result in Fund-level taxation, and consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to you and in the net asset value of your shares. Even if the Fund qualifies for treatment as a regulated investment company, the Fund may be subject to federal excise tax on certain undistributed income or gains. |
■ | Otherwise taxable distributions generally are taxable to you when paid, whether they are paid in cash or automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares. Dividends paid in January are deemed paid on December 31 of the prior year if the dividend was declared and payable to shareholders of record in October, November, or December of such prior year. |
■ | Distributions of the Fund's ordinary income and net short-term capital gain, if any, generally are taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions of the Fund's net long-term capital gain, if any, generally are taxable to you as long-term capital gain. Whether capital gains are long-term or short-term is determined by how long the Fund has owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long you have owned your shares. |
■ | From time to time, a distribution from the Fund could constitute a return of capital, which is not taxable to you so long as the amount of the distribution does not exceed your tax basis in your Fund shares. A return of capital reduces your tax basis in your Fund shares, with any amounts exceeding such basis generally taxable as capital gain. |
■ | If you are an individual and you meet certain holding period and other requirements for your Fund shares, a portion of your distributions may be treated as “qualified dividend income” taxable at the lower net long-term capital gain rates instead of the higher ordinary income rates. Qualified dividend income is income attributable to the Fund's dividends received from certain U.S. and foreign corporations, as long as the Fund meets certain holding period and other requirements for the stock producing such dividends. |
■ | Certain high-income individuals (as well as estates and trusts) are subject to a 3.8% tax on net investment income. For individuals, the 3.8% tax applies to the lesser of (1) the amount (if any) by which the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain threshold amounts or (2) the taxpayer's “net investment income.” |
Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends, including any capital gain dividends, paid by the Fund, and net gains recognized on the sale, redemption or exchange of shares of the Fund. |
■ | Certain derivative instruments when held in the Fund's portfolio subject the Fund to special tax rules, the effect of which may be to, among other things, accelerate income to the Fund, defer Fund losses, cause adjustments in the holding periods of Fund portfolio securities, or convert capital gains into ordinary income, short-term capital losses into long-term capital losses or long-term capital gains into short-term capital gains. These rules could therefore affect the amount, timing and/or character of distributions to shareholders. |
■ | Generally, a Fund realizes a capital gain or loss on an option when the option expires, or when it is exercised, sold or otherwise terminated. However, if an option is a “section 1256 contract,” which includes most traded options |
56 | Prospectus 2016 |
on a broad-based index, and the Fund holds such option at the end of its taxable year, the Fund is deemed to sell such option at fair market value at such time and recognize any gain or loss thereon, which is generally deemed to be 60% long-term and 40% short-term gain or loss, as described further in the SAI. |
■ | Income and proceeds received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes. If at the end of the taxable year more than 50% of the value of the Fund's assets consists of securities of foreign corporations, and the Fund makes a special election, you will generally be required to include in your income for U.S. federal income tax purposes your share of the qualifying foreign income taxes paid by the Fund in respect of its foreign portfolio securities. You may be able to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of this amount, subject to certain limitations. There is no assurance that the Fund will make this election for a taxable year, even if it is eligible to do so. |
■ | A sale, redemption or exchange of Fund shares is a taxable event. This includes redemptions where you are paid in securities. Your sales, redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares (including those paid in securities) usually will result in a taxable capital gain or loss to you, equal to the difference between the amount you receive for your shares (or are deemed to have received in the case of exchanges) and your adjusted tax basis in the shares, which is generally the amount you paid (or are deemed to have paid in the case of exchanges) for them. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your Fund shares for more than one year at the time of sale or exchange. In certain circumstances, capital losses may be converted from short-term to long-term; in other circumstances, capital losses may be disallowed under the “wash sale” rules. |
■ | For sales, redemptions and exchanges of shares that were acquired in a non-qualified account after 2011, the Fund generally is required to report to shareholders and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cost basis information with respect to those shares. The Fund uses average cost basis as its default method of calculating cost basis. For more information regarding average cost basis reporting, other available cost basis methods, and selecting or changing to a different cost basis method, please see the SAI, columbiathreadneedle.com/us, or contact the Fund at 800.345.6611. If you hold Fund shares through a selling agent (e.g., a brokerage firm), you should contact your selling agent to learn about its cost basis reporting default method and the reporting elections available to your account. |
■ | The Fund is required by federal law to withhold tax on any taxable or tax-exempt distributions and redemption proceeds paid to you (including amounts paid to you in securities and amounts deemed to be paid to you upon an exchange of shares) if: you have not provided a correct TIN or have not certified to the Fund that withholding does not apply, the IRS has notified us that the TIN listed on your account is incorrect according to its records, or the IRS informs the Fund that you are otherwise subject to backup withholding. |

* | Certain Funds reorganized into series of the Trust. The date of operations for these Funds represents the date on which the predecessor funds began operation. |
** | A “diversified” Fund may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer or purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, except obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and except securities of other investment companies. A “non-diversified” Fund may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a “diversified” fund, which increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a “diversified” fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, a “non-diversified” Fund’s value will likely be more volatile than the value of a more diversified fund. |

Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 102 |
(1) | Columbia Management: Management of funds-of-funds differs from that of the other Funds. The portfolio management process is set forth generally below and in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. |
Portfolio managers of the fund-of-funds may be involved in determining each funds-of-fund’s allocation among the three main asset classes (equity, fixed income and cash) and the allocation among investment categories within each asset class, as well as each funds-of-fund’s allocation among the underlying funds. |
■ | Because of the structure of the funds-of-funds, the potential conflicts of interest for the portfolio managers may be different than the potential conflicts of interest for portfolio managers who manage other Funds. |
■ | The Investment Manager and its affiliates may receive higher compensation as a result of allocations to underlying funds with higher fees. |
(2) | Columbia Management: Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a Fund’s portfolio manager(s) may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Fund and other accounts at the same time. The Investment Manager and the Funds have adopted compliance policies and procedures that attempt to address certain of the potential conflicts that portfolio managers face in this regard. Certain of these conflicts of interest are summarized below. |
The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance (performance fee accounts), may raise potential conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager by creating an incentive to favor higher fee accounts. | |
Potential conflicts of interest also may arise when a portfolio manager has personal investments in other accounts that may create an incentive to favor those accounts. As a general matter and subject to the Investment Manager’s Code of Ethics and certain limited exceptions, the Investment Manager’s investment professionals do not have the opportunity to invest in client accounts, other than the funds. | |
A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those Funds and/or accounts. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where Funds and/or accounts managed by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies. | |
A portfolio manager may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Funds. A portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of broker/dealers could produce disproportionate costs and benefits among the Funds and the other accounts the portfolio manager manages. | |
A potential conflict of interest may arise when a portfolio manager buys or sells the same securities for a Fund and other accounts. On occasions when a portfolio manager considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, the Investment Manager’s trading desk may, to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or bought in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if a portfolio manager favors one account over another in allocating the securities bought or sold. The Investment Manager and its Participating Affiliates (including Threadneedle) may coordinate their trading operations for certain types of securities and transactions pursuant to personnel-sharing agreements or similar intercompany arrangements. However, typically the Investment Manager does not coordinate trading activities with a Participating Affiliate with respect to accounts of that Participating Affiliate unless such Participating Affiliate is also providing trading services for accounts managed by the Investment Manager. Similarly, a Participating Affiliate typically does not coordinate trading activities with the Investment Manager with respect to accounts of the Investment Manager unless the Investment Manager is also providing trading services for accounts managed by such Participating Affiliate. As a result, it is possible that the Investment Manager and its |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 103 |
Participating Affiliates may trade in the same instruments at the same time, in the same or opposite direction or in different sequence, which could negatively impact the prices paid by the Fund on such instruments. Additionally, in circumstances where trading services are being provided on a coordinated basis for the Investment Manager’s accounts (including the Funds) and the accounts of one or more Participating Affiliates in accordance with applicable law, it is possible that the allocation opportunities available to the Funds may be decreased, especially for less actively traded securities, or orders may take longer to execute, which may negatively impact Fund performance. | |
“Cross trades,” in which a portfolio manager sells a particular security held by a Fund to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), could involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, a portfolio manager is permitted to sell a security from one account to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. The Investment Manager and the Funds have adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between a Fund and another account managed by the Investment Manager are to be made at a current market price, consistent with applicable laws and regulations. | |
Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts managed by its portfolio manager(s). Depending on another account’s objectives and other factors, a portfolio manager may give advice to and make decisions for a Fund that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to another account. A portfolio manager’s investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a portfolio manager may buy or sell a particular security for certain accounts, and not for a Fund, even though it could have been bought or sold for the Fund at the same time. A portfolio manager also may buy a particular security for one or more accounts when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when a portfolio manager’s purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts, including the Funds. | |
To the extent a Fund invests in underlying funds, a portfolio manager will be subject to the potential conflicts of interest described in (1) above. | |
