Returns for Class A shares are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Returns for Class C shares are shown with and without the 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year only. The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each share class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiathreadneedle.com/investor/ or calling 800.345.6611.

The Blended Benchmark is a weighted custom composite consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

The S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization U.S. stocks and is frequently used as a general measure of market performance.

The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Fund may not match those in an index.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Balanced Fund returned 9.99% excluding sales charges. The Fund’s Blended Benchmark returned 9.04%. During the same 12-month period, the Fund’s equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 15.94% while the Fund’s fixed-income benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -1.19%.

Market overview

The broad U.S. equity market delivered strong gains during the annual period, despite continued concerns about a future economic slowdown and a series of rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) that tapered from aggressive to more measured by period-end to tame stubborn inflation. Market momentum picked up as the period progressed as better-than-feared earnings drove equity gains. The period, however, was far from smooth.

In March 2023, the failure of a pair of U.S. banks and the collapse of European giant Credit Suisse led to fears of a financial crisis. In response, the Fed created a lending facility to support bank liquidity while the market began to price in multiple cuts in the federal funds target rate over the second half of 2023. At its March 2023 meeting, the Fed raised the federal funds target rate by another quarter-point to a range of 4.75% to 5.0%. The rate hike was generally welcomed by investors as a signal that the Fed viewed the financial system as remaining on stable footing.

Inflation continued to decline as the period progressed. Through August 2023, the rate of year-over-year U.S. inflation had decelerated to 3.7%, a meaningful reduction from the four decade high of 9.1% in June 2022, though still higher than the Fed’s 2% inflation target. Nonetheless, with the economy displaying surprising resilience and employment remaining historically robust, the Fed implemented additional 25 basis point increases at its early May and late July meetings, bringing the federal funds target rate to the 5.25% to 5.50% range. (A basis point is 1/100 of a percent.)

Sentiment remained quite positive through the latter months of the period, as the Fed slowed its pace of rate hikes in response to cooling inflation. Investors were further encouraged by the fact that economic growth and corporate earnings — while slowing — did not decline to the extent that the markets had anticipated in late 2022. These factors combined to fuel an impressive gain for equities, but the majority of the positive return was generated by a small group of mega-cap technology-related stocks. Much of the relative strength in this area came from companies expected to benefit from the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). The growth style strongly outpaced value as a result, with returns of 21.94% and 8.59%, respectively, for the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index, which is less influenced by AI-related trends and is more sensitive to concerns about the banking sector, returned 4.65%, unable to keep pace with the rally in large caps.

Within fixed income, sector performance was mixed for the performance period. Lower quality outperformed on an excess return basis, with high yield, emerging markets and investment grade BBB credit performing the best. Asset-backed securities (ABS) and investment-grade corporates produced positive absolute and excess returns over the period. In securitized bonds, agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) produced both negative absolute and excess returns. Within the investment-grade corporate market, lower rated securities generated positive excess returns relative to treasuries and outperformed higher quality securities over the period.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	The strong performance of the Fund’s equity segment during the period was led by performance of its holdings in the information technology, communication services, industrials, financials and health care sectors.
•	Top individual contributors to the performance of the Fund’s equity segment included:

○	NVIDIA Corp., a semiconductor company that is a leading supplier of artificial intelligence hardware and software;
○	Microsoft Corp., a multinational technology company that develops and supports software, services, devices and solutions worldwide; and
○	Eli Lilly & Co., a drug manufacturer that develops and markets human pharmaceuticals worldwide.

•	The fixed-income segment of the Fund benefited from owning sectors such as non-agency mortgages, ABS and CMBS, which had positive absolute returns during the period.

Columbia Balanced Fund | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•	Security selection within the fixed-income segment was positive within the ABS and CMBS sectors. Investment-grade corporate and ABS had positive total returns and excess returns during the reporting period.
•	The fixed-income portion of the Fund also benefited from its exposure to high-yield securities as high yield significantly outperformed investment grade during the reporting period.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The largest detracting areas for the equity portion of the Fund during the period included the real estate, materials and utilities sectors.
•	Holdings that detracted most from Fund performance within the equity segment included:

○	American Tower Corp., a real estate investment trust that owns and operates wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure in several countries worldwide;
○	CVS Health Corp., a healthcare company which owns CVS Pharmacy, CVS Caremark and Aetna, among many other brands; and
○	International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., a chemical company that produces flavors, fragrances and active ingredients for cosmetics.
○	The Fund’s positions in CVS Health and International Flavors & Fragrances were sold in the second half of the period.

•	The fixed-income portion of the Fund was long duration versus its benchmark, which negatively impacted performance in the fixed-income segment of the Fund as interest rates rose during the reporting period.

○

Compared to August 31, 2022, the 2-year Treasury yield increased 140 basis points (bps) from 3.45% to 4.85% while the 10-year Treasury yield rose 94 bps from 3.15% to 4.09%. The slope of the yield curve flattened. The yield difference between the 10-year Treasury and the 2-year Treasury was -76 bps in August 2023 versus -30 bps in the prior year.

•	Agency MBS generated both negative total returns and negative excess returns. The Fund added to them during the year and was overweight, which had a negative impact on performance. We continue to favor agency MBS due to the improved technical situation and cheap valuations versus long term averages.
•	Investment-grade corporates significantly outperformed treasuries during the period. The Fund had less exposure to the investment-grade corporate sector versus the benchmark as we believed other sectors were more attractive, which ultimately weighed on relative performance. Security selection within the sector, as noted above, contributed positively to performance.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. There are risks associated with fixed-income investments, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer term securities. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the Fund, negatively impacting its performance and NAV. Falling rates may result in the Fund investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the Fund’s income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks that subject the Fund to significant loss potential, including when used as leverage, and may result in greater fluctuation in Fund value. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties who contributed to this report. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Columbia fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular Columbia fund.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

March 1, 2023 — August 31, 2023
	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)
	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual
Class A	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,110.50	1,020.52	4.95	4.74	0.93
Advisor Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,111.70	1,021.78	3.62	3.47	0.68
Class C	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,106.10	1,016.74	8.92	8.54	1.68
Institutional Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,111.70	1,021.78	3.62	3.47	0.68
Institutional 2 Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,112.00	1,021.98	3.41	3.26	0.64
Institutional 3 Class	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,112.20	1,022.23	3.14	3.01	0.59
Class R	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,109.20	1,019.26	6.27	6.01	1.18

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments

(a)	Represents privately placed and other securities and instruments exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission registration (collectively, private placements), such as Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A eligible securities, which are often sold only to qualified institutional buyers. At August 31, 2023, the total value of these securities amounted to $1,637,027,098, which represents 20.54% of total net assets.
(b)	Variable rate security. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(c)	Variable or floating rate security, the interest rate of which adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(d)	Non-income producing investment.
(e)	Payment-in-kind security. Interest can be paid by issuing additional par of the security or in cash.
(f)	Represents a variable rate security with a step coupon where the rate adjusts according to a schedule for a series of periods, typically lower for an initial period and then increasing to a higher coupon rate thereafter. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(g)	Principal and interest may not be guaranteed by a governmental entity.
(h)	This security or a portion of this security has been pledged as collateral in connection with derivative contracts.
(i)	Represents a security purchased on a when-issued basis.
(j)	The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at August 31, 2023 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily determined either weekly, monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period. These base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR and other short-term rates. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or minimum rate. The interest rate for senior loans purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis will be determined upon settlement, therefore no interest rate is disclosed. Senior loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities. Generally, the Fund is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(k)	The rate shown is the seven-day current annualized yield at August 31, 2023.
(l)	As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, an affiliated company is one in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting securities, or a company which is under common ownership or control with the Fund. The value of the holdings and transactions in these affiliated companies during the year ended August 31, 2023 are as follows:

Affiliated issuers	Beginning of period($)	Purchases($)	Sales($)	Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)($)	End of period($)	Realized gain (loss)($)	Dividends($)	End of period shares

Fair value measurements

The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the 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 level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement 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 are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these 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 Investment Manager. 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.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Investment Manager, through its Valuation Committee (the Committee), as valuation designee, responsible for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund for which market quotations are not readily available using valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. Representatives of Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC report to the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Financial Highlights

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The ratios of expenses and net investment income are annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2023

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Balanced Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Fund shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may have different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.

As described in the Fund’s prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class, Institutional 3 Class and Class R shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

Equity securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Securities with a closing price not readily available or not listed on any exchange are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices. Listed preferred stocks convertible into common stocks are valued using an evaluated price from a pricing service.

Debt securities generally are valued based on prices obtained from pricing services, which are intended to reflect market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate fair value.

Asset- and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities’ cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Senior loan securities for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued by pricing services at the average of the bids received.

Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are determined at the scheduled closing time of the New York Stock Exchange. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy approved by the Board of Trustees. Under the policy, the Fund may utilize a third-party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third-party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of a settlement price, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security, if available.

The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (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 (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative instruments

Columbia Balanced Fund | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, failure of the clearinghouse or CCP may pose additional counterparty credit risk. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients and such shortfall is remedied by the CCP or otherwise, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms for most over-the-counter derivatives are subject to regulatory requirements to exchange variation margin with trading counterparties and may have contract specific margin terms as well. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the broker or receive interest income on cash collateral pledged to the broker. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In determining whether to exercise such termination rights, the Fund would consider, in addition to counterparty credit risk, whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts

Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and to manage exposure to movements in interest rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund generally expects to earn interest income on its margin deposits. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Investments in senior loans

The Fund may invest in senior loan assignments. When the Fund purchases an assignment of a senior loan, the Fund typically has direct rights against the borrower; provided, however, that the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. Although certain senior loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In the event that the administrator or collateral agent of a loan becomes insolvent or enters into receivership or bankruptcy, the Fund may incur costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. The risk of loss is greater for unsecured or subordinated loans. In addition, senior loan assignments are vulnerable to market, economic or other conditions or events that may reduce the demand for senior loan assignments and certain senior loan assignments which were liquid when purchased, may become illiquid.

The Fund may enter into senior loan assignments where all or a portion of the loan may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments, if any, are generally traded and priced in the same manner as other senior loan securities and are disclosed as unfunded senior loan commitments in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments with a corresponding payable for investments purchased. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities to cover these commitments.

Asset- and mortgage-backed securities

The Fund may invest in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The maturity dates shown represent the original maturity of the underlying obligation. Actual maturity may vary based upon prepayment activity on these obligations. All, or a portion, of the obligation may be prepaid at any time because the underlying asset may be prepaid. As a result, decreasing market interest rates could result in an increased level of prepayment. An increased prepayment rate will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. Unless otherwise noted, the coupon rates presented are fixed rates.

Delayed delivery securities

The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” or "forward commitment" basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

46	Columbia Balanced Fund \| Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

To be announced securities

The Fund may trade securities on a To Be Announced (TBA) basis. As with other delayed-delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a TBA security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms.

In some cases, Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (MSFTAs) may be used to govern transactions of certain forward-settling agency mortgage-backed securities, such as delayed-delivery and TBAs, between the Fund and counterparty. The MSFTA maintains provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral relating to such transactions.

Mortgage dollar roll transactions

The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar but not identical securities (same type, coupon and maturity) on a specified future date. These transactions may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund may benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique may diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price, or that the counterparty may default on its obligations. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.

Security transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

The trade date for senior loans purchased in the primary market is the date on which the loan is allocated. The trade date for senior loans purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.

Income recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.

The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. The Fund may also adjust accrual rates when it becomes probable the full interest will not be collected and a partial payment will be received. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of an ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.

Columbia Balanced Fund | Annual Report 2023

recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.

Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities on the payment date, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.

The value of additional securities received as an income payment through a payment-in-kind, if any, is recorded as interest income and increases the cost basis of such securities.

The Fund may receive other income from senior loans, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts are included in Interest Income in the Statement of Operations.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Determination of class net asset value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal income tax status

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income, capital gain net income and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Foreign taxes

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Recent accounting pronouncements and regulatory updates

Tailored Shareholder Reports

In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Fund to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendments.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.72% to 0.5075% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended August 31, 2023 was 0.5738% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Compensation of board members

Members of the Board of Trustees who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Trustees’ fees" in the Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.

Transfer agency fees

Columbia Balanced Fund | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

serve as sub-transfer agent. Prior to January 1, 2023, SS&C GIDS was known as DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of SS&C GIDS for services as sub-transfer agent and SS&C GIDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

	Effective rate (%)
Class A	0.10
Advisor Class	0.10
Class C	0.10
Institutional Class	0.10
Institutional 2 Class	0.06
Institutional 3 Class	0.01
Class R	0.10

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended August 31, 2023, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses of the Fund by $1,548.

Distribution and service fees

The Fund has entered into an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. The Board of Trustees has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.

Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively.

Although the Fund may pay distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for shareholder services), the Fund currently limits such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.

Sales charges (unaudited)

Sales charges, including front-end charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the year ended August 31, 2023, if any, are listed below:

	Front End (%)	CDSC (%)	Amount ($)
Class A	5.75	0.50 - 1.00^(a)	2,575,935
Class C	—	1.00^(b)	58,375

(a)	This charge is imposed on certain investments of between $1 million and $50 million redeemed within 18 months after purchase, as follows: 1.00% if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
(b)	This charge applies to redemptions within 12 months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.

The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period(s) disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rate(s) as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets:

	Fee rate(s) contractual through December 31, 2023
Class A	1.08%
Advisor Class	0.83
Class C	1.83
Institutional Class	0.83
Institutional 2 Class	0.80
Institutional 3 Class	0.75
Class R	1.33

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, derivative investments, tax straddles, principal and/or interest from fixed income securities, capital loss carryforwards, trustees’ deferred compensation, foreign currency transactions and distribution reclassifications. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

Columbia Balanced Fund | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
(119,074)	119,074	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
111,946,209	267,812,510	379,758,719	198,579,497	591,121,606	789,701,103

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
29,427,075	—	(24,438,463)	1,849,313,886

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
7,109,676,117	2,062,514,313	(213,200,427)	1,849,313,886

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at August 31, 2023, may be available to reduce future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, for the year ended August 31, 2023, capital loss carryforwards utilized, if any, were as follows:

No expiration short-term ($)	No expiration long-term ($)	Total ($)	Utilized ($)
(24,438,463)	—	(24,438,463)	—

Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Portfolio information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $13,354,917,890 and $13,697,479,444, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 2023, of which $10,945,780,809 and $10,464,232,766, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 6. Affiliated money market fund

The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted amendments to money market fund rules requiring institutional prime money market funds like the Affiliated MMF to be subject, by October 2, 2024, to a liquidity fee if daily net redemptions exceed 5% of net assets and, by April 2, 2024, to a discretionary liquidity fee up to 2% if the imposition of such a fee is determined to be in the best interest of the Affiliated MMF.

Note 7. Interfund lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and, except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject to certain restrictions.

Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.

The Fund’s activity in the Interfund Program during the year ended August 31, 2023 was as follows:

Borrower or lender	Average loan balance ($)	Weighted average interest rate (%)	Number of days with outstanding loans
Lender	2,815,385	4.87	13

Interest income earned by the Fund is recorded as interfund lending in the Statement of Operations. The Fund had no outstanding interfund loans at August 31, 2023.

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt instruments in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer defaults or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling, or is perceived to be unable or unwilling, to honor its financial obligations, such as making payments to the Fund when due. Credit rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain debt instruments to indicate their credit risk. Lower-rated or unrated debt instruments held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt instruments.

Derivatives risk

Losses involving derivative instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small movement in the underlying reference (which is generally the price, rate or other economic indicator associated with a security(ies), commodity, currency, index or other instrument or asset) may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund. Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk and pricing risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if interest rates rise, the values of debt instruments tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt instruments tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Higher periods of inflation could lead such authorities to raise interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Fund is subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments may not keep pace with inflation.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.

Market risk

The Fund may incur losses due to declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter-measures or responses thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, restricted cross-border payments and limited access to investments and/or assets in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events could negatively impact Fund performance.

Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities risk

The value of any mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities including collateralized debt obligations, if any, held by the Fund may be affected by, among other things, changes or perceived changes in: interest rates; factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages or other assets; the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements; or the market’s assessment of the quality of underlying assets. Payment of principal and interest on some mortgage-backed securities (but not the market value of the securities themselves) may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of a particular U.S. Government agency, authority, enterprise or instrumentality, and some, but not all, are also insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers) may entail greater risk than obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities are subject to liquidity risk and prepayment risk. A decline or flattening of housing values may cause delinquencies in mortgages (especially sub-prime or non-prime mortgages) underlying mortgage-backed securities and thereby adversely affect the ability of the mortgage-backed securities issuer to make principal and/or interest payments to mortgage-backed securities holders, including the Fund. Rising or high interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, making their prices more volatile and more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, affiliated shareholders of record owned 37.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Note 10. Subsequent events

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Note 11. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their activities as part of a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Balanced Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Balanced Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

(Unaudited)

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (Program). The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing the Fund’s liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.

The Board has appointed the Investment Manager as the program administrator for the Fund’s Program. The Investment Manager has delegated oversight of the Program to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the Committee). At a Board meeting during the fiscal period, the Committee provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, including:

•	the Fund had sufficient liquidity to both meet redemptions and operate effectively on behalf of shareholders;

•	there were no material changes to the Program during the period;

•	the implementation of the Program was effective to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk; and

•	the Program operated adequately during the period.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

Approval of Management Agreement

(Unaudited)

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in February, March, April, May and June 2023, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by a third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses by the Investment Manager to written requests for information by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel), to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees (including their subcommittees), such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Management Agreement.

The Board, at its June 22, 2023 Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to one or more benchmarks;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•

The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets;

•	Terms of the Management Agreement;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager under the Management Agreement, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

•	Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;

•	Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;

•	Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager with respect to compliance monitoring services;

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (JDL).

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager

The Board analyzed various reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager, as well as its history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of its personnel.

The Board specifically considered the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager. Among other things, the Board noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight over the past several years. The Board also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation to investment personnel.

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2022 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2023. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Management Agreement, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement, noting that no changes were proposed from the form of agreement previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.

Investment performance

The Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (iii) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance for certain periods ranked above median based on information provided by Broadridge.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services provided under the Management Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund’s contribution to the

66	Columbia Balanced Fund \| Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Investment Manager’s profitability. The Board reviewed the fees charged to comparable institutional or other accounts/vehicles managed by the Investment Manager and discussed differences in how the products are managed and operated, thus explaining many of the differences in fees.

The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2022 had declined from 2021 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the decreased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

On June 22, 2023, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that fees payable under the Management Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided and approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the lower rating is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. If a security is not rated but has a rating by Kroll and/or DBRS, the same methodology is applied to those bonds that would otherwise be not rated. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio returned 12.58%. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned -1.19% for the same period.

Market overview

During the annual period, the benchmark, which measures the broad U.S. investment-grade bond market, produced negative returns, spurred by persistently sticky inflation, which, in turn, emboldened an already hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed).

