President’s Message

LOGO

 

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide this shareholder report detailing your fund’s performance, portfolio holdings and financial statements. We hope this information is helpful in monitoring your investments as we work through these challenging economic times. We recognize that you have entrusted us with your money and want you to know that our professional investment teams work to interpret the latest economic and market trends with the goal of optimizing portfolio construction for our clients.

The first half of 2009 was defined by extremes. The multiyear lows we witnessed in the early months gave way to a stunning rally for the U.S. financial markets in the spring. A global market rebound may be underway, thanks to the massive fiscal and aggressive monetary policies of governments around the world. In the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index1 was up 15.61%. We believe this challenging economic environment makes it even more important to work with professional money managers while continuing to invest for life events like retirement, college planning, home improvements and career changes.

Retirement income planning has become an increasingly significant focus in the lives of millions of Americans. Recent economic conditions make it even more important to manage short-term obligations such as mortgages, monthly bills and credit card debt while also taking the steps necessary to prepare for or maximize retirement benefits. Better nutrition and medical services can result in U.S. citizens living longer, healthier lives. This means the risk of outliving one’s assets in retirement is very real without proper planning. Financial security and retirement planning is an ongoing process that requires active management of your savings, investments and risks. We encourage you to review your retirement plan regularly so you’ll be better able to meet your retirement needs in the future.

We recognize that economic uncertainty creates great challenges for many investors. Our professional investment teams work diligently to help investors navigate through difficult markets. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to work together towards your investment goals.

Sincerely,

LOGO

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 31.25% without sales charge. The fund participated in a market rally that caused stock prices to rise sharply during the period, but its return was somewhat lower than the 34.02% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index1, which includes speculative names that do not meet the fund’s criteria. The average return of funds in its peer group, the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Classification2, was 37.06%. While an emphasis on higher-quality stocks detracted from the fund’s relative returns during the period, we believe it will help once the market normalizes to reflect values more representative of company fundamentals.

 

n  

The fund benefited most from holdings in the technology, financials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. Technology names that were among early beneficiaries of positive economic news included Hewlett-Packard, EMC and Microsoft (1.4%, 1.4%, and 3.7% of net assets, respectively). A recovery in the financial markets buoyed investment banks JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs (1.6% and 1.8% of net assets, respectively). Early signs of economic recovery also helped Starwood Hotels & Resorts and retailers Target and TJX (0.5%, 5.1% and 0.9% of net assets, respectively). Increased corporate spending boosted several industrial names, including General Electric and Parker Hannifin (1.9% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively).

 

n  

The fund’s disappointments for the period included Sprint Nextel, which continued to lose subscribers to other providers; agricultural company Monsanto (0.5% of net assets), which experienced weakened demand and reduced pricing for its products; and Burger King, which lost ground when a forecasted turnaround failed to materialize. We sold Burger King and Sprint.

 

n  

A positive shift in market sentiment was understandable in view of expectations for an economic recovery, but its speed and magnitude were surprising and we expect market volatility to linger. We continue to draw on three independent and uncorrelated research sources — fundamental research, systematic models and input from the portfolio management team — to take advantage of opportunities arising from market disruptions that often accompany market volatility.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

The Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2008. The returns of the Class A and Class C shares shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 are those of the Shares class shares of Blended Equity Fund, the predecessor to the Fund and a series of Excelsior Funds, Inc. (the “Predecessor Fund”). The returns shown reflect applicable sales charges, but have not been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses. If differences in expenses were reflected, the returns shown for the periods prior to March 31, 2008 would be lower. The returns of the Class Z shares shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 are those of the Shares class shares of the Predecessor Fund. The returns of Class Z shares shown have not been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses. If differences in expenses were reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 would be higher.

Inception date refers to the date on which the Fund class commenced operations for Classes A and C and the date on which the Predecessor Fund class commenced operations for Class Z.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Blended Equity Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual”. Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchase and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Class Z

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,314.81   1,019.70   6.21   5.42   1.07

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 37.84% without sales charge. The fund’s benchmark, the S&P North American Natural Resources Sector Index1, returned 38.74% for the period. The average return of its peer group, the Lipper Natural Resources Funds Classification2, was 44.09%. While the fund produced solid gains on an absolute basis, its relative performance fell short of its benchmark because of holdings in two non-benchmark utilities companies, which underperformed natural resource companies, and also because of a lack of exposure to forest products companies.

 

n  

The fund’s increasing emphasis on energy resource development companies helped drive strong absolute returns during the six months. Investments in exploration and production companies, such as Northern Oil & Gas and EXCO Resources (each 1.7% of net assets), and oil field service companies, such as Weatherford International (2.8% of net assets), all supported performance. Among natural resources investments in the materials sector, the top contributor was Walter Energy (1.5% of net assets), a leading global coal producer.

 

n  

Rising crude oil prices accompanied by reduced demand for refined oil products led to shrinking margins in refining and marketing operations, squeezing the profits of the large integrated oil companies. We sold one notable disappointment in the integrated oil group, Exxon Mobil, while reducing the fund’s exposure to other poor-performing companies, including Chevron and Total (2.4% and 2.2% of net assets, respectively). In materials, we liquidated positions in weak-performers Monsanto and Scotts Miracle-Gro. Both were hurt by declining demand for fertilizers.

 

n  

Looking ahead, we believe that independent natural gas and oil companies should continue to benefit from rising production volumes and growth in reserves. As a result, we have more exposure than the index to the group. We have emphasized gas producers, because we think that natural gas prices have the potential to rise again after declines over the past six months. At the same time, we believe that major integrated oil companies, which we have underweighted relative to the index, face pressures in refining and marketing operations. In materials, we added emphasis to base metals companies, such as copper, iron ore and coking coal, which we think are positioned to benefit from strong demand in China.

The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) North American Natural Resources Sector Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted equity index designed as a benchmark for U.S. traded securities in the natural resources sector. The index includes companies involved in the following categories: extractive industries, energy companies, owners and operators of timber tracts, forestry services, producers of pulp and paper and owners of plantations.

Portfolio Management

Michael E. Hoover has managed the fund since March 2008 and the predecessor fund since December 1995 and has been associated with the advisor or its predecessors since 1989.

 

 

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from those presented for other Columbia Funds.

Equity securities are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

Energy and natural resources stocks have been volatile. They may be affected by rising interest rates and inflation and can also be affected by factors such as natural events (for example, earthquakes or fires) and international politics.

The fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a “diversified” fund. This 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, the fund’s value will likely be more volatile than the value of more diversified funds.

The Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2008. The returns of the Class A and Class C shares shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 include the returns of Class A shares or Class C shares, as applicable, of Energy and Natural Resources Fund, the predecessor to the Fund and a series of Excelsior Funds, Inc. (the “Predecessor Fund”), for periods after September 27, 2007, and include the returns of Shares class shares of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to September 28, 2007. The returns shown reflect applicable sales charges, but have not been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses. If differences in expenses were reflected, the returns shown for the periods prior to September 28, 2007 would be lower. The returns of the Class Z shares shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 are those of Shares class shares of the Predecessor Fund. The returns of Class Z shares shown have not been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses. If differences in expenses were reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 would be higher.

