Explanatory Note:

The Registrant is filing this amendment to its Form N-CSR for the period ended October 31, 2011 in order to correct the typographical errors described below that appeared in the annual report to shareholders included in the Registrant’s Form N-CSR, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 6, 2012 (Accession Number 0000891804-12-000021).

In the Financial Highlights table for each of Century Small Cap Select Fund’s Institutional Shares and Investor Shares, the amounts reported as Distributions from Tax Return of Capital and Distributions from Net Realized Gain on Investment Transactions were reversed for 2007 and 2008.  In order to correct these typographical errors in each such table, the amounts reported as Distributions from Tax Return of Capital were changed from (2.01) to (0.00) for 2007 and from (2.10) to (0.19) for 2008, and the amounts reported as Distributions from Net Realized Gain on Investment Transactions were changed from (0.00) to (2.01) for 2007 and from (0.19) to (2.10) for 2008.

The Registrant’s revised annual report to shareholders for the period ended October 31, 2011 is included in Item 1 below.  Other than the aforementioned revisions, this Form N-CSR/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original N-CSR or modify or update disclosures therein in any way.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,
 
We would like to thank you for your continued support of our three Century Funds. During the tumultuous one-year fiscal period ended October 31, 2011, Century Small Cap Select Fund outperformed its benchmark index, Century Shares Trust slightly underperformed its benchmark index, and Century Growth Opportunities Fund (launched in November 2010) underperformed its benchmark. We review each Fund’s performance, positioning and outlook following this letter. In general, we are hopeful that the outlook for stock valuations and growth prospects look favorable over the next decade, especially if our political leadership firmly addresses the structural issues facing Americans and Europeans today.
 
The third quarter earnings season (just completed) reveals that most companies continued to deliver robust double digit revenue and earnings growth, despite the economic sluggishness we saw in unemployment, lending and overseas markets. Although we believe the 2012 outlook for many companies remains favorable, the growth and margin expectations may need to come down, especially if global market concerns are not resolved.
 
Shifting Priorities
 
We are at an important fiscal and political crossroads, where Western society needs to determine what role government and economic growth will play over the next fifty years. The potential default of several southern European countries (followed by questions about the survival of the “Euro” currency) led to the recent turmoil in the equity markets.
 
There are no easy solutions, and the resulting difficult lifestyle and austerity choices will require inspired (and bipartisan) leadership on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. I mention this need for courageous choices because the escalating European debt crisis already claimed the Greek and Italian Prime Ministers, and more victims will follow. Meanwhile, America’s 2012 election rhetoric is heating up, and the Congressional Supercommittee’s failure to find common ground on taxes and spending leaves many important questions unanswered about the size and scope of our government.
 
There is a growing consensus that Americans and Europeans need to structurally change their governments’ role in providing social services, considering the growing debt and deficit problems plaguing the Western world. Why? The price (and growing debt) of these services is crowding out other worthy “discretionary” spending priorities. The most basic questions we must face: Do we want a larger/smaller role for government in our society, how will we pay for these services and can we live within a budget?
 
“It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others that have been tried.” – Sir Winston Churchill
 
Democracy may be the best form of government, but it often defers the toughest decisions (wars and debt/spending troubles) until there is a crisis of confidence in the short term. I am optimistic that we will work through this current challenge, and the equity markets will respond favorably over the next decade. It will require difficult choices and sacrifices by all parties, but there is too much to gain from success, and failure is not an option.

Uncharted Territory
 
The battle lines are forming in the developed economies, but it will take over a decade to resolve these structural problems that have been building for forty years. We all want the support services that are available, but we are struggling to pay for them. The laws of Supply and Demand require us to collectively prioritize our needs and define a spending limit.
 
Today, there is no consensus about the boundaries of the private and public sectors. Are Americans prepared to leave important programs on the editing room floor, or will we agree which taxpayers should pay more? In Europe, the problems are more complex, since each country has a distinct tax and spending “fiscal” policy and culture, while all countries share a common Euro currency and “monetary” policy. Will countries secede from the Euro community, or will a consensus emerge (with painful austerity sacrifices from all sides) to maintain the current system? With so much to lose, I believe that finding common ground across such a wide group of nations and issues may set the stage for a prolonged period of global prosperity.
 
