Fundamental and Nonfundamental Investment Policies

Fundamental investment policies adopted by a fund cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund (i.e., shareholders) as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Nonfundamental investment policies may be changed by the Board at any time.

Notwithstanding any of a fund’s other investment policies, each fund, subject to certain limitations, may invest its assets in an open-end management investment company having substantially the same investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as the fund for the purpose of having those assets managed as part of a combined pool.

FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES

Fundamental policies are policies that can be changed only with shareholder approval. The chart below shows fund-specific policies that may be changed only with shareholder approval. The chart indicates whether or not the fund has a policy on a particular topic. A dash indicates that the fund does not have a policy on a particular topic. Please see “Investment Strategies and Types of Investments” for more information regarding your fund’s investment strategies. The specific policy is stated in the paragraphs that follow the table.

*		The fund-of-funds invests in a combination of underlying funds. These underlying funds have adopted their own investment policies that may be more or less restrictive than those of the fund-of-funds. The policies of the underlying funds may permit a fund to engage in investment strategies indirectly that would otherwise be prohibited under the fund’s investment restrictions.
(a)		The fund does not intend to purchase bonds or other debt securities the interest from which is subject to the alternative minimum tax.
(b)		For purposes of this policy, the fund will not include any investments subject to the alternative minimum tax.
(c)		Additionally, the fund may purchase gold, silver, or other precious metals, strategic metals or other metals occurring naturally with such metals.
(d)		The policy includes futures contracts.
(e)		A fund may be deemed an underwriter in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.


A.	Buy or sell real estate


	A1 –	The fund will not buy or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, except this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business or real estate investment trusts. For purposes of this policy, real estate includes real estate limited partnerships.

	A2 –	The fund will not buy or sell real estate, commodities or commodity contracts. For purposes of this policy, real estate includes real estate limited partnerships.

	A3 –	The fund will not purchase or hold any real estate, except that a fund may invest in securities secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by persons (other than real estate investment trusts) which deal in real estate or interests therein.

	A4 –	The fund will not purchase or hold any real estate, including limited partnership interests on real property, except that the fund may invest in securities secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by persons (other than real estate investment trusts) which deal in real estate or interests therein.

	A6 –	The fund will not buy or hold any real estate or securities of corporations or trusts whose principal business is investing in interests in real estate.


	A7 –	The fund will not buy or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, except this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business real estate investment trusts (REITs) or entities similar to REITs formed under the laws of non-U.S. companies. For purposes of this policy, real estate includes real estate limited partnerships.


B.	Buy or sell physical commodities


	B1 –	The fund will not buy or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, except this shall not prevent the fund from buying or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by, or whose value is derived from, physical commodities.


B2 –	The fund will not buy or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, except this shall not prevent the fund from buying or selling options, futures contracts and foreign currency or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by, or whose value is derived from, physical commodities.

B3 –	The fund will not buy or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, except this shall not prevent the fund from buying or selling options, futures contracts and foreign currency (and, in the case of Columbia Marsico Flexible Capital, swaps) or from entering into forward currency contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by, or whose value is derived from, physical commodities.

B4 –	The fund will not buy or sell commodities, except that the fund may to the extent consistent with its investment objective(s), invest in securities of companies that purchase or sell commodities or which invest in such programs, and purchase and sell options, forward contracts, futures contracts, and options on futures contracts and enter into


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 7

B6 –	The fund will not purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except to the extent permissible under applicable law and interpretations, as they may be amended from time to time.


C.	Buy more than 10% of an issuer


	C1 –	The fund will not purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer, except that up to 25% of the fund’s assets may be invested without regard to this 10% limitation. For tax-exempt funds, for purposes of this policy, the terms of a municipal security determine the issuer.

	C2 –	The fund will not purchase securities (except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets will be invested in the securities of such issuer or it would own more than 10% of the voting securities of such issuer, except that: (a) up to 25% of its total assets may be invested without regard to these limitations; and (b) a fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of one or more management investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, or any applicable exemptive relief.

D.	Invest more than 5% in an issuer


	D1 –	The fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities of any company, government, or political subdivision thereof, except the limitation will not apply to investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, or other investment companies, and except that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets may be invested without regard to this 5% limitation. For tax-exempt funds, for purposes of this policy, the terms of a municipal security determine the issuer.

	D2 –	The fund will not, as to 50% of the value of its total assets, purchase securities of any issuer if immediately thereafter more than 5% of total assets at market value would be invested in the securities of any issuer (except that this limitation does not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities).


E.	Concentrate


	E1 –	The fund will not concentrate in any one industry. According to the present interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this means that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets, based on current market value at time of purchase, can be invested in any one industry.


E2 –	The fund will not concentrate in any one industry. According to the present interpretation by the SEC, this means that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets, based on current market value at time of purchase, can be invested in any one industry. The fund itself does not intend to concentrate, however, the aggregation of holdings of the underlying funds may result in the fund indirectly investing more than 25% of its assets in a particular industry. The fund does not control the investments of the underlying funds and any indirect concentration will occur only as a result of the fund following its investment objectives by investing in the underlying funds.

E3 –	The fund will not invest less than 25% of its total assets in the precious metals industry, based on current market value at the time of purchase, unless market conditions temporarily require a defensive investment strategy.

E4 –	The fund will not concentrate in any one industry unless that industry represents more than 25% of the index tracked by the fund. For all other industries, in accordance with the current interpretation by the SEC, this means that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets, based on current market value at time of purchase, can be invested in any one industry.

E5 –	While the fund may invest 25% or more of its total assets in the securities of foreign governmental and corporate entities located in the same country, it will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any single foreign governmental issuer.

E6 –	The fund will not concentrate in any one industry. According to the present interpretation by the SEC, this means that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets, based on current market value at time of purchase, can be invested in any


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 8


		one industry. For purposes of this restriction, loans will be considered investments in the industry of the underlying borrower, rather than that of the seller of the loan.


E7 –	The fund will not concentrate in any one industry, provided however, that this restriction shall not apply to securities or obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, banks or bank holding companies or finance companies. For all other industries, this means that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets, based on current market value at the time of purchase, can be invested in any one industry.

E8 –	The fund will not purchase any securities which would cause 25% or more of the value of its total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that: a) there is no limitation with respect to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, any state or territory of the United States, or any of their agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions; and b) notwithstanding this limitation or any other fundamental investment limitation, assets may be invested in the securities of one or more management investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and any applicable exemptive relief.

E9 –	The fund will not invest more than 25% of total assets, at market value, in any one industry; except that municipal securities and securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities are not considered an industry for purposes of this limitation.

E10 –	The fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets, at market value, in the securities of issuers in any particular industry, provided that this limitation shall exclude securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

E11 –	The fund will not invest more than 25% of the market value of its total assets in securities of issuers in any one industry, provided that the fund reserves the right to concentrate investments in money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities or banks or bank holding companies.

E12 –

The fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets, at market value, in the securities of issuers in any particular industry, except that the fund will invest at least 25% of the value of its total assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the communications, information and related industries and provided that this limitation shall exclude securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

E13 –

The fund will not concentrate in any one industry (other than U.S. government securities, provided that this limitation shall exclude securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities). According to the present interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this means that up to 25% of the fund’s total assets, based on current market value at time of purchase, can be invested in any one industry.

For purposes of applying the limitation set forth in the concentration policy, above, the funds will generally use the industry classifications provided by the Global Industry Classification System.


F.	Invest less than 80%


	F1 –	The fund will not under normal market conditions, invest less than 80% of its net assets in municipal obligations that are generally exempt from federal income tax as well as respective state and local income tax.

G.	Act as an underwriter


	G1 –	The fund will not act as an underwriter (sell securities for others). However, under the securities laws, the fund may be deemed to be an underwriter when it purchases securities directly from the issuer and later resells them.

Investment Strategies and Types of Investments

This table shows many of the various investment strategies and investments the funds are allowed to engage in and purchase. It is intended to show the breadth of investments that the investment manager or subadviser (individually and collectively, the “investment manager”) may make on behalf of a fund. For a description of principal risks for an individual fund, please see the applicable prospectus for that fund. Notwithstanding a fund’s ability to utilize these strategies and investments, the investment manager is not obligated to use them at any particular time. For example, even though the investment manager is authorized to adopt temporary defensive positions and is authorized to attempt to hedge against certain types of risk, these practices are left to the investment manager’s sole discretion.

Fund-of-funds invest in a combination of underlying funds, although they may invest directly in stocks, bonds and other securities. These underlying funds have their own investment strategies and types of investments they are allowed to engage in and purchase. Fund-of-funds currently only invest in underlying funds, which may invest directly in securities and engage in investment strategies, indicated in the table below.

Investment strategies and types of investments: A black circle indicates that the investment strategy or type of investment generally is authorized for a category of funds. Exceptions are noted in the footnotes to the table. See Table 1 for fund categories.

Information Regarding Risks and Investment Strategies

RISKS

The following is a summary of risk characteristics. Following this summary is a description of certain investments and investment strategies and the risks most commonly associated with them (including certain risks not described below and, in some cases, a more comprehensive discussion of how the risks apply to a particular investment or investment strategy). A mutual fund’s risk profile is largely defined by the fund’s primary portfolio holdings and investment strategies. However, most mutual funds are allowed to use certain other strategies and investments that may have different risk characteristics. Accordingly, one or more of the following types of risk may be associated with a fund at any time (for a description of principal risks and investment strategies for an individual fund, please see that fund’s prospectus):

Active Management Risk. For a fund that is actively managed, its performance will reflect in part the ability of the portfolio managers to select securities and to make investment decisions that are suited to achieving the fund’s investment objectives. Due to its active management, a fund could underperform other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

Affiliated Fund Risk. For funds-of-funds, the risk that the investment manager may have potential conflicts of interest in selecting underlying funds because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds. However, the investment manager is a fiduciary to the funds and is legally obligated to act in their best interests when selecting underlying funds.

Allocation Risk. For funds-of-funds, the risk that the investment manager’s evaluations regarding asset classes or underlying funds may be incorrect. There is no guarantee that the underlying funds will achieve their investment objectives. There is also a risk that the selected underlying funds’ performance may be lower than the performance of the asset class they were selected to represent or may be lower than the performance of alternative underlying funds that could have been selected to represent the asset class.

Asian Pacific Region Risk. Many of the countries in the Asian Pacific Region are developing both politically and economically, and may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on a limited number of commodities or industries. Securities markets in the Asian Pacific Region are smaller and have a lower trading volume than those in the United States, which may result in the securities of some companies in the Asian Pacific Region being less liquid than similar U.S. or other foreign securities. Some currencies in the Asian Pacific Region are more volatile than the U.S. dollar, and some countries in the Asian Pacific Region have restricted the flow of money in and out of the country. As a result, many of the risks detailed above under “Risks of Foreign Investing” may be more pronounced due to concentration of the Fund’s investments in the Asian Pacific Region.

Borrowing Risk. To the extent the fund borrows money for investment purposes, which is commonly referred to as “leveraging,” the fund’s exposure to fluctuations in the prices of its assets will be increased as compared to the fund’s exposure if the fund did not borrow. The fund’s borrowing activities will exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value of the fund. In addition, the interest which the fund pays on borrowed money, together with any additional costs of maintaining a borrowing facility, are additional costs borne by the fund and could reduce or eliminate any net investment profits. Unless profits on assets acquired with borrowed funds exceed the costs of borrowing, the use of borrowing will diminish the investment performance of the fund compared with what it would have been without borrowing. When the fund borrows money it must comply with certain asset coverage requirements, which at times may require the fund to dispose of some of its holdings, even though it may be disadvantageous to do so at the time.

Common Stock Risk. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by the fund. Also, the prices of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in the stock market and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes to investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or when political or economic events affecting an issuer occurs. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase.

Concentration Risk. Investments that are concentrated in a particular issuer, geographic region, or sector will make the fund’s portfolio value more susceptible to the events or conditions impacting the issuer, geographic region, or sector. Because of the fund’s concentration, the fund’s overall value may decline to a greater degree than if the fund held a less concentrated portfolio.

Confidential Information Access Risk. For funds investing in floating rate loans, the investment manager normally will seek to avoid the receipt of material, non-public information (Confidential Information) about the issuers of floating rate loans being considered for acquisition by the fund, or held in the fund. In many instances, issuers of floating rate loans offer to furnish Confidential Information to prospective purchasers or holders of the issuer’s floating rate loans to help potential investors assess the value of the loan. The investment manager’s decision not to receive Confidential Information from these issuers may disadvantage the fund as compared to other floating rate loan investors, and may adversely affect the price the fund pays for the loans it purchases, or the price at which the fund sells the loans. Further, in situations when holders of floating rate loans are asked, for example, to grant consents, waivers or amendments, the investment manager’s ability to assess the desirability of such consents, waivers or amendments may be compromised. For these and other reasons, it is possible that the investment manager’s decision under normal circumstances not to receive Confidential Information could adversely affect the fund’s performance.

Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument entered into by the fund or held by a special purpose or structured vehicle becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The fund will typically enter into financial instrument transactions with counterparties whose credit rating is investment grade, or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the investment manager.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that one or more fixed income securities in the fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or repay principal when due because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status and is unable or unwilling to honor its obligations, including the payment of interest or the repayment of principal. Adverse conditions in the credit markets can adversely affect the broader global economy, including the credit quality of issuers of fixed income securities in which the fund may invest. Changes by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in its rating of securities and in the ability of an issuer to make scheduled payments may also affect the value of the fund’s investments. To the extent the fund invests in below-investment grade securities, it will be exposed to a greater amount of credit risk than a fund which invests solely in investment grade securities. The prices of lower grade securities are more sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the issuer’s revenues or a general economic downturn, than are the prices of higher grade securities. Fixed income securities of below investment grade quality are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due and therefore involve a greater risk of default. If the fund purchases unrated securities, or if the rating of a security is reduced after purchase, the fund will depend on the investment manager’s analysis of credit risk more heavily than usual.

Currency Risk. The performance of the fund may be materially affected positively or negatively by foreign currency strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly if the fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depends upon, or is derived from, the value of something else, such as one or more underlying securities, pools of securities, options, futures, indexes or currencies. Losses involving derivative instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in the underlying security(ies), instrument, currency or index may result in a substantial loss for the fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within a fund. Derivative instruments in which the fund invests will typically increase the fund’s exposure to its principal risks (as described in the fund’s prospectus) to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty credit risk, hedging risk, leverage risk, and liquidity risk.

Correlation risk is related to hedging risk and is the risk that there may be an incomplete correlation between the hedge and the opposite position, which may result in increased or unanticipated losses.

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to the derivative instrument becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, and the fund may obtain no recovery of its investment or may only obtain a limited recovery, and any recovery may be delayed.

Hedging risk is the risk that derivative instruments used to hedge against an opposite position may offset losses, but they may also offset gains. There is no guarantee that a hedging strategy will eliminate the risk which the hedging strategy is intended to offset, which may lead to losses within a fund.

Leverage risk is the risk that losses from the derivative instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative instrument. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the derivative instrument may be difficult or impossible to sell or terminate, which may cause the fund to be in a position to do something the investment manager would not otherwise choose, including accepting a lower price


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 16

for the derivative instrument, selling other investments or foregoing another, more appealing investment opportunity. Derivative instruments, which are not traded on an exchange, including, but not limited to, forward contracts, swaps, and over-the-counter options may have liquidity risk.

Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Risk. An ETF’s share price may not track its specified market index and may trade below its net asset value. ETFs generally use a “passive” investment strategy and will not attempt to take defensive positions in volatile or declining markets. An active secondary market in an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained and may be halted or interrupted due to actions by its listing exchange, unusual market conditions or other reasons. There can be no assurance an ETF’s shares will continue to be listed on an active exchange. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the fund’s expenses and similar expenses incurred through ownership of the ETF.

The funds generally expect to purchase shares of ETFs through broker-dealers in transactions on a securities exchange, and in such cases the funds will pay customary brokerage commissions for each purchase and sale. Shares of an ETF may also be acquired by depositing a specified portfolio of the ETF’s underlying securities, as well as a cash payment generally equal to accumulated dividends of the securities (net of expenses) up to the time of deposit, with the ETF’s custodian, in exchange for which the ETF will issue a quantity of new shares sometimes referred to as a “creation unit”. Similarly, shares of an ETF purchased on an exchange may be accumulated until they represent a creation unit, and the creation unit may redeemed in kind for a portfolio of the underlying securities (based on the ETF’s net asset value) together with a cash payment generally equal to accumulated dividends as of the date of redemption. The funds may redeem creation units for the underlying securities (and any applicable cash), and may assemble a portfolio of the underlying securities (and any required cash) to purchase creation units. The funds’ ability to redeem creation units may be limited by the 1940 Act, which provides that ETFs will not be obligated to redeem shares held by the funds in an amount exceeding one percent of their total outstanding securities during any period of less than 30 days.

There is a risk that ETFs in which a fund invests may terminate due to extraordinary events. For example, any of the service providers to ETFs, such as the trustee or sponsor, may close or otherwise fail to perform their obligations to the ETF, and the ETF may not be able to find a substitute service provider. Also, ETFs may be dependent upon licenses to use the various indices as a basis for determining their compositions and/or otherwise to use certain trade names. If these licenses are terminated, the ETFs may also terminate. In addition, an ETF may terminate if its net assets fall below a certain amount.

Focused Portfolio Risk. The fund expects to invest in a limited number of companies. Accordingly, the fund may have more volatility and is considered to have more risk than a fund that invests in a greater number of companies because changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either negative or positive, on the fund’s net asset value. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in fewer securities, the fund is subject to greater risk of loss if any of those securities declines in price.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to constantly changing exchange rates and the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being sold forward. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and economic or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies may reduce the returns of the Fund. Trading of foreign currencies also includes the risk of clearing and settling trades which, if prices are volatile, may be difficult.

Foreign/Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United States. An issuer is deemed to be based outside the United States if it is organized under the laws of another country. Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. In addition to the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same type, foreign securities are subject to the following risks:

Country risk includes the political, economic, and other conditions of the country. These conditions include lack of publicly available information, less government oversight and regulation of business and industry practices of stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the U.S. (including lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic companies). In addition, with certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of nationalization, expropriation, the imposition of additional withholding or confiscatory taxes, political, social, or economic instability, diplomatic developments that could affect investments in those countries, or other unforeseen actions by regulatory bodies (such as changes to settlement or custody procedures). It may be more difficult for an investor’s agents to keep currently informed about corporate actions such as stock dividends or other matters that may affect the prices of portfolio securities. The liquidity of foreign investments may be more limited than for most U.S. investments, which means that, at times it may be difficult to sell foreign securities at desirable prices. Payment for securities without delivery may be required in certain foreign markets and, when participating in new issues, some foreign countries require payment to be


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 17

made in advance of issuance (at the time of issuance, the market value of the security may be more or less than the purchase price). Fixed commissions on some foreign stock exchanges are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges. Further, the Fund may encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies and obtain judgments in foreign courts. The introduction of a single currency, the euro, on Jan. 1, 1999 for participating European nations in the Economic and Monetary Union (EU) presents unique risks. The most important is the exposure to the economic, political and social development of the member countries in the EU.

Currency risk results from the constantly changing exchange rates between local currency and the U.S. dollar. Whenever the fund holds securities valued in a foreign currency or holds the currency, changes in the exchange rate add to or subtract from the value of the investment.

Custody risk refers to the process of clearing and settling trades. It also covers holding securities with local agents and depositories. Low trading volumes and volatile prices in less developed markets make trades harder to complete and settle. Local agents are held only to the standard of care of the local market. Governments or trade groups may compel local agents to hold securities in designated depositories that are not subject to independent evaluation. The less developed a country’s securities market is, the greater the likelihood of problems occurring.

Emerging markets risk includes the dramatic pace of change (economic, social, and political) in these countries as well as the other considerations listed above. These markets are in early stages of development and may be very volatile. They can be marked by extreme inflation, devaluation of currencies, dependence on trade partners, and hostile relations with neighboring countries.

Geographic Concentration Risk. The fund may be particularly susceptible to economic, political or regulatory events affecting companies and countries within the specific geographic region in which the fund focuses its investments. Currency devaluations could occur in countries that have not yet experienced currency devaluation to date, or could continue to occur in countries that have already experienced such devaluations. As a result, the fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund.

For state-specific funds. Because state-specific tax-exempt funds invest primarily in the municipal securities issued by the state and political sub-divisions of the state, each fund will be particularly affected by political and economic changes, adverse conditions to an industry significant to the area and other developments in the state in which it invests. This vulnerability to factors affecting the state’s tax-exempt investments will be significantly greater than that of a more geographically diversified fund, which may result in greater losses and volatility. See Appendix B for details. The value of municipal securities owned by a fund also may be adversely affected by future changes in federal or state income tax laws.

In addition, because of the relatively small number of issuers of tax-exempt securities and because the state-specific funds may concentrate in a segment of the tax-exempt debt market, such as revenue bonds for health care facilities, housing or airports, the fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets in a single issuer and, therefore, be more exposed to the risk of loss by investing in a few issuers than a fund that invests more broadly. At times, the fund and other accounts managed by the investment manager may own all or most of the debt of a particular issuer. These investments may cause the value of a fund’s shares to change more than the values of other funds’ shares that invest in more diversified investments. This concentration of ownership may make it more difficult to sell, or to determine the fair value of, these investments. The yields on the securities in which the fund invests generally are dependent on a variety of factors, including the financial condition of the issuer or other obligor, the revenue source from which the debt service is payable, general economic and monetary conditions, conditions in the relevant market, the size of a particular issue, the maturity of the obligation, and the rating of the issue. Because many tax-exempt bonds may be revenue or general obligations of local governments or authorities, ratings on tax-exempt bonds may be different from the ratings given to the general obligation bonds of a particular state.

More information about state specific risks may be available from official state resources.

Highly Leveraged Transactions Risk. Certain corporate loans and corporate debt securities involve refinancings, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, and other financings for general corporate purposes. These investments also may include senior obligations of a borrower issued in connection with a restructuring pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (commonly known as “debtor-in-possession” financings), provided that such senior obligations are determined by the fund’s investment manager upon its credit analysis to be a suitable investment by the fund. In such highly leveraged transactions, the borrower assumes large amounts of debt in order to have the financial resources to attempt to achieve its business objectives. Such business objectives may include but are not limited to: management’s taking over control of a company (leveraged buy-out); reorganizing the assets and liabilities of a company (leveraged recapitalization); or acquiring another company. Loans or securities that are part of highly leveraged transactions involve a greater risk (including default and bankruptcy) than other investments.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 18

Impairment of Collateral Risk. The value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline, and may be insufficient to meet the borrower’s obligations or difficult to liquidate. In addition, the fund’s access to collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency laws. Further, certain floating rate loans may not be fully collateralized and may decline in value.

Indexing Risk. For funds that are managed to an index, the fund’s performance will rise and fall, subject to any tracking error, as the performance of the index rises and falls.

Inflation-Protected Securities Risk. Inflation-protected debt securities tend to react to change in real interest rates. Real interest rates can be described as nominal interest rates minus the expected impact of inflation. In general, the price of an inflation-protected debt security falls when real interest rates rise, and rises when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on inflation-protected debt securities will vary as the principal and/or interest is adjusted for inflation and may be more volatile than interest paid on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, the fund may have no income at all. Income earned by a shareholder depends on the amount of principal invested and that principal cannot seek to grow with inflation unless the investor reinvests the portion of fund distributions that comes from inflation adjustments.

Infrastructure-Related Companies Risk. Investments in infrastructure-related securities have greater exposure to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal, and other changes affecting the issuers of such securities. Infrastructure-related businesses are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Additionally, infrastructure-related entities may be subject to regulation by various governmental authorities and may also be affected by governmental regulation of rates charged to customers, service interruption and/or legal challenges due to environmental, operational or other mishaps and the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards. There is also the risk that corruption may negatively affect publicly-funded infrastructure projects, especially in foreign markets, resulting in delays and cost overruns.

Initial Public Offering (IPO) Risk. IPOs are subject to many of the same risks as investing in companies with smaller market capitalizations. To the extent a fund determines to invest in IPOs it may not be able to invest to the extent desired, because, for example, only a small portion (if any) of the securities being offered in an IPO may be made available. The investment performance of a fund during periods when it is unable to invest significantly or at all in IPOs may be lower than during periods when the fund is able to do so. In addition, as a fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the fund’s performance will generally decrease. IPOs sold within 12 months of purchase will result in increased short-term capital gains, which will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

Interest Rate Risk. The securities in the portfolio are subject to the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally associated with bond prices: when interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a bond, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes also may increase prepayments of debt obligations, which in turn would increase prepayment risk.

Issuer Risk. An issuer, or the value of its securities, may perform poorly. Poor performance may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, breakthroughs in technology, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, or other factors.

Leverage Risk. Leverage occurs when the fund increases its assets available for investment using borrowings, short sales, derivatives, or similar instruments or techniques. Due to the fact that short sales involve borrowing securities and then selling them, the fund’s short sales effectively leverage the fund’s assets. The use of leverage may make any change in the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) even greater and thus result in increased volatility of returns. The fund’s assets that are used as collateral to secure the short sales may decrease in value while the short positions are outstanding, which may force the fund to use its other assets to increase the collateral. Leverage can also create an interest expense that may lower the fund’s overall returns. Lastly, there is no guarantee that a leveraging strategy will be successful.

Liquidity Risk. The risk associated from a lack of marketability of securities which may make it difficult or impossible to sell at desirable prices in order to minimize loss. The Fund may have to lower the selling price, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity.

Market Risk. The market value of securities may fall or fail to rise. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry, or the market as a whole. The market value of securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. This risk is generally greater for small and mid-sized companies, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments. In addition, focus on a particular style, for example, investment in growth or value securities, may cause the Fund to underperform other mutual funds if that style falls out of favor with the market.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 19

Master Limited Partnership Risk. Investments in securities (units) of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, if a fund holds mortgage-related securities, it may exhibit additional volatility. This is known as extension risk. In addition, adjustable and fixed rate mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner.

Municipal Securities Risk. The value of a municipal security may be affected by legislative or administrative actions as well as by the economics of the region where the issuer of the municipal security is located. For example, a significant restructuring of federal income tax rates could cause municipal security prices to fall. Lower income tax rates could reduce the advantage of owning municipal securities.

Non-Diversification Risk. A non-diversified fund may invest more of its assets in fewer companies than if it were a diversified fund. Because each investment has a greater effect on the fund’s performance, the fund may be more exposed to the risks of loss and volatility than a fund that invests more broadly.

Portfolio Trading and Turnover Risks. Portfolio trading may be undertaken to accomplish the investment objectives of the funds in relation to actual and anticipated movements in interest rates, securities markets and for other reasons. In addition, a security may be sold and another of comparable quality purchased at approximately the same time to take advantage of what the investment manager believes to be a temporary price disparity between the two securities. Temporary price disparities between two comparable securities may result from supply and demand imbalances where, for example, a temporary oversupply of certain securities may cause a temporarily low price for such security, as compared with other securities of like quality and characteristics. A fund may also engage in short-term trading consistent with its investment objectives. Securities may be sold in anticipation of a market decline or purchased in anticipation of a market rise and later sold, or to recognize a gain.

A change in the securities held by a fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” The use of certain derivative instruments with relatively short maturities may tend to exaggerate the portfolio turnover rate for a fund. High portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater expenses to the fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Trading in debt obligations does not generally involve the payment of brokerage commissions, but does involve indirect transaction costs. The use of futures contracts may involve the payment of commissions to futures commission merchants. The higher the rate of portfolio turnover of the fund, the higher the transaction costs borne by the fund generally will be. Transactions in the fund’s portfolio securities may result in realization of taxable capital gains (including short-term capital gains which are generally taxed to stockholders at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the fund’s performance.

Prepayment and Extension Risk. The risk that a bond or other security might be called, or otherwise converted, prepaid, or redeemed, before maturity. This risk is primarily associated with asset-backed securities, including mortgage backed securities. If a security is converted, prepaid, or redeemed, before maturity, particularly during a time of declining interest rates, the portfolio managers may not be able to reinvest in securities providing as high a level of income, resulting in a reduced yield to the fund. Conversely, as interest rates rise, the likelihood of prepayment decreases. The portfolio managers may be unable to capitalize on securities with higher interest rates because the Fund’s investments are locked in at a lower rate for a longer period of time.

Quantitative Model Risk. Securities selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the factors used in the quantitative method, the weight placed on each factor, and changes in the factors’ historical trends. The quantitative methodology employed by the investment manager has been extensively tested using historical securities market data, but has only recently begun to be used to manage the funds. There can be no assurance that the methodology will enable the fund to achieve its objective.

Real Estate Industry Risk. Certain underlying funds concentrate their investments in securities of companies operating in the real estate industry, making the fund is more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. These risks can include fluctuations in the value of the underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, market saturation, decreases in market rates for rents, and other economic, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting the real estate industry, including REITs.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 20

REITs depend upon specialized management skills, may have limited financial resources, may have less trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. REITs are also subject to the risk of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income. Some REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are affected by risks similar to those associated with investments in debt securities including changes in interest rates and the quality of credit extended.

Reinvestment Risk. The risk that an investor will not be able to reinvest income or principal at the same rate it currently is earning.

Retirement Goal Risk. For Retirement Plus Funds, the investor may have different needs than the quantitative model anticipates.

Sector Risk. Investments that are concentrated in a particular issuer, geographic region, or sector will be more susceptible to changes in price. The more a fund diversifies, the more it spreads risk and potentially reduces the risks of loss and volatility.

Short Selling Risk. The fund may make short sales, which involves selling a security the fund does not own in anticipation that the security’s price will decline. The fund must borrow those securities to make delivery to the buyer. The fund may not always be able to borrow a security it wants to sell short. The fund will suffer a loss if it sells a security short and the value of the security rises rather than falls. It is possible that the fund’s long positions will decline in value at the same time that the value of its short positions increase, thereby increasing potential losses to the fund. Short sales expose the fund to the risk that it will be required to buy the security sold short (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the fund. The fund may also be required to close out a short position at a time when it might not otherwise choose, for example, if the lender of the security calls it back, which may have the effect of reducing or eliminating potential gain, or cause the fund to realize a loss. Short positions introduce more risk to the fund than long positions (purchases) because the maximum sustainable loss on a security purchased (held long) is limited to the amount paid for the security plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum attainable price of the shorted security. Therefore, in theory, securities sold short have unlimited risk. Additionally, the fund’s use of short sales in effect “leverages” the fund, as the fund intends to use the cash proceeds from short sales to invest in additional long positions. This leverage effect potentially exposes the fund to greater risks due to unanticipated market movements, which may magnify losses and increase the volatility of returns. See Leverage Risk and Market Risk.

Small and Mid-Sized Company Risk. Investments in small and medium companies often involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies because small and medium companies may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification, experience, and competitive strengths of larger companies. Additionally, in many instances the securities of small and medium companies are traded only over-the-counter or on regional securities exchanges and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less and may be more volatile than is typical of larger companies.

Tax Risk. As a regulated investment company, a fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from sources treated as “qualifying income” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The fund currently intends to take positions in forward currency contracts with notional value up to the fund’s total net assets. Although foreign currency gains currently constitute “qualifying income” the Treasury Department has the authority to issue regulations excluding from the definition of “qualifying incomes” a fund’s foreign currency gains not “directly related” to its “principal business” of investing in stocks or securities (or options and futures with respect thereto). Such regulations might treat gains from some of the fund’s foreign currency-denominated positions as not “qualifying income” and there is a remote possibility that such regulations might be applied retroactively, in which case, the fund might not qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In the event the Treasury Department issues such regulations, the fund’s Board of Directors may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or fund liquidation.

Technology and Technology-Related Investment Risks. The market prices of technology and technology-related stocks tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and price volatility than other types of investments. These stocks may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. These stocks also may be affected adversely by changes in technology, consumer and business purchasing patterns, government regulation and/or obsolete products or services. In addition, a rising interest rate environment tends to negatively affect technology and technology-related companies. In such an environment, those companies with high market valuations may appear less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp decreases in the companies’ market prices. Further, those technology or technology-related companies seeking to finance their expansion would have increased borrowing costs, which may negatively impact their earnings. As a result, these factors may negatively affect the performance of the fund. Finally, the fund may be susceptible to factors affecting the technology and technology-related industries. Technology and technology-related companies are often smaller and less experienced companies and may be subject to greater risks than larger


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 21

companies, such as limited product lines, markets and financial and managerial resources. These risks may be heightened for technology companies in foreign markets.