Inception date refers to the date on which the Fund class commenced operations for Classes A and C and the date on which the Predecessor Fund class commenced operations for Class Z.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume the reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Energy and Natural Resources Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual”. Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 41.83% without sales charge. The fund participated in the period’s market rally, but its return fell short of the returns of its benchmarks, the Russell MidCap Index and the Russell MidCap Value Index.1 The benchmarks, which include speculative names that do not meet the fund’s criteria, returned 45.71% and 49.51%, respectively. The fund performed in line with the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Mid Cap Core Funds Classification2, which was 41.97%.

 

n  

Holdings in the consumer, financials and technology sectors helped drive the fund’s returns. Early signs of economic recovery boosted Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Polo Ralph Lauren, Nordstrom and TJX (0.9%, 0.9%, 0.9%, and 1.0% of net assets, respectively). Increased slot-machine sales buoyed gaming equipment supplier Bally Technologies, and auto parts supplier Autoliv benefited from the U.S. government’s “Cash for Clunkers” program (0.7% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively). Business growth in emerging markets helped cosmetics firm Avon Products, baby formula supplier Mead Johnson Nutrition and cellular operator NII Holdings (1.4%, 0.5%, and 0.8% of net assets, respectively). Regional banks, diversified financials and insurers benefiting from the financial markets recovery included Fifth Third, Ameriprise Financial and Prudential Financial (1.1%, 1.2%, and 1.2% of net assets, respectively). Brocade Communications Systems also rebounded strongly (0.5% of net assets).

 

n  

Several holdings had disappointing results. An overabundance of coal hurt pricing at Consolidated Energy. Sprint Nextel continued to lose subscribers to other providers. Website server host Akamai Technology experienced price deterioration as competition heated up, and Burger King lost ground when a forecasted turnaround failed to materialize. We sold all four names.

 

n  

A positive shift in market sentiment was understandable as expectations for an economic recovery increased, but its speed and magnitude were surprising and we expect market volatility will linger. Historically, mid-cap stocks have performed well coming out of recessionary periods, and a near-term consolidation trend may benefit mid-caps further. We continue to draw on three independent and uncorrelated research sources — fundamental research, systematic models and input from the portfolio management team — to take advantage of opportunities arising from the market disruptions that often accompany market volatility.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 34.14%, without sales charge. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index1, which returned 32.58% for the period. Its return was also higher than the 31.35% average return of its peer group, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Classification2. We attribute the fund’s strong performance to stock selection, primarily in health care and telecommunications services, and to a significant underweight in consumer staples.

 

n  

In health care, positive stock selection offset the impact of the fund’s overweight in the sector relative to its benchmark. Intuitive Surgical, a robotic surgical device company, and Covance (2.1% of net assets), a contract research organization (CRO), were the two best contributors for the sector. Intuitive Surgical was sold before the end of the period. Eye-care company Alcon (3.2% of net assets) also turned in a strong performance. Returns in telecommunication services were boosted by American Movil (3.2% of net assets), a Latin American wireless operator. The fund had substantially less exposure to the consumer staples sector, which also helped relative performance, as consumer staples generated only mediocre returns.

 

n  

Stock selection in consumer discretionary, industrials and materials detracted from results. Many of the fund’s consumer discretionary investments generated solid returns. However, the fund lacked exposure to some of the sector’s strongest performers. Additionally, GameStop and Apollo Group (3.7% and 4.1% of net assets, respectively) were performance laggards. In the industrials sector, First Solar and Expeditors International of Washington (each 2.9% of net assets) produced solid results but trailed the sector’s nearly 35% rise.

 

n  

We plan to continue to seek companies that we believe can sustain above-average growth in an environment marked by slow economic and earnings growth. Companies with stronger balance sheets, low debt and strong free cash flow have the potential to gain market share at the expense of weaker competitors in this environment. We believe that could make stock selection even more important than it was during the previous period, when investors demonstrated little name-by-name differentiation. We believe that our focus on strong company fundamentals and selectivity is a good match for the market climate going forward.

Table of Contents

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual”. Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 40.54% without sales charge. The fund outperformed its benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index1 and the Russell 1000 Index2, which returned 34.02% and 35.22%, respectively, for the period. The fund’s return was higher than the 37.06% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Classification3. Both stock selection and the fund’s sector weights contributed to the fund’s strong relative performance.

 

n  

The period began just weeks after the end of a major stock market sell-off, and the ensuing rebound from depressed valuations produced strong returns for the six-month period. While the price of oil rose during the period, the energy sector overall lagged the broader market. For the fund, the energy sector was an area of positive relative performance. Cimarex Energy (0.7% of net assets) rose sharply during the period and the fund’s holdings in the Brazilian company Petroleo Brasileiro (0.6% of net assets) also aided performance. The fund also had strong performance from several holdings in the consumer staples area, notably Avon Products, Mead Johnson Nutrition and Herbalife (0.7%, 0.6%, and 0.5% of net assets, respectively). In technology, Apple and Brocade Communications Systems (1.8% and 0.4% of net assets, respectively) were strong performers. In the utilities sector, AES (0.8% of net assets ) rose sharply during the period. While the benchmarks’ financial stocks registered strong returns during the period, the fund’s financial sector holdings did not keep pace with its benchmarks. The relative underperformance from stock selection in the financials sector was partially offset by the fund’s sector weight.

 

n  

In our last report, we indicated that we were finding many compelling investment opportunities in the United States. Our purchases since then have included small-to medium-sized companies such as Jo-Ann Stores, CARBO Ceramics and Fifth Third Bancorp (0.6%, 0.7% and 0.8% of net assets, respectively). As the new reporting period begins, we are finding compelling emerging market investments, even after a strong rally in that arena in 2009. Investments in this category include the Indonesian company PT Perusahaan Gas Negara and Brazilian company Hypermarcas (0.5% and 0.6% of net assets, respectively).

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 45.04% without sales charge. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index1, which returned 43.95% for the period and also outperformed the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Small- Cap Core Funds Classification2, which was 44.31%. Being fully invested when stock prices declined, rather than holding a significant stake in cash, contributed to the fund’s success over its benchmark and peer group. In addition, the portfolio’s concentrated positioning — with fewer than 55 holdings at the end of the period — helped when stocks rebounded.

 

n  

The fund benefited from significant overweights in three areas: industrials, materials and consumer discretionary. Stocks in these sectors were severely hurt during the downturn, representing great opportunities at the levels to which they had declined. Specifically, Walter Energy (1.5% of net assets), a coal company, was punished when the markets and commodity prices declined, but rallied strongly later in the period. Kansas City Southern (2.7% of net assets), which transports cars by train, also rose from a low valuation, benefiting from increased car sales, the result of the government-sponsored “Cash for Clunkers” program. Home products retailer Williams-Sonoma (3.3% of net assets) gained, as it was a well-recognized name with a solid balance sheet. On the downside, Aqua America, one of the largest water utilities in the United States, lost ground as investors shifted assets away from more defensive stocks. We sold the position. An underweight in health care also detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.

 

n  

We believe that the stock market offers the potential to move higher. A modest pickup in the economy should help companies generate higher revenues, which, when combined with the cost cutting that has already been done, should generate considerable earnings leverage. In this environment, we have added to the fund’s position in banks, an area that was punished hard in the recent market downturn. The fund was underweight in banks, which served the portfolio well when the markets declined sharply in 2008. However, they look more attractive now with their low valuations and the benefit of low interest rates. As a result of these attractive industry factors, we initiated positions in Wintrust Financial and Zions Bancorp (1.8% and 2.5% of net assets respectively) during the period.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Select Small Cap Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual”. Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 51.18% without sales charge. These results were significantly higher than the returns of the fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 1000 Value Index and the S&P 500® Index1, which were 37.99% and 34.02%, respectively, for the period. The fund also outperformed the 40.26% average return of its peer group, the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Classification2. Stock selection in economically sensitive sectors, such as energy, financials and materials, propelled the fund’s superior performance.

