Crisis Ebbs, Economy Stabilizes, Outlook Hinges on Self-Sustaining Recovery
Economy
Economic data releases have consistently surprised to the upside and the recovery is continuing to gain momentum. Growth is starting to look more like a “V”-shaped snapback, at least through the early stages. U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is likely to grow at a more rapid pace than many expected, as the fiscal plan is gradually released into the economy and short rates stay at rock-bottom levels. While important challenges lie ahead, we believe the odds of a “double dip”—a fall back into recession—are quite low given the momentum of the recovery and the stimulus still in the pipeline. In all likelihood, we have entered a period of sustained growth for the economy
Previously, we expressed our belief that we were in a recovery, but outlined several headwinds. Credit was just starting to recover, consumers were still working through the deleveraging process and businesses were continuing to downsize and cut costs. In addition, we were concerned about increased government involvement in many sectors of the economy. However, capital markets have largely shrugged off these concerns. We are impressed by the emerging strength in most regions. In the U.S., with only 12% of the fiscal stimulus deployed thus far, there is still much more to come.
We were also concerned about the threat of policy blunders, as the roadmap for successfully reversing course on central banks’ epic easing is now only being drawn. However, these risks may be pushed out beyond the forecast horizon. Concerns that central bankers will leave rates too low for too long, are lessened as the output gap is simply too wide for inflation to take hold in the coming 12 months. Similarly, the reciprocal risk that central bankers begin tightening before the recovery has gained firm foot has diminished. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have signaled that the long period of rock-bottom rates will continue for some time
The recent trend in the economy suggests that the headwinds are creating less resistance than expected. Growth has a greater likelihood of surging than collapsing, as the buoyancy that extends from the deep recession is being realized and the risk of a true “double dip” seems increasingly remote. Our research shows that the first year of a new bull market draws its strength from the anticipation of economic recovery, regardless of how strong the recovery ultimately proves to be. Bull markets emerge with the growing likelihood of economic recovery, but draw strength from valuations. It is valuations, not the degree or intensity of GDP growth, that determine the scale of the recovery in stocks. The more deeply depressed stocks are relative to fair value at the trough, the greater the recovery. So, the pre-condition for a new bull market –a recovery that will not tip back into recession – appears to be in hand.
Equities
Many investors are discouraged by the 56.7% move in equity markets, since March 6th., believing that they missed the chance to add to equities at the lows. It is important, however, not to be mesmerized by the size of the rally thus far. Yes, we have come a long way, but stocks in most countries still lie |
1
LETTER FROM THE CIO OF EQUITIES | ||
about one standard deviation below fair value based on our analysis. Equities are trading at levels that we have not seen since the days following the 1987 stock market crash.
The rally has taken out the extreme undervaluation, but stocks are still discounting earnings and valuations that are well below normalized levels. Once the recession is truly behind us, normalized or trend-line earnings represent a strong central tendency for expectations. Even though there are headwinds, there is also tremendous operating leverage (especially given prior cost cutting) to justify these earnings targets as reasonable. Based on our analysis, the trend-line level for operating earnings is now $80 for 2009, and rises to $85 for 2010. Even a very conservative price/earnings multiple of 15.7x, which is one standard deviation below the norm, would produce targets for the S&P 500 of 1,256 and 1,334 for this year and next. This implies very attractive returns, despite the move so far.
While cash balances are down from their highs, there is still a mountain waiting on the sidelines. Those investors with cash, feeling that they missed the lows, are hoping for a deep correction to give them the chance to put some of that cash to work in the equity market. Few people seem comfortable with the prospect of an extended move to the upside from here, focusing more on the size of the rally thus far than the scale of the opportunity that could lie ahead as, one by one, the well articulated and near-universal fears of early this year quietly evaporate.
We acknowledge that risks remain and the market is vulnerable to a correction/consolidation. So far, the advance/decline line remains supportive, credit spreads are once again confirming the move in stocks and market speculation remains neutral.
The market continues to be led by low quality companies. This reflects “optionality”, as those companies that are most dependent on an economic recovery are coming back from the abyss. These companies are now able to raise capital, giving them time to restructure. This phenomenon is typical at the outset of a new bull market, but short-lived, generally only lasting three to four months.
Near-term risk of correction/consolidation in the equity markets cannot be ignored. However, barring a double dip for the economy, equities should produce superior intermediate/long-term returns as risk premiums continue to normalize and earnings reverse to the upside. | ||

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
(1) | The Funds’ expenses reflect the most recent fiscal year-end (September 30, 2009). |
(2) | The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Fund to the levels listed under net expense ratio until January 31, 2011. |
* | Each of the comparative indices is a widely recognized market value weighted measure of the return of securities, but do not include sales fees or operating expenses. You cannot invest directly in indices. |
(a) | The performance in the table for the period from June 1, 1994 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund , the predecessor to RBC Mid Cap Growth Fund (formerly known as Tamarack Mid Cap Growth Fund).

The CTF account was not registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act and therefore was not subject to the investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the CTF account had been registered, the CTF account’s performance may have been adversely affected. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower). |
(b) | The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is December 31, 1990. |
(c) | The inception date for Class C and Class R Shares of the Fund is April 19, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class A Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class C and Class R Shares, as applicable (and where applicable, the maximum sales charges of the Class C Shares). |
(d) | The inception date for Class S Shares of the Fund is April 19, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class S Shares. |
(e) | The performance in the table for the period from December 2, 1983 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund, the predecessor to RBC Enterprise Fund (formerly known as Tamarack Enterprise Fund). Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower). |
(f) | The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is December 2, 1983. The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from November 30, 1983. |
(g) | The inception date for Class A, Class C and Class R Shares of the Fund is April 19, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class S Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class A, Class C and Class R Shares, as applicable (and where applicable, the maximum sales charges of the Class A and Class C Shares). |
(h) | The inception date for Class I Shares of the Fund is September 30, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class S Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, as applicable. |
(i) | The performance in the table for the period from August 5, 1991 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund II, the predecessor to RBC Small Cap Core Fund (formerly known as Tamarack Small Cap Core Fund). Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower). |
(j) | The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is August 5, 1991. The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from July 31, 1991. |

The graph reflects an initial investment of $10,000 over a 10 year period and is based on Class S shares. The performance of the Fund for the period from September 30, 1999 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund II, the predecessor to RBC Small Cap Core Fund. The Fund’s total return includes reinvested dividends and capital gains. The Fund’s total return also includes operating expenses that reduce return, while the total return of the index does not. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Performance of other classes will vary due to differences in fee structures.