Tracking Error Risk. For funds that are managed to an index, the fund may not track the index perfectly because differences between the index and the fund’s portfolio can cause differences in performance. The investment manager purchases securities and other instruments in an attempt to replicate the performance of the index. However, the tools that the investment manager uses to replicate the index are not perfect and the fund’s performance is affected by factors such as the size of the fund’s portfolio, transaction costs, management fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and fees, the extent and timing of cash flows in and out of the fund and changes in the index.

In addition, the returns from a specific type of security (for example, mid-cap stocks) may trail returns from other asset classes or the overall market. Each type of security will go through cycles of doing better or worse than stocks or bonds in general. These periods may last for several years.

Underlying Fund Selection Risk. For funds-of-funds, the risk that the selected underlying funds’ performance may be lower than the performance of the asset class they were selected to represent or may be lower than the performance of alternative underlying funds that could have been selected to represent the investment category.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The following information supplements the discussion of each fund’s investment objectives, policies, and strategies that are described in the prospectus and in this SAI. The following describes strategies that many mutual funds use and types of securities that they purchase. Please refer to the table titled Investment Strategies and Types of Investments to see which are applicable to various categories of funds.

Agency and Government Securities

The U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and government-sponsored enterprises issue many different types of securities. U.S. Treasury bonds, notes, and bills and securities, including mortgage pass through certificates of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), are guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Other U.S. government securities are issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or instrumentalities or government-sponsored enterprises but are not guaranteed by the U.S. government. This may increase the credit risk associated with these investments. Government-sponsored entities issuing securities include privately owned, publicly chartered entities created to reduce borrowing costs for certain sectors of the economy, such as farmers, homeowners, and students. They include the Federal Farm Credit Bank System, Farm Credit Financial Assistance Corporation, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation^* (FHLMC), Federal National Mortgage Association^* (FNMA), Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA), and Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). Government-sponsored entities may issue discount notes (with maturities ranging from overnight to 360 days) and bonds. Agency and government securities are subject to the same concerns as other debt obligations. (See also Debt Obligations and Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with agency and government securities include: Inflation Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Prepayment and Extension Risk, and Reinvestment Risk.


*		On Sept. 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), an agency of the U.S. government, placed the FHLMC and FNMA into conservatorship, a statutory process with the objective of returning the entities to normal business operations. FHFA will act as the conservator to operate the enterprises until they are stabilized.

Borrowing

If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage. Under the 1940 Act, the fund is required to maintain continuous asset coverage of 300% with respect to such borrowings and to sell (within three days) sufficient portfolio holdings to restore such coverage if it should decline to less than 300% due to market fluctuations or otherwise, even if such liquidations of the fund’s holdings may be disadvantageous from an investment standpoint. Leveraging by means of borrowing may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of portfolio securities or the fund’s NAV, and money borrowed will be subject to interest and other costs (which may include commitment fees and/or the cost of maintaining minimum average balances) which may or may not exceed the income received from the securities purchased with borrowed funds.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with borrowing include: Inflation Risk.

Cash/Money Market Instruments

Cash-equivalent investments include short-term U.S. and Canadian government securities and negotiable certificates of deposit, non-negotiable fixed-time deposits, bankers’ acceptances, and letters of credit of banks or savings and loan associations having capital, surplus, and undivided profits (as of the date of its most recently published annual financial statements) in excess of $100 million (or the equivalent in the instance of a foreign branch of a U.S. bank) at the date of investment. A fund also may purchase short-term notes and obligations of U.S. and foreign banks and corporations and may use repurchase agreements with broker-dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and with commercial banks. (See also Commercial Paper, Debt Obligations, Repurchase Agreements, and Variable- or Floating-Rate Securities.) These types of instruments generally offer low rates of return and subject a fund to certain costs and expenses. See Appendix A for a discussion of securities ratings.

Bankers’ acceptances are marketable short-term credit instruments used to finance the import, export, transfer or storage of goods. They are termed “accepted” when a bank guarantees their payment at maturity.

Bank certificates of deposit are certificates issued against funds deposited in a bank (including eligible foreign branches of U.S. banks), are for a definite period of time, earn a specified rate of return and are normally negotiable.

A fund may invest its daily cash balance in RiverSource Short-Term Cash Fund, a money market fund established for the exclusive use of the RiverSource, Seligman and Threadneedle funds and other institutional clients of Columbia Management.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with cash/money market instruments include: Credit Risk and Inflation Risk.

Collateralized Bond Obligations

Collateralized bond obligations (CBOs) are investment grade bonds backed by a pool of bonds, which may include junk bonds. CBOs are similar in concept to collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), but differ in that CBOs represent different degrees of credit quality rather than different maturities. (See also Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities.) Underwriters of CBOs package a large and diversified pool of high-risk, high-yield junk bonds, which is then separated into “tiers.” Typically, the first tier represents the higher quality collateral and pays the lowest interest rate; the second tier is backed by riskier bonds and pays a higher rate; the third tier represents the lowest credit quality and instead of receiving a fixed interest rate receives the residual interest payments — money that is left over after the higher tiers have been paid. CBOs, like CMOs, are substantially overcollateralized and this, plus the diversification of the pool backing them, may earn certain of the tiers investment-grade bond ratings. Holders of third-tier CBOs stand to earn high yields or less money depending on the rate of defaults in the collateral pool. (See also High-Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bonds).)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with CBOs include: Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Prepayment and Extension Risk.

Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is a short-term debt obligation with a maturity ranging from 2 to 270 days issued by banks, corporations, and other borrowers. It is sold to investors with temporary idle cash as a way to increase returns on a short-term basis. These instruments are generally unsecured, which increases the credit risk associated with this type of investment. (See also Debt Obligations and Illiquid and Restricted Securities.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with commercial paper include: Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk.

Common Stock

Common stock represents units of ownership in a corporation. Owners typically are entitled to vote on the selection of directors and other important matters as well as to receive dividends on their holdings. In the event that a corporation is liquidated, the claims of secured and unsecured creditors and owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

The price of common stock is generally determined by corporate earnings, type of products or services offered, projected growth rates, experience of management, liquidity, and general market conditions for the markets on which the stock trades.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with common stock include: Issuer Risk, Market Risk, and Small and Mid-Sized Company Risk.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted into common, preferred or other securities of the same or a different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price. Some


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 23

convertible securities, such as preferred equity-redemption cumulative stock (PERCs), have mandatory conversion features. Others are voluntary. A convertible security entitles the holder to receive interest normally paid or accrued on debt or the dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted, or exchanged. Convertible securities have unique investment characteristics in that they generally (i) have higher yields than common stocks but lower yields than comparable non-convertible securities, (ii) are less subject to fluctuation in value than the underlying stock since they have fixed income characteristics, and (iii) provide the potential for capital appreciation if the market price of the underlying common stock increases.

The value of a convertible security is a function of its “investment value” (determined by its yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege) and its “conversion value” (the security’s worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The investment value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors also may have an effect on the convertible security’s investment value. The conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of the underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. Generally, the conversion value decreases as the convertible security approaches maturity. To the extent the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible security will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security generally will sell at a premium over its conversion value by the extent to which investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with convertible securities include: Interest Rate Risk, Issuer Risk, Market Risk, Prepayment and Extension Risk, and Reinvestment Risk.

Corporate Bonds

Corporate bonds are debt obligations issued by private corporations, as distinct from bonds issued by a government or its agencies or a municipality. Corporate bonds typically have four distinguishing features: (1) they are taxable; (2) they have a par value of $1,000; (3) they have a term maturity, which means they come due all at once; and (4) many are traded on major exchanges. Corporate bonds are subject to the same concerns as other debt obligations. (See also Debt Obligations and High-Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bonds).) Corporate bonds may be either secured or unsecured. Unsecured corporate bonds are generally referred to as “debentures.” See Appendix A for a discussion of securities ratings.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with corporate bonds include: Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Issuer Risk, Prepayment and Extension Risk, and Reinvestment Risk.

Debt Obligations

Many different types of debt obligations exist (for example, bills, bonds, or notes). Issuers of debt obligations have a contractual obligation to pay interest at a fixed, variable or floating rate on specified dates and to repay principal on a specified maturity date. Certain debt obligations (usually intermediate- and long-term bonds) have provisions that allow the issuer to redeem or “call” a bond before its maturity. Issuers are most likely to call these securities during periods of falling interest rates. When this happens, an investor may have to replace these securities with lower yielding securities, which could result in a lower return.

The market value of debt obligations is affected primarily by changes in prevailing interest rates and the issuers perceived ability to repay the debt. The market value of a debt obligation generally reacts inversely to interest rate changes. When prevailing interest rates decline, the price usually rises, and when prevailing interest rates rise, the price usually declines.

In general, the longer the maturity of a debt obligation, the higher its yield and the greater the sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Conversely, the shorter the maturity, the lower the yield but the greater the price stability.

As noted, the values of debt obligations also may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of their issuers. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a security, the higher the degree of risk as to the payment of interest and return of principal. To compensate investors for taking on such increased risk, those issuers deemed to be less creditworthy generally must offer their investors higher interest rates than do issuers with better credit ratings. (See also Agency and Government Securities, Corporate Bonds, and High-Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bonds).)

Generally, debt obligations that are investment grade are those that have been rated in one of the top four credit quality categories by two out of the three independent rating agencies. In the event that a debt obligation has been rated by only two agencies, the most conservative, or lower, rating must be in one of the top four credit quality categories in order for the security to be considered investment grade. If only one agency has rated the debt obligation, that rating must be in one of the


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 24

top four credit quality categories for the security to be considered investment grade. See Appendix A for a discussion of securities ratings.

All ratings limitations are applied at the time of purchase. Subsequent to purchase, a debt security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by a fund. Neither event will require the sale of such a security, but it will be a factor in considering whether to continue to hold the security. To the extent that ratings change as a result of changes in a rating agency or its rating system, a fund will attempt to use comparable ratings as standards for selecting investments.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with debt obligations include: Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Issuer Risk, Prepayment and Extension Risk, and Reinvestment Risk.

Depositary Receipts

Some foreign securities are traded in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying securities of foreign issuers. European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are receipts typically issued by foreign banks or trust companies, evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by either a foreign or U.S. issuer. Generally, depositary receipts in registered form are designed for use in the U.S. and depositary receipts in bearer form are designed for use in securities markets outside the U.S. Depositary receipts may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the underlying securities into which they may be converted. Depositary receipts involve the risks of other investments in foreign securities. In addition, ADR holders may not have all the legal rights of shareholders and may experience difficulty in receiving shareholder communications. (See also Common Stock and Foreign Securities.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with depositary receipts include: Foreign/Emerging Markets Risk, Issuer Risk, and Market Risk.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments are commonly defined to include securities or contracts whose values depend, in whole or in part, on (or “derive” from) the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, or commodities.

A derivative instrument generally consists of, is based upon, or exhibits characteristics similar to options or forward contracts. Such instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while remaining fully invested, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs, or to pursue higher investment returns. Derivative instruments are characterized by requiring little or no initial payment. Their value changes daily based on a security, a currency, a group of securities or currencies, or an index. A small change in the value of the underlying security, currency, or index can cause a sizable percentage gain or loss in the price of the derivative instrument.

Options and forward contracts are considered to be the basic “building blocks” of derivatives. For example, forward- based derivatives include forward contracts, swap contracts, and exchange-traded futures. Forward-based derivatives are sometimes referred to generically as “futures contracts.” Option-based derivatives include privately negotiated, over-the-counter (OTC) options (including caps, floors, collars, and options on futures) and exchange-traded options on futures. Diverse types of derivatives may be created by combining options or futures in different ways, and by applying these structures to a wide range of underlying assets.

Options. An option is a contract. A person who buys a call option for a security has the right to buy the security at a set price for the length of the contract. A person who sells a call option is called a writer. The writer of a call option agrees for the length of the contract to sell the security at the set price when the buyer wants to exercise the option, no matter what the market price of the security is at that time. A person who buys a put option has the right to sell a security at a set price for the length of the contract. A person who writes a put option agrees to buy the security at the set price if the purchaser wants to exercise the option during the length of the contract, no matter what the market price of the security is at that time. An option is covered if the writer owns the security (in the case of a call) or sets aside the cash or securities of equivalent value (in the case of a put) that would be required upon exercise.

The price paid by the buyer for an option is called a premium. In addition to the premium, the buyer generally pays a broker a commission. The writer receives a premium, less another commission, at the time the option is written. The premium received by the writer is retained whether or not the option is exercised. A writer of a call option may have to sell the security for a below-market price if the market price rises above the exercise price. A writer of a put option may have to pay an above-market price for the security if its market price decreases below the exercise price.

When an option is purchased, the buyer pays a premium and a commission. It then pays a second commission on the purchase or sale of the underlying security if the option is exercised. For record keeping and tax purposes, the price obtained on the sale of the underlying security is the combination of the exercise price, the premium, and both commissions.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 25

One of the risks an investor assumes when it buys an option is the loss of the premium. To be beneficial to the investor, the price of the underlying security must change within the time set by the option contract. Furthermore, the change must be sufficient to cover the premium paid, the commissions paid both in the acquisition of the option and in a closing transaction or in the exercise of the option and sale (in the case of a call) or purchase (in the case of a put) of the underlying security. Even then, the price change in the underlying security does not ensure a profit since prices in the option market may not reflect such a change.

Options on many securities are listed on options exchanges. If a fund writes listed options, it will follow the rules of the options exchange. Options are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange. An option listed on a national exchange, Chicago Board Options Exchange, or NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices.

Options on certain securities are not actively traded on any exchange, but may be entered into directly with a dealer. These options may be more difficult to close. If an investor is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction, it will not be able to sell the underlying security until the call written by the investor expires or is exercised.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is a sales contract between a buyer (holding the “long” position) and a seller (holding the “short” position) for an asset with delivery deferred until a future date. The buyer agrees to pay a fixed price at the agreed future date and the seller agrees to deliver the asset. The seller hopes that the market price on the delivery date is less than the agreed upon price, while the buyer hopes for the contrary. Many futures contracts trade in a manner similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the commodity exchanges.

Generally, a futures contract is terminated by entering into an offsetting transaction. An offsetting transaction is effected by an investor taking an opposite position. At the time a futures contract is made, a good faith deposit called initial margin is set up. Daily thereafter, the futures contract is valued and the payment of variation margin is required so that each day a buyer would pay out cash in an amount equal to any decline in the contract’s value or receive cash equal to any increase. At the time a futures contract is closed out, a nominal commission is paid, which is generally lower than the commission on a comparable transaction in the cash market.

Futures contracts may be based on various securities, securities indexes (such as the S&P 500 Index), foreign currencies and other financial instruments and indexes.

A fund may engage in futures and related options transactions to produce incremental earnings, to hedge existing positions, and to increase flexibility. The fund intends to comply with Rule 4.5 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), under which a mutual fund is exempt from the definition of a “commodity pool operator.” The fund, therefore, is not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator, meaning that the fund may invest in futures contracts without registering with the CFTC.

Options on Futures Contracts. Options on futures contracts give the holder a right to buy or sell futures contracts in the future. Unlike a futures contract, which requires the parties to the contract to buy and sell a security on a set date (some futures are settled in cash), an option on a futures contract merely entitles its holder to decide on or before a future date (within nine months of the date of issue) whether to enter into a contract. If the holder decides not to enter into the contract, all that is lost is the amount (premium) paid for the option. Further, because the value of the option is fixed at the point of sale, there are no daily payments of cash to reflect the change in the value of the underlying contract. However, since an option gives the buyer the right to enter into a contract at a set price for a fixed period of time, its value does change daily.

One of the risks in buying an option on a futures contract is the loss of the premium paid for the option. The risk involved in writing options on futures contracts an investor owns, or on securities held in its portfolio, is that there could be an increase in the market value of these contracts or securities. If that occurred, the option would be exercised and the asset sold at a lower price than the cash market price. To some extent, the risk of not realizing a gain could be reduced by entering into a closing transaction. An investor could enter into a closing transaction by purchasing an option with the same terms as the one previously sold. The cost to close the option and terminate the investor’s obligation, however, might still result in a loss. Further, the investor might not be able to close the option because of insufficient activity in the options market. Purchasing options also limits the use of monies that might otherwise be available for long-term investments.

Options on Indexes. Options on indexes are securities traded on national securities exchanges. An option on an index is similar to an option on a futures contract except all settlements are in cash. A fund exercising a put, for example, would receive the difference between the exercise price and the current index level. Options may also be traded with respect to other types of indexes, such as options on indexes of commodities futures.

Currency Options. Options on currencies are contracts that give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call options) or sell (put options) a specified amount of a currency at a predetermined price (strike price) on or before the option matures (expiry date). Conversely, the seller has the obligation to buy or sell a currency option upon exercise of the option by the purchaser. Currency options are traded either on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 26

Tax and Accounting Treatment. As permitted under federal income tax laws and to the extent a fund is allowed to invest in futures contracts, a fund would intend to identify futures contracts as part of a mixed straddle and not mark them to market, that is, not treat them as having been sold at the end of the year at market value. If a fund is using short futures contracts for hedging purposes, the fund may be required to defer recognizing losses incurred on short futures contracts and on underlying securities. Any losses incurred on securities that are part of a straddle may be deferred to the extent there is unrealized appreciation on the offsetting position until the offsetting position is sold. Federal income tax treatment of gains or losses from transactions in options, options on futures contracts and indexes will depend on whether the option is a section 1256 contract. If the option is a non-equity option, a fund would either make a 1256(d) election and treat the option as a mixed straddle or mark to market the option at fiscal year end and treat the gain/loss as 40% short-term and 60% long-term.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has ruled publicly that an exchange-traded call option is a security for purposes of the 50%-of-assets test and that its issuer is the issuer of the underlying security, not the writer of the option, for purposes of the diversification requirements.

Accounting for futures contracts will be according to generally accepted accounting principles. Initial margin deposits will be recognized as assets due from a broker (a fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contract is open, changes in value of the contract will be recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking to market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments will be made or received depending upon whether gains or losses are incurred. All contracts and options will be valued at the last-quoted sales price on their primary exchange.

Other Risks of Derivatives. The primary risk of derivatives is the same as the risk of the underlying asset, namely that the value of the underlying asset may go up or down. Adverse movements in the value of an underlying asset can expose an investor to losses. Derivative instruments may include elements of leverage and, accordingly, the fluctuation of the value of the derivative instrument in relation to the underlying asset may be magnified. The successful use of derivative instruments depends upon a variety of factors, particularly the investment manager’s ability to predict movements of the securities, currencies, and commodity markets, which requires different skills than predicting changes in the prices of individual securities. There can be no assurance that any particular strategy will succeed.

Another risk is the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of a counterparty to comply with the terms of a derivative instrument. The counterparty risk for exchange-traded derivative instruments is generally less than for privately-negotiated or OTC derivative instruments, since generally a clearing agency, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded instrument, provides a guarantee of performance. For privately-negotiated instruments, there is no similar clearing agency guarantee. In all transactions, an investor will bear the risk that the counterparty will default, and this could result in a loss of the expected benefit of the derivative transaction and possibly other losses.

When a derivative transaction is used to completely hedge another position, changes in the market value of the combined position (the derivative instrument plus the position being hedged) result from an imperfect correlation between the price movements of the two instruments. With a perfect hedge, the value of the combined position remains unchanged for any change in the price of the underlying asset. With an imperfect hedge, the values of the derivative instrument and its hedge are not perfectly correlated. For example, if the value of a derivative instrument used in a short hedge (such as writing a call option, buying a put option, or selling a futures contract) increased by less than the decline in value of the hedged investment, the hedge would not be perfectly correlated. Such a lack of correlation might occur due to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as speculative or other pressures on the markets in which these instruments are traded.

Derivatives also are subject to the risk that they cannot be sold, closed out, or replaced quickly at or very close to their fundamental value. Generally, exchange contracts are very liquid because the exchange clearinghouse is the counterparty of every contract. OTC transactions are less liquid than exchange-traded derivatives since they often can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.

Another risk is caused by the legal unenforcibility of a party’s obligations under the derivative. A counterparty that has lost money in a derivative transaction may try to avoid payment by exploiting various legal uncertainties about certain derivative products.

(See also Foreign Currency Transactions.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with derivative instruments include: Derivatives Risk and Liquidity Risk.

Exchange-Traded Funds

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) represent shares of ownership in funds, unit investment trusts or depositary receipts. ETFs hold portfolios of securities that are designed to replicate, as closely as possible before expenses, the price and yield of a


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 27

specified market index. The performance results of ETFs will not replicate exactly the performance of the pertinent index due to transaction and other expenses, including fees to service providers, borne by ETFs. ETF shares are sold and redeemed at net asset value only in large blocks called creation units and redemption units, respectively. The funds’ ability to redeem redemption units may be limited by the 1940 Act, which provides that ETFs will not be obligated to redeem shares held by the funds in an amount exceeding one percent of their total outstanding securities during any period of less than 30 days. There is a risk that Underlying ETFs in which a fund invests may terminate due to extraordinary events. ETF shares also may be purchased and sold in secondary market trading on national securities exchanges, which allows investors to purchase and sell ETF shares at their market price throughout the day.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, investments in ETFs involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the types of securities included in the indices the ETFs are designed to replicate, including Market Risk. ETFs generally use a “passive” investment strategy and will not attempt to take defensive positions in volatile or declining markets. Shares of an ETF may trade at a market price that is less than their net asset value and an active trading market in such shares may not develop or continue and may be halted or interrupted due to actions by its listing exchange, unusual market conditions or other reasons. For example, any of the service providers to ETFs, such as the trustee or sponsor, may close or otherwise fail to perform their obligations to the ETF, and the ETF may not be able to find a substitute service provider. Also, ETFs may be dependent upon licenses to use the various indices as a basis for determining their compositions and/or otherwise to use certain trade names. If these licenses are terminated, the ETFs may also terminate. In addition, an ETF may terminate if its net assets fall below a certain amount. Although the funds believe that, in the event of the termination of an ETF, they will be able to invest instead in shares of an alternate ETF tracking the same market index or another index covering the same general market, there can be no assurance that shares of an alternate ETF would be available for investment at that time. There can be no assurance an ETF’s shares will continue to be listed on an active exchange. Finally, there can be no assurance that the portfolio of securities purchased by an ETF to replicate a particular index will replicate such index.

Generally, under the 1940 Act, a fund may not acquire shares of another investment company (including ETFs) if, immediately after such acquisition, (i) such fund would hold more than 3% of the other investment company’s total outstanding shares, (ii) if such fund’s investment in securities of the other investment company would be more than 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund, or (iii) if more than 10% of such fund’s total assets would be invested in investment companies. The SEC has granted orders for exemptive relief to certain ETFs that permit investments in those ETFs by other investment companies in excess of these limits.

ETFs, because they invest in other securities (e.g., common stocks of small-, mid- and large capitalization companies (U.S. and foreign, including, for example, real estate investment trusts and emerging markets securities) and fixed income securities), are subject to the risks of investment associated with these and other types of investments, as described in this SAI.

Floating Rate Loans

Most floating rate loans are acquired directly from the agent bank or from another holder of the loan by assignment. Most such loans are secured, and most impose restrictive covenants which must be met by the borrower. These loans are typically made by a syndicate of banks and institutional investors, represented by an agent bank which has negotiated and structured the loan and which is responsible generally for collecting interest, principal, and other amounts from the borrower on its own behalf and on behalf of the other lending institutions in the syndicate, and for enforcing its and their other rights against the borrower. Each of the lending institutions, including the agent bank, lends to the borrower a portion of the total amount of the loan, and retains the corresponding interest in the loan. Floating rate loans may include delayed draw term loans and prefunded or synthetic letters of credit.

A fund’s ability to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts in connection with loans held by it will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The failure by the fund to receive scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan would adversely affect the income of the fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets, which would be reflected in a reduction in the fund’s net asset value. Banks and other lending institutions generally perform a credit analysis of the borrower before originating a loan or purchasing an assignment in a loan. In selecting the loans in which the fund will invest, however, the investment manager will not rely on that credit analysis of the agent bank, but will perform its own investment analysis of the borrowers. The investment manager’s analysis may include consideration of the borrower’s financial strength and managerial experience, debt coverage, additional borrowing requirements or debt maturity schedules, changing financial conditions, and responsiveness to changes in business conditions and interest rates. The majority of loans the fund will invest in will be rated by one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Investments in loans may be of any quality, including “distressed” loans, and will be subject to the fund’s credit quality policy.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 28

Loans may be structured in different forms, including assignments and participations. In an assignment, a fund purchases an assignment of a portion of a lender’s interest in a loan. In this case, the fund may be required generally to rely upon the assigning bank to demand payment and enforce its rights against the borrower, but would otherwise be entitled to all of such bank’s rights in the loan.

The borrower of a loan may, either at its own election or pursuant to terms of the loan documentation, prepay amounts of the loan from time to time. There is no assurance that a fund will be able to reinvest the proceeds of any loan prepayment at the same interest rate or on the same terms as those of the original loan.

Corporate loans in which a fund may purchase a loan assignment are made generally to finance internal growth, mergers, acquisitions, recapitalizations, stock repurchases, leveraged buy-outs, dividend payments to sponsors and other corporate activities. The highly leveraged capital structure of certain borrowers may make such loans especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic or market conditions. The fund may hold investments in loans for a very short period of time when opportunities to resell the investments that the investment manager believes are attractive arise.

Certain of the loans acquired by a fund may involve revolving credit facilities under which a borrower may from time to time borrow and repay amounts up to the maximum amount of the facility. In such cases, the fund would have an obligation to advance its portion of such additional borrowings upon the terms specified in the loan assignment. To the extent that the fund is committed to make additional loans under such an assignment, it will at all times designate cash or securities in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments.

Notwithstanding its intention in certain situations to not receive material, non-public information with respect to its management of investments in floating rate loans, the investment manager may from time to time come into possession of material, non-public information about the issuers of loans that may be held in a fund’s portfolio. Possession of such information may in some instances occur despite the investment manager’s efforts to avoid such possession, but in other instances the investment manager may choose to receive such information (for example, in connection with participation in a creditors’ committee with respect to a financially distressed issuer). As, and to the extent, required by applicable law, the investment manager’s ability to trade in these loans for the account of the fund could potentially be limited by its possession of such information. Such limitations on the investment manager’s ability to trade could have an adverse effect on the fund by, for example, preventing the fund from selling a loan that is experiencing a material decline in value. In some instances, these trading restrictions could continue in effect for a substantial period of time.

In some instances, other accounts managed by the investment manager may hold other securities issued by borrowers whose floating rate loans may be held in a fund’s portfolio. These other securities may include, for example, debt securities that are subordinate to the floating rate loans held in the fund’s portfolio, convertible debt or common or preferred equity securities. In certain circumstances, such as if the credit quality of the issuer deteriorates, the interests of holders of these other securities may conflict with the interests of the holders of the issuer’s floating rate loans. In such cases, the investment manager may owe conflicting fiduciary duties to the fund and other client accounts. The investment manager will endeavor to carry out its obligations to all of its clients to the fullest extent possible, recognizing that in some cases certain clients may achieve a lower economic return, as a result of these conflicting client interests, than if the investment manager’s client accounts collectively held only a single category of the issuer’s securities.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with floating rate loans include: Credit Risk and Prepayment and Extension Risk.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Investments in foreign securities usually involve currencies of foreign countries. In addition, a fund may hold cash and cash equivalent investments in foreign currencies. As a result, the value of a fund’s assets as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Also, a fund may incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time causing a fund’s NAV (Net Asset Value) to fluctuate. Currency exchange rates are generally determined by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets, actual or anticipated changes in interest rates, and other complex factors. Currency exchange rates also can be affected by the intervention of U.S. or foreign governments or central banks, or the failure to intervene, or by currency controls or political developments.

Spot Rates and Derivative Instruments. A fund may conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either at the spot (cash) rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or by entering into forward currency exchange contracts (forward contracts). (See also Derivative Instruments.) These contracts are traded in the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. Because foreign currency transactions occurring in the interbank market might involve substantially larger amounts than those involved in the use of such derivative


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 29

instruments, a fund could be disadvantaged by having to deal in the odd lot market for the underlying foreign currencies at prices that are less favorable than for round lots.

A fund may enter into forward contracts for a variety of reasons, but primarily it will enter into such contracts for risk management (hedging) or for investment purposes.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to settle a security transaction or handle dividend and interest collection. When a fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency or has been notified of a dividend or interest payment, it may desire to lock in the price of the security or the amount of the payment, usually in U.S. dollars, although it could desire to lock in the price of the security in another currency. By entering into a forward contract, a fund would be able to protect itself against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between different currencies from the date the security is purchased or sold to the date on which payment is made or received or when the dividend or interest is actually received.

A fund may enter into forward contracts when management of the fund believes the currency of a particular foreign country may decline in value relative to another currency. When selling currencies forward in this fashion, a fund may seek to hedge the value of foreign securities it holds against an adverse move in exchange rates. The precise matching of forward contract amounts and the value of securities involved generally will not be possible since the future value of securities in foreign currencies more than likely will change between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it matures. The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult and successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Unless specifically permitted, a fund would not enter into such forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts when consummating the contracts would obligate it to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of its securities or other assets denominated in that currency.

This method of protecting the value of the fund’s securities against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply establishes a rate of exchange that can be achieved at some point in time. Although forward contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in value of hedged currency, they tend to limit any potential gain that might result should the value of such currency increase.

A fund may also enter into forward contracts when its management believes the currency of a particular country will increase in value relative to another currency. A fund may buy currencies forward to gain exposure to a currency without incurring the additional costs of purchasing securities denominated in that currency.

Absolute Return Currency and Income Fund is designed to invest in a combination of forward currency contracts and U.S. dollar-denominated market instruments in an attempt to obtain an investment result that is substantially the same as a direct investment in a foreign currency-denominated instrument. For example, the combination of U.S. dollar-denominated instruments with long forward currency exchange contracts creates a position economically equivalent to a position in the foreign currency, in anticipation of an increase in the value of the foreign currency against the U.S. dollar. Conversely, the combination of U.S. dollar-denominated instruments with short forward currency exchange contracts is economically equivalent to borrowing the foreign currency for delivery at a specified date in the future, in anticipation of a decrease in the value of the foreign currency against the U.S. dollar. This strategy may also be employed by other funds. Unanticipated changes in the currency exchange results could result in poorer performance for funds that enter into these types of transactions.

A fund may designate cash or securities in an amount equal to the value of the fund’s total assets committed to consummating forward contracts entered into under the circumstance set forth above. If the value of the securities declines, additional cash or securities will be designated on a daily basis so that the value of the cash or securities will equal the amount of the fund’s commitments on such contracts.

At maturity of a forward contract, a fund may either deliver (if a contract to sell) or take delivery of (if a contract to buy) the foreign currency or terminate its contractual obligation by entering into an offsetting contract with the same currency trader, the same maturity date, and covering the same amount of foreign currency.

If a fund engages in an offsetting transaction, it would incur a gain or loss to the extent there has been movement in forward contract prices. If a fund engages in an offsetting transaction, it may subsequently enter into a new forward contract to buy or sell the foreign currency.

Although a fund values its assets each business day in terms of U.S. dollars, it may not intend to convert its foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. It would do so from time to time, and shareholders should be aware of currency conversion costs. Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion, they do realize a profit based on the difference (spread) between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to a fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should a fund desire to resell that currency to the dealer.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 30

For Absolute Return Currency and Income Fund, it is possible, under certain circumstances, including entering into forward currency contracts for investment purposes, that the fund may have to limit or restructure its forward contract currency transactions to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code.

Options on Foreign Currencies. A fund may buy put and call options and write covered call and cash-secured put options on foreign currencies for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies. For example, a decline in the dollar value of a foreign currency in which securities are denominated will reduce the dollar value of such securities, even if their value in the foreign currency remains constant. In order to protect against the diminutions in the value of securities, a fund may buy put options on the foreign currency. If the value of the currency does decline, a fund would have the right to sell the currency for a fixed amount in dollars and would offset, in whole or in part, the adverse effect on its portfolio that otherwise would have resulted.

