Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
The total return of Federated Short-Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust (the “Fund”), based on net asset value for the 12-month reporting period ended June 30, 2018, was 1.10% for the Institutional Shares, 0.95% for the Service Shares and 0.60% for the Class A Shares. The 1.10% total return for the Institutional Shares for the reporting period consisted of 1.59% of AMT-free, tax-exempt dividends and -0.49% of depreciation in the net asset value of the shares.1 The total return of the S&P Municipal Bond 0-7 Years, Investment-Grade, Non-AMT, 5% Prerefunded Index (SPMB7),2,3 a custom benchmark for the Fund, was 0.47% while the total return of the S&P 1-5 Year National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index (SPNAFMB)4 was 0.56% during the same period. The total return of the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Average (LSMDF),5 a peer group average for the Fund, was 0.69% over the reporting period. The Fund's and the LSMDF's total returns for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of any index.
During the reporting period, the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the SPMB7 were: (a) the effective duration of its portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates);6,7 (b) the allocation of the portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as sectors); and (c) the credit rating of portfolio securities (credit quality).8
MARKET OVERVIEW
During the reporting period, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields increased from a low of 2.04% in September 2017 to a high of 3.11% in May 2018 and ended the period at 2.86%. Economic activity in the U.S. continued to expand at a moderate, but now accelerating, pace.
Accommodative financial conditions, the recently enacted U.S. tax legislation and an improved global economic outlook, supported economic growth over the reporting period. Inflation showed signs of picking up during the reporting period; however, it continued to run below the 2% target inflation rate of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). This partly reflected the impact of the dollar's strength on non-energy imports. The Fed's decision to raise the federal funds' target rate (FFTR) by 0.25% three times during the reporting period was mostly anticipated by the markets. In determining the size and timing of changes in the FFTR, changes in the Federal Open Market Committee's indicators of maximum employment and a 2% inflation target are essential. The Fed reaffirmed that adjustments to the policy path would depend on assessments of how the economic outlook and risks to the outlook were evolving. The labor market continued to strengthen during the reporting period as economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Job gains remained strong and the

unemployment rate reached new lows during the reporting period. Measures of consumer and business sentiment also improved during the reporting period. Considerable uncertainty remained regarding the prospects for changes in government policies as well as the timing and magnitude of the net effect of such changes on economic activity. Health care reform, tax reform, changes in financial regulations, and trade and tariff negotiations were among the important policy decisions that had significant impacts on the financial markets during the reporting period.
The U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most advanced economies during the reporting period amid concerns about growth in those countries as well as announcements by several central banks regarding monetary policy actions. Also, during the reporting period it was anticipated that the European and Japanese Central Banks would make changes to their asset purchase programs.
Major U.S. tax reform during the reporting period occurred through the passage of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2018 (“Tax Reform Act”), which reduced both corporate and individual tax rates. The top tax rate for individuals declined from 39.6% to 37% and the legislation either eliminated, modified or limited numerous deductions. The municipal bond market was spared many of the potentially negative tax law changes that were proposed, such as the limitation on the tax exemption for municipal bond interest. As a result, the impact of the Tax Reform Act's implementation on the municipal bond market has not been significant. The supply of municipal debt has been to some degree reduced during the reporting period as a result of the elimination of advanced refundings by municipal issuers. Also, the modestly lower corporate tax rate is expected over time to reduce corporations' demand for holding municipal debt.
State and local government payrolls increased somewhat during the reporting period while nominal construction spending by these governments declined, reflecting a reticence to take on additional debt. The spread between “AAA”-rated and “BBB”-rated general obligation debt narrowed at different maturities along the yield curve during the reporting period. Credit quality continued to be generally stable. However, fiscal distress continued to be a focal point for states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois during the reporting period. The municipal bond market's technical (supply and demand) position was mostly favorable over the reporting period. The issuance of municipal debt increased near the end of 2017 in anticipation of the impacts of federal tax reform on the market and the issuers of municipal debt. The issuance declined significantly beginning in 2018 compared to previous periods, as the ability to advance refund existing debt became disallowed. Flows from investors into short, intermediate, long and high-yield municipal bonds were mostly positive and broad-based for a significant portion of the reporting period. The intermittent flight-to-quality by investors as a result of the unstable global political and economic environment also favored municipal bonds as they were viewed as a safer alternative investment.

