The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

Explanation of Financial Statements

 

As a shareholder in First American Funds you receive shareholder reports semiannually. We strive to present this financial information in an easy-to-understand format; however, for many investors, the information contained in this shareholder report may seem very technical. So we would like to take this opportunity to explain several sections of the shareholder report.

 

The Schedule of Investments details all of the securities held in the fund and their related dollar values on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are presented by type (certificates of deposit, government agency debt, etc.) and, for Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, by state. This information is useful for analyzing how your fund’s assets are invested and seeing where your portfolio manager believes the best opportunities exist to meet your objectives. Holdings are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a recommendation of any individual security. The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional details on how the securities are valued.

 

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities lists the assets and liabilities of the fund and presents the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV per share is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. The investments as presented in the Schedule of Investments comprise substantially all of the fund’s assets. Other assets include cash and receivables for items such as income earned by the fund but not yet received. Liabilities include payables for items such as fund expenses incurred but not yet paid.

 

The Statement of Operations details interest income earned from securities as well as the expenses incurred by the fund during the reporting period. Fund expenses may be reduced through fee waivers or reimbursements. This statement reflects total expenses before any waivers or reimbursements, the amount of waivers and reimbursements (if any), and the net expenses. This statement also shows the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments owned during the period. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on investment income and expenses of the fund.

 

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets describes how the fund’s net assets were affected by its operating results, distributions to shareholders, and shareholder transactions during the reporting period. This statement is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the fund’s net asset size to change during the period.

 

The Financial Highlights provide a per-share breakdown of the components that affected the fund’s NAV for the current and past reporting periods. It also shows total return, expense ratios, and net investment income ratios. The net investment income ratios summarize the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets. The expense ratios represent the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period.

Expense Examples (unaudited)

 

Expense Example

As a shareholder of one or more of the funds you incur ongoing costs, including invest- ment advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested in a fund at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019.

 

Actual Expenses
For each class of each fund, two lines are presented in the table below – the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested in the particular fund and class, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value in the fund and class 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 line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare these hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the tables for each class of each fund 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.

1>   Organization

 

Government Obligations Fund, Institutional Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (each a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”) are mutual funds offered by First American Funds, Inc. (“FAF”), which is a member of the First American Family of Funds. FAF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), as an open-end investment management company. FAF’s articles of incorporation permit the board of directors to create additional funds in the future. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (“USBAM”) is the investment advisor to each of the funds (the “advisor”), and is a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). U.S. Bank is a separate entity and wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp.

 

Government Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund qualify as “government money market funds” under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act and seek to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) per share of one dollar. They are generally not subject to the default liquidity fees and redemption gates that may apply to other money market funds and the board of directors has determined not to impose such fees and gates on these funds.

 

Government Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund offer Class A, Class D, Class V, Class Y, and Class Z shares. Additionally, Government Obligations Fund and Treasury Obligations Fund offer Class P (effective December 18, 2017) and Class X shares, and Government Obligations Fund also offers Class U shares (effective February 26, 2018). Effective October 26, 2018, Class G shares were converted to Class A shares of Treasury Obligations Fund.

 

Retail Prime Obligations Fund and Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund are open to retail investors (“natural persons”) and seek to maintain a stable NAV per share of one dollar. They are subject to the possibility of liquidity fees and redemption gates, as required by Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. Retail Prime Obligations Fund and Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund offer Class A, Class V, Class Y, and Class Z shares. Retail Prime Obligations Fund also offers Class T and Class X shares.

 

Institutional Prime Obligations Fund is subject to the possibility of liquidity fees and redemption gates and transacts at a floating NAV that is calculated out to four decimal places, as required by Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. The fund offers Class T, Class V, Class Y, and Class Z shares. Class X shares closed on October 30, 2018.

 

Each fund’s prospectus provides descriptions of its investment objective, principal investment strategies, and principal risks. All classes of shares of a fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees and expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to its servicing or distribution arrangements.

2>   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies followed by the funds are as follows:

 

SECURITY VALUATIONS

 

Government Obligations Fund, Retail Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, Treasury Obligations Fund, and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund Investment securities held are stated at amortized cost (except for investments in other money market funds which are valued at their most current NAV), which approximates fair value. Under the amortized cost method any discount or premium is amortized ratably to the final maturity of the security and is included in interest income. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, the fair value of securities held in the funds are determined using amortized cost, which is compared to prices provided by independent pricing providers.

 

If the advisor concludes that the price obtained from the pricing service is not reliable, or if the pricing service does not provide a price for a security, the advisor will use the fair value of the security for purposes of this comparison, which will be determined pursuant to procedures approved by the board of directors. If the difference between the aggregate market value and aggregate amortized cost of all securities held by a fund exceeds 0.25%, the funds’ administrator will notify the funds’ board of directors and will monitor the deviation on a daily basis. If the difference exceeds 0.50%, a meeting of the board of directors will be convened and the board will determine what action, if any, to take. During the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, the differences between the aggregate market value and the aggregate amortized cost of all securities did not exceed 0.25% for any fund on any day of the period.