 

n  

We emphasized attractively priced stocks, especially those of corporations that are potential candidates for acquisitions, as well as shares of companies taking advantage of explosive growth outside the U.S., particularly in emerging markets. Energy and materials holdings benefited from global growth trends and from rising concerns about inflation. In this regard, shares of Petroleo Brasiliero (5.3% of net assets), the Brazilian oil giant, and coal miners CONSOL Energy and Alpha Natural Resources (3.2% and 3.2% of net assets, respectively) all produced robust returns. Celanese, a global chemical company, and miner Southern Copper (1.9% and 2.5% of net assets, respectively) also outperformed. In the financials sector, Goldman Sachs Group, JPMorgan Chase and commercial insurance giant ACE (2.4%, 1.9% and 3.0% of net assets, respectively) produced solid returns.

 

n  

The fund’s few disappointments were stock specific. We invested in agricultural machinery corporation AGCO (1.6% of net assets) because of its emerging markets exposure, but earnings fell short of projections. We retained the investment because we continued to be impressed by its longer-term prospects. Another weak performer, CIT Group, a troubled commercial lender, was sold as it neared bankruptcy reorganization.

 

n  

We intend to maintain our focus on globally-oriented companies that offer solid growth prospects, especially from their emerging-market exposure. Stock valuations appear reasonable and several global mergers and acquisitions have been announced recently, boding well for our style. One reason for caution, however, is the push for greater domestic government spending, which could deprive the private sector of needed resources.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuation that occur in response to economic and business developments.

Value stocks are securities of companies that may have experienced adverse business or industry developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. The price of the company’s stock may not approach the value the manager has placed on it or may decline.

International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

Some of the countries in which the fund invests are considered emerging economies, which means there may be greater risks associated with investing there than in more developed countries. In addition, concentration of investments in a single region may result in greater volatility.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 60.35% without sales charge. The fund’s results were mixed compared to both of its benchmarks. The MSCI EAFE Index1 returned 49.85% for the period. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index2 (net of dividends) returned 62.90% and the MSCI Emerging Market Index (gross of dividends) returned 63.21% for the period. As of August 31, 2009 and going forward, fund performance will only be compared to the index net of dividends, a figure that includes the impact of an estimated withholding tax on dividend reinvestment in its return. The fund fell short of the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Classification3, which was 66.32%. The fund produced strong results on an absolute basis. Early in the period, when financially weaker corporations led the market’s sharp comeback, its focus on higher-quality companies accounted for a modest shortfall relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. However, the fund’s quality emphasis supported results as the period progressed.

 

n  

Emerging markets entered the 2008 global economic slowdown in healthier financial condition than developed markets on the fiscal, household and corporate level. This allowed them to recover faster than developed markets in 2009. Throughout the six-month period, we maintained our focus on well-run, financially sound companies, which stand to benefit from growing consumer classes and spreading industrialization in emerging markets. We overweighted countries that have good long-term growth prospects and were in a position to stimulate their economies through fiscal and monetary means, such as China, Brazil, Indonesia, India and Turkey. While this focus on strong economies generally helped, China was an exception, as it underperformed in the rally after outperforming in the latter half of 2008’s market declines.

 

n  

Selections in economically-sensitive areas such as financials and energy added to results. In financials, we overweighted quality banks in countries with sound banking systems. Noteworthy outperformers included Itau Unibanco Holding of Brazil, ICICI Bank of India and Turkiye Garanti Bankasi of Turkey (2.2%, 1.4% and 0.8% of net assets, respectively). In energy, rising crude prices fueled solid results from oil companies Petroleo Brazileiro of Brazil and LUKOIL OAO of Russia (5.2% and 1.9% of net assets, respectively). Holding back results were investments in South African miners AngloGold Ashanti and Harmony Gold Mining (0.4% and 0.2% of net assets, respectively). Their returns lagged those of base metals stocks. The position in China Mobile (1.2% of net assets) also detracted.

Fund Profile (continued) – Columbia Emerging Markets Fund

 

n  

We believe that developing economies have the potential to continue to expand, lending support to equity returns from emerging markets. Although stocks no longer sell at the relatively low valuations we witnessed earlier this year, we continue to find a number of attractive opportunities. Going forward, we intend to maintain our strategy, focusing on quality companies benefiting from the long-term secular trends of an emerging middle class in developing economies and the continued industrialization of these countries.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from those presented for other Columbia Funds.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

Some of the countries in which the fund invests are considered emerging economies, which means there may be greater risks associated with investing there than in more developed countries. In addition, concentration of investments in a single region may result in greater volatility.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Emerging Markets Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual”. Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 37.51% without sales charge. The fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index1, returned 41.81% for the period. The average return of the fund’s peer group, the Lipper International Large-Cap Growth Funds Classification2, was 44.21%. During the period, our quantitative models pointed to stocks with momentum characteristics. However, momentum stocks were out of favor during the period and the stocks selected for these characteristics generally accounted for the fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark. Nevertheless, the fund generated solid returns as the stock market rebounded.

 

n  

We moved out of defensive stocks and focused on companies that we believed had the potential do well early in an economic recovery. Many of these companies were engaged in banking, infrastructure development and technology, which were themes in the portfolio. Financials were particularly noteworthy, with the National Bank of Greece and Hongkong Land Holdings (1.3% and 0.7% of net assets, respectively) among the leaders. Both stocks declined sharply during the credit crisis and were attractively valued when we bought them. In addition, Hongkong Land benefited from China’s stimulus plan, which targeted improving the real estate sector. Siemens (1.5% of net assets), a leader in infrastructure development through its power engineering and transmission business, was a top performer. After completing a restructuring program, the company reported increased earnings growth. In technology, Shinko Electric Industries (1.3% of net assets) did well. When we purchased the stock, the outlook for semiconductor companies was poor, and many analysts believed that Shinko would suffer substantial losses. We felt these views were overstated and that the company had the potential to be profitable.

 

n  

We are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the international equity markets going forward. We believe that liquidity in the global markets should help support companies poised to benefit from an economic recovery. Therefore, we plan to continue to focus on the themes of banking, infrastructure development and technology in emerging and developed markets.

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 49.90% without sales charge. The fund outperformed both of its benchmarks. The MSCI EAFE Index1 returned 49.85% for the period. The MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index2 (gross of dividends) returned 47.85% and the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index (net of dividends) returned 47.69% for the period. As of August 31, 2009 and going forward, fund performance will only be compared to the index net of dividends, a figure that includes the impact of an estimated withholding tax on dividend reinvestment in its return. The fund’s return was also higher than the 47.64% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Pacific Region Funds Classification.3 Overweights in China and Thailand, and stock selection in companies that we believe could benefit during an economic recovery, were the main drivers of return.