During the reporting period, Chicago and the state of Illinois continued to struggle to come to political terms over a solution for underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued throughout the reporting period. Some state and local governments turned to the courts for assistance in lowering their onerous pension liabilities, but responses from the courts were generally not favorable. Any workouts of these concerns are likely to take many years, which will continue to constrain state and local government budgets and limit their capacity to deal with severe infrastructure needs. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny during the reporting period.
DURATION
The Fund's dollar-weighted average modified duration at the end of the reporting period was 1.37 years. Duration management and the positioning of the bond maturities held along the short-intermediate portion of the municipal yield curve continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. Reflecting the expected increases of the FFTR over the period and the movement to higher short-term municipal interest rates, the Fund's duration generally ranged from 1.33 years to 1.77 years over the period. The Fund's average duration over the reporting period was about 1.58 years and considerably shorter than that of the SPMB7, which was 2.88 years at the end of the reporting period.
The municipal short-intermediate yield curve, ranging from weekly variable-rate demand notes (VRDNs) to seven years in maturity, shifted upward about 60 to 70 basis points over the reporting period mostly in parallel fashion due to the Fed's actions over the period as rate normalization continued in conjunction with favorable economic growth, inflation and employment.
Also, the pro-growth tax and regulatory policies of the Trump administration were material factors influencing the mindset of the market and the path of interest rates during the reporting period. Because of this parallel shift upward in short-intermediate yields, bonds with progressively shorter maturities/durations performed better than those with longer maturities/durations.
As a result, floating-rate notes (FRNs), whose coupons are tied to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) 7-Day Index plus a spread, VRDNs and bonds from 1-2 years outperformed bonds with incremental longer maturities/durations within this 0-7 year short-intermediate maturity band.
With yields rising, management allocated over 66% of the Fund's assets to durations of less than 2 years utilizing FRNs, VRDNs and short-maturity bonds. The Fund was consistently underweight within the SPMB7 duration allocations along the yield curve from 2-6 years. These decisions positively impacted the Fund's performance during the reporting period relative to the SPMB7.

With the three Fed tightenings and bond interest rates moving upward over the reporting period, the Fund's 25% to 30% allocation to FRNs and 5% to 10% allocation to core VRDNs with coupons that reset weekly significantly benefited from the 70 basis point rise in the base SIFMA 7-Day Index (weekly reset). Over 35% of the Fund benefited from this increase in tax-exempt coupons for these instruments, and this positively impacted both the income and price performance for the FRNs and the income on VRDNs and commercial paper rolls. These security selection and yield curve decisions positively impacted Fund total return performance relative to the SPMB7.
SECTOR ALLOCATION
During the reporting period, the Fund's municipal sector allocations had a neutral and offsetting effect on excess return.
The Fund maintained higher percentage portfolio allocation, relative to the SPMB7, to securities of hospitals and senior care bonds. These allocations helped the Fund's performance due to the outperformance of these sectors relative to the SPMB7. The Fund also had an underweight position, relative to the SPMB7, in state and local general obligation debt, and this helped Fund performance as this sector continued to underperform within the SPMB7. Also, the security selection decision within this sector for the Fund did help relative performance as well.
The Fund's overweight position to transportation bonds and bonds within industrial development and pollution control revenue sector (corporate obligors and investor-owned electric and gas utilities) contributed negative excess return relative to SPMB7 as these sectors underperformed within the Fund.
The Fund was underweight pre-refunded bonds (which are bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account) and, since this sector was an underperformer within the SPMB7, this positively affected Fund performance.
The Fund's holdings of Illinois, New Jersey and Connecticut state-related debt increased in price as several positive political and economic events occurred near the end of the reporting period and provided a positive contribution to relative performance.