As the annual period began in September 2022, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.00% for the first time since 2007. Amid the sharp selloff in government bonds, interest rate volatility also spiked and led to the worst month for agency mortgage-backed securities in that sector’s history. Bonds staged a recovery in the fourth quarter of 2022 and into January 2023. Signs that inflation may have peaked and other encouraging economic data raised hopes the Fed may be approaching the end of its series of sharp interest rate hikes. However, sentiment reversed course in February 2023 as fresh economic data showed that prices did not decelerate as much as consensus expected, and many more jobs had been created to start the new year. Both of these signals were red flags for the Fed, which had downshifted the pace of its hikes earlier in the month. Corporate earnings added noise to the picture as more companies began missing estimates, and management teams turned increasingly cautious. As the market accepted that the Fed might still have a way to go in its tightening cycle, yields climbed and credit spreads widened. Interest rate expectations took another turn in mid-March following clear signs of stress in the banking sector. Yields tumbled across the curve, or spectrum of maturities, when regulators shut down two regional U.S. banks. The Fed looked through this financial sector instability and hiked interest rates for the ninth consecutive time, raising the targeted federal funds rate to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%.

In the second quarter of 2023, the benchmark fell modestly. While April was a positive month for fixed-income markets, led by a recovery from the indiscriminate selloff in the prior month, May saw a tenth interest rate hike by the Fed and the potential of a U.S. federal debt crisis. There was then a pause by the Fed in June, but one accompanied by expectations of further interest rate hikes later in the year. As a result, U.S. Treasury yields moved higher along maturities. In each of the last two months of the annual period, the benchmark posted slightly negative returns. In July, consensus quickly shifted to expect a soft landing and a belief that recession was not imminent. The Fed followed up its June pause by hiking interest rates 25 basis points. (A basis point is 1/100 of a percentage point.) In August, headwinds emerged for U.S. Treasuries, including the announcement of a sharp increase in upcoming issuance, uncertainty around foreign buying following a shift in the Bank of Japan’s monetary stimulus, a rally in energy prices and poor summer liquidity. Fitch Ratings downgraded U.S. debt from its AAA status at the beginning of the month, but market reaction was muted.

All told, yields rose across the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was up 94 basis points during the annual period. Throughout, the two-year to 10-year portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve remained inverted, meaning 10-year U.S. Treasury yields were lower than those of two-year U.S. Treasury yields, historically a foreshadow of a recession. In fact, the U.S. Treasury yield curve briefly touched some of its most inverted levels since the early 1980s in July 2023 before steepening just a bit. Globally, the scenario was similar, with government bond yields moving higher as most global central banks, both of developed and emerging markets, continued to tighten monetary policy through most of the annual period, moving to pausing cycles as inflation figures started to edge lower.

U.S. Treasuries and securitized bonds as a whole, including mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, were among the worst performing fixed-income sectors during the annual period, posting negative absolute returns. Treasury inflation-protected securities also performed poorly, as inflation levels, while persistently high, did fall significantly from the previous year. Conversely, leveraged loans, high-yield corporate bonds and sovereign emerging markets debt were among the strongest performing fixed-income sectors during the annual period, generating solidly positive total returns. Municipal bonds and U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds outperformed both the benchmark and U.S. Treasuries but posted only modestly positive absolute returns for the annual period.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	Relative to the benchmark, the Fund’s exposure to credit across the quality spectrum boosted its results most, as both investment-grade and high-yield credit sectors outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries during the annual period.
•	Allocations to sectors that are not components of the benchmark, including high-yield corporate credit, generated significant added value.
•	Security selection among investment-grade corporate bonds contributed positively to relative results.

○	Selection was especially beneficial in April 2023 amid the fallout of the regional banking crisis. For example, ahead of the Silicon Valley Bank failure, the Fund had no exposure at all to what we deemed to be higher risk regional banks due to their relative valuation versus the larger domestic investment banks.
○	Overweighted positions in industrials- and utilities-related investment-grade corporate bonds, which meaningfully outperformed financials-related issues within the sector, proved particularly prudent as well.

•	The Fund’s duration positioning contributed positively to its relative performance.

○	The Fund held a shorter duration stance than that of the benchmark during an annual period when interest rates rose.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The Fund had no notable detractors during the period.

The Fund experienced significant turnover during the period. The portfolio in general can have a volatile turnover pattern since it is used as a mechanism to capture all trades that cannot be completed in the underlying SMAs. This also requires the use of a lot of derivatives, which need to be rolled frequently. Additionally, the Fund required a higher level of rebalancing trades during the period due to an increase in client activity and flows.

This Fund is designed for the exclusive use of shareholders with strategic income SMAs. All portfolio construction, securities analysis and risk management actions are implemented for the combined portfolio experience toward the SMA’s overall objective of seeking total return, consisting of current income and capital appreciation. To that end, the portfolio’s positioning at any given time is intended to complement accompanying SMA holdings in a manner consistent with the overall strategic income investment strategy.

Derivatives usage

The Fund used U.S. Treasury futures, interest rate swaps and options on interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure, i.e., to express a shorter-than-benchmark duration stance. The Fund also used credit default swap indices and commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBX) indices to hedge and express investment views in the high-yield corporate credit and commercial mortgage-backed securities bond markets, respectively. On a stand-alone basis, these derivatives had a positive impact on Fund performance during the period.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are affected by interest rates, financial health of issuers/originators, creditworthiness of entities providing credit enhancements and the value of underlying assets. Fixed-income securities present issuer default risk. Non-investment-grade (high-yield or junk) securities present greater price volatility and more risk to principal and income than higher rated securities. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the Fund, negatively impacting its performance and NAV. Falling rates may result in the Fund investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the Fund’s income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Floating rate loans typically present greater risk than other fixed-income investments as they are generally subject to legal or contractual resale restrictions, may trade less frequently and experience value impairments during liquidation. Prepayment and extension risk exists because the timing of payments on a loan, bond or other investment may accelerate when interest rates fall or decelerate when interest rates rise which may reduce investment opportunities and potential returns. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Risks are enhanced for emerging market and sovereign debt issuers. Investing in derivatives is a

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

March 1, 2023 — August 31, 2023
	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)

Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio	1,000.00	1,000.00	1,046.30	1,025.21	0.00	0.00	0.00

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

* Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Financial Highlights

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The ratios of expenses and net investment income are annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization

Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a non-diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Fund shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and held by or on behalf of separately managed account (SMA) clients.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.

Derivative instruments

The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the broker or receive interest income on cash collateral pledged to the broker. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts

Swap contracts

Swap contracts are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and are entered into bilaterally or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. For a bilateral swap contract, the Fund has credit exposure to the broker, but exchanges daily variation margin with the broker based on the mark-to-market value of the swap contract to minimize that exposure. For centrally cleared swap contracts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, that it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price which may result in significant losses, and that the bilateral counterparty, FCM or CCP, as applicable, may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.

Credit default swap contracts

The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index and to manage credit risk exposure. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are transactions in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are typically bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.

As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).

As the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on a notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract with the counterparty occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation (recovery value) as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. These potential amounts may be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or upfront receipts upon entering into the agreement. The notional amounts and market values of all credit default swap contracts in which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.

As a protection seller, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract with the counterparty. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.

Any upfront payment or receipt by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.

Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.

Management services fees

The Fund does not pay a management fee to Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). However, Fund shares may only be purchased and held by or on behalf of SMAs where the Investment Manager has an agreement with the SMA program sponsor (the Program Sponsor), or directly with the SMA client, to provide investment management services to the Program Sponsor or the SMA. SMAs pay a fee directly, or indirectly through Program Sponsors, to the Investment Manager for providing investment management services to the Program Sponsor or the SMA, including on assets that may be invested in the Fund.

Compensation of board members

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

Transfer agency fees

Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with SS&C GIDS, Inc. (SS&C GIDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. Prior to January 1, 2023, SS&C GIDS was known as DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of SS&C GIDS for services as sub-transfer agent and SS&C GIDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees.

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rate as a percentage of average daily net assets was 0.01%.

Distribution and service fees

The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. The Fund does not pay the Distributor a fee for the distribution services it provides to the Fund.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through December 31, 2023, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, including indirect expenses of the underlying funds, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the annual rate of 0.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under the agreement governing this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for derivative investments and capital loss carryforwards. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
(1)	1	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 6. Affiliated money market fund

The Fund invests significantly in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted amendments to money market fund rules requiring institutional prime money market funds like the Affiliated MMF to be subject, by October 2, 2024, to a liquidity fee if daily net redemptions exceed 5% of net assets and, by April 2, 2024, to a discretionary liquidity fee up to 2% if the imposition of such a fee is determined to be in the best interest of the Affiliated MMF.

Note 7. Interfund lending

The Fund did not borrow or lend money under the Interfund Program during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Completion funds risk

Investors should be aware that the investments made by the Fund and the results achieved by the Fund at any given time are not expected to be the same as those made by other funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser, including funds with names, investment objectives and policies similar to the Fund. This may be attributable to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the use of a differentiated investment strategy. The Fund is intended to be used as part of a broader SMA program. The performance and objectives of the Fund should be evaluated in the context of the broader SMA program. The Fund is not designed to be used as a stand-alone investment. Please contact your SMA program sponsor or financial intermediary for more information.

Credit risk

Derivatives risk

Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Interest rate risk

Leverage risk

Leverage occurs when the Fund increases its assets available for investment using borrowings, short sales, derivatives, or similar instruments or techniques. The use of leverage may produce volatility and may exaggerate changes in the Fund’s net asset value and in the return on the Fund’s portfolio, which may increase the risk that the Fund will lose more than it has invested. Because short sales involve borrowing securities and then selling them, the Fund’s short sales effectively leverage the Fund’s assets. The Fund’s assets that are used as collateral to secure the Fund’s obligations to return the securities sold short may decrease in value while the short positions are outstanding, which may force the Fund to use its other assets to increase the collateral. Leverage can create an interest expense that may lower the Fund’s overall returns. Leverage presents the opportunity for increased net income and capital gains, but may also exaggerate the Fund’s volatility and risk of loss. There can be no guarantee that a leveraging strategy will be successful.

Liquidity risk

Market risk

The large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 has resulted in sanctions and market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets and significant devaluations of Russian currency. The extent and duration of the military action are impossible to predict but could be significant. Market disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter-measures or responses thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced

market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, restricted cross-border payments and limited access to investments and/or assets in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events could negatively impact Fund performance.

Money market fund investment risk

An investment in a money market fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by any bank, the FDIC or any other government agency. Certain money market funds float their net asset value while others seek to preserve the value of investments at a stable net asset value (typically, $1.00 per share). An investment in a money market fund, even an investment in a fund seeking to maintain a stable net asset value per share, is not guaranteed and it is possible for the Fund to lose money by investing in these and other types of money market funds. If the liquidity of a money market fund’s portfolio deteriorates below certain levels, the money market fund may suspend redemptions (i.e., impose a redemption gate) and thereby prevent the Fund from selling its investment in the money market fund or impose a fee of up to 2% on amounts the Fund redeems from the money market fund (i.e., impose a liquidity fee). These measures may result in an investment loss or prohibit the Fund from redeeming shares when the Investment Manager would otherwise redeem shares. In addition to the fees and expenses that the Fund directly bears, the Fund indirectly bears the fees and expenses of any money market funds in which it invests, including affiliated money market funds. By investing in a money market fund, the Fund will be exposed to the investment risks of the money market fund in direct proportion to such investment. To the extent the Fund invests in instruments such as derivatives, the Fund may hold investments, which may be significant, in money market fund shares to cover its obligations resulting from the Fund’s investments in such instruments. Money market funds and the securities they invest in are subject to comprehensive regulations. The enactment of new legislation or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operation, performance and/or yield of money market funds.

Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities risk

Non-diversification risk

A non-diversified fund is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its total assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund’s value will likely be more volatile than the value of a more diversified fund.

Regulatory Risk – U.S. Banking Law

controlled affiliates or products. The Investment Manager and/or its affiliates own 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund and because of such holding the Fund may become subject to U.S. federal banking law restrictions on proprietary trading, which would limit the Fund’s ability to purchase and sell securities on a short-term basis and thus could have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to implement its investment objective. Reducing the seed capital in the Fund to address these trading restrictions may result in the Fund being too small to efficiently engage in certain investment strategies, which could also have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. In addition, if the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates reduce their interest in the Fund, the Fund may be subject to additional transaction costs and adverse tax consequences. Moreover, the resulting reduced size of the Fund could threaten its ongoing economic viability and consequently lead to its liquidation.

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, affiliated shareholders of record owned 100.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Note 10. Subsequent events

Note 11. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Multisector Bond SMA Completion Portfolio (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and for the period October 29, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and for the period October 29, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board considered that the Fund is held exclusively by SMA clients of Columbia Threadneedle Investments, that the Fund does not pay management fees, and that Columbia Threadneedle Investments collects management fees from SMA clients directly or indirectly through SMA program sponsors.

Economies of scale

Because the Fund does not pay management fees, the Board did not believe it necessary to consider potential economies of scale associated with the growth of the Fund.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Overseas SMA Completion Portfolio returned 16.82%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Value Index (Net), which returned 20.74% for the same time period.

Market overview

Developed international equity markets delivered robust positive results over the one-year period ending August 31, 2023. As measured by groupings within the MSCI EAFE Index, eight of 11 economic sectors produced double-digit returns, with only real estate finishing with negative results. Stocks within the industrial, information technology, consumer discretionary and financials sectors were the best performers, up more than 20% in U.S. dollar terms. As measured by a comparison of the MSCI EAFE and S&P 500 indexes in U.S. dollar terms, international developed markets slightly outperformed.

In contrast to the final results, the period began and ended with downturns. After a significant decline in the first part of the period, developed international equities began an uneven but steady advance. Bits of good news sprinkled around the globe helped, such as the extremely warm winter across Europe, which allayed concerns of energy shortages resulting from the loss of Russian supplies after the invasion of Ukraine. More good news was the abandonment of the zero-COVID policy in China, allowing for activity to begin to normalize after the prolonged period of rolling lockdowns across much of the country. Europe began to see a few hints of falling inflation, particularly in Italy and Spain. Japanese and Australian retail sales rebounded (somewhat counter-intuitively after the Reserve Bank of Australia resumed rate hikes in May), as did business confidence in New Zealand.

U.S. dollar strength, which had eroded returns significantly for U.S. investors over the previous 12-month period, began weakening early during the current period and also provided a boost. As comparison, the MSCI EAFE Index lost about 7% measured in local currencies over the 12 months ending August 31, 2022, while the index fell nearly 20% when measured in U.S. dollar terms. But for the 12 months of the current reporting period, it gained more than 17% in U.S. dollar terms while delivering about 13% measured in local currencies.

Headwinds throughout the period included disappointing progress with China’s post-COVID lockdown rebound, which proved far less robust than hoped for, due in no small part to signs of a technology cold war as the U.S. escalated restrictions on sales of chipmaking equipment. A property slump, high local government debt and increasing consumer pessimism added to the overall economic worries, as did factory activity contracting over the last three months of the period.

China’s halting rebound was particularly influential in driving the month-long dip that concluded the reporting period, but it did not monopolize investor worries. Mounting inflationary pressures forced central banks globally into the unfortunate position of needing to tighten monetary policy despite deteriorating economic conditions. Stubbornly high inflation in Germany and the U.K., for example, prompted speculation that European Central Bank policymakers will become more aggressive and raise rates in August and September. On the energy front, reports surfaced that oil traders have indicated worries about oversupply and expectations for weak economic growth. And even though the war in Ukraine commanded less headline attention, its continuation continued to contribute uncertainty throughout the period.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•

The Fund underperformed its benchmark by a wide margin, primarily because of individual stock selection. Selection within the health care, communication services and information technology sectors meaningfully outweighed strong results within materials and energy. Similarly, from a geographic perspective, weak results within the United Kingdom and Singapore more than offset strong results within Japan.

•

Allocations from sector and country perspectives also detracted in aggregate. Exposures that detracted the most, based on a stock’s corporate domicile, were an overweight to Norway and underweights to Germany and Italy. A small allocation to China, through ownership of a water utility, also detracted. From a sector perspective, overweights to information technology, consumer staples and communication services hurt relative results.

Overseas SMA Completion Portfolio | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•

Key individual detractors included U.S. oil and natural gas producer Diversified Energy Co. PLC, which fell on concerns over growing debt, Norwegian salmon farmer Leroy Seafood Group ASA, which disappointed investors by lowering its harvest guidance and Singapore-based electronics technology manufacturer Venture Corp., Ltd., which worried investors with expectations for weakening demand.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	On the upside, the Fund did benefit meaningfully from a relative lack of exposure to real estate stocks.
•	From a country perspective, the Fund’s overweight to Greece was a positive (via ownership of bank Piraeus Financial Holdings SA).
•	Please note that sector and country allocations are largely a byproduct of the Fund’s bottom-up stock selection process.

This Fund is designed for the exclusive use of shareholders with international equity SMAs. All portfolio construction, securities analysis and risk management are implemented for the combined portfolio experience toward the SMA’s overall objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation. To that end, the portfolio’s positioning at any given time is intended to complement accompanying SMA holdings in a manner consistent with the overall international equity investment strategy.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Value securities may be unprofitable if the market fails to recognize their intrinsic worth or the portfolio manager misgauged that worth. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks that subject the Fund to significant loss potential, including when used as leverage, and may result in greater fluctuation in Fund value. See the Fund’s prospectus for information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Fair value measurements

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements – Security valuation.

Fair value measurements (continued)
The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Investment Manager, through its Valuation Committee (the Committee), as valuation designee, responsible for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund for which market quotations are not readily available using valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. These assets include certain foreign securities for which a third party statistical pricing service may be employed for purposes of fair market valuation. The model utilized by such third party statistical pricing service takes into account a security’s correlation to available market data including, but not limited to, intraday index, ADR, and exchange-traded fund movements.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts

Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Security transactions

Income recognition

The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships (LPs), other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, capital loss carryforwards and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
13,995	(13,995)	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
201,999	—	201,999	258,438	228,855	487,293

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
200,508	—	(690,998)	31,493

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
6,748,024	691,249	(659,756)	31,493

an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Completion funds risk

Financial sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the financial services sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the financial services sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk of regulatory change, decreased liquidity in credit markets and unstable interest rates. Such companies may have concentrated portfolios, such as a high level of loans to one or more industries or sectors, which makes them vulnerable to economic conditions that affect such industries or sectors. Performance of such companies may be affected by competitive pressures and exposure to investments, agreements and counterparties, including credit products that, under certain circumstances, may lead to losses (e.g., subprime loans). Companies in the financial services sector are subject to extensive governmental regulation that may limit the amount and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and interest rates and fees that they may charge. In addition, profitability of such companies is largely dependent upon the availability and the cost of capital.

Foreign securities and emerging market countries risk

Investing in foreign securities may involve heightened risks relative to investments in U.S. securities. Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to the risks associated with the issuer’s country of organization and places of business operations, including risks associated with political, regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events occurring in the country or region, which may result in significant market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. securities. Investing in emerging markets may increase these risks and expose the Fund to elevated risks associated with increased inflation, deflation or currency devaluation. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investment exposure to any one or a few specific countries, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with the conditions, events or other factors impacting those countries or regions and may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a fund that is more geographically diversified. The financial information and disclosure made available by issuers of emerging market securities may be considerably less reliable than publicly available information about other foreign securities. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and

Overseas SMA Completion Portfolio | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

August 31, 2023

few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.

Geographic focus risk

The Fund may be particularly susceptible to risks related to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within the specific geographic regions in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s net asset value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund.

