President’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

I am pleased to present the annual report and investment-performance review of the Eagle Family of Funds for the fiscal year that ended October 31, 2013 (the “reporting period”).

The equity market has mostly gone up—“climbing the wall of worry” is how many of the funds’ Portfolio Managers have described it—over the last year. And it did so in the face of New Year sequestration and tax-law changes, ongoing strife in the Middle East, continued economic malaise in the Eurozone, slowing growth in China and U.S. political theater (e.g., a partial government shutdown and debates over the nation’s debt ceiling). Perhaps the market knew what many of our portfolio managers identified: the U.S. economy is growing, albeit slowly, and the fundamentals of many companies are as strong as they’ve ever been.

On the fixed-income side, the U.S. Federal Reserve kept its overnight interest rate near 0% but not without some drama this summer when there were hints that the Fed was thinking about starting to taper its third round of quantitative easing (often called QE3). The specter of rising interest rates was enough to roil bond markets, which recovered somewhat after Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed was standing pat. The market also reacted favorably to the nomination of Janet Yellen to take the reins when Bernanke steps down early next year.

Our managers at Eagle are aware of headlines but one of the hallmarks of Eagle over its more than 35 years has been the research our managers do in constructing portfolios. They strive to avoid getting caught up in today’s headlines and instead focus on finding individual companies they believe will help their funds meet their investment objectives.

I hope you will read the commentaries that follow in which our Portfolio Managers discuss their specific funds.

Here are just a few highlights from this year:

•

The Eagle Growth & Income Fund finished the period with a five- and 10-year four-star rating^1,2 from Morningstar^®.

•

A new Eagle-affiliated investment team assumed management of the Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund after the market closed on June 28. The new managers are David Pavan, CFA^®; Frank Feng, Ph.D.; Ed Wagner, CFA^®; and Stacey Nutt, Ph.D., of ClariVest Asset Management LLC.

•

Eagle opened two new funds, under the management of well-seasoned teams, this year:

^¡

The Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund is run by Co-Portfolio Managers Charles Schwartz, CFA^®; Betsy Pecor, CFA^®; and Matthew McGeary, CFA^®, as well as Research Analyst Matthew Spitznagle, CFA^®. They also manage the Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund.

^¡

The Eagle International Stock Fund is run by a team of investment professionals at Eagle affiliate ClariVest Asset Management LLC. The team consists of David Vaughn, CFA^®, Co-Portfolio Manager; Stacey Nutt, Ph.D., Co-Portfolio Manager; and Alex Turner, CFA^®, Assistant Portfolio Manager.

•

High-profile media outlets continue to seek Eagle managers for input on current events and investing themes. James Camp, CFA^®, who heads the Investment Grade Bond Fund, has been on CNBC many times. The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s have quoted Charles Schwartz, CFA^®, and Matthew McGeary, CFA^®, who are among the managers of the Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund and the Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund.

I would like to remind you that investing in any mutual fund carries certain risks. The principal risk factors for each fund are described at the end of this report. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before you invest. Contact us at 800.421.4184 or eagleasset.com or your financial advisor for a prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Eagle Family of Funds. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

We are grateful for your continued support of and confidence in the Eagle Family of Funds.

Sincerely,

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund

Portfolio Managers | David J. Pavan, CFA^®, C. Frank Feng, Ph.D., Ed Wagner, CFA^®, and Stacey R. Nutt, Ph.D., of ClariVest Asset Management LLC (“ClariVest”), are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) and assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio on June 28, 2013.

Performance discussion | The following commentary covers the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. For the period November 1, 2012 through June 28, 2013, the Fund was subadvised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. ClariVest assumed responsibility of the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio as of the close of business on June 28, 2013, and subadvised the Fund through the fiscal year end. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 28.41% (excluding front-end sales charges of 4.75%) outperforming its benchmark index, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index, which returned 28.30%. The Fund posted positive absolute performance in all sectors for the period. Outperformance, relative to the benchmark, was led by the information technology, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and energy sectors. In information technology, despite being hurt by an overweight position, strong security selection helped the Fund’s relative performance. In both the consumer sectors, outperformance was led by solid security selection. In energy, an overweight position coupled with solid security selection helped bolster returns. The Fund primarily lagged the benchmark in the health care, materials and industrials sectors. In health care, the Fund was hurt by an underweight positioning and weak stock selection. In materials, the Fund was negatively impacted by stock selection. An underweight position within industrials was a drag on performance, while solid security selection within the sector was positive, helping temper relative returns. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Top performers | Google, Inc. (Class A) focuses on improving the ways people connect with information by providing a variety of services and tools for advertisers of all sizes, from simple text ads to display and mobile advertising and to publishers. Overall ad impression and click volume continued to increase during the period driving the stock higher. NIKE, Inc. (Class B) designs, develops, markets and sells high quality footwear, apparel, and equipment, accessories and services. The company had better-than-expected gross margins through the year which drove the stock’s earnings higher. Order demand has been strong as the company executes on the global consumer’s growing demand for innovation and performance in athletic footwear and apparel. One strong area of growth was emerging markets where Nike saw a 16% revenue increase in fiscal 2013. Schlumberger Ltd. operates as an oilfield services company, which supplies technology, project management and information solutions for the oil and gas industry. Shares have rallied on strong North American deep-water oil services demand and a renewed share buyback. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. operates fast-casual Mexican-food restaurants across the United States. Same store sales grew 5.8% in the third quarter of 2013, faster than the 4.6% consensus. Long-term opportunities appear strong as the company is looking to expand into the breakfast area. American Express Co. is a global payments and travel company. The company was a positive contributor in the Fund as the company appears to have benefited from strong tailwinds towards plastic money instead of cash and the explosion in online shopping. Card member spending remained strong in the United States despite events in Washington that could have led to fiscal drag. Credit quality has been high with the company reporting historically low net write-offs worldwide. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Underperformers | St. Jude Medical, Inc., a developer of medical technology and services, was a negative contributor to the Fund as the stock was volatile given uncertainty around the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval for the company’s next generation implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The Fund no longer holds this security. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Sponsored ADR develops, manufactures, markets and distributes pharmaceutical products worldwide. The company reported disappointing earnings and cash flows, and has been hampered due to a $1.6 billion settlement with Pfizer Inc. related to patent-infringement damages. The Fund no longer holds the security. Devon Energy Corp. is an independent energy company engaged primarily in exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. The company’s stock price fluctuated with volatile energy prices, and both the company and the industry proved to be difficult to time correctly during the period. The Fund no longer holds this security. Rackspace Hosting, Inc., a leading provider of managed hosting and cloud computing services, detracted from performance during the period. The slowdown in sales growth highlights the challenges the company has been experiencing gaining traction with its new cloud offering and, more specifically, transitioning large enterprise customers to the new offering. The company also indicated that it would have to spend more to acquire new customers. The Fund no longer holds the security. Apple, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computing products, and portable digital music players. Shares of the stock were hurt during the early part of 2013 as earnings estimates came down from the $60 range to the $40s due to a maturing smartphone market. In the third quarter, shares rose sharply due in part to strong iPhone sales and news of investor Carl Icahn taking a stake in the company’s shares. The Fund continues to hold this security.

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle Growth & Income Fund

Portfolio Managers | Edmund Cowart, CFA^®, David Blount, CFA^®, CPA, John Pandtle, CFA^®, and Jeff Vancavage, CFA^®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”). Messrs. Cowart, Blount, and Pandtle have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since June 2011 and Mr. Vancavage since July 2013.