CREDIT QUALITY
During the reporting period, investor appetite for yield in the low interest rate environment increased municipal bond fund inflows and resulted in outperformance of bonds rated “A” and “BBB” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the higher rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality). Bonds in the noninvestment-grade9 category, below “BBB,” also outperformed the higher rating categories. With the decrease in credit spreads during the reporting period, and to a lesser extent for “AAA”-rated and “AA”-rated (or unrated comparable quality) debt, the Fund's overweight position, relative to the SPMB7, in “A”-rated and “BBB”-rated (or unrated comparable quality) debt had a large and positive excess return impact on the Fund's performance, as the yield on “A”-rated and “BBB”-rated (or unrated comparable quality) debt decreased to a greater extent than for higher investment-grade securities.
1 Income may be subject to state and local taxes. The investment adviser normally will invest the Fund's assets entirely in securities whose interest is not subject to the AMT for individuals, such that, normally, distributions of annual interest income are exempt from the AMT (in addition to the federal regular income tax). However, in certain circumstances (such as, for example, when there is a lack of supply of non-AMT securities or there are advantageous market conditions), to pursue the Fund's investment objective, the Fund's adviser may invest the Fund's assets in securities that may be subject to the AMT. In such circumstances, interest from the Fund's investments may be subject to the AMT.

3 The total return for the S&P Municipal Bond Short Intermediate Index (SPMBSII), the Fund's broad-based securities market index, was 0.41% during the same period. Please also see the footnotes to the line graphs below for definitions of, and further information about, the SPMBSII.

6 Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
7 Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management's Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.
8 Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

9 Investment-grade securities are securities that are rated at least “BBB” or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Noninvestment-grade securities are securities that are not rated at least “BBB” or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Investment-grade securities and noninvestment-grade securities may either be: (a) rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or rating agency; or (b) unrated securities that the Fund's investment adviser (“Adviser”) believes are of comparable quality. The rating agencies that provided the ratings for rated securities include Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Rating Service. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of “AA” or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of “A” are considered high or medium/good quality; and credit ratings of “BBB” are considered to be medium/good credit quality and the lowest category of investment-grade securities; credit ratings of “BB” and below are lower-rated, noninvestment-grade securities or junk bonds; and credit ratings of “CCC” or below are noninvestment-grade securities that have high default risk. Any credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the Fund. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: For Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 1.00% ($10,000 investment minus $100 sales charge = $9,900). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The SPMBSII, SPMB7, SPNAFMB and the LSMDF have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and the average.
2 The SPMBSII consists of bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond Index with a minimum maturity of one year and a maximum maturity of eight years. The S&P Municipal Bond Index is designed to track fixed-rate tax-free bonds and bonds subject to the AMT. The S&P Municipal Bond Index includes bonds of all qualityfrom “AAA” to non-rated, including defaulted bondsand from all sectors of the municipal bond market. The SPMBSII is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. Unlike the Fund, the SPMBSII is unmanaged and is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
3 The SPMB7 represents the portion of the S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Index composed solely of investment-grade bonds (those with ratings higher than “BBB-”/“Baa3”) with remaining maturities of between zero and seven years that are not subject to AMT, 5% of which are pre-refunded. The SPMB7 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The SPMB7 is unmanaged, and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
4 The LSMDF represents the average of the total returns reported by all the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling in the category indicated, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a fund's performance.

5 The SPNAFMB is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the investment-grade tax-exempt U.S. municipal bond market with an effective maturity of 1 to 5 years. Bonds issued by U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, are excluded from this index. The SPNAFMB is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The SPNAFMB is unmanaged, and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
6 Because the SPNAFMB does not yet have 10 years of published performance information, it does not have average annual total returns for the 10-year period.

1 Current rate and current maturity or next reset date shown for floating rate notes and variable rate notes/demand instruments. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their description above.
2 Denotes a restricted security that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or availing of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) is subject to a contractual restriction on public sales. At June 30, 2018, these restricted securities amounted to $5,005,310, which represented 0.6% of total net assets.
3 The cost of investments for federal tax purposes amounts to $875,596,710.
4 Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities. See Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Note: The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets at June 30, 2018.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.
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 an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of June 30, 2018, all investments of the Fund utilized Level 2 inputs in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
1. ORGANIZATION
Federated Short-Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Service Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide dividend income which is exempt from federal regular income tax. The Fund pursues this investment objective by investing its assets so that normally distributions of annual interest income are exempt from federal regular income tax. Also, distributions normally (except in certain circumstances described in the Fund's Prospectus) will not be subject to the federal AMT for individuals, but may be subject to state and local taxes.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Investment Valuation
In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:
■  Fixed-income securities are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■  Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■  Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price, except that options are valued at the mean of closing bid and asked quotations.
■  Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■  For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the last traded or purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer or dealers, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded, public trading in similar securities or derivative contracts of the issuer or comparable issuers, movement of a relevant index, or other factors including but not limited to industry changes and relevant government actions.
If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, if the Fund cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, or if information furnished by a pricing service, in the opinion of the valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), is deemed not representative of the fair value of such security, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it sold the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.