Conversely, where a change in the dollar value of a currency would increase the cost of securities a fund plans to buy, or where a fund would benefit from increased exposure to the currency, a fund may buy call options on the foreign currency. The purchase of the options could offset, at least partially, the changes in exchange rates.

As in the case of other types of options, however, the benefit to a fund derived from purchases of foreign currency options would be reduced by the amount of the premium and related transaction costs. In addition, where currency exchange rates do not move in the direction or to the extent anticipated, a fund could sustain losses on transactions in foreign currency options that would require it to forego a portion or all of the benefits of advantageous changes in rates.

A fund may write options on foreign currencies for the same types of purposes. For example, when a fund anticipates a decline in the dollar value of foreign-denominated securities due to adverse fluctuations in exchange rates it could, instead of purchasing a put option, write a call option on the relevant currency. If the expected decline occurs, the option would most likely not be exercised and the diminution in value of securities would be fully or partially offset by the amount of the premium received.

Similarly, instead of purchasing a call option when a foreign currency is expected to appreciate, a fund could write a put option on the relevant currency. If rates move in the manner projected, the put option would expire unexercised and allow the fund to hedge increased cost up to the amount of the premium.

As in the case of other types of options, however, the writing of a foreign currency option will constitute only a partial hedge up to the amount of the premium, and only if rates move in the expected direction. If this does not occur, the option may be exercised and the fund would be required to buy or sell the underlying currency at a loss that may not be offset by the amount of the premium. Through the writing of options on foreign currencies, the fund also may be required to forego all or a portion of the benefits that might otherwise have been obtained from favorable movements on exchange rates.

All options written on foreign currencies will be covered. An option written on foreign currencies is covered if a fund holds currency sufficient to cover the option or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that currency without additional cash consideration upon conversion of assets denominated in that currency or exchange of other currency held in its portfolio. An option writer could lose amounts substantially in excess of its initial investments, due to the margin and collateral requirements associated with such positions.

Options on foreign currencies are traded through financial institutions acting as market-makers, although foreign currency options also are traded on certain national securities exchanges, such as the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange, subject to SEC regulation. In an over-the-counter trading environment, many of the protections afforded to exchange participants will not be available. For example, there are no daily price fluctuation limits, and adverse market movements could therefore continue to an unlimited extent over a period of time. Although the purchaser of an option cannot lose more than the amount of the premium plus related transaction costs, this entire amount could be lost.

Foreign currency option positions entered into on a national securities exchange are cleared and guaranteed by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Further, a liquid secondary market in options traded on a national securities exchange may be more readily available than in the over-the-counter market, potentially permitting a fund to liquidate open positions at a profit prior to exercise or expiration, or to limit losses in the event of adverse market movements.

The purchase and sale of exchange-traded foreign currency options, however, is subject to the risks of availability of a liquid secondary market described above, as well as the risks regarding adverse market movements, margining of options written, the nature of the foreign currency market, possible intervention by governmental authorities and the effects of other political and economic events. In addition, exchange-traded options on foreign currencies involve certain risks not presented by the over-the-counter market. For example, exercise and settlement of such options must be made exclusively through the OCC, which has established banking relationships in certain foreign countries for that purpose. As a result, the OCC may, if it determines that foreign governmental restrictions or taxes would prevent the orderly settlement of foreign currency option


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 31

exercises, or would result in undue burdens on OCC or its clearing member, impose special procedures on exercise and settlement, such as technical changes in the mechanics of delivery of currency, the fixing of dollar settlement prices or prohibitions on exercise.

Foreign Currency Futures and Related Options. A fund may enter into currency futures contracts to buy or sell currencies. It also may buy put and call options and write covered call and cash-secured put options on currency futures. Currency futures contracts are similar to currency forward contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures call for payment of delivery in U.S. dollars. A fund may use currency futures for the same purposes as currency forward contracts, subject to CFTC limitations.

Currency futures and options on futures values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but will not reflect other factors that may affect the value of the fund’s investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated bond against a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against price decline if the issuer’s creditworthiness deteriorates. Because the value of a fund’s investments denominated in foreign currency will change in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of a forward contract to the value of a fund’s investments denominated in that currency over time.

A fund will hold securities or other options or futures positions whose values are expected to offset its obligations. The fund would not enter into an option or futures position that exposes the fund to an obligation to another party unless it owns either (i) an offsetting position in securities or (ii) cash, receivables and short-term debt securities with a value sufficient to cover its potential obligations. (See also Derivative Instruments and Foreign Securities.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with foreign currency transactions include: Derivatives Risk, Interest Rate Risk, and Liquidity Risk.

Foreign Securities

Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations involve special risks, including those set forth below, which are not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. Foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Additionally, many foreign stock markets, while growing in volume of trading activity, have substantially less volume than the New York Stock Exchange, and securities of some foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than securities of domestic companies. Similarly, volume and liquidity in most foreign bond markets are less than the volume and liquidity in the U.S. and, at times, volatility of price can be greater than in the U.S. Further, foreign markets have different clearance, settlement, registration, and communication procedures and in certain markets there have been times when settlements have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions making it difficult to conduct such transactions. Delays in such procedures could result in temporary periods when assets are uninvested and no return is earned on them. The inability of an investor to make intended security purchases due to such problems could cause the investor to miss attractive investment opportunities.

Payment for securities without delivery may be required in certain foreign markets and, when participating in new issues, some foreign countries require payment to be made in advance of issuance (at the time of issuance, the market value of the security may be more or less than the purchase price). Some foreign markets also have compulsory depositories (i.e., an investor does not have a choice as to where the securities are held). Fixed commissions on some foreign stock exchanges are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges. Further, an investor may encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies and obtain judgments in foreign courts. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the U.S. It may be more difficult for an investor’s agents to keep currently informed about corporate actions such as stock dividends or other matters that may affect the prices of portfolio securities. Communications between the U.S. and foreign countries may be less reliable than within the U.S., thus increasing the risk of delays or loss of certificates for portfolio securities. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of nationalization, expropriation, the imposition of additional withholding or confiscatory taxes, political, social, or economic instability, diplomatic developments that could affect investments in those countries, or other unforeseen actions by regulatory bodies (such as changes to settlement or custody procedures).

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets, which may have relatively unstable governments, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of securities.

The introduction of a single currency, the euro, on Jan. 1, 1999 for participating European nations in the Economic and Monetary Union (EU) presents unique uncertainties, including the legal treatment of certain outstanding financial contracts after Jan. 1, 1999 that refer to existing currencies rather than the euro; the establishment and maintenance of exchange rates; the fluctuation of the euro relative to non-euro currencies; whether the interest rate, tax or labor regimes of European


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 32

countries participating in the euro will converge over time; and whether the admission of other countries such as Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania as members of the EU may have an impact on the euro.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with foreign securities include: Foreign/Emerging Markets Risk and Issuer Risk.

Funding Agreements

A fund may invest in funding agreements issued by domestic insurance companies. Funding agreements are short-term, privately placed, debt obligations of insurance companies that offer a fixed- or floating-rate of interest. These investments are not readily marketable and therefore are considered to be illiquid securities. (See also Illiquid and Restricted Securities.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with funding agreements include: Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk.

High-Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bonds)

High yield (high-risk) debt securities are sometimes referred to as junk bonds. They are non-investment grade (lower quality) securities that have speculative characteristics. Lower quality securities, while generally offering higher yields than investment grade securities with similar maturities, involve greater risks, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy. They are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The special risk considerations in connection with investments in these securities are discussed below.

See Appendix A for a discussion of securities ratings. (See also Debt Obligations.)

All fixed rate interest-bearing securities typically experience appreciation when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise. The market values of lower-quality and comparable unrated securities tend to reflect individual corporate developments to a greater extent than do higher rated securities, which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Lower-quality and comparable unrated securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than are higher-rated securities. As a result, they generally involve more credit risks than securities in the higher-rated categories. During an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers of lower-quality securities may experience financial stress and may not have sufficient revenues to meet their payment obligations. The issuer’s ability to service its debt obligations also may be adversely affected by specific corporate developments, the issuer’s inability to meet specific projected business forecasts, or the unavailability of additional financing. The risk of loss due to default by an issuer of these securities is significantly greater than a default by issuers of higher-rated securities because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors. Further, if the issuer of a lower quality security defaulted, an investor might incur additional expenses to seek recovery.

Credit ratings issued by credit rating agencies are designed to evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments of rated securities. They do not, however, evaluate the market value risk of lower-quality securities and, therefore, may not fully reflect the true risks of an investment. In addition, credit rating agencies may or may not make timely changes in a rating to reflect changes in the economy or in the condition of the issuer that affect the market value of the securities. Consequently, credit ratings are used only as a preliminary indicator of investment quality.

An investor may have difficulty disposing of certain lower-quality and comparable unrated securities because there may be a thin trading market for such securities. Because not all dealers maintain markets in all lower quality and comparable unrated securities, there is no established retail secondary market for many of these securities. To the extent a secondary trading market does exist, it is generally not as liquid as the secondary market for higher-rated securities. The lack of a liquid secondary market may have an adverse impact on the market price of the security. The lack of a liquid secondary market for certain securities also may make it more difficult for an investor to obtain accurate market quotations. Market quotations are generally available on many lower-quality and comparable unrated issues only from a limited number of dealers and may not necessarily represent firm bids of such dealers or prices for actual sales.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with high-yield debt securities include: Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, and Prepayment and Extension Risk.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities

Illiquid securities are securities that are not readily marketable. These securities may include, but are not limited to, certain securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, certain repurchase agreements, and derivative instruments. To the extent a fund invests in illiquid or restricted securities, it may encounter difficulty in determining a market value for the securities. Disposing of illiquid or restricted securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and legal expense, and it may be difficult or impossible for a fund to sell the investment promptly and at an acceptable price.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 33

In determining the liquidity of all securities and derivatives, such as Rule 144A securities, which are unregistered securities offered to qualified institutional buyers, and interest-only and principal-only fixed mortgage-backed securities (IOs and POs) issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities the investment manager, under guidelines established by the Board, will consider any relevant factors including the frequency of trades, the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the nature of marketplace trades.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with illiquid and restricted securities include: Liquidity Risk.

Indexed Securities

The value of indexed securities is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indexes, or other financial indicators. Most indexed securities are short- to intermediate-term fixed income securities whose values at maturity or interest rates rise or fall according to the change in one or more specified underlying instruments. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instrument itself and they may be less liquid than the securities represented by the index. (See also Derivative Instruments.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with indexed securities include: Liquidity Risk and Market Risk.

Inflation Protected Securities

Inflation is a general rise in prices of goods and services. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of an investor’s assets. For example, if an investment provides a total return of 7% in a given year and inflation is 3% during that period, the inflation-adjusted, or real, return is 4%. Inflation-protected securities are debt securities whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. One type of inflation-protected debt security is issued by the U.S. Treasury. The principal of these securities is adjusted for inflation as indicated by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI) and interest is paid on the adjusted amount. The CPI is a measurement of changes in the cost of living, made up of components such as housing, food, transportation and energy.

If the CPI falls, the principal value of inflation-protected securities will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Conversely, if the CPI rises, the principal value of inflation-protected securities will be adjusted upward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities will be increased. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the inflation-protected securities is not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Other inflation-indexed securities include inflation-related bonds, which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Other issuers of inflation-protected debt securities include other U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, corporations and foreign governments. There can be no assurance that the CPI or any foreign inflation index will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the rate of inflation in a foreign country will be correlated to the rate of inflation in the United States.

If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in currency exchange rates), investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s inflation measure.

Any increase in principal for an inflation-protected security resulting from inflation adjustments is considered by IRS regulations to be taxable income in the year it occurs. For direct holders of an inflation-protected security, this means that taxes must be paid on principal adjustments even though these amounts are not received until the bond matures. By contrast, a fund holding these securities distributes both interest income and the income attributable to principal adjustments in the form of cash or reinvested shares, which are taxable to shareholders.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with inflation-protected securities include: Interest Rate Risk and Market Risk.

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)

Companies issuing IPOs generally have limited operating histories, and their prospects for future profitability are uncertain. These companies often are engaged in new and evolving businesses and are particularly vulnerable to competition and to changes in technology, markets and economic conditions. They may be dependent on certain key managers and third parties, need more personnel and other resources to manage growth and require significant additional capital. They may also be dependent on limited product lines and uncertain property rights and need regulatory approvals. Funds that invest in IPOs can be affected by sales of additional shares and by concentration of control in existing management and principal


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 34

shareholders. Stock prices of IPOs can also be highly unstable, due to the absence of a prior public market, the small number of shares available for trading and limited investor information. Most IPOs involve a high degree of risk not normally associated with offerings of more seasoned companies.

Although one or more risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with IPOs include: Small and Mid-Sized Company Risk and Initial Public Offering (IPO) Risk.

Inverse Floaters

Inverse floaters or inverse floating rate securities are a type of derivative long-term fixed income obligation with a floating or variable interest rate that moves in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates. As short-term interest rates go down, the holders of the inverse floaters receive more income and, as short-term interest rates go up, the holders of the inverse floaters receive less income. As with all long-term fixed income securities, the price of the inverse floater moves inversely with long-term interest rates; as long-term interest rates go down, the price of the inverse floater moves up and, when long-term interest rates go up, the price of the inverse floater moves down. While inverse floater securities tend to provide more income than similar term and credit quality fixed-rate bonds, they also exhibit greater volatility in price movement (both up and down).

In the municipal market an inverse floater is typically created when the owner of a municipal fixed rate bond transfers that bond to a trust in exchange for cash and a residual interest in the trust’s assets and cash flows (inverse floater certificates). The trust funds the purchase of the bond by issuing two classes of certificates: short-term floating rate notes (typically sold to third parties) and the inverse floaters (also known as residual certificates). No additional income beyond that provided by the trust’s underlying bond is created; rather, that income is merely divided-up between the two classes of certificates. The holder of the inverse floating rate securities typically has the right to (1) cause the holders of the short-term floating rate notes to tender their notes at par ($100) and (2) to return the inverse floaters and withdraw the underlying bonds, thereby collapsing the trust. (See also Derivative Instruments.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with transactions in inverse floaters include: Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Market Risk.

Investment Companies

Investing in securities issued by registered and unregistered investment companies may involve the duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with the securities of other investment companies include: Market Risk.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

To generate additional income, a fund may lend up to one-third of the value of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks or other institutional borrowers of securities. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as lending agent (the Lending Agent) to the funds pursuant to a securities lending agreement (the Securities Lending Agreement) approved by the Board.

Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Lending Agent loans securities to approved borrowers pursuant to borrower agreements in exchange for collateral equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Collateral may consist of cash, securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities (collectively, “U.S. government securities”) or such other collateral as may be approved by the Board. For loans secured by cash, the fund retains the interest earned on cash collateral investments, but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. For loans secured by U.S. government securities, the borrower pays a borrower fee to the Lending Agent on behalf of the fund. If the market value of the loaned securities goes up, the Lending Agent will request additional collateral from the borrower. If the market value of the loaned securities goes down, the borrower may request that some collateral be returned. During the existence of the loan, the lender will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts.

Loans are subject to termination by a fund or a borrower at any time. A fund may choose to terminate a loan in order to vote in a proxy solicitation if the fund has knowledge of a material event to be voted on that would affect the fund’s investment in the loaned security.

Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that a borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the loaned securities in a timely manner. Counterparty risk also includes a potential loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the Lending Agent defaults or fails financially. This risk is increased if a fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. There are no limits on the number of borrowers a fund may use and a fund may lend securities to only one or a small group of borrowers. Funds participating in securities lending also bear


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 35

the risk of loss in connection with investments of cash collateral received from the borrowers. Cash collateral is invested in accordance with investment guidelines contained in the Securities Lending Agreement and approved by the Board. To the extent that the value or return of a fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, a fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. The Lending Agent will indemnify a fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due, but such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. The investment manager is not responsible for any loss incurred by the funds in connection with the securities lending program.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with the lending of portfolio securities include: Credit Risk.

Loan Participations

Loans, loan participations, and interests in securitized loan pools are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to a lender or consortium of lenders (typically banks, insurance companies, investment banks, government agencies, or international agencies). Loans involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to an investor in the event of fraud or misrepresentation.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with loan participations include: Credit Risk.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities

Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property, and include single- and multi-class pass-through securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). These securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (see also Agency and Government Securities), or by private issuers, generally originators and investors in mortgage loans, including savings associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, investment bankers, and special purpose entities. Mortgage-backed securities issued by private lenders may be supported by pools of mortgage loans or other mortgage-backed securities that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any governmental guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but with some form of non-governmental credit enhancement. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) are a specific type of mortgage-backed security collateralized by a pool of mortgages on commercial real estate.

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are a type of mortgage-backed security that receive differing proportions of the interest and principal payments from the underlying assets. Generally, there are two classes of stripped mortgage-backed securities: Interest Only (IO) and Principal Only (PO). IOs entitle the holder to receive distributions consisting of all or a portion of the interest on the underlying pool of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. POs entitle the holder to receive distributions consisting of all or a portion of the principal of the underlying pool of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. The cash flows and yields on IOs and POs are extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. A rapid rate of principal payments may adversely affect the yield to maturity of IOs. A slow rate of principal payments may adversely affect the yield to maturity of POs. If prepayments of principal are greater than anticipated, an investor in IOs may incur substantial losses. If prepayments of principal are slower than anticipated, the yield on a PO will be affected more severely than would be the case with a traditional mortgage-backed security.

CMOs are hybrid mortgage-related instruments secured by pools of mortgage loans or other mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage pass through securities or stripped mortgage-backed securities. CMOs may be structured into multiple classes, often referred to as “tranches,” with each class bearing a different stated maturity and entitled to a different schedule for payments of principal and interest, including prepayments. Principal prepayments on collateral underlying a CMO may cause it to be retired substantially earlier than its stated maturity. The yield characteristics of mortgage-backed securities differ from those of other debt securities. Among the differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently on mortgage-backed securities, usually monthly, and principal may be repaid at any time. These factors may reduce the expected yield.

Asset-backed securities have structural characteristics similar to mortgage-backed securities. Asset-backed debt obligations represent direct or indirect participation in, or secured by and payable from, assets such as motor vehicle installment sales contracts, other installment loan contracts, home equity loans, leases of various types of property, and receivables from credit card or other revolving credit arrangements. The credit quality of most asset-backed securities depends primarily on the credit quality of the assets underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the security is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement of the securities. Payments or distributions of principal and interest on asset- backed debt obligations may be supported by non-governmental credit enhancements including letters of credit, reserve funds, overcollateralization, and guarantees by third parties. The


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 36

market for privately issued asset-backed debt obligations is smaller and less liquid than the market for government sponsored mortgage-backed securities. (See also Derivative Instruments.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with mortgage and asset-backed securities include: Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Liquidity Risk, and Prepayment and Extension Risk.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls

Mortgage dollar rolls are investments in which an investor sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date. While an investor foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities during the roll period, the investor is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the lower price for the future purchase as well as by any interest earned on the proceeds of the initial sale. The investor also could be compensated through the receipt of fee income equivalent to a lower forward price.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with mortgage dollar rolls include: Credit Risk and Interest Rate Risk.

Municipal Obligations

Municipal obligations include debt obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories, possessions, or sovereign nations within the territorial boundaries of the United States (including the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico). The interest on these obligations is generally exempt from federal income tax. Municipal obligations are generally classified as either “general obligations” or “revenue obligations.”

General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of interest and principal. Revenue bonds are payable only from the revenues derived from a project or facility or from the proceeds of a specified revenue source. Industrial development bonds are generally revenue bonds secured by payments from and the credit of private users. Municipal notes are issued to meet the short-term funding requirements of state, regional, and local governments. Municipal notes include tax anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes, construction loan notes, short-term discount notes, tax-exempt commercial paper, demand notes, and similar instruments.

Municipal lease obligations may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sales contract. They are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land, equipment, and facilities. An investor may purchase these obligations directly, or it may purchase participation interests in such obligations. Municipal leases may be subject to greater risks than general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet in order to issue municipal obligations. Municipal leases may contain a covenant by the state or municipality to budget for and make payments due under the obligation. Certain municipal leases may, however, provide that the issuer is not obligated to make payments on the obligation in future years unless funds have been appropriated for this purpose each year.

Yields on municipal bonds and notes depend on a variety of factors, including money market conditions, municipal bond market conditions, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation, and the rating of the issue. The municipal bond market has a large number of different issuers, many having smaller sized bond issues, and a wide choice of different maturities within each issue. For these reasons, most municipal bonds do not trade on a daily basis and many trade only rarely. Because many of these bonds trade infrequently, the spread between the bid and offer may be wider and the time needed to develop a bid or an offer may be longer than other security markets. See Appendix A for a discussion of securities ratings. (See also Debt Obligations.)

Taxable Municipal Obligations. There is another type of municipal obligation that is subject to federal income tax for a variety of reasons. These municipal obligations do not qualify for the federal income exemption because (a) they did not receive necessary authorization for tax-exempt treatment from state or local government authorities, (b) they exceed certain regulatory limitations on the cost of issuance for tax-exempt financing or (c) they finance public or private activities that do not qualify for the federal income tax exemption. These non-qualifying activities might include, for example, certain types of multi-family housing, certain professional and local sports facilities, refinancing of certain municipal debt, and borrowing to replenish a municipality’s underfunded pension plan.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with municipal obligations include: Credit Risk, Inflation Risk, Interest Rate Risk, and Market Risk.

Preferred Stock

Preferred stock is a type of stock that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. Preferred stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights.

The price of a preferred stock is generally determined by earnings, type of products or services, projected growth rates, experience of management, liquidity, and general market conditions of the markets on which the stock trades.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with preferred stock include: Issuer Risk and Market Risk.

Real Estate Investment Trusts

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are pooled investment vehicles that manage a portfolio of real estate or real estate related loans to earn profits for their shareholders. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, such as shopping centers, nursing homes, office buildings, apartment complexes, and hotels, and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments. REITs can be subject to extreme volatility due to fluctuations in the demand for real estate, changes in interest rates, and adverse economic conditions. Similar to investment companies, REITs are not taxed on income distributed to shareholders provided they comply with certain requirements under the tax law. The failure of a REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes can materially affect its value. A fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any expenses paid by a REIT in which it invests.

REITs often do not provide complete tax information until after the calendar year-end. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for a fund investing in REITs to request permission to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV beyond January 31. In the alternative, amended Forms 1099-DIV may be sent.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with REITs include: Interest Rate Risk, Issuer Risk and Market Risk.

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements may be entered into with certain banks or non-bank dealers. In a repurchase agreement, the purchaser buys a security at one price, and at the time of sale, the seller agrees to repurchase the obligation at a mutually agreed upon time and price (usually within seven days). The repurchase agreement determines the yield during the purchaser’s holding period, while the seller’s obligation to repurchase is secured by the value of the underlying security. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of a default or insolvency of the other party to the agreement, including possible delays or restrictions upon the purchaser’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with repurchase agreements include: Credit Risk.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

In a reverse repurchase agreement, an investor sells a security and enters into an agreement to repurchase the security at a specified future date and price. The investor generally retains the right to interest and principal payments on the security. Since the investor receives cash upon entering into a reverse repurchase agreement, it may be considered a borrowing. (See also Derivative Instruments.)

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with reverse repurchase agreements include: Credit Risk and Interest Rate Risk.

Short Sales

In short-selling transactions, a fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of the security. To complete the transaction, a fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. A fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by a fund, which may result in a loss or gain, respectively. Unlike taking a long position in a security by purchasing the security, where potential losses are limited to the purchase price, short sales have no cap on maximum losses, and gains are limited to the price of the security at the time of the short sale.

Short sales of forward commitments and derivatives do not involve borrowing a security. These types of short sales may include futures, options, contracts for differences, forward contracts on financial instruments and options such as contracts, credit-linked instruments, and swap contracts.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 38

A fund may not always be able to borrow a security it wants to sell short. A fund also may be unable to close out an established short position at an acceptable price and may have to sell long positions at disadvantageous times to cover its short positions. The value of your investment in a fund will fluctuate in response to the movements in the market. Fund performance also will depend on the effectiveness of the investment manager’s research and the management team’s investment decisions.

Short sales also involve other costs. A fund must repay to the lender an amount equal to any dividends or interest that accrues while the loan is outstanding. To borrow the security, a fund may be required to pay a premium. A fund also will incur truncation costs in effecting short sales. The amount of any ultimate gain for a fund resulting from a short sale will be decreased and the amount of any ultimate loss will be increased, by the amount of premiums, interest or expenses a fund may be required to pay in connection with the short sale. Until a fund closes the short position, it will earmark and reserve fund assets, in cash or liquid securities to offset a portion of the leverage risk. Realized gains from short sales are typically treated as short-term gains/losses.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with short sales include: Market Risk and Short Sales Risk.

Sovereign Debt

A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to repay principal and pay interest in a timely manner may be affected by a variety of factors, including its cash flow situation, the extent of its reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor’s policy toward international lenders, and the political constraints to which a sovereign debtor may be subject. (See also Foreign Securities.)

With respect to sovereign debt of emerging market issuers, investors should be aware that certain emerging market countries are among the largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. At times, certain emerging market countries have declared moratoria on the payment of principal and interest on external debt.

Certain emerging market countries have experienced difficulty in servicing their sovereign debt on a timely basis that led to defaults and the restructuring of certain indebtedness.

Sovereign debt includes Brady Bonds, which are securities issued under the framework of the Brady Plan, an initiative announced by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Nicholas F. Brady in 1989 as a mechanism for debtor nations to restructure their outstanding external commercial bank indebtedness.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with sovereign debt include: Credit Risk and Foreign/Emerging Markets Risk.

Structured Investments

A structured investment is a security whose return is tied to an underlying index or to some other security or pool of assets. Structured investments generally are individually negotiated agreements and may be traded over-the-counter. Structured investments are created and operated to restructure the investment characteristics of the underlying security. This restructuring involves the deposit with or purchase by an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments, such as commercial bank loans, and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of debt obligations (“structured securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued structured securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities, and interest rate provisions. The extent of the payments made with respect to structured securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because structured securities typically involve no credit enhancement, their credit risk generally will be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. Structured securities are often offered in different classes. As a result a given class of a structured security may be either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated structured securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated structured securities. Structured securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and at any given time there may be no active trading market for a particular structured security.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with structured investments include: Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk.

Swap Agreements

Swap agreements are typically individually negotiated agreements that obligate two parties to exchange payments based on a reference to a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swap agreements will tend to shift a party’s investment exposure from


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 39

one type of investment to another. A swap agreement can increase or decrease the volatility of a fund’s investments and its net asset value.

Swap agreements are traded in the over-the-counter market and may be considered to be illiquid. Swap agreements entail the risk that a party will default on its payment obligations. A fund will enter into a swap agreement only if the claims-paying ability of the other party or its guarantor is considered to be investment grade by the investment manager. Generally, the unsecured senior debt or the claims-paying ability of the other party or its guarantor must be rated in one of the three highest rating categories of at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) at the time of entering into the transaction. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, a fund will have to rely on its contractual remedies (which may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. In certain circumstances, a fund may seek to minimize counterparty risk by requiring the counterparty to post collateral.

Swap agreements are usually entered into without an upfront payment because the value of each party’s position is the same. The market values of the underlying commitments will change over time resulting in one of the commitments being worth more than the other and the net market value creating a risk exposure for one counterparty or the other.

Interest Rate Swaps. Interest rate swap agreements are often used to obtain or preserve a desired return or spread at a lower cost than through a direct investment in an instrument that yields the desired return or spread. They are financial instruments that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate cash flow for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future. In a standard interest rate swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange their respective commitments to pay fixed or floating rates on a predetermined specified (notional) amount. The swap agreement notional amount is the predetermined basis for calculating the obligations that the swap counterparties have agreed to exchange. Under most swap agreements, the obligations of the parties are exchanged on a net basis. The two payment streams are netted out, with each party receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Interest rate swaps can be based on various measures of interest rates, including LIBOR, swap rates, treasury rates and other foreign interest rates.

Cross Currency Swaps. Cross currency swaps are similar to interest rate swaps, except that they involve multiple currencies. A fund may enter into a currency swap when it has exposure to one currency and desires exposure to a different currency. Typically the interest rates that determine the currency swap payments are fixed, although occasionally one or both parties may pay a floating rate of interest. Unlike an interest rate swap, however, the principal amounts are exchanged at the beginning of the contract and returned at the end of the contract. In addition to paying and receiving amounts at the beginning and termination of the agreements, both sides will also have to pay in full periodically based upon the currency they have borrowed. Change in foreign exchange rates and changes in interest rates, as described above, may negatively affect currency swaps.

Total Return Swaps. Total return swaps are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of the underlying assets, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or security indexes during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate of the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or market. For example, CMBS total return swaps are bilateral financial contracts designed to replicate synthetically the total returns of commercial mortgage-backed securities. In a typical total return equity swap, payments made by the fund or the counterparty are based on the total return of a particular reference asset or assets (such as an equity security, a combination of such securities, or an index). That is, one party agrees to pay another party the return on a stock, basket of stocks, or stock index in return for a specified interest rate. By entering into an equity index swap, for example, the index receiver can gain exposure to stocks making up the index of securities without actually purchasing those stocks. Total return swaps involve not only the risk associated with the investment in the underlying securities, but also the risk of the counterparty not fulfilling its obligations under the agreement.

Swaption Transaction. A swaption is an option on a swap agreement and a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms, in return for payment of the purchase price (the “premium”) of the option. The fund may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions to the same extent it may make use of standard options on securities or other instruments. The writer of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the market value on the underlying swap agreement.

Swaptions can be bundled and sold as a package. These are commonly called interest rate caps, floors and collars. In interest rate cap transactions, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or cap. Interest rate floor transactions require one party, in exchange for a premium to agree to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified level, or floor. In interest rate collar transactions,


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 40

one party sells a cap and purchases a floor, or vice versa, in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels or collar amounts.

Credit Default Swaps. Credit default swaps are contracts in which third party credit risk is transferred from one party to another party by one party, the protection buyer, making payments to the other party, the protection seller, in return for the ability of the protection buyer to deliver a reference obligation, or portfolio of reference obligations, to the protection seller upon the occurrence of certain credit events relating to the issuer of the reference obligation and receive the notional amount of the reference obligation from the protection seller. A fund may use credit default swaps for various purposes including to increase or decrease its credit exposure to various issuers. For example, as a seller in a transaction, a fund could use credit default swaps as a way of increasing investment exposure to a particular issuer’s bonds in lieu of purchasing such bonds directly. Similarly, as a buyer in a transaction, a fund may use credit default swaps to hedge its exposure on bonds that it owns or in lieu of selling such bonds. A credit default swap agreement may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the fund. The fund may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. Credit default swaps may also be structured based on the debt of a basket of issuers, rather than a single issuer, and may be customized with respect to the default event that triggers purchase or other factors. As a seller, the fund generally receives an up front payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap, which typically is between six months and three years, provided that there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, generally the seller must pay the buyer the full face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference obligations that may have little or no value. If the fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the fund recovers nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference obligation that may have little or no value.

Credit default swap agreements can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. A fund will enter into credit default swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. If a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the seller, coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the seller. A fund’s obligations under a credit default swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the fund). In connection with credit default swaps in which a fund is the buyer, the fund will segregate or “earmark” cash or other liquid assets, or enter into certain offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the fund’s exposure (any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed by the fund to any counterparty), on a marked-to-market basis. In connection with credit default swaps in which a fund is the seller, the fund will segregate or “earmark” cash or other liquid assets, or enter into offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the full notional amount of the swap (minus any amounts owed to the fund). Such segregation or “earmarking” will ensure that the fund has assets available to satisfy its obligations with respect to the transaction. Such segregation or “earmarking” will not limit the fund’s exposure to loss.

The use of swap agreements by a fund entails certain risks, which may be different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the securities and other investments that are the referenced asset for the swap agreement. Swaps are highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques, risk analyses, and tax planning different from those associated with stocks, bonds, and other traditional investments. The use of a swap requires an understanding not only of the referenced asset, reference rate, or index, but also of the swap itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the swap under all the possible market conditions. Because some swap agreements have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the swap itself. Certain swaps have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with swaps include: Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Market Risk.