Performance discussion | For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 25.14% (excluding front-end sales charges of 4.75%) underperforming its benchmark index, the S&P 500^® Index, which returned 27.18%. Though the Portfolio Management team (“PM team”) was not satisfied with trailing the benchmark, the PM team was pleased with absolute performance during the period, as well as the Fund’s ability to mostly keep pace with the benchmark despite heavy yield-based headwinds. Stocks with no dividends appreciated nearly twice as much as stocks with dividend yields higher than the weighted average yield of the benchmark at the start of the period. Relative to the benchmark, performance was particularly strong within the technology, industrials and materials sectors. Stock selection was strong in all three sectors; however, the Fund also benefited from a relative underweight position within the technology sector, as well as an overweight within industrials. The Fund’s weakest performing sectors on a relative basis were financials and consumer discretionary. The Fund’s allocation within these two sectors was not a significant factor; however, the stock selection within these sectors detracted from relative performance. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Underperformers | American Campus Communities, Inc., is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which manages on-campus and off-campus housing facilities for students at various universities in the United States. With interest rates expected to rise, REITs in general have been punished by the market. The company took on an acquisition whose integration proved to be more complicated than anticipated. As a result, the company was unable to execute efficiently during an important leasing window, necessitating increased marketing expenditures which caused the company to miss earnings. The Fund continues to own the stock as the PM team sees tremendous cash flow potential and believes the marketing expenses were temporary in nature. Digital Realty Trust, Inc., also a REIT that has felt the impact of expected interest rate increases, is a company that operates data centers in the United States. The Fund sold the stock in an effort to reduce its exposure to the industry, but also because the PM team believed pricing was soft and the uneven economic recovery has led to companies deferring leasing decisions. CenturyLink, Inc., an integrated telecommunications company, surprised investors with the announcement of a major shift in the company’s capital allocation plan, which included a dividend cut. The Fund continues to hold the stock; however, the PM team is actively monitoring the situation. Abbott Laboratories, a global leading health care company, split into two companies, a medical device company and a pharmaceuticals company. The Fund sold the stock during the period as the PM team believed the medical device company was too richly valued and the pharmaceuticals company to be too risky. International oil and gas company, Exxon Mobil Corp, was sold during the period, as the company’s management had positioned it for a scenario which did not come to pass: low oil prices, a natural gas shortage and petrochemicals produced in Asia. The PM team saw better investment opportunities available in the space.

Top performers | Applied Materials, Inc. is a dominant player in its core business providing semiconductor fabrication tools to chipmakers. The company competes in nearly every segment of the market whereas peers mostly specialize in one segment or another. The stock had already been rewarded strongly for its strong fundamentals, when it announced a merger with Tokyo Electron. The merger is expected to widen the company’s base of expertise, while carrying the potential for cost synergies as well as a lower tax rate as the company incorporates in the Netherlands. Medical device company, St. Jude Medical, Inc., has enjoyed solid execution with earnings above expectations due to margin expansion and strong revenue streams from its product lines. The industrials sector also performed strongly throughout the year. In this regard, 3M Company, a diversified technology company serving customers and communities with innovative products and services, outperformed its peers due to solid execution despite some foreign exchange and demand-based headwinds. In addition, revenues were on target in a recent earnings release despite the market expecting a miss. JPMorgan Chase & Co., a financial holding company that provides financial and investment banking services, is diverse and well-managed with a superior capital position, excess reserves and strong earnings momentum. It has been gaining market share across retail, commercial, investment banking, and capital markets businesses and it remains one of the least expensive large capitalization United States banks on a price to earnings basis. Regal Entertainment Group, the largest and most geographically diverse theatre circuit in the United States with 6,854 screens in 537 theatres in 37 states, appears to have benefited from digital technology allowing for 3-D and alternative content to incrementally increase revenues. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle International Stock Fund

Portfolio Managers | David V. Vaughn, CFA^®, and Stacey R. Nutt, Ph.D., are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle International Stock Fund (the “Fund”). Mr. Vaughn has been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since its inception and Dr. Nutt since June 2013. Alex Turner, CFA^®, has served as Assistant Portfolio Manager of the Fund since its inception.

Performance discussion | From its inception on February 28, 2013 through October 31, 2013, the fiscal year end, the Fund’s Class A shares had a cumulative return of 15.33% (excluding front-end sales charges of 4.75%) outperforming its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE^® Index, which returned 15.13% for the same time period. Sector selection was positive, where an overweight to telecommunication services and an underweight in materials helped performance. Conversely, an overweight in industrials and an underweight in utilities detracted from performance. Country selection was flat, where an underweight to Spain hurt performance and an underweight to Australia helped performance. Value measures were strong across the globe, while momentum struggled in Asia. Growth worked modestly well. Overall factor performance was positive during the period. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Top performers | Japanese company Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. is the owner of Subaru automobile manufacturing as well as aerospace, industrial products and eco-technology, trains, and housing. The majority of the company’s sales are generated overseas, but most of its production is in Japan. The company has been improving in car manufacturing surveys and has been gaining market share in the United States. At the same time, there initially was skepticism around the company as it is one of the smallest Japanese car manufacturers. Additionally, the company appears to have benefitted from the weak yen and analysts have repeatedly raised numbers to keep up with fundamentals. British company Vodafone Group PLC, a worldwide provider of mobile telecommunications, helped performance as the company sold off its stake in Verizon Wireless and pledged to return 65% of the proceeds to its shareholders. KDDI Corporation, a Japanese mobile communication company and the second-largest wireless carrier in Japan, boosted performance as the company delivered strong earnings and outlook during the period. Sumitomo Corporation, a leading integrated Japanese trading company engaged in diverse businesses based on its global network, appears to have benefited from a weaker yen and increased global demand for metals and commodities. German company, Allianz SE, an international financial services provider, was able to increase profits in part due to focusing on higher margin asset management products and its non-life insurance division benefited from pricing improvements in Germany. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Underperformers | Kanematsu Corp., a Japan-based trading company that provides electronic components and materials, semiconductors, liquid crystal and solar cell manufacturing equipment, and communication technology systems, was a drag on performance. Specifically, a lack of transparency into Kanematsu’s earnings was worrisome and, in general, the distribution/wholesale industry experienced downward revisions. Shares of Austrian semiconductor manufacturer ams AG fell after the company announced that operating profits would fall as clients delayed orders. Costs were also higher than expected as the company transitioned to a new CEO and experienced write-downs on equity investments. Two Australian companies with significant exposure to commodities hurt performance during the period. The first, Silver Lake Resources Ltd., a large gold producing and exploration company with multiple mines and multiple mills operating in the Eastern Goldfields and Murchison districts of Western Australia, hurt performance as gold prices fell sharply during the second quarter. The second, Downer EDI Ltd., an engineering and infrastructure management service firm, also fell as many of its materials sector clients cut back spending due to falling commodity prices. Similarly, another Australian-based firm, Skilled Group Ltd., the largest provider of workforce solutions, detracted from performance as shares fell during the second quarter due in part to its exposure to the mining sector, which experienced reduced working hours. The Fund no longer holds any of the securities noted above as “underperformers.”

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund

Portfolio Managers | James C. Camp, CFA^®, and Joseph Jackson, CFA^®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (the “Fund”) and have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since its inception.