 

n  

Investments in the financials sector were the best performers, with two of the biggest contributors located in India, where the housing market is in the early stages of development. These were LIC Housing Finance and Bank of Baroda, a regional bank (0.7% and 0.8% of net assets, respectively). Solid performance also came from real estate companies in Hong Kong, and Hongkong Land Holdings (1.0% of net assets) is an example. Semiconductors are the foundation for electronics products, and semiconductor companies are often market leaders early in an economic recovery when demand for electronics products picks up. Samsung Electronics and Macronix International (2.7% and 1.0% of net assets, respectively) are examples of semiconductor holdings that provided a performance edge. Venture (1.0% of net assets), a contract manufacturer for the electronics industry, was also noteworthy. Consumer discretionary holdings generated mixed results. Dongfeng Motor Group (1.0% of net assets) had a positive impact, as auto sales in China posted double-digit growth. However, certain defensive stocks did poorly when it appeared that the economy was improving. Jupiter Telecommunications, a cable systems company in Japan, and BEC World, a media company in Thailand, were disappointing, and we sold them.

 

n  

The Pacific Asia region had less exposure to the source of the economic downturn, which was the credit crisis in the United States. While the region was affected by a reduction in exports, its domestic economies stayed relatively strong. Looking ahead, we expect the Pacific Asian countries to outperform because they have relatively high economic growth rates and less debt than countries that have had to bailout their financial systems.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from those presented for other Columbia Funds.

Equity investments are affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.

International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial accounting standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments.

Some of the countries in which the fund invests are considered emerging economies, which means there may be greater risks associated with investing there than in more developed countries. In addition, concentration of investments in a single region may result in greater volatility.

* The annual operating expense ratio is as stated in the fund’s prospectus that is current as of the date of this report and includes the expenses incurred by the investment companies in which the fund invests. Differences in expense ratios disclosed elsewhere in this report may result from including expenses incurred by the investment companies, fee waivers and expense reimbursements as well as different time periods used in calculating the ratios.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

The Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2008. The returns of the Class A and Class C shares shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 are those of the Shares class shares of Pacific/Asia Fund, the predecessor to the Fund and a series of Excelsior Funds, Inc. (the “Predecessor Fund”). The returns shown reflect applicable sales charges, but have not been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses. If differences in expenses were reflected, the returns shown for the periods prior to March 31, 2008 would be lower. The returns of the Class Z shares shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 are those of the Shares class shares of the Predecessor Fund. The returns shown reflect that Class Z shares are sold without sales charges, but have not been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses. If differences in expenses were reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to March 31, 2008 would be higher. The inception of the predecessor fund is December 31, 1992.

Inception date refers to the date on which the Fund class commenced operations for Classes A and C and the date on which the Predecessor Fund class commenced operations for Class Z.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual”. Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Class Z

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,502.22   1,017.25   9.79   7.89   1.56

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements – Equity Funds

September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust:

Columbia Blended Equity Fund

Columbia Energy and Natural Resources Fund

Columbia Mid Cap Core Fund

Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund

Columbia Select Opportunities Fund

Columbia Select Small Cap Fund

Columbia Value and Restructuring Fund

Columbia Emerging Markets Fund

Columbia International Growth Fund

Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund

Each Fund is diversified, with the exception of Columbia Energy and Natural Resources Fund, which is non-diversified.

Investment Objectives

Each Fund sees long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares. Columbia Blended Equity Fund, Columbia Energy and Natural Resources Fund, Columbia Select Opportunities Fund, Columbia Emerging Markets Fund, Columbia International Growth Fund and Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund each offer three classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class Z. Columbia Mid Cap Core Fund, Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund, Columbia Select Small Cap Fund, and Columbia Value and Restructuring Fund each offer four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if the shares are sold within one year after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class R and Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class R and Class Z shares, as described in each Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain ratios have been reclassified on the Financial Highlights to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. The changes have no effect on the ratios.

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 20, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and except as disclosed in Note 14, noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation

Equity securities, exchange-traded funds and securities of certain investments companies are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.

Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Purchased options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, at the last quoted bid price.

 

136


Table of Contents

Equity Funds

September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

Written options are valued at the last reported sale price, or in the absence of a sale, at the last quoted ask price.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies.

Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Funds’ shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Funds’ net asset values. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.

 

Management establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

n  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

n  

Level 2 — prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

 

n  

Level 3 — prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Management is required to provide disclosures regarding the Funds’ derivative instruments and hedging activities, by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their derivative contracts. For additional information on derivative instruments, please see Note 6.

Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), the Funds’ investment advisor, has determined are creditworthy. Each Fund, through its

 

137


Table of Contents

Equity Funds

September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on each Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized and accreted, respectively, on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.

Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-date except for certain foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the Funds become aware of such, net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings.

Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of their income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.

 

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to such Fund.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Funds on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt or taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, each Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that each Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Foreign Capital Gains Taxes

Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Funds accrue for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for each Fund except Columbia Emerging Markets Fund, Columbia International Growth Fund and Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund, each of which declares and pays distributions from net investment income semi-annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against a Fund. Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by each Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

The Funds have entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the “Financial Reporting Services Agreement”) with State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”) and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Funds. The Funds have also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the “State Street Agreements”) with State Street and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Funds. Under the State Street Agreements, each Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of each Fund for the month. The aggregate fee per Fund will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Funds also reimburse State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

The Funds have entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Funds reimburse Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses.

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Funds and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.34 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Funds.

The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Funds and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Funds. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below each Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Funds.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Funds’ shares. For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts on the sale of Class A shares and received net CDSC fees on Class A and Class C share redemptions as follows:

The Trust has adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which require the payment of distribution and service fees. The fees are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors. The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of each Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the annual rate of 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class R shares, respectively, of each Fund.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements

Effective August 1, 2009, Columbia has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Funds’ expenses so that ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Funds’ custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:

The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, pay their pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. Each Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.

The Trust’s eligible Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Funds’ assets.

As a result of fund mergers, certain Funds assumed the liabilities of the deferred compensation plan of the acquired fund, which are included in “Trustees’ fees” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred compensation plan may be terminated at any time. Any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Funds’ assets.

Other Related Party Transactions

In connection with the purchase and sale of its securities during the period, the Funds used one or more brokers that are affiliates of BOA. Total brokerage commissions paid to affiliated brokers for the six month period ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:

Note 5. Custody Credits

Each Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statements of Operations. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if they had not entered into such an agreement.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, these custody credits reduced total expenses for the Funds as follows:

Note 6. Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivatives

Objectives

Columbia International Growth Fund and Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund use derivatives instruments including options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to meet each Fund’s investment objectives. Each Fund employs strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease or change the level of exposure to market risk factors. The achievement of any strategy relating to derivatives depends on an analysis of various risk factors, and if the strategies for use of derivatives do not work as intended, each Fund may not achieve its investment objectives.

In pursuit of the Funds’ investment objectives, the Funds are exposed to the following market risks:

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk — Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign-currency-denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

The following notes provide more detailed information about each derivative type held by the Funds:

Options — Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund wrote covered call options to decrease the Fund’s exposure to equity risk and to increase return on instruments. A written covered call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying instruments depreciate relative to the strike price.

Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or

 

144


Table of Contents

Equity Funds

September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amounts paid on the underlying security transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Each Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. There is the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Funds’ custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio securities equal to the amount of the written options contract commitment in a separate account.

Each Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds may pay a premium, which is included in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the amounts paid (call) or offset against the proceeds (put) on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. If a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the closing transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Columbia International Growth Fund and Columbia Pacific/ Asia Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to shift their investment exposure from one currency to another. These Funds used forward contracts to shift their U.S. dollar exposure in order to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in their benchmarks and/or to recover an underweight country exposure in their portfolios.