Variable- or Floating-Rate Securities

Variable-rate securities provide for automatic establishment of a new interest rate at fixed intervals (daily, monthly, semiannually, etc.). Floating-rate securities generally provide for automatic adjustment of the interest rate whenever some specified interest rate index changes. Variable- or floating-rate securities frequently include a demand feature enabling the holder to sell the securities to the issuer at par. In many cases, the demand feature can be exercised at any time. Some securities that do not have variable or floating interest rates may be accompanied by puts producing similar results and price characteristics. Variable-rate demand notes include master demand notes that are obligations that permit the investor to invest fluctuating amounts, which may change daily without penalty, pursuant to direct arrangements between the investor as lender, and the borrower. The interest rates on these notes fluctuate from time to time. The issuer of such obligations


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 41

normally has a corresponding right, after a given period, to prepay in its discretion the outstanding principal amount of the obligations plus accrued interest upon a specified number of days’ notice to the holders of such obligations. Because these obligations are direct lending arrangements between the lender and borrower, it is not contemplated that such instruments generally will be traded. There generally is not an established secondary market for these obligations. Accordingly, where these obligations are not secured by letters of credit or other credit support arrangements, the lender’s right to redeem is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest on demand. Such obligations frequently are not rated by credit rating agencies and may involve heightened risk of default by the issuer.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with variable- or floating-rate securities include: Credit Risk.

Warrants

Warrants are securities giving the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the stock of an issuer at a given price (generally higher than the value of the stock at the time of issuance) during a specified period or perpetually. Warrants may be acquired separately or in connection with the acquisition of securities. Warrants do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. Warrants may be considered to have more speculative characteristics than certain other types of investments. In addition, the value of a warrant does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and a warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with warrants include: Market Risk.

When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments

When-issued securities and forward commitments involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Normally, the settlement date occurs within 45 days of the purchase although in some cases settlement may take longer. The investor does not pay for the securities or receive dividends or interest on them until the contractual settlement date. Such instruments involve the risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. If the security is not issued as anticipated, a fund may lose the opportunity to obtain a price and yield considered to be advantageous.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with when-issued securities and forward commitments include: Credit Risk.

Zero-Coupon, Step-Coupon, and Pay-in-Kind Securities

These securities are debt obligations that do not make regular cash interest payments (see also Debt Obligations). Zero-coupon and step-coupon securities are sold at a deep discount to their face value because they do not pay interest until maturity. Pay-in-kind securities pay interest through the issuance of additional securities. Because these securities do not pay current cash income, the price of these securities can be extremely volatile when interest rates fluctuate. See Appendix A for a discussion of securities ratings.

Although one or more of the other risks described in this SAI may apply, the largest risks associated with zero- coupon, step-coupon, and pay-in-kind securities include: Credit Risk and Interest Rate Risk.

A fund cannot issue senior securities but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the fund are set aside, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, delayed-delivery and when-issued securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell options, derivatives, and hedging instruments.

Securities Transactions

Except as otherwise noted, the description of policies and procedures in this section also applies to any fund subadviser. Subject to policies set by the Board, as well as the terms of the investment management services agreements, and subadviser agreements, as applicable, the investment manager or subadviser is authorized to determine, consistent with a fund’s investment objective and policies, which securities will be purchased, held, or sold. In determining where the buy and sell orders are to be placed, the investment manager has been directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available price and the most favorable execution except where otherwise authorized by the Board.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 42

Each fund, the investment manager, any subadviser and Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (principal underwriter and distributor of the funds) (formerly RiverSource Fund Distributors, Inc.) has a strict Code of Ethics that prohibits affiliated personnel from engaging in personal investment activities that compete with or attempt to take advantage of planned portfolio transactions for the fund.

A fund’s securities may be traded on an agency basis with brokers or dealers or on a principal basis with dealers. In an agency trade, the broker-dealer generally is paid a commission. In a principal trade, the investment manager will trade directly with the issuer or with a dealer who buys or sells for its own account, rather than acting on behalf of another client. The investment manager may pay the dealer a commission or instead, the dealer’s profit, if any, is the difference, or spread, between the dealer’s purchase and sale price for the security.

Broker-Dealer Selection

In selecting broker-dealers to execute transactions, the investment manager and each subadviser will consider from among such factors as the ability to minimize trading costs, trading expertise, infrastructure, ability to provide information or services, financial condition, confidentiality, competitiveness of commission rates, evaluations of execution quality, promptness of execution, past history, ability to prospect for and find liquidity, difficulty of trade, security’s trading characteristics, size of order, liquidity of market, block trading capabilities, quality of settlement, specialized expertise, overall responsiveness, willingness to commit capital and research services provided.

The Board has adopted a policy prohibiting the investment manager, or any subadviser, from considering sales of shares of the funds as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers through which to execute securities transactions.

On a periodic basis, the investment manager makes a comprehensive review of the broker-dealers and the overall reasonableness of their commissions, including review by an independent third-party evaluator. The review evaluates execution, operational efficiency, and research services.

Commission Dollars

Broker-dealers typically provide a bundle of services including research and execution of transactions. The research provided can be either proprietary (created and provided by the broker-dealer) or third party (created by a third party but provided by the broker-dealer). Consistent with the interests of the fund, the investment manager and each subadviser may use broker-dealers who provide both types of research products and services in exchange for commissions, known as “soft dollars,” generated by transactions in fund accounts.

The receipt of research and brokerage products and services is used by the investment manager, and by each subadviser, to the extent it engages in such transactions, to supplement its own research and analysis activities, by receiving the views and information of individuals and research staffs of other securities firms, and by gaining access to specialized expertise on individual companies, industries, areas of the economy and market factors. Research and brokerage products and services may include reports on the economy, industries, sectors and individual companies or issuers; statistical information; accounting and tax law interpretations; political analyses; reports on legal developments affecting portfolio securities; information on technical market actions; credit analyses; on-line quotation systems; risk measurement; analyses of corporate responsibility issues; on-line news services; and financial and market database services. Research services may be used by the investment manager in providing advice to multiple accounts, including the funds (or by any subadviser to any other client of the subadviser) even though it is not possible to relate the benefits to any particular account or fund.

On occasion, it may be desirable to compensate a broker for research services or for brokerage services by paying a commission that might not otherwise be charged or a commission in excess of the amount another broker might charge. The Board has adopted a policy authorizing the investment manager to do so, to the extent authorized by law, if the investment manager or subadviser determines, in good faith, that such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research services provided by a broker or dealer, viewed either in the light of that transaction or the investment manager’s or subadviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to a fund and the other funds or accounts for which it acts as investment manager (or by any subadviser to any other client of that subadviser).

As a result of these arrangements, some portfolio transactions may not be effected at the lowest commission, but overall execution may be better. The investment manager and each subadviser have represented that under its procedures the amount of commission paid will be reasonable and competitive in relation to the value of the brokerage services and research products and services provided.

The investment manager or a subadviser may use step-out transactions. A “step-out” is an arrangement in which the investment manager or subadviser executes a trade through one broker-dealer but instructs that broker-dealer to step-out all or a part of the trade to another broker-dealer. The second broker-dealer will clear and settle, and receive commissions for,


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 43

the stepped-out portion. The investment manager or subadviser may receive research products and services in connection with step-out transactions.

Use of fund commissions may create potential conflicts of interest between the investment manager or subadviser and a fund. However, the investment manager and each subadviser has policies and procedures in place intended to mitigate these conflicts and ensure that the use of fund commissions falls within the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Some products and services may be used for both investment decision-making and non-investment decision-making purposes (“mixed use” items). The investment manager and each subadviser, to the extent it has mixed use items, has procedures in place to assure that fund commissions pay only for the investment decision-making portion of a mixed-use item.

Affiliate Transactions

Subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, the fund may enter into transactions in which Ameriprise Financial and/or its affiliates, or companies that are deemed to be affiliates of the fund (e.g., due to, among other factors, their or their affiliates’ ownership or control of shares of the fund) may have an interest that potentially conflicts with the interests of the fund. For example, an affiliate of Ameriprise Financial may sell securities to the fund from an offering in which it is an underwriter or from securities that it owns as a dealer, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Applicable legal and regulatory requirements also may prevent the fund from engaging in transactions with an affiliate of the fund, which may include Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates, or from participating in an investment opportunity in which an affiliate of the fund participates.

Trade Aggregation and Allocation

Generally, orders are processed and executed in the order received. When a fund buys or sells the same security as another portfolio, fund, or account, the investment manager or subadviser carries out the purchase or sale pursuant to policies and procedures designed in such a way believed to be fair to the fund. Purchase and sale orders may be combined or aggregated for more than one account if it is believed it would be consistent with best execution. Aggregation may reduce commission costs or market impact on a per-share and per-dollar basis, although aggregation may have the opposite effect. There may be times when not enough securities are received to fill an aggregated order, including in an initial public offering, involving multiple accounts. In that event, the investment manager and each subadviser has policies and procedures designed in such a way believed to result in a fair allocation among accounts, including the fund.

From time to time, different portfolio managers with the investment manager may make differing investment decisions related to the same security. However, with certain exceptions for funds managed using strictly quantitative methods, a portfolio manager or portfolio management team may not sell a security short if the security is owned in another portfolio managed by that portfolio manager or portfolio management team. On occasion, a fund may purchase and sell a security simultaneously in order to profit from short-term price disparities.

Certain Investment Limitations

From time to time, the investment manager or subadviser for a fund and their respective affiliates (“adviser group”) will be trading in the same securities or be deemed to beneficially hold the same securities. Due to regulatory and other restrictions or limits in various countries or industry- or issuer-specific restrictions or limitations (e.g., poison pills) that restrict the amount of securities or other investments of an issuer that may be held on an aggregate basis by an adviser group, a fund may be limited or prevented from acquiring securities of an issuer that the fund’s adviser may otherwise prefer to purchase. For example, many countries limit the amount of outstanding shares that may be held in a local bank by an adviser group. In these circumstances, a fund may be limited or prevented from purchasing additional shares of a bank if the purchase would put the adviser group over the regulatory limit when the adviser group’s holdings are combined together or with the holdings of the funds’ affiliates, even if the purchases alone on behalf of a specific fund would not be in excess of such limit. Additionally, regulatory and other applicable limits are complex and vary significantly, including, among others, from country to country, industry to industry and issuer to issuer. However, given the complexity of these limits, a fund’s adviser may inadvertently breach these limits, and a fund may be required to sell securities of an issuer in order to be in compliance with such limits even if the fund’s adviser may otherwise prefer to continue to hold such securities. At certain times, the funds may be restricted in their investment activities because of relationships an affiliate of the fund’s, which may include Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates, may have with the issuers of securities.

The investment manager has portfolio management teams in its multiple geographic locations that may share research information regarding leveraged loans. The investment manager operates separate and independent trading desks in these locations for the purpose of purchasing and selling leveraged loans. As a result, the investment manager does not aggregate orders in leveraged loans across portfolio management teams. For example, funds and other client accounts being managed by these portfolio management teams may purchase and sell the same leveraged loan in the secondary market on the same


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 44

day at different times and at different prices. There is also the potential for a particular account or group of accounts, including a fund, to forego an opportunity or to receive a different allocation (either larger or smaller) than might otherwise be obtained if the investment manager were to aggregate trades in leveraged loans across the portfolio management teams. Although the investment manager does not aggregate orders in leveraged loans across its portfolio management teams in the multiple geographic locations, it operates in this structure subject to its duty to seek best execution.

The following table shows total brokerage commissions paid in the last three fiscal periods. Substantially all firms through whom transactions were executed provide research services. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

*		Reported numbers include third party soft dollar commissions and portfolio manager directed commissions directed for research. Columbia Management also receives proprietary research from brokers, but these amounts have not been included in the table.


(a)		The underlying funds may have directed transactions to firms in exchange for research services.


(b)		Higher turnover rates may result in higher brokerage expenses and taxes. The higher turnover rate can be primarily attributed to repositioning the fund to a smaller number of holdings as it worked through risk management and secondarily, market volatility made up the balance of the turnover rate.


(c)		For the period from Feb. 19, 2009 (when shares became publicly available) to April 30, 2009.


(d)		Includes mortgage dollar rolls. If mortgage dollar roll transactions were excluded, the portfolio turnover would have been: 286% and 199% for RiverSource Short Duration U.S. Government Fund and 246% and 162% for Columbia U.S. Government Mortgage Fund for the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively; 229% and 184% for Columbia Diversified Bond for the fiscal periods ended Aug. 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively; 220% for Columbia Limited Duration Credit Fund for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2009; 113% and 116% for Columbia Strategic Allocation Fund and 97% and 112% for RiverSource Strategic Income Allocation Fund for the fiscal periods ended Sept. 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


(e)		A significant portion of the turnover was the result of “roll” transactions in liquid derivatives and Treasury securities. In the derivative transactions, positions in expiring contracts are liquidated and simultaneously replaced with positions in new contracts with equivalent characteristics. In the Treasury transactions, existing holdings are sold to purchase newly issued securities with slightly longer maturity dates. Although these transactions affect the turnover rate of the portfolio, they do not change the risk exposure or result in material transaction costs. The remaining turnover resulted from strategic reallocations and relative value trading. After transaction costs, this activity is expected to enhance the returns on the fund.


(f)		The fund’s turnover rate has historically been low. The increase in turnover rate is primarily a result of repositioning holdings after management changes in the first quarter of 2009 and following a more active management style.


(g)		The turnover was a result of a combination of a change in the investment strategy and the growth of the fund. The fund experienced high net inflows in the second quarter of 2009, increasing the NAV.


(h)		The fund’s turnover rate has historically been low. The increase in turnover rate is primarily a result of repositioning holdings after management changes in the second quarter of 2009, and additionally for Seligman National Municipal, mergers of 14 state-specific Seligman Municipal Funds during the period into the Fund.


(i)		For the period from July 15, 2009 (when the Fund became publicly available) to Oct. 31, 2009.

Brokerage Commissions Paid to Brokers Affiliated with the Investment Manager

Affiliates of the investment manager may engage in brokerage and other securities transactions on behalf of a fund according to procedures adopted by the Board and to the extent consistent with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws. Subject to approval by the Board, the same conditions apply to transactions with broker-dealer affiliates of any subadviser. The investment manager will use an affiliate only if (i) the investment manager determines that the fund will receive prices and executions at least as favorable as those offered by qualified independent brokers performing similar brokerage and other services for the fund and (ii) the affiliate charges the fund commission rates consistent with those the affiliate charges comparable unaffiliated customers in similar transactions and if such use is consistent with terms of the Investment Management Services Agreement.

No brokerage commissions were paid by a fund in the last three fiscal periods to brokers affiliated with the fund’s investment manager, unless otherwise shown in the following table. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

Valuing Fund Shares

As of the end of the most recent fiscal period, the computation of net asset value per share of a class of a fund was based on net assets of that class divided by the number of class shares outstanding as shown in the following table. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1. All expenses of a fund, including the management fee and administrative services fee and, as applicable, distribution and plan administration fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for the purpose of determining NAV.

For Funds other than Money Market Funds. A fund’s securities are valued as follows as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange):


	•	Securities traded on a securities exchange for which a last-quoted sales price is readily available are valued at the last-quoted sales price on the exchange where such security is primarily traded.

	•	Securities traded on a securities exchange for which a last-quoted sales price is not readily available are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices, looking first to the bid and asked prices on the exchange where the security is primarily traded and, if none exist, to the over-the-counter market.

	•	Securities included in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last-quoted sales price in this market.

	•	Securities included in the NASDAQ National Market System for which a last-quoted sales price is not readily available, and other securities traded over-the-counter but not included in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices.

	•	Futures and options traded on major exchanges are valued at the last-quoted sales price on their primary exchange.

	•	Foreign securities traded outside the United States are generally valued as of the time their trading is complete, which is usually different from the close of the Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars utilizing spot exchange rates at the close of regular trading on the Exchange.

	•	Occasionally, events affecting the value of securities occur between the time the primary market on which the securities are traded closes and the close of the Exchange. If events materially affect the value of securities, the securities will be valued at their fair value according to procedures decided upon in good faith by the Board. This occurs most commonly with foreign securities, but may occur in other cases. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price.

	•	Short-term securities maturing more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the readily available market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates. Typically, short-term securities maturing in 60 days


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 65


		or less that originally had maturities of more than 60 days at acquisition date are valued at amortized cost using the market value on the 61st day before maturity. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less at acquisition date are valued at amortized cost. Amortized cost is an approximation of market value determined by systematically increasing the carrying value of a security if acquired at a discount, or reducing the carrying value if acquired at a premium, so that the carrying value is equal to maturity value on the maturity date.


	•	Securities without a readily available market price and securities for which the price quotations or valuations received from other sources are deemed unreliable or not reflective of market value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board. The Board is responsible for selecting methods it believes provide fair value.

	•	When possible, bonds are valued at an evaluated bid by a pricing service independent from the funds. If a valuation of a bond is not available from a pricing service, the bond will be valued by a dealer knowledgeable about the bond if such a dealer is available.

The assets of funds-of-funds consist primarily of shares of the underlying funds, which are valued at their NAVs. Other securities held by funds-of-funds are valued as described above.

For Money Market Funds. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, all of the securities in the fund’s portfolio are valued at amortized cost. The amortized cost method of valuation is an approximation of market value determined by systematically increasing the carrying value of a security if acquired at a discount, or reducing the carrying value if acquired at a premium, so that the carrying value is equal to maturity value on the maturity date. Amortized cost does not take into consideration unrealized capital gains or losses.

The Board has established procedures designed to stabilize the fund’s price per share for purposes of sales and redemptions at $1, to the extent that it is reasonably possible to do so. These procedures include review of the fund’s securities by the Board, at intervals deemed appropriate by it, to determine whether the fund’s net asset value per share computed by using available market quotations deviates from a share value of $1 as computed using the amortized cost method. The Board must consider any deviation that appears and, if it exceeds 0.5%, it must determine what action, if any, needs to be taken. If the Board determines a deviation exists that may result in a material dilution of the holdings of current shareholders or investors, or in any other unfair consequences for shareholders, it must undertake remedial action that it deems necessary and appropriate. Such action may include withholding dividends, calculating net asset value per share for purposes of sales and redemptions using available market quotations, making redemptions in kind, and selling securities before maturity in order to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity.

While the amortized cost method provides certainty and consistency in portfolio valuation, it may result in valuations of securities that are either somewhat higher or lower than the prices at which the securities could be sold. This means that during times of declining interest rates the yield on the fund’s shares may be higher than if valuations of securities were made based on actual market prices and estimates of market prices. Accordingly, if using the amortized cost method were to result in a lower portfolio value, a prospective investor in the fund would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than the investor would get if portfolio valuations were based on actual market values. Existing shareholders, on the other hand, would receive a somewhat lower yield than they would otherwise receive. The opposite would happen during a period of rising interest rates.

Portfolio Holdings Disclosure

Each fund’s Board and the investment manager believe that the investment ideas of the investment manager and any subadviser with respect to portfolio management of a fund should benefit the fund and its shareholders, and do not want to afford speculators an opportunity to profit by anticipating fund trading strategies or by using fund portfolio holdings information for stock picking. However, each fund’s Board also believes that knowledge of the fund’s portfolio holdings can assist shareholders in monitoring their investments, making asset allocation decisions, and evaluating portfolio management techniques.

Each fund’s Board has therefore adopted policies and procedures relating to disclosure of the fund’s portfolio securities. These policies and procedures are intended to protect the confidentiality of fund portfolio holdings information and generally prohibit the release of such information until such information is made public, unless such persons have been authorized to receive such information on a selective basis, as described below. It is the policy of the fund not to provide or permit others to provide portfolio holdings on a selective basis, and the investment manager does not intend to selectively disclose portfolio holdings or expect that such holdings information will be selectively disclosed, except where necessary for the fund’s operation or where there are legitimate business purposes for doing so and, in any case, where conditions are met that are designed to protect the interests of the fund and its shareholders.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 66

Although the investment manager seeks to limit the selective disclosure of portfolio holdings information and such selective disclosure is monitored under the fund’s compliance program for conformity with the policies and procedures, there can be no assurance that these policies will protect the fund from the potential misuse of holdings information by individuals or firms in possession of that information. Under no circumstances may the investment manager, its affiliates or any employee thereof receive any consideration or compensation for disclosing such holdings information.

Public Disclosures

The funds’ portfolio holdings are currently disclosed to the public through filings with the SEC and postings on the funds’ website. The information is available on the funds’ website as described below.


•	For Equity and Balanced funds, a complete list of fund portfolio holdings as of month-end are posted on the website on a monthly basis approximately, but no earlier than, 15 calendar days after each month-end. The four most recent consecutive monthly disclosures remain posted for each fund. Such portfolio holdings information posted on the website includes the name of each portfolio security, number of shares held by the fund, value of the security and the security’s percentage of the market value of the fund’s portfolio as of month-end.

•	For Fixed Income funds, a complete list of fund portfolio holdings as of calendar quarter-end are posted on the website on a quarterly basis approximately, but no earlier than, 30 calendar days after such quarter-end, and remain posted at least until the date on which the fund files its Form N-CSR or Form N-Q with the SEC for the subsequent fiscal period. Fixed income fund portfolio holdings information posted on the website shall include the name of each portfolio security, maturity/rate, par value and the security’s percentage of the market value of the fund’s portfolio as of calendar quarter-end.

•	For Money Market funds, a complete list of fund portfolio holdings as of month-end are posted on the website on a monthly basis, approximately five business days after such month-end. Commencing with the month-end holdings as of September 2010 and thereafter, such month-end holdings will be continuously available on the website for at least six months, together with a link to an SEC webpage where a user of the website may obtain access to the fund’s most recent 12 months of publicly available filings on Form N-MFP. Additionally, as of September 2010 and thereafter, Money Market fund portfolio holdings information posted on the website will, at minimum, include with respect to each holding, the name of the issuer, the category of investment (e.g., Treasury debt, government agency debt, asset backed commercial paper, structured investment vehicle note), the CUSIP number (if any), the principal amount, the maturity date (as determined under Rule 2a-7 for purposes of calculating weighted average maturity), the final maturity date (if different from the maturity date previously described), coupon or yield and the amortized cost value. The Money Market funds will also disclose on the website the overall weighted average maturity and weighted average life maturity of a holding and any other information that may be required by the SEC.

Portfolio holdings of funds owned solely by affiliates of the investment manager may not be disclosed on the website. A complete schedule of each fund’s portfolio holdings is available semi-annually and annually in shareholder reports filed on Form N-CSR and, after the first and third fiscal quarters, in regulatory filings on Form N-Q. These shareholder reports and regulatory filings are filed with the SEC in accordance with federal securities laws and are generally available on the SEC’s website within sixty (60) days of the end of a fund’s fiscal quarter.

In addition, the investment manager makes publicly available information regarding certain fund’s largest five to fifteen holdings, as a percent of the market value of the funds’ portfolios as of a month-end. This holdings information is made publicly available through the website columbiamanagement.com, approximately fifteen (15) days following the month-end. The scope of the information that is made available on the funds’ websites pursuant to the funds’ policies may change from time to time without prior notice.

Other Disclosures

The funds’ policies and procedures provide that no disclosures of the funds’ portfolio holdings may be made prior to the portfolio holdings information being made public unless (i) the funds have a legitimate business purpose for making such disclosure, (ii) the funds or their authorized agents authorize such non-public disclosure of information, and (iii) the party receiving the non-public information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement or is otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation.

In determining the existence of a legitimate business purpose for making portfolio disclosures, the following factors, among others, are considered: (i) any prior disclosure must be consistent with the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws and the fiduciary duties of the investment manager; (ii) any conflicts of interest between the interests of fund shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the investment manager, the funds’ distributor or any affiliated person of a fund, the investment manager or distributor on the other; and (iii) any prior disclosure to a third party, although subject to a confidentiality agreement, would not make conduct lawful that is otherwise unlawful.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 67

In addition, the funds periodically disclose their portfolio information on a confidential basis to various service providers that require such information to assist the funds with their day-to-day business affairs. These service providers include each fund’s sub-advisor(s) (if any), affiliates of the investment manager, the funds’ custodian, sub-custodians, the funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel, financial printers, proxy solicitor and proxy voting service provider, as well as ratings agencies that maintain ratings on certain funds. These service providers are required to keep such information confidential, and are prohibited from trading based on the information or otherwise using the information except as necessary in providing services to the funds. The funds also may disclose portfolio holdings information to broker/dealers and certain other entities in connection with potential transactions and management of the funds, provided that reasonable precautions, including limitations on the scope of the portfolio holdings information disclosed, are taken to avoid any potential misuse of the disclosed information.

The fund also discloses holdings information as required by federal, state or international securities laws, and may disclose holdings information in response to requests by governmental authorities, or in connection with litigation or potential litigation, a restructuring of a holding, where such disclosure is necessary to participate or explore participation in a restructuring of the holding (e.g., as part of a bondholder group), or to the issuer of a holding, pursuant to a request of the issuer or any other party who is duly authorized by the issuer.

Each fund’s Board has adopted policies to ensure that the fund’s holdings information is only disclosed in accordance with these policies. Before any selective disclosure of holdings information is permitted, the person seeking to disclose such holdings information must submit a written request to the Portfolio Holdings Committee (“PHC”). The PHC is comprised of members from the investment manager’s legal department, Compliance, and the funds’ President. The PHC has been authorized by each fund’s Board to perform an initial review of requests for disclosure of holdings information to evaluate whether there is a legitimate business purpose for selective disclosure, whether selective disclosure is in the best interests of a fund and its shareholders, to consider any potential conflicts of interest between the fund, the investment manager, and its affiliates, and to safeguard against improper use of holdings information. Factors considered in this analysis are whether the recipient has agreed to or has a duty to keep the holdings information confidential and whether risks have been mitigated such that the recipient has agreed or has a duty to use the holdings information only as necessary to effectuate the purpose for which selective disclosure was authorized, including a duty not to trade on such information. Before portfolio holdings may be selectively disclosed, requests approved by the PHC must also be authorized by either the fund’s President, Chief Compliance Officer or General Counsel or their respective designees. On at least an annual basis, the PHC reviews the approved recipients of selective disclosure and may require a resubmission of the request, in order to re-authorize certain ongoing arrangements. These procedures are intended to be reasonably designed to protect the confidentiality of fund holdings information and to prohibit their release to individual investors, institutional investors, intermediaries that distribute the fund’s shares, and other parties, until such holdings information is made public or unless such persons have been authorized to receive such holdings information on a selective basis, as set forth above.

Although the investment manager has set up these procedures to monitor and control selective disclosure of holdings information, there can be no assurance that these procedures will protect a fund from the potential misuse of holdings information by individuals or firms in possession of that information.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 68

The funds currently have ongoing arrangements with certain approved recipients with respect to the disclosure of portfolio holdings information prior to such information being made public. Portfolio holdings information disclosed to such recipients is current as of the time of its disclosure, is disclosed to each recipient solely for purposes consistent with the services described below and has been authorized in accordance with the policy. These special arrangements are described in the table below.

Ongoing Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Arrangements:

In addition to the daily information provided to the fund’s custodians, subcustodians, administrator and investment advisers, the following disclosure arrangements are in place:

Proxy Voting

GENERAL GUIDELINES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

These Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures apply only to the funds and portfolios (the “Funds”) that historically bore the RiverSource or Seligman brands, including those renamed to bear the “Columbia” brand effective Sept. 27, 2010 (see Appendix F).

The Funds uphold a long tradition of supporting sound and principled corporate governance. For more than 30 years, the Funds’ Boards of Trustees/Directors (“Board”), which consist of a majority of independent Board members, has determined policies and voted proxies. The Funds’ investment manager and administrator, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (“Columbia Management”), provide support to the Board in connection with the proxy voting process.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

The Board supports proxy proposals that it believes are tied to the interests of shareholders and votes against proxy proposals that appear to entrench management. For example:

Election of Directors


•	The Board generally votes in favor of proposals for an independent chairman or, if the chairman is not independent, in favor of a lead independent director.

•	The Board supports annual election of all directors and proposals to eliminate classes of directors.

•	In a routine election of directors, the Board will generally vote with the recommendations of the company’s nominating committee because the Board believes that nominating committees of independent directors are in the best position to know what qualifications are required of directors to form an effective board. However, the Board will generally vote against a nominee who has been assigned to the audit, compensation, or nominating committee if the nominee is not independent of management based on established criteria. The Board will generally also withhold support for any director who fails to attend 75% of meetings or has other activities that appear to interfere with his or her ability to commit sufficient attention to the company and, in general, will vote against nominees who are determined to have exhibited poor governance such as involvement in options backdating, financial restatements or material weaknesses in control, approving egregious compensation or have consistently disregarded the interests of shareholders.

•	The Board generally supports proposals requiring director nominees to receive a majority of affirmative votes cast in order to be elected to the board, and in the absence of majority voting, generally will support cumulative voting.

•	Votes in a contested election of directors are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Defense Mechanisms

The Board generally supports proposals eliminating provisions requiring supermajority approval of certain actions. The Board generally supports proposals to opt out of control share acquisition statutes and proposals restricting a company’s ability to make greenmail payments. The Board reviews management proposals submitting shareholder rights plans (poison pills) to shareholders on a case-by-case basis.

Auditors

The Board values the independence of auditors based on established criteria. The Board supports a reasonable review of matters that may raise concerns regarding an auditor’s service that may cause the Board to vote against a company’s recommendation for auditor, including, for example, auditor involvement in significant financial restatements, options backdating, conflicts of interest, material weaknesses in control, attempts to limit auditor liability or situations where independence has been compromised.

Management Compensation Issues

The Board expects company management to give thoughtful consideration to providing competitive long-term employee incentives directly tied to the interest of shareholders. The Board generally votes for plans if they are reasonable and consistent with industry and country standards and against plans that it believes dilute shareholder value substantially.

The Board generally favors minimum holding periods of stock obtained by senior management pursuant to equity compensation plans and will vote against compensation plans for executives that it deems excessive.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 70

Social and Corporate Policy Issues

The Board believes proxy proposals should address the business interests of the corporation. Shareholder proposals sometime seek to have the company disclose or amend certain business practices based purely on social or environmental issues rather than compelling business arguments. In general, the Board recognizes our Fund shareholders are likely to have differing views of social and environmental issues and believes that these matters are primarily the responsibility of a company’s management and its board of directors. The Board generally abstains or votes against these proposals.

POLICY AND PROCEDURES

The policy of the Board is to vote all proxies of the companies in which a Fund holds investments. Because of the volume and complexity of the proxy voting process, including inherent inefficiencies in the process that are outside the control of the Board or the Proxy Team (defined below), not all proxies may be voted. The Board has implemented policies and procedures that have been reasonably designed to vote proxies and to address any conflicts between interests of a Fund’s shareholders and those of Columbia Management or other affiliated persons. In exercising its proxy voting responsibilities, the Board may rely upon the research or recommendations of one or more third party service providers.

The administration of the proxy voting process is handled by the Columbia Management Proxy Administration Team (“Proxy Team”). In exercising its responsibilities, the Proxy Team may rely upon one or more third party service providers. The Proxy Team assists the Board in identifying situations where its guidelines do not clearly require a vote in a particular manner and assists in researching matters and making voting recommendations. The Proxy Team may recommend that a proxy be voted in a manner contrary to the Board’s guidelines. In making recommendations to the Board about voting on a proposal, the Proxy Team relies on Columbia Management investment personnel (or the investment personnel of a Fund’s subadviser(s)) and information obtained from an independent research firm. The Proxy Team makes the recommendation in writing. The Board Chair or other Board members who are independent from the investment manager will consider the recommendation and decide how to vote the proxy proposal or establish a protocol for voting the proposal.

On an annual basis, or more frequently as determined necessary, the Board reviews recommendations to revise the existing guidelines or add new guidelines. Recommendations are based on, among other things, industry trends and the frequency that similar proposals appear on company ballots.

The Board considers management’s recommendations as set out in the company’s proxy statement. In each instance in which a Fund votes against management’s recommendation (except when withholding votes from a nominated director), the Board generally sends a letter to senior management of the company explaining the basis for its vote. This permits both the company’s management and the Board to have an opportunity to gain better insight into issues presented by the proxy proposal(s).