September 30, 2009
1. Organization
RBC Funds Trust (“the Trust”) (formerly known as Tamarack Funds Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003. Predecessor funds to the Trust were reorganized as portfolios of the Trust effective April 16, 2004. This annual report includes the following four investment portfolios (“Funds”):
• | RBC Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) |
• | RBC Enterprise Fund (“Enterprise Fund”) |
• | RBC Small Cap Core Fund (“Small Cap Core Fund”) |
• | RBC Microcap Value Fund (“Microcap Value Fund”) |
The Mid Cap Growth and Enterprise Funds offer five share classes: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class I and Class S shares. The Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds offer four share classes: Class A, Class C, Class R and Class S shares. Class A shares are offered with a 5.75% maximum front-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class C shares are offered at net asset value (i.e. no front-end sales charge), but are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% for redemptions within 12 months of purchase. Class R shares (available to certain 401(k) and other employer-sponsored retirement plans), Class I shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) and Class S shares are not subject to either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.
Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (“Voyageur”), which will be renamed RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. on or about December 31, 2009, acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of Voyageur or its affiliates or of PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNC”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Security Valuation:
Equity securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Equity securities traded on one or more U.S. exchanges shall be valued at the last available quoted sale price on the primary trading exchange as of the valuation time. Valuation time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). If there was no sale on the primary exchange on the day the net asset value is calculated, the most recent bid quotation generally will be used. In cases where neither closing prices nor bid prices are available, or where those prices do not accurately reflect the value of the security, a security will be valued in accordance with the Funds’ approved pricing and valuation procedures to determine a security’s fair value. These procedures are also used to determine the fair value of a security if a significant event occurs that materially affects the value of the security. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Short-term securities with less than 60 days to maturity at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
52
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value Measurements:
Various input levels are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:
• | Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
• | Level 2 - significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
• | Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:

Level 1 Quoted Prices |
Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs |
Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs |

* | Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in level 3 securities still held at September 30, 2009. |
The Funds did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2009.
Repurchase Agreements:
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the 100 largest U.S. commercial banks (as measured by domestic deposits) who are deemed creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. These repurchase agreements are subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. the Funds’ custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Funds have
53
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
procedures to secure additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default. There were no Repurchase Agreements held at September 30, 2009.
Investment Transactions and Income:
Investment transactions are recorded on one business day after trade date, except on the last day of each fiscal quarter end, when they are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the cost of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method.
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or adviser fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.
Real Estate Investment Trusts:
The Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the period, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. Income dividends and capital gains on each Fund are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, distribution redisignations and prior year spillbacks ), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment. Such differences are not reflected in the calculation of the Financial Highlights.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, permanent difference reclassification amounts were as follows:

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Trust has entered into investment advisory agreements with Voyageur under which Voyageur manages each Fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreements require each Fund to pay Voyageur a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the advisory contracts, Voyageur is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets of Fund |
Annual Rate | ||||
Mid Cap Growth Fund |
All Net Assets | 0.70 | % | ||

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Voyageur has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Class S shares of each Fund and Class I shares of each Fund (except Small Cap Core Fund and Microcap Value Fund, which do not offer Class I shares) to the following levels. This expense limitation agreement is in place from February 1, 2009 until January 31, 2010.

1.10 | % | |
Enterprise Fund |
1.08 | % | |
Small Cap Core Fund |
1.30 | % | |
Microcap Value Fund |
1.07 | % |
Classes A, C, and R vary from these limits only by the addition of class-specific 12b-1 fees. Each Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by Voyageur, any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay Voyageur such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation stated above. At September 30, 2009, the amounts subject to possible recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are $176,347, $545,011, $284,522 and $488,084 for Mid Cap Growth Fund, Enterprise Fund, Small Cap Core Fund and Microcap Value Fund respectively.
Voyageur may also voluntarily waive and/or reimburse operating expenses of any Fund from time to time. Any such voluntary program may be changed or eliminated at any time without notice.
Voyageur serves as co-administrator to the Funds. PNC serves as co-administrator and fund accounting agent. Services provided under the administrative services contract include providing day-to-day administration of matters related to the Funds, maintenance of their records and the preparation of reports. Under the terms of the administrative services contract, Voyageur receives from each Fund a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.075% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. PNC receives a fee for its services payable by the Funds based on the Funds’ average net assets. Voyageur’s fee is listed as “Administration fees” in the Statements of Operations. PNC’s fee is included with “Accounting fees” in the Statements of Operations.
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the adviser or the administrator. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $20,000. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,000 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.
4. Fund Distribution
Each of the Funds has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Tamarack Distributors Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Distributor is an affiliate of
55
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Voyageur. The Plan permits each Fund to make payments for or to reimburse the Distributor monthly for distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of each share class covered under the Plan; and/or for providing shareholder services. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for each class.
Class A | Class C | Class R | |||||||
12b-1 Plan Fee |
0.25 | %* | 1.00 | % | 0.50 | % |
* | The maximum Plan fee rate for Class A shares is 0.50%. The Distributor is contractually waiving 0.25% of the total 0.50% Plan fee for Class A at least through January 31, 2010. |
Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of the applicable class. Up to 0.25% of each Plan fee may be designated as a Service Fee, as defined by the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive a Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor received commissions of $6,946 from front-end sales charges of Class A shares of the Funds, of which $1,316 was paid to affiliated broker-dealers, the remainder was either paid to unaffiliated broker-dealers or retained by the Distributor. The Distributor also received $1,004 from CDSC fees from Class C shares of the Funds. The Distributor received no CDSC fees from Class A shares of the Funds during the year ended September 30, 2009.
5. Securities Transactions
The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the period ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:

7. Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
As of September 30, 2009, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
Tax Cost of Securities |