Performance discussion | For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned (1.00)% (excluding front-end sales charges of 3.75%) underperforming its benchmark index, the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned (0.03)%. The rumored ‘tapering’ of Fed bond purchases was by far the largest determinant of market returns in fixed income during the period. The notion of tapering purchases drove a significant steepening of the yield curve causing underperformance in ten-year bonds and low-coupon mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). The main factor in relative performance for the Fund during the period was the underperformance of the MBS holdings. The Fund’s positions in low-coupon collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) as interest rates spiked during May and June drove underperformance. The Fund earned positive relative returns in the Treasury, government-related and corporate sectors due largely to its underweight in the seven- and ten- year duration buckets within these sectors. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Underperformers | Federal agency MBS, including Freddie Mac, REMICs, Series 4105, Class KB, 2.25%, 08/15/41, and Fannie Mae, REMICs, Series 2012-96, Class PD, 2.00%, 07/25/41, were low-coupon CMOs which underperformed as interest rates moved above their coupon rates. Compounding the problem, the negative convexity inherent with these types of securities caused the duration of the bonds to extend as rates increased. Corporate bond, Newmont Mining Corp., 5.13%, 10/01/19, one of the world’s largest gold producers with significant assets or operations on five continents, generated negative absolute returns and underperformance relative to the industrial sector as the price of gold fell in May and June of this year. U.S. Treasury Note, 1.13%, 04/30/20, along with other seven- and ten-year U.S. Treasuries, fell as rumors that the Federal Reserve may taper, or reduce, the size of the bond-buying program surfaced in May. The Fund’s holding of corporate bond, U.S. Bancorp, 2.95%, 07/15/22, a regional financial services holding company operating in the Midwest and Western U.S. underperformed largely due to its curve positioning. The Portfolio Management team does not believe the security’s underperformance was related to a fundamental credit issue; it was simply that the bond was longer in duration compared to the average bond in the benchmark. The Fund no longer holds any of the securities noted above as “underperformers.”

Top performers | Baidu Inc., 3.25% 08/06/18, an Internet search engine operator serving the Chinese market, was a leading performer during the period thanks to attractive pricing in the primary market. The Fund continues to own this security. Corporate bond Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., 3.95%, 09/01/20 is a leading global provider of investor communications and technology-driven solutions to banks, broker-dealers, mutual funds and corporate issuers. The security generated high returns, which the Portfolio Managers believe was due to curve positioning. The Fund purchased Broadridge as the long end began to recover from the early-summer selloff. The Fund continues to own this security. Asset-backed security, Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust, Series 2012-C, Class D, 2.43% 01/15/19, the financial services arm of the Ford Motor Company, performed in-line with similar maturity asset-backed securities, earning positive absolute returns when compared to the benchmark and other structured product sectors. The Fund continues to own this security. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., 6.25%, 09/01/17, a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm, was a top performer in a period when the financials sector outperformed the industrials and utilities sectors within the benchmark. The Fund’s specific holding, a four-year issue, also generated positive relative returns while the long-end of the curve sold off. The Fund no longer holds this security. Although for Treasury holding, U.S. Treasury Note, 2.50%, 08/15/23, the long end underperformed the short end for the entire duration of the period, the timing of the purchase of this security in the Fund (near the highs in ten year interest rates) generated high relative returns. The Fund continues to own this security.

Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio Managers | Bert L. Boksen, CFA^®, and Eric Mintz, CFA^®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”). Mr. Boksen has been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since its inception. Mr. Mintz has been co-managing the portfolio since 2011, and previously had served as Assistant Portfolio Manager beginning in 2008. Christopher Sassouni, D.M.D., has served as Assistant Portfolio Manager of the Fund since 2006.

Performance discussion | For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 34.81% (excluding front-end sales charges of 4.75%) outperforming its benchmark index, the Russell MidCap^® Growth Index, which returned 33.93%. The Fund generated positive returns in all sectors, especially benefitting from strong absolute and relative performance within the industrials and financials sectors, while being slightly overweight. In contrast, underperformance within the consumer staples and energy sectors somewhat tempered the Fund’s performance as both sectors failed to keep up with the benchmark. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Top performers | Ameriprise Financial Inc. offers asset-management and insurance products through a substantial financial-advisor network. In addition to being aided by general strength in equity

markets, the company continued to reallocate a portion of its revenue stream away from the capital-intensive annuity business toward asset-management offerings, reflecting what the Portfolio Management team (“PM team”) believed to be a more balanced and attractive return profile as a result. Harman International Industries, Inc., a leader in the car-audio and infotainment-systems industry, continued its strong run as the firm announced record backlogs and raised earnings guidance projections for its approaching budget year. The PM team believes that TD Ameritrade Holding Corp, a banking and securities-brokerage firm, benefited from continued strength in the equity markets which has encouraged an increased amount of trading activity in recent periods, as investors look to put previously sidelined cash to work. Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. develops and fabricates a comprehensive range of structures and components used primarily by the energy and petrochemical industries. The petrochemical industry is experiencing a dramatic shift in the global competitive landscape as low-cost feedstock-advantaged plants based in North America are experiencing record margins and driving a significant wave of new investment. The Portfolio Managers believe that the company is well-aligned with this development and has substantially benefitted as a result. Delta Air Lines, Inc., a domestic and international passenger and cargo air transportation company, was up sharply during the period as the firm benefitted from strong leisure and business travel demand as well as better-than-expected execution on strategic cost-cutting initiatives. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Underperformers | Fusion-io, Inc., a producer of commercial data storage using “flash” memory, continued to have customer-concentration issues, which plagued the firm in recent periods, exacerbated by multiple management departures earlier in the year. Despite a solid product offering, Fusion-io appears to have lost its strategic footing for the time being and the stock has suffered as a result. Shares of Edwards Lifesciences Corp., a company which develops and manufactures medical devices used in the treatment of structural heart disease, were down as the firm missed estimates and reduced guidance earlier in the period. The PM team believes that this reduction was primarily a result of lighter-than-expected transcatheter aortic valve replacement revenues despite strong year-over-year as well as sequential growth. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a company that focuses on therapies used to treat drug-resistant, difficult-to-treat cancers. The PM team believes that investors were caught off-guard by an unexpected Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) halt placed on ARIAD’s late-stage clinical trial, which was analyzing the firm’s leukemia drug candidate Iclusig. Axiall Corp., a manufacturer of a variety of specialty chemicals and building products, had substantial capacity expansion in recent periods which, the PM team believes, has inadvertently resulted in an oversupply of a key chemical used in the production of plastics, adhesives and coatings used by the construction industry. The company’s margins failed to meet expectations as a result of the supply glut and have clouded the firm’s near-term growth trajectory. Cobalt International Energy, Inc. is a global oil & gas exploration and production company primarily active in deep water Gulf of Mexico and offshore Angola and Gabon in West Africa. Despite optimistic expectations, the company encountered disappointing well results at two of its drill sites, which, the PM team believes, materially weighed on investor sentiment and, subsequently, the stock price during the period. The Fund no longer holds any of the securities noted above as “underperformers.”

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund

Portfolio Managers | Charles Schwartz, CFA^®, Betsy Pecor, CFA^®, and Matthew McGeary, CFA^®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund (the “Fund”) and have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since October 2012.

Performance discussion | For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 30.90% (excluding front-end sales charges of 4.75%), underperforming both benchmark indices, the S&P MidCap 400^® Index and, secondarily, the Russell Midcap^® Index, which returned 33.48% and 33.79%, respectively.

Underperformers | Energy XXI Bermuda Ltd., an exploration and production company, stumbled early in the year when oil production suffered due to infrastructure issues with a few of its assets. The Fund

continues to hold the stock as the Portfolio Management team (“PM team”) believes that the company is well positioned heading into 2014. Riverbed Technology, Inc. is a company offering solutions for enhancing network performance. While the company continues to show good top line growth, its income guidance has fallen short of expectations. The PM team believes the company’s products still have growth potential and investor concerns are reflected in the current share price; as such, the Fund continues to hold the stock. Ascena Retail Group, Inc. is a leading specialty retailer offering clothing, shoes, and accessories for women and tweens under multiple brand names. The PM team believes that the company underperformed given the challenging retail environment. The Fund no longer holds this stock. SolarWinds, Inc. is a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software. While the company continues to grow, the PM team believes that some investors have been disappointed with the moderation in the growth rate, as well as dilution effects from the recent N-able acquisition. The PM team believes there is still good growth potential for the company and that its management may be able to reverse the recent sales force execution issues and get the company’s license sales back on track. The Fund continues to hold this stock. Nuance Communications Inc. is a leading provider of voice recognition and other language solutions for both the consumer and corporate marketplaces. The company’s results and outlook have been challenged and are primarily below expectations this year. The PM team feels the long term outlook for the company is solid. The Fund continues to hold this stock.