Leadership requires the courage to sacrifice easy, short-term options in order to achieve tougher, long-term goals; meanwhile, our elected officials are mostly influenced by short-term goals. I think this disconnect between good governance and popularity helps explain why tough decisions have been deferred for so long and why the equity markets do not have confidence in future policies or priorities. If courage can overcome this leadership lethargy, it will invigorate economic growth and productivity gains for nimble businesses to hire, borrow and innovate our way to a stronger economic recovery.
 
Courage starts with demanding our leaders to 1) think beyond the next couple elections and 2) be pragmatic about the short-term tradeoffs necessary to achieve long-term success. In all likelihood, we will each make painful sacrifices for the greater good, but the resulting opportunity will far exceed our expectations. In full disclosure, I am an optimist.
 
We hope to earn your trust over the coming year, and we wish you all a happy holiday season.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
 
 
Alexander L. Thorndike
Chairman of the Century Funds

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND COMMENTARY
 
How did the portfolio perform?
 
For the one-year period ended October 31, 2011, Century Small Cap Select Fund Institutional Shares returned 13.86% and the Investor Shares returned 13.47%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index’s return of 9.84%.
 
What factors influenced performance?
 
Strong performance by small cap stocks, which outperformed large cap stocks by over 6% during the first half of fiscal 2011, was a primary factor influencing performance. The improving economy was the underlying reason for the stock market’s strength. The Russell 2000 Growth Index appreciated steadily from October 31, 2010, through April 30, 2011, rising a noteworthy 27%. Unfortunately, macroeconomic concerns in the Middle East, Europe, and China weighed heavily on small cap stocks during the second half of fiscal 2011, with the Russell 2000 Growth Index falling about 13.6%.
 
Strong stock selection was the driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark. Significant contributions from HealthSpring Inc. (managed care organization), Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (specialty pharmaceuticals), Chart Industries, Inc. (industrial equipment), and DSW, Inc. (footwear retailer) more than offset relative weakness from STR Holdings, Inc. (solar power component producer), Online Resources Corp. (financial processor), NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (biopharmaceuticals), and Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (metal recycler).
 
Stock selection led the Fund to outperform in six of the eight benchmark sectors in which it was invested. Leading contributors to overall Fund performance included the Industrials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Energy, Consumer Staples, and Financials were laggards overall.
 
Describe recent portfolio activity
 
The Fund recently increased its exposure to the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors, while reducing its exposure to Industrial and Financial stocks. Given the uncertain economic outlook and volatile stock market, we have underweighted Industrials, Energy, and the Consumer sectors relative to the Index. We believe going forward that stock selection will be a driver of performance rather than sector allocation.

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND COMMENTARY (CONTINUED)
 
Describe portfolio positioning at period-end
 
The Fund is positioned to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities across almost every sector. We are focused on investing in companies that we believe will be able to generate healthy growth in 2012 despite near term economic challenges. We are also focused on profitability and financial strength, which we think will help to ensure that the companies we invest in are able to weather potential downturns that may occur. We believe our focus on in-depth fundamental research will be an advantage, especially since stock selection is likely to be the primary driver of outperformance.
 
Risks: The 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. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND
Performance Summary – Institutional Shares and Investor Shares
 
The returns shown below represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be significantly lower or higher than the Fund’s past 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 expenses are 1.50% for the Investor Shares and 1.13% for the Institutional Shares. Returns would have been lower during certain periods if certain fees had not been waived or expenses reimbursed. 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.
 
The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted to reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on these distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Shares held less than 90 days may be subject to a 1% redemption fee.

CENTURY SHARES TRUST COMMENTARY
 
How did the portfolio perform?
 
For the one-year period ended October 31, 2011, Century Shares Trust Institutional Shares returned 9.79%, slightly behind the Russell 1000 Growth Index while outperforming the S&P 500 Index, which returned 9.92% and 8.09%, respectively.
 