Fair Valuation Procedures
The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to assist in determining fair value and in overseeing the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs, methods, models and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.
Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for any U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for any other types of fixed-income securities and any OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Amortization/accretion of premium and discount is included in investment income. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that select classes will bear certain expenses unique to those classes. The detail of the total fund expense waivers, reimbursement and reduction of $2,097,636 is disclosed in various locations in this Note 2, Note 5 and Note 6.
Annual Shareholder Report
40

Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
Other Service Fees
The Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Service Shares to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for other service fees. For the year ended June 30, 2018, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

Institutional Shares 1,094,958 (1,094,958)
Service Shares 57,803
TOTAL $ 1,658,502 $(1,094,958)
Federal Taxes
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended June 30, 2018, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2018, tax years 2015 through 2018 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities
The Fund may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities, like other securities, are priced in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Additional information on restricted securities held at June 30, 2018, is as follows:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated. The Fund applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities and expiration of capital loss carryforwards.
For the year ended June 30, 2018, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)
$(2,870,784) $2,890,109 $(19,325)
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by the reclassification.
The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, was as follows:
  2018 2017
Tax-exempt income $14,633,280 $ 14,520,862
Annual Shareholder Report
43

As of June 30, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income $14,712
Net unrealized appreciation $1,990,675
Capital loss carryforwards $(4,916,533)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.
At June 30, 2018, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $875,596,710. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,990,675. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $5,022,706 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $3,032,031.
At June 30, 2018, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $4,916,533 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.
The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:
Expiration Year Short-Term Long-Term Total
No expiration $1,948,817 $2,400,930 $4,349,747
2019 $566,786 NA $566,786
Capital loss carryforwards of $2,870,784 expired during the year ended June 30, 2018.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser Fee
The advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is subject to annual review by the Trustees, the Adviser will reimburse the amount, limited to the amount of the advisory fee, by which the Fund's Institutional Shares aggregate annual operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund and its shares under federal and state laws and regulations, expenses of withholding taxes and extraordinary expenses, exceed 0.45% of the Fund's Institutional Shares average daily net assets. To comply with the 0.45% limitation imposed under the investment advisory contract, the Adviser may waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse its advisory fee or other Fund expenses, affiliates of the Adviser may waive, reimburse or reduce amounts otherwise included in the aggregate annual operating expenses of the Fund, or there may be a combination of waivers,
Annual Shareholder Report

reimbursements and/or reductions by the Adviser and its affiliates. The amount that the Adviser waives/reimburses under the investment advisory contract will be reduced to the extent that affiliates of the Adviser waive, reimburse or reduce amounts that would otherwise be included in the aggregate annual operating expenses of the Fund. In addition, subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may also voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the Adviser waived $942,508 of its fee.
Administrative Fee
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. For purposes of determining the appropriate rate breakpoint, “Investment Complex” is defined as all of the Federated Funds subject to a fee under the Administrative Services Agreement.

Administrative Fee Average Daily Net Assets
of the Investment Complex
0.100% on assets up to $50 billion
0.075% on assets over $50 billion
Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.080% of average daily net assets of the Fund.
Prior to September 1, 2017, the breakpoints of the Administrative Fee paid to FAS, described above, were:
Administrative Fee Average Daily Net Assets
of the Investment Complex

0.100% on the next $10 billion
0.075% on assets in excess of $20 billion
In addition, FAS may charge certain out-of-pocket expenses to the Fund.
Distribution Services Fee
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Service Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:
Share Class Name Percentage of Average
Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares 0.25%
Service Shares 0.25%
Annual Shareholder Report