Asia Pacific Region. The Fund is particularly susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries in the Asia Pacific region. Many of the countries in the region are considered underdeveloped or developing, including from a political, economic and/or social perspective, and may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on limited business, industries and/or natural resources or commodities. Events in any one country within the region may impact other countries in the region or the region as a whole. As a result, events in the region will generally have a greater effect on the Fund than if the Fund were more geographically diversified. This could result in increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s investments and losses for the Fund. Also, securities of some companies in the region can be less liquid than U.S. or other foreign securities, potentially making it difficult for the Fund to sell such securities at a desirable time and price.

Europe. The Fund is particularly susceptible to risks related to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions, including acts of war or other conflicts in the region, affecting issuers and countries in Europe. Countries in Europe are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one European country can have an adverse impact on, and potentially spread to, other European countries. In addition, significant private or public debt problems in a single European Union (EU) country can pose economic risks to the EU as a whole. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund. If securities of issuers in Europe fall out of favor, it may cause the Fund to underperform other funds that do not focus their investments in this region of the world. Uncertainty caused by the departure of the United Kingdom (UK) from the EU, which occurred in January 2020, could have negative impacts on the UK and EU, as well as other European economies and the broader global economy. These could include negative impacts on currencies and financial markets as well as increased volatility and illiquidity, and potentially lower economic growth in markets in Europe, which could adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.

Japan. The Fund is particularly susceptible to the social, political, economic, regulatory and other conditions or events that may affect Japan’s economy. The Japanese economy is heavily dependent upon international trade, including, among other things, the export of finished goods and the import of oil and other commodities and raw materials. Because of its trade dependence, the Japanese economy is particularly exposed to the risks of currency fluctuation, foreign trade policy and regional and global economic disruption, including the risk of increased tariffs, embargoes, and other trade limitations or factors. Strained relationships between Japan and its neighboring countries, including China, South Korea and North Korea, based on historical grievances, territorial disputes, and defense concerns, may also cause uncertainty in Japanese markets. As a result, additional tariffs, other trade barriers, or boycotts may have an adverse impact on the Japanese economy. Japanese government policy has been characterized by economic regulation, intervention, protectionism and large government deficits. The Japanese economy is also challenged by an unstable financial services sector, highly leveraged corporate balance sheets and extensive cross-ownership among major corporations. Structural social and labor market changes, including an aging workforce, population decline and traditional aversion to labor mobility may adversely affect Japan’s economic competitiveness and growth potential. The potential for natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and tsunamis, could also have significant negative effects on Japan’s economy. As a result of the Fund’s investment in Japanese securities, the Fund’s net asset value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund. If securities of issuers in Japan fall out of favor, it may cause the Fund to underperform other funds that do not focus their investments in Japan.

Market risk

24	Overseas SMA Completion Portfolio \| Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

Non-diversification risk

Regulatory Risk – U.S. Banking Law

Following the conversion of Ameriprise National Trust Bank into a federal savings bank in May 2019, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. continues to be subject to ongoing supervision by the Board of Governors for the Federal Reserve System as well as applicable U.S. federal banking laws, including the Home Owners Loan Act and certain parts of the Bank Holding Company Act, including Section 13 thereof commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule). These laws impose limits on the amount and duration of any proprietary capital held in the Fund by the Investment Manager, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. or certain of their controlled affiliates or products. The Investment Manager and/or its affiliates own 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund and because of such holding the Fund may become subject to U.S. federal banking law restrictions on proprietary trading, which would limit the Fund’s ability to purchase and sell securities on a short-term basis and thus could have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to implement its investment objective. Reducing the seed capital in the Fund to address these trading restrictions may result in the Fund being too small to efficiently engage in certain investment strategies, which could also have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. In addition, if the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates reduce their interest in the Fund, the Fund may be subject to additional transaction costs and adverse tax consequences. Moreover, the resulting reduced size of the Fund could threaten its ongoing economic viability and consequently lead to its liquidation.

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 49.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 35.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Small- and mid-cap company risk

Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies (small- and mid-cap companies) often involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies (larger companies) because small- and mid-cap companies tend to have less predictable earnings and may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. Securities of small- and mid-cap companies may be less liquid and more volatile than the securities of larger companies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Overseas SMA Completion Portfolio

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Overseas SMA Completion Portfolio (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and for the period September 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and for the period September 12, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and the broker; when replies were not received from the broker, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management Agreement

(Unaudited)

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in February, March, April, May and June 2023, including comprehensive responses by the Investment Manager to written requests for information by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel), to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees (including their subcommittees), such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Management Agreement.

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund, as well as performance relative to a benchmark;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses;

•

The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets;

•	Terms of the Management Agreement;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager under the Management Agreement, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

•	Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;

•	Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager with respect to compliance monitoring services; and

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund.

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
The Board specifically considered the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager. Among other things, the Board noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight over the past several years. The Board also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation to investment personnel.

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Economies of scale

Because the Fund does not pay management fees, the Board did not believe it necessary to consider potential economies of scale associated with the growth of the Fund.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

On June 22, 2023, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that fees payable under the Management Agreement (which there were none) were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided and approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

The Fund is currently managed by three independent investment management firms, and each invests a portion of the portfolio’s assets. As of August 31, 2023, Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership (Arrowstreet), Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (Baillie Gifford) and Causeway Capital Management LLC (Causeway) managed approximately 29.7%, 33.8% and 36.5% of the portfolio, respectively.

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Institutional Class shares of Multi-Manager International Equity Strategies Fund returned 23.04%. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) returned 17.92%.

Market overview

Global equity markets delivered outsized gains during the one-year period ending August 31, 2023, and bounced back after 2022 proved challenging. Macro pressures weighed on the market to start the year-long period, as they did at the end, and equities sold off during both the start and the end of the period. However, the market did advance steadily in the interim as macro pressures eased and the world broadly re-opened following the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably China abandoned its zero-COVID policy to start 2023, allowing for activity to begin to normalize after the prolonged period of rolling lockdowns across much of the country. Europe benefitted from falling inflation particularly in Italy and Spain, and warm weather during the winter alleviated concerns of energy shortages resulting from the loss of Russian supplies after the invasion of Ukraine. The consumer recovered and business confidence strengthened in the Asia Pacific region. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, which had eroded returns significantly for U.S. investors over the previous 12-month period, proved favorable and provided a boost.

While a resilient consumer and easing fears of a recession drove broad swaths of the market recovery, the world’s introduction to consumer-facing artificial intelligence (AI) products powered by large-language models (LLMs) resonated and drove technology outperformance. An LLM is a sophisticated AI system that uses advanced computer science techniques to process large amounts of text data and patterns in language, enabling human-like responses to queries. Almost as if programmed by lines of code, the steady cadence of new product releases from the world’s leading technology companies drove investor enthusiasm, especially for large-cap technology companies.

The uneven recovery of the Chinese economy, in addition to increased escalation of the decades-in-the-making technology cold war between the United States and China, did cause some market angst. Elsewhere in the world, declining property values, elevated local government debt and contraction in industrial activity did weigh on the economic outlook as well.

Arrowstreet

Our portion of the Fund’s portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the period.

As a quantitatively oriented manager, the primary determinant of our strategy’s success or failure tends to be the forecast power of our expected return models: our basket model and our stock model. Our basket model seeks to predict the relative returns of each of several hundred country sector baskets across the globe. The stock model seeks to predict the relative return of any individual stock in excess of its country sector basket return. The basket model tends to be more influential in affecting our country and sector allocations, while the stock model tends to be more influential in determining which particular stocks will be used to increase our exposure in any basket. Both our stock model and basket model were positive during the period. In terms of signals within our models, our indirect value signals within our stock model performed best, while indirect momentum underperformed. Within our basket model, our high frequency and value signals outperformed while our price momentum signal underperformed.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The industrials sector was the most significant sector-level contributor in our portion of the Fund during the period, primarily due to an opportunistic allocation to the Turkish industrials basket.

○	Positive selection and overweight positioning to the Japanese industrials basket additionally increased outperformance.

•	The financials sector was another sector-level contributor, largely driven by an opportunistic allocation to the Turkish financials basket.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

○	Positive selection and overweight positioning to the German and Swedish financials baskets further contributed to sector-level effects.
○	Underweight positioning to the Hong Kong and Australian financials baskets increased sector-level effects.

•	The consumer staples sector was another notable sector-level contributor, primarily driven by underweight positioning to the Swiss and U.K. consumer staples baskets.
•	From a geographic perspective, Japan was the most notable country-level contributor, in large part as a result of positive selection paired with overweight positioning to the Japanese industrials, energy and materials baskets. Positive selection and underweight positioning to the Japanese consumer discretionary basket further contributed positively to country-level effects.

○	Turkey was a significant country-level contributor, primarily as a result of the above mentioned results from the Turkish industrials and financials baskets.
○	Germany was another country-level contributor, largely because of positive selection plus overweight positioning to the German financials and health care baskets. Positive selection within the German consumer discretionary basket aided country-level results.

•	Individual contributors included Turkish airline company Turk Hava Yollari AO, Swiss multinational food products manufacturer Nestlé SA and Japanese auto maker Honda Motor Co.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Communication services was the only sector-level detractor, primarily driven by overweight positioning to the Swedish and Belgian communication services baskets.
•	Geographically, France was the most notable country-level detractor, mainly as a result of underweight positioning to the French industrials and consumer discretionary baskets. Negative selection and underweight positioning to the French materials basket weighed on results.

○	Russia was another significant country-level detractor, mainly due to our exposure to the Russian energy basket.
○	Belgium was another notable country-level detractor, largely because of overweight positioning to the Belgian communication services and consumer staples baskets.

•	Individual detractors in our portion of the portfolio included Swedish multinational telecommunications company Telia Co. AB, Swiss multinational healthcare company Roche Holding AG and Japanese bank holding and financial services company Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.

Baillie Gifford

Our portion of the Fund is compared to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Growth Index (Net), against which it outperformed during the 12-month period.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Stock selection drove our portion of the Fund to outperform its benchmark during the period.
•	Our allocation towards certain high growth companies helped drive performance.
•	An underweight towards emerging markets also helped performance.

○	In particular our holdings towards certain Latin American stocks such as MercadoLibre, Inc. and Copa Holdings SA contributed positively to performance.

•

The exposure towards certain high-quality European industrials companies also helped performance, with the likes of Irish cement business, CRH PLC, positively contributing to performance over the period. Another Irish industrial which rebounded following continued fundamental strength was Kingspan Group PLC, a leader in insulation materials.

•	Our portion of the portfolio is constructed from the bottom up, based on the attractions of individual companies with sector and country positions purely an outcome of stock selection. That said, the largest relative sector contributors were software and services, transportation and consumer discretionary. The three countries which contributed most positively were Ireland, Brazil and Germany.
•	The three stocks which made the largest contribution to return on a relative basis were MercadoLibre, CRH and SAP SE.

○	MercadoLibre is Latin America’s leading e-commerce and fintech player.
○	CRH, as mentioned earlier, is an Irish building materials business which supplies a wide range of product for the construction industry.
○	SAP is a leading German enterprise software business.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The pharmaceuticals, capital goods and commercial and professional services industries were the major detractors to performance over the period.
•	The stocks which detracted on a relative basis to performance in our portion of the Fund were Novo Nordisk, Adyen NV and Aker Carbon Capture ASA.

○	Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceutical company, was not held in our portion of the Fund but has been a strong performer for the benchmark.
○	Adyen is a Dutch payments company.
○	Aker Carbon Capture is a Norwegian pure-play carbon capture business.

•	The three countries which detracted most from relative performance were France, Japan and the Netherlands.

Causeway

Our portion of the Fund’s portfolio is compared to the MSCI EAFE Value Index (Net), which it outperformed during the period.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The top sector drivers of relative performance during the period were the industrials, financials and information technology sectors, due primarily to stock selection in all three sectors. We currently maintain an overweight position in industrials and information technology and an underweight position in financials.
•	Top individual contributors during the period included Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC, UniCredit SpA and Sands China Ltd.

○	Rolls-Royce is a jet engine manufacturer in the United Kingdom.
○	UniCredit is an Italian commercial bank operating throughout Western, Central, and Eastern Europe.
○	Sands China is an integrated resort developer and operator in Macau. We exited the position due to relative value considerations.

•	The top three country-level alpha drivers were Italy, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. We currently maintain overweight positions in Italy and the Netherlands, and an underweight position in Hong Kong.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The bottom sector drivers of relative performance during the period were the consumer staples, health care and energy sectors, due primarily to stock selection in health care and an overweight position in consumer staples. Our underweight position in energy produced positive results relative to the index. We currently maintain an overweight position in the health care sector as well.
•	Top individual detractors during the period included Roche Holding AG, FANUC Corp. and Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC.

○	Roche is a premier Swiss pharmaceutical and diagnostics company.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The Fund is managed by multiple advisers independently of one another, which may result in contradicting trades (i.e., with no net benefit to the Fund), while increasing transaction costs. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Value securities may be unprofitable if the market fails to recognize their intrinsic worth or the portfolio manager misgauged that worth. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. The Fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. Investments selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole. There can be no assurance that these methodologies will enable the Fund to achieve its objective. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks, which may result in significant losses. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

The views expressed in this report reflect the current views of the respective parties who have contributed to this report. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. These views are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Columbia fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any particular Columbia fund.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

(d)

Denotes a restricted security, which is subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. Disposal of a restricted investment may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted, although certain of those securities may be traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such a trade. These securities are valued at fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. At August 31, 2023, the total market value of these securities amounted to $0, which represents less than 0.01% of total net assets. Additional information on these securities is as follows:

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Investment Manager is responsible for the ultimate oversight of investments made by the Fund. The Fund’s subadvisers (see Subadvisory agreements below) have the primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.87% to 0.67% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended August 31, 2023 was 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Subadvisory agreements

The Investment Manager has entered into Subadvisory Agreements with Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership, Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited and Causeway Capital Management LLC, each of which subadvises a portion of the assets of the Fund. New investments in the Fund, net of any redemptions, are allocated in accordance with the Investment Manager’s determination. Each subadviser’s proportionate share of the investments in the Fund may also vary due to market fluctuations. The Investment Manager compensates each subadviser to manage the investment of the Fund’s assets.

Compensation of board members

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

Transfer agency fees

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.02% of the average daily net assets attributable to Institutional 3 Class shares.

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

	Effective rate (%)
Institutional Class	0.15
Institutional 3 Class	0.02

Distribution and service fees

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

Institutional Class	0.99%	0.99%
Institutional 3 Class	0.85	0.87

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In addition to the contractual agreement, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described above) so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Fund and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes. This arrangement may be revised or discontinued at any time. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, capital loss carryforwards, trustees’ deferred compensation, non-deductible expenses and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
635,400	(635,400)	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

concentrates its investment exposure to any one or a few specific countries, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with the conditions, events or other factors impacting those countries or regions and may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a fund that is more geographically diversified. The financial information and disclosure made available by issuers of emerging market securities may be considerably less reliable than publicly available information about other foreign securities. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Multi-Manager International Equity Strategies Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Multi-Manager International Equity Strategies Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management and SubadvisoryAgreements

(Unaudited)

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Multi-Manager International Equity Strategies Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds). In addition, under the subadvisory agreements (the Subadvisory Agreements) between the Investment Manager and each of Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership (Arrowstreet), Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (Baillie Gifford), Causeway Capital Management LLC (Causeway) and Threadneedle International Limited (Threadneedle), an affiliate of the Investment Manager (collectively, the Subadvisers), the Subadvisers have been retained to perform portfolio management and related services for the Fund. Although Threadneedle is not currently providing such services, the Investment Manager may in the future reallocate Fund assets to be managed by Threadneedle.

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (together, the Advisory Agreements). The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in February, March, April, May and June 2023, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by a third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses by the Investment Manager to written requests for information by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel), to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees (including their subcommittees), such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Board, at its June 22, 2023 Board meeting (the June 2023 Meeting), considered the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements for additional one-year terms. At the June 2023 Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory and subadvisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreements. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to one or more benchmarks;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•

•	Terms of the Advisory Agreements;

•	Subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager under the Subadvisory Agreements;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers under the Advisory Agreements, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

Agreements (continued)

(Unaudited)

•	Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;

•	Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager and Subadvisers, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;

•	Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers with respect to compliance monitoring services;

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (JDL).

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers

The Board analyzed various reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, as well as their history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of their personnel.

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2022 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2023. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by the Investment Manager in addition to monitoring each Subadviser), noting that no changes were proposed from the forms of agreements previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.

The Board considered each Subadviser’s organizational strength and resources, portfolio management team depth and capabilities and investment process. The Board also considered each Subadviser’s capability and wherewithal to carry out its responsibilities under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement. In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements, including the scope of services required to be performed. The Board noted that the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements are generally consistent with the terms of other subadvisory agreements for subadvisers who manage other funds managed by the Investment Manager. It was observed that no changes were recommended to the Subadvisory Agreements. The Board took into account the Investment Manager’s representation that each Subadviser was in a position to provide quality services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board further observed the various services provided by the Investment Manager’s subadvisory oversight team.

Agreements (continued)

(Unaudited)

After reviewing these and related factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreements supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Investment performance

Additionally, the Board reviewed the performance of each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway and the Investment Manager’s process for monitoring such Subadvisers’ performance. The Board considered, in particular, management’s rationale for recommending the continued retention of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway and management’s representations that the Investment Manager’s profitability is not the key factor driving their recommendation to select, renew or terminate Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s and Subadvisers’ performance and reputation generally, and the Investment Manager’s evaluation of the contribution of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway to the Fund’s investment mandate. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services provided under each of the Advisory Agreements. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability.

The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) was slightly below the peer universe’s median expense ratio shown in the reports.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of subadvisory fees paid to each Subadviser, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board also reviewed advisory fee rates charged by other comparable mutual funds employing each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway to provide comparable subadvisory services. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Approval of Management and Subadvisory

Agreements (continued)

(Unaudited)

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements with each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway were negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2022 had declined from 2021 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the decreased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Economies of scale

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

APPROVAL OF SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

At its meeting on March 10, 2023, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, approved an amendment to the Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and Causeway (the Causeway Subadvisory Agreement) for the purpose of reducing the fees payable thereunder by the Investment Manager to Causeway.

The Independent Trustees considered how the amendment to the Causeway Subadvisory Agreement would reduce the subadvisory fee rate paid to Causeway by the Investment Manager under the current Causeway Subadvisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Investment Manager had confirmed that there would not be any change to the nature or quality of the subadvisory services provided as a result of entering into the amendment, and that the Causeway Subadvisory Agreement, as amended, was substantially similar to the current Causeway Subadvisory Agreement in place except for the reduced fee. The Independent Trustees reviewed the performance of the Fund as well as the level of

Agreements (continued)

(Unaudited)

management fees paid by the Fund. The Independent Trustees noted that no management fees were proposed to change and that the level of services provided by the Investment Manager was also not proposed to change. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Contracts Committee, as part of the 2023 15(c) process, would review the continued reasonableness of each Fund’s management fee, including taking into account the reduced subadvisory fee levels.

The Independent Trustees noted the discussion, which is described below, relating to the renewal and approval of the advisory and subadvisory agreements for the Fund at the Contracts Committee and Board meetings in June 2022 (the June 2022 Meeting) and, in that connection, the discussion by Independent Legal Counsel of the Board’s responsibilities pursuant to Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) and the factors that should be considered in determining whether to approve or renew an investment management agreement. The Independent Trustees considered that they should apply these factors in considering the amendment to the Causeway Subadvisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees also considered that they should take into account the variety of written materials and oral presentations they received at their meetings in November 2022, as well as all of the information previously considered at the June 2022 Meeting regarding the proposed 15(c) renewal of the existing Funds’ advisory and subadvisory agreements.