A Fund’s portfolio manager(s) also may have other potential conflicts of interest in managing the Fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could exist in managing the Fund and other accounts. Many of the potential conflicts of interest to which the Investment Manager’s portfolio managers are subject are essentially the same or similar to the potential conflicts of interest related to the investment management activities of the Investment Manager and its affiliates. |
(3) | AQR: Each of the portfolio managers is also responsible for managing other accounts in addition to the Fund, including other accounts of AQR, or its affiliates. Other accounts may include, without limitation, separately managed accounts for foundations, endowments, pension plans, and high net-worth families; registered investment companies; unregistered investment companies relying on either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act (such companies are commonly referred to as “hedge funds”); foreign investment companies; and may also include accounts or investments managed or made by the portfolio managers in a personal or other capacity (“Proprietary Accounts”). Management of other accounts in addition to the Fund can present certain conflicts of interest, as described below. |
From time to time, potential conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the investments of the Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other accounts, on the other. The other accounts might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund. Because of their positions with the Fund, the portfolio managers know the size, timing and possible market impact of the Fund’s trades. It is theoretically possible that the portfolio managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of the Fund. |
A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio manager’s management of a number of accounts (including Proprietary Accounts) with similar investment strategies. Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both the Fund and other accounts, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both the Fund and the other accounts to participate fully. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and another account. In addition, different account guidelines and/or differences within particular investment strategies may lead to the use of different investment practices for portfolios with a similar investment strategy. AQR will not necessarily purchase or sell the same securities at the same time, same direction, or in the same proportionate amounts for all eligible accounts, particularly if different accounts have materially different amounts of capital under management by AQR, different amounts of investable cash available, different strategies, or different risk tolerances. As a result, although AQR manages numerous accounts and/or portfolios with similar or identical investment objectives, or may manage accounts with different objectives that trade in the same securities, the portfolio decisions relating to these accounts, and the performance resulting from such decisions, may differ from account to account. |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 104 |
Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities by the Fund and one or more of the other accounts (including Proprietary Accounts) simultaneously, AQR or the portfolio manager may aggregate the purchases and sales of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a manner that it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. To this end, AQR has adopted policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated equitably among accounts over time. As a result of the allocations, there may be instances where the Fund will not participate in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts or the Fund may not be allocated the full amount of the securities sought to be traded. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of AQR that the overall benefits outweigh any disadvantages that may arise from this practice. Subject to applicable laws and/or account restrictions, AQR may buy, sell or hold securities for other accounts while entering into a different or opposite investment decision for the Fund. |
AQR and the Fund’s portfolio managers may also face a conflict of interest where some accounts pay higher fees to AQR than others, such as by means of performance fees. Specifically, the entitlement to a performance fee in managing one or more accounts may create an incentive for AQR to take risks in managing assets that it would not otherwise take in the absence of such arrangements. Additionally, since performance fees reward AQR for performance in accounts which are subject to such fees, AQR may have an incentive to favor these accounts over those that have only fixed asset-based fees with respect to areas such as trading opportunities, trade allocation, and allocation of new investment opportunities. |
AQR has implemented specific policies and procedures (e.g., a code of ethics and trade allocation policies) that seek to address potential conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the management of the Fund and other accounts and that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated fairly and equitably over time. |
(4) | BMO: A conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio manager being responsible for multiple accounts, including the Fund, which may have different investment guidelines and objectives. In addition to the Fund, these accounts may include other mutual funds managed on an advisory or subadvisory basis, separate accounts, and collective trust accounts. An investment opportunity may be suitable for a Fund as well as for any of the other managed accounts. However, the investment may not be available in sufficient quantity for all of the accounts to participate fully. In addition, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by a Fund and the other accounts. The other accounts may have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, they may track the same benchmarks or indexes as the Fund tracks, and they may sell securities that are eligible to be held, sold or purchased by the Fund. A portfolio manager may be responsible for accounts that have different advisory fee schedules, which may create the incentive for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another in terms of access to investment opportunities. A portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment objectives and policies differ from those of the Fund, which may cause the portfolio manager to effect trading in one account that may have an adverse effect on the value of the holdings within another account, including a Fund. |
To address and manage these potential conflicts of interest, BMO has adopted compliance policies and procedures to allocate investment opportunities and to ensure that each of its clients is treated on a fair and equitable basis. Such policies and procedures include, but are not limited to, trade allocation and trade aggregation policies, cross trading policies, portfolio manager assignment practices, and oversight by investment management, and/or compliance departments. |
(5) | Conestoga: Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, portfolio managers may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to Conestoga (Conestoga’s Sleeve) and other accounts at the same time. Conestoga has adopted compliance policies and procedures that attempt to address certain of the potential conflicts that Conestoga’s portfolio managers face in this regard. Certain of those conflicts of interest are summarized below. |
The management of accounts with different advisory or sub-advisory fee rates and/or fee and expense structures may raise certain potential conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager by creating an incentive to favor higher fee, or higher profit margin accounts. | |
Potential conflicts of interest also may arise when a portfolio manager has personal investments in other accounts that may create an incentive to favor those accounts. A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts managed by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies. | |
A portfolio manager may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker-dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for a fund. A portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of broker-dealers could produce disproportionate costs and benefits among Conestoga’s Sleeve and the other accounts the portfolio manager manages. | |
A potential conflict of interest may arise when a portfolio manager buys or sells the same securities for the Conestoga’s Sleeve and other accounts. On occasions when a portfolio manager considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of Conestoga’s Sleeve as well as other accounts, the Conestoga’s trading desk may, to the extent consistent with |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 105 |
applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or bought in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to Conestoga’s Sleeve or the Fund or another account if a portfolio manager favors one account over another in allocating the securities bought or sold. | |
“Cross trades,” in which a portfolio manager sells a particular security held by Conestoga’s Sleeve to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), could involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, a portfolio manager is permitted to sell a security from one account to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. The Investment Manager has adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between the Fund and another account managed by Conestoga are to be made at a current market price, consistent with applicable laws and regulations. | |
Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of Conestoga’s Sleeve and other accounts managed by its portfolio manager(s). Depending on another account’s objectives and other factors, a portfolio manager may give advice to and make decisions for Conestoga’s Sleeve that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to another account. A portfolio manager’s investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a portfolio manager may buy or sell a particular security for certain accounts, and not for Conestoga’s Sleeve, even though it could have been bought or sold for Conestoga’s Sleeve at the same time. A portfolio manager also may buy a particular security for one or more accounts when one or more other accounts are selling the security. There may be circumstances when a portfolio manager’s purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts, including the Fund. | |
The portfolio manager(s) also may have other potential conflicts of interest in managing Conestoga’s Sleeve, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could exist in managing Conestoga’s Sleeve and other accounts. Many of the potential conflicts of interest to which the Conestoga’s portfolio managers are subject are essentially the same or similar to the potential conflicts of interest related to the investment management activities of the Investment Manager or other subadvisers of the Fund. |
(6) | DGHM: The portfolio managers’ management of “other accounts” may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the investments of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to DGHM (DGHM’s Sleeve), on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The other accounts include hedge funds, separately managed private clients and discretionary 401(k) accounts (“Other Accounts”). The Other Accounts might have similar investment objectives as the Fund, be compared to the same index as the Fund, or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased, or sold by DGHM’s Sleeve. |
Knowledge of the Timing and Size of Fund Trades . A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio managers’ day-to-day management of DGHM’s Sleeve. The portfolio managers know the size and timing of trades for DGHM’s Sleeve and the Other Accounts, and may be able to predict the market impact of the DGHM’s Sleeve trades. It is theoretically possible that the portfolio managers could use this information to the advantage of Other Accounts they manage and to the possible detriment of DGHM’s Sleeve, or vice versa. | |
Investment Opportunities. DGHM provides investment supervisory services for a number of investment products that have varying investment guidelines. The same portfolio management team works across all investment products. Differences in the compensation structures of DGHM’s investment products may give rise to a conflict of interest by creating an incentive for DGHM to allocate the investment opportunities it believes might be the most profitable to the client accounts where it might benefit the most from the investment gains. |
(7) | EAM: The portfolio manager is responsible for managing other accounts invested in the same strategy as the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to EAM (EAM’s Sleeve). These other accounts include separately managed accounts for pension funds. In addition, other EAM portfolio managers manage accounts which have similar investment strategies and may invest in some of the same securities as EAM’s Sleeve or the Fund. |