8. Market Timing
The Trust strongly discourages attempts at market timing by Fund shareholders. Each Fund charges a redemption fee of 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, in addition to limiting the number of exchanges that may be made between Funds to five (5) per calendar year. When assessed, the redemption fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and retained by the Fund, not by Voyageur. This redemption fee is not charged in cases where, for example, the redemption results from an automatic reinvestment or asset re-allocation not specifically directed by the shareholder. The Trust also reserves the right to reject any Fund purchase order made by persons deemed to be market timers. The Funds’ prospectus contains a full description of the Trust’s policies on market timing and/or excessive trading. The redemption fee is recorded as a credit to capital and is included in the capital transactions on the statement of changes in net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9. Soft Dollars
The term soft dollars generally refers to arrangements in which services other than trade execution are received from a broker-dealer. Federal securities laws permit a fund advisor to incur commission charges on behalf of a Fund that are higher than another broker dealer would have charged if the advisor believes the charges are reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services received. Voyageur has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Funds to seek the best execution price for all of the Funds’ securities transactions. Fund management believes that using soft dollars to purchase brokerage and research services may, in certain cases, be in a Fund’s best interest. As of September 30, 2009, certain of the Funds used soft dollar arrangements on a limited basis. Fund management continues to closely monitor its current use of soft dollars, in addition to regulatory developments in this area for any possible impact on Fund policies.
10. Subsequent Event
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through November 24, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that the following subsequent events require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
On October 16, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved a name change of the Tamarack Mid Cap Growth Fund, Tamarack Enterprise Fund, Tamarack Small Cap Core Fund and Tamarack Microcap Value Fund to RBC Mid Cap Growth Fund, RBC Enterprise Fund, RBC Small Cap Core Fund and RBC Microcap Value Fund, respectively. The changes to the Fund names had no effect on the investment strategies or risks of the Fund or the Index construction or methodology. The ticker symbols will remain the same and CUSIP numbers will change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of RBC Funds Trust (formerly Tamarack Funds Trust)
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of RBC Mid Cap Growth Fund, RBC Enterprise Fund, RBC Small Cap Core Fund, and RBC Microcap Value Fund (the “Funds”), four of the portfolios constituting the RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”), as of September 30, 2009, 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. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ 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 audits 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 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 Trusts’ 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 September 30, 2009, by correspondence with the Funds’ custodian and brokers. 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 each of the portfolios of the RBC Funds Trust referred to above as of September 30, 2009, the results of their operations 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, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SHARE CLASS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The RBC Equity Funds offer up to five share classes. These five share classes are the A, C, R, I, and S classes.
Class A
Class A shares are available for purchase primarily through investment advisors, broker-dealers, banks and other financial services intermediaries. Class A shares of the Funds are currently subject to a maximum up-front sales charge of 5.75% and a 1.00% CDSC for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase. Class A shares currently include a 0.25% (25 bps) annual 12b-1 service and distribution fee. (The 12b-1 Plan allows for 50 bps, but the Funds’ distributor is currently voluntarily waiving 25 bps. The Distributor currently has no plans to discontinue this waiver.) Class A shares have a higher up-front sales charge (load) than Class C shares, but a lower annual expense ratio.
Class C
Class C shares are also available for purchase primarily through investment advisors, broker-dealers, banks and other financial services intermediaries. Class C shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. (No CDSC will be charged on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains.) C Class shares expenses include a 1.00% (100 bps) annual 12b-1 service and distribution fee. Class C shares have a lower up-front sales charge (load) than Class A shares, but due to the higher service and distribution fee, have higher annual expenses than A Class shares.
Class R
Class R shares are available for purchase through employer-sponsored or 401(k) retirement plans for which omnibus or program-level accounts are held on the books of the Funds. Class R shares have no up-front sales charge (load), but are subject to a 0.50% (50 bps) 12b-1 service and distribution fee. Class R shares currently have annual expenses between Class A and Class C share expenses.
Class S
Class S shares are available to investors purchasing shares directly through the Fund or its agent, BFDS, or through certain fee-based programs of broker-dealers or registered investment advisors. This share class does not have an up-front sales charge (load) or a 12b-1 service and distribution fee.
Class I
Class I shares are available in the Mid Cap Growth and Enterprise Funds. This share class is intended for investors meeting certain minimum investment thresholds. This share class does not have an up-front sales charge (load) or a 12b-1 service and distribution fee.
For an investor purchasing RBC Funds shares through a financial services intermediary, the question as to which share class, A or C, is the better choice is dependent on many factors, including the amount to be invested and the length of time an investor anticipates holding the shares. An investor should consult with his or her financial advisor about his or her personal financial situation to determine which share class is the best choice for his or her individual situation.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; 12b-1 distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these 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 entire period from April 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses and Performance
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Information Regarding the Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements
In September, 2009, after evaluating the services provided by Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (the “Advisor”) and reviewing the performance, fees and expenses of each Fund, the RBC Funds’ Board of Trustees determined to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (“Agreements”) with the Advisor for each of the Funds for an additional year.
As part of their review of the Agreements, the Trustees requested and considered information regarding the advisory services performed by the Advisor, the staffing and qualifications of the personnel responsible for operating and managing the Funds, and the Funds’ performance and expenses. The review process was guided by the Board’s Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee. The Trustees considered information provided at regular quarterly Board and Committee meetings throughout the year, as well as a special meeting to review requested material related to the proposed renewals and a meeting held to specifically consider the proposed renewals.
The Trustees met with representatives from the Advisor’s senior management team, as well as senior investment professionals, to discuss the information and the Advisor’s ongoing management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor, including information prepared by an independent third-party consultant as to each Fund’s performance relative to appropriate index benchmarks as well as fund peer group comparative information requested by the Board. The Trustees reviewed the investment advisory fees payable to the Advisor, and reviewed comparative fee and expense information for similarly situated funds prepared by the consultant. The Trustees also received reports from the Advisor regarding other investment companies it advised, including the advisory fees paid, as well as other advisory client accounts and their related fees. The Trustees evaluated profitability data for the Advisor, and considered information regarding other benefits the Advisor and its affiliates derived from its relationships with the Funds. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their own independent legal counsel with regard to the materials and their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.
With regard to Fund performance, the Trustees recognized that the more conservative, higher quality, investment approach used for the Enterprise Fund appropriately accounted for the top quartile performance relative to peer funds in the most recent year, the fourth quartile performance for the trailing three and five year periods, and the second quartile performance over the longer term. Similarly, the Microcap Value Fund’s higher quality focus accounted for its underperformance relative to its peers. The Trustees believed that each of these Funds’ risk-adjusted performance was consistent with its investment mandate. The performance of the Small Cap Core Fund was favorable in relative terms and the Trustees recognized the Advisor’s management and trading expertise that contributed to that Fund’s success. The Mid Cap Growth Fund performance had improved to the second quintile consistent with market conditions and its focus on higher quality companies. In considering the quality of the services performed for each Fund by the Advisor, the Trustees discussed the research capabilities and fundamental analysis performed by the firm and also considered the portfolio management experience of the Advisor’s staff, its compliance structure and systems, financial strength, and its implementation of strategic initiatives geared toward the success of the Funds.
With regard to Fund expenses, the Trustees also reviewed and approved the Advisor’s proposal to continue for an additional year all existing fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements in order to limit operating expenses. The overall expenses of the Funds after the expense limitation arrangements placed all of the Funds in the most favorable quintile ranking, except for the Small Cap Core Fund, which was in the third quintile.
71
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Based upon their review, the Trustees determined that the advisory fees proposed to be payable to the Advisor were fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided under all of the circumstances, and were within the range of what might have been negotiated at arms’ length. The Trustees concluded that it is in the interest of the Funds and their shareholders for the Trustees to approve the continuation of the Agreements and expense limitation arrangements for the Funds. In arriving at their decision to approve the renewal of the Agreements, the Trustees did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of itself.