After considering the factors described above relating to the amendment of the Causeway Subadvisory Agreement, and taking into account all of the factors considered, as described below, as part of the approval of the continuance of the current Causeway Subadvisory Agreement in June 2022, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed amendment to the Causeway Subadvisory Agreement.

General conclusions in connection with the Trustees’ previous approval of the continuance of the Fund’s existing advisory agreements

On an annual basis, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in November 2021 and March, April and June 2022, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party data provider, Broadridge, and comprehensive responses to written requests for information by Independent Legal Counsel to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Board, at its June 23, 2022 Board meeting, considered the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements for additional one-year terms. At the June 2022 Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory and subadvisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreements. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL.

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers

The Board specifically considered the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager, including, in particular, detailed information regarding the process employed for selecting and overseeing affiliated and unaffiliated Subadvisers. With respect to the Investment Manager, the Board also noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2022 initiatives in this regard. The Board also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to each subadvised Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation to investment personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions in services provided. The Board also considered added personnel and resources obtained by Columbia Threadneedle through Ameriprise Financial’s acquisition of BMO Financial Group’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) asset management business.

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2021 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2022. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

Investment performance

In this connection, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance for certain periods ranked above median based on information provided by Broadridge.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the performance of each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway and the Investment Manager’s process for monitoring such Subadvisers’ performance. The Board considered, in particular, management’s rationale for recommending the continued retention of each Subadviser and management’s representations that the Investment Manager’s profitability is not the key factor driving their recommendation to select, renew or terminate Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s and Subadvisers’ performance and reputation generally and the Investment Manager’s evaluation of each Subadviser’s contribution to the Fund’s broader investment mandate. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.

(Unaudited)

The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current "pricing philosophy" such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of subadvisory fees paid to each Subadviser, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board also reviewed advisory fee rates charged by other comparable mutual funds employing each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway to provide comparable subadvisory services. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of each of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements with each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway were negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each of Arrowstreet, Baillie Gifford and Causeway from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that in 2021 the Board had considered 2020 profitability and that the 2022 information showed that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2021 increased from 2020 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the increased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the Subadvisory Agreements did not occur at the same levels as the breakpoints in the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Board noted the potential challenges of seeking to tailor the Management Agreement breakpoints to those of a subadvisory agreement in this context.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

The Fund is currently managed by four independent investment management firms and by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (CMIA) and each invests a portion of the portfolio’s assets. As of August 31, 2023, CMIA, Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC (Conestoga), Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC (Hotchkis & Wiley), J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM) and Jacobs Levy Equity Management Inc. (Jacobs Levy) managed approximately 19.8%, 20.5%, 20.6%, 19.8% and 19.3% of the portfolio, respectively.

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Institutional Class shares of Multi-Manager Small Cap Equity Strategies Fund returned 5.83%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, returned 4.65%.

Market overview

The broad U.S. equity market delivered strong gains during the annual period, despite continued concerns about a future economic slowdown and a series of rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) that tapered from aggressive to more measured by period-end to tame stubborn inflation. Momentum picked up as the period progressed as better-than-feared earnings drove equity gains. The period, however, was far from smooth.

In March 2023, the failure of a pair of U.S. banks and the collapse of European giant Credit Suisse led to fears of a financial crisis. In response, the Fed created a lending facility to support bank liquidity while the market began to price in multiple cuts in the federal funds target rate over the second half of 2023. At its March 2023 meeting the Fed raised the federal funds target rate by another quarter-point to a range of 4.75% to 5.0%. The rate hike was generally welcomed by investors as a signal that the Fed viewed the financial system as remaining on stable footing.

Sentiment remained quite positive through the latter months of the period, as the Fed slowed its pace of rate hikes in response to cooling inflation. Investors were further encouraged by the fact that economic growth and corporate earnings — while slowing — did not decline to the extent that the markets had anticipated in late 2022. These factors combined to fuel an impressive gain for equities, but the majority of the positive return was generated by a small group of mega-cap technology-related stocks. Much of the relative strength in this area came from companies expected to benefit from the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). The growth style strongly outpaced value as a result. Small-cap stocks, which are less influenced by AI-related trends and more sensitive to concerns in the banking sector, were unable to keep pace with the rally in large caps.

•	An underweight exposure to the health care sector, particularly biotechnology, helped relative performance as this was among the worst-performing market segments.
•	Our industrials exposure helped, both the overweight allocation and positive stock selection.
•	The largest contributors were an eclectic mix of businesses that outperformed expectations.

○	HomeStreet, Inc., a financial services company operating primarily in the western United States.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Investments in small-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. The Fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. The Fund is managed by multiple advisers independently of one another, which may result in contradicting trades (i.e., with no net benefit to the Fund), while increasing transaction costs. Market or other (e.g., interest rate) environments may adversely affect the liquidity of fund investments, negatively impacting their price. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a holding, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

March 1, 2023 — August 31, 2023
	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Investment Manager is responsible for the ultimate oversight of investments made by the Fund. The Fund’s subadvisers (see Subadvisory agreements below) have the primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of their portion of the Fund. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.87% to 0.75% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended August 31, 2023 was 0.82% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Subadvisory agreements

The Investment Manager has entered into Subadvisory Agreements with Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC, Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. and Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc., each of which subadvises a portion of the assets of the Fund. New investments in the Fund, net of any redemptions, are allocated in accordance with the Investment Manager’s determination. Each subadviser’s proportionate share of investments in the Fund will vary due to market fluctuations. The Investment Manager compensates each subadviser to manage the investment of the Fund’s assets.

funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Trustees’ fees" in the Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

Transfer agency fees

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.02% of the average daily net assets attributable to Institutional 3 Class shares.

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, trustees’ deferred compensation, non-deductible expenses, earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares and miscellaneous adjustments. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
204,457	(451,551)	247,094

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
3,539,843	113,229,496	116,769,339	84,087,244	129,322,447	213,409,691

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

6,361,273	21,485,011	—	(11,924,681)

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized (depreciation) ($)
1,404,090,991	122,011,231	(133,935,912)	(11,924,681)

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

Note 5. Portfolio information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $1,115,750,843 and $1,042,166,436, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Industrials sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the industrials sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the industrials sector are subject to certain risks, including changes in supply and demand for their specific product or service and for industrial sector products in general, including decline in demand for such products due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including government regulation, world events, economic conditions and risks for environmental damage and product liability claims.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Multi-Manager Small Cap Equity Strategies Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Multi-Manager Small Cap Equity Strategies Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management and SubadvisoryAgreements

(Unaudited)

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Multi-Manager Small Cap Equity Strategies Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds). In addition, under the subadvisory agreements (the Subadvisory Agreements) between the Investment Manager and each of Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC, Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. and Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc. (collectively, the Subadvisers), the Subadvisers provide portfolio management and related services for the Fund.

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (together, the Advisory Agreements). The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in February, March, April, May and June 2023, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by a third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses by the Investment Manager to written requests for information by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel), to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees (including their subcommittees), such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Board, at its June 22, 2023 Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements for additional one-year terms. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory and subadvisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreements. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to one or more benchmarks;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•

•	Terms of the Advisory Agreements;

•	Subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager under the Subadvisory Agreements;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers under the Advisory Agreements, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

•	Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;

Approval of Management and Subadvisory

Agreements (continued)

(Unaudited)

•	Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager and Subadvisers, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;

•	Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers with respect to compliance monitoring services;

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (JDL).

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2022 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2023. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

Investment performance

The Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (iii) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that Fund performance was well within the range of that of its peers.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the performance of each of the Subadvisers and the Investment Manager’s process for monitoring such Subadvisers’ performance. The Board considered, in particular, management’s rationale for recommending the continued retention of each Subadviser and management’s representations that the Investment Manager’s profitability is not the key factor driving their recommendation to select, renew or terminate the Subadvisers.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s and Subadvisers’ performance and reputation generally, and the Investment Manager’s evaluation of the contribution of each Subadviser to the Fund’s investment mandate. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of subadvisory fees paid to each Subadviser, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board also reviewed advisory fee rates charged by other comparable mutual funds employing each Subadviser. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Table of Contents

Approval of Management and Subadvisory

Agreements (continued)

(Unaudited)

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements were negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2022 had declined from 2021 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the decreased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed.The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the Subadvisory Agreements did not occur at the same levels as the breakpoints in the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Board noted the potential challenges of seeking to tailor the Management Agreement breakpoints to those of a subadvisory agreement in this context.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

The Fund is currently managed by four independent money management firms, and each invests a portion of the portfolio’s assets. As of August 31, 2023, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (Loomis Sayles), PGIM, Inc. (PGIM), TCW Investment Management Company LLC (TCW) and Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (Voya) managed 20.6%, 27.1%, 26.7% and 25.6% of the portfolio, respectively.

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Institutional Class shares of Multi-Manager Total Return Bond Strategies Fund returned -0.87%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -1.19%.

Market overview

Fixed-income markets recovered in late 2022 and into the beginning of 2023 before giving back performance in the wake of regional bank failure. The period was largely marked by an overhang of uncertainty and economic negatives, including interest rate volatility and COVID-era supply/demand imbalances. Steep losses that predominated during the first half of the period showed signs of dissipating in the second half of the period. Despite a series of rolling crises including a string of regional bank failures, the debt ceiling debate, ongoing recession concerns, and still high inflation, the U.S. economy avoided the worst of potential outcomes and fixed-income returns skewed largely positive over the last six months of the period.

Against the backdrop of historic lows in unemployment and still high inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continued on its monetary tightening path, raising interest rates by an additional 300 basis points (bps) in a succession of rate hikes over the reporting period. Although the Fed raised interest rates by 25 bps and indicated that its inflation fight is not yet over, the main signal from the July Federal Open Market Committee meeting was that the end of the rate hiking cycle was likely close.

A sharply higher federal funds target rate, coupled with macroeconomic uncertainty, led to enormous volatility being priced into developed market interest rates, with sharply higher front-end rates and lower long-dated yields. From -0.30% on August 31, 2022, the U.S. 10-year/2-year Treasury spread declined to -0.76% as of August 31, 2023, while the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield rose by 140 bps to end the period at 4.85%.

Despite elevated volatility, U.S. investment-grade corporate spreads tightened over the period as expectations for an economic hard landing moderated and fundamentals remained solid. U.S. high-yield bonds posted gains over the reporting period amid limited new issuance, resilient economic data and an ongoing supply deficit. Securitized credit spreads were mixed, with high-quality collateralized loan obligation (CLO) spreads tightening over the period and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) spreads widening as the commercial real estate sector remained challenged. After posting steep losses in 2022, the emerging markets sector posted positive total returns and spreads tightened through the first part of 2023 as headwinds turned to tailwinds. Meanwhile, agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) underperformed versus U.S. Treasuries over the period as elevated interest-rate volatility weighed on the sector over the first half of the period.

Loomis Sayles

Our portion of the Fund outperformed the benchmark during the period.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Sector allocation generated the greatest positive contribution to excess return in our portion of the Fund. In general, being tilted into risk sectors positively impacted excess return during this period. Our portion of the Fund continued to be underweighted in government securities, including U.S. Treasuries, and overweight in corporate bonds.
•	Our overweight to the investment-grade corporate asset class proved beneficial, as investment-grade spreads tightened and the sector outperformed. Within the sector, holdings of securities in the banking, capital goods and consumer cyclical names bolstered performance.
•	Securitized credit provided additional contribution, as consumer related asset-backed securities (ABS) and non-agency CMBS were favorable contributors to excess return.
•	The portfolio continues to keep duration positioning fairly in line with the benchmark, so while interest rates increased during the period, the impact on relative returns was muted.

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Although our portion of the Fund was underweight to the government-related asset classes, security selection within governments was negative.
•	Specifically, within agency pass-throughs, underweights to Ginnie Maes detracted, as Ginnie Maes outperformed Fannie Maes, and underweights to the lower end of the coupon stack detracted as lower coupons outperformed higher coupons.
•	Industry and issue selection weighed on excess return.
•	Agency CMBS and collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) exposures also contributed to negative excess returns, as did a slight overweight to real estate investment trusts (REITs).

PGIM

Our portion of the Fund outperformed the benchmark during the period.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Overall sector allocation contributed to performance in our portion of the Fund.
•	Overweights to high yield and CLOs, along with an underweight to MBS, added to performance.
•	Overall security selection was also positive for the period. Positioning in investment-grade corporates and CLOs was positive.
•	Within credit, positioning in foreign non-corporate and banking added to performance.
•	Our yield curve positioning contributed as rates sold off and the curve flattened.
•	Overweight positions in JPMorgan, Bausch Health Companies and Citigroup were positive.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	An underweight to the agency sector slightly detracted from results in our portion of the Fund.
•	Positioning within U.S. Treasuries weighed on performance.
•	Within credit, positioning in media and entertainment and cable and satellite detracted from performance during the period.
•	A slightly short duration position in U.S. rates for most of the period limited results relative to the benchmark.
•	With regard to specific issuers, overweight positions in Sinclair Television Group and Digicel Group hurt performance.

TCW

Our portion of the Fund underperformed the benchmark during the period.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Detracting from both absolute and relative performance was duration positioning in our portion of the portfolio. Duration remained longer than the benchmark throughout the period while also extending as U.S. Treasury yields continued to rise. Given both the magnitude and pace of the Fed’s rate hiking cycle, this duration positioning was the largest headwind to returns during the period.
•	A yield curve-steepening bias also detracted, given the sustained overweight to the front-end of the curve, where rates increased by 137 bps. Consistent with both a value-based approach and in recognition that an inverted yield curve is

Multi-Manager Total Return Bond Strategies Fund | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

	not a long-term equilibrium condition, our portion of the portfolio increased its overweight to the 2-year key rate duration, which negatively impacted returns during the period. Informing this positioning is our belief that current U.S. Treasury rates are above long-term equilibrium levels, and that an eventual pivot in Fed policy may lead to a steepening of the curve.
•	The sustained overweight to agency MBS exposure weighed on returns, given the sector’s underperformance during the year relative to both U.S. Treasuries and corporates.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Portfolio performance benefited from an overweight to corporate credit throughout the majority of the period, given the significant amount of yield spread tightening among corporates (both investment grade and high yield), which resulted in outperformance relative to comparable U.S. Treasuries during the period. Despite a modest trimming of the position in recent months to a relative underweight on improved valuations, exposure to this high-performing asset class contributed to returns during period.
•	An emphasis on more defensive sectors, including the communications and non-cyclicals sectors, was positive as these sectors outperformed the broader corporate universe.
•	Issuer selection among more defensive sectors was also favorable, including in pharmaceuticals, food/beverage and wireless names.
•	The largest contributor to returns, however, was issue selection among banking holdings, owing to a combination of outperformance from senior bonds of U.S. global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) amid the volatility in March, and relative value trading in names that experienced outsized volatility, whereby positions that were built at substantial discounts quickly appreciated to trade at a premium.

Voya

Our portion of the Fund outperformed the benchmark during the period.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Our overweight in high-yield securities added most to performance, followed by security selection in agency mortgages where we source CMOs and investment-grade corporates where we favor BBB financials.
•	Our overweight to non-agency residential MBS and security selection in ABS (primarily high-quality CLOs) also contributed positively.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Our overweight to CMBS modestly detracted as the sector continued to struggle to receive financing amid higher rates.
•	In aggregate, duration and yield curve positioning detracted during the period as the yield curve increased its inversion. However, positive security selection within U.S. Treasuries, which reflects our overall strategy, helped to mute this impact.

Derivatives usage in the Fund

Each of the subadvisors used derivative instruments during the period to manage duration and yield curve positioning. Taken on a stand-alone basis, the usage of these derivatives had a negative impact on overall Fund performance.

opportunities and potential returns. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks that subject the Fund to significant loss potential, including when used as leverage, and may result in greater fluctuation in fund value. The Fund is managed by multiple advisers independently of one another, which may result in contradicting trades (i.e., with no net benefit to the Fund), while increasing transaction costs. Market or other (e.g., interest rate) environments may adversely affect the liquidity of fund investments, negatively impacting their price. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a holding, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

(s)	Represents a security purchased on a forward commitment basis.
(t)	Represents a variable rate security where the coupon adjusts periodically through an auction process.
(u)	The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at August 31, 2023 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily determined either weekly, monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period. These base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR and other short-term rates. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or minimum rate. The interest rate for senior loans purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis will be determined upon settlement, therefore no interest rate is disclosed. Senior loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities. Generally, the Fund is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(v)	This security or a portion of this security has been pledged as collateral in connection with derivative contracts.
(w)	The rate shown is the seven-day current annualized yield at August 31, 2023.

Fair value measurements

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Portfolio of Investments (continued)
August 31, 2023

Fair value measurements (continued)
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these 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 Investment Manager. 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.

The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at August 31, 2023:

Note 1. Organization

Multi-Manager Total Return Bond Strategies Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Fund shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund is offered only through certain wrap fee programs sponsored and/or managed by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial) or its affiliates. The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which are not subject to any front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

Senior loan securities for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued by pricing services at the average of the bids received.

96	Multi-Manager Total Return Bond Strategies Fund \| Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

rates are determined at the scheduled closing time of the New York Stock Exchange. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy approved by the Board of Trustees. Under the policy, the Fund may utilize a third-party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third-party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars and to shift investment exposure from one currency to another. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.

The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate daily with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed or expires. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without delivery of foreign currency.

The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts

Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates, to manage exposure to the securities market and to hedge against market volatility. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Swap contracts

contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Credit default swap contracts

The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index, to increase or decrease its credit exposure to a specific debt security or a basket of debt securities, as a protection buyer, to reduce overall credit exposure and to manage credit risk exposure. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are transactions in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are typically bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.

Interest rate and inflation rate swap contracts

The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions and/or inflation rate swap contracts to produce incremental earnings, to manage interest rate and market risk exposure to produce incremental earnings, to gain exposure to or protect itself from market rate changes and to hedge the portfolio risk associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap or inflation rate swap, as applicable, is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.

Interest rate swaps are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.

Asset- and mortgage-backed securities

Delayed delivery securities

To be announced securities

Forward sale commitments

The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. While a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date are used to satisfy the commitment.

Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation” above. The forward sale commitment is “marked-to-market” daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

Mortgage dollar roll transactions

Table of Contents

investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price, or that the counterparty may default on its obligations. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.

Treasury inflation protected securities

The Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.