Top performers | Flower Foods, Inc., the second largest producer and marketer of fresh packaged bakery foods in the United States, performed well driven by the liquidation of Hostess Brands, which the PM team believes allowed the company’s snack brands to enjoy nice market share gains and profits in the absence of Hostess products on store shelves. The company also acquired 20 of Hostess’ 38 bread facilities giving it plenty of opportunity to grow both its own bread business as well as that of Hostess’ flagship Wonder bread line in the long term. Hanesbrands Inc., a consumer goods company, performed well this year driven by lower cotton costs, increased product innovation, and by leveraging its new global supply chain to lower costs. The company recently acquired Maidenform Brands, Inc. and the PM team believes that its strong free cash flow generation may result in dividends, share buybacks and future acquisitions. IDEX Corporation, a diversified, engineered products company serving high-growth niche markets, has been a consistent performer over time with industry leading margins, returns and cash flow dynamics. The PM team believes the company is very well positioned to take advantage of slowly improving industrial fundamentals globally. B/E Aerospace, Inc. is a leading aerospace equipment provider with a focus on various cabin interior systems and parts for the commercial aerospace and business jet markets. Given the company’s content on current new build aircraft and solutions for retrofits, the PM team believes the company remains very well positioned for continued profitable growth. Jarden Corporation, a company that engages in the manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, and distribution of consumer products used in and around the home, performed well driven by accelerating organic sales growth, aggressive share buybacks and the announcement of a strategic deal. The PM team believes that the company’s rising free cash flow position may result in future mergers and acquisitions and share buybacks. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Underperformers | ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a company that focuses on therapies used to treat drug-resistant, difficult-to-treat cancers. The Portfolio Managers believe that investors were caught off-guard by an unexpected Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) halt

placed on ARIAD’s late-stage clinical trial which was analyzing the firm’s leukemia drug candidate Iclusig. The Fund’s position was sold. Fusion-io, Inc., a producer of commercial data storage using “flash” memory, continued to have customer-concentration issues which plagued the firm in recent periods, exacerbated by multiple management departures earlier in the year. Despite a solid product offering, Fusion-io appears to have lost its strategic footing for the time being and the stock has suffered. As a result, the Fund’s position was sold. Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. is a specialty retailer of vitamins, sports nutrition, and health and beauty aids products. The stock had been a strong long term performer for the Fund, but it suffered a sharp sell-off early in the year as the firm back-end-loaded guidance for 2013. The company has continued to gain market share and maintain solid earnings growth. The Fund continues to hold this position. Monster Worldwide, Inc. provides online employment solutions through offerings such as searchable job postings for prospective employees and resume database access for recruiters. The firm has proceeded with some selective restructuring as part of a cost-savings initiative while continuing to entertain and evaluate strategic alternatives through a possible sale of the company. Shares of the stock have waned as the anticipated sale of the company has taken longer than expected. The Fund sold its position in the stock. Walter Energy, Inc., a producer of metallurgical coal used by the steel industry, softened manufacturing expectations, hampered by weakness in China’s economic outlook. This resulted in elevated metallurgical-coal supply levels that weighed heavily on the pricing environment for the company as well as others in the industry. The Fund’s position in the stock was sold.

Top performers | Medidata Solutions, Inc. provides technology used to enhance its customers’ efficiency in clinical development and research processes. The firm continues to experience solid demand for its clinical trial software and is taking market share from competitors at a substantial rate as it leverages its differentiated product offerings. The Fund continues to hold the stock. United Therapeutics Corp. is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of unique products to address the medical needs of patients with chronic and life threatening conditions such as pulmonary arterial hypertension. The Portfolio Managers believe that the company has benefitted from better-than-expected growth of its core marketed product portfolio as its diverse revenue base provides solid visibility from one period to the next. The Fund continues to hold the stock. Lufkin Industries, Inc., is a manufacturer of pump jacks used in the enhanced oil-recovery process. Its stock advanced when General Electric Co. announced its intention to purchase the stock at a substantial premium. The stock was sold prior to the acquisition. Gulfport Energy Corp., an independent oil and natural-gas exploration and production company, continues to see positive well results within its Utica acreage in Ohio. The Portfolio Management team expects the company to benefit from production increases on several of those wells as they begin to ramp. The Fund continues to hold this position. Colfax Corp., a manufacturer of fluid and gas handling and fabrication technology, has benefitted from close alignment with the secular growth tailwinds of low-cost natural gas in North America, which has fostered substantial capital investments as firms pour resources into building out. The Fund continues to hold this position.

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund

Portfolio Managers | Charles Schwartz, CFA^®, Betsy Pecor, CFA^®, and Matthew McGeary, CFA^®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund (the “Fund”) and have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since its inception.

The Fund benefitted from positive absolute and relative performance in most sectors, including good performance in the consumer staples, energy, financials, materials and utilities sectors relative to the Fund’s benchmark. Consumer discretionary, information technology, and telecommunications services returned in-line relative results for the period. The health care and industrials sectors put up nicely positive returns, but lagged the benchmark. The Fund underperformed most in the health care and industrials sectors. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Underperformers | Mistras Group, Inc. provides highly technical products and services that test the structural integrity and reliability of infrastructure in the energy, industrial and public marketplaces. The company’s business was negatively impacted by the slow economy in the United States and very low activity levels in the oil refining industry throughout the year. The Fund continues to hold the security

due to the company’s niche focus and growth potential. The Portfolio Management team (“PM team”) believes that ValueClick, Inc., a digital marketing services provider, has experienced a tough combination of an increasingly competitive landscape and some self-inflicted sales execution issues. Additionally, there was a less-than-anticipated windfall to the company from Google Inc. in connection with the company’s exit from the affiliate marketing business. Vitamin Shoppe, Inc., a specialty retailer of vitamins, sports nutrition, and health and beauty aids products, underperformed due to a deceleration in sales, declining new store productivity, margin-dilutive investments and increased promotional activity; all of these factors led to back-end-loaded guidance for 2013. The PM team continues to like the company’s positioning in the vitamin, minerals and supplements market, its specialized niche as the industry leader based on its broad assortment and well-trained sales associates plus its square footage growth potential. Volcano Corporation, a developer of devices designed to assist with percutaneous coronary intervention, has had inconsistent performance this year. The PM team believes that much of the blame is on general industry malaise, and that there has been a significant decrease in volumes, which appears to have been reported by other larger companies that focus in the space. The company also has a large exposure to Japan, and has been hurt on foreign currency exchange rates. Vocera Communications, Inc. is a leader in hands-free, instant communication solutions with a focus on the healthcare industry. The company believes this is a $6 billion global market opportunity, where they are less than 2% penetrated. It has over 750 customers and a 95% retention rate. Unfortunately, being a young company, it is still learning the ways of its customers and, as such, reported first quarter financial results and guidance that did not meet investor expectations. The PM team believes that the company had a nice second quarter, and remains conservative on forward guidance. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “underperformers.”