Columbia International Growth Fund and Columbia Pacific/ Asia Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of shifting foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. Certain Funds may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. Certain Funds may also enter into these contracts to reduce the exposure to adverse price movements in certain other foreign currency denominated assets. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are generally used to reduce the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become realized at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Funds’ portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Funds could also be exposed to risk that counterparties of the contracts may be unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts.

Note 11. Line of Credit

The Funds and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street. The maximum amount that may be borrowed by any fund is limited to the lesser of $200,000,000 and the Fund’s borrowing limit set forth in the Fund’s registration statement. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, an annual operations agency fee of $20,000, an amendment fee of 0.02% and a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed, and the weighted average interest rate of each Fund that borrowed were as follows:

Note 13. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Non-Diversification Risk

As a non-diversified mutual fund, Columbia Energy and Natural Resources Fund is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.

Foreign Securities Risk

There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign securities. These risks may involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and economic developments and the possible prevention of currency exchange or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition, the liquidity of foreign securities may be more limited than that of domestic securities.

Investments in emerging market countries are subject to additional risk. The risk of foreign investments is typically increased in less developed countries. These countries are also more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation which could hurt their economies and securities markets.

Geographic Concentration Risk

Because Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund’s investments are concentrated in the Asia/Pacific region, events within the region will have a greater effect on the Fund than if the Fund were more geographically diversified. In addition, events in any one country within the region may impact the other countries or the region as a whole. Markets in the region can experience significant volatility due to social, regulatory and political uncertainties.

Legal Proceedings

Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) are subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and a settlement order with the SEC (the “SEC Order”) on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group (or predecessor entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties collectively totaling $140 million; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; and retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain funds in the Columbia family of mutual funds in a projected total of $160 million over five years through November 30, 2009 and to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the Columbia Group providing services to the Columbia Funds, the Columbia Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees and certain special consulting and compliance measures.

Pursuant to the SEC Order and related procedures, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above has been substantially distributed in accordance with a distribution plan that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

In connection with the events described above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.

On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”), Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (now named Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”), the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of

America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.

On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court’s memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts. As to Columbia and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“ICA”) and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.

On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that certain conduct, including market timing, entitled Class B shareholders in certain Columbia Funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption (the “CDSC Lawsuit”). The CDSC Lawsuit was removed to federal court in Massachusetts and transferred to the MDL.

On September 14, 2007, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a stipulation of settlement with respect to all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. The settlement is subject to court approval.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On October 15, 2009, the committed line of credit discussed in Note 11 was renewed on amended terms. Pursuant to the amended terms, interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. The annual operations agency fee of $20,000 was waived.

Effective November 1, 2009, the annual rate the Transfer Agent receives for the services discussed in Note 4 will change to $22.36 per open account.

President’s Message

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide this shareholder report detailing your fund’s performance, portfolio holdings and financial statements. We hope this information is helpful in monitoring your investments as we work through these challenging economic times. We recognize that you have entrusted us with your money and want you to know that our professional investment teams work to interpret the latest economic and market trends with the goal of optimizing portfolio construction for our clients.

The first half of 2009 was defined by extremes. The multiyear lows we witnessed in the early months gave way to a stunning rally for the U.S. financial markets in the spring. A global market rebound may be underway, thanks to the massive fiscal and aggressive monetary policies of governments around the world. In the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index1 was up 15.61%. We believe this challenging economic environment makes it even more important to work with professional money managers while continuing to invest for life events like retirement, college planning, home improvements and career changes.

Retirement income planning has become an increasingly significant focus in the lives of millions of Americans. Recent economic conditions make it even more important to manage short-term obligations such as mortgages, monthly bills and credit card debt while also taking the steps necessary to prepare for or maximize retirement benefits. Better nutrition and medical services can result in U.S. citizens living longer, healthier lives. This means the risk of outliving one’s assets in retirement is very real without proper planning. Financial security and retirement planning is an ongoing process that requires active management of your savings, investments and risks. We encourage you to review your retirement plan regularly so you’ll be better able to meet your retirement needs in the future.

We recognize that economic uncertainty creates great challenges for many investors. Our professional investment teams work diligently to help investors navigate through difficult markets. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to work together towards your investment goals.

Sincerely,

Summary

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 16.42% without sales charge. The fund’s return comfortably outdistanced the 5.59% return of its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index1, for the same period. The fund also outperformed the average return of its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Classification2, which was 11.46% for the period. The fund’s greater weight in high-yield and investment-grade corporate issues, two areas that recorded exceptional gains, explains most of its strong outperformance of the benchmark. The fund was also underweight in Treasuries, which proved beneficial to return. We believe that the fund’s security selection in investment-grade corporate debt and high yield accounted for its outperformance relative to its peer group average.

 

n  

As economic anxiety abated last spring, bond investors did an about face, moving out of safer havens to seek higher returns in riskier assets. Early in this period, we took advantage of exceptionally low valuations to expand investment-grade and high-yield credits and to augment financial holdings. In insurance, Liberty Mutual and Principal Life (0.6% and 0.9% of net assets, respectively) rebounded sharply from depressed levels that seemed unrealistic. Distressed securities, including non-agency mortgages and subordinated auto company debt, made important contributions to return as lower-rated issues delivered some of the period’s largest gains. We also overweighted pipeline companies, a move that benefited returns thanks to sharp price rises in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and Energy Transfer Partners (0.8 and 0.5% of net assets, respectively).

 

n  

The last six months produced the biggest value increase in investment-grade and high-yield bonds within memory, and the best gains may be behind us. But we believe today’s healthy coupons provide fair compensation for investors, given the low default risk among investment-grade issues. Over the next year, we believe that yields have the potential to continue to decline and prices on corporate issues to rise, narrowing the yield advantage that corporates provide currently over Treasury issues. Life insurance and subordinated bank debt still appear to offer good value, as do certain mortgage bonds backed by commercial property. We may scale back the fund’s credit exposure over upcoming months.

Portfolio Management

Carl W. Pappo, lead manager for the fund, has co-managed the fund since March 2005 and has been associated with the advisor or its predecessors since 1993.

Kevin Cronk has co-managed the fund since March 2003 and has been associated with the advisor or its predecessors since 1999.

Lee Reddin has co-managed the fund since June 2007 and has been associated with the advisor or its predecessors or affiliate organizations since 2000.

 

 

 

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this fund may differ from that presented for other Columbia Funds.

Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yield and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.

Investments in high-yield securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) offer the potential for high current income and attractive total return but involve certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a junk bond issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. Rising interest rates tend to lower the value of all bonds. High-yield bonds issued by foreign entities have greater potential risks, including less regulation, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 3.25% for Class A shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 3.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the fourth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower. Prior to August 22, 2005, new purchases of Class A shares had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%. The 5 & 10 year average annual total returns with sales charge as of 09/30/09 include the previous sales charge of 4.75%. The 6-month (cumulative) return and 1-year return with sales charge as of 09/30/09 include the new sales charge of 3.25%.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class R shares are sold at net asset value with distribution and service (12b-1) fees. Class Z and R shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Class A share performance information includes returns of Class Z shares (the oldest existing share class) for periods prior to July 31, 2000. Class B and Class C share performance information includes returns of Class A shares for the period from July 31, 2000 through February 1, 2002, and the returns of Class Z shares for periods prior thereto. Class R share performance information includes returns of Class A shares for the period from July 31, 2000 through January 22, 2006, and the returns of Class Z shares for periods prior thereto. These returns shown for these share classes reflect any differences in sales charges, but have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses, such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, between Class Z or Class A shares, as applicable, and the corresponding newer share classes. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer classes of shares would have been lower. Class A shares were initially offered on July 31, 2000; Class B and Class C shares were initially offered on February 1, 2002; Class R shares were initially offered on January 23, 2006; and Class Z shares were initially offered on December 5, 1978.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual.” Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee.