Interest only and principal only securities

The Fund may invest in Interest Only (IO) or Principal Only (PO) securities. IOs are stripped securities entitled to receive all of the security’s interest, but none of its principal. IOs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price than typical interest bearing debt securities. IOs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of the interest payments if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income in the Statement of Operations. Because no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a monthly basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income in the Statement of Operations. POs are stripped securities entitled to receive the principal from the underlying obligation, but not the interest. POs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore are subject to fluctuations in price. POs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. The Fund may also invest in IO or PO stripped mortgage-backed securities. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Investment Manager is responsible for the ultimate oversight of investments made by the Fund. The Fund’s subadvisers (see Subadvisory agreements below) have the primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.50% to 0.34% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended August 31, 2023 was 0.44% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

quality of underlying assets. Payment of principal and interest on some mortgage-backed securities (but not the market value of the securities themselves) may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of a particular U.S. Government agency, authority, enterprise or instrumentality, and some, but not all, are also insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers) may entail greater risk than obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities are subject to liquidity risk and prepayment risk. A decline or flattening of housing values may cause delinquencies in mortgages (especially sub-prime or non-prime mortgages) underlying mortgage-backed securities and thereby adversely affect the ability of the mortgage-backed securities issuer to make principal and/or interest payments to mortgage-backed securities holders, including the Fund. Rising or high interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, making their prices more volatile and more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement Amendment

(Unaudited)

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Multi-Manager Total Return Bond Strategies Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds). In addition, under the subadvisory agreements (the Subadvisory Agreements) between the Investment Manager and each of Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., PGIM, Inc., TCW Investment Management Company LLC and Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (collectively, the Subadvisers), the Subadvisers provide portfolio management and related services for the Fund.

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (together, the Advisory Agreements). The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in February, March, April, May and June 2023, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by a third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses by the Investment Manager to written requests for information by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel), to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance.

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2022 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2023. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

Investment performance

The Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (iii) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that Fund performance was well within the range of that of its peers.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of subadvisory fees paid to each Subadviser, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board also reviewed advisory fee rates charged by other comparable mutual funds employing each Subadviser. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements were negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2022 had declined from 2021 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the decreased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to

offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed.The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also noted that the breakpoints in the Subadvisory Agreements did not occur at the same levels as the breakpoints in the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Board noted the potential challenges of seeking to tailor the Management Agreement breakpoints to those of a subadvisory agreement in this context.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund returned 28.98% excluding sales charges. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Global 1200 Information Technology Index (Net) returned 30.65%.

Market overview

Global equity markets delivered outsized gains during the one-year period ending August 31, 2023 and bounced back after 2022 proved challenging. Macro pressures weighed on the market to start the year-long period, as they did at the end, and equities sold off during both periods. However, the market did advance steadily in the interim as macro pressures eased and the last remaining pockets of the world broadly re-opened following the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, China abandoned its zero-COVID policy to start 2023, allowing for activity to begin to normalize after the prolonged period of rolling lockdowns across much of the country. Europe benefited from falling inflation, particularly in Italy and Spain, and warm weather during the winter allayed concerns of energy shortages resulting from the loss of Russian supplies after the invasion of Ukraine. The consumer recovered and business confidence strengthened in Asia Pacific. Fluctuations in the US dollar, which had eroded returns significantly for U.S. investors over the previous 12-month period, proved favorable and also provided a boost.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	Areas that detracted most from Fund performance during the period included certain positions in the software, cyber-security and payments and ecommerce industries.
•	The largest individual detractors during the period included Fund holdings in Tesla, Inc., Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., Atlassian Corp., CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. and PayPal Holdings, Inc.
•	The market fretted over Tesla’s ability to execute during the period, especially considering the potential for increased managerial distraction following CEO Elon Musk’s acquisition of social media giant Twitter and his involvement with several other disruptive technology start-ups. Separately, Tesla offered price discounts to customers in key growth market China and combatted persistent supply chain problems which weighed on production and the ability to procure import components such as electronic batteries. Despite the short-term frustration, the company’s new innovative factories could represent a competitive advantage once fully ramped, especially as AI is further integrated into the production process.
•	Shares of Fidelity National Information Services declined as macro pressures and increasing challenges at its key Merchant segment led to a forward outlook that fell short of market expectations. The stock’s underperformance during the period can also be attributed to fears of potential contagion effects that arose from the regional US banking crisis early in 2023.
•	Shares of Atlassian dropped during the period after the company reported a slew of underwhelming quarterly earnings. Most reported metrics fell below elevated market expectations. The company remains a leader in the continuous software development industry, and strong product leadership makes the company a must-have platform for IT departments and business support teams.
•	Shares of leading artificial intelligence cybersecurity company CrowdStrike Holdings underperformed. The company reported new customer subscription levels that came in below expectations, due in part to elongating customer buying

cycles that remained persistent. The company, still in hyper-growth mode, has executed well with impressive product innovation, and is among the most desirable offerings in the industry to combat the ever-increasing threat of cybersecurity attacks.

•

Despite holding an investor event where the company laid out a roadmap for product enhancements, the stock of PayPal Holdings languished during the period as execution risk remained substantial. Increased competitive intensity weighed on the company’s ability to gain market share at checkout and served as an overhang on the stock. The company has since named a new CEO which could represent an opportunity to provide a reinvigorated strategic direction.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	The largest contributor to Fund performance came from the Fund’s holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industry. Fund holdings within the software, technology hardware, and interactive media industries also contributed notably to Fund results during the period.
•	The top absolute contributors to Fund performance included NVIDIA, Microsoft Corp., Broadcom, Inc., Lam Research Corp. and Apple, Inc.
•	Shares of leading semiconductor provider NVIDIA continued its years-long ascension as the market further appreciated the company’s near open-ended growth story. NVIDIA provides innovative semiconductors used to power the most advanced and compute-intensive workloads, including for AI. The company reported superlative quarterly results during the period, smashing market expectations and dazzling investors with very strong demand trends.
•	Microsoft grabbed investor attention as a result of its association with start-up OpenAI. OpenAI released the wildly popular ChatGPT, an LLM chatbot that took the world by storm after its release at the end of 2022. Strong quarterly earnings results and bullish commentary about all things AI established Microsoft as one of the leading AI trend setters of the 21st century. The company’s dominant position in cloud computing further strengthens its competitive advantage in AI, which will be integrated throughout its sprawling enterprise and consumer portfolio and change how the world works and lives.
•	Broadcom reported strong quarterly results and its management guided to an accelerating revenue profile, driven by contract wins for its custom silicon offerings for AI. In addition to the emerging AI story and the company’s history of consolidating the market, shares of Broadcom also benefited from favorable shareholder capital returns in the form of increased share buybacks and strong dividend growth.
•	Semiconductor capital equipment company Lam Research outperformed during the period, as the company provided reassuring commentary related to its ability to take market share while generating strong cash flow — the majority of which is to be returned to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
•	Apple performed well during the period as it became the first publicly traded company to exceed $3 trillion in equity value. Apple’s thriving app ecosystem and nearly $100 billion in annualized services revenue have strengthened the company’s already formidable competitive moat and offers the potential for accelerating high-margin revenue growth.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The products of technology companies may be subject to severe competition and rapid obsolescence, and technology stocks may be subject to greater price fluctuations. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, late-year ordinary losses, trustees’ deferred compensation, foreign currency transactions, net operating loss reclassification and earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
6,605,330	(3,552,176)	(3,053,154)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
—	60,400,384	60,400,384	34,587,710	97,937,154	132,524,864

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
—	39,892,446	—	1,669,609,590

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
816,773,931	1,694,372,704	(24,763,114)	1,669,609,590

Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. As of August 31, 2023, the Fund will elect to treat the following late-year ordinary losses and post-October capital losses as arising on September 1, 2023.

Late year ordinary losses ($)	Post-October capital losses ($)

participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Information technology sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the information technology sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the information technology sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many information technology sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term. Some companies in the information technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action, which could negatively impact the value of their securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Global Technology Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and the broker; when replies were not received from the broker, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed.The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia International Dividend Income Fund returned 16.17% excluding sales charges. The Fund’s benchmark, the unmanaged MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), returned 11.89% for the same period. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Value Index (Net), returned 14.61%.

Market overview

Entering the period, global equities were supported by signs of slower inflation along with a slightly less restrictive policy trajectory from leading global central banks, most notably the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and European Central Bank. In addition, Europe’s efforts to stockpile and reduce consumption of natural gas proved more successful than expected, helping to ease the region’s energy crisis stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As 2022 drew to a close, the Chinese government began to unwind its zero-COVID policy which had put a damper on global economic activity, further boosting sentiment.

International equities opened 2023 on a strong note, reflecting hopes that central banks were largely finished raising interest rates. In addition, a string of better-than-expected economic data points fueled optimism that the United States may be able to avoid a recession. However, the investment backdrop soon grew more challenging, with persistent inflation fueling concerns that leading central banks would feel compelled to continue hiking rates. In March, the failure of several U.S. banks along with the collapse of European financial giant Credit Suisse spurred fears of a banking crisis similar to that seen in 2008-2009. The Fed responded by instituting a special lending facility to support bank liquidity, and at its March 2023 meeting increased the target for its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter-point. The rate hike was generally interpreted by markets as signaling that the Fed viewed the financial system as remaining on sound footing.

As the period progressed, declining inflation data led investors to expect central bank tightening to end at some point in 2023. In addition, surprisingly resilient global growth raised hopes that the world economy would experience a soft landing rather than a recession. As a result, most global stock indices finished the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023 with meaningful gains. China’s equity market was a notable exception as the economic recovery there has remained weaker than expected despite the government’s easing of restrictions on activity.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	Positive contributions to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark over the period were driven by security selection while sector allocation detracted modestly.
•	Selection within consumer discretionary led positive contributions to relative performance.

○

In this vein, Spanish multinational apparel company Inditex, best known for the Zara fashion brand, is the largest “fast fashion” company in the world. Despite post-pandemic supply chain challenges, Inditex has continued to successfully execute the production of hundreds of millions of garments annually in response to the latest consumer preferences and deliver them weekly to thousands of stores around the world.

○

Athletic apparel company Adidas was another significant contributor. Sentiment with respect to the stock was boosted by optimism over a new CEO who previously drove a turnaround at Puma and a shift in its marketing strategy to reemphasize wholesale distribution. In addition, the company has moved past the inventory overhang created by its severing of ties with a prominent musician, is rolling out innovative new athletic shoe models and is seeing strong consumer demand around the globe for some of its classic shoes.

•

Within financials, positive contributions were highlighted by French multinational bank BNP Paribas. In February, BNP Paribas strengthened its financial position and ability to make future strategic acquisitions with the well-timed sale of a large U.S. regional bank. The bank also posted quarterly results that exceeded expectations during the period.

•

Another leading contributor was 3i, a British private equity business with a stable of portfolio companies. The company’s most notable holding is Dutch-French value retail chain Action, with more than 2000 stores located across Europe. A “non-food discounter,” Action has thrived by offering a changing variety of thousands of products while managing procurement costs to keep prices low under the credo “more than you expect for less than you imagine". We took advantage of stock price strength to exit our position in private equity firm 3i.

•

Within utilities, E.ON led contributions as the German multinational electric utility was able to get through the winter without a major disruption in natural gas supplies. The stock price was also supported during the period by an improved outlook with respect to the rate of return regulations under which German utilities operate. Longer term, the company is viewed as well-positioned to benefit from investments in clean energy under the European Union’s Green Deal initiative.

•

In country terms, the Fund’s underweight to China was a significant positive contributor, more than offsetting the negative impact of an overweight to Hong Kong.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	In sector terms, selection within energy was the only material detractor from relative performance.

○	Most notably, Canada-based TC Energy develops and operates energy infrastructure in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Results for the company’s pipeline business were negatively impacted during the period by the unexpected weakness in natural gas prices.
○	Similarly, sentiment with respect to shares of the Norway-headquartered exploration and production company Equinor softened along with natural gas prices.

2,741,069	(2,741,069)	—

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia International Dividend Income Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia International Dividend Income Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Returns for Class A shares are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%. Returns for Class C shares are shown with and without the 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year only. The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each share class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

The Fund’s performance prior to August 29, 2014 reflects returns achieved pursuant to different principal investment strategies. If the Fund’s current strategies had been in place for the prior periods, results shown may have been different.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Strategic Income Fund returned 1.56% excluding sales charges. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -1.19% for the same period.

Market overview

During the annual period, the Fund’s benchmark, which measures the broad U.S. investment-grade bond market, produced negative returns, spurred by persistently sticky inflation, which, in turn, emboldened an already hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed).

All told, yields rose across the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was up 94 basis points during the annual period. Throughout, the two-year to 10-year portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve remained inverted, meaning 10-year U.S. Treasury yields were lower than two-year U.S. Treasury yields, historically a foreshadow of a recession. In fact, the U.S. Treasury yield curve briefly touched some of its most inverted levels since the early 1980s in July 2023 before steepening just a bit. Globally, the scenario was similar, with government bond yields moving higher as most global central banks, both of developed and emerging markets, continued to tighten monetary policy through most of the annual period, moving to pausing cycles as inflation figures started to edge lower.

The Fund experienced increased portfolio turnover during the period, as compared to the previous reporting period, due to increased trading as a result of elevated market volatility.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	Relative to the benchmark, the Fund’s exposure to credit across the quality spectrum boosted its results most, as both investment-grade and high-yield credit sectors outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries during the annual period.
•	Allocations to several sectors that are not components of the benchmark, including non-agency mortgage-backed securities, high-yield corporate credit and floating rate loans, generated significant added value, each outperforming the benchmark during the annual period.
•	Security selection among investment-grade corporate bonds contributed positively to relative results.

○	Selection was especially beneficial in April 2023 amid the fallout of the regional banking crisis. For example, ahead of the Silicon Valley Bank failure, the Fund had no exposure at all to what we deemed to be higher risk regional banks due to their relative valuation versus the larger domestic investment banks.
○	Overweighted positions in industrials- and utilities-related investment-grade corporate bonds, which meaningfully outperformed financials-related issues within the sector, proved particularly prudent as well.

•	The Fund’s duration positioning contributed positively to its relative performance.

○	The Fund held a shorter duration stance than that of the benchmark during an annual period when interest rates rose.
○	The Fund’s duration was actively adjusted throughout the annual period but averaged a duration of approximately 1.25 years shorter than that of the benchmark.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	Having an overweighted allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities detracted from the Fund’s relative results, as this sector underperformed the benchmark during the annual period. However, the effect of such positioning was mitigated by a focus on higher coupons, which outpaced lower coupons.
•	Similarly, exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities dampened the Fund’s relative results, as the sector performed weakly during the annual period.

Derivatives usage

The Fund utilized derivatives as a means to hedge exposures to better balance risks among four risk factors: credit, duration, currency and inflation. We used U.S. Treasury futures, interest rate swaps and options on interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure, i.e., to express a shorter-than-benchmark duration stance. We also used credit default swap indices and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBX) indices to hedge and express investment views in the high-yield corporate credit and commercial mortgage-backed securities bond markets, respectively. On a stand-alone basis, these derivatives had a negative impact on Fund performance during the period.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments

(a)	Represents privately placed and other securities and instruments exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission registration (collectively, private placements), such as Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A eligible securities, which are often sold only to qualified institutional buyers. At August 31, 2023, the total value of these securities amounted to $2,499,531,717, which represents 49.85% of total net assets.
(b)	Variable rate security. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(c)	Valuation based on significant unobservable inputs.
(d)	Variable or floating rate security, the interest rate of which adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(e)	Non-income producing investment.
(f)	Principal amounts are denominated in United States Dollars unless otherwise noted.
(g)	Payment-in-kind security. Interest can be paid by issuing additional par of the security or in cash.
(h)	Represents a variable rate security with a step coupon where the rate adjusts according to a schedule for a series of periods, typically lower for an initial period and then increasing to a higher coupon rate thereafter. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(i)	Principal and interest may not be guaranteed by a governmental entity.
(j)	Represents interest only securities which have the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans.
(k)	Represents a security purchased on a when-issued basis.
(l)	Represents fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. At August 31, 2023, the total value of these securities amounted to $878,421, which represents 0.02% of total net assets.
(m)	The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at August 31, 2023 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily determined either weekly, monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period. These base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR and other short-term rates. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or minimum rate. The interest rate for senior loans purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis will be determined upon settlement, therefore no interest rate is disclosed. Senior loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities. Generally, the Fund is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(n)	Represents a security in default.
(o)	Represents a security purchased on a forward commitment basis.
(p)	The borrower filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Code.
(q)	The rate shown is the seven-day current annualized yield at August 31, 2023.

Fair value measurements

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

(a) Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) relating to securities held at August 31, 2023 was $(2,285,215), which is comprised of Asset-Backed Securities — Non-Agency of $29,620, Common Stocks of $(9,529), Convertible Preferred Stocks of $(67,398), Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities — Non-Agency of $(1,099,699) and Senior Loans of $(1,138,209).

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances.

Certain common stocks, residential mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, convertible preferred stocks and senior loans classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, single market quotations from broker dealers and the estimates of future distributions from the company. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, manual price reviews and other control procedures. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Financial assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to utilizing a single market quotation from a broker dealer. As a result, management concluded that the market input(s) were generally unobservable.

Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management determined that there was sufficient, reliable, and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

60	Columbia Strategic Income Fund \| Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Senior loan securities for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued by pricing services at the average of the bids received.

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.

Option contracts are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on their primary exchanges. Option contracts, including over-the-counter option contracts, with no readily available market quotations are valued using mid-market evaluations from independent third-party vendors.

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.

broker or receive interest income on cash collateral pledged to the broker. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Futures contracts

Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Options contracts

Columbia Strategic Income Fund | Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

purposes in future periods. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market depends upon the performance of the other party. Collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure over-the-counter option contract trades. Collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the broker or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.

Options contracts purchased are recorded as investments. When the Fund writes an options contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option written. Changes in the fair value of the written option are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when the option contract is closed or expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

For over-the-counter options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Option contracts written by the Fund do not typically give rise to significant counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform. The risk in writing a call option contract is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the strike price and the option contract is exercised. The risk in writing a put option contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases below the strike price and the option contract is exercised. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing or selling a security or foreign currency when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value. In purchasing and writing options, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market.

Interest rate swaption contracts

Interest rate swaption contracts entered into by the Fund typically represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap contract on a future date. Each interest rate swaption contract will specify if the buyer is entitled to receive the fixed or floating rate if the interest rate is exercised. Changes in the value of a purchased interest rate swaption contracts are reported as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on options in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations when the interest rate swaption contract is closed or expires.

When the Fund writes an interest rate swaption contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the interest rate swaption contract written. Premiums received from writing interest rate swaption contracts that expire unexercised are recorded by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from options written in the Statement of Operations. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also recorded as realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as realized loss. These amounts are reflected as net realized gain (loss) on options written in the Statement of Operations.

Swap contracts

August 31, 2023

Credit default swap contracts

The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are transactions in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are typically bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.

Interest rate and inflation rate swap contracts

The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions and/or inflation rate swap contracts to manage duration and yield curve exposure. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap or inflation rate swap, as applicable, is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.

Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, derivative investments, swap investments, tax straddles, investments in partnerships and/or grantor trusts, principal and/or interest from fixed income securities, defaulted securities/troubled debt, capital loss carryforwards, trustees’ deferred compensation, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, foreign capital gains tax and miscellaneous adjustments. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
(19,442,683)	19,442,684	(1)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
254,067,844	—	254,067,844	243,209,871	44,875,536	288,085,407

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized (depreciation) ($)
10,075,762	—	(541,037,926)	(382,357,158)

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized (depreciation) ($)
6,487,732,934	37,567,278	(419,924,436)	(382,357,158)

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Fund reorganization

At the close of business on December 10, 2021, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of BMO Strategic Income Fund (the Acquired Fund), a series of BMO Funds Inc. The reorganization was completed after shareholders of the Acquired Fund approved a plan of reorganization at a shareholder meeting held on November 23, 2021. The purpose of the reorganization was to combine two funds with comparable investment objectives and strategies.