Top performers | Evercore Partners Inc., an independent investment banking firm, performed well, driven by strong revenue production, a growing advisory backlog, and opportunistic hiring of advisory senior managing directors. The Middleby Corporation provides a diversified suite of cooking equipment to the commercial food service and food processing industries. The company posted better-than-expected results all year driven by solid growth in its core businesses and through its purchase of Viking Range Corp., which is the company’s first foray into the high-end residential market. Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc., a domestic oil and gas exploration and production company, posted strong results this year. The company spent the year divesting non-core assets and focusing its attention on its core growth assets in the Eagle Ford, Utica and Niobrara basins. The PM team believes that production growth has been very strong and the company’s balance sheet has improved. Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. is the largest sports bar restaurant chain in the domestic casual dining industry, with nearly 1,000 units. The stock has performed well recently due to better-than-expected margins as a result of moderating traditional wing prices, as well as the firm’s July rollout of ordering wings by the portion, which has benefited margins with no significant customer pushback. Additionally, the stock has outperformed as same-store-sales trends have been better than expected. J2 Global, Inc., a company offering internet business solutions primarily to the small business market, performed well as a result of improved financial metrics in its core cloud-based business solutions as well as having better-than-expected results from its digital media segment. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Performance Summary and Commentary




Eagle Smaller Company Fund

Portfolio Managers | David M. Adams, CFA^®, and John “Jack” McPherson, CFA^®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Smaller Company Fund (the “Fund”) and have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since its inception.

Performance discussion | For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 33.60% (excluding front-end sales charges of 4.75%) underperforming both benchmark indices, the Russell 2000^® Index and, secondarily, the Russell 2500^TM Index, which returned 36.28% and 35.41%, respectively. The Fund benefitted from positive performance in eight of ten sectors, including strong performance in the industrials, financials, consumer staples and utilities sectors relative to the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund’s holdings in materials, health care, energy, consumer discretionary, information technology and telecommunication services lagged their index peers. In materials, the Fund was hurt by weak stock selection, while being neutrally weighted. In health care, the Fund’s stock selections underperformed, while being underweight. In energy, the Fund underperformed due to weak stock selection, while being modestly overweight. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Growth of a $10,000 investment from 11/03/08 to 10/31/13 (a)

Underperformers | IAMGOLD Corporation, a leading gold mining company, declined 66% due to falling gold prices that the Portfolio

Management (“PM team”) believes drove investors away from gold mining companies and company-specific project cost over-runs. As the PM team investment thesis was never predicated on a gold “bet”, we continue to believe the cost over-run issues are transitory and believe the company can extract value from its asset base over time. Therefore the Fund continues to hold this security. Net1 UEPS Technologies, Inc., an electronic transactions provider in under-banked developing nations, fell 54% after the company announced it was being investigated by the Department of Justice, FBI and SEC for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Fund no longer holds this security. Tower Group International, LTD., a property/casualty insurance company, fell 76% due to the fallout after the company announced it would be increasing prior period loss reserves for its legacy insured portfolio. As of the period end, the PM team is evaluating their options and the Fund continues to hold this security. AuRico Gold Inc., a gold and silver mining company, declined 50% as falling gold prices drove investors away from gold mining companies, and there was a disappointing earnings outlook as the company absorbed production cost increases. The PM team continues to believe the company can extract value from its asset base, and therefore, the Fund continues to hold the security. Coal producer, Arch Coal, Inc., fell 46% as the company lowered its earnings outlook due to weak demand in the United States, as well as lower-than-expected profitability in some of its operations. The Fund continues to hold the position as the PM team believes that demand destruction has reached its trough and the company continues to enjoy solid growth in overseas demand.

Top performers | Dycom Industries, Inc., a provider of engineering and construction services for telecommunications companies, rose 108% as the company is enjoying a multi-year tailwind of an improved outlook for capital spending by its largest customers. In addition, the company’s recent sizeable acquisition of the telecommunications infrastructure services subsidiaries of Quanta Services, Inc. should provide it greater scale when bidding on new contracts. Euronet Worldwide, Inc., an electronic transaction processing company, rose 114% after posting several strong earnings reports. The PM team believes that the company is benefitting from strong secular demand trends in most of its businesses as well as from its own fundamental execution efforts. On Assignment, Inc., a leading specialty staffing company that places professionals in the technology, life sciences, and health care sectors, appreciated 77% as the company is executing well and posting strong results. The PM team believes that the company continues to benefit from skill-set imbalances and high demand for temporary workers in each of its markets. The PM team believes the company is poised to benefit from strong synergies and a higher growth profile of its recent transformational acquisition, a continuation of strong demand trends in its end markets, and the expansion of its workforce. Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a multi-level marketer of primarily personal care products, rose 152% after several impressive earnings reports. The PM team believes that the company should continue to benefit from recent new product introductions, a robust new product pipeline, promising sales force growth and diverse end-market demand both domestically and in emerging markets such as China. Oceaneering International, Inc., a provider of oilfield services and equipment, appreciated 66% as a result of strong underlying fundamentals and a favorable long-term outlook for the company’s various businesses. The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Each Trust offers shares in the following series (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and are advised by Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle” or “Manager”).

•

The Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund (“Capital Appreciation Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

•

The Eagle Growth & Income Fund (“Growth & Income Fund”) primarily seeks long-term capital appreciation and, secondarily, seeks current income.

The Eagle Series Trust currently offers shares in seven series:

•

The Eagle International Stock Fund (“International Stock Fund”) (commenced operations on February 28, 2013) seeks capital appreciation,

•

The Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (“Investment Grade Bond Fund”) seeks current income and preservation of capital,

•

The Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation,

•

The Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund (“Mid Cap Stock Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation,

•

The Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation,

•

The Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund (“Small Cap Stock Fund”) (commenced operations on December 31, 2012) seeks capital appreciation, and

•

The Eagle Smaller Company Fund (“Smaller Company Fund”) seeks capital growth.

The Eagle Series Trust also includes the Eagle Tax-Exempt Bond Fund which is not currently offered for sale.

Class offerings | Each Fund is authorized and currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R-3 and Class R-5 shares to qualified buyers. The Growth & Income Fund, the International

Stock Fund, the Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Mid Cap Stock Fund, the Small Cap Growth Fund, the Small Cap Stock Fund and the Smaller Company Fund are authorized and currently offer Class R-6 shares to qualified buyers.

•

For all Funds except the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Class A shares are sold at a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. For the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Class A shares are sold at a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class A share investments greater than $1 million, which are not sold subject to a sales charge, may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1% of the lower of net asset value (“NAV”) or purchase price if redeemed within 18 months of purchase.

•

Class C shares are sold subject to a CDSC of 1% of the lower of NAV or purchase price if redeemed within one year of purchase.

•

Class I, Class R-3, Class R-5 and Class R-6 shares are each sold without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC to qualified buyers.

NOTE 2 | Significant accounting policies

Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

Valuation of securities | The price of each Fund’s shares is based on the NAV per share of each class of a Fund. The Funds determine the NAV of their shares on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (“NYSE Close”), or earlier NYSE closing time that day. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the published closing price of securities traded on that exchange after the NAV is calculated, the Manager is not required to recalculate the NAV.

Generally, the Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value; however, a Fund may adjust the market quotation price of securities traded in foreign markets to reflect events that occur between the close of those markets and the time of the Fund’s determination of the NAV.

A market quotation may be considered unreliable or unavailable for various reasons, such as:

•

The quotation may be stale;

•

The quotation is not actively traded;

•

Trading on the security halted before the close of the trading market;

•

Security is newly issued;

•

Issuer-specific events occurred after the security halted trading; or

•

Because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE.

Issuer-specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include:

•

A merger or insolvency;

•

Events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters; or

•

Market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. markets.

For most securities, both the latest transaction prices and adjustments for securities traded in foreign markets are furnished by Board approved independent pricing services. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using Pricing and Valuation Procedures (“Procedures”) approved by the Board. A Fund may fair value small-cap securities, for example, that are thinly traded or illiquid. Fair value requires consideration of appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAV.