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended June 30, 2018, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:
  Distribution
Services Fees
Incurred
Distribution
Services Fees
Waived
Class A Shares $ 506,313 $

Sales Charges
Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable.
Other Service Fee
For the year ended June 30, 2018, FSSC received $606 and reimbursed $1,094,958 of the other service fees disclosed in Note 2.
Expense Limitation
In addition to the contractual fee waiver described under “Investment Adviser Fee” above with regards to the Fund's Institutional Shares, the Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding interest expense and extraordinary expenses, if any) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Service Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.97%, 0.47% and 0.71% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) September 1, 2019; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its applicable affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.
Interfund Transactions
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $262,505,000 and $241,080,000, respectively.

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Fund. These expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses may be included in Accrued and Miscellaneous Expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, respectively.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTION
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, net credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce custody expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the Fund's expenses were reduced by $941 under these arrangements.
7. Investment TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended June 30, 2018, were as follows:

8. LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with certain other Federated Funds, on a several basis, in an up to $500,000,000 unsecured, 364-day, committed, revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement. The LOC was made available to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund, failed trades, payment of dividends, settlement of trades and for other short-term, temporary or emergency general business purposes. The Fund cannot borrow under the LOC if an inter-fund loan is outstanding. The Fund's ability to borrow under the LOC also is subject to the limitations of the Act and various conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the Fund can borrow. Loans under the LOC are charged interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest, on any day, of (a) (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and (iii) 0.0%, plus (b) a margin. The LOC also requires the Fund to pay, quarterly in arrears and at maturity, its pro rata share of a commitment fee based on the amount of the lenders' commitment that has not been utilized. As of June 30, 2018, the Fund had no outstanding loans. During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.
9. INTERFUND LENDING

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF Federated Short-Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Federated Short-Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2018, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at June 30, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Annual Shareholder Report
48

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Federated investment companies since 1979.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or other service fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred 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 first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second section of 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. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Annual Shareholder Report

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory ContractMay 2018
Federated Short-Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust (the “Fund”)
At its meetings in May 2018, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment after considering all of the information received on whether to continue the existing arrangements.
The Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties included specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a fund advised by Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) or its affiliates (collectively, “Federated”) (each, a “Federated fund”). The Senior Officer's responsibilities included preparing and furnishing to the Board an annual independent written evaluation that covered topics discussed below. In December 2017, the Senior Officer position was eliminated. Notwithstanding the elimination of the Senior Officer position, at the request of the Independent Trustees, the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer (the CCO) furnished to the Board in advance of its May 2018 meetings an independent written evaluation covering substantially the same topics that had been covered in the Senior Officer's written evaluation in prior years. The Board considered the CCO's independent written evaluation (the “CCO Fee Evaluation Report”), along with other information, in evaluating the reasonableness of the Fund's management fee and in deciding to approve the continuation of the investment advisory contract. Consistent with the former Senior Officer position, the CCO, in preparing the CCO Fee Evaluation Report, has the authority to retain consultants, experts or staff as reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and can be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the Independent Trustees.
The Board also considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees in making its decision. Using these judicial decisions as a guide, the Board observed that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided by an adviser to a fund and its shareholders (including the performance of the fund, its benchmark, and comparable funds); (2) an adviser's cost of providing the services (including the profitability to an adviser of providing advisory services to a fund); (3) the extent to which an adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies of scale exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; (4) any “fall-out” financial benefits
Annual Shareholder Report
58

that accrue to an adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of an adviser for services rendered to a fund); (5) comparative fee and expense structures (including a comparison of fees paid to an adviser with those paid by similar funds both internally and externally as well as management fees charged to institutional and other advisory clients of the Adviser or its affiliates for what might be viewed as like services); and (6) the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the fund's board members perform their duties and their expertise (including whether they are fully informed about all facts the board deems relevant to its consideration of an adviser's services and fees). The Board noted that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract generally align with the factors listed above. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's investment advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
The Board considered and weighed these factors in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their deliberations by independent legal counsel.
In addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the CCO Fee Evaluation Report, the Board received detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings at which the Board's formal approval of the advisory and subadvisory contracts occurred. In this regard, Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional information specifically in connection with the May meetings. In the months preceding the May meetings, the Board requested and reviewed written materials prepared by Federated in response to requests on behalf of the Independent Trustees encompassing a wide variety of topics. At the May meetings, in addition to meeting in separate sessions of the Independent Trustees without management present, senior management of the Adviser also met with the Independent Trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and such additional matters as the Independent Trustees deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the advisory and subadvisory contracts. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose.
The Board's consideration of the investment advisory contract included review of the CCO Fee Evaluation Report, accompanying data and additional information covering the following matters, among others: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short-term and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in terms relative to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer
Annual Shareholder Report
59