From time to time, potential conflicts of interest may arise between the portfolio manager’s management of the investments of EAM’s Sleeve, on the one hand, and the management of other accounts, on the other. For example, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both EAM’s Sleeve and other accounts, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both EAM’s Sleeve and the other accounts to participate fully. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by EAM’s Sleeve and another account. Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities by EAM’s Sleeve and one or more of the other accounts simultaneously, EAM or the portfolio managers may aggregate the purchases and sales of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a manner that it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. As a result of the allocations, there may be instances when EAM’s Sleeve will not participate in a transaction |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 106 |
that is allocated among other accounts or that may not be allocated the full amount of the securities sought to be traded. Another potential conflict may arise when a portfolio manager may have an incentive to allocate opportunities to an account where EAM and the portfolio manager have a greater financial incentive, such as a performance fee account. | |
EAM has implemented specific policies and procedures ( e.g. , a code of ethics and trade allocation policies) that seek to address these potential conflicts. |
(8) | Federated: As a general matter, certain conflicts of interest may arise in connection with a portfolio manager’s management of a fund’s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of other accounts for which the portfolio manager is responsible, on the other. For example, it is possible that the various accounts managed could have different investment strategies that, at times, might conflict with one another to the possible detriment of the Fund. Alternatively, to the extent that the same investment opportunities might be desirable for more than one account, possible conflicts could arise in determining how to allocate them. Other potential conflicts might include conflicts created by specific portfolio manager compensation arrangements, and conflicts relating to selection of brokers or dealers to execute fund portfolio trades and/or specific uses of commissions from Fund portfolio trades (for example, research, or “soft dollars”). Federated has adopted policies and procedures and has structured the portfolio managers’ compensation in a manner reasonably designed to safeguard the Fund from being negatively affected as a result of any such potential conflicts. |
(9) | Loomis Sayles: Conflicts of interest may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities and the allocation of aggregated orders among the Funds and other accounts managed by the portfolio managers. A portfolio manager potentially could give favorable treatment to some accounts for a variety of reasons, including favoring larger accounts, accounts that pay higher fees, accounts that pay performance-based fees, accounts of affiliated companies and accounts in which the portfolio manager has an interest. Such favorable treatment could lead to more favorable investment opportunities or allocations for some accounts. Loomis Sayles makes investment decisions for all accounts (including institutional accounts, mutual funds, hedge funds and affiliated accounts) based on each account’s availability of other comparable investment opportunities and Loomis Sayles’ desire to treat all accounts fairly and equitably over time. Loomis Sayles maintains trade allocation and aggregation policies and procedures to address these potential conflicts. Conflicts of interest also may arise to the extent a portfolio manager short sells a stock in one client account but holds that stock long in other accounts, including the Funds, or sells a stock for some accounts while buying the stock for others, and through the use of “soft dollar arrangements,” which are discussed in Loomis Sayles’ Brokerage Allocation Policies and Procedures and Loomis Sayles’ Trade Aggregation and Allocation Policies and Procedures. |
(10) | Prudential : Like other investment advisers, Prudential is subject to various conflicts of interest in the ordinary course of its business. Prudential strives to identify potential risks, including conflicts of interest, that are inherent in its business, and conducts annual conflict of interest reviews. When actual or potential conflicts of interest are identified, Prudential seeks to address such conflicts through one or more of the following methods: |
elimination of the conflict; | |
disclosure of the conflict; or | |
management of the conflict through the adoption of appropriate policies, procedures or other mitigants. | |
Prudential follows the policies of Prudential Financial on business ethics, personal securities trading by investment personnel, and information barriers. Prudential has adopted a code of ethics, allocation policies and conflicts of interest policies, among others, and has adopted supervisory procedures to monitor compliance with its policies. Prudential cannot guarantee, however, that its policies and procedures will detect and prevent, or result in the disclosure of, each and every situation in which a conflict may arise. | |
Side-by-Side Management of Accounts and Related Conflicts of Interest. Prudential’s side-by-side management of multiple accounts can create conflicts of interest. Examples are detailed below, followed by a discussion of how Prudential addresses these conflicts. | |
Performance Fees— Prudential manages accounts with asset-based fees alongside accounts with performance-based fees. This side-by-side management may be deemed to create an incentive for Prudential and its investment professionals to favor one account over another. Specifically, Prudential could be considered to have the incentive to favor accounts for which it receives performance fees, and possibly take greater investment risks in those accounts, in order to bolster performance and increase its fees. | |
Affiliated accounts— Prudential manages accounts on behalf of its affiliates as well as unaffiliated accounts. Prudential could be considered to have an incentive to favor accounts of affiliates over others. | |
Large accounts—large accounts typically generate more revenue than do smaller accounts and certain of Prudential’s strategies have higher fees than others. As a result, a portfolio manager could be considered to have an incentive when allocating scarce investment opportunities to favor accounts that pay a higher fee or generate more income for Prudential. |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 107 |
Long only and long/short accounts— Prudential manages accounts that only allow it to hold securities long as well as accounts that permit short selling. Prudential may, therefore, sell a security short in some client accounts while holding the same security long in other client accounts. These short sales could reduce the value of the securities held in the long only accounts. In addition, purchases for long only accounts could have a negative impact on the short positions. | |
Securities of the same kind or class— Prudential may buy or sell for one client account securities of the same kind or class that are purchased or sold for another client at prices that may be different. Prudential may also, at any time, execute trades of securities of the same kind or class in one direction for an account and in the opposite direction for another account due to differences in investment strategy or client direction. Different strategies trading in the same securities or types of securities may appear as inconsistencies in Prudential’s management of multiple accounts side-by-side. | |
Financial interests of investment professionals— Prudential investment professionals may invest in certain investment vehicles that it advises. Also, certain of these investment vehicles are options under the 401(k) and deferred compensation plans offered by Prudential Financial. In addition, the value of grants under Prudential’s long-term incentive plan is affected by the performance of certain client accounts. As a result, Prudential investment professionals may have financial interests in accounts managed by Prudential or that are related to the performance of certain client accounts. | |
Non-discretionary accounts or models— Prudential provides non-discretionary investment advice and non-discretionary model portfolios to some clients and manages others on a discretionary basis. Trades in non-discretionary accounts could occur before, in concert with, or after Prudential executes similar trades in its discretionary accounts. The non-discretionary clients may be disadvantaged if Prudential delivers the model investment portfolio or investment advice to them after it initiates trading for the discretionary clients, or vice versa. | |
How Prudential Addresses These Conflicts of Interest. Prudential has developed policies and procedures designed to address the conflicts of interest with respect to its different types of side-by-side management described above. | |
The head of Prudential and its chief investment officer periodically review and compare performance and performance attribution for each client account within its various strategies. | |
In keeping with Prudential’s fiduciary obligations, its policy with respect to trade aggregation and allocation is to treat all of its accounts fairly and equitably over time. Prudential’s trade management oversight committee, which generally meets quarterly, is responsible for providing oversight with respect to trade aggregation and allocation. Prudential’s compliance group reviews a sampling of new issue allocations and related documentation to confirm compliance with trade aggregation and allocation procedures. In addition, Prudential’s trade management oversight committee reviews forensic reports of new issue allocation throughout the year so that new issue allocation in each of its strategies is reviewed at least once during each year. This forensic analysis includes such data as: (i) the number of new issues allocated in the strategy; (ii) the size of new issue allocations to each portfolio in the strategy;(iii) the profitability of new issue transactions; and (iv) portfolio turnover. The procedures above are designed to detect patterns and anomalies in Prudential’s side-by-side management and trading so that it may assess and improve its processes. | |
Prudential has policies and procedures that specifically address its side-by-side management of long/short and long only portfolios. These procedures address potential conflicts that could arise from differing positions between long/short and long only portfolios. In addition, lending opportunities with respect to securities for which the market is demanding a slight premium rate over normal market rates are allocated to long only accounts prior to allocating the opportunities to long/short accounts. | |
Conflicts Related to Prudential’s Affiliations. As an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Prudential is part of a diversified, global financial services organization. Prudential is affiliated with many types of U.S. and non-U.S. financial service providers, including insurance companies, broker-dealers, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators and other investment advisers. Some of its employees are officers of some of these affiliates. | |
Conflicts Arising Out of Legal Restrictions. Prudential may be restricted by law, regulation or contract as to how much, if any, of a particular security it may purchase or sell on behalf of a client, and as to the timing of such purchase or sale. These restrictions may apply as a result of its relationship with Prudential Financial and its other affiliates. Prudential does not purchase securities issued by Prudential Financial for client accounts. In addition, Prudential’s holdings of a security on behalf of its clients may, under some SEC rules, be aggregated with the holdings of that security by other Prudential Financial affiliates. These holdings could, on an aggregate basis, exceed certain reporting or ownership thresholds that are monitored, and Prudential may restrict purchases to avoid exceeding these thresholds. In addition, Prudential could receive material, non-public information with respect to a particular issuer and, as a result, be unable to execute transactions in securities of that issuer for its clients. For example, Prudential’s bank loan team often invests in private bank loans in connection with which the borrower provides material, non-public information, resulting in restrictions on trading securities issued by those borrowers. Prudential has procedures in place to carefully consider whether to intentionally accept material, non-public information with respect to certain issuers. Prudential is generally able to avoid receiving material, non-public |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 108 |
information from its affiliates and other units within Prudential by maintaining information barriers. In some instances, it may create an isolated information barrier around a small number of its employees so that material, non-public information received by such employees is not attributed to the rest of Prudential. | |