This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

Class B

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,159.89   1,016.80   8.93   8.34   1.65

Class C

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,160.69   1,017.55   8.12   7.59   1.50

Class R

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,162.69   1,019.30   6.23   5.82   1.15

Class Z

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,165.60   1,021.81   3.53   3.29   0.65

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of Class A and Class C expenses, Class A and Class C account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements – Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund

September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the “Trust”), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return, consisting of current income and capital appreciation.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, and the Fund offers five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable. Effective June 22, 2009, the Fund no longer accepts investments in Class B shares from new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund, and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of other Columbia Funds.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.25% based on the amount of initial investment. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if the shares are sold within one year after purchase. Class B shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 3.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares sold within one year after purchase. Class R and Class Z shares are offered continuously at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on the purchase of Class R and Class Z shares, as described in the Fund’s prospectuses.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through November 20, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and except as disclosed in Note 13, noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.

Certain debt securities, which tend to be more thinly traded and of lesser quality, are priced based on fundamental analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and the estimated value of any collateral. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities, and the potential variation may be greater for those securities valued using fundamental analysis.

Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the closing bid price on such exchanges or over-the-counter markets.

Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies.

Credit default swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers. Quotations obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers.

Foreign securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the foreign exchange or market on which they trade. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Fund’s shares are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such foreign securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE, which would not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the values of such foreign securities occur and it is determined that market quotations are not reliable, then these foreign securities will be valued at their fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine value.

Management establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

n  

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

n  

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

 

n  

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or less reliable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Management is required to provide disclosures regarding the Fund’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their derivative contracts. For additional information on derivative instruments, please see Note 6.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“Columbia”), the Fund’s investment advisor, has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Columbia is

 

34


Table of Contents

Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund

responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date not exceeding 120 days. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund would benefit to the extent of any difference between the price received for the securities sold and the lower forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”) or fee income plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. Unless such benefits exceed the income, capital appreciation and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared with what such performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund will hold and maintain in a segregated account until the settlement date, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.

The Fund’s policy is to record the components of mortgage dollar rolls using “to be announced” mortgage-backed securities. For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.

Mortgage dollar rolls involve certain risks. If the broker-dealer to whom the Fund sells the securities becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to purchase or repurchase the mortgage-related securities may be restricted and the instruments which the Fund is required to repurchase may be worth less than instruments which the Fund originally held. Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls may depend upon the investment advisor’s ability to predict correctly interest rates and mortgage prepayments. For these reasons, there is no assurance that mortgage dollar rolls can be successfully employed.

Delayed Delivery Securities

The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund holds until the settlement date, in a segregated account, cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

Stripped Securities

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are derivative multi-class mortgage securities structured so that one class receives most, if not all, of the principal from the underlying mortgage assets, while the other class receives most, if not all, of the interest and the remainder of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in an interest-only security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. Credit risk reflects the risk that the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligation.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

The values of all assets and liabilities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day’s exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statement of Operations.

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums and paydown gains and losses. Fee income attributable to mortgage dollar roll transactions is recorded on the accrual basis over the term of the transaction. The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and as the cost basis of such securities.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, as shown on the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Income and expenses are allocated to each class based on the settled shares method, while realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt or taxable income, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

 

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust’s organizational documents and by contract, the Trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of actions relating to their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these representations, warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

Note 3. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended March 31, 2009 was as follows:

 

     
Distributions paid from:    
Ordinary Income*   $ 127,915,330

Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Fund is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 4. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

Columbia, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BOA”) provides investment advisory services to the Fund.

In rendering investment advisory services to the Fund, Columbia may use the portfolio management and research resources of Columbia Management Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of Columbia. Columbia receives a monthly investment advisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

 

     
Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Fee Rate

First $1 billion

  0.35%

$1 billion to $1.5 billion

  0.30%

$1.5 billion to $3 billion

  0.29%

$3 billion to $6 billion

  0.28%

Over $6 billion

  0.27%

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund’s annualized effective investment advisory fee rate was 0.32% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

BOA entered into an agreement dated September 29, 2009 to sell a portion of the asset management business of Columbia Management Group, LLC to Ameriprise Financial, Inc. The transaction (“Transaction”) includes a sale of the part of the asset management business that advises long-term mutual funds, including the Fund. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in the spring of 2010.

Administration Fee

Columbia provides administrative and other services to the Fund for a monthly administration fee at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pricing and Bookkeeping Fees

The Fund has entered into a Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the “Financial Reporting Services Agreement”) with State Street Bank & Trust Company (“State Street”) and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides financial reporting services to the Fund. The Fund has also entered into an Accounting Services Agreement (collectively with the Financial Reporting Services Agreement, the “State Street Agreements”) with State Street and Columbia pursuant to which State Street provides accounting services to the Fund. Under the State Street Agreements, the Fund pays State Street an annual fee of $38,000 paid monthly plus an additional monthly fee based on an annualized percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the month. The aggregate fee will not exceed $140,000 per year (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and charges). The Fund also reimburses State Street for certain out-of-pocket expenses and charges.

The Fund has entered into a Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Columbia. Under the Services Agreement, Columbia provides services related to Fund expenses and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and provides oversight of the accounting and financial reporting services provided by State Street. Under the Services Agreement, the Fund reimburses Columbia for out-of-pocket expenses.

Transfer Agent Fee

Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Fund and has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (“BFDS”) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a fee for its services, paid monthly, at the annual rate of $17.34 per open account plus reimbursement of certain sub-transfer agent fees paid by the Transfer Agent (exclusive of BFDS fees), calculated based on assets held in omnibus accounts and intended to recover the cost of payments to other parties (including affiliates of BOA) for services to those accounts. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund.

The Transfer Agent may also retain, as additional compensation for its services, fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) trustee agent fees and account transcript fees due to the Transfer Agent from shareholders of the Fund and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the Transfer Agent maintains in connection with its services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.

Underwriting Discounts, Service and Distribution Fees

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of Columbia and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor has retained net underwriting discounts of $5,325 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares and received net CDSC fees of $13,756 and $1,186 on Class B and Class C share redemptions, respectively.

 

The Fund has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plans”) which require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution and service fees for Class A shares of the Fund so that the combined fee will not exceed 0.25% annually of Class A average daily net assets. The Distributor has also voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the distribution and service fees for Class C shares so that the combined fee will not exceed 0.85% annually of Class C average daily net assets. These arrangements may be modified or terminated by the Distributor at any time.

The CDSC and the distribution fees received from the Plans are used principally as repayment to the Distributor for amounts paid by the Distributor to dealers who sold such shares.

Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements

Columbia has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses so that the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses (excluding any distribution and service fees, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses, but including custodian charges relating to overdrafts, if any), after giving effect to any balance credits from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annualized basis. Columbia, in its discretion, may revise or discontinue this arrangement at any time.

Fees Paid to Officers and Trustees

All officers of the Fund are employees of Columbia or its affiliates and, with the exception of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund. The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund’s expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.

The Trust’s eligible Trustees may participate in a deferred compensation plan which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the plan will be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets.

