RISKS AND DISCLOSURE
 
This report is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of Century Shares Trust, Century Small Cap Select Fund and Century Growth Opportunities Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). It is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless it is preceded or accompanied by the Funds’ current prospectus, which includes information regarding the Funds’ objective(s), risks, and charges and expenses, experience of its management, and other information. The Funds’ prospectus contains this and other important information about the Funds. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
 
Investments in mutual funds involve risks. Century Small Cap Select Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services and health care group of industries. Concentration in a particular industry subjects the Fund to the risks associated with that industry and, as a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility than funds with less concentrated portfolios. In addition, the Fund invests in smaller companies which pose greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies. Century Shares Trust may invest a significant portion of assets in securities of companies within the same market sector. If the Fund’s portfolio is over weighted in a sector, any negative development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the Fund than a fund that is not over weighted in that sector. Century Growth Opportunities Fund invests mainly in small-cap and mid-cap companies. Historically, small-cap and mid-cap stocks have been more volatile in price than large-cap stocks. Foreign investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
 
The views in this report were those of the Century Funds’Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Managers as of April 30, 2011 and may not reflect their views on the date that this report is first published or anytime thereafter.These views are intended to assist shareholders in understanding their investments and do not constitute investment advice.There is no assurance that the Funds will continue to invest in the securities mentioned.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
 
 
The S&P 500 Index closed at 1363.61 on April 29, 2011, a value up over 100% from the March 9, 2009 low. The market’s recovery and sustainability has been remarkable given the many geopolitical obstacles during the past several months. During the first half of the Funds’ fiscal year, Century Shares Trust and Century Small Cap Select Fund have slightly outperformed this strong market, while the recently-landed Century Growth Opportunities Fund has underperformed since its November 2010 launch.
 
A single vendor’s act of food protest against the Tunisian government, unleashed a firestorm of social and political unrest that engulfed countries throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa.This “Arab spring” has resulted in long-standing governments crumbling, leaving much of the Muslim world in a leadership vacuum. Meanwhile, the world tries to sort out the clouded prospects for oil and religious fervor to coexist with democracy in a Middle East which is now less stable (but also possibly less interested in supporting global terrorism as domestic opportunities expand). Clearly, diplomacy and existing allegiances will be shifting over the next few years.
 
Just as investors were trying to digest the impact of these uprisings, the tragic events in Japan captured the attention of the world. From the initial earthquake and tsunami to the nuclear reactor crisis, the human tragedy that unfolded on television was shocking. The fallout and rebuilding will impact global growth over the next couple of years.
 
These global developments served to add another layer of complexity to the economic recovery’s fragile supply-demand balance. Lack of clarity often leads to volatility and overreactions, which provide investors with unusual opportunities. For instance, as the turmoil within Middle East escalated, oil prices rose. The devastation in Japan sparked concerns about a slowdown in global activity, causing the price of oil to decline.The price recovered as investors considered the Libyan instability, the increased demands for oil that will accompany a Japan recovery, and the impact of reduced nuclear power worldwide. From December through April, the price of oil, even with its fluctuations, increased in price some 35%.

As if these events were not enough, the markets continued to ponder the ongoing European debt issues, the inflationary pressures, the sluggish housing market, ongoing budget battles in Washington, the threat of a slowing Chinese economy, and a downgrade of U.S. credit by Standard & Poor’s. Since the beginning of 2011 investors have been faced with an onslaught of macroeconomic concerns and with unknown repercussions.
 
Yet, the stock markets climbed this ‘wall of worry’, advancing on average 20% during the November 2010 through April 2011 time period.
 
The recovery is entering a moderating phase, and the political winds are stirring ahead of next year’s election.The leading indicators and labor and credit markets are slowly improving and leading indicators are encouraging, except for housing. We believe that this environment leads to a more nervous and less aggressive market. We have already seen a steady drop off in trading volumes in the second quarter of 2011. We believe that this landscape favors the fundamental research intensive approach that we emphasize. We also believe that our focus on ‘quality growth’ companies and steady market leaders will benefit our shareholders over the next year.
 