Conflicts Related to Outside Business Activity. From time to time, certain of Prudential employees or officers may engage in outside business activity, including outside directorships. Any outside business activity is subject to prior approval pursuant to Prudential’s personal conflicts of interest and outside business activities policy. Actual and potential conflicts of interest are analyzed during such approval process. Prudential could be restricted in trading the securities of certain issuers in client portfolios in the unlikely event that an employee or officer, as a result of outside business activity, obtains material, nonpublic information regarding an issuer. The executive chairman of Prudential serves on the board of directors of the operator of an electronic trading platform. Prudential has adopted procedures to address the conflict relating to trading on this platform. The procedures include independent monitoring by Prudential’s chief investment officer and chief compliance officer and reporting on Prudential’s use of this platform to the President of Prudential. | |
Conflicts Related to Investment of Client Assets in Affiliated Funds. Prudential may invest client assets in funds that it manages or sub advises for an affiliate. Prudential may also invest cash collateral from securities lending transactions in these funds. These investments benefit both Prudential and its affiliate. | |
PICA General Account. Because of the substantial size of the general account of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (PICA), trading by PICA’s general account, including Prudential’s trades on behalf of the account, may affect market prices. Although Prudential doesn’t expect that PICA’s general account will execute transactions that will move a market frequently, and generally only in response to unusual market or issuer events, the execution of these transactions could have an adverse effect on transactions for or positions held by other clients. | |
Conflicts Related to Securities Holdings and Other Financial Interests | |
Securities Holdings. Prudential, Prudential Financial, PICA’s general account and accounts of other affiliates of Prudential (collectively, affiliated accounts) hold public and private debt and equity securities of a large number of issuers and may invest in some of the same companies as other client accounts but at different levels in the capital structure. These investments can result in conflicts between the interests of the affiliated accounts and the interests of Prudential’s clients. For example: (i) Affiliated accounts can hold the senior debt of an issuer whose subordinated debt is held by Prudential’s clients or hold secured debt of an issuer whose public unsecured debt is held in client accounts. In the event of restructuring or insolvency, the affiliated accounts as holders of senior debt may exercise remedies and take other actions that are not in the interest of, or are adverse to, other clients that are the holders of junior debt. (ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Prudential may also invest client assets in offerings of securities the proceeds of which are used to repay debt obligations held in affiliated accounts or other client accounts. Prudential’s interest in having the debt repaid creates a conflict of interest. Prudential has adopted a refinancing policy to address this conflict. Prudential may be unable to invest client assets in the securities of certain issuers as a result of the investments described above. | |
Conflicts Related to the Offer and Sale of Securities. Certain of Prudential’s employees may offer and sell securities of, and interests in, commingled funds that it manages or subadvises. There is an incentive for Prudential’s employees to offer these securities to investors regardless of whether the investment is appropriate for such investor since increased assets in these vehicles will result in increased advisory fees to it. In addition, such sales could result in increased compensation to the employee. | |
Conflicts Related to Long-Term Compensation. The performance of many client accounts is not reflected in the calculation of changes in the value of participation interests under Prudential’s long-term incentive plan. This may be because the composite representing the strategy in which the account is managed is not one of the composites included in the calculation or because the account is excluded from a specified composite due to guideline restrictions or other factors. As a result of the long-term incentive plan, Prudential’s portfolio managers from time to time have financial interests related to the investment performance of some, but not all, of the accounts they manage. To address potential conflicts related to these financial interests, Prudential has procedures, including trade allocation and supervisory review procedures, designed to ensure that each of its client accounts is managed in a manner that is consistent with Prudential’s fiduciary obligations, as well as with the account’s investment objectives, investment strategies and restrictions. For example, Prudential’s chief investment officer reviews performance among similarly managed accounts with the head of Prudential on a quarterly basis. | |
Other Financial Interests. Prudential and its affiliates may also have financial interests or relationships with issuers whose securities it invests in for client accounts. These interests can include debt or equity financing, strategic corporate relationships or investments, and the offering of investment advice in various forms. For example, Prudential may invest client assets in the securities of issuers that are also its advisory clients. In addition, some of Prudential’s affiliates originate and/or service commercial mortgage loans that are sold to certain issuers of agency and private-label commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and serve as security for CMBS issued by them. The proceeds of CMBS offerings by such issuers |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 109 |
may be used to pay the purchase price for commercial mortgage loans sold to such issuers by Prudential’s affiliates. Purchases of CMBS for Prudential’s advisory clients may be viewed as supporting the business of the sponsors of the CMBS who acquire mortgages from Prudential’s affiliates. In addition, the commercial mortgage loans sold by Prudential’s affiliates are typically sold on a servicing retained basis, which means one of Prudential’s affiliates (an “affiliated servicer”) may provide certain services with respect to the mortgage loans for compensation. As a result, these commercial mortgage loans will typically be serviced by Prudential’s affiliated servicer for the life of the CMBS deal or until the deal or the specific commercial mortgage matures or is terminated. In the event that a dispute arises with respect to an affiliate’s origination or servicing of a commercial mortgage loan in a CMBS trust, the affiliate’s positions and efforts may be contrary to the interests of holders of the CMBS. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Prudential may invest assets of clients in CMBS secured by commercial mortgage loans originated and/or serviced by Prudential’s affiliates. In order to mitigate the conflicts of interest related to purchases of these CMBS, Prudential will not invest in CMBS offerings for unaffiliated clients in the primary or secondary market where commercial mortgage loans contributed by Prudential’s affiliates exceed 25% of the commercial mortgage loans backing such CMBS at the time of purchase. The activities of these affiliates restrict the universe of CMBS that Prudential is able to purchase for client accounts. | |
In general, conflicts related to the securities holdings and financial interests described above are addressed by the fact that Prudential makes investment decisions for each client independently considering the best economic interests of such client. | |
Conflicts Related to Valuation and Fees. | |
When client accounts hold illiquid or difficult to value investments, Prudential faces a conflict of interest when making recommendations regarding the value of such investments since its management fees are generally based on the value of assets under management. Prudential believes that its valuation policies and procedures mitigate this conflict effectively and enable it to value client assets fairly and in a manner that is consistent with the client’s best interests. | |
Conflicts Related to Securities Lending Fees | |
When Prudential manages a client account and also serves as securities lending agent for the account, it could be considered to have the incentive to invest in securities that would yield higher securities lending rates. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Prudential’s advisory fees are generally based on the value of assets in a client’s account. In addition, Prudential’s securities lending function has a separate reporting line to its chief operating officer (rather than its chief investment officer). |
(11) | TCW: TCW’s portfolio managers could favor one account over another in allocating new investment opportunities that have limited supply, such as (by way of example but not limitation) initial public offerings and private placements. If, for example, an initial public offering that was expected to appreciate in value significantly shortly after the offering was allocated to a single account, that account may be expected to have better investment performance than other accounts that did not receive an allocation of a particular initial public offering. |
A TCW portfolio manager could favor one account over another in the order in which trades for the accounts are placed. If a TCW portfolio manager decides to purchase a security for more than one account in an aggregate amount that may influence the market price of the security, accounts that purchased or sold the security first may receive a more favorable price than accounts that made subsequent transactions. The less liquid the market for the security or the greater the percentage that the proposed aggregate purchases or sales represent of average daily trading volume, the greater the potential for accounts that make subsequent purchases or sales to receive a less favorable price. When a TCW portfolio manager intends to trade the same security on the same day for more than one account, the trades typically are “bunched,” which means that the trades for the individual accounts are aggregated and each account receives the same price. There are some types of accounts for which bunching may not be possible for contractual reasons. Circumstances may also arise in which the trader believes that bunching the orders may not result in the best possible price. Where those accounts or circumstances are involved, the TCW portfolio manager will place the order in a manner intended to result in as favorable a price as possible for such clients. | |
A TCW portfolio manager potentially could favor an account if that portfolio manager’s compensation is tied to the performance of that account to a greater degree than other accounts managed by the TCW portfolio manager. If, for example, the TCW portfolio manager receives a bonus based upon the performance of certain accounts relative to a benchmark while other accounts are disregarded for this purpose, the TCW portfolio manager may have a financial incentive to seek to have the accounts that determine the portfolio manager’s bonus achieve the best possible performance to the possible detriment of other accounts. Similarly, if TCW receives a performance-based advisory fee from an account, the TCW portfolio manager may have an incentive to favor that account, whether or not the performance of that account directly determines the portfolio manager’s compensation. This structure may create inherent pressure to allocate investments having a greater potential for higher returns to those accounts with higher performance fees. |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 110 |
A portfolio manager may have an incentive to favor an account if the TCW portfolio manager has a beneficial interest in the account, in order to benefit a large client or to compensate a client that had poor returns. For example, if the TCW portfolio manager held an interest in an investment partnership that was one of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, the TCW portfolio manager would have an economic incentive to favor the account in which the portfolio manager held an interest. | |
TCW determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with its duty to seek best execution, and aggregates like orders where it believes doing so is beneficial to its client accounts. However, with respect to certain separate accounts, TCW may be limited by the clients or other constraints with respect to the selection of brokers or it may be instructed to direct trades through particular brokers. In these cases, TCW may place separate, non-simultaneous transactions for the Core Fixed Income and U.S. Fixed Income Funds and another account which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction to the detriment of one or the other. | |
If different accounts have materially and potentially conflicting investment objectives or strategies, a conflict of interest could arise. For example, if a TCW portfolio manager purchases a security for one account and sells the same security short for another account, such trading pattern may disadvantage either the account that is long or short. In making portfolio manager assignments, TCW seeks to avoid such potentially conflicting situations. However, where a TCW portfolio manager is responsible for accounts with differing investment objectives and policies, it is possible that the portfolio manager will conclude that it is in the best interest of one account to sell a portfolio security while another account continues to hold or increase the holding in such security. | |