Note 5. Custody Credits

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian bank under which custody fees may be reduced by balance credits. These credits are recorded as part of expense reductions on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could have invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangement in an income-producing asset if it had not entered into such an agreement.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, these custody credits reduced total expenses by $6 for the Fund.

Note 6. Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivatives Instruments

The Fund uses derivatives instruments including futures contracts, credit default swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to meet its investment objectives. The Fund employs strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease or change the level of exposure to market risk factors. The achievement of any strategy relating to derivatives depends on analysis of various risk factors, and if the strategies for use of derivatives do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its investment objectives.

In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund is exposed to the following market risks:

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuation in value of fixed income securities because of the inverse relationship of price and yield. Fixed income securities generally will decline in value upon an increase in general interest rates and their value generally will increase upon a decline in general interest rates. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

 

Credit Risk: Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or counter party to a derivative contract, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings. Generally, lower-yield higher-quality bonds are subject to credit risk to a lesser extent than lower-grade higher-yield bonds.

The following notes provide more detailed information about each derivative type held by the Fund:

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency to another.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. The Fund may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. The Fund may also enter into these contracts to reduce the exposure to adverse price movements in certain other foreign currency denominated assets. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are generally used reduce the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become realized at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Fund could also be exposed to risk that counterparties of the contracts may be unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts.

Credit Default Swaps

The Fund entered into credit default swap transactions as a protection buyer to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers.

Credit default swaps are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place. The Fund may receive or make an upfront payment as the protection buyer or seller. Credit default swaps are marked to market daily based on quotations from market makers and any change is recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as a realized gain or loss and premiums received or made are amortized on the Statement of Operations.

If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

Credit default swap agreements involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

 

Futures Contracts

The Fund entered into interest rate futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark.

The use of futures contracts involves certain risks, which include: (1) imperfect correlation between the price movement of the instruments and the underlying securities, (2) inability to close out positions due to differing trading hours, or the temporary absence of a liquid market, for either the instruments or the underlying securities, or (3) an inaccurate prediction of the future direction of interest rates by Columbia.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 7. Portfolio Information

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, for the Fund were $1,298,506,991 and $1,405,199,293, respectively, of which $522,287,419 and $573,905,396, respectively, were U.S. Government securities.

Note 8. Regulatory Settlements

During the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the Fund received payments of $16,217 relating to certain regulatory settlements with third parties that the Fund had participated in during the period. The payments have been included in “Increase from regulatory settlements” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 9. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $280,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit provided by State Street. The maximum amount that may be borrowed by any fund is limited to the lesser of $200,000,000 and the Fund’s borrowing limit set forth in the Fund’s registration statement. Borrowings are available for short-term liquidity or temporary or emergency purposes.

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 0.50%. In addition, an annual operations agency fee of $20,000, an amendment fee of 0.02% and a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum are accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days where borrowing existed was $1,700,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 0.741%.

Note 10. Securities Lending

The Fund may lend its securities to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued income from the investment of collateral. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral received is invested and the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any fees remitted to State Street as the lending agent and borrower rebates, is paid to the Fund. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Fund. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

Note 11. Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of September 30, 2009, 46.6% of the Fund’s shares outstanding were beneficially owned by one participant account over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates had either sole or joint investment discretion. On that date, no other shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

As of September 30, 2009, the Fund had two shareholders that collectively held 14.6% of the shares outstanding, over which BOA and/or any of its affiliates did not have investment discretion. On that date, no other shareholder owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 12. Significant Risks and Contingencies

Sector Focus Risk

The Fund may focus its investments in certain sectors, subjecting it to greater risk than a fund that is less focused.

High-Yield Securities Risk

Investing in high-yield securities may involve greater credit risk and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds and other higher quality fixed income securities. These securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk” bonds. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations. Moreover, high-yield securities may be less liquid to the extent that there is no established secondary market.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk

The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in interest rates, the market’s assessment of the quality of underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement. Most asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying debt may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of asset-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk

The value of mortgage-backed securities may be affected by, among other things, changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages, the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements or the quality of underlying assets or the market’s assessment thereof. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the possibility that the underlying mortgage may be refinanced or prepaid prior to maturity during periods of declining or low interest rates, causing the Fund to have to reinvest the money received in securities that have lower yields. In addition, the impact of prepayments on the value of mortgage-backed securities may be difficult to predict and may result in greater volatility.

Legal Proceedings

Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the “Columbia Group”) are subject to a settlement agreement with the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) (the “NYAG Settlement”) and a settlement order with the SEC (the “SEC Order”) on matters relating to mutual fund trading, each dated February 9, 2005. Under the terms of the SEC Order, the Columbia Group (or predecessor entities) agreed, among other things, to: pay disgorgement and civil money penalties collectively totaling $140 million; cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions and certain other provisions of the federal securities laws; maintain certain compliance and ethics oversight structures; and retain an independent consultant to review the Columbia Group’s applicable supervisory, compliance, control and other policies and procedures. The NYAG Settlement, among other things, requires Columbia Management Advisors, LLC and its affiliates to reduce management fees for certain funds in the Columbia family of mutual funds in a projected total of $160 million over five years through November 30, 2009 and to make certain disclosures to investors relating to expenses. In connection with the Columbia Group providing services to the Columbia Funds, the Columbia Funds have voluntarily undertaken to implement certain governance measures designed to maintain the independence of their boards of trustees and certain special consulting and compliance measures.

Pursuant to the SEC Order and related procedures, the $140 million in settlement amounts described above has been substantially distributed in accordance with a distribution plan that was developed by an independent distribution consultant and approved by the SEC on April 6, 2007.

In connection with the events described above, various parties have filed suit against certain funds, the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, FleetBoston Financial Corporation and its affiliated entities and/or Bank of America and its affiliated entities.

On February 20, 2004, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these cases and cases against other mutual fund companies based on similar allegations to the United States District Court in Maryland for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings (the “MDL”). Subsequently, additional related cases were transferred to the MDL. On September 29, 2004, the plaintiffs in the MDL filed amended and consolidated complaints. One of these amended complaints is a putative class action that includes claims under the federal securities laws and state common law, and that names Columbia Management Advisors, Inc. (which has since merged into Banc of America Capital Management, LLC (now named Columbia Management Advisors, LLC)) (“Columbia”), Columbia Funds Distributor, Inc. (now named Columbia Management Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”), the Trustees of the Columbia Funds, Bank of America Corporation and others as defendants. Another of the amended complaints is a derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Columbia Funds that asserts claims under federal securities laws and state common law.

On February 25, 2005, Columbia and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims in the pending cases. On March 1, 2006, for reasons stated in the court’s memoranda dated November 3, 2005, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The court dismissed all of the class action claims pending against the Columbia Funds Trusts. As to Columbia and the Distributor, the claims under the Securities Act of 1933, the claims under Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“ICA”) and the state law claims were dismissed. The claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and claims under Section 36(b) of the ICA were not dismissed.

On March 21, 2005, a purported class action was filed in Massachusetts state court alleging that certain conduct, including market timing, entitled Class B shareholders in certain Columbia Funds to an exemption from contingent deferred sales charges upon early redemption (the “CDSC Lawsuit”). The CDSC Lawsuit was removed to federal court in Massachusetts and transferred to the MDL.

On September 14, 2007, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a stipulation of settlement with respect to all Columbia-related claims in the MDL described above, including the CDSC Lawsuit. The settlement is subject to court approval.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On October 15, 2009, the committed line of credit discussed in Note 9 was renewed on amended terms. Pursuant to the amended terms, interest is charged to each participating fund based on the fund’s borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds pro rata based on their relative net assets. The annual operations agency fee of $20,000 was waived.