The whiplash in the price of oil is a stark example of how quickly investors must adapt to changing conditions. We do not believe that making decisions based on short-term reactions is a productive way to invest for the long-term. While we monitor these events and analyze their impact on our outlook for each portfolio company’s growth and valuation, we focus on the long-term, fundamental nature of our investment process. We believe that keeping the long view is essential to preserving and growing capital on your behalf.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Alexander L. Thorndike
Chairman of the Century Funds

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND COMMENTARY
 
 
How did the portfolio perform?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, Century Small Cap Select Fund Institutional Shares returned 30.24% and the Investor Shares returned 30.01%, significantly outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index’s return of 27.07%.
 
What factors influenced performance?
Strong performance over the past six months reflects an improving economy and a continued rebound from the stock market lows in early 2009. While some economic data such as industrial production and capacity utilization show the economy is recovering, the housing industry, for example, remains weak. The Russell 2000 Growth Index recovered all its losses over the past few years and surpassed its most recent high of October 2007. While macro factors positively influenced results, bottom-up stock selection led the Fund to emphasize industrial rather than consumer-related companies, and this positioning helped drive outperformance.
 
Strong stock selection was the primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark. Significant contributions from Ladish (aerospace components), Jazz Pharmaceuticals (specialty pharmaceuticals), Chart Industries (industrial equipment) and G-III Apparel (apparel manufacturer) more than offset relative weakness from STR Holdings (solar power component producer), Online Resources (financial processor) and SFN Group (staffing firm).
 
Positive stock selection was the real story over the past six months, not sector allocation. Stock selection led the Fund to outperform in six of the eight benchmark sectors in which it was invested. For example, the best performing sector in the Russell 2000 Growth Index (R2G) was Energy due to oil prices surging 34% from Oct-31 2010 to April-30 2011. While the R2G Energy sector rose 52% during the period, the Fund’s Energy sector rose an even higher 53%.
 
Describe recent portfolio activity
The Fund increased its exposure primarily to the Industrial and Energy sectors over the past six months in an effort to capitalize on an improving business environment. Increasing our Energy investment was the right decision since Energy was by far the best performing sector in the Russell 2000 Growth Index, rising 52% for the period. While the Industrial sector of the Russell 2000 Growth Index modestly lagged the overall benchmark (23.4% vs. 27.0%), the Fund’s Industrial sector holdings performed well, rising 48.9%. At the same time, we were less optimistic about consumer spending and the potential negative impact that federal regulation might have on health care companies.

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND COMMENTARY (CONTINUED)
 
Describe portfolio positioning at period-end
Today while the Fund is overweight the Industrial and Financial sectors, our outlook is more balanced across several sectors. We are simply focused on finding attractive investments that take advantage of macro themes and fundamental trends. Given the stock market’s dramatic rebound over the past two years and a moderately improving economy, our sector weights are more balanced. We believe our focus on in-depth fundamental research will be an advantage in the current investment environment, since stock selection is likely to be the primary driver of performance.

CENTURY SHARES TRUST COMMENTARY
 
 
How did the portfolio perform?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, Century Shares Trust’s Institutional Shares and Investor Shares returned 17.39% and 17.10%, respectively, outperforming both the S&P 500 Index 16.36% and Russell 1000 Growth Index 16.96%.
 
What factors influenced performance?
The stock market continued to appreciate over the past six months thanks to an improving economy. Despite the strong performance, there were turbulent geopolitical and natural disaster events that caused market volatility. Nevertheless, 2010 sales and earnings surged off the lows experienced in 2009, with the S&P 500 earnings per share rebounding an impressive 34.7% year over year. This recovery helped the S&P 500 get within 7% of its most recent high reached in October 2007.
 
The Fund performed roughly in-line with the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Growth Indexes throughout the period. However, stock selection was the primary reason for the Fund’s outperformance. Strong performance by Tempur-Pedic International (mattress manufacturer), Helmerich & Payne (oil & gas contract driller) and LyondellBasell Industries (chemical producer) was partially offset by weakness in Royal Caribbean Cruises (cruise company), Google (online advertising firm) and CIT Group (commercial financing company).
 