The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the reorganization were $6,878,447,698 and the combined net assets immediately after the reorganization were $6,990,663,256.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 11,715,409 shares of the Acquired Fund valued at $112,215,558 (including $348,590 of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)).

In exchange for the Acquired Fund’s shares, the Fund issued the following number of shares:

	Shares
Class A	2,720,908
Advisor Class	1,900,358

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the Acquired Fund’s cost of investments was carried forward.

The Fund’s financial statements reflect both the operations of the Fund for the period prior to the reorganization and the combined Fund for the period subsequent to the reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the combined Fund’s Statement of Operations since the reorganization was completed.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2021, the Fund’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2022 would have been approximately:

	($)
Net investment income	226,993,000
Net realized loss	(190,398,000)
Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	(705,646,000)
Net decrease in net assets from operations	(669,051,000)

Note 10. Significant risks

Credit risk

Derivatives risk

High-yield investments risk

Securities and other debt instruments held by the Fund that are rated below investment grade (commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds) and unrated debt instruments of comparable quality expose the Fund to a greater risk of loss of principal and income than a fund that invests solely or primarily in investment grade debt instruments. In addition, these investments have greater price fluctuations, are less liquid and are more likely to experience a default than higher-rated debt instruments. High-yield debt instruments are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

Interest rate risk

Liquidity risk

Market risk

financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities risk

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, affiliated shareholders of record owned 24.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund returned 16.25% excluding sales charges. The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 6.78% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the broader small-cap market, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 4.65% during the period.

Market overview

Markets advanced over the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, amidst conflicting economic data that kept investors focused on the path of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes and the debate over a soft versus hard economic landing. After a dismal first half in 2022, U.S. markets showed signs of optimism in the second half of the year, as oil prices rolled over from their June highs and investors got more hopeful over a slowing in the Fed’s interest rate raising trajectory. Company earnings, consumer spending and the jobs market showed resilience despite historically high inflation numbers and the stubbornly persisting prospects of an impending recession kept being pushed out further into the future. Geopolitical concerns also helped to fuel investor uncertainty as the Russia-Ukraine conflict continued. Coming into 2023, markets rebounded on renewed hope of a Fed pivot in interest rates, which led to many oversold companies picking up steam. In March 2023, the sudden failure of two large US banks led to a major sell-off in the financial sector, making investors jittery about the U.S. financial system. However, government measures contained any prolonged contagion from the banking crisis. As the first half of 2023 progressed, the gains in the market were largely a reflection of a handful of highly valued mega cap tech focused companies poised to benefit from advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in generative AI and large language models. Towards the end of the period however, markets pulled back in an environment of rating agency downgrades of U.S. debt, signs of depletion in U.S. household savings and slowing economic data out of China.

The Fed raised interest rates seven times between September 2022 and August 2023, bringing the target rate up from a range of 2.25%-2.50% to 5.25%-5.50% by August 31, 2023. Annual inflation, as measured by Consumer Price Index, was 3.7% in August, much lower than its June 2022 peak of 9.1% but still well above the Fed’s 2% target rate. The labor market stayed resilient, with the unemployment rate staying at 3.7%, while personal spending increased 3.3% from last year.

Consumer staples, energy, information technology and industrials have been the best performing sectors in the benchmark. While consumer staples have been driven up by household and personal products, the energy sector was helped mostly by energy equipment and services names. Technology hardware names drove gains in the information technology sector. Capital goods names, especially among building products, construction, and engineering, drove gains in the industrials sector. Four out of the ten sectors ended in the red: utilities, real estate, communication services and health care.

The Fund experienced increased turnover during the reporting period, largely a result of elevated market volatility during the period.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	Stock selection within the industrials sector was the single biggest contributor during the period. Also contributing was selection among food and beverage names in the consumer staples sector. Holdings among health care and communication services names worked well.
•	The Fund’s overweight to industrials and health care and underweight to energy and utilities also worked favorably.
•	Vertiv Holdings Inc. operates as a holding company that provides digital equipment, services, and solutions to data centers, through its subsidiaries. The company had strong revenues and sales growth during the period. We believe that this was driven by the demand and growth acceleration potential in data center infrastructure necessary to meet the rapidly growing market for computing capacity, which is being propelled by the rapid advances in the field of AI.
•	Axon Enterprise Inc. is the sole provider of Tasers and market leading provider of law enforcement technology including body and vehicle cameras. They have leveraged their position in Tasers to expand deeper into the law enforcement space (cloud-based software for evidence-management, virtual de-escalation training, records management systems and computer-aided dispatch). Their monopolistic position and expansions into judiciary, corrections, federal agencies, etc., has expanded their market. Law enforcement budgets have been stable, giving Axon the advantage of consistent

(Unaudited)

demand strength. During the period, revenue certainty along with international contract wins and strong revenue forecasts helped to separate them from an uncertain and challenging macro environment. We sold the Fund’s position in Axon before the close of the reporting period.

•

FTAI Aviation Ltd is an aerospace company that owns and maintains commercial jet engines. It has exclusive agreements with three aircraft manufacturers to repair aircraft engines and lease aircraft to the airlines while repairs are underway. The airline industry has durable demand characteristics with supply and demand for aircrafts favorable for manufacturers, coupled with the constant requirement to have airplanes running and repaired. We believe that the exclusivity of the company’s agreements with the manufacturers is an added advantage, all allowing for high and consistent returns.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	Some selections in the financials and materials sector were unfavorable.
•	The Fund’s underweight to consumer staples also had a slightly negative impact.
•	Advanced Drainage Systems is a company that designs, manufactures, and markets drainage products (it is the largest maker of high-density polyethylene pipes in the country) and provides services that deliver solutions for the most persistent and challenging water management problems. After doing well initially during the period, the stock suffered multiple contractions as management had to lower guidance due to inventory challenges that delayed purchases and hurt outlook.
•	Five9 Inc. (Five9) is a leader in cloud contact center software that offers real-time and historical reporting, recording, quality monitoring, workforce, and customer relationship management integrations. Investor sentiment toward this name was impacted by its prospects in an environment of AI dominance. AI’s large language models have the ability to accurately answer a significant amount of customer questions. Five9 has a seat-based model which leaves its human seats vulnerable to replacement by AI seats which would worsen its total addressable market and growth rates.
•	Paylocity Holding Corp. provides cloud-based payroll and human capital management software, including time and attendance, benefits, hiring, retirement, and everything in between. Despite strong initial performance in the period, towards the end of 2022, the company gave back some gains as it got expensive in the run-up and as investors sold out on winners.
•	The Fund no longer holds positions in Advanced Drainage Systems, Five9 and Paylocity Holding Corp.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Investments in small-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. The Fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, late-year ordinary losses, capital loss carryforwards, trustees’ deferred compensation, net operating loss reclassification and miscellaneous adjustments. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
14,371,041	36,646	(14,407,687)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
—	—	—	88,786,002	188,032,858	276,818,860

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
—	—	(440,117,055)	230,685,741

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
1,550,648,465	320,553,612	(89,867,871)	230,685,741

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

No expiration short-term ($)	No expiration long-term ($)	Total ($)	Utilized ($)

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Health care sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the health care sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the health care sector are subject to certain risks, including restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, government approval of medical products and services, competitive pricing pressures, and the rising cost of medical products and services (especially for companies dependent upon a relatively limited number of products or services). Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including government regulation, obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so), product liability and other similar litigation as well as product obsolescence.

Industrials sector risk

Market risk

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, affiliated shareholders of record owned 23.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager

Investment performance

The Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (iii) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed the Fund’s underperformance for certain periods, noting that appropriate steps (such as changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team) had been taken to help improve the Fund’s performance.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally, and the Investment Manager’s willingness to take steps intended to improve performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

The Fund is currently managed by four independent money management firms and each invests a portion of the portfolio’s assets. As of August 31, 2023, AlphaSimplex Group, LLC (AlphaSimplex), Crabel Capital Management, LLC (Crabel), Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (Manulife) and TCW Investment Management Company, LLC (TCW) managed approximately 15%, 15%, 30%, and 40% of the portfolio, respectively. Water Island Capital,LLC (Water Island) managed a portion of the Fund’s assets during the reporting period, but was terminated as a subadviser to the Fund, effective August 25, 2023.

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Institutional Class shares of Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Fund returned 1.14%. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, returned 4.44%.

Market overview

During the period of September 2022 through August 2023, inflation was the strongest theme in global markets. Although core inflation was persistent over the period, markets cycled between periods of risk-on and risk-off sentiment, leading to corrections in various markets.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) initiated its aggressive tightening measures in March 2022. Over the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, volatility mounted as the Fed took the federal funds target rate from 2.5% to 5.5%. Momentum early in the period gave way to a more measured pace (25 basis points (bps) at each meeting in 2023 through August, with the exception of a pause in June). Policy tightening continued even as the global banking system became enveloped in volatility in March 2023 with three U.S. banks and one European bank collapsing. This persistence, not only by the Fed, but by central banks globally, was driven by massive inflation, and was given cover by resilient employment and economic growth. Data later in the period, however, revealed cracks in the ongoing narratives of a robust labor market and consumer resilience, dispelling the growing notion of a “soft landing”.

In this environment, bond yields generally moved higher globally, putting downward pressure on bond prices. Short-term yields rose the most, reflecting interest rate hikes and resulting in a deeper inversion of the yield curve (where short-term bond yields are higher than long-term bond yields). Performance was mixed, with government bonds in the U.S. and eurozone along with mortgage-backed securities (MBS) declining the most, while risk assets such as high-yield corporates and equities, held up best.

While returns for the broader credit market were generally unimpressive, equities nonetheless seemed to deliver strong gains in the first half of 2023. Upon closer inspection, it appeared much of the performance was generated by a handful of mega-cap heavy hitters, and it was accompanied by a healthy dose of volatility along the way.

In this environment, the landscape for event-driven investing has also faced heightened volatility. Antitrust regulators around the globe have attempted to block several large mergers and acquisitions transactions, in turn driving correlated volatility in deal spreads throughout the investment universe.

AlphaSimplex

Our portion of the Fund is compared to the SG Trend Index, which underperformed over the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023. Our strategy is designed to emphasize absolute risk and return and, as such, is not managed relative to a benchmark. The SG Trend Index, which reflects a peer group of diversified, primarily trend-following investment managers, may be used as a benchmark for performance analysis. The strategy’s emphasis on liquidity and its active approach to risk management may frequently cause the portfolio’s performance to diverge from that of the SG Trend Index.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Losses in our portion of the Fund were driven by commodities during the period, with additional losses in fixed income and currencies.
•	In commodities, energies drove losses, as prices in these assets whipsawed over the year.
•	Precious metals, especially silver, also led to losses.
•	Fixed-income losses came primarily from international developed markets, especially Australian and Canadian bonds.
•	Currencies losses came primarily from international developed market currencies.

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•	Within equities, short positions detracted from performance over the period.
•	At the model level, the basic multi-trend models detracted from performance.
•	The top detractors from performance over the period were silver, Brent crude oil and crude oil.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	During the reporting period, equities contributed some small gains.
•	Short positions in short-term rates markets also contributed positively, as did long positions in emerging market currencies (especially the Mexican peso).
•	Within equities, gains from some long positions, especially the NASDAQ 100 and Japanese equities, outweighed losses from short positions.
•	At the model level, the adaptive trend and short-horizon approaches contributed positively. Increasing short-term rates continue to increase the contribution of the cash portion of the portfolio.
•	The top individual contributors to performance in our portion of the Fund over the period were the Mexican Peso, sugar and the NASDAQ 100.

Crabel

Our portion of the Fund is compared to the SG Trend Index, which outperformed over the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The commodities sector was the strongest detractor from performance in our portion of the Fund during the period.

○

Some of the largest commodity markets, including gold, crude oil, soybeans, corn, gasoline, heating oil and copper, were all very challenging, driven by market behavior such as sharp market reversals and tape-driven moves, sometimes in line with, but often against, market fundamentals. The continued war in Ukraine, along with inflationary concerns, fueled uncertainty and inconsistent market directionality in commodities.

•	Having a modestly faster (less long-term) strategy composition detracted within our portion of the Fund. With key trends such as rising yields continuing, efforts to fade the long-term move with shorter term strategies proved difficult.
•	Less exposure to the fixed-income sector, relative to the SG Trend Index, weighed on relative results, as the fixed-income sector proved the most rewarding sector during the period.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The best performing sector for our portion of the Fund during the period was the fixed-income sector.

○

Good returns within fixed income were a function of steadily rising yields globally. While the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bond proved the most valuable individual market, the Long Gilt and German Schatz were also among the best performing markets, suggesting that the benefits of geographical diversification were useful during the period.

•	The design of our portion of the Fund enables us to respond quickly to adverse sharp market movements. As an example, quick risk mitigating strategy design helped in March 2023, attention to smaller foreign exchange markets added performance, and position modifying logic, most impactfully synthetic market construction and trading, boosted returns.
•	Diversification, particularly across the fixed-income sector and non-G7 currency pairs, among other markets, aided performance. Further, diversification across approximately 200 markets in our portion of the Fund is likely higher than that of the benchmark, which further contributed to performance during the period.

(Unaudited)

Manulife

Our portion of the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Multiverse Index, the benchmark against which our performance is compared.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The largest contributor to relative performance was our shorter duration profile across developed market economies, particularly in the U.S. and eurozone, where interest rates rose sharply higher over the period.
•	Relative to the Bloomberg Multiverse Index, our portion of the Fund benefited from overweight positions in high-yield corporate, non-agency MBS, equities, and hard currency emerging market credit allocations.
•	From a security selection perspective, positioning within investment-grade corporates and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), favoring warehouse/cold storage space and medical research facilities, were the primary contributors.
•	From a foreign exchange and currency management perspective, underweight exposure to the Japanese yen and Chinese renminbi were the largest contributors.
•	From a local rate and country allocation perspective, the top contributors were relative underweights to the United Kingdom, where a combination of rising inflation and diminishing growth hurt, and overweight local positions in Indonesia and Malaysia that benefited from continued global growth.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The largest detractors to relative performance were from an exposure to convertible bonds combined with an overweight to CMBS and asset-backed securities (ABS).
•	From a security selection perspective, negative performance came from positioning within our hard currency emerging market credit and agency MBS allocations.
•	Lastly, from a currency standpoint, underweight exposure to the euro served as a material detractor as it appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar.
•	From a local rate and country allocation perspective, top detractors were our underweight to China and Japan, where monetary policy remained accommodative, along with our overweight to the domestic U.S. market, where yields moved sharply high during the period.

TCW

Our portion of the Fund underperformed the FTSE Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index during the period.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•

Detracting from both absolute and relative performance was the portfolio’s duration position, which remained longer than the Index throughout the period while also extending as Treasury yields continued to rise. Given both the magnitude and pace of the Fed’s hiking cycle, this duration positioning was the largest headwind to returns.

•

Exposure to agency MBS also weighed on returns, given the sector’s underperformance during the period relative to Treasuries and corporates. Our portion of the portfolio took advantage of historically attractive valuations to increase the allocation throughout the period, which despite producing a near term headwind, bodes well for prospective returns, especially in a recessionary environment and flight to quality, credit-risk free assets.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•

The largest contributor to portfolio performance was the exposure to corporate credit, given the significant amount of yield spread tightening among corporates (both investment grade and high yield), and resultant outperformance relative to comparable U.S. Treasuries during the period. Despite a modest trimming of the position in recent months in line with a value-oriented discipline, exposure to this high-performing asset class drove positive returns during the period.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•

An emphasis on more defensive sectors, including communications and non-cyclicals, was positive, as these sectors outperformed the broader corporate universe. Issue selection among these sectors was also favorable, including in pharmaceuticals, food/beverage and wireless names.

•

Driving contributions from an issue selection standpoint, however, was banking holdings, owing to a combination of outperformance from senior bonds of U.S. global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) amid volatility in March 2023, and relative value trading in names that experienced outsized volatility, whereby positions that were built at substantial discounts quickly appreciated to trade at a premium.

Water Island Capital

We managed a portion of the Fund’s assets from the start of the reporting period through August 25, 2023. During that time period, our portion of the Fund underperformed the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index.

As an absolute return strategy, our goal for our sleeve of the fund was to generate a level of positive return above the risk-free rate regardless of market conditions. Our sleeve’s underperformance relative to the risk-free benchmark during the period under review can primarily be attributed to event selection, as the portfolio experienced an increased number of broken deals during the period, as well as heightened volatility in deals undergoing protracted regulatory reviews, which weighed on the positive contributions of successes the portfolio realized elsewhere.

Notable detractors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	On a sector basis, the worst performers in our portion of the Fund were the financials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors.
•	The top detractor for our portion of the Fund was our position in the failed acquisition of First Horizon Corp by Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD). Eventually, in May 2023, First Horizon and TD mutually agreed to terminate the merger due to uncertainty as to when the deal might gain the lagging regulatory approvals, driving First Horizon shares even lower.
•	Other top detractors included the failed acquisition of Tegna by Standard General and the failed acquisition of Rogers by DuPont. Tegna is a US broadcast television company which agreed to be acquired by investment firm Standard General. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) designated the deal for a judicial review based on concerns it could raise prices for consumers. Such hearings are notoriously lengthy and have historically led deals to collapse. Standard General attempted to push a faster timeline in the courts because it feared that when the deal’s termination date arrived, should they attempt to extend the timeline, they would not be able to secure financing at rates comparable to when the deal was originally announced. After Standard General exhausted all appeals and was unsuccessful, the companies agreed to terminate the merger.
•	The Rogers transaction experienced an extended regulatory review at the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) in China. In November 2022, when the deal’s termination date was reached with SAMR approval still outstanding, in a move that caught many arbitrageurs by surprise, DuPont opted to walk away rather than agree to extend the timeline. Speculation around DuPont’s reasons for walking away and year-end tax-loss harvesting drove event-driven investors to exit their positions en masse, which exacerbated the price reaction of Rogers shares, leading them to trade at depressed levels.

Notable contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period

•	During the period under review, both of the portfolio’s sub-strategy sleeves – merger arbitrage and credit opportunities – generated positive returns, though the merger arbitrage sleeve comprised the bulk of the portfolio for the period and was thus responsible for most of the performance in our portion of the Fund.
•	Cash holdings in our portion of the Fund also contributed positively to performance over the period.
•	The top performing sectors were communication services, industrials and health care, each driven primarily by the successful completion of idiosyncratic merger arbitrage investments in deals within those sectors.

•	The portfolio’s top performing investment overall was the Activision/Microsoft deal. This deal was struck in January 2022, when Microsoft reached an agreement to acquire video game developer Activision Blizzard for $75.1 billion in cash.
•	Other top contributors included the acquisition of X (formerly known as Twitter) by Elon Musk and the acquisition of Change Healthcare by UnitedHealth Group. Both of these deals encountered stumbling blocks that led to spread volatility on their paths to completion.