Voting in Countries Outside The United States (Non-U.S. Countries)

Voting proxies for companies not domiciled in the United States may involve greater effort and cost due to the variety of regulatory schemes and corporate practices. For example, certain non-U.S. countries require securities to be blocked prior to a vote, which means that the securities to be voted may not be traded within a specified number of days before the shareholder meeting. The Board typically will not vote securities in non-U.S. countries that require securities to be blocked as the need for liquidity of the securities in the Funds will typically outweigh the benefit of voting. There may be additional costs associated with voting in non-U.S. countries such that the Board may determine that the cost of voting outweighs the potential benefit.

Securities on Loan

The Board will generally refrain from recalling securities on loan based upon its determination that the costs and lost revenue to the Funds, combined with the administrative effects of recalling the securities, generally outweigh the benefit of voting the proxy. While neither the Board nor Columbia Management assesses the economic impact and benefits of voting loaned securities on a case-by-case basis, situations may arise where the Board requests that loaned securities be recalled in order to vote a proxy. In this regard, if a proxy relates to matters that may impact the nature of a company, such as a proposed merger or acquisition, and the Funds’ ownership position is more significant, the Board has established a guideline to direct Columbia Management to use its best efforts to recall such securities based upon its determination that, in these situations, the benefits of voting such proxies generally outweigh the costs or lost revenue to the Funds, or any potential adverse administrative effects to the Funds, of not recalling such securities.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 71

Investment in Affiliated Funds

Certain Funds may invest in shares of other funds managed by Columbia Management (referred to in this context as “underlying funds”) and may own substantial portions of these underlying funds. In general, the proxy policy of the Funds is to ensure that direct public shareholders of underlying funds control the outcome of any shareholder vote. To help manage this potential conflict of interest, the policy of the Funds is to vote proxies of the underlying funds in the same proportion as the vote of the direct public shareholders; provided, however, that if there are no direct public shareholders of an underlying fund or if direct public shareholders represent only a minority interest in an underlying fund, the Fund may cast votes in accordance with instructions from the independent members of the Board.

OBTAIN A PROXY VOTING RECORD

Each year the funds file their proxy voting records with the SEC and make them available by August 31 for the 12-month period ending June 30 of that year. The records can be obtained without charge through columbiamanagement.com or searching the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Investing in a Fund

The Columbia funds and Columbia Acorn funds and portfolios are collectively referred to as the Legacy Columbia funds (see Appendix E). The RiverSource funds (including the Seligman and Threadneedle branded funds) are collectively referred to as the Legacy RiverSource funds (see Appendix F).

SALES CHARGE

Investors should understand that the purpose and function of the initial sales charge and distribution fee for Class A shares is the same as the purpose and function of the contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) and distribution fee for Class B and Class C shares. The sales charges and distribution fees applicable to each class pay for the distribution of shares of a fund.

Shares of a fund are sold at the class’ public offering price. For funds other than money market funds and, as noted below in Table 9, certain other funds, the public offering price for Class A shares is the NAV of one share adjusted for the sales charge applicable to the class. For money market funds and, as noted below in Table 9, certain other funds, the public offering price is the NAV. For all funds, for Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class W and Class Z there is no initial sales charge so the public offering price is the same as the NAV.

Class A – Calculation of the Sales Charge

Sales charges are determined as shown in the following tables. The table is organized by investment category. You can find your fund’s investment category in Table 1.

*		RiverSource S&P 500 Index Fund is not subject to a front-end sales change on Class A shares.


(a)		Because the offering price is calculated to two decimal places, the dollar amount of the sales charge as a percentage of the offering price and your net amount invested for any particular purchase of fund shares may be higher or lower depending on whether downward or upward rounding was required during the calculation process.

(b)		Purchase price includes the sales charge.


(c)		Although there is no sales charge for purchases with a total market value of $1 million or more, and therefore no re-allowance, the distributor may pay a selling and/or servicing agent the following out of its own resources: 1.00% on purchases from $1 million up to but not including $3 million; 0.50% on purchases of $3 million up to but not including $50 million; and 0.25% on amounts of $50 million or more. The distributor may be reimbursed if a CDSC is deducted when the shares are redeemed.


(d)		For eligible employee benefit plans, selling and/or servicing agents are eligible to receive from the distributor the following sales commissions on purchases that are coded as commission eligible trades: 1.00% on all purchases up to but not including $3 million, including those in amounts of less than $1 million; up to 0.50% on all purchases of $3 million up to but not including $50 million; and up to 0.25% on all purchases of $50 million or more.

Using the sales charge schedule in the table above, for Class A, the public offering price for an investment of less than $50,000, made on the last day of the most recent fiscal period, was determined as shown in the following table. The sales charge is paid to the distributor by the person buying the shares. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

Class A — Statement or Letter of Intent (LOI)

If you intend to invest $50,000 or more over a period of time, you may be able to reduce the sales charge you pay on investments in Class A, Class E or Class T shares by completing a LOI form and committing to invest a certain amount. The LOI must be filed with and accepted in good order by the distributor of the funds. You will have up to 13 months from the date of your LOI to fulfill your commitment. Existing Rights of Accumulation (ROA) can be included for purposes of meeting your commitment under the LOI. For example, a shareholder currently has $60,000 ROA in the funds. Shareholder completes an LOI to invest $100,000 in the funds (ROA eligible accounts). Shareholder only needs to invest an additional $40,000 in the funds’ Class A shares over the next 13 months in order to fulfill the LOI commitment, during which time the shareholder receives reduced front-end sales charge(s) on investments. Your investments during this 13-month period will be charged the sales charge that applies to the amount you have committed to invest under the LOI. A portion of your commitment will be invested in Class A, Class E or Class T shares, as the case may be, and placed in escrow. At the end of the 13-month period, the LOI will end and the shares will be released from escrow (less any amount necessary to pay sales charges to the extent the LOI commitment was not met, as described below). Once the LOI has ended or your investments entitle you to a lower sale charge than would otherwise be available to you under the LOI, future sales charges will be determined by Rights of Accumulation (ROA) as described in the prospectus. If you do not invest the commitment amount by the end of the 13-month period, the remaining unpaid sales charge will be redeemed from the escrowed shares and the remaining balance released from escrow. For purposes of making an LOI to purchase additional shares, you may aggregate your ownership of different classes of shares, except Class I, Class R, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class Y shares. For example, if your LOI commits you to purchases Class A shares, the commitment amount does not include purchases in these classes of shares; does not include any new reinvested dividends and directed dividends earned in any funds during the 13-month period; and purchases of money market funds unless they are subsequently exchanged for shares of a non-money market fund (other than Class I, Class R, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class Y shares of such non-money market fund) within the 13-month period. A LOI is not an option (absolute right) to buy shares. If you purchase shares through different channels, for example, in a brokerage account or through a third party, you must inform your financial intermediary in writing about the LOI when placing any purchase orders during the period of the LOI. If you do not complete and file the


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 75

LOI form, or do not request the reduced sales charge at the time of purchase, you will not be eligible for the reduced sales charge.

Class A Shares

Class A shares may be sold at net asset value to certain persons since such sales require less sales effort and lower sales-related expenses as compared with sales to the general public. If you are eligible to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge, you should inform your financial advisor, selling and/or servicing agent or the fund’s transfer agent of such eligibility and be prepared to provide proof thereof. For Class A shares purchased without a sales charge where a commission was separately paid by the distributor to a selling and/or servicing agent effecting the purchase, a CDSC may be charged if you sell your shares within, except as provided below, 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase. A CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less.

Initial Sales Charge — Waivers of the sales charge for Class A shares. Sales charges do not apply to:


	•	shareholders whose original purchase was in a Strategist fund merged into a RiverSource fund in 2000.

	•	participants of “eligible employee benefit plans” including 403(b) plans for which Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial Services) serves as broker-dealer, and the school district or group received a written proposal from Ameriprise Financial Services between November 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008 (each a Qualifying 403(b) Plan). In order for participants in one of these 403(b) plans to receive this waiver, at least one participant account of the 403(b) plan must have been funded at Ameriprise Financial Services prior to Dec. 31, 2009. This waiver may be discontinued for any Qualifying 403(b) Plan, in the sole discretion of the distributor, after Dec. 31, 2009.

	•	to separate accounts established and maintained by an insurance company which are exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(11) of the 1940 Act.

	•	plans that (i) own Class B shares of any Seligman fund and (ii) participate in Seligman Growth 401(k) through Ascensus’s (formerly BISYS) third party administration platform may, with new contributions, purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class A shares purchased at net asset value on or prior to Sept. 3, 2010 are subject to a CDSC on shares purchased within 18 months prior to plan termination, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.

	•	to participants in retirement and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those plans, including but not limited to, those defined in Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code and “rabbi trusts” for which Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. acts as broker dealer.

	•	to participants in plans established at the transfer agent (Seligman funds only) prior to January 7, 2008, the plan had $500,000 or 50 participants when the shares were initially purchased.

	•	to participants in retirement and benefit plans made through financial intermediaries that perform participant recordkeeping or other administrative services for the plans and that have entered into special arrangements as alliance program partners with the funds and/or the distributor specifically for such purchases.

	•	to other funds pursuant to a “fund-of-funds” arrangement provided that the fund is distributed by the distributor.

	•	any shareholder who owned shares of any fund of Columbia Acorn Trust (formerly named Liberty Acorn Trust) on September 29, 2000 (when all of the then outstanding shares of Columbia Acorn Trust were re-designated Class Z shares) and who since that time remained a shareholder of any Fund, may buy Class A shares of any Fund without paying a front-end sales charge in those cases when Class Z shares is not available.

	•	Galaxy Fund shareholders prior to December 1, 1995; and shareholders who (i) bought Galaxy Fund Prime A shares without paying a front-end sales charge and received Class A shares in exchange for those shares during the Galaxy/Liberty Fund reorganization; and (ii) continue to maintain the account in which the Prime A shares were originally bought.

Initial Sales Charge — Waivers of the sales charge for Class T shares.


	•	(For Class T shares only) Shareholders who (i) bought Galaxy Fund Retail A shares at net asset value and received Class T shares in exchanges for those shares during the Galaxy/Liberty Fund reorganization; and (ii) continue to maintain the account in which the Retail A shares were originally bought; and Boston 1784 Fund shareholders on the date those funds were reorganized into Galaxy Funds.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 76

CDSC — Waivers of the CDSC for Class A, Class C, Class E, and Class T shares. The CDSC will be waived on sales of Class A, Class C, Class E, and Class T shares:


	•	in connection with participation in the Merrill Lynch Small Market 401(k) Program, retirement programs administered or serviced by the Princeton Retirement Group, Paychex, ADP Retirement Services, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. or NYLIM Service Company LLC, retirement programs or accounts administered or serviced by Mercer HR Services, LLC or its affiliates, or retirement programs or accounts administered or serviced by firms that have a written agreement with the distributor that contemplates a waiver of CDSCs, provided that no sales commission or transaction fee was paid to such authorized financial institution at the time of purchase.

The CDSC will be waived on sales of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of a Legacy Columbia fund purchased prior to September 7, 2010:


	•	after the sole shareholder on an individual account or a joint tenant on a joint tenant account becomes disabled (as defined by Section 72(m)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code). To be eligible for such a waiver: (i) the disability must arise after the account is opened and (ii) a letter from a physician must be signed under penalty of perjury stating the nature of the disability. If the account is transferred to a new registration and then shares are sold, the applicable CDSC will be charged.*

	•	by health savings accounts sponsored by third party platforms, including those sponsored by affiliates of Bank of America.*

	•	for the following purposes (i) to make medical payments that exceed 7.5% of income and (ii) to pay for insurance by an individual who has separated from employment and who has received unemployment compensation under a federal or state program for at least twelve weeks.*

	•	pursuant to the Fund’s Systematic Withdrawal Plan established with the Transfer Agent, to the extent that the sales do not exceed, on an annual basis, 12% of the account’s value as long as distributions are reinvested. Otherwise, a CDSC will be charged on sales through the Fund’s Systematic Withdrawal Plan until this requirement is met.

	•	in connection with distributions from qualified retirement plans, government (Section 457) plans, individual retirement accounts or custodial accounts under Section 403(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code following normal retirement or the attainment of age 59¹/₂.**

	*	Fund investors and selling and/or servicing agents must inform the fund or the transfer agent in writing that the fund investor qualifies for the particular sales charge waiver and provide proof thereof.
	**	For direct trades on non-prototype retirement accounts where the date of birth of the fund shareholder is not maintained, the shareholder or selling and/or servicing agent must inform the fund or the transfer agent in writing that the Fund investor qualifies for the particular sales charge waiver and provide proof thereof.

Class B Shares — Closed

The funds no longer accept investments from new or existing investors in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions involving existing investors in Class B shares as described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus.

Class B shares have a CDSC. For purposes of calculating the CDSC on shares of a fund purchased after the close of business on Sept. 3, 2010, the start of the holding period is the first day of the month in which your purchase was made. For purposes of calculating the CDSC on shares of a Legacy RiverSource fund purchased on or before the close of business on Sept. 3, 2010, the start of the holding period is the date your purchase was made. When you place an order to sell your Class B shares, the fund will first redeem any shares that aren’t subject to a CDSC, followed by those you have held the longest. This means that if a CDSC is imposed, you cannot designate the individual shares being redeemed for federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences of investing in the funds.

CDSC — Waivers of the CDSC for Class B shares. The CDSC will be waived on sales of shares:


	•	in connection with participation in the Merrill Lynch Small Market 401(k) Program, retirement programs administered or serviced by the Princeton Retirement Group, Paychex, ADP Retirement Services, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. or NYLIM Service Company LLC, retirement programs or accounts administered or serviced by Mercer HR Services, LLC or its affiliates, or retirement programs or accounts administered or serviced by firms that have a written agreement with the distributor that contemplates a waiver of CDSCs, provided that no sales commission or transaction fee was paid to such authorized financial institution at the time of purchase.

	•	of Legacy RiverSource funds held in investment-only accounts (i.e. accounts where Ameriprise Trust Company does not act as the custodian) at Ameriprise Financial Services on behalf of a trust for an employee benefit plan.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 77


	•	of Legacy RiverSource funds held in IRAs or certain qualified plans, on or prior to June 12, 2009, such as Keogh plans, tax-sheltered custodial accounts or corporate pension plans where Ameriprise Trust Company is acting as custodian, provided that the shareholder is:


	—	at least 591/2 years old and taking a retirement distribution (if the sale is part of a transfer to an IRA or qualified plan, or a custodian-to-custodian transfer, the CDSC will not be waived)*, or

	—	selling under an approved substantially equal periodic payment arrangement.


	•	of sales of Class B shares of Legacy RiverSource funds purchased prior to Sept. 7, 2010 sold under an approved substantially equal periodic payment arrangement (applies to retirement accounts when a shareholder sets up an arrangement with the Internal Revenue Service).**


	*	You must notify the fund or the transfer agent prior to redeeming shares of the applicability of the CDSC waiver, but final decision of the applicability of the CDSC waiver is contingent on approval of the fund or the transfer agent.

	**	Fund investors and selling and/or servicing agents must inform the fund or the transfer agent in writing that the fund investor qualifies for the particular sales charge waiver and provide proof thereof.

	•	The Exchange closes for reasons other than the usual weekend and holiday closings or trading on the Exchange is restricted, or

	•	Disposal of a fund’s securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the fund to determine the fair value of its net assets, or,

	•	The SEC, under the provisions of the 1940 Act, declares a period of emergency to exist.

Should a fund stop selling shares, the Board may make a deduction from the value of the assets held by the fund to cover the cost of future liquidations of the assets so as to distribute these costs fairly among all shareholders.

Each fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, which obligates the fund to redeem shares in cash, with respect to any one shareholder during any 90-day period, up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the fund at the beginning of the period. Although redemptions in excess of this limitation would normally be paid in cash, the fund reserves the right to make these payments in whole or in part in securities or other assets in case of an emergency, or if


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 79

the payment of a redemption in cash would be detrimental to the existing shareholders of the fund as determined by the Board. In these circumstances, the securities distributed would be valued as set forth in this SAI. Should a fund distribute securities, a shareholder may incur brokerage fees or other transaction costs in converting the securities to cash.

Pay-out Plans

You can use any of several pay-out plans to redeem your investment in regular installments. If you redeem shares, you may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as discussed in the prospectus. While the plans differ on how the pay-out is figured, they all are based on the redemption of your investment. Net investment income dividends and any capital gain distributions will automatically be reinvested, unless you elect to receive them in cash. If you redeem an IRA or a qualified retirement account, certain restrictions, federal tax penalties, and special federal income tax reporting requirements may apply. You should consult your tax advisor about this complex area of the tax law.

Applications for a systematic investment in a class of a fund subject to a sales charge normally will not be accepted while a pay-out plan for any of those funds is in effect. Occasional investments, however, may be accepted.

To start any of these plans, please consult your financial intermediary. Your authorization must be received at least five days before the date you want your payments to begin. Payments will be made on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. Your choice is effective until you change or cancel it.

Capital Loss Carryover

For federal income tax purposes, certain funds had total capital loss carryovers at the end of the most recent fiscal period that, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire as provided in the table below. Because the measurement periods for a regulated investment company’s income are different for excise tax purposes verses income tax purposes, special rules are in place to protect the amount of earnings and profits needed to support excise tax distributions. As a result, the funds are permitted to treat net capital losses realized between November 1 and its fiscal year end (“post-October loss”) as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. The total capital loss carryovers below include post-October losses, if applicable. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of any net realized capital gains until the available capital loss carryover has been offset or has expired except as required by Internal Revenue Service rules. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

Taxes

Subchapter M Compliance

Each fund has elected to be taxed under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code as a regulated investment company. Each fund intends to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company by meeting certain requirements relating to distributions, source of income, and asset diversification. Distribution requirements include distributing at least 90% of the fund’s investment company taxable income (which includes net short-term capital gains) and tax-exempt ordinary income to fund shareholders each taxable year. The source of income rules require that at least 90% of the fund’s gross income be derived from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gain from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies (subject to certain limitations), and certain other income derived with respect to its business of investing in stock, securities or currencies, and net income from certain interests in qualified publicly traded partnerships. Asset diversification requirements are met when the fund owns, at the end of each quarter of its taxable year, a portfolio, 50% of which includes cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and, securities of other issuers in which the fund has not invested more than 5% of the value of the fund’s assets (or 10% of the value of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer). Also, no more than 25% of the fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer or two or more issuers which the fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses (excepting U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies) or the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships. This is a simplified description of the relevant laws.

If the fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M, the fund would be taxed as a corporation on the entire amount of its taxable income (including its capital gain) without a dividends paid deduction. Also, “all of” a shareholder’s distributions would generally be taxable to shareholders as qualified dividend income (QDI) (or could be treated as a return of capital, if there weren’t sufficient earnings and profits) and generally would be eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.

Under federal tax law, by the end of a calendar year a fund must declare and pay dividends representing 98% of ordinary income for that calendar year and 98% of net capital gains (both long-term and short-term) for the 12-month period ending Oct. 31 of that calendar year. The fund is subject to an excise tax equal to 4% of the excess, if any, of the amount required to be distributed over the amount actually distributed. Each fund intends to comply with federal tax law and avoid any excise tax. For purposes of the excise tax distributions, section 988 ordinary gains and losses are distributable based on an Oct. 31 year end. This is an exception to the general rule that ordinary income is paid based on a calendar year end.

The fund intends to distribute sufficient dividends within each calendar year, as well as on a fiscal year basis, to avoid income and excise taxes.

A fund may be subject to U.S. taxes resulting from holdings in passive foreign investment companies (PFIC). To avoid unfavorable tax consequences, a fund may make an election to mark to market its PFIC investments. A foreign corporation is a PFIC when 75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is passive income or 50% or more of the average value of its assets consists of assets that produce or could produce passive income.

Income earned by a fund may have had foreign taxes imposed and withheld on it in foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes. If more than 50% of a fund’s total assets at the close of its fiscal year consists of securities of foreign corporations, the fund will be eligible to file an election with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under which shareholders of the fund would be required to include their pro rata portions of foreign taxes withheld by foreign countries as gross income in their federal income tax returns. These pro rata portions of foreign taxes withheld may be taken as a credit or deduction in computing the shareholders’ federal income taxes. If the election is filed, the fund will report to its shareholders the per share amount of such foreign taxes withheld and the amount of foreign tax credit or deduction available for federal income tax purposes.

A fund may use equalization payments to satisfy its requirement to make distributions of net investment income and capital gain net income. Equalization payments occur when a fund allocates a portion of its net investment income and realized capital gain net income to redemptions of fund shares. These payments reduce the amount of taxable distributions paid to shareholders. The IRS has not issued any guidance concerning the methods used to allocate investment income and capital gain to redemptions of shares. If the IRS determines that a fund is using an improper method of allocation for these purposes, the fund may be liable for additional federal income tax.

This is a brief summary that relates to federal income taxation only. Shareholders should consult their tax advisor as to the application of federal, state, and local income tax laws to fund distributions.

See Appendix B for more information regarding state tax-exempt funds.

Exchanges, Purchases and Sales

For tax purposes, an exchange is considered a sale and purchase, and may result in a gain or loss. A sale is a taxable transaction. If you sell shares for less than their cost, the difference is a capital loss. If you sell shares for more than their cost, the difference is a capital gain. Your gain may be short term (for shares held for one year or less) or long term (for shares held more than one year).

Capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. shareholder that is recognized in a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2011 is generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% in respect of shares held for more than one year. Net capital gain of a corporate shareholder is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. However, if shares on which a long-term capital gain distribution has been received are subsequently sold or redeemed and such shares have been held for six months or less (after taking into account certain hedging transactions), any loss realized will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that it does not exceed the long-term capital gain distribution.

A capital loss on a sale or redemption of a security in a nonqualified account may be disallowed for tax purposes if the same or a substantially identical security is purchased or acquired (including shares acquired through dividend reinvestment) within 30 days before or after the date of the loss transaction. This is called a wash sale. When a wash sale occurs, the loss is disallowed to the extent of shares repurchased, and the cost basis on the security acquired is increased by the amount of the loss that is disallowed. The loss is disallowed in a nonqualified account whether the purchase is in a nonqualified account or in an IRA or Roth IRA, however, an individual’s cost basis in an IRA or Roth IRA is not increased due to the wash sale rules. The wash sale rules apply only to capital losses. Sales of securities that result in capital gains are generally recognized when incurred.

If you buy Class A shares and within 91 days exchange into another fund, you may not include the sales charge in your calculation of tax gain or loss on the sale of the first fund you purchased. The sales charge may be included in the calculation of your tax gain or loss on a subsequent sale of the second fund you purchased.

For example

You purchase 100 shares of an equity fund having a public offering price of $10.00 per share. With a sales load of 5.75%, you pay $57.50 in sales load. With a NAV of $9.425 per share, the value of your investment is $942.50. Within 91 days of purchasing that fund, you decide to exchange out of that fund, now at a NAV of $11.00 per share, up from the original NAV of $9.425, and purchase a second fund, at a NAV of $15.00 per share. The value of your investment is now $1,100.00 ($11.00 x 100 shares). You cannot use the $57.50 paid as a sales load when calculating your tax gain or loss in the sale of the first fund shares. So instead of having a $100.00 gain ($1,100.00 – $1,000.00), you have a $157.50 gain ($1,100.00 – $942.50). You can include the $57.50 sales load in the calculation of your tax gain or loss when you sell shares in the second fund.

The following paragraphs provide information based on a fund’s investment category. You can find your fund’s investment category in Table 1.

For State Tax-Exempt Fixed Income and Tax-Exempt Fixed Income Funds, all distributions of net investment income during the fund’s fiscal year will have the same percentage designated as tax-exempt. This percentage is expected to be substantially the same as the percentage of tax-exempt income actually earned during any particular distribution period.

For Balanced, Equity, Funds-of-Funds, Taxable Money Market and Taxable Fixed Income Funds, if you have a nonqualified investment in a fund and you wish to move part or all of those shares to an IRA or qualified retirement account in the fund, you can do so without paying a sales charge. However, this type of exchange is considered a redemption of shares and may result in a gain or loss for tax purposes. See wash sale discussion above. In addition, this type of exchange may result in an excess contribution under IRA or qualified plan regulations if the amount exchanged exceeds annual contribution limitations. You should consult your tax advisor for further details about this complex subject.

Distributions

Dividends

Net investment income dividends (other than qualified dividend income) received and distributions from the excess of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses should be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Corporate shareholders are generally entitled to a deduction equal to 70% of that portion of a fund’s dividend that is attributable to dividends the fund received from domestic (U.S.) securities. If there is debt-financed portfolio stock, that is, bank financing is used to purchase long securities, the 70% dividends received deduction would be reduced by the average amount of portfolio indebtedness divided by the average adjusted basis in the stock. This does not impact the qualified dividend income available to individual shareholders. For the most recent fiscal period, net investment income dividends qualified for the corporate deduction are shown in the following table.

Only certain QDI will be subject to the 15% and 0% (for lower-bracket taxpayers) tax rates for 2008-2010. QDI is dividends earned from domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. Qualified foreign corporations are corporations incorporated in a U.S. possession, corporations whose stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market (ADRs), and certain other corporations eligible for relief under an income tax treaty with the U.S. that includes an exchange of information agreement. PFICs are excluded from this treatment. Holding periods for shares must also be met to be eligible for QDI treatment (more than 60 days for common stock and more than 90 days for certain preferred’s dividends).

Dividends declared in October, November or December, payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month and paid in the following January will be treated as having been paid by a fund and received by each shareholder in December. Under this rule, therefore, shareholders may be taxed in one year on dividends or distributions actually received in January of the following year.

The QDI for individuals for the most recent fiscal period is shown in the table below. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

Capital Gains Distributions

Capital gain distributions, if any, received by shareholders (in cash or invested in additional shares) should be treated as long-term capital gains regardless of how long shareholders owned their shares. Short-term capital gains earned by a fund are paid to shareholders as part of their ordinary income dividend and are taxable as ordinary income. Special rates on capital gains may apply to sales of precious metals, if any, owned directly by a fund and to investments in REITs.

Individual shareholders will be subject to federal income tax on distributions of net capital gains generally at a maximum rate of 15% if designated as derived from a fund’s capital gains from property held for more than one year and recognized in the taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011. Net capital gain of a corporate shareholder is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income. Such distributions are not eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporate shareholders. Shareholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares issued by a fund will generally be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received a distribution in an amount equal to the cash that could have been elected to be received instead of the additional shares.

Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time a fund accrues interest or other receivables, or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities generally are treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, gains or losses on disposition of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency attributable to fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency between the date of acquisition of the security and the date of disposition may be treated as ordinary or capital gains or losses. These gains or losses, referred to under the Code as “section 988” gains or losses, may increase or decrease the amount of a fund’s investment company taxable income to be distributed to its shareholders as ordinary income.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 88

Return of Capital

If a mutual fund is the holder of record of any share of stock on the record date for any dividend payable with respect to the stock, the dividend will be included in gross income by the fund as of the later of (1) the date the share became ex-dividend or (2) the date the fund acquired the share. Because the dividends on some foreign equity investments may be received some time after the stock goes ex-dividend, and in certain rare cases may never be received by the fund, this rule may cause a fund to pay income to its shareholders that it has not actually received. To the extent that the dividend is never received, the fund will take a loss at the time that a determination is made that the dividend will not be received.

If a fund’s distributions exceed its current and accumulated earnings and profits, that portion of the fund’s distributions will be treated as a return of capital to its shareholders. A return of capital is a return of a portion of the shareholder’s original investment. A return of capital will generally not be taxable, however, any amounts received in excess of a shareholder’s tax basis are treated as capital gain. Forms 1099 will be sent to shareholders to report any return of capital.

Withholding

Unless a shareholder provides a certified taxpayer identification number (social security number for individuals) on the account application or other document and certifies that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding, the fund is required to withhold and remit to the IRS 28% backup withholding on taxable and exempt-interest dividends and redemptions. Shareholders should be aware that, under regulations promulgated by the IRS, a fund may be fined for each account for which a certified taxpayer identification number (social security number for individuals) is not provided.

Taxation of a shareholder who, as to the United States, is a nonresident alien individual, foreign trust or estate, foreign corporation, or foreign partnership (“foreign shareholder”) depends on whether the income from the fund is “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business carried on by such shareholder. If the income from the fund is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, ordinary income and qualified dividends paid to such foreign shareholders generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax under existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to foreign individuals and entities unless a reduced rate of withholding or a withholding exemption is provided under applicable treaty or law. Nonresident shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers concerning the applicability of the U.S. withholding tax.

If the income from the fund is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, then ordinary income dividends, qualified dividends, capital gain dividends, undistributed capital gains credited to such shareholder and any gains realized upon the sale of shares of the fund will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the graduated rates applicable to U.S. citizens or domestic corporations. In the case of foreign non-corporate shareholders, the fund may be required to backup withhold U.S. federal income tax on distributions that are otherwise exempt from withholding tax (or taxable at a reduced treaty rate) unless such shareholders furnish the fund with proper documentation related to their foreign status.

The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the fund, the procedure for claiming the benefit of a lower treaty rate and the applicability of foreign taxes.

Under the agreement, a fund also pays taxes, brokerage commissions and nonadvisory expenses, which include custodian fees and charges; fidelity bond premiums; certain legal fees; registration fees for shares; consultants’ fees; compensation of Board members, officers and employees not employed by the investment manager or its affiliates; corporate filing fees; organizational expenses; expenses incurred in connection with lending securities; interest and fee expense related to a fund’s participation in inverse floater structures; and expenses properly payable by a fund, approved by the Board.

For certain Equity and Balanced Funds noted in Table 14, before the fee based on the asset charge is paid, it is adjusted for the fund’s investment performance relative to a Performance Incentive Adjustment Index (PIA Index) as shown in the table below. The adjustment increased or decreased the fee for the last fiscal period as shown in the following table. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

(a)		The first performance incentive adjustment will be made on March 1, 2011. See section titled “Transaction Period” below.


(b)		Effective March 1, 2011, the management fee is no longer adjusted for investment performance relative to the PIA Index.


(c)		Effective April 1, 2011, the management fee is no longer adjusted for investment performance relative to the PIA Index.

For all funds noted in Table 14 EXCEPT Columbia 120/20 Contrarian Equity, Columbia Recovery and Infrastructure, and Columbia Global Extended Alpha:

The adjustment will be determined monthly by measuring the percentage difference over a rolling 12-month period (subject to earlier determination based on the Transition Period, as set forth below) between the annualized performance of one Class A share of the fund and the annualized performance of the PIA Index (“performance difference”). The performance difference is then used to determine the adjustment rate. The adjustment rate, computed to five decimal places, is determined in accordance with the following table and is applied against average daily net assets for the applicable rolling 12-month period or Transition Period, and divided by 12 to obtain the fee reflecting the performance fee adjustment for that month. The table is organized by fund category. You can find your fund’s category in Table 1.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 100

Table 15A. Performance Incentive Adjustment Calculation


Equity Funds		Balanced Funds
Performance		Performance
Difference	Adjustment Rate	Difference	Adjustment Rate
0.00% – 0.50%	0	0.00% – 0.50%	0

0.50% – 1.00%	6 basis points times the performance difference over 0.50%, times 100 (maximum of 3 basis points if a 1% performance difference)	0.50% – 1.00%	6 basis points times the performance difference over 0.50%, times 100 (maximum of 3 basis points if a 1% performance difference)

1.00% – 2.00%	3 basis points, plus 3 basis points times the performance difference over 1.00%, times 100 (maximum 6 basis points if a 2% performance difference)	1.00% – 2.00%	3 basis points, plus 3 basis points times the performance difference over 1.00%, times 100 (maximum 6 basis points if a 2% performance difference)

2.00% – 4.00%	6 basis points, plus 2 basis points times the performance difference over 2.00%, times 100 (maximum 10 basis points if a 4% performance difference)	2.00% – 3.00%	6 basis points, plus 2 basis points times the performance difference over 2.00%, times 100 (maximum 8 basis points if a 3% performance difference)

4.00% – 6.00%	10 basis points, plus 1 basis point times the performance difference over 4.00%, times 100 (maximum 12 basis points if a 6% performance difference)	3.00% or more	8 basis points

6.00% or more	12 basis points	N/A

For example, if the performance difference for an Equity Fund is 2.38%, the adjustment rate is 0.000676 (0.0006 [6 basis points] plus 0.0038 [the 0.38% performance difference over 2.00%] x 0.0002 [2 basis points] x 100 (0.000076)). Rounded to five decimal places, the adjustment rate is 0.00068. The maximum adjustment rate for the fund is 0.0012 per year. Where the fund’s Class A performance exceeds that of the PIA Index, the fee paid to the investment manager will increase. Where the performance of the PIA Index exceeds the performance of the fund’s Class A shares, the fee paid to the investment manager will decrease. The 12-month comparison period rolls over with each succeeding month, so that it always equals 12 months, ending with the month for which the performance adjustment is being computed.