What factors influenced performance?
 
Although the stock market started off very strong from October 31, 2010 to mid-February 2011 with the Russell 1000 Growth Index rising about 14%, it plateaued at that level for about five months before experiencing some significant volatility at the end of the fiscal year. An improving economy sparked the rise early in the year. Thereafter, uncertainty entered the picture. Numerous geopolitical issues and natural disasters arose and resulted in a stock market driven by macro events, rather than underlying fundamentals.
 
The Fund underperformed during the market decline in August 2011, but subsequently outperformed in October 2011. Stock selection was the primary driver of performance. Strong performance by Tempur-Pedic International, Inc. (mattress manufacturer), Tiffany & Co. (jewelry retailer) and CBS Corp. (media company) was partially offset by weakness in NII Holdings, Inc. (Latin American wireless operator), CIT Group, Inc. (commercial finance) and MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (prepaid wireless operator).
 
In terms of sector allocation, the Fund was positioned to take advantage of an improving economy. The Fund was modestly overweight cyclical sectors such as Industrials and Consumer Discretionary while underweighting defensive sectors such as Consumer Staples and Health Care. Given the economy’s high unemployment rate and slower than expected recovery, the Fund’s sector allocation was a drag on performance.
 
Describe recent portfolio activity
 
The portfolio continued to be allocated across most sectors of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Our continued belief in the slow economic recovery has led to portfolio overweight positions in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Technology and an underweight in Consumer Staples. Over the past year, we have reduced the number of portfolio holdings to 34 stocks as of October 31, 2011 from 52 stocks a year ago. As we sold stocks, we reinvested most of the proceeds in existing holdings. As a result, Century Shares Trust is now comprised of a more focused group of our highest conviction investment ideas.

CENTURY SHARES TRUST FUND COMMENTARY (CONTINUED)
 
Describe portfolio positioning at period-end
 
The Fund continues to invest in what we believe are high quality growth companies that offer the potential of outperformance over the long term. The Fund remains diversified, but is positioned to benefit from an improving economy. The pace of economic improvement has been and is expected to be slow, but seems to be showing signs of improvement. For example, auto sales rose above 13 million units in both September and October of 2011 while the ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices were both above 50, which indicate expansion. Since we now believe the recovery will be slower than we expected six months ago, we seek to invest in companies with strong secular growth opportunities, solid profitability, and reasonable valuations.
 
Risks: The Fund may invest a significant portion of assets in a limited number of companies or in companies within the same market sector. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to financial, market and economic events affecting particular companies or sectors and therefore may experience greater price volatility than funds with more diversified portfolios. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

Performance Summary – Institutional Shares
 
The returns shown below represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions,and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be significantly lower or higher than the Fund’s past 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 expenses for the Institutional Shares are 1.15%.On May 27,2011,all of the Fund’s issued and outstanding Investor Shares were converted to Institutional Shares and the Investor Shares class was closed. Institutional Shares performance shown does not include fees or the higher expense rations applicable to the former Investor Shares. Otherwise, returns shown would have been lower. 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.
 
The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted to reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on these distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Shares held less than 90 days may be subject to a 1% redemption fee.
 
Effective October 31, 2011, the Russell 1000® Growth Index replaced the S&P 500® Index as the comparative index for the Fund. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The S&P 500 Index is a broad based unmanaged index representing the performance of 500 widely held common stocks. The Fund’s Adviser believes that the Russell 1000 Growth Index is a more appropriate benchmark because the Fund’s sector weightings and other portfolio characteristics are more comparable to those of the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

CENTURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND COMMENTARY
 
How did the portfolio perform?
 
For the period November 17, 2010 (the Fund’s inception date) through October 31, 2011, Century Growth Opportunities Fund returned 6.70%, trailing its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, which returned 10.67% during that same time period.
 
What factors influenced performance?
 