TCW has in place a Code of Ethics designed to minimize conflicts of interest between clients and its investment personnel. TCW also reviews potential conflicts of interest through its Trading and Allocation Committee. |
(12) | Threadneedle: Threadneedle portfolio managers may manage one or more mutual funds as well as other types of accounts, including proprietary accounts, separate accounts for institutions, and other pooled investment vehicles. Portfolio managers make investment decisions for an account or portfolio based on its investment objectives and policies, and other relevant investment considerations. A portfolio manager may manage a separate account or other pooled investment vehicle whose fees may be materially greater than the management fees paid by the Fund and may include a performance-based fee. Management of multiple funds and accounts may create potential conflicts of interest relating to the allocation of investment opportunities, and the aggregation and allocation of trades. In addition, a portfolio manager’s responsibilities at Threadneedle include working as a securities analyst. This dual role may give rise to conflicts with respect to making investment decisions for accounts that he/she manages versus communicating his/her analyses to other portfolio managers concerning securities that he/she follows as an analyst. |
Threadneedle has a fiduciary responsibility to all of the clients for which it manages accounts. Threadneedle seeks to provide best execution of all securities transactions and to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate securities to client accounts in a fair and timely manner. Threadneedle has developed policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, designed to mitigate and manage the potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the management of multiple types of accounts for multiple clients. |
(13) | Wasatch: There may be certain inherent conflicts of interest that arise in connection with a portfolio manager’s management of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to Wasatch (Wasatch’s Sleeve) and the investments of any other fund or client accounts Wasatch or the respective portfolio managers also manages. Such conflicts include allocation of investment opportunities among Wasatch’s Sleeve and other accounts managed by Wasatch or the portfolio manager; the aggregation of purchase and sale orders believed to be in the best interest of more than one account managed by Wasatch or the portfolio manager and the allocation of such orders across such accounts; and any soft dollar arrangements that Wasatch may have in place that could benefit Wasatch’s Sleeve and/or other accounts. Additionally, some funds or accounts managed by a portfolio manager may have different fee structures, including performance fees, which are, or have the potential to be, higher or lower than the fees paid by another fund or account. To minimize the effects of these inherent conflicts of interest, Wasatch has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including trade aggregation and allocation procedures, that it believes are reasonably designed to mitigate the potential conflicts associated with managing portfolios for multiple clients, including the Fund, and seeks to ensure that no one client is intentionally favored at the expense of another. |
(14) | Water Island: The fact that the portfolio managers serve as both portfolio managers of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to Water Island (Water Island’s Sleeve) and the other account creates the potential for conflicts of interest. However, Water Island does not believe that their overlapping responsibilities or the various elements of their compensation present any material conflict of interest for the following reasons: |
■ |
■ | Water Island follows strict and detailed written allocation procedures designed to allocate securities purchases and sales between the Funds and the other account in a fair and equitable manner; |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 111 |
■ | Water Island has adopted policies limiting the ability of the portfolio managers to cross trade securities between Water Island’s Sleeve and other accounts; and |
■ | all allocations are subject to review by Water Island’s chief compliance officer. |
(15) | Columbia Management: Portfolio manager direct compensation is typically comprised of a base salary, and an annual incentive award that is paid either in the form of a cash bonus if the size of the award is under a specified threshold, or, if the size of the award is over a specified threshold, the award is paid in a combination of a cash bonus, an equity incentive award, and deferred compensation. Equity incentive awards are made in the form of Ameriprise Financial restricted stock, or for more senior employees both Ameriprise Financial restricted stock and stock options. The investment return credited on deferred compensation is based on the performance of specified Columbia Funds, in most cases including the Columbia Funds the portfolio manager manages. |
Base salary is typically determined based on market data relevant to the employee’s position, as well as other factors including internal equity. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and increases are typically given as promotional increases, internal equity adjustments, or market adjustments. | |
Annual incentive awards are variable and are based on (1) an evaluation of the employee’s investment performance and (2) the results of a peer and/or management review of the employee, which takes into account skills and attributes such as team participation, investment process, communication, and professionalism. Scorecards are used to measure performance of Columbia Funds and other accounts managed by the employee versus benchmarks and peer groups. Performance versus benchmark and peer group is generally weighted for the rolling one, three, and five year periods. One year performance is weighted 10%, three year performance is weighted 60%, and five year performance is weighted 30%. Relative asset size is a key determinant for fund weighting on a scorecard. Typically, weighting would be proportional to actual assets. Consideration may also be given to performance in managing client assets in sectors and industries assigned to the employee as part of his/her investment team responsibilities, where applicable. For leaders who also have group management responsibilities, another factor in their evaluation is an assessment of the group’s overall investment performance. | |
Equity incentive awards are designed to align participants’ interests with those of the shareholders of Ameriprise Financial. Equity incentive awards vest over multiple years, so they help retain employees. | |
Deferred compensation awards are designed to align participants’ interests with the investors in the Columbia Funds and other accounts they manage. The value of the deferral account is based on the performance of Columbia Funds. Employees have the option of selecting from various Columbia Funds for their deferral account, however portfolio managers must allocate a minimum of 25% of their incentive awarded through the deferral program to the Columbia Fund(s) they manage. Deferrals vest over multiple years, so they help retain employees. | |
Exceptions to this general approach to bonuses exist for certain teams and individuals. Funding for the bonus pool is determined by management and depends on, among other factors, the levels of compensation generally in the investment management industry taking into account investment performance (based on market compensation data) and both Ameriprise Financial and Columbia Management profitability for the year, which is largely determined by assets under management. | |
For all employees the benefit programs generally are the same, and are competitive within the financial services industry. Employees participate in a wide variety of plans, including options in Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Care and Dependent Spending Accounts, Life Insurance, Long Term Disability Insurance, 401(k), and a cash balance pension plan. |
(16) | AQR : The compensation for each of the portfolio managers that are a Principal of AQR is in the form of distributions based on the net income generated by AQR and each Principal’s relative ownership in AQR. Net income distributions are a function of assets under management and performance of the funds and accounts managed by AQR. A Principal’s relative ownership in AQR is based on cumulative research, leadership and other contributions to AQR. There is no direct linkage between assets under management, performance and compensation. However, there is an indirect linkage in that superior performance tends to attract assets and thus increase revenues. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to participate in AQR’s 401(k) retirement plan which is offered to all employees of AQR. |
The compensation for the portfolio managers that are not Principals of AQR primarily consists of a fixed base salary and a discretionary bonus (“Total Compensation”). Total Compensation is reviewed at least annually under a formal review program and increases are granted on a merit basis. Job performance contributes significantly to the determination of any Total Compensation increase; other factors, such as seniority are also considered. A portfolio manager’s performance is not |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 112 |
based on any specific fund’s or strategy’s assets under management or performance, but is affected by the overall performance of the firm. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to participate in AQR’s 401(k) retirement plan which is offered to all employees of AQR. |
(17) | BMO: Compensation for BMO’s portfolio managers consists of base salary, which is monitored to ensure competitiveness in the external marketplace. In addition to base salary, portfolio managers have a portion of their compensation tied to the investment performance of client accounts. The formula for each professional varies according to their level of portfolio responsibility and seniority. Investment professionals also may receive bonuses of restricted share units or other units linked to the performance of the Bank of Montreal, the indirect owner of BMO Asset Management Corp. |
(18) | Conestoga: Each of the Fund’s portfolio managers is a partner of Conestoga. As such, each portfolio manager receives a share of Conestoga’s annual profits, as specified in the manager’s partnership agreement with Conestoga, from Conestoga’s management of the Fund and all other accounts. |
(19) | DGHM: The portfolio managers’ compensation varies with the general success of the firm. Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of a fixed annual salary, plus additional remuneration based on assets under management. The portfolio managers’ compensation is not directly linked to the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the firm, although positive performance and growth in managed assets are factors that may contribute to distributable profits and assets under management. |
(20) | EAM: The portfolio manager’s compensation is comprised of a base salary, a revenue allocation and firm profit allocation. The salary is in-line with industry specific benchmarks. The revenue allocation is based on firm-wide revenue while the profit allocation is based on firm-wide profitability. There is no direct linkage between performance and compensation, however, there is an indirect linkage as superior performance tends to attract and retain assets and consequently increase revenues and profitability. |
(21) | Federated: The portfolio manager is paid a fixed base salary and a variable annual incentive. Base salary is determined within a market competitive position-specific salary range, based on the portfolio manager’s experience and performance. The annual incentive amount is determined based primarily on Investment Product Performance (IPP) and, to a lesser extent, Financial Success, and may be paid entirely in cash, or in a combination of cash and restricted stock of Federated Investors Inc. The total combined annual incentive opportunity is intended to be competitive in the market for this portfolio manager’s role. |
IPP is measured on a rolling one, three and five calendar year pre-tax gross total return basis vs. the Fund’s benchmark (i.e., Barclays Universal Index) and vs. the Fund's designated peer group of comparable accounts. Performance periods are adjusted if a portfolio manager has been managing an account for less than five years; accounts with less than one year of performance history under a portfolio manager may be excluded. As noted above, the portfolio manager also manages other accounts in addition to the Fund. Such other accounts may have different benchmarks, peer groups, IPP weightings and performance measures. For purposes of calculating the annual incentive amount, each fund or account is categorized into an IPP group. Within each performance measurement period and IPP group, IPP is calculated on the basis of an assigned weighting to each account or fund managed by the portfolio manager and included in the IPP groups. The weighting assigned to the Fund is greater than or equal to the weighting assigned to other accounts or funds used to determine IPP. Additionally, the portfolio manager serves on one or more Investment Teams that establish guidelines on various performance drivers (e.g., currency, duration, sector, volatility and/or yield curve) for taxable fixed income funds. A portion of the IPP score is based on Federated’s senior management’s assessment of team contributions. A portion of the IPP score may be adjusted on management’s assessment of overall contributions to fund performance and any other factors as deemed relevant. | |