Transition Period

The performance incentive adjustment will not be calculated for the first 6 months from the inception of the fund. After 6 full calendar months, the performance fee adjustment will be determined using the average assets and performance difference over the first 6 full calendar months, and the adjustment rate will be applied in full. Each successive month an additional calendar month will be added to the performance adjustment computation. After 12 full calendar months, the full rolling 12-month period will take affect.

Change in Index

If the PIA Index ceases to be published for a period of more than 90 days, changes in any material respect, otherwise becomes impracticable or, at the discretion of the Board, is no longer appropriate to use for purposes of a performance incentive adjustment, for example, if Lipper reclassifies the fund from one peer group to another, the Board may take action it deems appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders, including: (1) discontinuance of the performance incentive adjustment until such time as it approves a substitute index; or (2) adoption of a methodology to transition to a substitute index it has approved.

In the case of a change in the PIA Index, a fund’s performance will be compared to a 12-month blended index return that reflects the performance of the current index for the portion of the 12-month performance measurement period beginning the effective date of the current index and the performance of the prior index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the prior index will be eliminated from the performance incentive adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the current index.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 101

For Columbia 120/20 Contrarian Equity, Columbia Recovery and Infrastructure, and Columbia Global Extended Alpha:

The adjustment will be determined monthly by measuring the percentage difference over a rolling 36-month period (subject to earlier determination based on the Transition Period, as set forth below) between the annualized performance of one Class A share of the fund and the annualized performance of the PIA Index (“performance difference”). The performance difference will then be used to determine the adjustment rate. The adjustment rate, computed to five decimal places, is determined in accordance with the following table and is applied against average daily net assets for the applicable rolling 36-month period or Transition Period, and divided by 12 to obtain the fee reflecting the performance fee adjustment for that month.

Table 15B. Performance Incentive Adjustment Calculation


		Columbia 120/20 Contrarian Equity
Columbia Recovery and Infrastructure		Columbia Global Extended Alpha
Performance		Performance
Difference	Adjustment Rate	Difference	Adjustment Rate
0.00% – 0.50%	0	0.00% – 1.00%	0

0.50% – 1.00%	6 basis points times the performance difference over 0.50%, times 100 (maximum of 3 basis points if a 1% performance difference)	1.00% – 6.00%	10 basis points times the performance difference over 1.00%, times 100 (maximum 50 basis points if a 6% performance difference)

1.00% – 2.00%	3 basis points, plus 3 basis points times the performance difference over 1.00%, times 100 (maximum 6 basis points if a 2% performance difference)	6.00% or more	50 basis points

4.00% – 6.00%	10 basis points, plus 1 basis point times the performance difference over 4.00%, times 100 (maximum 12 basis points if a 6% performance difference)	N/A

6.00% or more	12 basis points	N/A

For example, if the performance difference for Columbia 120/20 Contrarian Equity is 2.38%, the adjustment rate is 0.00138 [the 1.38% performance difference over 1.00%] x 0.0010 [10 basis points] x 100. Rounded to five decimal places, the adjustment rate is 0.00138. This adjustment rate of 0.00138 is then applied against the average daily net assets for the applicable rolling 36-month or Transition Period, and divided by 12, which provides the performance adjustment fee for that month. Where the fund’s Class A performance exceeds that of the PIA Index for the applicable rolling 36-month period or Transition Period, the fee paid to the investment manager will increase by the adjustment rate. Where the performance of the PIA Index exceeds the performance of the fund’s Class A shares for the applicable rolling 36-month period or Transition Period, the fee paid to the Investment Manager will decrease by the adjustment rate.

The 36-month comparison period rolls over with each succeeding month, so that it always equals 36 months, ending with the month for which the performance adjustment is being computed.

Transition Period

The performance incentive adjustment will not be calculated for the first 24 months from the inception of the fund. After 24 full calendar months, the performance fee adjustment will be determined using the average assets and Performance Difference over the first 24 full calendar months, and the Adjustment Rate will be applied in full. Each successive month an additional calendar month will be added to the performance adjustment computation. After 36 full calendar months, the full rolling 36-month period will take affect.

Change in Index


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 102

(1) discontinuance of the performance incentive adjustment until such time as it approves a substitute index, or (2) adoption of a methodology to transition to a substitute index it has approved.

In the case of a change the PIA Index, a fund’s performance will be compared to a 36-month blended index return that reflects the performance of the current index for the portion of the 36-month performance measurement period beginning the effective date of the current index and the performance of the prior index for the remainder of the measurement period. At the conclusion of the transition period, the performance of the prior index will be eliminated from the performance incentive adjustment calculation, and the calculation will include only the performance of the current index.

In September 2010 the Board approved, an amended investment management services agreement (“IMSA”) that would eliminate the PIA. Effective October 1, 2010 for Columbia 120/20 Contrarian Equity Fund, Columbia Asia Pacific ex-Japan Fund, Columbia Mid Cap Growth Opportunity Fund and Columbia Multi-Advisor International Value Fund, the investment manager has agreed that for a transitional period of 6 months, except the transitional period for Columbia 120/20 Contrarian Equity Fund will be 18 months, each fund will compensate the investment manager at the lower of: (i) the fee calculated under the proposed IMSA (i.e., without the PIA), or (ii) the fee calculated under the current IMSA (including any applicable negative PIA).

The IMSA proposal was approved by fund shareholders at a shareholder meeting held Feb. 15, 2011. More information about the IMSA proposal is available in proxy materials distributed to shareholders in early 2011. The IMSA proposal is expected to be effective in the second quarter of 2011.

The table below shows the total management fees paid by each fund for the last three fiscal periods as well as nonadvisory expenses, net of earnings credits, waivers and expenses reimbursed by the investment manager and its affiliates. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

Manager of Managers Exemption

The funds have received an order from the SEC that permits Columbia Management, subject to the approval of the Board, to appoint a subadviser or change the terms of a subadvisory agreement for a fund without first obtaining shareholder approval. The order permits the fund to add or change unaffiliated subadvisers or the fees paid to subadvisers from time to time without the expense and delays associated with obtaining shareholder approval of the change.

For all Seligman funds and for Columbia Seligman Communications and Information, RiverSource California Tax-Exempt, RiverSource Intermediate Tax-Exempt, RiverSource New York Tax-Exempt, RiverSource Short Duration U.S. Government, and RiverSource Tax-Exempt High Income funds: if the fund were to seek to rely on the order, holders of a majority of the fund’s outstanding voting securities would need to approve operating the fund in this manner. There is no assurance shareholder approval, if sought, will be received, and no changes will be made without shareholder approval until that time.

Subadvisory Agreements

The assets of certain funds are managed by subadvisers that have been selected by the investment manager, subject to the review and approval of the Board. The investment manager has recommended the subadvisers to the Board based upon its assessment of the skills of the subadvisers in managing other assets with objectives and investment strategies substantially similar to those of the applicable fund. Short-term investment performance is not the only factor in selecting or terminating a subadviser, and the investment manager does not expect to make frequent changes of subadvisers. Certain subadvisers, affiliated with the investment manager, have been directly approved by shareholders. These subadvisers are noted in Table 17.

The investment manager allocates the assets of a fund with multiple subadvisers among the subadvisers. Each subadviser has discretion, subject to oversight by the Board and the investment manager, to purchase and sell portfolio assets, consistent with the fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. Generally, the services that a subadviser provides to the fund are limited to asset management and related recordkeeping services.

The investment manager has entered into an advisory agreement with each subadviser under which the subadviser provides investment advisory assistance and day-to-day management of some or all of the fund’s portfolio, as well as investment research and statistical information. A subadviser may also serve as a discretionary or non-discretionary investment adviser to management or advisory accounts that are unrelated in any manner to the investment manager or its affiliates.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 106

The following table shows the advisory fee schedules for fees paid by the investment manager to subadvisers for funds that have subadvisers. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 118

Potential Conflicts of Interest


(1)		Columbia Management: Management of funds-of-funds differs from that of the other funds. The portfolio management process is set forth generally below and in more detail in the funds’ prospectus.

		Portfolio managers of the fund-of-funds may be involved in determining each funds-of-fund’s allocation among the three main asset classes (equity, fixed income and cash) and the allocation among investment categories within each asset class, as well as each funds-of-fund’s allocation among the underlying funds.

		• Because of the structure of the funds-of-funds, the potential conflicts of interest for the portfolio managers may be different than the potential conflicts of interest for portfolio managers who manage other funds.

		In addition to the accounts above, portfolio managers may manage accounts in a personal capacity that may include holdings that are similar to, or the same as, those of the fund. The investment manager has in place a Code of Ethics that is designed to address conflicts and that, among other things, imposes restrictions on the ability of the portfolio managers and other “investment access persons” to invest in securities that may be recommended or traded in the fund and other client accounts.


(2)		Columbia Management: Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a fund’s portfolio manager(s) may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the fund and other accounts at the same time. The investment manager and the funds have adopted compliance policies and procedures that attempt to address certain of the potential conflicts that portfolio managers face in this regard. Certain of these conflicts of interest are summarized below.


		The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance (performance fee accounts), may raise potential conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager by creating an incentive to favor higher fee accounts.

		Potential conflicts of interest also may arise when a portfolio manager has personal investments in other accounts that may create an incentive to favor those accounts. As a general matter and subject to the investment manager’s Code of Ethics and certain limited exceptions, the investment manager’s investment professionals do not have the opportunity to invest in client accounts, other than the funds.

		A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts managed by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies.

		A portfolio manager may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the funds. A portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of broker/dealers could produce disproportionate costs and benefits among the funds and the other accounts the portfolio manager manages.

		A potential conflict of interest may arise when a portfolio manager buys or sells the same securities for a fund and other accounts. On occasions when a portfolio manager considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a fund as well as other accounts, the investment manager’s trading desk may, to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or bought in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a fund or another account if a portfolio manager favors one account over another in allocating the securities bought or sold.

		“Cross trades,” in which a portfolio manager sells a particular security held by a fund to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), could involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, a portfolio manager is permitted to sell a security from one account to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. The investment manager and the funds have adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between a fund and another account managed by the investment manager are to be made at a current market price, consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

		Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of a fund and other accounts managed by its portfolio manager(s). Depending on another account’s objectives and other factors, a portfolio manager may give advice to and make decisions for a fund that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to another account. A portfolio manager’s investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a portfolio manager may buy or sell a particular security for certain accounts, and not for a fund, even though it could have been bought or sold for the fund at the same time. A portfolio manager also may buy a particular security for one or more accounts when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when a portfolio manager’s purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts, including the funds.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 119


		A fund’s portfolio manager(s) also may have other potential conflicts of interest in managing the fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could exist in managing the fund and other accounts. Many of the potential conflicts of interest to which the investment manager’s portfolio managers are subject are essentially the same or similar to the potential conflicts of interest related to the investment management activities of the investment manager and its affiliates.


(3)		Turner: As is typical for many money managers, potential conflicts of interest may arise related to Turner’s management of accounts including the fund where not all accounts are able to participate in a desired IPO, or other limited opportunity, relating to use of soft dollars and other brokerage practices, related to the voting of proxies, employee personal securities trading, and relating to a variety of other circumstances. In all cases, however, Turner believes it has written policies and procedures in place reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws and to prevent material conflicts of interest from arising. Please also see Turner’s Form ADV, Part II for a description of some of its policies and procedures in this regard.


(4)		Columbia Management: Management of the Income Builder Fund-of-Funds differs from that of the other funds. The portfolio management process is set forth generally below and in more detail in the fund’s prospectus.


		The investment manager uses quantitative models combined with qualitative factors to determine the funds allocations to the underlying funds. Using these methodologies, a group of the investment manager’s investment professionals allocates the fund’s assets within and across different asset classes in an effort to achieve the fund’s objective of providing a high level of current income and growth of capital. The fund will typically be rebalanced monthly in an effort to maximize the level of income and capital growth, incorporating various measures of relative value subject to constraints that set minimum or maximum exposure within asset classes, as set forth in the prospectus. Within the equity and fixed income asset classes, the investment manager establishes allocations for the funds, seeking to achieve each fund’s objective by investing in defined investment categories. The target allocation range constraints are intended, in part, to promote diversification within the asset classes.


		Because of the structure of funds-of-funds, the potential conflicts of interest for the portfolio managers may be different than the potential conflicts of interest for portfolio managers who manage other funds. These potential conflicts of interest include:


		• In certain cases, the portfolio managers of the underlying funds are the same as the portfolio managers of the Income Builder Fund-of-Funds, and could influence the allocation of fund-of-funds assets to or away from the underlying funds that they manage.


		• The investment manager and its affiliates may receive higher compensation as a result of allocations to underlying funds with higher fees.


		The investment manager monitors the performance of the underlying funds and may, from time to time, recommend to the Board of Trustees of the funds a change in portfolio management or fund strategy or the closure or merger of an underlying fund. In addition, the investment manager may believe that certain funds may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. All of these factors may also influence decisions in connection with the allocation of funds-of-funds assets to or away from certain underlying funds.


		In addition to the accounts above, portfolio managers may manage accounts in a personal capacity that may include holdings that are similar to, or the same as, those of the fund. The investment manager has in place a Code of Ethics that is designed to address conflicts and that, among other things, imposes restrictions on the ability of the portfolio managers and other “investment access persons” to invest in securities that may be recommended or traded in the fund and other client accounts.


(5)		Mondrian: Mondrian does not foresee any material conflicts of interest that may arise in the management of the funds and any other accounts managed with similar investment guidelines. Mondrian acts solely as an investment manager and does not engage in any other business activities. The following is a list of some potential conflicts of interest that can arise in the course of normal investment management business activities. Mondrian maintains and operates various policies and procedures which are designed to prevent or manage any of the conflicts identified below so that the interests of its clients are always put ahead of Mondrian’s own interests or those of its employees and directors:


		Access to non-public information
		As an Investment Manager Mondrian may come in to contact with information about a company that is not generally available to the investing public. Mondrian’s policy and procedures for handling any conflicts of interest arising from access to nonpublic information are set out in the Mondrian Investment Partners Limited Code of Ethics under “Policy


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 120


		Statement on Insider Trading and Securities Fraud”. If an employee is uncertain as to whether an interest or relationship is material or adverse, they should consult the Chief Compliance Officer for guidance.

		Allocation of aggregated trades
		Mondrian may from time to time aggregate trades for a number of its clients.

		Mondrian’s policy requires that all allocations of aggregated trades must be fair between clients. Transactions involving commingled orders are allocated in a manner deemed equitable to each account. When a combined order is executed in a series of transactions, at different prices, each account participating in the order may be allocated an average price obtained from the broker/dealer. When a trade can be allocated in a cost efficient manner to our clients, it will be prorated across all participating accounts. Mondrian may randomly allocate purchases or sales among participating accounts when the amounts involved are too small to be evenly proportioned in a cost efficient manner. In performing random allocations, Mondrian will consider consistency of strategy implementation among participating accounts.

		Allocation of investment opportunities
		Mondrian is an investment manager of multiple client portfolios. As such, it has to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly between clients. There is a potential risk that Mondrian may favor one client over another client in making allocations of investment opportunities.

		Mondrian makes security selection decisions at committee level. Those securities identified as investment opportunities are added to a list of approved securities; portfolios will hold only such approved securities.

		All portfolios governed by the same or a similar mandate will be structured similarly (that is, will hold the same or comparable stocks), and will exhibit similar characteristics. Sale and purchase opportunities identified at regular investment meetings will be applied to portfolios across the board, subject to the requirements of individual client mandates. See also “Side-by-side management of hedge funds” below.

		Cherry picking
		Cherry picking is an abusive practice whereby an investment firm misrepresents its stock selecting skills by only showing top performing securities in promoting its investment services. Mondrian’s production of marketing materials is centrally controlled and independently reviewed to ensure that all materials are fair and not misleading.

		Dealing in investments as agent for more than one party
		Conflicts of interest exist when a portfolio management firm manages multiple client portfolios. Mondrian addresses these potential conflicts through the operation of dealing policies designed to ensure the fair and equal treatment of all clients e.g. the allocation of aggregated trades among clients.

		Allocation of IPO opportunities
		Initial Public Offerings (“IPO’s”) present a potential conflict of interest when they are priced at a discount to the anticipated secondary market price and the issuer has restricted or scaled back its allocation due to market demand. In such instances, the IPO allocation could be divided among a small select group of clients with others not receiving the allocation they would otherwise be entitled to. Mondrian clients with relevant mandates are given an equal opportunity, proportionate to the size of their portfolio, to participate in IPO trades. All IPO purchases are allocated on a strict pro-rata basis.

		Dealing in investments as principal in connections with the provision of seed capital
		A conflict of interest exists when a portfolio management firm manages its own money alongside client money.

		Mondrian generally does not trade for its own account. However, Mondrian and its affiliates have provided the seed capital to certain investment vehicles that have been established by Mondrian group entities. Mondrian serves as the investment manager to these investment vehicles.

		Mondrian operates dealing policies designed to ensure the fair and equal treatment of all clients e.g. the allocation of aggregated trades among clients. These policies ensure that any portfolios in which Mondrian has an investment interest do not receive favorable treatment relative to other client portfolios.

		Directorships and external arrangements
		Certain Mondrian staff may hold positions in external organizations. There is a potential risk that Mondrian personnel may place their own interests (resulting from outside employment/directorships) ahead of the interests of Mondrian clients. Before accepting an executive or non-executive directorship or any other appointment in another company, employees, including executive directors, must obtain the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer must also be informed of all such appointments and changes. The CEO and CCO will only permit appointments that would not present a conflict of interest with the individual’s responsibilities to Mondrian clients.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 121


		Dual agency
		Dual Agency (also known as Cross Trading) concerns those transactions where Mondrian may act as agent for both the buyer and seller. In such circumstances there is a potential conflict of interest as it may be possible to favor one client over another when establishing the execution price and/or commission rate.

		Although it rarely does so, Mondrian may act as agent for both buying and selling parties with respect to transactions in investments. If Mondrian proposes to act in such capacity, the Portfolio Manager will first obtain approval from the Chief Compliance Officer. The CCO has an obligation to ensure that both parties are treated fairly in any such trade.

		Employee compensation
		There is a potential risk that Mondrian’s compensation structure may incentivize employees to place their interests ahead of client interests, or, place one client’s interests ahead of another. Mondrian’s compensation structure does not provide incentives for any member staff to favor any client (or group of clients). Incentives (Bonus and Equity Programs) focus on the key areas of research quality, long-term and short-term performance, teamwork, client service and marketing. At Mondrian, the investment management of particular portfolios is not “star manager” based but uses a team system. This means that Mondrian’s investment professionals are primarily assessed on their contribution to the team’s effort and results, though with an important element of their assessment being focused on the quality of their individual research contribution.

		Employee personal account dealing
		There are a number of potential conflicts when staff of an investment firm engage in buying and selling securities for their personal account. Mondrian has arrangements in place to ensure that none of its directors, officers or employees (or persons connected to them by way of a business or domestic relationship) effects any transaction on their own account which conflicts with client interests. Mondrian’s rules which govern personal account dealing and general ethical standards are set out in the Mondrian Investment Partners Code of Ethics.

		Gifts and entertainment (received)
		In the normal course of business Mondrian employees may receive gifts and entertainment from third parties e.g. brokers and other service providers. This results in a potential conflict of interest when selecting third parties to provide services to Mondrian and its clients. Mondrian has a policy which requires that gifts and entertainment received are reported to the Chief Compliance Officer (any items in excess of £100 require pre-approval). All gifts and entertainment are reviewed to ensure that they are not inappropriate and that staff have not been unduly influenced by them.

		Gifts and entertainment (given)
		In the normal course of business, Mondrian employees may provide gifts and entertainment to third parties. Excessively lavish gifts and entertainment would be inappropriate. Mondrian has a policy which requires that any gifts and entertainment provided are reported to the Chief Compliance Officer (any items in excess of £200 require pre-approval). All gifts and entertainment are reviewed to ensure that they are not inappropriate and that staff have not attempted to obtain undue influence from them.

		Investment in shares issued by Companies who are clients of Mondrian
		Mondrian has client relationships with a number of entities which are associated with companies that issue securities in which Mondrian could invest client assets. This results in a potential conflict of interest. Mondrian makes stock selection decisions at a committee level. If a security is identified as offering a good investment opportunity it is added to Mondrian’s list of approved securities. All portfolios governed by the same or a similar mandate are structured similarly, that is, will hold the same or comparable securities. Mondrian would not consider client relationships when analyzing securities and would not add a holding to, or remove one from, the approved list because of a client relationship.

		Management of investment capacity
		Where there is limited capacity in Mondrian’s investment products, there is a potential for a conflict of interest in relation to how that capacity is allocated when there is strong demand. With regard to a closing policy, Mondrian recognizes the importance and the challenge of managing the growth of assets under management without compromising the interests of existing clients. To this end, the company has a track record of closing products early. In recent years Mondrian has soft closed its core EAFE and all-cap Emerging Markets equity products. These closures have been carried out early to give existing clients some further, albeit limited, scope for contribution to funds invested. Also, capacity in these styles has been reserved for Mondrian’s co-mingled vehicles.

		Performance fees
		Where an investment firm has clients with a performance fee arrangement there is a risk that those clients could be favored over clients without performance fees. Mondrian charges fees as a proportion of assets under management. In a


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 122


		very limited number of situations, in addition to this fee basis, certain accounts also include a performance fee basis. The potential conflict of interest arising from these fee arrangements is addressed by Mondrian’s procedures for the allocation of aggregated trades among clients. Investment opportunities are allocated totally independently of fee arrangements.

		Portfolio holdings disclosure
		Detailed portfolio holdings information can potentially be used by one or more clients/shareholders to obtain advantage over others who do not have access to that information. There is a potential risk that Mondrian could make nonpublic portfolio holdings information available to one or more select clients before it is made available to all relevant clients. Conflicts of interest arising from access to nonpublic information are addressed in the Mondrian Investment Partners Limited Code of Ethics under “Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Securities Fraud”. Additionally, Mondrian has procedures in place to ensure that client portfolio holdings information (including co-mingled funds) is kept confidential and is not inappropriately released to one or more clients/shareholders ahead of others.

		Portfolio pumping
		Portfolio pumping is the act of bidding up the value of a client’s holdings immediately before the end of a calendar quarter, or other period when portfolio performance is measured. This is done by using a client’s funds to place an excessive volume of trades in securities held by another client. This may drive up the value of the holdings on a temporary basis. Mondrian does not permit trading for the purpose of temporarily improving the performance of a portfolio. Mondrian’s investment procedures require all changes to portfolio holdings to be approved by the relevant Investment Committee. Although portfolio performance is measured and reported to clients on a monthly basis, Mondrian’s clients assess portfolio returns and relative performance on a longer term basis, in accordance with Mondrian’s long-term investment approach.

		Pricing and valuation
		There is a potential conflict of interest inherent in every valuation where an investment management firm is compensated on asset size and/or portfolio performance. Mondrian has policies and procedures in place to ensure that an appropriate independent pricing source is used for all security types. Adherence to these policies and procedures is monitored using exception reporting, as well as regular review, testing and evaluation of the adequacy of the procedures.

		Proxy voting
		Mondrian has a potential conflict of interest with its underlying clients when it has discretion to exercise voting authority in respect to client securities. Mondrian has implemented Proxy Voting policies and procedures that are designed to ensure that it votes client securities in the best interest of clients. In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, Mondrian has contracted with an independent company, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) to analyze proxy statements on behalf of its clients and vote proxies in accordance with its procedures.

		Relationships with consultants
		Investment consultants typically provide advisory services to Mondrian’s clients and Mondrian occasionally purchases services from these consultants. The conflict of interest in these relationships rests mainly with the investment consulting firm itself. However, Mondrian will take care to ensure that any services it purchases from such firms are appropriate and would not reasonably be considered to be an inducement to that firm.

		Side-by-side management of hedge funds (Mondrian Alpha Funds)
		Where an investment manager has responsibility for managing long only portfolios alongside portfolios that can take short positions there is potential for a conflict of interest to arise between the two types of portfolio. Mondrian acts as investment manager for a Fixed Income Alpha and an Equity Alpha fund. The Alpha Funds are permitted to take short positions and are also permitted to invest in some or all of the same securities that Mondrian manages for other clients. Mondrian is satisfied that the investment styles of these different products significantly reduce the likelihood of a conflict of interest arising. However, Mondrian has a number of policies and procedures in place that are designed to ensure that any potential conflicts are correctly managed and monitored so that all clients are treated fairly.

		Soft dollar arrangements
		Where an investment manager has soft dollar arrangements in place with a broker/dealer there is a potential conflict of interest as trading volumes through that broker/dealer are usually important in ensuring that soft dollar targets are met. As is typical in the investment management industry, Mondrian client funds are used to pay brokerage commissions for the execution of transactions in the client’s portfolio. As part of that execution service, brokers generally provide proprietary research to their clients as to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing of analyses and reports concerning issuers, securities or industries; and providing information on economic factors and trends. Proprietary


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 123


		research may be used by Mondrian in connection with its investment decision-making process with respect to one or more accounts managed by it, and it may or may not be used, or used exclusively, with respect to the account generating the brokerage. With the exception of the receipt of proprietary research, Mondrian has no other soft dollar or commission sharing arrangements in place with brokers.

		Step-Out Trades
		A step-out trade occurs when a brokerage firm executes an order, but gives other firms credit and some of the commission for the trade. Mondrian has no incentive to use step-out trades.

		Transactions with affiliated brokers
		Mondrian does not currently have any affiliated brokers.

		Window dressing
		Window dressing is a strategy which can be used by portfolio managers near the end of a reporting period to improve the appearance of portfolio performance before presenting it to clients. To window dress, a portfolio manager may sell securities with large losses and purchase stocks that have done well, near the end of the reporting period. The list of holdings sent to clients will thus include the high performing securities, and exclude the poor performing securities. Window dressing can also be used to invest in securities that do not meet the style of an account, without clients being aware. Mondrian does not permit window dressing or other trading for the purpose of improving the appearance of a client’s performance. Mondrian’s investment procedures require all changes to portfolio holdings to be approved by the relevant Investment Committee. Although portfolio holdings are reported to clients on a monthly basis, Mondrian’s clients assess portfolio returns and relative performance on a longer term basis, in accordance with Mondrian’s long-term investment approach.


(6)		Donald Smith: Donald Smith & Co., Inc. is very sensitive to conflicts of interest that could possibly arise in its capacity of serving as an investment adviser. It remains committed to resolving any and all conflicts in the best interest of its clients.


		Donald Smith & Co., Inc. is an independent investment advisor with no parent or subsidiary organizations. Additionally, it has no affiliated organizations, brokerage, nor any investment banking activities.

		Clients include mutual funds, public and corporate pension plans, endowments and foundations, and other separate accounts. Donald Smith & Co., Inc. has put in place systems, policies and procedures, which have been designed to maintain fairness in portfolio management across all clients. Potential conflicts between funds or with other types of accounts are managed via allocation policies and procedures, internal review processes, and direct oversight by Donald G. Smith, President.


(7)		Tradewinds: Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented with the following potential conflicts, which is not intended to be an exhaustive list:


		• The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Tradewinds seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.

		• If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Tradewinds has adopted procedures for fairly allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.

		• With respect to many of its clients’ accounts, Tradewinds determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Tradewinds may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Tradewinds may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.

		• Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Tradewinds has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 124


		Tradewinds has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.


(8)		BHMS: Actual or potential conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has management responsibilities to more than one account (including the Fund). BHMS manages potential conflicts between funds or with other types of accounts through allocation policies and procedures, internal review processes and oversight by directors and independent third parties to ensure that no client, regardless of type or fee structure, is intentionally favored at the expense of another. Allocation policies are designed to address potential conflicts in situations where two or more funds or accounts participate in investment decisions involving the same securities.


(9)		MetWest: MetWest Capital’s portfolio managers generally face two types of conflicts of interest: (1) conflicts between and among the interests of the various accounts they manage, and (2) conflicts between the interests of the accounts they manage and their own personal interests. The policies of MetWest Capital require that portfolio managers treat all accounts they manage equitably and fairly in the face of such real or potential conflicts, The management of multiple funds and other accounts may require the portfolio manager to devote less than all of his or her time to a fund, particularly if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks and time horizons. The portfolio manager may also be required to allocate his or her investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. In addition, if a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity, such as an IPO that may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of that investment across all eligible funds and accounts. Further, security purchase and sale orders for multiple accounts often are aggregated for purpose of execution. Although such aggregation generally benefits clients, it may cause the price or brokerage costs to be less favorable to a particular client than if similar transactions were not being executed concurrently for other accounts. It may also happen that a fund’s adviser or sub-adviser will determine that it would be in the best interest, and consistent with the investment policies, of another account to sell a security (including by means of a short sale) that a fund holds long, potentially resulting in a decrease in the market value of the security held by the fund.


		As noted above, portfolio managers may also experience certain conflicts between the interests of the accounts they manage and their own personal interests (which may include interests in advantaging MetWest Capital). The structure of a portfolio manager’s or an investment advisor’s compensation may create an incentive for the manager or advisor to favor accounts whose performance has a greater impact on such compensation. The portfolio manager may, for example, have an incentive to allocate favorable or limited opportunity investments or structure the timing of investments to favor such accounts. Similarly, if a portfolio manager holds a larger personal investment in one fund than he or she does in another, the portfolio manager may have an incentive to favor the fund in which he or she holds a larger stake. In general, MetWest Capital has policies and procedures to address the various potential conflicts of interest described above. It has policies and procedures designed to ensure that portfolio managers have sufficient time and resources to devote to the various accounts they manage. Similarly, it has policies and procedures designed to ensure that investments and investment opportunities are allocated fairly across accounts, and that the interests of client accounts are placed ahead of a portfolio manager’s personal interests. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect or address each and every situation where a conflict arises.


(10)		Threadneedle: Threadneedle Investments portfolio managers may manage one or more mutual funds as well as other types of accounts, including proprietary accounts, separate accounts for institutions, and other pooled investment vehicles. Portfolio managers make investment decisions for an account or portfolio based on its investment objectives and policies, and other relevant investment considerations. A portfolio manager may manage a separate account or other pooled investment vehicle whose fees may be materially greater than the management fees paid by the Fund and may include a performance-based fee. Management of multiple funds and accounts may create potential conflicts of interest relating to the allocation of investment opportunities, and the aggregation and allocation of trades. In addition, the portfolio manager’s responsibilities at Threadneedle Investments include working as a securities analyst. This dual role may give rise to conflicts with respect to making investment decisions for accounts that he/she manages versus communicating his/her analyses to other portfolio managers concerning securities that he/she follows as an analyst.


		Threadneedle Investments has a fiduciary responsibility to all of the clients for which it manages accounts. Threadneedle Investments seeks to provide best execution of all securities transactions and to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate securities to client accounts in a fair and timely manner. Threadneedle Investments has developed policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, designed to mitigate and manage the potential conflicts of interest that may arise from the management of multiple types of accounts for multiple clients.


(11)		Columbia WAM: Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a Fund’s portfolio manager(s) may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Fund and other accounts at the same time.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 125


		The Advisor (Columbia Wanger Asset Management) and the Funds have adopted compliance policies and procedures that attempt to address certain of the potential conflicts that portfolio managers face in this regard. Certain of these conflicts of interest are summarized below.

		The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance (performance fee accounts), if any, may raise potential conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager by creating an incentive to favor higher fee accounts.

		Potential conflicts of interest also may arise when a portfolio manager has personal investments in other accounts that may create an incentive to favor those accounts. As a general matter and subject to the Advisor’s Code of Ethics and certain limited exceptions, the Advisor’s investment professionals do not have the opportunity to invest in client accounts, other than the Funds.

		A portfolio manager who is responsible for managing multiple funds and/or accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those funds and/or accounts. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts managed by a particular portfolio manager have different investment strategies.