LETTER FROM THE CIO OF FIXED INCOME
As we look back, it’s important to appreciate just how far the U.S. fixed income market has bounced back from the economic crisis that defined much of the past year. What began in the subprime mortgage market triggered a series of events that destroyed much of the securitized market, brought down storied financial institutions, pushed the automobile industry into government control, froze the supply of new credit and resulted in the loss of millions of American jobs. However, since early March, strong momentum has been building across the financial markets and investor psychology has turned very positive over the second half of the year. In fact, corporate bond spreads have returned to pre-Lehman crisis levels as stronger than expected second quarter earnings and firming economic reports buoyed investor sentiment. Lower interest rates pushed bond prices higher and supported stronger performance across the riskier portions of the equity and debt markets.
Large portions of the global financial system are working through the painful process of de-leveraging and therefore issuing less debt. At the same time, high quality non-financial issuers are taking advantage of low absolute yields to term out their debt and reduce their reliance on short-term funding. The supply of short-term debt instruments available for investment, as measured by total dollars outstanding, is at a decade low level in both commercial paper and government agency discount notes. Increased issuance in U.S Treasury Bills has not made up for the difference, resulting in a dearth of offerings for money market funds to invest their growing balances. Decreased supply, steady demand and low absolute yields should continue to keep spreads tight for riskier assets on the front end of the curve.
High yield corporate bond spreads have also largely retraced the dramatic widening that began this time last year. Despite eye-popping high yield returns nearing 50% year to date, this year will see a record volume of corporate bond defaults. Year to date, we have seen $523B worth of corporate debt defaulting from 216 different issuers. While the crisis brought new and different challenges, our research team and fund managers have done an excellent job of steering our way through this difficult year avoiding any corporate defaults in any of our mutual funds or client portfolios. It goes without saying that it’s been a year of contrasts unlike any in modern economic history.
And while the market has seen historic volatility, The Federal Reserve has remained stoic in its commitment to getting the economy back on a path to maximizing sustainable economic output. The Federal Open Market Committee (F.O.M.C.) unanimously voted at each meeting since December 2008 to keep the Fed Funds rate at a target between 0% and 0.25%. Importantly, the Fed has been able to successfully lower interest rates and reduce the cost of capital so that the banking system could recapitalize itself. The down side to that success is the fact that current opportunities for investors in the short-term markets remain rather bleak. The Federal Reserve has clearly stated it expects to maintain the current monetary target for the foreseeable future given continued economic weakness and ongoing deflationary risks. Given the substantial slack within the economy, the Fed has some time before inflation becomes a legitimate real concern.
1
LETTER FROM THE CIO OF FIXED INCOME | ||
However, managing inflation expectations may prove difficult for the Federal Reserve if the economic rebound becomes self-sustaining. As the Federal Reserve is preparing its exit strategy from some of the more extraordinary monetary policy and liquidity programs it has put in place over the past year, speculation is bound to increase as to the timing and scale in which these accommodations will be removed. While we believe the Federal Reserve won’t seriously consider changing monetary policy until the quantitative easing programs cease in the first quarter of 2010, the higher supply of Treasury bill and repurchase volumes necessitated by the Fed’s exit strategies will serve to reinforce higher interest rate volatility. The Fed’s balance sheet may grow close to $3.0 trillion in total assets early next year following continued quantitative easing and expected TALF usage. The Fed’s balance sheet is already close to twice the size of the entire commercial paper market with most of that asset expansion funded from banking reserve growth. The Fed does not want to maintain that level of bank reserves given its potential impact on inflation. The market impact on draining those reserves could create a much different interest rate environment in the cash and short-term market over the next year than the market currently expects. | ||
Looking ahead, we question how the fixed income market will react as the Fed begins to exit from its quantitative easing program and so much money has been made with spreads tightening so dramatically over the past several quarters. One lesson was strongly reinforced during the recent crisis: we should listen very closely to the message of the markets. And while the current market message is increasingly mixed as to the markets’ future direction, strong technicals continue to support continued performance in most segments of the fixed income market. This lack of clarity likely reflects a more complex market outcome than a single economic school of thought can encompass. The market recovery over the past six months has been nearly as swift as the Federal Reserve’s actions to prevent its descent. Volatility has been the constant during the recent market crisis and we believe volatility will remain the central theme until monetary policy is normalized. As always, we will remain steadfast in our goal of protecting shareholders’ principal while providing the necessary liquidity and income generation they deserve and expect. Thank you for your continued confidence and trust in the RBC Funds. | ||

The RBC Money Market Funds are not benchmarked to industry indices (such as the S&P 500), but their performance is evaluated against each Fund’s peer group as reported by Lipper. |
RBC Money Market Funds | |
In the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Prime, Institutional Prime and U.S. Government Money Market Funds provided yields that compared favorably with the average reported yields in their Lipper peer groups.
In this period, short-term interest rates shifted to much lower levels in response to aggressive monetary action taken by the Federal Reserve which reduced the benchmark Federal Funds rate from 2.00% to a 0.25% target level as of December, 2008. During this period there was volatility in the short-term credit markets and a material impairment of the free flow of credit. Inter-bank lending, the issuance of short-term debt and lending activity to banking customers deteriorated. To address these problems, the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury initiated a number of liquidity enhancement programs which extended beyond customary monetary policies. The cumulative impact of these measures led to a market correction of the clearing levels for all types of lending and in the level of liquidity that investors realized upon the sale of holdings. A number of those facilities have expired during the month of September, 2009.
During the past year, the Prime, U.S. Government, and Tax-Free funds each launched two institutional share classes which have led to growth in the balances of these funds. With consideration for the larger denominations of institutional fund participants, and acknowledging the current market environment, the team responsible for the Money Market Funds continued to closely monitor the markets, adjust issuer approved lists and investment practices and maintain a strategy whereby:
• A high percentage of assets were invested in securities that matured within 7 and 30 days.
• Only a select set of the highest quality issuers were approved for investment in a highly diversified manner. |
Taxable Money Funds | |
Over the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2009, the performance of the Tax-Free Money Market Fund and the Institutional Tax-Free Fund was comparable to the average reported yields of their respective Lipper peer groups.
During the past year, the Tax-Free fund launched two institutional share classes which have led to growth in the balances of that fund. Both Funds held a large percentage of assets that provided either daily or weekly demand features (in other words, securities with maturities of seven days or less) with a modest percentage of assets in highly rated notes with maturities of 180-397 days. As a result, the average maturities of the Fund fluctuated between 40-55 days, slightly longer as compared with those of their peer groups. |