The Financial Success category is designed to tie the portfolio manager’s bonus, in part, to Federated’s overall financial results. Funding for the Financial Success category may be determined on a product or asset class basis, as well as on corporate financial results. Senior Management determines individual Financial Success bonuses on a discretionary basis, considering overall contributions and any other factors deemed relevant. |
(22) | Loomis Sayles: Loomis Sayles believes that portfolio manager compensation should be driven primarily by the delivery of consistent and superior long-term performance for its clients. Portfolio manager compensation is made up primarily of three main components: base salary, variable compensation and a long-term incentive program. Although portfolio manager compensation is not directly tied to assets under management, a portfolio manager’s base salary and/or variable compensation potential may reflect the amount of assets for which the manager is responsible relative to other portfolio managers. Loomis Sayles also offers a profit sharing plan. Base salary is a fixed amount based on a combination of factors, including industry experience, firm experience, job performance and market considerations. Variable compensation is an incentive-based component and generally represents a significant multiple of base salary. Variable compensation is based on four factors: investment performance, profit growth of the firm, profit growth of the manager’s business unit and team |

(23) | Prudential : The base salary of an investment professional Prudential is based on market data relative to similar positions as well as the past performance, years of experience and scope of responsibility of the individual. Incentive compensation, including the annual cash bonus, the long-term equity grant and grants under Prudential’s long-term incentive plan, is primarily based on such person’s contribution to Prudential’s goal of providing investment performance to clients consistent with portfolio objectives, guidelines and risk parameters and market-based data such as compensation trends and levels of overall compensation for similar positions in the asset management industry. In addition, an investment professional’s qualitative contributions to the organization are considered in determining incentive compensation. Incentive compensation is not solely based on the performance of, or value of assets in, any single account or group of client accounts. |
An investment professional’s annual cash bonus is paid from an annual incentive pool. The pool is developed as a percentage of Prudential’s operating income and is refined by business metrics, which may include: | |
- business development initiatives, measured primarily by growth in operating income; | |
- the number of investment professionals receiving a bonus; and/or | |
- investment performance of portfolios: (i) relative to appropriate peer groups and/or (ii) as measured against relevant investment indices. | |
Long-term compensation consists of Prudential Financial restricted stock and grants under the long-term incentive plan. Grants under the long-term incentive plan are participation interests in notional accounts with a beginning value of a specified dollar amount. The value attributed to these notional accounts increases or decreases over a defined period of time based, in part, on the performance of investment composites representing a number of Prudential’s most frequently marketed investment strategies. An investment composite is an aggregation of accounts with similar investment strategies. The long-term incentive plan is designed to more closely align compensation with investment performance and the growth of Prudential’s business. Both the restricted stock and participation interests are subject to vesting requirements. |
(24) | TCW: The overall objective of TCW’s compensation program for portfolio managers is to attract experienced and expert investment professionals and to retain them over the long-term. Compensation is comprised of several components which, in the aggregate, are designed to achieve these objectives and to reward the portfolio managers for their contributions to the successful performance of the accounts they manage. Portfolio managers are compensated through a combination of base salary, profit sharing based compensation (“ profit sharing ”), bonus and equity incentive participation in TCW’s parent company (“ equity incentives ”). Profit sharing and equity incentives generally represent most of the portfolio managers’ compensation. In some cases, portfolio managers are eligible for discretionary bonuses. |
Salary . Salary is agreed to with managers at time of employment and is reviewed from time to time. It does not change significantly and often does not constitute a significant part of the portfolio manager’s compensation. |
Profit Sharing . Profit sharing for investment professionals is based on net income relating to accounts in the investment strategy area for which the portfolio managers are responsible. In most cases, revenues are allocated to a pool and profit sharing compensation is allocated among members of the investment team after the deduction of certain expenses (including base salaries) related to the strategy group. The allocations are based on the investment professionals’ contributions to TCW and its clients, including qualitative and quantitative contributions. The profit sharing percentage used to compensate a portfolio manager for management of the fund is generally the same as that used to compensate portfolio managers for all other client accounts in the same strategy managed by MetWest or one of the other TCW-affiliated advisers (together, “ the TCW Group ”). In some cases, the pool includes revenues related to more than one equity or fixed income product where the portfolio managers work together as a team, in which case each participant in the pool is entitled to profit sharing derived from all the included products. In certain cases, a portfolio manager may also participate in a profit sharing pool that includes revenues from products besides the strategies offered in the fund, including alternative investment products; the portfolio manager would be entitled to participate in such pool where he or she supervises, is involved in the management of, or is associated with a group, other members of which manage, such products. |

(25) | Threadneedle: Direct compensation is typically comprised of a base salary, and an annual incentive award that is paid either in the form of a cash bonus if the size of the award is under a specified threshold, or, if the size of the award is over a specified threshold, the award is paid in a combination of a cash bonus, an equity incentive award, and deferred compensation. Equity incentive awards are made in the form of Ameriprise Financial restricted stock, or for more senior employees both Ameriprise Financial restricted stock and stock options. The investment return credited on deferred compensation is based on the performance of specified Threadneedle funds, in most cases including the funds the portfolio manager manages. |
Base salary is typically determined based on market data relevant to the employee’s position, as well as other factors including internal equity. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and increases are typically given as promotional increases, internal equity adjustments, or market adjustments. | |
Annual incentive awards and pool funding are variable and are designed to reward: |
■ | Investment performance, both at the individual and team levels |
■ | Client requirements, in particular the alignment with clients through a mandatory deferral into the company’s own products |
■ | Team cooperation and Values |
Statement of Additional Information – May 1, 2016 | 116 |
(26) | Wasatch: As of September 30, 2013, the Wasatch’s Compensation Committee and Executive Committee reviewed and determined its portfolio managers’ compensation. The committees may use independent third party investment industry compensation survey results in evaluating competitive market compensation for its investment professionals. The committees may also consult with professional industry recruiters. The elements of total compensation for the portfolio managers are base salary, performance-based bonus, profit sharing and other benefits. Wasatch has balanced the components of pay to provide portfolio managers with an incentive to focus on both shorter and longer term performance. By design, portfolio manager compensation levels fluctuate — both up and down — with the relative investment performance of the Funds that they manage. |
Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary, a potential bonus based on performance, potential deferred bonus grants based on performance, and possibly stock dividends. | |
Base Salary — Each portfolio manager is paid a fixed base salary depending upon their tenure. | |
Performance Bonus — A large portion of a portfolio manager’s potential compensation is in the form of a performance bonus. Performance bonus is based on pre-tax performance. At the end of each year, the Board of Directors will allocate a bonus pool that will loosely mirror firm profits net of stock buybacks and deferred compensation payouts. The majority of this bonus pool will be allocated to portfolio managers based on the 1, 3- and 5-year performance of their portfolios, which will provide them with significant economic incentives for achieving top quartile performance relative to the applicable Fund’s performance benchmark over both the short and long term. Peer groups are also utilized to evaluate performance over both the short and long term. Portfolio managers and research analysts are not paid a commission for the solicitation or acquisition of new clients or the retention of existing clients. However, the amount of revenue generated by each product is overlaid on performance to determine the size of each portfolio manager’s bonus ( e.g. , if performance were equal, a portfolio manager on a higher revenue product would receive a larger bonus than one on a smaller revenue product). | |
For portfolio managers who manage separate accounts and mutual funds as well, they have bonus components calculated based on the performance of each individual product relative to its peer group. Revenue is again used as an element in converting performance results into the bonus amount. | |
Portfolio managers are also rewarded for their stock selection contributions to other products and their impact on the overall success of the research team. This incentive is consistent with Wasatch’s collaborative team-based approach to portfolio management. | |
Deferred Bonus Grants — Portfolio managers are also eligible for deferred bonus grants, which are payable six years from the date of the grant, with their value directly tied to Wasatch’s revenues. Each portfolio manager’s grant size will be based on individual performance factors similar to those used to determine the annual performance bonus. | |
Stock/Dividends — All of the portfolio managers are shareholders of Wasatch. The relative amount of stock owned by each portfolio manager is at the discretion of Wasatch’s Board and will evolve over time, with bigger long-term contributors holding higher levels of ownership. New portfolio manager stock grants typically vest over a five-year period, with the vesting dependent on the performance of the fund(s) managed by the portfolio manager. | |
It is possible that certain profits of Wasatch could be paid out to shareholders through a stock dividend. However, there are no current plans or expectations for such a dividend. | |
Other Benefits — Portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in broad-based benefit plans offered generally to Wasatch’s full-time employees, including 401(k), health and other employee benefit plans |

Item 29. | Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant |
Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the investment manager or Columbia Management), as sponsor of the Columbia funds, may make initial capital investments in Columbia funds (seed accounts). Columbia Management also serves as investment manager of certain Columbia funds-of-funds that invest primarily in shares of affiliated funds (the underlying funds). Columbia Management does not make initial capital investments or invest in underlying funds for the purpose of exercising control. However, since these ownership interests may be significant, in excess of 25%, such that Columbia Management may be deemed to control certain Columbia funds, procedures have been put in place to assure that public shareholders determine the outcome of all actions taken at shareholder meetings. Specifically, Columbia Management (which votes proxies for the seed accounts) and the Boards of Trustees of the affiliated funds-of-funds (which votes proxies for the affiliated funds-of-funds) vote on each proposal in the same proportion as the vote of the direct public shareholders vote; provided, however, that if there are no direct public shareholders of an underlying fund or if direct public shareholders represent only a minority interest in an underlying fund, the Fund may cast votes in accordance with instructions from the independent members of the Board.