group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate) and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses, including the advisory fee and the overall expense structure of the Fund (both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds), with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations; the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial and other risks assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the Fund; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are generally available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.
While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving too much weight to comparative information concerning fees charged by other advisers for managing funds with comparable investment programs, the Board has found the use of such comparisons to be relevant to its deliberations. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates, total expense ratios and each element of the Fund's total expense ratio (i.e., gross and net advisory fees, custody fees, portfolio accounting fees and transfer agency fees) relative to an appropriate group of peer funds compiled by Federated using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations (the “Peer Group”). The Board received a description of the composition and methodology used to select the Peer Group. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, in that they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. Also, they are the type of investment vehicle, in fact, chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses, therefore, appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the marketplace in which the Fund competes.
Annual Shareholder Report
60

The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, net advisory fee rate and other expenses of the Fund and noted the position of the Fund's fee rates relative to its Peer Group. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was above the median of the relevant Peer Group, but the Board noted the applicable waivers and reimbursements, and that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive in the context of other factors considered by the Board.
For comparison, the CCO reviewed the fees charged by Federated for providing advisory services to products other than the Federated funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and third-party unaffiliated mutual funds for which Federated serves as sub-adviser) (referenced to as “Comparable Funds/Accounts”). With respect to Comparable Funds/Accounts other than third-party mutual funds, the CCO concluded that they are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; different applicable laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, as well as personnel in the Funds Financial Services, Legal, Compliance and Risk Management departments, in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The CCO also reviewed the differences in the nature of the services required for Federated to manage its proprietary mutual fund business versus managing a discrete pool of assets as a sub-adviser to another institution's mutual fund, and that Federated generally performs significant additional services and assumes substantially greater risk in managing the Fund and other Federated funds than in its role as sub-adviser to an unaffiliated third-party mutual fund. The CCO did not consider the fees for providing advisory services to Comparable Funds/Accounts to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of the Federated funds' advisory fees.
Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the fees and expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the resources of the Adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, the Adviser's personnel, experience, track record, overall reputation and willingness to invest in personnel and infrastructure that benefit the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the Adviser's ability and experience in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to service the Fund. The Board noted the compliance program of the Adviser and the compliance-related resources provided to the Fund by the Adviser, including the Adviser's commitment to
Annual Shareholder Report
61

respond to rulemaking initiatives of the SEC. The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its Peer Group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program. The Adviser's ability to execute this program was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's investment management services warrant the continuation of the investment advisory contract.
In evaluating the Fund's investment performance, the Board considered performance results in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks, as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus. The Board considered detailed investment reports on the Fund's performance that were provided to the Board throughout the year and in connection with the May meetings. The CCO also reviewed information regarding the performance of other mutual funds in the Peer Group, noting the CCO's view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in evaluating the performance of the Adviser in managing the Fund. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within a Peer Group.
For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the CCO Fee Evaluation Report, the Fund's performance was above the median of the relevant Peer Group.
Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.
The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and ancillary (or “fall-out”) benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the investment advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator and distributor). In this regard, the Board considered that certain Federated subsidiaries provide distribution and shareholder services to the Federated funds, for which they may be compensated through distribution and servicing fees paid pursuant to Rule 12b-1 plans or otherwise. The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a Federated fund to be competitive in the marketplace, the Adviser and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to Federated fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future. Moreover,
Annual Shareholder Report
62