Equity markets experienced a strong beginning to the fiscal-year period, ending October 31, 2011, as economic activity showed signs of acceleration. Within the Russell 2500 Growth Index, a concentration of high-growth, high valuation stocks were catalysts for upward performance. Defensive and more domestically oriented sectors (Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary and Utilities) assumed leadership during the spring and summer, while, slowing global growth, mounting European debt, and the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating ushered in uncertainty and volatility. As the period drew to a close, all eyes were on Europe, and the markets ebbed and flowed with each new headline.
 
The Fund trailed its benchmark during the first half of the reporting period, but outperformed during the second half. Secular growth opportunities drove performance. Leading contributors included Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (biotechnology company), SolarWinds, Inc. ( IT services/software provider), Diamond Foods Inc. (packaged food), Tempur-Pedic International, Inc. (mattress manufacturer), and ION Geophysical Corporation (energy services).
 
As the prospect of slowing global growth became more evident, we added to the Fund’s holdings in companies that we believed offered more dependable growth prospects and reduced holdings in more economically sensitive sectors, such as Industrials. This proved beneficial. Consumer Discretionary and Health Care were leading contributors for the period. A significant underweight in Financials also contributed to performance. Economic growth concerns caused Industrials and Technology to be laggards, though our underweight position and stock selection did help performance in the second half of the reporting period.
 
Describe recent portfolio activity
 
The portfolio remains diversified across the sectors of the Russell 2500 Growth Index. Since our last report, we have continued to adopt a more defensive posture in our holdings. We have reduced allocations in Consumer Discretionary and Industrials. At the same time we have used sell offs in the market to acquire or add to stock holdings that we believe will thrive in slow growth environments.

CENTURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND COMMENTARY (CONTINUED)
 
Describe portfolio positioning at period-end
 
The Fund remains focused on companies that we believe offer higher visibility and the ability to generate returns in a slow growth environment. The European debt crisis continues to play out with no real solution in sight. We have reduced exposure to Europe and have increased exposure to secular growth companies whose financials have been resilient during this time of uncertainty. The United States economy has continued to improve albeit at a slow pace and so we have added to portfolio holdings that derive most of their revenues domestically.
 
Risks: The Fund invests mainly in small-cap and mid-cap companies, which, historically, have been more volatile in price than the stocks of large-cap companies. The Fund may invest in foreign companies, which involves risks not associated with investing solely in U.S. companies, such as currency fluctuations, unfavorable political developments, or economic instability. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

It includes those Russell 2500 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends but, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. One cannot invest directly in an index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(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 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 following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
 
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.
 
Under GAAP for fair value measurements, a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value.
 
·  
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 October 31, 2011 in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

* At October 31, 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 GAAP 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.
 
Century Shares Trust may invest a significant portion of assets in a limited number of companies. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to financial, market and economic events affecting particular companies and therefore may experience greater price volatility than funds with more diversified portfolios.
 
Century Growth Opportunities Fund invests mainly in small-cap and mid-cap companies, which, historically, have been more volatile in price than the stocks of large-cap companies.
 
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.
 
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.
 
E. Multiple Classes of Shares –– Century Small Cap Select Fund offers 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.

Prior to May 27, 2011, Century Shares Trust offered two classes of shares; however, effective as of that date, all 61,614 of the Fund’s issued and outstanding Investor Shares were converted to Institutional Shares and the Investor Shares class was closed.
 
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.
 
In order to present undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income (“UNII”) and accumulated net realized loss (“Accumulated Loss”) more closely to its tax character, the following accounts for each Fund were increased (decreased):
 
                   
   
Paid-In
         
Accumulated
 
   
Capital
   
UNII
   
gain/loss
 
Century Shares Trust

Century Growth Opportunities Fund 
  $ (30,667 )    $ 30,402     $ 265  
 
 
These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. The Funds had temporary book/tax differences primarily attributable to wash sales or portfolio securities and permanent book/tax differences primarily attributable to net operating losses. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
 
The federal income tax cost of investments and tax-basis components of distributable earnings as of October 31, 2011 were as follows:

As of October 31, 2011, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure.

H. Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

Century Shares Trust: The Trust has entered into an Administration Agreement with CCM pursuant to which CCM provides certain administrative services to Century Shares Trust at the annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
Century Small Cap Select Fund: Per the Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement between the Trust and CCM, Century Small Cap Select Fund reimburses CCM for expenses associated with having the adviser’s personnel perform shareholder service functions and certain financial, accounting, administrative and clerical services.