Item 30. | Indemnification |
Article Five of the Bylaws of Registrant provides that Registrant shall indemnify each of its trustees and officers (including persons who serve at Registrants request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which Registrant has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) who are not employees or officers of any investment adviser to Registrant or any affiliated person thereof and its chief compliance officer, regardless of whether such person is an employee or officer of any investment adviser to Registrant or any affiliated person thereof, and may indemnify each of its trustees and officers (including persons who serve at Registrants request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which Registrant has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) (i.e., those who are employees or officers of any investment adviser to Registrant or any affiliated person thereof) (Covered Persons) under specified circumstances, all as more fully set forth in the Registrants Bylaws, which have been filed as an exhibit to this registration statement.
Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) provides that no instrument pursuant to which Registrant is organized or administered shall contain any provision which protects or purports to protect any trustee or officer of Registrant against any liability to Registrant or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. In accordance with Section 17(h) of the 1940 Act, no Covered Person is indemnified under the Bylaws against any liability to Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Covered Persons office.
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. agrees to indemnify the Registrant, its officers and trustees against claims, demands, liabilities and expenses under specified circumstances, all as more fully set forth in the Registrants Distribution Agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. The Registrant may be party to other contracts that include indemnification provisions for the benefit of the Registrants trustees and officers.
The trustees and officers of the Registrant and the personnel of the Registrants investment adviser and principal underwriter are insured under an errors and omissions liability insurance policy. Registrants investment adviser, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, maintains investment advisory professional liability insurance to insure it, for the benefit of Registrant and its non-interested trustees, against loss arising out of any effort, omission, or breach of any duty owed to Registrant or any series of Registrant by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Registrants organizational instruments or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, is unenforceable.

(c) The Fund agrees that the Investment Manager may, at its own expense, subcontract for the Services (including with affiliates of the Investment Manager) or make use of its affiliated companies and their board members, trustees, officers and employees, with the understanding that the quality and scope of Management Services required to be provided under this Agreement shall not be diminished thereby, and also with the understanding that the Investment Manager shall obtain such approval from the Board and/or Fund shareholders as is required by applicable law, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, terms of this Agreement, resolutions of the Board and commitments of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager agrees that, in the event it subcontracts with another party for some or all of the advisory Services with respect to the Fund in reliance on its manager-of-managers exemptive order (Investment Company Act Release No. 25664 (July 16, 2002)) or a subsequent order containing such conditions, the Investment Manager will retain overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Fund and, subject to review and approval by the Board, will set the Funds overall investment strategies (consistent with the Funds then-current prospectus and statement of additional information); evaluate, select and recommend one or more subadvisers to manage all or a portion of the Funds assets; when appropriate, allocate and reallocate the Funds assets among multiple subadvisers; monitor and evaluate the investment performance of subadvisers; and implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the subadvisers comply with the Funds investment objectives, policies and restrictions.
(d) In performing the Services, the Investment Manager shall (i) act in conformity with the Funds declaration of trust, bylaws and registration statement, as each may be modified from time to time, (ii) consult and coordinate with the Fund, as necessary and appropriate, (iii) advise and report to the Fund, as necessary or appropriate, with respect to any compliance matters that come to its attention, and (iv) comply (or cause the Fund to comply, as applicable) with all applicable law, including but not limited to the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the Advisers Act ), the 1933 Act, and the provisions of the Code applicable to the Fund to the extent it seeks to qualify as a regulated investment company.
(e) In connection with its advisory Services, the Investment Manager shall allocate investment opportunities among its clients, including the Fund, in a fair and equitable manner, consistent with its fiduciary obligations to clients.

5
(f) The Investment Manager agrees to vote proxies and to provide or withhold consents, or to provide such support as is required or requested by the Board in conjunction with voting proxies and providing or withholding consents, solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which the Funds assets may be invested from time to time, as directed by the Board from time to time.
(g) The Investment Manager agrees that it will maintain all required records, memoranda, instructions or authorizations relating to the management of the assets for the Fund, including with respect to the acquisition or disposition of securities. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Investment Manager hereby agrees that all records that it maintains for each Fund under this Agreement are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon request.
(h) The Fund agrees that it will furnish to the Investment Manager any information that the latter may reasonably request with respect to the Services.
(i) In selecting broker-dealers for execution, the Investment Manager will seek to obtain best execution for securities transactions on behalf of the Fund, except where otherwise directed by the Board. In selecting broker-dealers to execute transactions, the Investment Manager may consider not only available prices (including commissions or mark-up), but also other relevant factors such as, without limitation, the characteristics of the security being traded, the size and difficulty of the transaction, the execution, clearance and settlement capabilities as well as the reputation, reliability, and financial soundness of the broker-dealer selected, the broker-dealers risk in positioning a block of securities, the broker-dealers execution service rendered on a continuing basis and in other transactions, the broker-dealers expertise in particular markets, and the broker-dealers ability to provide research services. To the extent permitted by law, and consistent with its obligation to seek best execution, the Investment Manager may, except where otherwise directed by the Board, execute transactions or pay a broker-dealer a commission or markup in excess of that which another broker-dealer might have charged for executing a transaction, provided that the Investment Manager determines, in good faith, that the execution is appropriate or the commission or markup is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Investment Managers overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and other clients for which it acts as investment adviser. The Investment Manager shall not consider the sale or promotion of shares of the Fund, or other affiliated products, as a factor in the selection of broker dealers through which transactions are executed.
(j) Except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of the Investment Manager in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard by the Investment Manager of its obligations and duties, under this Agreement, neither the Investment Manager nor any of its respective directors, officers, partners, principals, employees, subcontractors or agents shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any loss suffered by the Fund or its shareholders or creditors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Investment Manager and its respective directors, officers, partners, principals, employees and agents, shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected from liability in reasonably relying, upon any information or instructions furnished to it (or any of them as individuals) by the Fund or its agents which is believed in good faith to be accurate and reliable. The Fund understands and acknowledges that the Investment
6
Manager does not warrant any rate of return, market value or performance of any assets in the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the federal securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith and, therefore, nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of any right which the Fund may have under such laws or regulations.
2. | Compensation . |
(a) The Fund agrees to pay to the Investment Manager, in full payment for its Services, a fee as set forth in Schedule B .
(b) The fees payable hereunder shall be accrued daily (unless otherwise directed by the Board consistent with the prospectus and statement of additional information of the Fund) and paid on a monthly basis and, in the event of the effectiveness or termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part with respect to any Fund, during any month, the fees paid to the Investment Manager shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days that this Agreement is in effect during the month with respect to which such payment is made.
(c) The fees payable hereunder shall be paid in cash by the Fund to the Investment Manager within five (5) business days after the last day of each month. A business day shall be any day on which shares of the Fund are available for purchase.