the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. The Board considered Federated's previous reductions in contractual management fees to certain Federated funds in response to the CCO's recommendations.
Federated furnished information, requested by the CCO, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the CCO. The CCO noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs continues to cause the CCO to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single change in an allocation estimate may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a Federated fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the CCO's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the evaluation by the Board.
The Board and the CCO also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing its profitability information to other publicly held fund management companies, including information regarding profitability trends over time. In this regard, the CCO concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive. The CCO also noted that Federated appeared financially sound, with the resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with the Fund.
The CCO Fee Evaluation Report also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions, as well as systems technology (including technology relating to cybersecurity) and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies of scale, should they exist) were likely to be shared with the Federated fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Adviser's investments in these areas are extensive. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser and its affiliates have frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and that this has allowed fund shareholders to share potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that such waivers and reimbursements can provide protection from an increase in expenses if a Federated fund's assets decline. Federated, as it does throughout the year, and specifically in connection with the Board's review of the advisory and subadvisory contracts, furnished information relative to revenue sharing or adviser-paid fees. Federated and the CCO noted that this information should be viewed to determine if there was an incentive to either not apply breakpoints, or to apply breakpoints at higher levels, and should not be viewed to determine the appropriateness of advisory fees because it would represent marketing and distribution expenses. The Board also noted the absence of any applicable
Annual Shareholder Report
63

regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the CCO Fee Evaluation Report) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as a fund attains a certain size.
The CCO stated that his observations and the information accompanying the CCO Fee Evaluation Report supported a finding by the Board that the management fee for the Fund was reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of, the Fund's investment advisory contract. The CCO also recognized that the Board's evaluation of the Federated funds' advisory and subadvisory arrangements is a continuing and on-going process that is informed by the information that the Board requests and receives from management throughout the course of the year and, in this regard, the CCO noted certain items for future reporting to the Board or further consideration by management as the Board continues its on-going oversight of the Federated funds.
In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an investment advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the investment advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors summarized above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the investment advisory contract was appropriate.
The Board based its decision to approve the investment advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the continuation of the contract reflects its view that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangement.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

 

AUDIT SERVICES

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

TAX SERVICES

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ALL OTHER SERVICES

With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1)The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

 

(2)Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

 

(3)Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

 

The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

PROCEDURES

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

(e)(2) Percentage of services identified in items 4(b) through 4(d) that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

4(b)

Fiscal year ended 2018– 0%

Fiscal year ended 2017- 0%

Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

4(c)

Fiscal year ended 2018– 0%

Fiscal year ended 2017– 0%

Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

4(d)

Fiscal year ended 2018– 0%

Fiscal year ended 2017– 0%

Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

(f)NA

 

(g)Non-Audit Fees billed to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser, and certain entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser:

 

Fiscal year ended 2018- $1,042,210

Fiscal year ended 2017- $268,903

(h)The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

 

The registrant’s management and Audit Committee continue to believe that the registrant’s registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), has the ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within their audit services. EY is required to make a determination that it satisfies certain independence requirements under the federal securities laws. Like other registrants, there is a risk that activities or relationships of EY, or its partners or employees, can prevent a determination from being made that it satisfies such independence requirements with respect to the registrant, which could render it ineligible to serve as the registrant’s independent public accountant.

In its required communications to the Audit Committee of the registrant’s Board, EY informed the Audit Committee that EY and/ or covered person professionals within EY maintain lending relationships with certain owners of greater than 10% of the shares of the registrant and/or certain investment companies within the “investment company complex” as defined under Rule 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, which are affiliates of the registrant. EY has advised the Audit Committee that these lending relationships implicate Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the “Loan Rule”). The Loan Rule prohibits an independent public accountant, or covered person professionals at such firm, from having a financial relationship (such as a loan) with a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than 10% of an audit client’s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the registrant, as well as all registered investment companies advised by advisory subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., the Adviser (for which EY serves as independent public accountant), and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Federated Fund Complex”).

EY informed the Audit Committee that EY believes that these lending relationships described above do not and will not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audits of the financial statements for the registrant and a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within EY’s audits.