Derivatives usage in the Fund

Each of the subadvisors employs derivative instruments in order to pursue their respective investment objectives. Taken on a stand-alone basis, the usage of these derivatives had a negative impact on overall Fund performance.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Social impact investing may increase risk due to the limitations and constraints involved in investment selection and, as a result, the Fund may under perform other funds that do not consider the social impact. Fixed-income securities present issuer default risk. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the Fund, negatively impacting its performance and NAV. Falling rates may result in the Fund investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the Fund’s income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Non-investment-grade (high-yield or junk) securities present greater price volatility and more risk to principal and income than higher rated securities. Prepayment and extension risk exists because the timing of payments on a loan, bond or other investment may accelerate when interest rates fall or decelerate when interest rates rise which may reduce investment opportunities and potential returns. The Fund invests substantially in municipal securities and will be affected by tax, legislative, regulatory, demographic or political changes, as well as changes impacting a state’s financial, economic or other conditions. A relatively small number of tax-exempt issuers may necessitate the Fund investing more heavily in a single issuer and, therefore, be more exposed to the risk of loss than a fund that invests more broadly. The Fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. Market or other (e.g., interest rate) environments may adversely affect the liquidity of fund investments, negatively impacting their price. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a holding, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. As a non-diversified fund, fewer investments could have a greater effect on performance. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

Analyzing your Fund’s expenses

Compare with other funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

(g)	Valuation based on significant unobservable inputs.
(h)	Zero coupon bond.
(i)	Represents a variable rate security with a step coupon where the rate adjusts according to a schedule for a series of periods, typically lower for an initial period and then increasing to a higher coupon rate thereafter. The interest rate shown was the current rate as of August 31, 2023.
(j)	Principal amounts are denominated in United States Dollars unless otherwise noted.
(k)	Perpetual security with no specified maturity date.
(l)	Represents a security in default.
(m)	Principal and interest may not be guaranteed by a governmental entity.
(n)	Represents a security purchased on a when-issued basis.
(o)	Denotes a restricted security, which is subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. Disposal of a restricted investment may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted, although certain of those securities may be traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such a trade. These securities are valued at fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. At August 31, 2023, the total market value of these securities amounted to $445,239, which represents 0.10% of total net assets. Additional information on these securities is as follows:

(p)	The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at August 31, 2023 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily determined either weekly, monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period. These base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR and other short-term rates. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or minimum rate. The interest rate for senior loans purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis will be determined upon settlement, therefore no interest rate is disclosed. Senior loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities. Generally, the Fund is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(q)	The rate shown is the seven-day current annualized yield at August 31, 2023.
(r)	As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, an affiliated company is one in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting securities, or a company which is under common ownership or control with the Fund. The value of the holdings and transactions in these affiliated companies during the year ended August 31, 2023 are as follows:

Fair value measurements

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

(a) Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) relating to securities held at August 31, 2023 was $55,271, which is comprised of Rights.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain common stocks and rights classified as Level 3 securities are valued using an income approach and considered estimates of future distributions from the company. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these estimates would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management determined that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
August 31, 2023

Note 1. Organization

Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Basis for consolidation

ASGM Offshore Fund, Ltd. and ASMF Offshore Fund, Ltd. (each, a Subsidiary) are each a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. Each Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investment strategies consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as stated in its current prospectus and statement of additional information. In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary (the Articles), the Fund owns the sole issued share of each Subsidiary and retains all rights associated with such share, including the right to receive notice of, attend and vote at general meetings of the Subsidiaries, rights in a winding-up or repayment of capital and the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements (financial statements) include the accounts of the consolidated Fund and each respective Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Fund and each Subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation process.

At August 31, 2023, each Subsidiary’s financial statement information is as follows:

	ASGM Offshore Fund, Ltd.	ASMF Offshore Fund, Ltd.
% of consolidated fund net assets	1.44%	2.60%
Net assets	$6,294,297	$11,401,650
Net investment income (loss)	237,721	264,055
Net realized gain (loss)	(3,511,093)	(4,828,024)
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	(340,948)	367,432

The financial statements present the portfolio holdings, financial position and results of operations of the Fund and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Fund shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund is offered only through certain wrap fee programs sponsored and/or managed by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial) or its affiliates, and to group retirement plan recordkeeping platforms that have an agreement with (i) Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. or an affiliate thereof that specifically authorizes the group retirement plan recordkeeper to offer and/or service Institutional 3 Class shares within such platform, provided also that Fund shares are held in an omnibus account and (ii) Wilshire Associates, appointed or serving as investment manager or consultant to the recordkeeper’s group retirement platform. The Fund does not currently offer Institutional 3 Class shares. The Fund offers the share class listed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities which is not subject to any front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security valuation

Senior loan securities for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued by pricing services at the average of the bids received.

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

Derivative instruments

The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another, to generate total return through long and short positions versus the U.S. dollar and to generate alpha. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.

58	Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Fund \| Annual Report 2023

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Futures contracts

Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates, to manage exposure to the securities market, the commodities market, the government bond market, the currency market and to generate alpha. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund generally expects to earn interest income on its margin deposits. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Options contracts

Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option contract. Option contracts can be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter. The Fund purchased and has written option contracts to decrease the Fund’s exposure to equity risk, to increase return on investments, to protect gains and to facilitate buying and selling of securities for investments. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market depends upon the performance of the other party. Collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure over-the-counter option contract trades. Collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the broker or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.

Options contracts purchased are recorded as investments. When the Fund writes an options contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option written. Changes in the fair value of the written option are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when the option contract is closed or expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Swap contracts

Swap contracts are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and are entered into bilaterally or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. For a bilateral swap contract, the Fund has credit exposure to the broker, but exchanges daily variation margin with the broker based on the mark-to-market value of the swap contract to minimize that exposure. For centrally cleared swap contracts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, that it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price which may result in significant losses, and that the bilateral counterparty, FCM or CCP, as applicable, may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.

Interest rate and inflation rate swap contracts

The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions and/or inflation rate swap contracts to gain exposure to or protect itself from market rate changes and to hedge the portfolio risk associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap or inflation rate swap, as applicable, is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.

Total return swap contracts

The Fund entered into total return swap contracts to manage long or short exposure to the total return on a specified reference security in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Total return swap contracts may be used to obtain exposure to an underlying reference security, instrument, or other asset or index or market without owning, taking physical custody of, or short selling any such security, instrument or asset in a market.

Total return swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time the Fund will realize a gain (loss). Periodic payments received (or made) by the Fund over the term of the contract are recorded as realized gains (losses). Total return swap contracts are subject to the risk associated with the investment in the underlying reference security, instrument or asset. This risk may be offset if the Fund holds any of the underlying reference security, instrument or asset. Total return swap contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparty may not fulfill its obligations under the contract. This risk is offset by the daily exchange of variation margin with the swap counterparty.

The Fund may enter into senior loan assignments where all or a portion of the loan may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments, if any, are generally traded and priced in the same manner as other senior loan securities and are disclosed as unfunded senior loan commitments in the Fund’s Consolidated Portfolio of Investments with a corresponding payable for investments purchased. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities to cover these commitments.

Treasury inflation protected securities

The Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.

Interest only and principal only securities

The Fund may invest in Interest Only (IO) or Principal Only (PO) securities. IOs are stripped securities entitled to receive all of the security’s interest, but none of its principal. IOs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price than typical interest bearing debt securities. IOs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of the interest payments if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Because no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a monthly basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. POs are stripped securities entitled to receive the principal from the underlying obligation, but not the interest. POs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore are subject to fluctuations in price. POs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. The Fund may also invest in IO or PO stripped mortgage-backed securities. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Investment Manager is responsible for the ultimate oversight of investments made by the Fund. The Fund’s subadvisers (see Subadvisory agreements below) have the primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 1.10% to 0.95% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended August 31, 2023 was 1.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Subadvisory agreements

The Investment Manager has entered into Subadvisory Agreements with AlphaSimplex Group, LLC, Crabel Capital Management, LLC, Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC and TCW Investment Management Company LLC, each of which subadvises a portion of the assets of the Fund. Prior to August 25, 2023, Water Island Capital, LLC served as a subadviser to the Fund. New investments in the Fund, net of any redemptions, are allocated in accordance with the Investment Manager’s determination. Each subadviser’s proportionate share of investments in the Fund will vary due to market fluctuations. The Investment Manager compensates each subadviser to manage the investment of the Fund’s assets.

Compensation of board members

Members of the Board of Trustees who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Trustees’ fees" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.

Transfer agency fees

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees.

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rate as a percentage of average daily net assets was as follows:

	Effective rate (%)
Institutional Class	0.11

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, derivative investments, tax straddles, investments in partnerships and/or grantor trusts, investments in certain convertible securities, deemed distributions, principal and/or interest from fixed income securities, defaulted securities/troubled debt, late-year ordinary losses, post-October capital losses, trustees’ deferred compensation, non-deductible expenses, investments in commodity subsidiaries, swap investments, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, excess distributions, foreign capital gains tax and miscellaneous adjustments. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
(867,752)	956,076	(88,324)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
37,236,968	—	37,236,968	7,521,528	—	7,521,528

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus, in each case, 1.00%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Significant risks

Alternative strategies investment risk

An investment in alternative investment strategies (Alternative Strategies) involves risks, which may be significant. Alternative Strategies may include strategies, instruments or other assets, such as derivatives, that seek investment returns uncorrelated with the broad equity and fixed income/debt markets, as well as those providing exposure to other markets (such as commodity markets), including but not limited to absolute (positive) return strategies. Alternative Strategies may fail to achieve their desired performance, market or other exposure, or their returns (or lack thereof) may be more correlated with the broad equity and/or fixed income/debt markets than was anticipated, and the Fund may lose money.

Credit risk

Derivatives risk

Foreign currency risk

The performance of the Fund may be materially affected positively or negatively by foreign currency strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly if the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short or long periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, imposition of currency controls and economic or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. The Fund may also incur currency conversion costs when converting foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and vice versa.

enterprise or instrumentality, and some, but not all, are also insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage-backed securities issued by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers) may entail greater risk than obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities are subject to liquidity risk and prepayment risk. A decline or flattening of housing values may cause delinquencies in mortgages (especially sub-prime or non-prime mortgages) underlying mortgage-backed securities and thereby adversely affect the ability of the mortgage-backed securities issuer to make principal and/or interest payments to mortgage-backed securities holders, including the Fund. Rising or high interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, making their prices more volatile and more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated portfolio of investments, of Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Fund and its subsidiaries (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management and SubadvisoryAgreements

(Unaudited)

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Multi-Manager Alternative Strategies Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds). In addition, under the subadvisory agreements (the Subadvisory Agreements) between the Investment Manager and each of AlphaSimplex Group, LLC (AlphaSimplex), Crabel Capital Management, LLC (Crabel), Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (Manulife), TCW Investment Management Company LLC (TCW) and Water Island Capital, LLC (Water Island) (collectively, the Subadvisers), the Subadvisers provide portfolio management and related services for the Fund. On June 22, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the termination of Water Island. Such termination became effective on August 25, 2023.

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (together, the Advisory Agreements). The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in February, March, April, May and June 2023, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by a third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses by the Investment Manager to written requests for information by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees (including their subcommittees), such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

•	Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to one or more benchmarks;

•	Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;

•

•	Terms of the Advisory Agreements;

•	Subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager under the Subadvisory Agreements;

•	Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund;

•	Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers under the Advisory Agreements, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;

•	The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

•	Report provided by the Board’s independent fee consultant, JDL Consultants, LLC (JDL).

Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements. The Board took into account that the renewal of the Water Island Subadvisory Agreement was only for a brief period given its termination.

Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2022 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2023. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

recommended to the Subadvisory Agreements. The Board took into account the Investment Manager’s representation that each Subadviser was in a position to provide quality services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board further observed the various services provided by the Investment Manager’s subadvisory oversight team.

Investment performance

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements. The Board took into account that the renewal of the Water Island Subadvisory Agreement was only for a brief period given its termination.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements were negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2022 had declined from 2021 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the decreased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements. The Board took into account that the renewal of the Water Island Subadvisory Agreement was only for a brief period given its termination.

Conclusion

On June 22, 2023, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that fees payable under each of the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided and approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements. The Board took into account that the renewal of the Water Island Subadvisory Agreement was only for a brief period given its termination.

APPROVAL OF SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

At its meeting on March 10, 2023, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and AlphaSimplex as a result of the upcoming acquisition of AlphaSimplex by Virtus Partners, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (Virtus).

The Independent Trustees considered that no material portfolio management team, investment strategy/process or compliance-related changes were expected to occur as a result of the transaction. The Independent Trustees considered that AlphaSimplex had confirmed that there would not be any change to the nature or quality of the services provided as a result of the transaction. The Independent Trustees noted that the proposed Subadvisory Agreement was substantially similar to the current subadvisory agreement and that no changes to subadvisory fees were proposed. The Independent Trustees considered the Fund’s performance, specifically noting Columbia Threadneedle’s view that it had met expectations. The Independent Trustees also considered the fees and expenses of the Fund, the subadvisory fees paid to AlphaSimplex and relevant comparisons thereof to those of peers and other Funds. The Independent Trustees also took into account Columbia Threadneedle’s view that the transaction would not adversely impact AlphaSimplex’s financial wherewithal so as to impact the level and quality of services provided to the Fund.

Independent legal counsel further indicated that the Independent Trustees should take into account the variety of written materials and oral presentations they received at their meetings in March 2023 as well as all of the information previously considered at the June 2022 Meeting regarding the proposed renewal of the Fund’s then-existing advisory and subadvisory agreements.

After considering the factors described above relating to the Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and AlphaSimplex, and taking into account all of the factors considered, as described below, as part of the approval of the continuance of the current Subadvisory Agreement in June 2022, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and AlphaSimplex.

General conclusions in connection with the Trustees’ previous approval of the continuance of the fund’s existing advisory agreements

On an annual basis, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the subadvisory agreements. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in November 2021 and March, April and June 2022, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party data provider, Broadridge, and comprehensive responses to written requests for information by Independent Legal Counsel to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Board, at the June 2022 Meeting, considered the renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with each of the Subadvisers for additional one-year terms. The Board, at its September 16, 2021 Board meeting, approved the engagement of Crabel as a subadviser to the Fund for an initial two-year term. At the June 2022 Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory and subadvisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreements. Among other things, the information and factors considered included the following:

In connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager, as well as the achievements in 2021 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2022. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.

Investment performance

In this connection, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed the Fund’s underperformance for certain periods, noting that appropriate steps (such as changes to the Fund’s subadvisers) had been taken to help improve the Fund’s performance.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s and Subadvisers’ performance and reputation generally, the Investment Manager’s evaluation of each Subadviser’s contribution to the Fund’s broader investment mandate and the Investment Manager’s willingness to take steps intended to improve performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current "pricing philosophy" such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.

Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of subadvisory fees paid to each Subadviser, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board also reviewed advisory fee rates charged by other comparable mutual funds employing each Subadviser to provide comparable subadvisory services. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of each of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements were negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that in 2021 the Board had considered 2020 profitability and that the 2022 information showed that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2021 increased from 2020 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the increased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Market overview

The broad U.S. equity market delivered strong gains during the annual period, despite continued concerns about a future economic slowdown and a series of rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) that tapered from aggressive to more measured by period-end to tame stubborn inflation. Momentum picked up as the period progressed as better-than-feared earnings drove equity gains. The period, however, was far from smooth.

In March 2023, the failure of a pair of U.S. banks and the collapse of European giant Credit Suisse led to fears of a financial crisis. In response, the Fed created a lending facility to support bank liquidity while the market began to price in multiple cuts in the federal funds target rate over the second half of 2023. At its March 2023 meeting the Fed raised the federal funds target rate by another quarter-point to a range of 4.75% to 5.0%. The rate hike was generally welcomed by investors as a signal that the Fed viewed the financial system as remaining on stable footing.

Inflation continued to decline as the period progressed. Through August 2023, the rate of year-over-year U.S. inflation had decelerated to 3.7%, a meaningful reduction from the four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022, though still higher than the Fed’s 2% inflation target. Nonetheless, with the economy displaying surprising resilience and employment remaining historically robust, the Fed implemented additional 25 basis point increases at its early May and late July meetings, bringing the federal funds target rate to the 5.25% to 5.50% range.

Sentiment remained quite positive through the latter months of the period, as the Fed slowed its pace of rate hikes in response to cooling inflation. Investors were further encouraged by the fact that economic growth and corporate earnings — while slowing — did not decline to the extent that the markets had anticipated in late 2022. These factors combined to fuel an impressive gain for equities, but the majority of the positive return was generated by a small group of mega-cap technology-related stocks. Much of the relative strength in this area comes from companies expected to benefit from the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). The growth style strongly outpaced value as a result, with returns of 21.94% and 8.59%, respectively, for the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index, which is less influenced by AI-related trends and is more sensitive to concerns about the banking sector, returned 4.65%, unable to keep pace with the rally in large caps.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. Value securities may be unprofitable if the market fails to recognize their intrinsic worth or the portfolio manager misgauged that worth. The Fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Fair value measurements

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Fair value measurements (continued)
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 level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement 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.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, trustees’ deferred compensation and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
(15,240)	15,241	(1)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, affiliated shareholders of record owned 25.1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Contrarian Core Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Contrarian Core Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Emerging Markets Fund returned -1.01% excluding sales charges. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), returned 1.25% for the same period, while developed international markets returned 17.92% as gauged by the MSCI EAFE Index (Net).

Market overview

Over the period, emerging markets hit lows following the China National Party Congress in late October of 2022, which raised alarm over the extent to which President Xi Jinping appeared determined to further centralize control. Sentiment rebounded early in 2023 on optimism around China’s reopening after the pandemic lockdown. However, markets would soon retreat on fears of financial system instability in the wake of issues with U.S. regional banks which emerged in February, heightened U.S.-China tensions following the spy balloon incident, and stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data which raised the prospect of further tightening of U.S. Federal Reserve policy.

As the period progressed, markets were encouraged by Chinese government efforts to support the ailing property sector and loosen the reins on private enterprise, along with lower-than-expected inflation and the prospect of central bank rate cuts. In addition, headlines around potential commercial applications for generative artificial intelligence boosted information technology stocks. Factors that constrained market sentiment included continued deterioration in relations between the U.S. and China and surprisingly soft Chinese economic activity despite the government’s loosening of pandemic-era restrictions.

The Chinese market, which is by far the biggest constituent of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), was the most significant constraint on benchmark performance for the 12 months, posting a -7.53% return.