In terms of sector allocation, the Fund was positioned to take advantage of an improving economy. The Fund was overweight the more cyclical sectors such as Industrials and Consumer Discretionary while underweight the more defensive sectors such as Consumer Staples and Health Care. The Fund benefitted from this positioning with the exception of Health Care. Stock market volatility increased in mid-February due to concerns about the recovery’s sustainability. As investors turned defensive, health care outperformed.
 
Describe recent portfolio activity
The Fund increased exposure to Industrial and Financial stocks and reduced exposure to Consumer Staples and Health Care stocks. Given our view that the economy was improving, we continued to invest in industrial companies that would benefit from growing economic activity. Our investment in Financial stocks sought to take advantage of oversold situations. Given the slow growth and cost pressures that Consumer Staple companies were facing, we decided to lower our exposure until fundamentals improved. Our investment in Health Care declined as we re-allocated funds to holdings in other sectors.

CENTURY SHARES TRUST FUND COMMENTARY (CONTINUED)
 
 
Describe portfolio positioning at period-end
The Fund continues to invest in high quality growth companies that we believe will outperform over the long term. We believe that the Fund is positioned to benefit from an improving economy. The pace of improvement is slowing, but we think the economy will be stronger and more vibrant in a year or two than it is today. As a result, we are keeping our eyes on the horizon and will not allow the recent volatility to prevent us from seeking benefits from the economic improvement we expect over the next couple of years.

Performance Summary – Institutional Shares and Investor Shares
 
The performance information shown below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be substantially lower or higher than the Fund’s historical performance. Please call (800) 303-1928 for the Fund’s most recent month-end performance. As stated in the Fund’s current prospectus, the total (gross) annual operating expense is 1.15% for the Institutional Shares and 2.11% for the Investor Shares.The adviser has agreed contractually to limit the operating expenses for the Fund’s Investor Shares to 1.45% through February 28, 2012. Returns would have been lower during relevant periods if certain fees had not been waived or expenses reimbursed. To discourage short-term trading, the Fund may impose a redemption fee of 1.00% on shares held less than 90 days. Performance figures and graphs do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. Returns may vary by share class.
 
The recent growth rate in the global equity markets has helped to produce short-term returns for some sectors/asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future.Because of ongoing market volatility,Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes.

CENTURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND COMMENTARY
 
 
How did the portfolio perform?
For the period November 17, 2010 (the Fund’s inception date) through April 30, 2011, Century Growth Opportunities Fund returned 16.80% trailing the Russell 2500 Growth Index, which gained 25.67%.
 
What factors influenced performance?
Equity markets continued their impressive march to higher levels, building on the rally, which has allowed most indices to recover their losses from March 2009 lows. Investors were willing to overcome or overlook the macroeconomic and political headlines that were in the forefront of the news for most early 2011. While some of the economic data was mixed, earnings reports remained strong on whole and management commentaries were bullish, helping drive stock prices higher. Growth in revenues and earnings pushed major markets to double digits returns for the six-month period.
 
From a sector perspective, performance in the Fund was driven by Energy, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary. The Energy sector was a beneficiary of a 30% plus increase in the price of oil. The Consumer Discretionary and Financial performance was driven by underweight positions in each and stock selection. Industrials and Technology were the weakest sectors as result of individual stock selection.
 
The Fund underperformed the Russell 2500 Growth Index throughout the period. Some of this underper-formance can be traced back to the Fund’s discipline of selling stocks when we believe they are overvalued and experience a technical deterioration. This discipline hindered overall performance in a couple of names in particular, Acme Packet, Inc. (network solutions provider) and Riverbed Technology, Inc. (IT performance company). Both stocks went on to make new highs soon after we exited the positions. Contributing to performance were ION Geophysical (oil service company), Moody’s Corporation (credit rating firm), Lululemon Athletica (yoga apparel manufacturer).
 