		A portfolio manager may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Funds. A portfolio manager’s decision as to the selection of broker/dealers could produce disproportionate costs and benefits among the Funds and the other accounts the portfolio manager manages.

		A potential conflict of interest may arise when a portfolio manager buys or sells the same securities for a Fund and other accounts. On occasions when a portfolio manager considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, the Advisor’s trading desk may, to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or bought in order to obtain the best execution and lower brokerage commissions, if any. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if a portfolio manager favors one account over another in allocating the securities bought or sold.

		“Cross trades,” in which a portfolio manager sells a particular security held by a Fund to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), could involve a potential conflict of interest if, for example, a portfolio manager is permitted to sell a security from one account to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. The Advisor and the Funds have adopted compliance procedures that provide that any transactions between the Fund and another account managed by the Advisor are to be made at an independent current market price, consistent with applicable laws and regulation.

		Another potential conflict of interest may arise based on the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts managed by its portfolio manager(s). Depending on another account’s objectives and other factors, a portfolio manager may give advice to and make decisions for a Fund that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to another account. A portfolio manager’s investment decisions are the product of many factors in addition to basic suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a portfolio manager may buy or sell a particular security for certain accounts, and not for a Fund, even though it could have been bought or sold for the Fund at the same time. A portfolio manager also may buy a particular security for one or more accounts when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when a portfolio manager’s purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts, including the Funds.

		A Fund’s portfolio manager(s) also may have other potential conflicts of interest in managing the Fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Fund and other accounts. Many of the potential conflicts of interest to which the Advisor’s portfolio managers are subject are essentially the same as or similar to the potential conflicts of interest related to the investment management activities of the Advisor and its affiliates.


(12)		AllianceBernstein: As an investment adviser and fiduciary, AllianceBernstein owes its clients and shareholders an undivided duty of loyalty. We recognize that conflicts of interest are inherent in our business and accordingly have developed policies and procedures (including oversight monitoring) reasonably designed to detect, manage and mitigate the effects of actual or potential conflicts of interest in the area of employee personal trading, managing multiple accounts for multiple clients, including AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds, and allocating investment opportunities. Investment professionals, including portfolio managers and research analysts, are subject to the above-mentioned policies and oversight monitoring to ensure that all clients are treated equitably. We place the interests of our clients first and expect all of our employees to meet their fiduciary duties.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 126


		Employee Personal Trading
		AllianceBernstein has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is designed to detect and prevent conflicts of interest when investment professionals and other personnel of AllianceBernstein own, buy or sell securities which may be owned by, or bought or sold for, clients. Personal securities transactions by an employee may raise a potential conflict of interest when an employee owns or trades in a security that is owned or considered for purchase or sale by a client, or recommended for purchase or sale by an employee to a client. Subject to the reporting requirements and other limitations of its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, AllianceBernstein permits its employees to engage in personal securities transactions. AllianceBernstein’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires disclosure of all personal accounts and maintenance of brokerage accounts with designated broker-dealers approved by AllianceBernstein. The Code also requires preclearance of all securities transactions and imposes a 90 day holding period for securities purchased by employees to discourage short-term trading.

		Managing Multiple Accounts for Multiple Clients
		AllianceBernstein has compliance policies and oversight monitoring in place to address conflicts of interest relating to the management of multiple accounts for multiple clients. Conflicts of interest may arise when an investment professional has responsibilities for the investments of more than one account because the investment professional may be unable to devote equal time and attention to each account. The investment professional or investment professional teams for each client may have responsibilities for managing all or a portion of the investments of multiple accounts with a common investment strategy, including other registered investment companies, unregistered investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, pension plans, separate accounts, collective trusts and charitable foundations. Among other things, AllianceBernstein’s policies and procedures provide for the prompt dissemination to investment professionals of initial or changed investment recommendations by analysts so that investment professionals are better able to develop investment strategies for all accounts they manage. In addition, investment decisions by investment professionals are reviewed for the purpose of maintaining uniformity among similar accounts and ensuring that accounts are treated equitably. No investment professional that manages client accounts carrying performance fees is compensated directly or specifically for the performance of those accounts. Investment professional compensation reflects a broad contribution in multiple dimensions to long-term investment success for our clients and is not tied specifically to the performance of any particular client’s account, nor is it directly tied to the level or change in the level of assets under management.

		Allocating Investment Opportunities
		AllianceBernstein has policies and procedures intended to address conflicts of interest relating to the allocation of investment opportunities. These policies and procedures are designed to ensure that information relevant to investment decisions is disseminated promptly within its portfolio management teams and investment opportunities are allocated equitably among different clients. The investment professionals at AllianceBernstein routinely are required to select and allocate investment opportunities among accounts. Portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across similar accounts, which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest relating to the allocation of investment opportunities. Nevertheless, investment opportunities may be allocated differently among accounts due to the particular characteristics of an account, such as size of the account, cash position, tax status, risk tolerance and investment restrictions or for other reasons.

		AllianceBernstein’s procedures are also designed to prevent potential conflicts of interest that may arise when AllianceBernstein has a particular financial incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, relating to an account. An investment professional may perceive that he or she has an incentive to devote more time to developing and analyzing investment strategies and opportunities or allocating securities preferentially to accounts for which AllianceBernstein could share in investment gains.

		To address these conflicts of interest, AllianceBernstein’s policies and procedures require, among other things, the prompt dissemination to investment professionals of any initial or changed investment recommendations by analysts; the aggregation of orders to facilitate best execution for all accounts; price averaging for all aggregated orders; objective allocation for limited investment opportunities (e.g., on a rotational basis) to ensure fair and equitable allocation among accounts; and limitations on short sales of securities. These procedures also require documentation and review of justifications for any decisions to make investments only for select accounts or in a manner disproportionate to the size of the account.


(13)		Marsico Capital: As a general matter, Marsico Capital faces the same need to balance the interests of different clients that any investment adviser with multiple clients might experience. Portfolio managers make investment decisions for each portfolio based on the investment objectives, policies, practices and other relevant investment considerations that the managers believe are applicable to that portfolio. Consequently, portfolio managers may purchase (or sell) securities for one portfolio and not another portfolio, or may take similar actions for different portfolios at different times. As a result, the mix of securities purchased in one portfolio may perform better than the mix of securities purchased for


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 127


		another portfolio. Similarly, the sale of securities from one portfolio may cause that portfolio to perform better than others if the value of those securities subsequently declines. The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Although Marsico Capital does not track the time a portfolio manager spends on a single portfolio, it does assess whether a portfolio manager has adequate time and resources to effectively manage all of the accounts for which he is responsible. Marsico Capital seeks to manage competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers.

		The need to balance the interests of multiple clients may also arise when allocating and/or aggregating trades. Marsico Capital often aggregates into a single trade order several individual contemporaneous client trade orders in a single security. Under Marsico Capital’s Portfolio Management and Trade Management Policy and Procedures, when trades are aggregated on behalf of more than one account, Marsico Capital seeks to allocate such trades to participating client accounts in a fair and equitable manner. With respect to Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and other syndicated or limited offerings, it is Marsico Capital’s policy to seek to ensure that over the long term, accounts with the same or similar investment objectives or strategies will receive an equitable opportunity to participate meaningfully and will not be unfairly disadvantaged. To deal with these situations, Marsico Capital has adopted policies and procedures for allocating transactions across multiple accounts. Marsico Capital’s policies also seek to ensure that portfolio managers do not systematically allocate other types of trades in a manner that would be more beneficial to one account than another. Marsico Capital’s compliance department monitors transactions made on behalf of multiple clients to seek to ensure adherence to its policies.

		Marsico Capital has adopted and implemented policies and procedures that seek to minimize potential conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of a portfolio manager advising multiple accounts. In addition, Marsico Capital monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with primary Fund guidelines, the allocation of securities, and compliance with its Code of Ethics.

Structure of Compensation


(14)		Columbia Management: Portfolio managers received all of their compensation in the form of salary, bonus, stock options, restricted stock, and notional investments through an incentive plan, the value of which is measured by reference to the performance of the funds in which the account is invested. A portfolio manager’s bonus is variable and generally is based on (1) an evaluation of the portfolio manager’s investment performance and (2) the results of a peer and/or management review of the portfolio manager, which takes into account skills and attributes such as team participation, investment process, communication and professionalism. In evaluating investment performance, the investment manager generally considers the one, three and five year performance of mutual funds and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager relative to applicable benchmarks and peer groups, emphasizing the portfolio manager’s three and five year performance. The investment manager also may consider a portfolio manager’s performance in managing client assets in sectors and industries assigned to the portfolio manager as part of his/her investment team responsibilities, where applicable. For portfolio managers who also have group management responsibilities, another factor in their evaluation is an assessment of the group’s overall investment performance.


		The size of the overall bonus pool each year depends on, among other factors, the levels of compensation generally in the investment management industry (based on market compensation data) and the investment manager’s profitability for the year, which is largely determined by assets under management.

		Exceptions to this general compensation approach exist for certain teams and individuals.


(15)		Columbia Management: The compensation of specified Portfolio Builder portfolio managers consists of (i) a base salary, (ii) an annual cash bonus, and (iii) equity incentive awards in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock. The annual cash bonus is based on management’s assessment of the employee’s performance relative to individual and business unit goals and objectives which, for portfolio manager Moore, may be based, in part, on achieving certain investment performance goals and retaining and attracting assets under management, and for portfolio manager Bergene, on developing competitive products, managing existing products, and selecting and monitoring subadvisers for Columbia funds. In addition, subject to certain vesting requirements, the compensation of portfolio manager Moore includes an annual award based on the performance of Ameriprise Financial over rolling three-year periods.


(16)		Columbia Management: Specified Portfolio Builder portfolio managers received all of their compensation in the form of salary, bonus, stock options, restricted stock, and notional investments through an incentive plan, the value of which is measured by reference to the performance of the funds in which the account is invested. A portfolio manager’s bonus is variable and generally is based on (1) an evaluation of the portfolio manager’s investment performance and (2) the results of a peer and/or management review of the portfolio manager, which takes into account skills and attributes such as team participation, investment process, communication and professionalism. In evaluating investment performance, the investment manager generally considers the one, three and five year performance of mutual funds and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager relative to applicable benchmarks and peer groups, emphasizing the


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 128


		portfolio manager’s three and five year performance. The investment manager also may consider a portfolio manager’s performance in managing client assets in sectors and industries assigned to the portfolio manager as part of his/her investment team responsibilities, where applicable. For portfolio managers who also have group management responsibilities, another factor in their evaluation is an assessment of the group’s overall investment performance.

		The size of the overall bonus pool each year depends on, among other factors, the levels of compensation generally in the investment management industry (based on market compensation data) and the investment manager’s profitability for the year, which is largely determined by assets under management.

		Exceptions to this general compensation approach exist for certain teams and individuals.


(17)		Turner: Turner’s investment professionals receive a base salary commensurate with their level of experience. Turner’s goal is to maintain competitive base salaries through review of industry standards, market conditions, and salary surveys. Bonus compensation, which is a multiple of base salary, is based on the performance of each individual’s sector and portfolio assignments relative to appropriate market benchmarks. In addition, each employee is eligible for equity awards. Turner believes this compensation provides incentive to attract and retain highly qualified people.


		The objective performance criteria noted above accounts for 90% of the bonus calculation. The remaining 10% is based upon subjective, “good will” factors including teamwork, interpersonal relations, the individual’s contribution to overall success of the firm, media and client relations, presentation skills, and professional development. Portfolio managers/analysts are reviewed on an annual basis. The Chief Investment Officer, Robert E. Turner, CFA, is responsible for setting base salaries, bonus targets, and making all subjective judgments related to an investment professionals’ compensation.


(18)		Donald Smith: All employees at Donald Smith & Co., Inc. are compensated on incentive plans. The compensation for portfolio managers, analysts and traders at Donald Smith consists of a base salary, a partnership interest in the firm’s profits, and possibly an additional, discretionary bonus. This discretionary bonus can exceed 100% of the base salary if performance for clients exceeds established benchmarks. The current benchmark utilized is the Russell 2000 Value Index. Additional distribution of firm ownership is a strong motivation for continued employment at Donald Smith & Co., Inc. Administrative personnel are also given a bonus as a function of their contribution and the profitability of the firm.


(19)		BHMS: In addition to base salary, all portfolio managers and analysts at BHMS share in a bonus pool that is distributed semi-annually. Analysts and portfolio managers are rated on their value added to the team-oriented investment process. Overall compensation applies with respect to all accounts managed and compensation does not differ with respect to distinct accounts managed by a portfolio manager. Compensation is not tied to a published or private benchmark. It is important to understand that contributions to the overall investment process may include not recommending securities in an analyst’s sector if there are no compelling opportunities in the industries covered by that analyst.


		The compensation of portfolio managers is not directly tied to fund performance or growth in assets for any fund or other account managed by a portfolio manager and portfolio managers are not compensated for bringing in new business. Of course, growth in assets from the appreciation of existing assets and/or growth in new assets will increase revenues and profit. The consistent, long-term growth in assets at any investment firm is to a great extent, dependent upon the success of the portfolio management team. The compensation of the portfolio management team at the Adviser will increase over time, if and when assets continue to grow through competitive performance.


(20)		MetWest: MetWest Capital’s compensation system is designed not only to attract and retain experienced, highly qualified investment personnel, but also to closely align employees’ interests with clients’ interests. Compensation for investment professionals consists of a base salary, bonus, and generous benefits. Benefits include a comprehensive insurance benefits program (medical, vision and dental), 401(k) plan with an employer-matched contribution. A material portion of each such professional’s annual compensation is in the form of a bonus tied to results relative to clients’ benchmarks and overall client satisfaction. Bonuses may range from 20% to over 100% of salary.


		MetWest Capital’s compensation system is not determined on an account-specific basis. Rather, bonuses are tied to overall firm profitability and composite performance relative to the benchmark. The primary benchmark for the Small Cap Intrinsic Value strategy is the Russell 2000 Value Index. To reinforce long-term focus, performance is measured over MetWest Capital’s investment horizon (typically two to four years). Analysts are encouraged to maintain a long-term focus and are not compensated for the number of their recommendations that are purchased in the portfolio. Rather, their bonuses are tied to overall strategy performance.

		Mr. Lisenbee is an owner of MetWest Capital. As such, his compensation consists of a fixed salary and participation in the firm’s profits.


(21)		Columbia Management: Portfolio manager compensation is typically comprised of (i) a base salary, (ii) an annual cash bonus and may include (iii) an equity incentive award in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock. The annual cash bonus is paid from a team bonus pool that is based on the performance of the accounts managed by the


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 129


		portfolio management team, which might include mutual funds, wrap accounts, institutional portfolios and hedge funds. Funding for the bonus pool is based upon a percentage of profits generated by the institutional portfolios they manage. Lynn Hopton and Yvonne Stevens may also be paid from a bonus pool based upon the performance of the mutual fund(s) they manage. Funding for this bonus pool is determined by a percentage of the aggregate assets under management in the mutual fund(s) they manage, and by the short term (typically one-year) and long-term (typically three-year) performance of the mutual fund(s) in relation to the relevant peer group universe. Senior management of Columbia Management has the discretion to increase or decrease the size of the bonus pool related to mutual funds and to determine the exact amount of each portfolio manager’s bonus paid from this portion of the bonus pool based on his/her performance as an employee. Senior management of Columbia Management does not have discretion over the size of the bonus pool related to institutional portfolios. Columbia Management portfolio managers are provided with a benefits package, including life insurance, health insurance, and participation in a company 401(k) plan, comparable to that received by other Columbia Management employees. Certain investment personnel are also eligible to defer a portion of their compensation. An individual making this type of election can allocate the deferral to the returns associated with one or more products they manage or support or to certain other products managed by their investment team. Depending upon their job level, Columbia Management portfolio managers may also be eligible for other benefits or perquisites that are available to all Columbia Management employees at the same job level.


(22)		Columbia Management: Portfolio manager compensation is typically comprised of (i) a base salary, (ii) an annual cash bonus, and may include (iii) an equity incentive award in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock. The annual cash bonus, and in some instances the base salary, are paid from a team bonus pool that is based on the performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio management team, which might include mutual funds, wrap accounts, institutional portfolios and hedge funds. The bonus pool is determined by a percentage of the management fees on the accounts managed by the portfolio managers, including the fund. The percentage of management fees that fund the bonus pool is based on the short term (typically one-year) and long-term (typically three-year and five-year) performance of those accounts in relation to the relevant peer group universe. Funding for the bonus pool may also include a percentage of any performance fees earned on long/short mutual funds managed by the Team. With respect to hedge funds and separately managed accounts that follow a hedge fund mandate, funding for the bonus pool is a percentage of performance fees earned on the hedge funds or accounts managed by the portfolio managers. Columbia Management portfolio managers are provided with a benefits package, including life insurance, health insurance, and participation in a company 401(k) plan, comparable to that received by other Columbia Management employees. Depending upon their job level, Columbia Management portfolio managers may also be eligible for other benefits or perquisites that are available to all Columbia Management employees at the same job level.


(23)		Columbia WAM: For services performed through Dec. 31, 2009 and paid in Feb. 2010, the portfolio managers received all of their compensation from the Advisor and its then parent company, Columbia Management Group, LLC. P. Zachary Egan and Louis J. Mendes each received compensation in the form of salary and incentive compensation. For the 2009 calendar year, all of a manager’s incentive compensation was paid in cash. The Columbia WAM total incentive compensation pool was based on formulas, with investment performance of individual portfolio managers plus firm-wide investment performance, as primary drivers.


		For services performed for the 2010 calendar year and generally paid in early 2011, the portfolio managers will receive all of their compensation in the form of salary and incentive compensation provided in whole by Ameriprise Financial. Typically, a high proportion of a portfolio manager’s incentive compensation will be paid in cash with a smaller proportion going into two separate incentive plans. The first plan is a notional investment based on the performance of certain Columbia Funds, including the Columbia Acorn Funds. The second plan consists of Ameriprise Financial restricted stock and/or options. Both plans vest over three years from the date of issuance. Also, as part of the overall incentive for 2010, the portfolio managers receive additional compensation — a substantial portion of which will be deferred or paid in shares of funds managed by Columbia WAM — based on performance and continued employment through Dec. 15, 2010.

		Portfolio managers are positioned in a number of compensation tiers based on cumulative performance of the portfolios/stocks that they manage. Portfolio manager performance is measured versus primary portfolio benchmarks. One and three year performance periods primarily drive incentive levels. Incentive compensation varies by tier and can range from between a fraction of base pay to a multiple of base pay, the objective being to provide very competitive total compensation for high performing portfolio managers. Incentives are adjusted up or down up to 15% based on qualitative performance factors, which include investment performance impacts not included in benchmarks such as industry (or country) weighting recommendations, plus adherence to compliance standards, business building, and citizenship.

		In addition, the incentive amounts available for the entire pool for 2011 and 2012 will be adjusted up or down based upon the increase/decrease in Columbia WAM revenues versus an agreed upon based revenue amount. Investment


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 130


		performance, however, impact incentives for more than revenues. Columbia WAM determines incentive compensation, subject to review by Ameriprise Financial.


(24)		Columbia Management: As of the funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the portfolio managers received all of their compensation in the form of salary, bonus, stock options, restricted stock, and notional investments through an incentive plan, the value of which is measured by reference to the performance of the funds in which the account is invested. A portfolio manager’s bonus is variable and generally is based on (1) an evaluation of the portfolio manager’s investment performance and (2) the results of a peer and/or management review of the portfolio manager, which takes into account skills and attributes such as team participation, investment process, communication and professionalism. In evaluating investment performance, the investment manager generally considers the one, three and five year performance of mutual funds and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager relative to the benchmarks and peer groups noted below, emphasizing the portfolio manager’s three and five year performance. The investment manager also may consider a portfolio manager’s performance in managing client assets in sectors and industries assigned to the portfolio manager as part of his/her investment team responsibilities, where applicable. For portfolio managers who also have group management responsibilities, another factor in their evaluation is an assessment of the group’s overall investment performance.

		The size of the overall bonus pool each year depends on, among other factors, the levels of compensation generally in the investment management industry (based on market compensation data) and the investment manager’s profitability for the year, which is largely determined by assets under management.


(25)		AllianceBernstein: AllianceBernstein’s compensation program for investment professionals is designed to be competitive and effective in order to attract and retain the highest caliber employees. The compensation program for investment professionals is designed to reflect their ability to generate long-term investment success for our clients. Investment professionals do not receive any direct compensation based upon the investment returns of any individual client account,


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 131


		nor is compensation tied directly to the level or change in the level of assets under management. Investment professionals’ annual compensation is comprised of the following:


(i)	Fixed base salary: This is generally the smallest portion of compensation. The base salary is a relatively low, fixed salary within a similar range for all investment professionals. The base salary does not change significantly from year-to-year, and hence, is not particularly sensitive to performance.

(ii)

Discretionary incentive compensation in the form of an annual cash bonus: AllianceBernstein’s overall profitability determines the total amount of incentive compensation available to investment professionals. This portion of compensation is determined subjectively based on qualitative and quantitative factors. In evaluating this component of an investment professional’s compensation, AllianceBernstein considers the contribution to his/her team or discipline as it relates to that team’s overall contribution to the long-term investment success, business results and strategy of AllianceBernstein. Quantitative factors considered include, among other things, relative investment performance (e.g., by comparison to competitor or peer group funds or similar styles of investments, and appropriate, broad-based or specific market indices), and consistency of performance. There are no specific formulas used to determine this part of an investment professional’s compensation and the compensation is not tied to any pre-determined or specified level of performance. AllianceBernstein also considers qualitative factors such as the complexity and risk of investment strategies involved in the style or type of assets managed by the investment professional; success of marketing/business development efforts and client servicing; seniority/length of service with the firm; management and supervisory responsibilities; and fulfillment of AllianceBernstein’s leadership criteria.

(iii)

Discretionary incentive compensation in the form of awards under AllianceBernstein’s Incentive Compensation Award Plan (“deferred awards”): AllianceBernstein’s overall profitability determines the total amount of deferred awards available to investment professionals. The deferred awards are allocated among investment professionals based on criteria similar to those used to determine the annual cash bonus. Deferred awards, which are in the form of AllianceBernstein’s publicly traded units, vest over a four-year period and are generally forfeited if the employee resigns or AllianceBernstein terminates his/her employment.


(iv)	Contributions under AllianceBernstein’s Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan: The contributions are based on AllianceBernstein’s overall profitability. The amount and allocation of the contributions are determined at the sole discretion of AllianceBernstein.


(26)		Mondrian: Mondrian has the following programs in place to retain key investment staff:


		1. Competitive Salary — All investment professionals are remunerated with a competitive base salary.

		2. Profit Sharing Bonus Pool — All Mondrian staff, including portfolio managers and senior officers, qualify for participation in an annual profit sharing pool determined by the company’s profitability (approximately 30% of profits).

		3. Equity Ownership — Mondrian is ultimately controlled by a partnership of senior management and Hellman & Friedman LLC, an independent private equity firm. Mondrian is currently 73% owned by approximately 80 of its senior employees, including the majority of investment professionals, senior client service officers, and senior operations personnel through Atlantic Value Investment Partnership LP, and 27% owned by private equity funds sponsored by Hellman & Friedman LLC. The private equity funds sponsored by Hellman & Friedman LLC are passive, non-controlling minority investors in Mondrian and do not have day-to-day involvement in the management of Mondrian.

		Incentives (Bonus and Equity Programs) focus on the key areas of research quality, long-term and short-term stock performance, teamwork, client service and marketing. As an individual’s ability to influence these factors depends on that individual’s position and seniority within the firm, so the allocation of participation in these programs will reflect this.

		At Mondrian, the investment management of particular portfolios is not “star manager” based but uses a team system. This means that Mondrian’s investment professionals are primarily assessed on their contribution to the team’s effort and results, though with an important element of their assessment being focused on the quality of their individual research contribution.

		Compensation Committee
		In determining the amount of bonuses and equity awarded, Mondrian’s Board of Directors consults with the company’s Compensation Committee, who will make recommendations based on a number of factors including investment research, organization management, team work, client servicing and marketing.

		Defined Contribution Pension Plan
		All portfolio managers are members of the Mondrian defined contribution pension plan where Mondrian pays a regular monthly contribution and the member may pay additional voluntary contributions if they wish. The Plan is governed by Trustees who have responsibility for the trust fund and payments of benefits to members. In addition, the Plan provides death benefits for death in service and a spouse’s or dependant’s pension may also be payable.

		Mondrian believes that this compensation structure, coupled with the opportunities that exist within a successful and growing business, are adequate to attract and retain high caliber employees.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 132


(27)		Tradewinds: Tradewinds offers a highly competitive compensation structure with the purpose of attracting and retaining the most talented investment professionals. These professionals are rewarded through a combination of cash and long-term incentive compensation as determined by the firm’s executive committee. Total cash compensation (TCC) consists of both a base salary and an annual bonus that can be a multiple of the base salary. The firm annually benchmarks TCC to prevailing industry norms with the objective of achieving competitive levels for all contributing professionals.


		Available bonus pool compensation is primarily a function of the firm’s overall annual profitability. Individual bonuses are based primarily on the following:

		• Overall performance of client portfolios;

		• Objective review of stock recommendations and the quality of primary research;

		• Subjective review of the professional’s contributions to portfolio strategy, teamwork, collaboration and work ethic.

		To further strengthen our incentive compensation package and to create an even stronger alignment to the long-term success of the firm, Tradewinds has made available to most investment professionals equity participation opportunities, the values of which are determined by the increase in profitability of Tradewinds over time.

		Finally, some of our investment professionals have received additional remuneration as consideration for signing employment agreements. These agreements range from retention agreements to long-term employment contracts with significant non-solicitation and, in some cases, non-compete clauses.


(28)		Threadneedle: To align the interests of our investment staff with those of our clients the remuneration plan for senior individuals comprises basic salary, an annual profit share (linked to individual performance and the profitability of the company) and a Long Term Incentive Plan known as the Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) linked to measures of Threadneedle’s corporate success. Threadneedle believes this encourages longevity of service.


		The split between each component varies between investment professionals and will be dependent on performance and the type of funds they manage.

		The split of the profit share focuses on three key areas of success:

		• Performance of own funds and research recommendations,

		• Performance of all portfolios in the individual’s team,

		• Broader contribution to the wider thinking of the investment team, e.g. idea generation, interaction with colleagues and commitment for example to assisting the sales effort.

		Consideration of the individual’s general contribution is designed to encourage fund managers to think beyond personal portfolio performance and considers contributions made in:

		• Inter-team discussions, including asset allocation, global sector themes and weekly investment meetings,

		• Intra-team discussion, stock research and investment insights,

		• Marketing support, including written material and presentations.

		It is important to appreciate that in order to maximize an individual’s rating and hence their profit share, they need to score well in all areas. It is not sufficient to produce good personal fund performance without contributing effectively to the team and wider investment department. This structure is closely aligned with the Threadneedle’s investment principles of sharing ideas and effective communication.


(29)		Marsico Capital: The compensation package for portfolio managers of Marsico Capital is structured as a combination of base salary (reevaluated at least annually), and periodic cash bonuses. Bonuses are typically based on two primary factors: (1) Marsico Capital’s overall profitability for the period, and (2) individual achievement and contribution. Portfolio manager compensation takes into account, among other factors, the overall performance of all accounts for which the portfolio manager provides investment advisory services. In receiving compensation such as bonuses, portfolio managers do not receive special consideration based on the performance of particular accounts, and do not receive compensation from accounts charging performance-based fees. Exceptional individual efforts are rewarded through salary readjustments and greater participation in the bonus pool. No other special employee incentive arrangements are currently in place or being planned. In addition to salary and bonus, portfolio managers may participate in other Marsico Capital benefits to the same extent and on the same basis as other Marsico Capital employees. Portfolio manager compensation comes solely from Marsico Capital. In addition, Marsico Capital’s portfolio managers typically are offered equity interests in Marsico Management Equity, LLC, which indirectly owns Marsico Capital, and may receive distributions (such as earnings and losses) on those equity interests.


		As a general matter, Marsico Capital does not tie portfolio manager compensation to specific levels of performance relative to fixed benchmarks. Although performance may be a relevant consideration, comparisons with fixed benchmarks may not always be useful. Relevant benchmarks vary depending on specific investment styles and client guidelines or restrictions, and comparisons to benchmark performance may at times reveal more about market sentiment than about a portfolio manager’s abilities. To encourage a long-term horizon for managing portfolios, Marsico Capital evaluates a portfolio manager’s performance over periods longer than the immediate compensation period, and may


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 133


		consider a variety of measures such as the performance of unaffiliated portfolios with similar strategies and other measurements. Other factors that may also be significant in determining portfolio manager compensation include, without limitation, the effectiveness of the manager’s leadership within Marsico Capital’s investment team, contributions to Marsico Capital’s overall performance, discrete securities analysis, idea generation, ability to support and train other analysts, and other considerations.

TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES

The funds have a Transfer Agency Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the “transfer agent”) (formerly RiverSource Service Corporation) located at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA 02110. This agreement governs the transfer agent’s responsibility for administering and/or performing transfer agent functions, for acting as service agent in connection with dividend and distribution functions and for performing shareholder account administration agent functions in connection with the issuance, exchange and redemption or repurchase of the fund’s shares.

For Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class W, Class Y and Class Z, the transfer agent will earn an open account fee determined by multiplying the number of open accounts by the annual rate of $12.08. The annual per account fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. The fund will allocate the fee daily across their share classes based on the relative percentage of net assets of each class of shares.

In addition, for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class W and Class Z, the fund reimburses the transfer agent for the fees and expenses the transfer agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the fund subject to an annual limitation of 0.20% of the average aggregate value of the fund’s shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services, Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are reimbursed in an amount equal to $16.00 annually, calculated monthly based on the total number of positions in such account at the end of such month). For Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5, the fees paid to the transfer agent for expenses paid to financial intermediaries to maintain omnibus accounts are subject to an annual limitation of 0.05% of the net assets attributable to such shares. Class I does not pay transfer agency fees.

The fund also pays certain reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses to the transfer agent. The transfer agent also may retain as additional compensation for its services revenues for fees for wire, telephone and redemption orders, IRA trustee agent fees and account transcripts due the transfer agent from fund shareholders and credits (net of bank charges) earned with respect to balances in accounts the transfer agent maintains in connection with its services to the funds. The fees paid to the transfer agent may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.

PLAN ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

The funds that offer Class R3 and Class R4 shares have a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the transfer agent. Under the agreement the fund pays for plan administration services, including services such as implementation and conversion services, account set-up and maintenance, reconciliation and account recordkeeping, education services and administration to various plan types, including 529 plans, retirement plans and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).

The fee for services is equal on an annual basis to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the fund attributable to each of Class R3 and R4.

The fees paid to the transfer agent may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the “distributor”) (formerly RiverSource Fund Distributors, Inc.), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia Management, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA 02110, serves as the funds’ principal underwriter and distributor. Prior to June 1, 2009, for RiverSource and Threadneedle funds, RiverSource Distributors, Inc. also served as principal underwriter and distributor to the funds. Prior to Oct. 1, 2007, for RiverSource and Threadneedle funds, Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. also served as principal underwriter and distributor to the funds. Prior to Nov. 7, 2008, for Seligman funds, Seligman Advisors, Inc. also served as principal underwriter and distributor to the funds. The fund’s shares are offered on a continuous basis. Under a Distribution Agreement, sales charges deducted for distributing fund shares are paid to the distributor daily. The following table shows the sales charges paid to the distributor and the amount retained by the distributor after paying commissions and other expenses for each of the last three fiscal periods.

Part of the sales charge may be paid to selling dealers who have agreements with the distributor. The distributor will retain the balance of the sales charge. At times the entire sales charge may be paid to selling dealers.

PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF DISTRIBUTION

To help defray the cost of distribution and/or servicing not covered by the sales charges received under the Distribution Agreement, the Legacy RiverSource funds approved a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) and entered into an agreement under the Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan is a reimbursement plan whereby the fund pays the distributor a fee up to actual expenses incurred.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 143

The table below shows the maximum annual distribution and/or service fees (as an annual percent of average daily net assets) and the combined amount of such fees (as an annual percent of average daily net assets) applicable to each share class of a Legacy RiverSource fund:


Share Class	Distribution Fee	Service Fee	Combined Total
Class A	up to 0.25%	up to 0.25%	0.25%^(a)

Class B	0.75%	0.25%	1.00%^(b)

Class C	0.75%	0.25%	1.00%^(a)

Class I	None	None	None

Class R (formerly Class R2)	up to 0.50%	up to 0.25%	0.50%^(a),(c)

Class R3	0.25%	0.25%^(d)	0.50%^(d)

Class R4	None	0.25%^(d)	0.25%^(d)

Class R5	None	None	None

Class W	up to 0.25%	up to 0.25%	0.25%^(a)

Class Z	None	None	None


(a)		Fee amounts noted apply to all funds other than Columbia Money Market Fund, which, for each of Class A and Class W shares, pays distribution and service fees of 0.10%, and for Class C shares pays distribution fees of 0.75%. The distributor has voluntarily agreed, effective April 15, 2010, to waive the 12b-1 fees it receives from Class A, Class C, Class R (formerly Class R2) and Class W shares of Columbia Money Market Fund and from Class A, Class C and Class R (formerly Class R2) shares of Columbia Government Money Market Fund. Compensation paid to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries may be suspended to the extent of the distributor’s waiver of the 12b-1 fees on these specific share classes of these funds.

(b)		Fee amounts noted apply to all funds other than Columbia Money Market Fund, which pays distribution fees of up to 0.75% and service fees of up to 0.10% for a combined total of 0.85%. Effective after the close of business on Sept. 3, 2010, Class B shares will be closed to new and existing investors.

(c)		The Legacy RiverSource funds have a distribution and shareholder service plan for Class R shares, which, prior to the close of business on Sept. 3, 2010, were known as Class R2 shares. For Class R shares, the maximum fee under the plan reimbursed for distribution expenses is equal on an annual basis to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the fund attributable to Class R shares. Of that amount, up to 0.25% may be reimbursed for shareholder service expenses.

(d)		The shareholder service fees for Class R3 and Class R4 shares are not paid pursuant to a 12b-1 plan. Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement, the funds’ Class R3 and Class R4 shares pay for plan administration services, including services such as implementation and conversion services, account set-up and maintenance, reconciliation and account recordkeeping, education services and administration to various plan types, including 529 plans, retirement plans and health savings accounts.

The distribution and/or shareholder service fees for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R (formerly Class R2), Class R3 and Class W shares, as applicable, are subject to the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and are to reimburse the distributor for certain expenses it incurs in connection with distributing the fund’s shares and directly or indirectly providing services to fund shareholders. These payments or expenses include providing distribution and/or shareholder service fees to selling and/or servicing agents that sell shares of the fund or provide services to fund shareholders. The distributor may retain these fees otherwise payable to selling and/or servicing agents if the amounts due are below an amount determined by the distributor in its discretion.

For the Legacy RiverSource funds, for Class A, Class B and Class W shares, the distributor begins to pay these fees immediately after purchase. For Class C shares, the distributor pays these fees in advance for the first 12 months. Selling and/or servicing agents also receive distribution fees up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares sold and held through them, which the distributor begins to pay 12 months after purchase. For Class B shares, and, for the first 12 months following the sale of Class C shares, the distributor retains the distribution fee of up to 0.75% in order to finance the payment of sales commissions to selling and/or servicing agents, and to pay for other distribution related expenses. Selling and/or servicing agents may compensate their financial advisors with the shareholder service and distribution fees paid to them by the Distributor.

If you maintain shares of the fund directly with the fund, without working directly with a financial advisor or selling and/or servicing agent, distribution and service fees are retained by the distributor as payment or reimbursement for incurring certain distribution and shareholder service related expenses.

Over time, these distribution and/or shareholder service fees will reduce the return on your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. The fund will pay these fees to the distributor and/or to eligible selling and/or servicing agents for as long as the distribution and/or shareholder servicing plans continue in effect. The fund may reduce or discontinue payments at any time. Your selling and/or servicing agent may also charge you other additional fees for providing services to your account, which may be different from those described here.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 144

For its most recent fiscal period, each fund paid 12b-1 fees as shown in the following table. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

The distributor and its affiliates make or support additional cash payments out of their own resources (including profits earned from providing services to the funds) to financial intermediaries, including payment to affiliated broker-dealers, in connection with agreements between the distributor and financial intermediaries pursuant to which these financial intermediaries sell fund shares and provide services to their clients who are shareholders of the funds. These payments do not change the price paid by investors and fund shareholders for the purchase or ownership of shares of the funds, and these payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses of the funds, as they are not paid by the funds. These payments are in addition to fees paid by the funds to the distributor under 12b-1 plans, which fees may be used to compensate financial intermediaries for the distribution of fund shares and the servicing of fund shareholders, or paid by the funds to the transfer agent under the transfer agent agreement or plan administration agreement, which fees may be used to support networking or servicing fees to compensate financial intermediaries for supporting shareholder account maintenance, sub-accounting, plan recordkeeping or other services provided directly by the financial intermediary to shareholders or plans and plan participants, including retirement plans, 529 plans, Health Savings Account plans, or other plans, where participants beneficially own shares of the funds.

These payments are typically made pursuant to an agreement between the distributor and the financial intermediary, and are typically made in support of marketing and sales support efforts or program and shareholder servicing, as further described below. These payments are usually calculated based on a percentage of fund assets owned through the financial intermediary and/or as a percentage of fund sales attributable to the financial intermediary. Certain financial intermediaries require flat fees


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 148

instead of or in addition to these asset-based fees as compensation for including or maintaining funds on their platforms, and, in certain situations, may require the reimbursement of ticket or operational charges — fees that a financial intermediary charges its representatives for effecting transactions in the funds. The amount of payment varies by financial intermediary, and often is significant. In addition, the amount of payments may differ based upon the type of fund sold or maintained; for instance, the amount of payments for an equity fund may differ from payments for a money-market or fixed income fund. Asset-based payments generally will be made in a range of up to 0.25% of assets or 0.25% of sales or some combination thereof. Exceptions to these general ranges will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Flat fees or annual minimum fees required by a financial intermediary in addition to such asset-based fees, are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Marketing and Sales Support

Payments may be paid in support of retail, institutional, plan or other fee-based advisory program distribution efforts. These payments are typically made by the distributor in its efforts to advertise to and/or educate the financial intermediary’s personnel, including its registered representatives, about the fund. As a result of these payments, the distributor may obtain a higher profile and greater visibility for the fund within the financial intermediary’s organization, including placement of the fund on the financial intermediary’s preferred or recommended list. The distributor may also obtain greater access to sales meetings, sales representatives, and management representatives of the financial intermediary, including potentially having increased opportunity for fund representatives to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and their clients and other events sponsored by the financial intermediary.

Program and Shareholder Servicing

Payments may be made in support of recordkeeping, reporting, transaction processing, and other plan administration services provided by a financial intermediary to or through retirement plans, 529 plans, Health Savings Account plans, or other plans or fee-based advisory programs but may also be made in support of certain retail advisory programs, including wrap programs. A financial intermediary may perform program services itself or may arrange with a third party to perform program services. These payments may also include services rendered in connection with fund selection and monitoring, employee enrollment and education, plan balance rollover or separation, or other similar services.

Other Payments

The distributor and its affiliates may separately pay financial intermediaries in order to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives and other financial intermediary employees, client and investor events and other financial intermediary-sponsored events, and for travel expenses, including lodging incurred by registered representatives and other employees in connection with prospecting, asset retention and due diligence trips. The amount of these payments varies depending upon the nature of the event. The distributor and its affiliates make payments for such events as they deem appropriate, subject to internal guidelines and applicable law.

From time to time, to the extent permitted by SEC and NASD rules and by other applicable laws and regulations, the distributor and its affiliates may make other reimbursements or payment to financial intermediaries or their registered representatives, including non-cash compensation, in the form of gifts of nominal value, occasional meals, tickets, or other entertainment, support for due diligence trips, training and educational meetings or conference sponsorships, support for recognition programs, and other forms of non-cash compensation permissible under regulations to which these financial intermediaries and their representatives are subject. To the extent these are made as payments instead of reimbursement, they may provide profit to the financial intermediary to the extent the cost of such services was less than the actual expense of the service.

The financial intermediary through which you are purchasing or own shares of funds has been authorized directly or indirectly by the distributor to sell funds and/or to provide services to you as a shareholder of funds. Investors and current shareholders may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations they receive relating to fund shares.

If you have questions regarding the specific details regarding the payments your financial intermediary may receive from the distributor or its affiliates related to your purchase or ownership of funds, please contact your financial intermediary.

CUSTODIAN SERVICES

The funds’ securities and cash are held pursuant to a custodian agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan), 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10005. The custodian is permitted to deposit some or all of their securities in central depository systems as allowed by federal law. For its services, each fund pays its custodian a maintenance charge and a charge per transaction in addition to reimbursing the custodian’s out-of-pocket expenses.

As part of this arrangement, securities purchased outside the United States are maintained in the custody of various foreign branches of JPMorgan or in other financial institutions as permitted by law and by the fund’s custodian agreement.

BOARD SERVICES CORPORATION

The funds have an agreement with Board Services Corporation (Board Services) located at 901 Marquette Avenue South, Suite 2810, Minneapolis, MN 55402. This agreement sets forth the terms of Board Services’ responsibility to serve as an agent of the funds for purposes of administering the payment of compensation to each Independent Director, to provide office space for use by the funds and their boards, and to provide any other services to the boards or the independent members, as may be reasonably requested.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 150

Organizational Information

Each fund is an open-end management investment company. The funds’ headquarters are at 901 S. Marquette Ave., Suite 2810, Minneapolis, MN 55402-3268.

SHARES

The shares of a fund represent an interest in that fund’s net assets only (and profits or losses), and, in the event of liquidation, each share of a fund would have the same rights to dividends and assets as every other share of that fund.

VOTING RIGHTS

As a shareholder in a fund, you have voting rights over the fund’s management and fundamental policies. You are entitled to vote based on your total dollar interest in the fund. Each class, if applicable, has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters for which separate class voting is appropriate under applicable law. Shares of the Columbia, RiverSource and Threadneedle funds have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of Board members. This means that you have as many votes as the dollar amount you own, including the fractional amount, multiplied by the number of members to be elected, all of which may, in the shareholder’s discretion, be voted for a single director. The Seligman funds do not provide for cumulative voting rights.

DIVIDEND RIGHTS

Dividends paid by a fund, if any, with respect to each applicable class of shares will be calculated in the same manner, at the same time, on the same day, and will be in the same amount, except for differences resulting from differences in fee structures.

SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY

For funds organized as Massachusetts business trusts, under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its obligation. However, the Declaration of Trust that establishes a trust, a copy of which, together with all amendments thereto (the “Declaration of Trust”), is on file with the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for each applicable fund, contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust, or of any fund in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides that, if any shareholder (or former shareholder) of a fund in the Trust is charged or held to be personally liable for any obligation or liability of the Trust, or of any fund in the Trust, solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not because of such shareholder’s acts or omissions or for some other reason, the Trust (upon request of the shareholder) shall assume the defense against such charge and satisfy any judgment thereon, and the shareholder or former shareholder (or the heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives thereof, or in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) shall be entitled (but solely out of the assets of the fund of which such shareholder or former shareholder is or was the holder of shares) to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability.

The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Trust may maintain appropriate insurance (for example, fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Trust, its shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees and agents covering possible tort and other liabilities. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed and the Trust itself was unable to meet its obligations.

The Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations of the Trust are not binding upon the Trustees individually, but only upon the assets and property of the Trust, and that the Trustees will not be liable for any action or failure to act, errors of judgment, or mistakes of fact or law, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust or other agreement with a Trustee protects a Trustee against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of his or her willful bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. By becoming a shareholder of the fund, each shareholder shall be expressly held to have assented to and agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Declaration of Trust.

Board Members and Officers

Shareholders elect a Board that oversees a fund’s operations. The Board appoints officers who are responsible for day-to-day business decisions based on policies set by the Board. The following is a list of each fund’s Board members. Each Board member oversees 132 Columbia, RiverSource, Seligman and Threadneedle funds. Under current Board policy, members generally serve until the next Board meeting after he or she reaches the mandatory retirement age established by the Board, or the fifteenth anniversary of the first Board meeting they attended as members of the Board.

On Nov. 7, 2008, Columbia Management announced the closing of its acquisition of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Seligman Acquisition”). In connection with the Seligman Acquisition, Messrs. Leroy C. Richie and John F. Maher, who were members of the Seligman funds’ Board prior to Nov. 7, 2008, began service on the Board after the Seligman Acquisition, which resulted in an overall increase from ten directors to twelve for all funds.

Responsibilities of Board with respect to fund management

The Board is chaired by an Independent Director who has significant additional responsibilities compared to the other Board members, including, among other things: setting the agenda for Board meetings, communicating and meeting regularly with Board members between Board and committee meetings on fund-related matters with the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, counsel to the Independent Directors, and representatives of the funds’ service providers and overseeing Board Services. The Board initially approves an Investment Management Services Agreement and other contracts with the investment manager and its affiliates, and other service providers. Once the contracts are approved, the Board monitors the level and quality of services including commitments of service providers to achieve expected levels of investment performance and shareholder services. In addition, the Board oversees that processes are in place to assure compliance with applicable rules, regulations and investment policies and addresses possible conflicts of interest. Annually, the Board evaluates the services received under the contracts by receiving reports covering investment performance, shareholder services, marketing, and the investment manager’s profitability in order to determine whether to continue existing contracts or negotiate new contracts. The Board also oversees fund risks, primarily through the functions (described below) performed by the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee.

Committees of the Board

The Board has organized the following standing committees to facilitate its work: Board Governance Committee, Compliance Committee, Contracts Committee, Executive Committee, Investment Review Committee and Audit Committee. These Committees are comprised solely of Independent Directors (persons who are not “interested persons” of the fund as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The table above describing each Director also includes their respective committee memberships. The duties of these committees are described below.

Mr. Lewis, as Chair of the Board, acts as a point of contact between the Independent Directors and the investment manager between Board meetings in respect of general matters.

Board Governance Committee — Recommends to the Board the size, structure and composition of the Board and its committees; the compensation to be paid to members of the Board; and a process for evaluating the Board’s performance. The committee also reviews candidates for Board membership including candidates recommended by shareholders. The committee also makes recommendations to the Board regarding responsibilities and duties of the Board, oversees proxy voting and supports the work of the Board Chair in relation to furthering the interests of the Funds and their shareholders on external matters. The committee also reviews candidates for Board membership, including candidates recommended by shareholders.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 160

To be considered as a candidate for director, recommendations must include a curriculum vitae and be mailed to the Chair of the Board, 901 Marquette Avenue South, Suite 2810, Minneapolis, MN 55402-3268. To be timely for consideration by the committee, the submission, including all required information, must be submitted in writing not less than 120 days before the date of the proxy statement for the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders, if such a meeting is held. The committee will consider only one candidate submitted by such a shareholder or group for nomination for election at a meeting of shareholders. The committee will not consider self-nominated candidates or candidates nominated by members of a candidate’s family, including such candidate’s spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, nieces and nephews.

The committee will consider and evaluate candidates submitted by the nominating shareholder or group on the basis of the same criteria as those used to consider and evaluate candidates submitted from other sources. The committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering director candidates, including (but not limited to): (i) the candidate’s knowledge in matters relating to the investment company industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the candidate as a director or senior officer of other public or private companies; (iii) the candidate’s educational background; (iv) the candidate’s reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board’s existing mix of skills and qualifications; (vi) the candidate’s perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the candidate’s ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly, work collaboratively with other members of the Board and carry out his or her duties in the best interests of the fund; (vii) the candidate’s ability to qualify as an independent director; and (viii) such other criteria as the committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies or other factors.

Members of the committee (and/or the Board) also meet personally with each nominee to evaluate the candidate’s ability to work effectively with other members of the Board, while also exercising independent judgment. Although the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, the Board endeavors to comprise itself of members with a broad mix of professional and personal backgrounds. Thus, the committee and the Board accorded particular weight to the individual professional background of each Independent Director, as encapsulated in their bios included above in Table 26.

The Board believes that the funds are well-served by a Board, the membership of which consists of persons that represent a broad mix of professional and personal backgrounds. In considering nominations, the Committee takes the following matrix into account in assessing how a candidate’s professional background would fit into the mix of experiences represented by the then-current Board.

With respect to the directorship of Mr. Truscott, who is not an Independent Director, the committee and the Board have concluded that having a senior member of the investment manager serve on the Board can facilitate the Independent Directors’ increased access to information regarding the funds’ investment manager, which is the funds’ most significant service provider.

Compliance Committee — Supports the funds’ maintenance of a strong compliance program by providing a forum for Independent Directors to consider compliance matters impacting the Funds or their key service providers; developing and implementing, in coordination with the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), a process for the review and consideration of compliance reports that are provided to the Boards; and providing a designated forum for the funds’ CCO to meet with Independent Directors on a regular basis to discuss compliance matters.

Contracts Committee — Reviews and oversees the contractual relationships with service providers. Receives and analyzes reports covering the level and quality of services provided under contracts with the fund and advises the Board regarding actions taken on these contracts during the annual review process.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	Page 161

Distribution Committee — Reviews and supports product development, marketing, sales activity and practices related to the funds and will report to the Board as appropriate.

Executive Committee — Acts for the Board between meetings of the Board.

Investment Review Committee — Reviews and oversees the management of the funds’ assets. Considers investment management policies and strategies; investment performance; risk management techniques; and securities trading practices and reports areas of concern to the Board.

Audit Committee — Oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the funds and internal controls over financial reporting. Oversees the quality and integrity of the funds’ financial statements and independent audits as well as the funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the funds’ accounting and financial reporting, internal controls over financial reporting and independent audits. The committee also makes recommendations regarding the selection of the funds’ independent auditor and reviews and evaluates the qualifications, independence and performance of the auditor. The committee oversees the funds’ risks by, among other things, meeting with the funds’ internal auditors, establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns about accounting or audit matters, and overseeing the funds’ Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

This table shows the number of times the committees met during each fund’s most recent fiscal period. The table is organized by fiscal year end. You can find your fund’s fiscal year end in Table 1.

COMPENSATION OF BOARD MEMBERS

Total compensation. The following table shows the total compensation paid to independent Board members from all the funds in the last fiscal period.

Table 30. Board Member Compensation – All Funds


	Total Cash Compensation from
Board member^(a)	Funds Paid to Board member
Kathleen Blatz	$	201,227

Arne H. Carlson^(c)		203,437

Pamela G. Carlton		196,227

Patricia M. Flynn		210,475	^(b)

(a)		Board member compensation is paid by the funds and is comprised of a combination of a base fee and meeting fees, with the exception of the Chair of the Board, who receives a base annual compensation. Payment of compensation is administered by a company providing limited administrative services to the funds and to the Board. Compensation noted in the table does not include amounts paid by Ameriprise Financial to Board members for attendance at Board and committee meetings relating to Ameriprise Financial’s acquisition of the long-term asset management business of Columbia Management Group, LLC, including certain of its affiliates. The Chair of the Board did not receive any such compensation from Ameriprise Financial.


(b)		Ms. Flynn, Mr. Laikind, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Maher and Ms. Paglia elected to defer a portion of the total cash compensation payable during the period in the amount of $110,000, $130,625, $86,000, $210,000 and $11,458, respectively. Amount deferred by fund is set forth in Table 31. Additional information regarding the deferred compensation plan is described below.


(c)		Mr. Carlson ceased serving as a member of the Board effective Dec. 31, 2010.

(d)		Mr. Laikind ceased serving as a member of the Board effective Nov. 11, 2010.

The Independent Directors determine the amount of compensation that they receive, including the amount paid to the Chair of the Board. In determining compensation for the Independent Directors, the Independent Directors take into account a variety of factors including, among other things, their collective significant work experience (e.g., in business and finance, government or academia). The Independent Directors also recognize that these individuals’ advice and counsel are in demand by other organizations, that these individuals may reject other opportunities because the time demands of their duties as Independent Directors, and that they undertake significant legal responsibilities. The Independent Directors also consider the compensation paid to independent board members of other mutual fund complexes of comparable size. In determining the compensation paid to the Chair, the Independent Directors take into account, among other things, the Chair’s significant additional responsibilities (e.g., setting the agenda for Board meetings, communicating or meeting regularly with the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, Counsel to the Independent Directors, and the Funds’ service providers) which result in a significantly greater time commitment required of the Board Chair. The Chair’s compensation, therefore, has generally been set at a level between 2.5 and 3 times the level of compensation paid to other independent Board members.

Effective Jan. 1, 2010, independent Board members will be paid an annual retainer of $125,000. Committee and sub- committee Chairs each receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000. In addition, Independent Board Directors are paid the following fees for attending Board and committee meetings: $5,000 per day of in-person Board meetings and $2,500 per day of in-person committee or sub-committee meetings (if such meetings are not held on the same day as a Board meeting). Independent Directors are not paid for special meetings conducted by telephone. In 2011, the Board’s Chair will receive total annual cash compensation of $430,000.

The Independent Directors may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of the compensation they receive in accordance with a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan). Under the Deferred Plan, a Board member may elect to have his or her deferred compensation treated as if they had been invested in shares of one or more RiverSource, Seligman or Threadneedle funds in the Fund Family and the amount paid to the Board member under the Deferred Plan will be determined based on the performance of such investments. Distributions may be taken in a lump sum or over a period of years. The Deferred Plan will remain unfunded for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is anticipated that deferral of Board member compensation in accordance with the Deferred Plan will have, at most, a negligible impact on fund assets and liabilities.

(a)		Combination of all share classes of Columbia Management initial capital and affiliated funds-of-funds’ investments.

A fund may serve as an underlying investment of funds-of-funds that principally invest in shares of affiliated funds in the Fund Family (the underlying funds). The underlying funds and the funds-of-funds share the same officers, Board members, and investment manager. The funds-of-funds do not invest in an underlying fund for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, from time to time, investments by the funds-of-funds in a fund may represent a significant portion of a fund. Because the funds-of-funds may own a substantial portion of the shares of a fund, procedures have been put into place to assure that public shareholders will determine the outcome of all actions taken at underlying fund shareholder meetings. In proxy voting, the funds-of-funds will vote on each proposal in the same proportion that other shareholders vote on the proposal.

In addition, Columbia Management or an affiliate may own shares of a fund as a result of an initial capital investment at the inception of the fund or class. To the extent Columbia Management, as manager of the funds-of-funds, may be deemed a beneficial owner of the shares of an underlying fund held by the funds-of-funds, and such shares, together with any initial capital investment by Columbia Management or an affiliate, represent more than 25% of a fund, Columbia Management and its affiliated companies may be deemed to control the fund.

Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings

In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company (now known as legacy RiverSource) mutual funds and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the 1940 Act. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “District Court”). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Eighth Circuit”) on Aug. 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court”), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On December 9, 2010, the District Court reinstated its July 9, 2007 summary judgment order in favor of the defendants. On January 10, 2011, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit.

In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)), entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees.

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Appendix A

DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS

Standard & Poor’s Long-Term Debt Ratings.

A Standard & Poor’s corporate or municipal debt rating is a current assessment of the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific obligation. This assessment may take into consideration obligors such as guarantors, insurers, or lessees.

The debt rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a security, inasmuch as it does not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor.

The ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer or obtained by S&P from other sources it considers reliable. S&P does not perform an audit in connection with any rating and may, on occasion, rely on unaudited financial information. The ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of such information or based on other circumstances.

The ratings are based, in varying degrees, on the following considerations:


	•	Likelihood of default capacity and willingness of the obligor as to the timely payment of interest and repayment of principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.

	•	Nature of and provisions of the obligation.

	•	Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.

Investment Grade

Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in a small degree.

Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.

Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated categories.

Speculative Grade

Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C is regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal. BB indicates the least degree of speculation and C the highest. While such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. The BB rating category also is used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BBB- rating.

Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The B rating category also is used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied BB or BB- rating.

Debt rated CCC has a currently identifiable vulnerability to default and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is not likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The CCC rating category also is used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B or B- rating.

Debt rated CC typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC rating.

Debt rated C typically is applied to debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied CCC rating. The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed, but debt service payments are continued.

The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being paid.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	A-1

Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition if debt service payments are jeopardized.

Moody’s Long-Term Debt Ratings

Aaa – Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa – Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present that make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A – Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.

Baa – Bonds that are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations (i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba – Bonds that are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements – their future cannot be considered as well- assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate, and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B – Bonds that are rated B generally lack characteristics of a desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa – Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca – Bonds that are rated Ca represent obligations that are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C – Bonds that are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

Fitch’s Long-Term Debt Ratings

Fitch’s bond ratings provide a guide to investors in determining the credit risk associated with a particular security. The ratings represent Fitch’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to meet the obligations of a specific debt issue in a timely manner.

The rating takes into consideration special features of the issue, its relationship to other obligations of the issuer, the current and prospective financial condition and operating performance of the issuer and any guarantor, as well as the economic and political environment that might affect the issuer’s future financial strength and credit quality.

Fitch ratings do not reflect any credit enhancement that may be provided by insurance policies or financial guaranties unless otherwise indicated.

Fitch ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature of taxability of payments made in respect of any security.

Fitch ratings are based on information obtained from issuers, other obligors, underwriters, their experts, and other sources Fitch believes to be reliable. Fitch does not audit or verify the truth or accuracy of such information. Ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or the unavailability of, information or for other reasons.

Investment Grade

AAA: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	A-2

AA: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB: Bonds considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds and, therefore, impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

Speculative Grade

BB: Bonds are considered speculative. The obligor’s ability to pay interest and repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic changes. However, business and financial alternatives can be identified, which could assist the obligor in satisfying its debt service requirements.

B: Bonds are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class are currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of continued timely payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor’s limited margin of safety and the need for reasonable business and economic activity throughout the life of the issue.

CCC: Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics that, if not remedied, may lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an advantageous business and economic environment.

CC: Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or principal seems probable over time.

C: Bonds are in imminent default in payment of interest or principal.

DDD, DD, and D: Bonds are in default on interest and/or principal payments. Such bonds are extremely speculative and should be valued on the basis of their ultimate recovery value in liquidation or reorganization of the obligor. DDD represents the highest potential for recovery on these bonds, and D represents the lowest potential for recovery.

SHORT-TERM RATINGS

Standard & Poor’s Commercial Paper Ratings

A Standard & Poor’s commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt considered short-term in the relevant market.

Ratings are graded into several categories, ranging from A-1 for the highest quality obligations to D for the lowest. These categories are as follows:


A-1	This highest category indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.

A-2	Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1.

A-3	Issues carrying this designation have adequate capacity for timely payment. They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.

B	Issues are regarded as having only speculative capacity for timely payment.

C	This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with doubtful capacity for payment.

D	Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.

Standard & Poor’s Muni Bond and Note Ratings

An S&P municipal bond or note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market-access risks unique to these instruments. Notes maturing in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating.


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	A-3

Note rating symbols and definitions are as follows:


SP-1	Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Issues determined to possess very strong characteristics are given a plus (+) designation.

SP-2	Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

SP-3	Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Municipal bond rating symbols and definitions are as follows:

Standard & Poor’s rating SP-1 indicates very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus (+) designation.

Standard & Poor’s rating SP-2 indicates satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.

Standard & Poor’s rating SP-3 indicates speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Moody’s Short-Term Ratings

Moody’s short-term debt ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to repay punctually senior debt obligations. These obligations have an original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Moody’s employs the following three designations, all judged to be investment grade, to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics: (i) leading market positions in well-established industries, (ii) high rates of return on funds employed, (iii) conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection, (iv) broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation, and (v) well established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above, but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Issuers rated Prime-3 (or supporting institutions) have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

Issuers rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

Moody’s Short-Term Muni Bonds and Notes

Short-term municipal bonds and notes are rated by Moody’s. The ratings reflect the liquidity concerns and market access risks unique to notes.

Moody’s MIG 1/VMIG 1 indicates the best quality. There is present strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

Moody’s MIG 2/VMIG 2 indicates high quality. Margins of protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

Moody’s MIG 3/VMIG 3 indicates favorable quality. All security elements are accounted for but there is lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Liquidity and cash flow protection may be narrow and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well established.

Moody’s MIG 4/VMIG 4 indicates adequate quality. Protection commonly regarded as required of an investment security is present and although not distinctly or predominantly speculative, there is specific risk.

Fitch’s Short-Term Ratings

Fitch’s short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable on demand or have original maturities of generally up to three years, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment notes. The


Statement of Additional Information – April 11, 2011	A-4

short-term rating places greater emphasis than a long-term rating on the existence of liquidity necessary to meet the issuer’s obligations in a timely manner.

Fitch short-term ratings are as follows:

F-1+: Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-1: Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.

F-2: Good Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating have a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as for issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings.

F-3: Fair Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating have characteristics suggesting that the degree of assurance for timely payment is adequate, however, near-term adverse changes could cause these securities to be rated below investment grade.

F-S: Weak Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating have characteristics suggesting a minimal degree of assurance for timely payment and are vulnerable to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

D: Default. Issues assigned this rating are in actual or imminent payment default.

Appendix B

STATE TAX-EXEMPT FUNDS

STATE RISK FACTORS

The State Tax-Exempt Funds invest primarily in the municipal securities issued by a single state and political sub-divisions that state. Each Fund will be particularly affected by political and economic conditions and developments in the state in which it invests. This vulnerability to factors affecting the state’s tax- exempt investments will be significantly greater than that of more geographically diversified funds, which may result in greater losses and volatility. Because of the relatively small number of issuers of tax-exempt securities, the Fund may invest a higher percentage of assets in a single issuer and, therefore, be more exposed to the risk of loss by investing in a few issuers than a fund that invests more broadly. At times, the Fund and other accounts managed by the investment manager may own all or most of the debt of a particular issuer. This concentration of ownership may make it more difficult to sell, or to determine the fair value of, these investments. In addition, a Fund may concentrate in a segment of the tax-exempt debt market, such as revenue bonds for health care facilities, housing or airports. These investments may cause the value of a fund’s shares to change more than the values of funds’ shares that invest in more diversified investments. The yields on the securities in which the Fund invests generally are dependent on a variety of factors, including the financial condition of the issuer or other obligor, the revenue source from which the debt service is payable, general economic and monetary conditions, conditions in the relevant market, the size of a particular issue, the maturity of the obligation, and the rating of the issue. In addition to such factors, geographically concentrated securities will experience particular sensitivity to local conditions, including political and economic changes, adverse conditions to an industry significant to the area, and other developments within a particular locality. Because many tax-exempt bonds may be revenue or general obligations of local governments or authorities, ratings on tax-exempt bonds may be different from the ratings given to the general obligation bonds of a particular state.

Certain events may adversely affect all investments within a particular market segment of the market. Examples include litigation, legislation or court decisions, concerns about pending or contemplated litigation, legislation or court decisions, or lower demand for the services or products provided by a particular market segment. Investing mostly in state-specific tax-exempt investments makes the Fund more vulnerable to that state’s economy and to factors affecting tax-exempt issuers in that state than would be true for more geographically diversified funds. These risks include, among others:


	•	the inability or perceived inability of a government authority to collect sufficient tax or other revenues to meet its payment obligations;

	•	natural disasters and ecological or environmental concerns;

	•	the introduction of constitutional or statutory limits on a tax-exempt issuer’s ability to raise revenues or increase taxes;

	•	the inability of an issuer to pay interest on or repay principal or securities in which the funds invest during recessionary periods; and

	•	economic or demographic factors that may cause a decrease in tax or other revenues for a government authority or for private operators of publicly financed facilities.

More information about state specific risks may be available from official state resources.

(b)		Purchase price includes the sales charge.


(c)		Although there is no sales charge for purchases with a total market value of $1 million or more, and therefore no re-allowance, the distributor may pay a selling and/or servicing agent the following out of its own resources: 1.00% on purchases from $1 million up to but not including $3 million; 0.50% on purchases of $3 million up to but not including $50 million; and 0.25% on amounts of $50 million or more. The distributor may be reimbursed if a CDSC is deducted when the shares are redeemed.


(d)		For eligible employee benefit plans, selling and/or servicing agents are eligible to receive from the distributor the following sales commissions on purchases that are coded as commission eligible trades: 1.00% on all purchases up to but not including $3 million, including those in amounts of less than $1 million; up to 0.50% on all purchases of $3 million up to but not including $50 million; and up to 0.25% on all purchases of $50 million or more.