Pursuant to the Procedures, the Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for applying and administering the Procedures to a valuation committee comprised of certain officers of the Trusts and other employees of the Manager (“Valuation Committee”). The composition of this Valuation Committee may change from time to time. The Valuation Committee follows fair valuation guidelines as set forth in the Procedures to make fair value determinations on all securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable. For portfolio securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee, Eagle checks fair value prices by comparing the

fair value of the security with values that are available from other sources (if any). Eagle compares the fair value of the security to the next-day opening price or next actual sale price, when applicable. Eagle documents and reports to the Valuation Committee such comparisons when they are made. The Valuation Committee reports such comparisons to the Board at their regularly scheduled meetings. The Board retains the responsibility for periodic review and consideration of the appropriateness of any fair value pricing methodology established or implemented for a Fund. Fair value pricing methods, the Procedures and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board, and may occur as a result of lookback testing results or changes in industry best practices.

There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value price used by a Fund on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than the market price of such security on that day, as fair valuation determinations may involve subjective judgments made by the Valuation Committee. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading a Fund’s shares on a frequent basis in an attempt to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading. Specific types of securities are valued as follows:

•

Domestic exchange-traded equity securities | Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange-traded equity securities. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

•

Foreign equity securities | If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the NYSE Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. A Fund may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time trading ends in a foreign market on a particular security and the Fund’s NAV calculation. A Fund may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unavailable or unreliable. If an issuer-specific event has occurred that a Fund or Eagle determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, the affected Fund will price the security at fair value. The Fund also utilizes a


38

Notes to Financial Statements


			10.31.2013

screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the NYSE Close. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by a pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. Because the NAV of a Fund’s shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders would not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

•

Fixed income securities | Government bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds and convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

•

Short-term securities | The amortized cost method of security valuation is used by the Funds (as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) for short-term investments (investments that have a maturity date of 60 days or less). The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at cost as of the time of purchase and thereafter accreting/ amortizing any purchase discount/premium at a constant rate until maturity. Amortized cost approximates fair value.

•

Futures and Options | Futures and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, none of the Funds held futures or options.

•

Investment companies and Exchange traded funds (ETFs) | Investments in other investment companies are valued at their reported NAV. In addition, investments in

ETFs are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. If the prices provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

Fair value measurements | Each Fund utilizes a three-level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined below:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets;

Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered active; and

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and may include the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions on determining fair value of investments.

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and/or level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Valuation Committee, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. A Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the valuation date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Notes to Financial Statements


			10.31.2013

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, none of the Funds had any investments classified as Level 3 and there were no transfers in or out of levels 1, 2 or 3.

Foreign currency transactions | The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment transactions. Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies include gains and losses between trade and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the purchase and sale of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | Each of the Funds except the Small Cap Growth Fund is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency contracts which are used primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are translated to U.S. dollars using forward exchange rates provided by a pricing service as of the close of the NYSE each valuation day and the unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed, the gain or loss is realized. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the currency’s value relative to the U.S. dollar and from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, none of the Funds held forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT(s)”) | There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates.

Dividend income is recorded at the Manager’s estimate of the income included in distributions from the REITs. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Repurchase agreements | Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements whereby a Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase is required to be in an amount of at least 100% of the resale price. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, the Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred. At October 31, 2013, none of the Funds held a repurchase agreement.

Revenue recognition | Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Foreign taxes | The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, when the related income or capital gains are earned and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Fund invests. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors.

Expenses | Each Fund is charged for certain expenses that are directly attributable to it, and certain other expenses are allocated proportionately among the Eagle Family of Funds based upon methods approved by the Board. Expenses that are directly attributable to a specific class of shares, such as distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and administrative fees, are charged directly to that class. Other expenses of each Fund are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative percentage of net assets. The Funds have entered into an arrangement with the custodian whereby each Fund


			41

Notes to Financial Statements


10.31.2013

receives credits on uninvested cash balances which are used to offset a portion of each Fund’s expenses. These custodian credits are shown as “Expense offsets” in the Statements of Operations.

Class allocations | Each class of shares has equal rights to earnings and assets except that each class may bear different expenses for administration, distribution and/or shareholder services. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

Distribution of income and gains | Each Fund except the Investment Grade Bond Fund and the Growth & Income Fund distributes net investment income annually. Distributions of net investment income in the Investment Grade Bond Fund and the Growth & Income Fund are made monthly and quarterly, respectively. Net realized gains from investment transactions during any particular fiscal year in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, which, if not distributed, would be taxable to each Fund, will be distributed to shareholders annually in the following fiscal year. Each Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.

All dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income are deemed to be ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders from net investment income were as follows:

Offering costs | Offering costs of $136,518 and $128,275 associated with the formation of the International Stock Fund and the Small Cap Stock Fund, respectively, were accounted for as a deferred charge and are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations. For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2013, the International Stock Fund and the Small Cap Stock Fund amortized expenses of $89,815 and $105,727, respectively, and as of October 31, 2013, $46,703 and $22,548, respectively, of offering costs remain deferred.

Other | In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss to each Fund is expected to be remote.

Trustees and officers compensation | Each Trustee of the Eagle Family of Funds who is not an employee of the Manager receives an annual retainer along with meeting fees for those Eagle Family of Funds’ regular or special meetings attended in person and 25% of such fees are received for telephonic meetings. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are also reimbursed. Except when directly attributable to a Fund, Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis among each Fund in the Eagle Family of Funds. The pro rata allocation is for each Fund for which the Trustee is elected to serve. Certain officers of the Eagle Family of Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Eagle. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds except for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s

total compensation is paid equally by each Fund in the Eagle Family of Funds.

NOTE 5 | Federal income taxes and distributions | Each Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer as provided for in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required since each of the Funds intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. The Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2010 to October 31, 2013) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences primarily relate to deferral of losses from wash sales and non-REIT return of capital.

For income tax purposes, distributions paid during the fiscal years indicated were as follows:


	Ordinary income				Long-term Capital gains
	10/31/13		10/31/12		10/31/13		10/31/12
Capital Appreciation Fund		$1,078,104		$—		$—		$—

Smaller Company Fund		646,602		482,166		5,622,207		10,015,513

Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character; these adjustments have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. Financial reporting records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The reclassifications arise from permanent book/tax differences primarily attributable to net operating losses not utilized, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards

expired, return of capital distributions from REITs, adjustments for partnership distributions and income and merger adjustments. The reclassifications were as follows:


	Undistributed net investment income (loss)			Accumulated net realized gain (loss)			Paid-in capital

Growth & Income Fund		(274,148	)		274,149			(1	)

NOTE 6 | Fund Reorganization | After the close of business on January 20, 2012, the Growth & Income Fund acquired the net assets of the Eagle Large Cap Core Fund (“Large Cap Core Fund”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Termination as approved by the Board of Trustees of Eagle Series Trust on August 16, 2011. The purpose of this merger was to combine funds managed by Eagle with substantially similar investment objectives, although they employed different investment policies and strategies to reach those objectives. For accounting purposes, this transaction is treated as a merger. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange resulting in the Growth & Income Fund issuing 601,815 Class A shares, 588,982 Class C shares, 372,654 Class I shares and 1,595 Class R-5 shares (valued at $7,847,558, $7,436,436, $4,853,721 and $20,748, respectively) in exchange for 560,928 Class A shares, 539,815 Class C shares, 342,710 Class I shares and 1,455 Class R-5 shares of the Large Cap Core Fund. The securities held by the Large Cap Core Fund, with a fair value of $20,270,102 and identified cost of $19,073,144 at January 20, 2012, were the principal assets acquired by the Growth & Income Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Growth & Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments from the Large Cap Core Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Growth & Income Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and

losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The Large Cap Core Fund’s net assets at the merger date of $20,158,463, including $1,196,958 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Growth & Income Fund. Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2011, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Growth & Income Fund, pro forma results of operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 would include net investment income of $6,172,310, and net realized and unrealized gain on investments of $29,708,120, resulting in an increase in net assets from operations of $35,880,430. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since acquisition date, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Large Cap Core Fund that have been included in the Growth & Income Fund‘s statement of operations since the merger date, January, 20, 2012. Prior to the combination, the net assets of the Growth & Income Fund totaled $255,648,243. Immediately after the combination, the net assets of the Growth & Income Fund totaled $275,806,706.