Describe recent portfolio activity
The Fund increased exposure to more defensive sectors given the slow, but seemingly stable progression of U.S. economy. It is also more domestically focused because of the European debt issues and the slowing economic growth within the emerging market economies including China, Brazil, and India. With this outlook we increased allocations to Health Care and Consumer (both Staples and Discretionary). We decreased our exposure to Industrials, Energy, and Technology.

CENTURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND COMMENTARY (CONTINUED)
 
 
Describe portfolio positioning at period-end
There appears to be some stability in U.S. economic growth. Uncertainty remains a key theme as we move forward through 2011. The housing market remains depressed and the ability of the private sector to carry growth when the second round of quantitative easing comes to an end in June is yet unproven. In addition there are macroeconomic issues that still weigh on the markets such as the European debt crisis, the results of the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, a slowing global economy, and the full impact of the Japan disaster. As we monitor these events we continue to search for companies with exposure to secular growth areas of the domestic economy.

Performance Summary – Institutional Shares
 
The performance information shown below is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate with changing market conditions so that, when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be substantially lower or higher than the Fund’s historical performance. Please call (800)303-1928 for the Fund’s most recent month-end performance. As stated in the Fund’s current prospectus, the total (gross) annual operating expense, is 1.88% for the Institutional Shares. The adviser has agreed contractually to limit the operating expenses for the Fund’s Institutional Shares to 1.10% through February 28, 2012. Returns would have been lower during relevant periods if certain fees had not been waived or expenses reimbursed. Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.
 
The recent growth rate in the global equity markets has helped to produce short-term returns for some sectors/asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Because of ongoing market volatility, Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Unaudited)
 
 
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES –– Century Capital Management Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Century Shares Trust, Century Small Cap Select Fund and Century Growth Opportunities Fund (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) are diversified series of the Trust.The Century Growth Opportunities Fund commenced operations on November 17, 2010.The Century Growth Opportunities Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the stocks of small and medium-sized U.S. companies.The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting policies”).
 
A. Security Valuations –– Equity securities are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded, as reported by an independent pricing service. If no sale price or official closing price is reported, market value is generally determined based on quotes or closing prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market maker, or reputable pricing service. For unlisted securities and for exchange-listed securities for which there are no reported sales or official closing prices, fair value is generally determined using closing bid prices. Short-term obligations, maturing in 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day.
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments is summarized below.
 
·  
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
·  
Level 2 – significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
·  
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

*     
At April 30, 2011 the Funds held investments in common stocks classified as Level 1, with corresponding major categories as shown on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
 
B. Security Transactions –– Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Gain or loss on sales is determined by the use of a specific identification method, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payments received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, capital gains and return of capital.The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments.The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer.The Funds may invest in equity securities issued or guaranteed by companies organized and based in countries outside of the United States. These securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets. Foreign dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Foreign income and capital gain on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis.
 
C. Use of Estimates –– The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles incorporates estimates made by management in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Funds. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
D. Risks and Uncertainty — Century Small Cap Select Fund concentrates its investments in certain industries detailed in the Portfolio of Investments, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with those industries and may result in greater fluctuation in share value than is experienced in more diversified portfolios. In addition, the Fund invests in smaller companies, which generally involves greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies.
 
Investments in securities issued by non U.S. companies have certain risks not present in domestic issuers.
 
At any given time, a significant portion of the assets of each Fund may be invested in securities of companies within the same market sector of the economy. Companies within the same sector often face similar issues and, consequently, may react similarly to changes in market conditions. If a Fund has a significant weighting in one or more sectors, it may be subject to more risk and price volatility than other funds.
 
E. Multiple Classes of Shares –– Century Shares Trust and Century Small Cap Select Fund each offer two classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Certain expense reductions may differ by class. Because transfer agent fees include a per account fee, each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred.
 
Effective May 27, 2011, all 61,614.461 Investor Shares of Century Shares Trust were converted into Institutional Shares and the share class was closed.
 