Effective November 1, 2009, the annual rate the Transfer Agent receives for the services discussed in Note 4 will change to $22.36 per open account.

President’s Message

LOGO

 

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide this shareholder report detailing your fund’s performance, portfolio holdings and financial statements. We hope this information is helpful in monitoring your investments as we work through these challenging economic times. We recognize that you have entrusted us with your money and want you to know that our professional investment teams work to interpret the latest economic and market trends with the goal of optimizing portfolio construction for our clients.

The first half of 2009 was defined by extremes. The multiyear lows we witnessed in the early months gave way to a stunning rally for the U.S. financial markets in the spring. A global market rebound may be underway, thanks to the massive fiscal and aggressive monetary policies of governments around the world. In the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index1 was up 15.61%. We believe this challenging economic environment makes it even more important to work with professional money managers while continuing to invest for life events like retirement, college planning, home improvements and career changes.

Retirement income planning has become an increasingly significant focus in the lives of millions of Americans. Recent economic conditions make it even more important to manage short-term obligations such as mortgages, monthly bills and credit card debt while also taking the steps necessary to prepare for or maximize retirement benefits. Better nutrition and medical services can result in U.S. citizens living longer, healthier lives. This means the risk of outliving one’s assets in retirement is very real without proper planning. Financial security and retirement planning is an ongoing process that requires active management of your savings, investments and risks. We encourage you to review your retirement plan regularly so you’ll be better able to meet your retirement needs in the future.

We recognize that economic uncertainty creates great challenges for many investors. Our professional investment teams work diligently to help investors navigate through difficult markets. Thank you for your business and for the opportunity to work together towards your investment goals.

Sincerely,

LOGO

Summary

 

n  

Effective June 19, 2009, the fund changed its primary benchmark to the Barclays Capital Credit Bond Index.1 The fund’s secondary benchmark was changed to a blended benchmark2, a weighted custom composite established by the advisor consisting of 85% Barclays Capital Credit Bond Index and 15% JPMorgan Global High Yield Index.3 Prior to June 19, 2009, the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and the Barclays Capital Intermediate Credit Bond Index4 were the fund’s primary and secondary benchmarks, respectively. We believe that the new benchmarks more accurately reflect the strategy of the fund.

 

n  

For the six-month period that ended September 30, 2009, the fund’s Class A shares returned 25.88% without sales charge. The fund’s new benchmarks, the Barclays Capital Credit Bond Index and the blended benchmark, returned 16.94% and 20.33%, respectively, for the same period. The fund’s former indices, the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and the Barclays Capital Intermediate Credit Bond Index, returned 4.98% and 14.15%, respectively. The average return of the fund’s peer group, the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated Classification5, was 22.16%. The fund outperformed its benchmarks because it had greater exposure to high-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds, sectors that experienced dramatic gains. We believe that the fund outperformed its peer group average because it had more exposure to high-yield issues.

 

n  

Corporate bonds, which have historically made up most of the fund’s portfolio, rallied strongly amid signs that the recession was ending. Our decisions to add to financial holdings late last year and to expand investment-grade and high-yield commitments early in 2009 were especially beneficial in this environment. Outstanding performers included subordinated bank obligations and pipeline bonds. JPMorgan Chase (1.1% of net assets) led results among financials. Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and Energy Transfer Partners (1.5% and 0.4% of net assets, respectively) were standouts among pipeline companies, a BBB sector that correlates with high-yield bonds. Lower-quality issues staged the biggest comebacks, aiding fund holdings among non-agency mortgages and subordinated automobile debt. Life insurance issues, depressed by liquidity concerns that we thought were overdone, recovered, with MetLife, Liberty Mutual Group and Principal Life (1.2%, 1.0% and 1.1% of net assets, respectively) adding nicely to returns.

Fund Profile (continued) – Columbia Income Fund

 

n  

The last six months produced the biggest value increase in investment-grade and high-yield bonds within memory — and the best gains may be behind us. But we believe that today’s healthy coupons provide fair compensation for investors, given the low default risk among investment grade issues. Over the next year, we believe that yields have the potential to continue to decline and prices to rise on corporate issues, narrowing the yield advantage that corporates provide over Treasury issues. Life insurance and subordinated bank debt still appear to offer good value, as do certain mortgage bonds backed by commercial property.

Portfolio Management

Carl W. Pappo, lead manager of the fund, has co-managed the fund since 2005 and has been associated with the advisor or its predecessors since 1993.

Kevin L. Cronk has co-managed the fund since 2003 and has been associated with the advisor or its predecessors since 1999.

 

 

 

 

 

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for the fund may differ from those presented for other Columbia Funds.

Investing in fixed-income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yield and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices typically drop, and vice versa.

Investments in high-yield or “junk” bonds offer the potential for higher income than investments in investment-grade bonds, but also involve a higher degree of risk. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a high-yield bond issuer’s ability to make timely principal and interest payments.

The “with sales charge” returns include the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75% for Class A shares and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter for Class B shares and 1.00% for Class C shares for the first year only. The “without sales charge” returns do not include the effect of sales charges. If they had, returns would be lower.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value with no distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirements may vary. Please see the fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class.

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Class A, Class B and Class C are newer classes of shares. Class A share performance information includes the returns of Class Z shares (the oldest existing share class) for periods prior to its inception. Class B and Class C share performance information includes returns of Class A shares for the period from July 31, 2000 through July 14, 2002, and the returns of Class Z shares for periods prior thereto. These returns reflect differences in sales charges, but have not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses (such as distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees) between Class Z shares and the newer classes of shares or between Class A shares and Class B shares and Class C shares. If differences in expenses had been reflected, the returns shown for periods prior to the inception of the newer classes of shares would have been lower, since the newer classes of shares are subject to varying distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees. Class A shares were initially offered on July 31, 2000, Class B shares and Class C shares were initially offered on July 15, 2002, and Class Z shares were initially offered on March 5, 1986.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Understanding Your Expenses – Columbia Income Fund

 

As a fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your fund’s expenses by share class

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided an example and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class during the period. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column for each share class assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and is calculated based on the fund’s actual operating expenses. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during this period.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

 

Estimating your actual expenses

To estimate the expenses that you paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

 

  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at www.columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 800.345.6611.

 
  n  

For shareholders who receive their account statements from their financial intermediary, contact your financial intermediary to obtain your account balance.

 
  1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.  
  2. In the section of the table below titled “Expenses paid during the period,” locate the amount for your share class. You will find this number in the column labeled “Actual.” Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.  

If the value of your account falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account generally will be subject to a $20 annual fee.

This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

04/01/09 – 09/30/09
     Account value at the
beginning of the period ($)
  Account value at the
end of the period ($)
  Expenses paid
during the period ($)
  Fund’s annualized
expense ratio (%)
    Actual   Hypothetical   Actual   Hypothetical   Actual   Hypothetical   Actual

Class A

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,258.81   1,020.31   5.38   4.81   0.95

Class B

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,254.19   1,016.55   9.61   8.59   1.70

Class C

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,255.10   1,017.30   8.76   7.84   1.55

Class Z

  1,000.00   1,000.00   1,260.41   1,021.56   3.97   3.55   0.70

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by the number of days in the fund’s most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning shares of different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