CCM pays State Street a sub-administration fee for sub-administration services provided to each Fund.
 
(6)      DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES –– The Trust has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act on behalf of Century Shares Trust and Century Small Cap Select Fund. The Plans authorize each Fund to pay up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Shares class for distribution and shareholder services. The Plans may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Investor Shares.
 
The Rule 12b-1 Plan for Century Shares Trust was terminated following the conversion of the Fund’s Investor Shares to Institutional Shares.
 
The Trust has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries and have agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing such services. Certain services would be provided by the Funds if the shares of each customer were registered directly with the Funds’ transfer agent. Each Fund pays a portion of the intermediary fees attributable to shares of the Fund not exceeding the estimated expense the Fund would have paid its transfer agent had each customer’s shares been registered directly with the transfer agent instead of held through the intermediary accounts.
 
(7)      ADVISER REIMBURSEMENTS
 
Century Shares Trust: CCM contractually agreed to limit the operating expenses of the Century Shares Trust Investor Shares to 1.45% through February 28, 2012.

CCM may, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Funds or their shareholders, provide compensation to certain financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers and financial advisors, in connection with the sale of shares of the Funds or the provision of services to Fund shareholders. For example, such compensation may be paid to an intermediary for providing access to a third party platform, such as a mutual fund supermarket, or for providing services to shareholders who invest via such a platform. This compensation is in addition to any distribution and service fees paid by the Funds pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 Plan and in addition to subtransfer agency fees paid by the Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Trustees of Century Capital Management Trust and Shareholders of Century Shares Trust, Century Small Cap Select Fund and Century Growth Opportunities Fund (collectively, the “Funds”):
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Century Shares Trust and Century Small Cap Select Fund, each a series of Century Capital Management Trust (the “Trust”), as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. We have also audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Century Growth Opportunities Fund, a series of the Trust, as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from inception, November 17, 2010, to October 31, 2011. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Century Shares Trust, Century Small Cap Select Fund and Century Growth Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2011, and the results of operations of Century Shares Trust and Century Small Cap Select Fund for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the results of operations, changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights of Century Growth Opportunities Fund for the period from inception, November 17, 2010, to October 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 October 31, 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.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, Century Capital Management Trust has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that applies to its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.

During the period covered by this report, there were no amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code of ethics.

A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit hereto.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Board of Trustees has determined that Jerry Rosenbloom, who is a member of the Century Capital Management Trust Board of Trustees and Audit Committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. Mr. Rosenbloom is an independent trustee, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this item's instructions. Mr. Rosenbloom received his B.S. degree in Business Administration from Temple University and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Economics, with a concentration in insurance, from the University of Pennsylvania. He is currently the Frederick H. Ecker Emeritus Professor of Insurance and Risk Management at the Wharton School. He was the past Chairman of the Insurance and Risk Management Department at Wharton and the past Executive Director of the S.S. Huebner Foundation for Insurance Education. He has served on the Boards of Directors of mutual funds and insurance companies, including in the capacity of audit committee member, and he has served as a consultant to numerous companies, funds and associations. In connection with his directorships and audit committee memberships, as well as his academic and teaching activities and his consulting activities for public and private companies, Mr. Rosenbloom has evaluated financial statements containing a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues comparable to those that may arise in the financial statements of the Funds, and he has developed an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, as well as audit committee functions. The SEC has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) 
Audit Fees.

For each of the last two fiscal years of the Trust, there were no audit-related fees billed by the Fund's principal accountant to the Trust's investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (together, "Adviser Related Entities") for services that were related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust.

For each of the Trust's last two fiscal years, no such fees were billed by the Trust's principal accountant to the Trust or to Adviser Related Entities for services related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust.

(e)(1) The Audit Committee's pre-approval policies and procedures are as follows:

The Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board requires that the Committee approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Funds and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Funds' independent auditors to the Funds' investment adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.

     (2) No services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