NOTE 7 | Subsequent events | The Manager has evaluated subsequent events through December 19, 2013, the date these Investment Portfolios were issued, and determined that no material events or transactions would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ Investment Portfolios.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund, Eagle Growth & Income Fund, Eagle International Stock Fund, Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund, Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund, Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund and Eagle Smaller Company Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund, Eagle Growth & Income Fund, Eagle International Stock Fund, Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund, Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund, Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund and Eagle Smaller Company Fund (the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Understanding Your Ongoing Costs


(UNAUDITED)			10.31.2013

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges, or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The following sections are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect one-time transaction expenses, such as sales charges or redemption fees. Therefore, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information, see your Fund’s prospectus or contact your financial advisor.

Actual expenses | The table below shows the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund on May 1, 2013, and held through October 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the fiscal year, assuming actual returns after ongoing expenses. This table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.


Actual	Beginning Account Value May 1, 2013		Ending Account Value October 31, 2013		Expenses paid during period (a)		Annualized expense ratio (%)

Capital Appreciation Fund

(a) Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratios for each class of shares, multiplied by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by the actual number of days in the period (184), and then dividing that result by the actual number of days in the fiscal year (365).

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes | All mutual funds now follow guidelines to assist shareholders in comparing expenses between different funds. Per these guidelines, the table below shows each Fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment held from May 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013 and assuming for this period a hypothetical 5% annualized rate of return before ongoing expenses, which is not the

Fund’s actual return. Please note that you should not use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the Funds with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison.

	(UNAUDITED)			10.31.2013

Overview | At a meeting held on August 16, 2013, the Boards of Trustees for the Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund, Eagle Growth & Income Fund and Eagle Series Trust, including their independent members (together, the “Board”), approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle”) and: (1) Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund; (2) Eagle Growth & Income Fund; and (3) Eagle Series Trust, on behalf of the Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund, Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund, Eagle Smaller Company Fund and Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund. Each of the Funds mentioned is referred to as a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.”

The Board also approved the renewal of the investment subadvisory agreement with Eagle Boston Investment Management, Inc. (“EBIM”) as subadviser to the Eagle Smaller Company Fund. The investment advisory and subadvisory agreements are referred to herein as an “Agreement” and collectively, the “Agreements.”

In renewing the Agreements, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the annual renewal process. The Board, acting directly or through its committees, has been provided with information and reports relevant to the annual renewal of the Agreements, including: reports regarding the services and support provided to the Funds and their shareholders by Eagle, EBIM, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its affiliates (collectively, “J.P. Morgan”), a third party that provides sub-administration, transfer agent, fund accounting and custody services to the Funds, and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), which provides certain sub-transfer agent services to the Funds; information on the Funds’ performance and commentary on the reasons for the performance; presentations by Fund portfolio managers addressing, as applicable, Eagle’s and EBIM’s investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds, Eagle, EBIM, J.P. Morgan and USBFS, including responses to issues raised therein; and information on relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Eagle Funds and/or Eagle are responding to them.

As part of the renewal process, the Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received additional reports containing substantial and detailed information regarding the Funds, Eagle and EBIM. Among other matters, these reports included information on: (1) the nature

and extent of the advisory and other services provided by Eagle and EBIM; (2) the personnel of Eagle and EBIM; (3) the financial condition of Eagle and EBIM; (4) the compliance programs and records of Eagle and EBIM; (5) the performance of the Funds as compared to their peer groups and appropriate benchmarks; (6) the Funds’ expenses, including the advisory fee rates, the overall expense structures of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to funds within the same Morningstar population category (“Morningstar Category”) and peer funds within that Morningstar Category, and any applicable contractual expense limitations; (7) the anticipated effect of growth and size on the Funds’ performance and expenses, where applicable; (8) benefits to be realized by Eagle, EBIM and their respective affiliates; and (9) the estimated profitability of Eagle and EBIM under the Agreements, when available. The Board posed questions to various management personnel of Eagle regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal.

With respect to the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds; (2) the investment performance of the Funds; (3) the costs of the services provided to the Funds and the profits realized by Eagle, EBIM and their respective affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as the Funds grow; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Eagle and EBIM with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional investors); and (7) any other benefits derived by Eagle or EBIM from their relationships with the Funds.

Provided below is a discussion of the factors the Board considered at its August meeting to form the basis of its renewal of the Agreements. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Agreements and each Trustee may have accorded different weight to the various factors.

The Board noted that EBIM’s costs and profitability generally are less significant to the Board’s evaluation of the fee rates and expenses paid by a Fund than Eagle’s advisory fee rate and profitability and the Fund’s overall expense ratios. The Board noted that Eagle’s profits on the services it provided to the Funds are reasonable in light of Eagle’s costs in providing services to each Fund and that Eagle manages each Fund’s assets and provides a comprehensive compliance program for each Fund.

The Board considered that the Funds’ management fee rate structures provide for breakpoints, which is a reduction of the applicable fee rate as assets increase. The Board also considered that each Fund may benefit from economies of scale, and shareholders may realize such economies of scale, through (1) reduced advisory fees achieved when a Fund’s asset size reaches breakpoints in the fee schedules instituted by Eagle; (2) increased services to a Fund; or (3) allocation of fixed fund expenses over a large asset size.

Benefits. In evaluating compensation, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Eagle, EBIM and their respective affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. In this connection, the Board noted, among other things, that Eagle is responsible for serving as administrator for the Funds and oversight of the Funds’ service providers and subadvisers, and receives compensation for acting in these capacities. The Board noted that Eagle and its affiliates have entered into revenue sharing and services agreements with third parties for promotion and/or shareholder services.

The Board also recognized that Eagle Fund Distributors, Inc. (“Distributor”), a subsidiary of Eagle, serves as the principal

underwriter and distributor for the Funds, and as such, receives Rule 12b-1 payments from the Funds to compensate it for providing services and distribution activities. These activities could lead to growth in the Funds’ assets and the corresponding benefits of that growth, including economies of scale and greater diversification. In addition, other affiliates of Eagle have entered into agreements with the Distributor to sell Fund shares and receive compensation from the Distributor.

EBIM also may engage in soft dollar transactions in connection with transactions on behalf of the Eagle Smaller Company Fund. In this regard, the Board considered EBIM’s process for selecting broker-dealers and for engaging in soft dollar transactions, but noted that EBIM does not currently engage in proprietary or third-party soft dollar transactions on behalf of the Eagle Smaller Company Fund.

Conclusions. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to the Funds that: (1) each Fund was reasonably likely to benefit from the nature, quality and extent of Eagle’s and EBIM’s services, as applicable to the Funds; (2) each Fund’s performance was satisfactory in light of all the factors considered by the Board; (3) the fees payable under the Agreements and profits earned by Eagle or EBIM were reasonable in the context of all the factors considered by the Board; and (4) the current advisory fee rate structure provides each Fund’s shareholders with reasonable benefits associated with economies of scale. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board determined in its business judgment to renew the Agreements and to approve the Agreements between each Fund and Eagle, and Eagle and EBIM.