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | ||
Investment Objective | Each of the RBC Money Market Funds was managed to preserve principal. This means that the share price of each fund held steady at $1.00. A consistent share price of $1.00 is expected for a money market mutual fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. These risks are more fully described in the prospectus. |

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Performance shown reflects contractual fee waivers, without such fee waivers total returns would be reduced. Performance information does not reflect the 2% fee on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. If such redemption fee was included, performance would be reduced.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY | ||
* The inception date for the RBC Institutional Class 2, RBC Select Class, RBC Reserve Class and RBC Investor Class is November 21, 2008. All performance shown for these classes of shares prior to their inception date is based on the performance, fees and expenses of RBC Institutional Class 1 shares of the Fund and its predecessors, and has not been adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of RBC Institutional Class 2, RBC Select Class, RBC Reserve Class, and RBC Investor Class shares. (1) As money market returns respond rapidly to market changes, such as in the Fed Funds rate, the 7-Day yield is a more accurate reflection of current earnings than the total return for the year. Prior year 7-Day yield information is provided for comparative purposes. (2) The Tamarack Institutional Prime and Institutional Tax-Free Money Market Funds are intended for shareholders investing $1 million or more. |

RBC Funds Trust (“the Trust”) (formerly known as Tamarack Funds Trust), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003. Predecessor funds to the Trust were reorganized as portfolios of the Trust effective April 16, 2004. This annual report includes the following five investment portfolios (“Funds”):
• | Prime Money Market Fund (“Prime Money Market Fund”) (formerly known as Tamarack Prime Money Market Fund) |
• | U.S. Government Money Market Fund (“U.S. Government Money Market Fund”) (formerly known as Tamarack U.S. Government Money Market Fund) |
• | Tax-Free Money Market Fund (“Tax-Free Money Market Fund”) (formerly known as Tamarack Tax-Free Money Market Fund) |
• | Tamarack Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (“Institutional Prime Money Market Fund”) |
• | Tamarack Institutional Tax-Free Money Market Fund (“Institutional Tax-Free Money Market Fund”) |
Prior to November 21, 2008, each Fund offered a single class of shares. Effective November 21, 2008, the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund offer five share classes: RBC Institutional Class 1, RBC Institutional Class 2, RBC Investor Class, RBC Reserve Class and RBC Select Class. The Institutional Prime Money Market Fund and Institutional Tax-Free Money Market Fund continue to offer only one class of shares. Effective January 28, 2009, the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund were renamed as noted above.
Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (“Voyageur”), which will be renamed RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. on or about December 31, 2009, acts as the investment adviser for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of Voyageur or its affiliates or PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNC”), the co-administrator.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Fund management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Security Valuation:
Securities held by the Funds are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value, in order to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. If amortized cost no longer approximates market value due to credit or other impairments of an issuer, the Fund will use pricing and valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to determine a security’s fair value. Investments in open-end companies are valued at net asset value.
Money market funds must invest exclusively in high quality securities. To be considered high quality, a security must be rated in one of the two highest short-term credit quality categories by a nationally recognized rating organization such as Standard & Poors Corporation or Moody’s Investors Service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value Measurements:
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:
• | Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
• | Level 2 - significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
• | Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ 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 summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:
Funds | Level 1 Quoted Prices |
Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs |
Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs |

(c) | The breakdown of the Fund’s investments by state classification is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. |
Investment Transactions and Income:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is bought or sold (“trade date”). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the costs of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis . The Funds amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities.
Financial Instruments:
The Funds may engage in when-issued transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain sufficient liquidity so that cash will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued daily beginning on trade date and begin earning interest on the settlement date. As of September 30, 2009, the Funds held no when-issued securities.
Repurchase Agreements:
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the 100 largest U.S. commercial banks (as measured by domestic deposits) who are deemed creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. These repurchase agreements are subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.
Securities pledged by the dealers as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. the Funds’ custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Funds have procedures to secure additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the market value of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or investment advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the proportion of relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gain distributions to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends will also be paid at any time during the month upon total redemption of shares in an account. Capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g. expiring capital loss carryforward), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment. Such differences are not reflected in the calculation of the Financial Highlights.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, reclassifications for permanent differences were as follows:

Credit Enhancement:
Certain obligations held in the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements; and third party insurance (i.e., AMBAC and MBIA).
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Trust has entered into investment advisory agreements with Voyageur under which Voyageur manages the Funds’ assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreements require the Funds to pay Voyageur a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Prior to November 21, 2008, (and for the entire period for Institutional Prime Money Market Fund and Institutional Tax Free Money Market Fund) under the terms of the advisory contract Voyageur was entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets as follows:

Services provided under the administrative services contract include providing day-to-day administration of matters related to the Funds, maintenance of their records and the preparation of reports. Under the terms of the administrative services contract, prior to November 21, 2008 Voyageur received a fee from Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective November 21, 2008, Voyageur no longer receives an administration services fee. PNC receives a fee for its services payable by the Funds based on the Fund’s average net assets. Fees previously paid to Voyageur are listed as “Administration fees” in the Statements of Operations. PNC’s fee is included with “Accounting fees” in the Statements of Operations.

6. Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Participating Fund for up to $1.00 per share for the lesser of either the number of shares the investor held in the Fund at the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the number of shares the investor held the date the per share value fell below $0.995. Shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 generally are not eligible for protection under the Program. The participation fee for the period September 19, 2008 to September 18, 2009 is included in federal insurance on the Statements of Operations. The fees to participate in the Program are borne by each Fund without regard to any expense limitation currently in effect for the Fund.
8. Capital Support Agreement:
On September 23, 2008, Prime Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market Funds each entered into a Capital Support Agreement (“Agreement”) with Voyageur to maintain each Fund’s net asset value at no less than $0.9950 or such greater amount as required by any national recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). These Agreements were terminated effective with the close of business on September 18, 2009. The Agreements required Voyageur to commit capital to the Funds, subject to the aggregate limit of $150 million and $50 million for the Prime Money Market Fund and Institutional Prime Money Market Fund respectively, if a Fund realized a loss on payments or sales proceeds from specified securities (“Eligible Notes”) held by the Funds which are less than the amortized cost of such securities and such loss caused the Fund’s mark-to-market net asset value to drop below $0.9950. The mark-to-market net asset value was calculated using the market value of all securities in the Prime Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market Funds. The net asset value in the financial statements was calculated using the amortized cost for all securities except the Eligible Notes. Upon the sale or other disposition of an Eligible Note, the amount of required capital commitment would be the least of the following amounts: (i) the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the Eligible Note exceeds the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of the security, (ii) the amount, if any, necessary to restore the net asset value per share of the Fund to $0.9950, or (iii) the remaining amount of the aggregate limit of the Agreement, taking into account all prior contributions. Voyageur’s obligations under the Agreement were supported by a Letter of Credit issued by Royal Bank of Canada, an indirect parent company of Voyageur, having a First Tier credit rating. The Funds would have drawn on the Letter of Credit in the event that Voyageur failed to make a cash contribution when due under the Agreement.
9. Subsequent Events:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through November 24, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
On October 16, 2009, the Board of Trustees approved a name change of the Tamarack Funds Trust to RBC Funds Trust. The ticker symbols will remain the same and cusip numbers will change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of RBC Funds Trust (formerly known as Tamarack Funds Trust)
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of RBC Prime Money Market Fund, RBC U.S. Government Money Market Fund, RBC Tax-Free Money Market Fund, RBC Institutional Prime Money Market Fund, and RBC Institutional Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the “Funds”), five of the portfolios constituting the RBC Funds Trust (formerly known as Tamarack Funds Trust) (the “Trust”), as of September 30, 2009, 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. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ 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 audits 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 Trusts’ 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 September 30, 2009, by correspondence with the Funds’ custodian and brokers. 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 each of the portfolios of the RBC Funds Trust referred to above as of September 30, 2009, the results of their operations 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 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; 12b-1 distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these 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 entire period from April 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses and Performance
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Ending Account Value 9/30/2009 |

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS-(UNAUDITED)
Information Regarding the Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements
In September, 2009, after evaluating the services provided by Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (the “Advisor”) and reviewing the performance, fees and expenses of the Funds, the RBC Funds’ Board of Trustees determined to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (“Agreements”) with the Advisor for each Fund for an additional year.
As part of their review of the Agreement, the Trustees requested and considered information regarding the advisory services performed by the Advisor, the staffing and qualifications of the Advisor’s personnel responsible for operating and managing the Funds, and the Funds’ performance and expenses. The review process was guided by the Board’s Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee. The Trustees considered information provided at regular quarterly Board and Committee meetings throughout the year, as well as a special meeting to review requested material related to the proposed renewals and a meeting held to specifically consider the proposed renewals.
The Trustees met with representatives from the Advisor’s senior management team, as well as the senior investment professionals responsible for managing the Funds, to discuss the information and the Advisor’s ongoing management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor, including information prepared by two separate independent third-party consultants as to each Fund’s performance relative to appropriate index benchmarks as well as fund peer group comparative information requested by the Board. The Trustees reviewed the investment advisory fees payable to the Advisor, and reviewed comparative fee and expense information for similarly situated funds (for both institutional and cash sweep cash management solutions). The Trustees also received reports from the Advisor regarding other investment companies it advised, including the advisory fees paid, as well as other advisory client accounts and their related fees. The Trustees evaluated profitability data for the Advisor, and considered information regarding other benefits the Advisor and its affiliates derived from its relationships with the Funds. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their own independent legal counsel with regard to the materials and their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.
During the year, the Funds’ fee and expense structure had been restructured, and certain fees of the Service Class shares had been waived in order to maintain a positive yield in the dramatically low interest rate environment. In addition, the Advisor proposed to continue for an additional year the existing fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements in order to limit operating expenses. Because of these factors, the Trustees reviewed performance data before and after fees and expenses and observed that performance was favorable relative to peer funds. In considering the quality of the services performed for each Fund by the Advisor, the Trustees recognized the research capabilities and fundamental analysis performed by the firm, the portfolio management experience of the Advisor’s staff, the compliance structure and systems and the financial strength of the Advisor and its parent organization. The Trustees recognized the excellent performance of the portfolio management team during the credit crisis during of the past year, which enabled the Funds to avoid the types of losses that affected other money funds. The Trustees also recognized and appreciated the strategic commitment that the Advisor and its parent organization were making to cash management products and the Funds.
Based upon their review, the Trustees determined that the advisory fees proposed to be payable to the Advisor were reasonable and fair in light of the nature and quality of services provided under all of the circumstances, and were within the range of what might have been negotiated at arms’ length. The Trustees concluded that it is in the interest of the Funds and their shareholders for the Trustees to approve the continuation of the Agreements and expense limitation arrangements for the Funds. In arriving at their decision to approve the renewal of the Agreements, the Trustees did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of itself.

Dear Shareholder:
The mission of the Access Capital Community Investment Fund is to provide returns to shareholders that include an economic bottom line and a community bottom line. The Fund invests in debt securities that support development activities serving low and moderate income individuals and communities in the United States. The Fund’s investments promote homeownership, affordable rental housing, education, community health centers and small businesses.
The Fund invests in securities that have the highest credit rating or that are issued by the U.S. Government, government agencies and government sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Fund is now in its twelfth year of operation. This report covers the fiscal year from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009, our first full year since the reorganization of the predecessor fund into Access Capital Community Investment Fund under the Tamarack Funds Trust.
Portfolio Management Report
For the year ended September 30, 2009, Class I shares of the Fund had a net total return of 9.59% based on the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) of $9.79 on September 30, up from $9.41 per share on September 30, 2008 and assuming reinvestment of ordinary income dividends of 50 cents per share.
The one-year net total return of 9.59% compares with a total return of 9.45% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Securitized Index, 10.56% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index and 8.69% for a blended benchmark of 80% of the Merrill Lynch 30-Year Mortgage Index and 20% of the Merrill Lynch 1-10 Year U.S. Treasury Index.
The one year period that ended on September 30, 2009 was remarkable for its ups and downs. At the outset the capital markets were reeling from unprecedented dislocations in the financial markets that caused the demise or radical transformation of many key firms in American and global finance. The U.S. Treasury, Congress and the Federal Reserve intervened in the markets in ways that would have been unimaginable in earlier times. These interventions took the form of profoundly low interest rates, massive government stimulus spending, direct purchase of equity in many financial services firms and direct purchases by the Fed of Treasury, Agency and Agency mortgage-backed securities. By the end of the period many sectors were more or less back to normal and it appeared that further damage had been forestalled.
Like all investments ours were impacted in multiple ways by the financial turmoil. Panicked investors purchased U.S. Treasuries and avoided most other sectors. While many of our investments carry Treasury and near-Treasury guarantees, we never invest in direct obligations of the Treasury (bills, bonds and notes) that are the vehicles of choice in a liquidity driven flight to quality. However the dramatic lowering of risk free interest rates, by the Federal Reserve at the short end and by increased investor demand across the curve, raised the relative value of the cash flows embedded in the investments we own. Our September 30, 2009 month end NAV of $9.79 was the highest month end price in more than four years and was significantly higher than the all time low of $9.21 on October 31, 2008.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
(b) | Class I commenced operations on July 28, 2008. The performance in the table reflects the performance of Access Capital Strategies Community Investment Fund, Inc., the predecessor to the Fund. From its inception, June 23, 1998, until May 30, 2006, the predecessor fund elected status as a business development company. From May 31, 2006 until July 27, 2008, the predecessor fund operated as a continuously offered closed-end interval management company. If the predecessor fund had operated as an open-end management company, performance may have been adversely affected. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower. |
(c) | You cannot invest directly into the index. |
* | The Fund’s expenses reflect the most recent year end (September 30, 2009). |