 
CENTURY FUNDS
 
37
 
 
 

 
 
F. Redemption Fees –– In general, shares of each Fund may be redeemed at net asset value. However, upon the redemption of shares held less than 90 days, a redemption fee of 1% of the current net asset value of the shares may be assessed and retained by each share class of each Fund for the benefit of the Fund’s remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital.
 
G. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders –– Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and sufficient net investment income and net realized gains, if any, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book and tax differences. Generally accepted accounting principles require that any distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a tax return of capital.
 
The identified cost of investments in securities owned by each Fund for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation at April 30, 2011 were as follows:
 
       
Century Shares Trust

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
 
     Century Capital Management, LLC (CCM) serves as the investment adviser and administrator to Century Shares Trust (CST) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement and an amended and restated administration agreement, each between Century Capital Management Trust, on behalf of CST, and CCM. CCM also serves as the investment adviser and provides administrative services to Century Small Cap Select Fund (CSCS) pursuant to an investment advisory and management services agreement between Century Capital Management Trust, on behalf of CSCS, and CCM. The Trustees of Century Capital Management Trust determine annually whether to continue the investment advisory and administration agreements for each of CST and CSCS.
 
     At a meeting held on December 15, 2010, based on their evaluation of the information provided by CCM, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each of CST and CSCS for another year.
 
     In advance of the meeting, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, received, among other things: (i) a Lipper Inc. report comparing each Fund’s fees and expenses to those of a peer group and peer universe for that Fund, each selected by Lipper; (ii) information regarding the average annual total returns for the 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 years ended October 31, 2010 and November 30, 2010 for CST and for the 1, 3, 5 and 10 years ended October 31, 2010 and November 30, 2010 and since inception for CSCS, as well as comparative total return information for various securities indices and the applicable Lipper and Morningstar peer groups; (iii) reports from CCM that described (a) the services provided to each Fund and information about the personnel providing those services, (b) the fees paid under the investment advisory and administration agreements, (c) compliance and oversight, (d) “fall-out” benefits to CCM, (e) brokerage and soft dollar arrangements, and (f) the fees paid by and services provided to comparable accounts; (iv) CCM’s profitability analysis with respect to advisory services provided to each Fund; and (v) CCM’s Form ADV. In addition, at each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Trustees receive and review, among other things, information concerning each Fund’s performance and the services provided to each Fund by CCM.The independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their counsel outlining the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Trustees’ deliberations.
 
     After receiving the requested information, the independent Trustees met in executive session to consider the investment advisory and administrative arrangements. The Trustees then unanimously determined to approve the continuance of the investment advisory and administration agreements with respect to each Fund for another year.
 
     In determining to approve the continuation of the investment advisory and administration agreements, the Trustees considered a number of factors as outlined below. The Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. They also took into account the common interests of both of the Funds in their review.Throughout their deliberations, the independent Trustees were represented by counsel.
 
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided
 
     In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CCM under the investment advisory and administration agreements, the Board considered the terms of those agreements and reviewed information provided by CCM relating to its operations and personnel. The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by CCM to the Funds gained from their experience as trustees of the Funds and noted the expectations of the shareholders who had invested in the Funds.The Board considered that CCM was responsible for the management and administration of each Fund’s operations.They also considered that CCM provides day-to-day management of each Fund’s portfolio of investments, including making purchases and sales of portfolio securities consistent with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies.
 
     The Board considered CCM’s resources and personnel, focusing in particular on investment and compliance resources and personnel. The Board reviewed each portfolio manager’s experience and qualifications, as well as CCM’s investment approach and research process. The Board also reviewed CCM’s trading procedures and brokerage practices, including information regarding soft dollar arrangements.
 
 
CENTURY FUNDS

     The Board also considered that, as administrator, CCM is responsible for the administration of each Fund’s business and other affairs. It was noted that CCM supervises and monitors the performance of each Fund’s service providers and provides each Fund with personnel (including officers) as are necessary for the Fund’s operations. It was noted that CCM pays all of the compensation of Mr. Thorndike and Mr. Fulkerson, the interested Trustees, and the Funds’ officers. The Board also noted that CCM assisted the Funds in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and considered, among other things, CCM’s compliance program. The Board considered the fees paid to CCM for the provisions of such services.
 