Additional Information About Risk Factors

The greatest risk of investing in a mutual fund is that its returns will fluctuate and you could lose money. Turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. Additionally, while the portfolio managers seek to take advantage of investment opportunities that will maximize a fund’s investment returns, there is no guarantee that such opportunities will ultimately benefit the fund. There is no assurance that the portfolio managers’ investment strategy will enable a fund to achieve its investment objective. The following table identifies the risk factors of each fund in light of their respective principal investment strategies. These risk factors are explained following the table.

Call | Call risk is the possibility that, as interest rates decline to a level that is significantly lower than the rate assigned to the fixed income security, the security may be called (redeemed) prior to maturity. A fund would lose the benefit of holding a fixed income security that is paying a rate above the current market rate and would likely have to reinvest the proceeds in other fixed income securities that have lower yields.

Credit | A fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt. Credit risk usually applies to most fixed

income securities, but generally is not a factor for U.S. government obligations.

Focused holdings | For funds that normally hold a core portfolio of stocks of fewer companies than other more diversified funds, the increase or decrease of the value of a single stock may have a greater impact on the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and total return.

Foreign securities | Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, a fund’s return and NAV may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions

and regulatory requirements in a particular country. Foreign markets, as well as foreign economies and political systems, may be less stable than U.S. markets, and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies can affect the value of a fund’s foreign assets. Foreign laws and accounting standards typically are not as strict as they are in the U.S., and there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Custodial and/or settlement systems in foreign markets may not be fully developed and the laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt. Foreign security risk may also apply to ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. The risks associated with investments in governmental or quasi-governmental entities of a foreign country are heightened by the potential for unexpected governmental change, which may lead to default or expropriation, and inadequate government oversight and accounting.

Government sponsored enterprises | Investments in government sponsored enterprises are debt obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government. These obligations vary in the level of support they receive from the U.S. government. They may be: (1) supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Government National Mortgage Association; (2) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association; (3) supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the issuer’s obligations, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association; or (4) supported only by the credit of the issuer, such as those of the Federal Farm Credit Bureau. The U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so in which case, if the issuer defaulted, the fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. government.

Growth stocks | Growth companies are expected to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors may punish the prices of stocks excessively, even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Growth company stocks also typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns.

High-yield securities | Investments in securities rated below investment grade, or “junk bonds,” generally involve significantly greater risks of loss of your money than an investment in investment grade bonds. Compared with issuers of investment grade bonds, junk bonds are more likely to

encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties. Rising interest rates may compound these difficulties and reduce an issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest obligations. Issuers of lower-rated securities also have a greater risk of default or bankruptcy. Additionally, due to the greater number of considerations involved in the selection of a fund’s securities, the achievement of a fund’s objective depends more on the skills of the portfolio manager than investing only in higher-rated securities. Therefore, your investment may experience greater volatility in price and yield. High-yield securities may be less liquid than higher quality investments. A security whose credit rating has been lowered may be particularly difficult to sell.

Inflation | Inflation risk is the risk that the market value of securities will decrease as higher inflation shrinks the purchasing power of any affected currencies.

Interest rates | Investments in investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk. The value of a fund’s fixed income investments typically will fall when interest rates rise. A fund is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates because it may invest in debt securities with intermediate and long terms to maturity. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than debt securities with shorter durations. Yields of debt securities will fluctuate over time.

Issuer and market | Issuer and market risk is the risk that the prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the fund may decline in response to certain events, such as general economic and market conditions, regional or global economic instability, interest rate fluctuations, and those events directly involving the issuers.

Liquidity | Liquidity risk is the possibility that the fund might be unable to sell a security promptly and at an acceptable price, which could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the fund’s liquidity. Market developments may cause the fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. The fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the fund.

Market timing | Because of specific securities a fund may invest in, it could be subject to the risk of market timing activities by fund shareholders. Some examples of these types of securities are high-yield, small-cap and foreign securities.


			59

Principal Risks



(UNAUDITED)

Typically, foreign securities offer the most opportunity for these market timing activities. A fund generally prices these foreign securities using their closing prices from the foreign markets in which they trade, typically prior to a fund’s calculation of its NAV. These prices may be affected by events that occur after the close of a foreign market but before a fund prices its shares. In such instances, a fund may fair value foreign securities. However, some investors may engage in frequent short-term trading in a fund to take advantage of any price differentials that may be reflected in the NAV of a fund’s shares. There is no assurance that fair valuation of securities can reduce or eliminate market timing. While the manager and transfer agent of the Funds monitor trading in each fund, there is no guarantee that they can detect all market timing activities.

Mid-cap companies | Investments in mid-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Mid-cap companies often have narrower markets and limited managerial and financial resources compared to larger, more established companies. The performance of mid-cap companies can be more volatile compared to larger, more established companies, which could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in mid-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.

Mortgage- and asset-backed securities | Mortgage- and asset-backed security risk, which is possible in an unstable or depressed housing market, arises from the potential for mortgage failure or premature repayment of principal. The reduced value of the fund’s securities and the potential loss of principal as a result of a mortgagee’s failure to repay would have a negative impact on the fund. Premature repayment of principal would make it difficult for the fund to reinvest the prepaid principal at a time when interest rates on new mortgages are declining, thereby reducing the fund’s income.

Municipal securities | A municipal security’s value, interest payments or repayment of principal could be affected by economic, legislative or political changes. Municipal securities are also subject to potential volatility in the municipal market and the fund’s share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to municipal bond market movements. Municipal securities with principal and interest payments that are made from the revenues of a specific project or facility, as opposed to general tax revenues, may have increased risks. Changes in a

municipality’s financial health may affect its ability to make interest and principal payments when due.

Other investment companies and ETFs | Investments in the securities of other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), (which may, in turn invest in equities, bonds, and other financial vehicles) may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company or ETF, a fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company or ETF. As a result, fund shareholders indirectly bear the fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company or ETF, in addition to the fees and expenses fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the fund’s own operations.

As a shareholder, the fund must rely on the investment company or ETF to achieve its investment objective. If the investment company or ETF fails to achieve its investment objective, the value of the fund’s investment will decline, adversely affecting the fund’s performance. In addition, because ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, ETF shares may potentially trade at a discount or a premium. Investments in ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to a fund. Finally, because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the portfolio manager may not be able to liquidate a fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting the fund’s performance.

Portfolio turnover | A fund may engage in more active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to a greater extent than certain other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. A fund’s turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year or during periods within a year. A high rate of portfolio turnover may lead to greater transaction costs, result in adverse tax consequences to investors and adversely affect performance.

Sectors | Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events, which may, in certain circumstances, cause the value of securities of all companies in a particular sector of the market to change. To the extent a fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase.

Small-cap companies | Investments in small-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization

companies. Companies with smaller market capitalizations generally have lower volume of shares traded daily, less liquid stock and more volatile stock prices. Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. Newer companies with unproven business strategies also tend to be smaller companies. The above factors increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations, and could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in small-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in mid-cap or large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.

Stock market | The value of a fund’s stock holdings may decline in price because of changes in prices of its holdings or a broad stock market decline. These fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The stock markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of your investment may reflect these fluctuations.

Value stocks | Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that their true worth may not be fully realized by the market. This may result in the value stocks’ prices remaining undervalued for extended periods of time. A fund’s performance also may be affected adversely if value stocks remain unpopular with or lose favor among investors.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services¹

(a) Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed by the Trust’s independent public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $32,000 for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2012, and $31,000 for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2013.

The aggregate fees PwC billed to the Trust’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Trust’s investment adviser for assurance and other services directly related to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust were $0.00 for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2012, and $0.00 for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2013.

The aggregate tax fees PwC billed to the Trust for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services were $6,000 for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2012, and $6,000 for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2013. There were no aggregate tax fees PwC billed to the Trust’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Trust’s investment adviser for services directly related to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust for the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012, and October 31, 2013.