* | When calculating asset levels for purposes of determining fee breakpoints, asset levels are based on net assets of the Fund, including assets invested in any wholly-owned subsidiary advised by the Investment Manager (Subsidiaries). Fees payable by the Fund under this agreement shall be reduced by any management fees paid to the Investment Manager by any Subsidiaries under separate management agreements with the Subsidiaries. |
(1) | Fee is a unitary fee, as contemplated by Section 3(b) of this Agreement, pursuant to which the Investment Manager pays all operating costs and expenses of CMG Ultra Short Term Bond Fund (other than independent trustees fees and expenses, including their legal counsel, auditing expenses, interest incurred on borrowing by the Fund, if any, portfolio transaction expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses), including accounting expenses (other than audit fees), legal fees for the Fund, transfer agent fees, custodian fees, governmental fees, cost of stock certificates and any other expenses (including clerical expenses) of issue, sale, repurchase, or redemption of shares, expenses of registering or qualifying shares for sale, transfer taxes, and all expenses of preparing the Funds registration statement and prospectus, and the cost of printing and delivering to shareholders prospectuses and reports, all executive salaries and executive expenses, office rent of the Fund, ordinary office expenses (other than the expense of clerical services relating to the administration of the Fund) and for any other expenses that, if otherwise borne by the Fund, would cause the Fund to be deemed to be acting as a distributor of securities of which it is the issuer, other than through an underwriter pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. |
(2) | The Investment Manager has agreed to pay all operating expenses of the Fund with the exception of brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of Trustees who are not officers, directors or employees of the Investment Manager or its affiliates, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and any extraordinary non-recurring expenses that may arise, including but not limited to, litigation expenses. |
The computation shall be made for each calendar day on the basis of net assets as of the close of the preceding day. In the case of the suspension of the computation of net asset value, the fee for each calendar day during such suspension shall be computed as of the close of business on the last full day on which the net assets were computed. Net assets as of the close of a full day shall include all transactions in shares of the Fund recorded on the books of the Fund for that day.

AMENDED AND RESTATED DISTRIBUTION PLAN
This Distribution Plan (the Plan) relating to the shares (collectively, the Shares) of the legal entities listed on Exhibits I through IV hereto (each a Trust and collectively, the Trusts), on behalf of each series thereof listed on the applicable exhibit (each a Fund), has been adopted by the trustees of the applicable Trust (the Trustees) in conformity with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The terms and conditions of this Plan shall apply with respect to each Trust on behalf of each Fund that is a series thereof.
Section 1 . The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that is a series thereof, will pay to Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (CMID), or to such other person as may from time to time be engaged and appointed to act as the distributor of its Shares (each such person, including CMID, a Distributor), a fee (the Distribution Fee) at an aggregate annual rate not to exceed the percentage of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to such Shares set forth for such Fund on the applicable exhibit, as compensation for services rendered in connection with the sale of such Shares by the Distributor and related expenses incurred by the Distributor. Subject to such limit and subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, the Distribution Fee shall be as approved from time to time by (a) the Trustees and (b) the Disinterested Trustees (as defined below). The Distribution Fee shall be accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Trustees shall determine.
Each distribution agreement shall provide that the Distributor that is a party to such agreement will receive its Allocable Portion of the fee specified in such agreement. Unless and until a person other than CMID shall serve as a distributor of the Shares of any Trust, CMIDs Allocable Portion of the total Distribution Fee payable in respect of such Shares shall be 100%, and thereafter each Distributors Allocable Portion of the total Distribution Fee payable in respect of Shares of any Fund shall be the portion of the Distribution Fee attributable to (i) outstanding Shares of the Fund sold by the Distributor (Commission Shares), plus (ii) Shares of the Fund issued in connection with the exchange of Commission Shares of another Fund and/or Shares of the Fund issued in reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions in respect of Commission Shares of another Fund, plus (iii) Shares of the Fund issued in reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions in respect of Commission Shares of the Fund; provided that the mechanics of attributing the portion of the Distribution Fee for a Fund to particular Shares for purposes of calculating a Distributors Allocable Portion shall be as agreed by the Trust and the Distributor in light of systems capabilities for tracking the aging, exchange and reinvestment experience of Shares sold by the Distributor.
A Distributor will be deemed to have fully earned its Allocable Portion of the Distribution Fee payable in respect of Shares of a Trust upon the sale of the Commission Shares of the Trust taken into account in determining such Distributors Allocable Portion of such Distribution Fee.
The Distribution Fee shall be payable to the relevant Distributor or, with respect to such portion of the Distribution Fee as the Distributor may from time to time instruct, to the person or persons to whom such Distributor may from time to time instruct the Trust to make payments.
- 1 -
Section 2 . Payments made to a Distributor pursuant to Section 1 may be used by the Distributor for any purpose, including (but not limited to) to compensate or reimburse the Distributor and any banks, broker/dealers or other financial institutions that have entered agreements with the Distributor in conformity with Section 8 (Selling Agents) for distribution or sales support services rendered, and related expenses incurred, for or on behalf of a Fund. The Distributor may pay all or any portion of the Distribution Fee to any Selling Agents (including, but not limited to, any affiliate of the Distributor) as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of the Shares, and may retain all or any portion of the Distribution Fee as compensation for the Distributors services as agent for the distribution of Shares. All payments under this Distribution Plan are intended to qualify as asset-based sales charges as defined in Rule 2830 of the NASD Manual of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (or any successor provision) as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Fund or class of Shares shall make any payments under the Plan that exceed the maximum amounts payable under applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
Joint distribution or sales support financing with respect to a Fund (which financing may also involve other investment portfolios or companies that are affiliated persons of the Fund, or affiliated persons of the Distributor) shall be permitted in accordance with applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as in effect from time to time.
For each Fund Share class, the shareholders of which have approved (or may be deemed to have approved because the plan was adopted before any public offering of such Funds Shares or the sale of such Shares to persons that are not affiliated persons of the Fund or affiliated persons of such persons) a distribution or servicing plan under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act providing for payments in excess of the annual rate at which Distribution Fees are paid hereunder, to the extent any payments made by such Fund pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan and/or Servicing Agreement are deemed to be payments for activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Shares, such payments shall be deemed to have been approved pursuant to this Plan.
Section 3 . Any officer designated by a Trust is authorized to execute and deliver, in the name of and on behalf of the Trust, a written agreement with a Distributor in such a form as may be approved by the Trustees from time to time. Such agreement shall authorize the Distributor to enter into written agreements with Selling Agents, based on such form(s) of sales support agreements as may be approved by the Trustees from time to time and on such additional forms of agreement as the Distributor deems appropriate, provided that the Distributor determines that the Trusts responsibility or liability to any person under, or on account of any acts or statements of any such Selling Agent under, any such sales support agreement does not exceed its responsibility or liability under the form(s) approved by the Trustees, and provided further that the Distributor determines that the overall terms of any such sales support agreement are not materially less advantageous to the Trust than the overall terms of the form(s) approved by the Trustees.
- 2 -
Section 4 . Any person authorized to direct the disposition of monies paid or payable by the Trust pursuant to this Plan or any related agreement shall provide to the Trustees of the Trust, and the Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts so expended and the purposes for which such expenditures were made.
Section 5 . This Plan shall continue in effect with respect to any class of Shares of a Fund for a period of more than one year only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by votes of a majority of the Trustees and a majority of the Disinterested Trustees (as defined below), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.
Section 6 . This Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be spent with respect to any class of Shares of a Fund for distribution hereunder without approval by a vote of at least a majority of the outstanding Shares of such class, and all material amendments of this Plan shall be approved in the manner provided for continuation of this Plan in Section 5.
Section 7 . This Plan is terminable at any time with respect to any class of Shares of any Fund by vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of such class.
Section 8 . All agreements with any person relating to implementation of this Plan shall be in writing, and any agreement related to this Plan shall provide:
A. That such agreement may be terminated with respect to any class of Shares of a Fund at any time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Disinterested Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of such class, on not more than 60 days written notice to any other party to the agreement; and
B. That such agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
Section 9 . The Trust will preserve copies of this Plan, and any agreement or written report regarding this Plan presented to the Trustees, for a period of not less than six years.
Section 10. As used in this Plan, (a) the term Disinterested Trustees shall mean those Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan or any agreements related to it, and (b) the terms assignment and interested person shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the term majority of the outstanding Shares of a class of Shares shall mean the lesser of the 67% or the 50% voting requirements specified in clauses (A) and (B), respectively, of the third sentence of Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act, all subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 11 . A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Trust is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Plan is adopted by the Trustees as Trustees of each Trust, and not individually, and the obligations of any Trust
- 3 -
hereunder are not binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, officers, representatives or agents of the Trust personally, but bind only the assets of the Trust, and all persons dealing with the Trust, a Fund or a class of Shares thereof must look solely to the property belonging to the Trust, such Fund or such class of Shares, respectively, for the enforcement of any claims against the Trust, such Fund or such class of Shares.