     Taking all of the foregoing into account, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds under the investment advisory and administration agreements.
 
Costs of Services Provided and Prof itability
 
     The Trustees reviewed information concerning the costs of services provided to the Funds by CCM, and the profitability to CCM of its investment advisory and administrative relationship with each Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 (estimated as of November 30, 2010), along with a description of the methodology used by CCM in preparing the profitability information.
 
     The Trustees recognized that CCM should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services provided to each Fund, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund advisory and administration contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions about allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital.The Trustees concluded that, taking all of the foregoing into account, they were satisfied that CCM’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not excessive.
 
Fall-Out Benef its
 
     The Trustees considered the extent to which CCM benefited from soft dollar arrangements whereby it receives brokerage and research services from brokers that execute a Fund’s purchases and sales of investment securities. It was noted that CCM had represented that it fulfills its fiduciary obligation of seeking best execution when engaging in portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the direct and indirect benefits to CCM from its relationship with the Funds were reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
     The Trustees considered the extent to which CCM may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Funds. It was noted that as assets increase certain fixed costs may be spread across a larger asset base, and it was noted that any economies of scale or other efficiencies might be realized (if at all) across a variety of products and services, including the Funds, and not only in respect of a single Fund. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and that, among other factors that may be relevant, are the following: fee levels, expense subsidization, investment by CCM in research and analytical capabilities and CCM’s commitment and resource allocation to the Funds.The Trustees noted that profitability also may be an indicator of the availability of any economies of scale, although profitability may vary for other reasons particularly when the level of services are maintained notwithstanding a decline in fee revenues. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedule for CST included breakpoints that would allow the shareholders of CST to share in economies of scale, if any, experienced by CCM in managing that Fund.The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedule for CSCS did not include breakpoints that would reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Board determined that the current fee structure for CSCS was acceptable given the fee level, the fees waived by CCM in prior years in respect of CSCS, and the current size of the Fund.
 
Investment Results
 
     CST. The Trustees reviewed comparative information that showed that CST’s average annual total return for the Institutional class of shares was better than the average annual total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the 1, 3, 10 and 15 year periods ended October 31, 2010 and worse than the average annual return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the 5 year period ended October 31, 2010.They also reviewed comparative information that showed that CST’s average annual return for the Investor class of shares was better than the average annual total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the 3 year period ended October 31, 2010 and worse than the average annual return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the 1 and 5 year periods ended October 31, 2010 and

since the inception of the class (July 18, 2005). They noted that CST’s average annual total return for Institutional class of shares was better than the average annual total return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index and CST’s Lipper peer group for the 10 and 15 year periods ended October 31, 2010 but lagged the average annual return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index and CST’s Lipper peer group for the 1, 3 and 5 year periods ended October 31, 2010, and that the average annual return of the Investor class of shares lagged the average annual return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index and CST’s Lipper peer group for the 1, 3 and 5 year periods ended October 31, 2010 and since inception. The Trustees noted that CST’s average annual total return was in the third quintile of its Morningstar peer group for the one year period ended October 31, 2010 and in the second quintile of its Morningstar peer group for the three year period ended October 31, 2010. (In all quintile rankings referred to throughout this disclosure, first quintile is most favorable to the Fund’s shareholders.Thus, highest relative performance would be first quintile and lowest relative expenses would also be first quintile.) The Trustees considered CCM’s explanation of CST’s recent relative underperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Trustees considered the impact of market conditions on CST’s performance in light of CST’s strategies.The Trustees agreed that they would continue to closely monitor the performance of CST.
 