 

Institutional Prime Obligations Fund
The fund prices and transacts its shares at a floating NAV, rounded to the fourth decimal place. The NAV per share of each share class of the fund is calculated at 8:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 2:00 p.m. Central Time on each business day that the fund is open. The fund’s investments for which market quotations are readily available will be valued at market value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by securities dealers. If market quotations are not readily available, or if the advisor believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect market prices, the fair value of the fund’s investments will be determined in good faith based upon valuation procedures established by the board of directors. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost where the advisor believes that it approximates market value. Shares of other money market funds are valued at their most current NAV.

 

United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or technique. These principles establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. Fair value 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 with similar interest rates, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

66 FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS     2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT

 

 

During the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, there were no transfers between fair value levels, and the funds’ portfolios did not hold any securities deemed to be Level 3.

 

ILLIQUIDO RRESTRICTED SECURITIES – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the funds’ board of directors as reflecting fair value.

 

Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the funds’ board of directors as reflecting fair value. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors are not subject to the limitation on a fund’s investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the funds’ board of directors.

 

As of and during the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, the funds did not hold any restricted securities. As of February 28, 2019, Government Obligations Fund, Institutional Prime Obligations Fund, and Retail Prime Obligations Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $150,000 or 0.3% of total net assets, $40,000 or 3.6% of total net assets, and $80,000 or 3.0% of total net assets, respectively.

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENTIN COME – For financial statement purposes, the funds record security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization, is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the fund at net asset value on the first business day of the following month.

 

FEDERAL TAXES – Each fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

 

As of February 28, 2019, the funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years.

 

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book-to-tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period in which the differences arise.

 

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the period that the income or realized gains were recorded by the fund.

  U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund 1,761 1,761

 

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis undistributed/accumulated income, gains, and losses are primarily due to distributions declared but not paid by August 31, 2018.

 

Under current law, the funds may carry forward net capital losses indefinitely to use to offset capital gains realized in future years. Capital losses realized under current law will carry forward retaining their classification as either long-term or short-term losses. As of August 31, 2018, Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund had indefinite short-term capital loss carryforwards of $13.

 

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund utilized $1 of capital loss carryforwards.

 

68 FIRST AMERICAN FUNDS      2019 SEMIANNUAL REPORT

 

 

REPURCHASEAGREEMENTS – Each fund (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may enter into repurchase agreement transactions with counterparties whom the funds’ investment advisor deems creditworthy, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities from the funds at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the fund, plus interest, at a rate that is negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.

 

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreement transactions are held by the custodian bank or maintained in a segregated account by an unaffiliated third-party custodian bank until the maturity of the respective repurchase agreement transaction. Provisions of the repurchase agreements are designed to ensure that the value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the fund may be delayed or limited. Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund did not enter into repurchase agreement transactions during the six-month period ending February 28, 2019.

 

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each fund may enter into repurchase agreement transactions (and other short-term investments) on a joint basis with certain other funds advised by the advisor.

SECURITIES LENDING – In order to generate additional income, each fund (other than U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) may lend portfolio securities representing up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks or other institutional borrowers of securities. Only Government Obligations Fund, Institutional Prime Obligations Fund, Retail Prime Obligations Fund, and Treasury Obligations Fund may do so as a principal investment strategy.

 

Each fund’s policy is to maintain collateral in the form of cash, U.S. government securities, or other high-grade debt obligations equal to at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. The collateral is then “marked to market” daily until the securities are returned. As with other extensions of credit, there may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the security fail financially. Cash collateral is invested in short-term, high quality U.S. dollar-denominated securities that would be eligible for investment by a money market fund under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. As of February 28, 2019, the funds had no securities on loan. In addition, the funds did not participate in securities lending during the six-month period ended February 28, 2019.

 

U.S. Bank, the parent company of the funds’ advisor, serves as the securities lending agent for the funds in transactions involving the lending of portfolio securities on behalf of the fund. U.S. Bank acts as the securities lending agent pursuant to, and subject to compliance with, conditions contained in an exemptive order issued by the SEC. As the securities lending agent, U.S. Bank receives fees of up to 20% of each fund’s net income from securities lending transactions and pays half of such fees to USBAM for certain securities lending services provided by USBAM. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, no fees were paid to U.S. Bank for serving as the securities lending agent for the funds.

EXPENSES – Expenses that are directly related to one of the funds are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are allocated to the funds on several bases, including relative net assets of all funds. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, are borne by that class.

 

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM – Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies in the First American Family of Funds, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. The funds did not have any interfund lending transactions during the six-month period ended February 28, 2019.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3>  Fees and Expenses

 

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, USBAM manages each fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel.

The advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse other fund expenses through October 31, 2019, so the annual fund operating expenses, after waivers, do not exceed the following amounts:

 

  Share Class

  U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund 0.75% 0.60% N/A N/A N/A 0.30% N/A 0.45% 0.20%

 

These contractual waivers and reimbursements will remain in effect through October 31, 2019 and may not be terminated prior to such time without the approval of the funds’ board of directors. Waivers and reimbursements by the advisor are otherwise voluntary and may be terminated at any time by the advisor. In order to maintain a minimum yield, or to prevent total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding the fund classes expense limitations, USBAM waived or reimbursed investment advisory fees of $162 and $25 for Institutional Prime Obligations Fund and Retail Tax Free Obligations Fund, respectively, during the six-month period ended February 28, 2019.

Under the custodian agreement, the custodian may charge a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred by a particular fund, which increases that fund’s custodian expenses. For the six-month period ended February 28, 2019, custodian fees were not increased as a result of any overdrafts.