On June 20, 2016, the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a no-action letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to similar Loan Rule matters as those described above (the “Letter”). In the Letter, the SEC Staff confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against an investment company that relied on the audit services performed by an independent public accountant where the Loan Rule was implicated in certain specified circumstances provided that: (1) the auditor has complied with PCAOB Rule 3526(b)(1) and 3526(b)(2); (2) the Loan Rule is implicated because of lending relationships; and (3) notwithstanding such lending relationships that implicate the Loan Rule, the auditor has concluded that it is objective and impartial with respect to the issues encompassed within its engagement as auditor of the funds. The circumstances described in the Letter are substantially similar to the circumstances that implicated the Loan Rule with respect to EY and the registrant. On September 22, 2017, the SEC extended the expiration of the Letter until the effectiveness of any amendments to the Loan Rule designed to address the concerns in the Letter. On May 2, 2018, the SEC proposed amendments to the Loan Rule, which, if adopted as proposed, would refocus the analysis that must be conducted to determine whether an auditor is independent when the auditor has a lending relationship with certain shareholders of an audit client at any time during an audit or professional engagement period.

Additionally, on July 18, 2018, EY informed the registrant that Rule 2-01(c)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-X (“Investment Rule”) also has been implicated since July 2, 2018. The Investment Rule prohibits public accounting firms, or covered person professionals and their immediate family members, from having certain direct financial investments in their audit clients and affiliated entities. EY recently informed the registrant that a pension trust of a non-US affiliated entity of EY had previously made and maintains an investment in a fund (“Hermes Fund”) managed by Hermes Alternative Investment Management Limited (“HAIML”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hermes Fund Managers Limited (“HFML”). The pension trust’s investment in the Hermes Fund involves the Investment Rule because an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Federated Investors, Inc. (an affiliate of the registrant’s adviser), acquired a 60% majority interest in HFML on July 2, 2018, effective July 1, 2018 (“Hermes Acquisition”). The pension trust first invested in the Hermes Fund in 2007, well prior to the Hermes Acquisition. The pension trust’s investment represents less than 3.3% of the Hermes Fund’s assets as of July 18, 2018. In addition, the only voting rights shareholders of the Hermes Fund have under the Hermes Fund’s governing documents relate to key appointments, including the election of the non-executive members of the Hermes Fund’s committee, the appointment of the Hermes Fund’s trustee and the adoption of the Hermes Fund’s financial statements. The next meeting of the Hermes Fund at which shareholders can vote on the election of members to the Hermes Fund’s committee is not until June 2019, and the size of the pension trust’s investment in the Hermes Fund would not allow it to unilaterally elect a committee member or the trustee.EY does not audit the Hermes Fund and the Hermes Fund’s assets and operations are not consolidated in the registrant’s financial statements that are subject to audit by EY. Finally, no member of EY’s audit team that provides audit services to the registrant is a beneficiary of EY’s affiliated entity’s pension trust. EY subsequently informed the registrant that EY’s affiliated entity’s pension trust has submitted an irrevocable redemption notice to redeem its investment in the Hermes Fund. Pursuant to the redemption terms of the Hermes Fund, the pension trust’s redemption cannot be effected until December 26, 2018 at the earliest. The redemption notice cannot be revoked by the pension trust. The redemption notice would only be revoked by HAIML, as the adviser for Hermes Fund, if, and to the extent, the pension trust successfully sells its interest in the Hermes Fund in a secondary market transaction. EY also informed the registrant that the pension trust simultaneously submitted a request to HAIML to conduct a secondary market auction for the pension trust’s interests in the Hermes Fund. Management has reviewed this matter with the registrant’s Audit Committee, and, based on that review, as well as a letter from EY to the registrant dated July 26, 2018, in which EY indicated that it had determined that this matter does not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the registrant and the belief that a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within EY’s audit, the registrant’s management and Audit Committee have made a determination that such matter does not impair EY’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the registrant.

If it were to be determined that, with respect to the Loan Rule, the relief available under the Letter was improperly relied upon, or that the independence requirements under the federal securities laws were not complied with regarding the registrant, for certain periods, and/or given the implication of the Investment Rule for certain periods, any of the registrant’s filings with the SEC which contain financial statements of the registrant for such periods may be determined not to be consistent with or comply with applicable federal securities laws, the registrant’s ability to offer shares under its current registration statement may be impacted, and certain financial reporting and/or other covenants with, and representations and warranties to, the registrant’s lender under its committed line of credit may be impacted. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the registrant and the Federated Fund Complex.