     CSCS. The Trustees reviewed comparative information that showed that CSCS’s average annual total return for the Institutional class of shares was better than or in line with the average annual total returns of the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index for the 1, 3 and 10 year periods ended October 31, 2010, but lagged the average annual total returns of the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index for the 5 year periods ended October 31, 2010. With respect to CSCS’s Investor class of shares, the Trustees considered that the average annual total return of the Investor class of shares was better than the average annual total returns of the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index for 10 year period ended October 31, 2010 but lagged the average annual total returns of the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Index for the 1, 3 and 5 year periods ended October 31, 2010. They noted that CSCS’s average annual total return for Institutional class of shares was better than the average annual total return of CSCS’s Lipper peer group for the 1, 3 and 10 year periods ended October 31, 2010 but slightly lagged the average annual return of the Lipper peer group for the 5 year period ended October 31, 2010, and that the average annual return of the Investor class of shares was better than the average annual return of CST’s Lipper peer group for the 3 and 10 year periods ended October 31, 2010 but lagged the average annual return of the Lipper peer group for the 1 and 5 year periods ended October 31, 2010. The Trustees noted that CSCS’s average annual total return was in the second quintile of its Morningstar peer group for the one and three year periods ended October 31, 2010.The Trustees considered CCM’s explanation of CSCS’s relative underperformance in certain periods for the different classes of shares. The Trustees agreed that they would continue to closely monitor the performance of CSCS.
 
Fees and Other Expenses
 
     The Trustees considered the advisory fees paid by each Fund to CCM.The Trustees also considered the administrative fee rate paid by CST to CCM.The Trustees considered (i) the level of each Fund’s advisory fee versus its peer group and peer universe as shown in the Lipper materials and (ii) each Fund’s total expense ratio as compared to its peer group and peer universe as shown in the Lipper materials.
 
     The Trustees also considered the fees that CCM charges institutional investors and other clients.The Trustees reviewed materials from CCM describing the differences in services provided to these other clients, which noted that typically more services were provided to the Funds than these other clients and that, because of the constant issuance and redemption of Fund shares, the Funds were more difficult to manage than other clients.With respect to CCM’s subadvisory relationship with other mutual funds, the Trustees considered that CCM provided fewer services to those funds than it provided to the Funds. The materials showed that the fee rates charged by CCM to each Fund were generally similar to (but not necessarily as low as, in all cases) the fees paid by CCM’s other clients.
 
     The information obtained from Lipper for the meeting compared the advisory fee, transfer agency/custodian fees, distribution fees, other nonmanagement expenses and total expenses for the Institutional and Investor class of shares of each Fund to those of a group of competitor funds of roughly equivalent size, as well as a universe of competitor funds. The Trustees did not independently verify any of the information provided by Lipper.
 
     CST. The Trustees reviewed information that showed that CST’s advisory fee (which includes administration) was higher than the Lipper peer group and peer universe averages.The Trustees also considered that CST’s total expense ratio for the Institutional class of shares was lower than the Lipper peer group and peer universe averages and that CST’s total expense ratio for the Investor class of shares was higher than the Lipper peer group and peer universe averages.The Trustees considered that certain of the funds in the peer group had lower advisory fees than CST as a result of fee waivers that could be terminated. The Trustees also considered the services

provided by CCM as compared to the services provided by other advisers and the ability of the other advisers to realize economies of scale across a larger fund complex. The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees and total expense ratios of CST were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by CCM.
 
 
     CSCS. The Trustees reviewed information that showed that CSCS’s advisory fee was higher than the Lipper peer group average and peer universe averages. The Trustees also reviewed information that showed that the total expense ratio for CSCS’s Institutional class of shares was higher than the average total expense ratio of the Lipper peer group average but lower than the average total expense ratio of the Lipper peer universe, and that the total expense ratio for CSCS’s Investor class of shares was higher than both the Lipper peer group and peer universe averages. The Trustees also considered information provided to them regarding the costs to CCM of providing investment advisory services to CSCS, noting in particular the competitive market for analysts and portfolio managers and that the research needed to implement CSCS’s investment strategy was relatively costly. The Trustees also considered the services provided by CCM compared to the other advisers and ability of the other advisers to realize economies of scale across a larger fund complex.The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees, administrative fees and total expense ratios of CSCS were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by CCM.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
 
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees (in the case of Investor Shares of both Funds) and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare those costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period ended April 30, 2011.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual maintenance fee of $10.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain IRA accounts. This fee is not included in the table below. If it were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