1. Organization
RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) (formerly known as Tamarack Funds Trust) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”). This annual report includes the Access Capital Community Investment Fund (the “Fund”). At its inception in 1998, the Access Capital Strategies Community Investment Fund, Inc. the Fund’s predecessor, elected status as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), but withdrew its election on May 30, 2006, and registered as a continuously offered, closed-end interval management company under the 1940 Act. The predecessor fund was reorganized into a series of the Trust, a registered open-end management company under the 1940 Act, effective July 28, 2008.
The Fund offers two share classes: Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered with a 3.75% maximum front-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class I shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.
Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (“Voyageur”or the “Advisor”), which will be renamed RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. on or about December 31, 2009, acts as the investment advisor for the Trust. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of Voyageur or its affiliates and PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNC”).
The Fund’s investment objective is to invest in geographically specific debt securities located in portions of the United States designated by Fund investors. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in debt securities specifically designed to support underlying economic activities such as affordable housing, education, small business lending, and job-creating activities in areas of the United States designated by Fund investors.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation:
Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Bonds and other fixed income securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. Valuations of mortgage backed securities that qualify under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) may also include adjustments to reflect the CRA premium indicated by the independent pricing agent to reflect the higher valuations accorded these securities in the market for their geographically or other targeted nature. Short-term debt obligations, with less than 60 days to maturity at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost unless Fund Management determines that amortized cost no longer approximates market value. In such cases where a security price is unavailable, or where Fund Management determines that the value provided by the pricing services or amortized cost does not approximate fair value, the Board has approved pricing and valuation procedures to determine a security’s fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Exchange traded financial futures are valued at the settlement price as established by the exchange on which they are traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Instruments:
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
To obtain short-term financing, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the 100 largest U.S. commercial banks, who are deemed creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish and maintain a segregated account with the custodian containing qualifying assets having a value, including accrued interest, not less than the repurchase price. Based on requirements with certain exchanges and third party brokers-dealers, the Fund may also be required to deliver or deposit securities or cash as collateral. If the counterparty to the transaction is rendered insolvent, the ultimate realization of the securities to be repurchased by the Fund may be delayed or limited. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the average amount borrowed was approximately $136,943,753 and the daily weighted average interest rate was 1.30%.

Derivatives
The Fund may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities for hedging purposes only. Derivatives allow the Fund to increase or decrease its risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Losses may arise if the price of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Fund. For over-the-counter purchased options, the Fund bears the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Written options by the
43
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Fund to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Fund, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below.

Financial Futures Contracts
The Fund may enter into futures contracts in an effort to manage the duration of the portfolio or to hedge against market risk. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating one party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, during the term of the contract, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require a Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if a Fund had not entered into any futures transactions.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying index. A Fund would record an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to these daily payments.
Financial futures contracts involve minimal counterparty risk since financial futures contracts are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. The financial futures contracts listed below are indicative of activity for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Options
The Fund may write (or sell) put and call options on the securities that the Fund is authorized to buy or already holds in its portfolio. A Fund may also purchase put and call options. A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the agreed-upon exercise (or “strike”) price during the option period. A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying security at the strike price during the option period. Purchasers of options pay an amount, known as a premium, to the option writer in exchange for the right under the option contract.
Swaptions
Swap options (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option (interest rate risk). In purchasing and writing swaptions, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying interest rate swap or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. The Fund executes transactions in over-the-counter swaptions. Transactions in over-the-counter swaptions may expose the Fund to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized loss of the contract (as writer). The call swaptions purchased listed on the schedule of portfolio investments that are outsanding as of year end are the only activity for the year ended September 30, 2009.
TBA Commitments
The Fund may enter into to be announced (“TBA”) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased/sold declines/increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation”.
Mortgage Backed Securities
Because the Fund will focus on community development investments, such as securities backed by commercial and/or residential mortgage loans, it will be affected by risks not typically associated with funds that do not specialize in community development investments. These risks include credit and prepayment risk due to default on underlying loans within a security. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults or assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.
45
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition, the Fund invests in certain mortgage backed securities that qualify under the CRA in which it may pay a premium for the geographically or other targeted nature of the securities. There can be no guarantee, however, that a similar premium will be received if the security is sold by the Fund.
Credit Enhancement
Certain obligations held in the Fund have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements; and third party insurance (i.e., AMBAC and MBIA).
Fair Value Measurements:
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:
• | Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
• | Level 2 - significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, 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 summary of inputs used to determine the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:

Investment Transactions and Income:
Investment transactions are recorded one business day after trade date, except for on the last day of each fiscal quarter end, when they are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the costs of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the
46
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization and accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are included in the financial statements as interest income.
Distributions to Shareholders:
The Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends will also be paid at any time during the month upon total redemption of shares in an account. Capital gain distributions are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., reclassification of paydown gains and losses, and expiring capital loss carryforward), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital account based on their federal tax basis treatment. Such differences are not reflected in the calculation of the Financial Highlights.
For the period ended September 30, 2009, permanent difference reclassification amounts were as follows:

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Voyageur serves as investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor has agreed to waive or limit fees through January 31, 2010, to maintain expenses (excluding interest expense, management fees and distribution fees) at 0.20% of the Fund’s average monthly gross assets less liabilities, other than indebtness for borrowing. The Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by the Advisor, any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay the Advisor such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation disclosed in the effective prospectus. During the year ended September 30, 2009, no reimbursements were made to the Advisor.
Under the terms of the Fund’s management agreement, the Advisor receives from the Fund an annual management fee, paid monthly, of 50 basis points (0.50%) of the Fund’s average daily total assets less liabilities, other than indebtedness for borrowing. For purposes of calculating the management fee, assets purchased with borrowed monies are included in the total that is subject to the management fee. As a result, the Advisor has an incentive to use leverage so as to increase the amount of assets upon which it may charge a fee. As of September 30, 2009, the impact of leverage raised the management fee to approximately 63 basis points (0.63%) of the Fund’s average net assets.
The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $20,000. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,000 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
The Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or adviser fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated to the Fund either proportionately based upon the Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within the Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees. Within the Fund,
47
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the proportion of relative net assets.
4. Fund Distribution:
The Fund has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Tamarack Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s distributor. The Distributor is an affiliate of Voyageur. The Plan permits the Fund to make payments for, or to reimburse the Distributor monthly for, distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of Class A covered under the Plan, and/or for providing shareholder services. The Plan does not apply to Class I. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for Class A.
Class A | |||
12b-1 Plan Fee |
0.25 | %* |
* | The maximum Plan fee rate for Class A shares is 0.50%. The Distributor is currently waiving 0.25% of the 0.50% Plan fee for Class A. |
Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of Class A. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive the Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor waived $8,067 of Plan fees.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Distributor received commissions of $48,114 from front-end sales charges of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor received no CDSC fees from the Fund during the same period.
5. Securities Transactions:
The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Access Capital Community Investment Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of Access Capital Community Investment Fund (the “Fund”), one of the portfolios constituting the RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) (formerly known as Tamarack Funds Trust) as of September 30, 2009, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2009, the period June 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and for the year ended May 31, 2008. We have also audited the financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2009, the period June 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and for each of the four years in the four year period ended May 31, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund 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 Fund’s 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 September 30, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 Access Capital Community Investment Fund, as of September 30, 2009, and the results of its operations, its cash flows, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

SHARE CLASS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The Access Capital Community Investment Fund offers Class A and Class I shares.
Class A
Class A shares are available for purchase primarily through investment advisors, broker-dealers, banks and other financial services intermediaries. Class A shares of the Fund are currently subject to a maximum up-front sales charge of 3.75% and a 1.00% CDSC for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase. Class A shares currently include a 0.25% annual 12b-1 service and distribution fee. (The 12b-1 Plan allows for 0.50%, but the Funds’ Distributor is currently voluntarily waiving 0.25%. The Distributor currently has no plans to discontinue this waiver.)
Class I
Class I shares are intended for investors meeting certain minimum investment thresholds. This share class does not have an up-front sales charge (load) or a 12b-1 service and distribution fee.
57
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Access Capital Community Investment Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees 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 these 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 entire period from April 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 4/1/09 |
Ending Account Value 9/30/09 |
Expenses Paid During Period* 4/1/09-9/30/09 |
Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 4/1/09-9/30/09 |
|||||||||
Class A |
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,046.00 | $ | 5.64 | 1.10 | % | ||||
Class I |
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,047.40 | $ | 4.41 | 0.86 | % |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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.
Beginning Account Value 4/1/09 |
Ending Account Value 9/30/09 |
Expenses Paid During Period* 4/1/09-9/30/09 |
Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 4/1/09-9/30/09 |
|||||||||
Class A |
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,019.55 | $ | 5.57 | 1.10 | % | ||||
Class I |
$ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,020.76 | $ | 4.36 | 0.86 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period). |

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)
Information Regarding the Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
In September, 2009, after evaluating the services provided by the Advisor and reviewing the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund, the RBC Funds’ Board of Trustees determined to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (“Agreement”) with Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (the “Advisor”) for the Fund for an additional year.
As part of their review of the Agreement, the Trustees requested and considered information regarding the advisory services performed by the Advisor, the staffing and qualifications of the Advisor’s personnel responsible for operating and managing the Fund, and the Fund’s performance and expenses. The review process was guided by the Board’s Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee. The Trustees considered information provided at regular quarterly Board and Committee meetings throughout the year, as well as a special meeting to review requested material related to the proposed renewals and a meeting held to specifically consider the proposed renewals.
The Trustees met with representatives from the Advisor’s senior management team, as well as the senior investment professionals responsible for managing the Fund, to discuss the information and the Advisor’s ongoing management of the Fund.
The Trustees reviewed the quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor, including information prepared by an independent third-party consultant as to the Fund’s performance relative to appropriate index benchmarks as well as fund peer group comparative information requested by the Board. The Trustees reviewed the investment advisory fees payable to the Advisor, and reviewed comparative fee and expense information for similarly situated funds prepared by the consultant. The Trustees also received reports from the Advisor regarding other investment companies it advised, including the advisory fees paid, as well as other advisory client accounts and their related fees. The Trustees evaluated profitability data for the Advisor, and considered information regarding other benefits the Advisor and its affiliates derived from its relationships with the Fund. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their own independent legal counsel with regard to the materials and their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.
With regard to Fund performance, the Trustees recognized that the Fund was ranked in the top quintile for the one, three and five year trailing periods. The Fund’s advisory fees and overall expense levels were higher than its peers, but the Trustees recognized that the Fund’s use of leverage contributed to its higher relative expenses.
In considering the quality of services to be provided by the Advisor, the Trustees discussed the research, credit and fundamental analysis capabilities, the specialized expertise in the area of fixed income investments eligible for regulatory credit under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and the portfolio management experience of the Advisor’s staff, as well as its operational and compliance structure and systems and financial strength. The Trustees also considered steps that had been taken by the Advisor to expand upon existing research capabilities and compliance processes and its implementation of strategic initiatives geared toward the success of the Fund.
Based upon their review, the Trustees determined that the advisory fees proposed to be payable to the Advisor were fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided under all of the circumstances, and were within the range of what might have been negotiated at arms’ length. The Trustees concluded that it is in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders for the Trustees to approve the continuation of the Agreement for the Fund. In arriving at their decision to approve the renewal of the Agreement, the Trustees did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of itself.

Pre-approval by the Committee of non-audit services is not required so long as:

(2) such services were not recognized by the Funds at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and