The period saw many positive developments at the individual country level. Korea and Taiwan are benefiting from the semiconductor cycle bottoming as demand begins to rise, while Indonesia has seen key reforms unlock growth. India is on a new growth cycle, expanding its manufacturing sector, investing in infrastructure, digitalising its economy and encouraging foreign direct investment. In Latin America, Brazil has seen receding political and inflationary risks along with interest rate cuts, while Mexico is benefiting from nearshoring by U.S. companies. In emerging Europe, the Greek economy has been a turnaround story with growth returning and debt on a downward trajectory, while Poland’s economy has been boosted by nearshoring and migration.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	On the downside, selection within China and Hong Kong weighed most heavily on relative performance, followed by selection within South Africa and Taiwan.
•	With respect to individual detractors, Chinese online retailer JD.com, Inc. reported disappointing core revenue growth driven by very weak consumption of goods along with increased competition.
•	Similarly, Meituan, a shopping platform for locally sourced consumer products and services, has been negatively impacted by new entrants and anemic Chinese consumer spending.
•	Results for Chinese sportswear and sports equipment company Li Ning Co., Ltd. also suffered from the weak consumer demand as well as from increased competition from international brands such as Adidas and Nike.
•	Finally, China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp., Ltd., a duty free store operator, has not been immune from the impact of China’s less-than-robust rebound following reopening.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	In country terms, security selection was most beneficial to performance relative to the benchmark within Argentina, India and Indonesia. In terms of allocation effects, positioning with respect to Greece and Saudi Arabia proved most additive.
•	With respect to individual stocks, leading contributors included Prio S.A. as the Brazilian oil and gas producer saw its share price boosted by soaring profits driven by improving operational efficiency.
•	Shares of MercadoLibre, Inc., a Latin-American online marketplace, rallied following news of accounting irregularities at competitor Americanas, fueling hopes that MercadoLibre will gain significant market share.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•	Indonesian bank PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Persero Tbk outperformed over the period following the release of encouraging earnings reports reflecting strong loan growth.
•	Sentiment with respect to NetEase, Inc., a Chinese internet company, was supported by a solid pipeline of games which are expected to support growth.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. Value securities may be unprofitable if the market fails to recognize their intrinsic worth or the portfolio manager misgauged that worth. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. Certain issuer events, including initial public offerings, business consolidation or restructuring, may present heightened risks to securities from the high degree of uncertainty associated with such events. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

■	Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

■	Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at August 31, 2023:

services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 1.10% to 0.70% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended August 31, 2023 was 1.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Compensation of board members

Transfer agency fees

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. In addition, effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, Institutional 2 Class shares are subject to a contractual transfer agency fee annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to that share class.

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

	Effective rate (%)

Distribution and service fees

Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively.

commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In addition to the contractual agreement, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described above) so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Fund and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes. This arrangement may be revised or discontinued at any time. Reflected in the contractual cap commitment, effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, is the Transfer Agent’s contractual agreement to limit total transfer agency fees to an annual rate of not more than 0.05% for Institutional 2 Class of the average daily net assets attributable to that share class, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, capital loss carryforwards, trustees’ deferred compensation, net operating loss reclassification, excess distributions and foreign capital gains tax. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
17,015,624	(7,368,041)	(9,647,583)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended August 31, 2023			Year Ended August 31, 2022
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Tax return of capital ($)	Total ($)
—	—	—	21,951,272	9,055,618	2,802,586	33,809,476

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
—	—	(259,633,782)	306,191,894

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
922,859,741	401,657,050	(95,465,156)	306,191,894

Note 5. Portfolio information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $587,078,918 and $872,102,624, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 2023. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 7. Interfund lending

The Fund’s activity in the Interfund Program during the year ended August 31, 2023 was as follows:

Borrower or lender	Average loan balance ($)	Weighted average interest rate (%)	Number of days with outstanding loans
Borrower	15,567,568	5.07	37

Interest expense incurred by the Fund is recorded as interfund lending in the Statement of Operations. The Fund had no outstanding interfund loans at August 31, 2023.

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended August 31, 2023.

Note 9. Fund reorganization

At the close of business on December 10, 2021, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of BMO LGM Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the Acquired Fund), a series of BMO Funds, Inc. The reorganization was completed after shareholders of the Acquired Fund approved a plan of reorganization at a shareholder meeting held on November 23, 2021. The purpose of the reorganization was to combine two funds with comparable investment objectives and strategies.

The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the reorganization were $2,217,656,191 and the combined net assets immediately after the reorganization were $2,387,592,476.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 13,904,828 shares of the Acquired Fund valued at $169,936,285 (including $5,849,889 of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)).

In exchange for the Acquired Fund’s shares, the Fund issued the following number of shares:

	Shares
Class A	269,775
Advisor Class	9,411,874

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the Acquired Fund’s cost of investments was carried forward.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2021, the Fund’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2022 would have been approximately:

	($)
Net investment income	47,000
Net realized loss	(47,692,000)
Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	(895,002,000)
Net decrease in net assets from operations	(942,647,000)

increased volatility in the value of the Fund’s investments and losses for the Fund. Also, securities of some companies in the region can be less liquid than U.S. or other foreign securities, potentially making it difficult for the Fund to sell such securities at a desirable time and price.

Greater China. The Fund is particularly susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers in the Greater China region. The region consists of Hong Kong, The People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, among other countries, and the Fund’s investments in the region are particularly susceptible to risks in that region. The Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Chinese economies are dependent on the economies of other countries and can be significantly affected by currency fluctuations and increasing competition from other emerging economies in Asia with lower costs. Adverse events in any one country within the region may impact the other countries in the region or Asia as a whole. As a result, adverse events in the region will generally have a greater effect on the Fund than if the Fund were more geographically diversified, which could result in greater volatility in the Fund’s net asset value and losses. Markets in the Greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. Changes in Chinese government policy and economic growth rates could significantly affect local markets and the entire Greater China region. China has yet to develop comprehensive securities, corporate, or commercial laws, its market is relatively new and less developed, and its economy is experiencing a relative slowdown. Export growth continues to be a major driver of China’s economic growth. As a result, a reduction in spending on Chinese products and services, the institution of additional tariffs or other trade barriers, including as a result of heightened trade tensions between China and the United States, or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy.

consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, restricted cross-border payments and limited access to investments and/or assets in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events could negatively impact Fund performance.

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 29.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 28.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Variable interest entity risk

Many Chinese companies to which the Fund seeks investment exposure use a structure known as a variable interest entity (a VIE) to address Chinese restrictions on direct foreign investment in Chinese companies operating in certain sectors. The Fund’s investment exposure to VIEs may pose additional risks because the Fund’s investment is in a holding company domiciled outside of China (a Holding Company) whose interests in the business of the underlying Chinese operating company (the VIE) are established through contracts rather than equity ownership. The VIE structure is a longstanding practice in China that, until recently, was not acknowledged by the Chinese government, creating uncertainty over the possibility that the Chinese government might cease to tolerate VIE structures at any time or impose new restrictions on the structure. In such a scenario, the Chinese operating company could be subject to penalties, including revocation of its business and operating license, or the Holding Company could forfeit its interest in the business of the Chinese operating company. Further, in case of a dispute, the remedies and rights of the Fund may be limited, and such legal uncertainty may be exploited against the interests of the Fund. Control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the contractual arrangements, is subject to legal proceedings, or if any physical instruments or property of the VIE, such as seals, business registration certificates, financial data and licensing arrangements (sometimes referred to as “chops”), are used without authorization. In the event of such an occurrence, the Fund, as a foreign investor, may have little or no legal recourse. In addition to the risk of government intervention, investments through a VIE structure are subject to the risks that the China-based company (or its officers, directors, or Chinese equity owners) may breach the contractual arrangements, that Chinese law changes in a way that adversely affects the enforceability of the arrangements and that the contracts are otherwise not enforceable under Chinese law, in which case a Fund may suffer significant losses on its investments through a VIE structure with little or no recourse available. Further, the Fund is not a VIE owner/shareholder and cannot exert influence through proxy voting or other means. Foreign companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States, including companies using the VIE structure, could also face delisting or other ramifications for failure to meet the expectations and/or requirements of U.S. regulators. Recently, however, China has proposed the adoption of rules which would affirm that VIEs are legally permissible, though there remains significant uncertainty over how these rules will operate. Any of these risks could reduce the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments in Holding Companies or render them valueless.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Emerging Markets Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Emerging Markets Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (iii) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed the Fund’s underperformance for certain periods, noting that appropriate steps (such as changes to the Fund’s investment process) had been taken to help improve the Fund’s performance.

The Board also reviewed a description of thethird-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally,and the Investment Manager’s willingness to take steps intended to improve performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Greater China Fund returned -15.15% excluding sales charges. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI China Index (Net), returned -7.53% for the same period. The Hang Seng Index returned -7.80%.

Market overview

Over the period, Chinese equities hit lows following the China National Party Congress in late October of 2022, which raised alarm over the extent to which President Xi Jinping appeared determined to further centralize control. Sentiment rebounded early in 2023 on optimism around China’s reopening. However, markets would soon retreat on fears of financial system instability in the wake of issues with U.S. regional banks which emerged in February, heightened U.S.-China tensions following the spy balloon incident, and stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data which raised the prospect of further tightening of U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy.

As the period progressed, markets were encouraged by Chinese government efforts to support the ailing property sector and loosen the reins on private enterprise, along with lower-than-expected inflation and the prospect of central bank rate cuts. In addition, headlines around potential commercial applications for generative artificial intelligence (AI) boosted information technology stocks. Factors that constrained market sentiment included continued deterioration in relations between the U.S. and China and surprisingly soft Chinese economic activity despite the Chinese government’s loosening of pandemic-era restrictions.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	In sector terms, selection within consumer discretionary was by a wide margin the largest constraint on the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark.
•	With respect to individual detractors, Chinese online retailer JD.com, Inc. reported disappointing core revenue growth driven by very weak consumption of goods along with increased competition.
•	Similarly, Meituan, a shopping platform for locally sourced consumer products and services, has been negatively impacted by new entrants and anemic Chinese consumer spending.
•	Results for Chinese sportswear and sports equipment company Li-Ning Co., Ltd. also suffered from weak consumer demand as well as from increased competition from international brands such as Adidas and Nike.
•	Finally, China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp., Ltd., a duty free store operator, has not been immune from the impact of China’s less-than-robust rebound following reopening.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	In sector terms, selection within real estate and industrials proved most beneficial.
•	With respect to individual holdings, NetEase, Inc., a Chinese internet company, was supported by a solid pipeline of games which are expected to support growth.
•	Shares of Beijing Kingsoft Office Software, Inc. benefited from the company’s strong subscription monetization as well as the growth opportunity from generative AI applications which we believe should drive higher average revenue per user. We sold the Fund’s position in Beijing Kingsoft Office Software, Inc. before the close of the reporting period.
•	A lack of exposure to NIO proved additive as sentiment with respect to the electronic vehicle manufacturer suffered from concerns over the broader Chinese economy as well as higher input costs.
•	Zhejiang Sanhua Intelligent Controls Co., Ltd. is an industry leader in thermal management systems critical to improving power generation energy efficiency globally and to the manufacture of electronic vehicles. The stock outperformed on strong revenues as well as a book of secured orders which we believe should support growth in coming years.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At August 31, 2023, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, passive foreign investment company (pfic) holdings, capital loss carryforwards, trustees’ deferred compensation and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
227,923	(227,923)	—

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

For the years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022, there were no distributions.

At August 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
464,352	—	(24,050,867)	13,208,432

At August 31, 2023, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
80,329,715	19,372,033	(6,163,601)	13,208,432

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

No expiration short-term ($)	No expiration long-term ($)	Total ($)	Utilized ($)

Note 9. Significant risks

Communication services sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the communication services sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the communication services sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many communication services sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term.

Consumer discretionary sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the consumer discretionary sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to certain risks, including fluctuations in the performance of the overall domestic and international economies, interest rate changes, increased competition and consumer confidence. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including reduced disposable household income, reduced consumer spending, changing demographics and consumer tastes.

Market risk

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2023

Non-diversification risk

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, one unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 47.2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Variable interest entity risk

Many Chinese companies to which the Fund seeks investment exposure use a structure known as a variable interest entity (a VIE) to address Chinese restrictions on direct foreign investment in Chinese companies operating in certain sectors. The Fund’s investment exposure to VIEs may pose additional risks because the Fund’s investment is in a holding company domiciled outside of China (a Holding Company) whose interests in the business of the underlying Chinese operating company (the VIE) are established through contracts rather than equity ownership. The VIE structure is a longstanding practice in China that, until recently, was not acknowledged by the Chinese government, creating uncertainty over the possibility that the Chinese government might cease to tolerate VIE structures at any time or impose new restrictions on the structure. In such a scenario, the Chinese operating company could be subject to penalties, including revocation of its business and operating license, or the Holding Company could forfeit its interest in the business of the Chinese operating company. Further, in case of dispute, the remedies and rights of the Fund may be limited and such legal uncertainty may be exploited against the interests of the Fund. Control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the contractual arrangements, is subject to legal proceedings, or if any physical instruments or property of the VIE, such as seals, business registration certificates, financial data and licensing arrangements (sometimes referred to as “chops”), are used without authorization. In the event of such an occurrence, the Fund, as a foreign investor, may have little or no legal recourse. In addition to the risk of government intervention, investments through a VIE structure are subject to the risks that the China-based company (or its officers, directors, or Chinese equity owners) may breach the contractual arrangements, that Chinese law changes in a way that adversely affects the enforceability of the arrangements and that the contracts are otherwise not enforceable under Chinese law, in which case a Fund may suffer significant losses on its investments through a VIE structure with little or no recourse available. Further, the Fund is not a VIE owner/shareholder and cannot exert influence through proxy voting or other means. Foreign companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States, including companies using the VIE structure, could also face delisting or other ramifications for failure to meet the expectations and/or requirements of U.S. regulators. Recently, however, China has proposed the adoption of rules which would affirm that VIEs are legally permissible, though there remains significant uncertainty over how these rules will operate. The Fund invests significantly in Holding Companies (and similar structures) in connection with its 80% investment policy and any of these risks could reduce the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments in Holding Companies or render them valueless.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Greater China Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Greater China Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Investment performance

The Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the Fund’s performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (iii) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed the Fund’s underperformance for certain periods, noting that appropriate steps (such as changes to the Fund’s investment process) had been taken to help improve the Fund’s performance.

The Board also reviewed a description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.

Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund

The Board considered the reports of JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) was slightly below the peer universe’s median expense ratio shown in the reports.

Economies of scale

The Board considered the potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, and whether those economies of scale were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading, compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed.The Board observed that the Management Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.

Conclusion

The Board reviewed all of the above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023, Class A shares of Columbia Select Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 11.48% excluding sales charges. During the same period, the Fund trailed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which returned 13.00%. However, the Fund outperformed the broader mid-cap market, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index, which returned 8.38% during the period.

Market overview

Markets advanced over the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2023, amidst conflicting economic data that kept investors focused on the path of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hikes and the debate over a soft versus hard economic landing. After a dismal first half in 2022, U.S. markets showed signs of optimism in the second half of the year as oil prices rolled over from their June highs and investors got more hopeful over a slowing in the Fed’s interest rate raising trajectory. Company earnings, consumer spending and the jobs market showed resilience despite historically high inflation numbers, and the stubbornly persisting prospects of an impending recession kept being pushed out further into the future. Geopolitical concerns also helped to fuel investor uncertainty as the Russia-Ukraine conflict continued. Coming into 2023, markets rebounded on renewed hope of a Fed pivot in interest rates, which led to many oversold companies picking up steam. In March 2023, the sudden failure of two large U.S. banks led to a major sell-off in the financial sector, making investors jittery about the U.S. financial system. However, government measures contained any prolonged contagion from the banking crisis. As the first half of 2023 progressed, the gains in the market were largely a reflection of a handful of highly valued mega cap tech focused companies poised to benefit from advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in generative AI and large language models. Towards the end of the period however, markets pulled back in an environment of rating agency downgrades of U.S. debt, signs of depletion in US household savings and slowing economic data out of China.

The Fed raised interest rates seven times between September 2022 and July 2023, bringing the target rate up from a range of 2.25%-2.50% to 5.25%-5.50% by August 31, 2023. Annual inflation, as measured by Consumer Price Index, was 3.7% in August, much lower than its June 2022 peak of 9.1% but still well above the Fed’s 2% target rate. The labor market stayed resilient, with the unemployment rate staying at 3.7%, while personal spending increased 3.3% from last year.

Industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology were the best performing sectors. Industrials was led by transportation and consumer discretionary was led by consumer durables. Information technology was driven up by technology hardware names. Three sectors ended in the red: utilities, communication services and materials.

The Fund experienced an increased level of portfolio turnover as compared to the previous reporting period, driven primarily by opportunistic trading during a period of elevated market volatility.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	Selection among information technology names was the primary driver of underperformance, particularly within software and services. Several holdings detracted from performance in the consumer discretionary sector, particularly among our consumer services names. An overweight to the communication services sector was also a drag on performance.
•	CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is a cybersecurity technology company that provides cloud workload and endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services. During the period, the company was weighed down by weaker than expected growth in new revenue, customer delays in subscription plans, longer sales cycles, an increased scrutiny on budgets and a general deceleration in new customers in a tough market environment. The Fund’s position in CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. was eliminated during the period.
•	Generac Holdings Inc. is a leading energy technology company that provides advanced power grid software solutions, backup, and prime power systems for home and industrial applications, solar + battery storage solutions, virtual power plant platforms and engine and battery-powered tools and equipment. During the period, Generac’s dealer channel slowed orders due to inventory building as Generac’s lead time shrank and those dealers struggled to meet demand for home standby generators due to a shortage of workers to do the installations. This caused Generac to miss earnings and lower guidance. The Fund’s position in Generac Holdings Inc. was eliminated during the period.
•	Repligen Corporation is a global life sciences company which engages in providing bio-processing technologies and solutions used in the process of manufacturing biological drugs. During the period, the company reduced its annual

guidance. The company is facing longer-than-expected headwinds from restrained spending and customer destocking due to demand normalization as the market for its Covid related products has dried up. This cyclical drawdown has been exacerbated by a lack of visibility on the progress of China’s economy as well as persistent fears over biotech funding.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	During the period, the growth style that was out of favor returned as investors hoped for a Fed pivot on interest rate hikes. This led to a resurgence in long duration growth names. Value stocks were also negatively affected because of the banking crisis fallout.
•	Selection within media and entertainment in the communication services sector worked favorably along with some positions in the materials sector. An overweight to the health care was also a positive factor.
•	West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of injectable pharmaceutical packaging and delivery systems (e.g., syringe plungers, stoppers, and vials), with leading market share and financial returns. West has built a dominant market share in the single vial business. Single vials are a critical component of drug suppliers, given stringent FDA regulations around contamination. West has gained a strong foothold in this space, giving it a massive scale advantage with high barriers to entry, and therefore strong pricing power. The company has had favorable results during the period that was above expectations.
•	Five Below, Inc. is an American chain of specialty discount stores that sells products that are priced at less than five dollars and a small assortment of products from $6 to $25. Revenues have been strong with the company continuing to add on new stores to its existing line up and making improvements to its supply chain. After having a weaker initial start in 2022 in the wake of the Covid ripple effects on inventory, they reported better than expected earnings as the year progressed that raised investor confidence in sales re-accelerating. They also articulated initiatives which helped drive greater sales during the holiday season. The Fund’s position in Five Below, Inc. was eliminated during the period.
•	XPO, Inc. is a less than truck load (LTL) carrier. XPO historically has underperformed their competitors due to lack of focus and a weak margin structure. However, more recently they have had a CEO change and hired executives from the market leading competitor, who are financially incentivized to improve operations. This new management team has begun to put in place initiatives that will drive a change in culture and significantly improve the margin structure of the business. The market responded favorably to these developments.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. Foreign investments subject the fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Investments in mid-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. The fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
9,279,286	(4,228)	(9,275,058)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

Note 9. Fund reorganization

At the close of business on January 21, 2022, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of BMO Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the Acquired Fund), a series of BMO Funds, Inc. The reorganization was completed after shareholders of the Acquired Fund approved a plan of reorganization at a shareholder meeting held on January 7, 2022. The purpose of the reorganization was to combine two funds with comparable investment objectives and strategies.

The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the reorganization were $1,794,349,761 and the combined net assets immediately after the reorganization were $1,810,824,181.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 3,006,453 shares of the Acquired Fund valued at $16,474,420 (including $299,571 of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)).

In exchange for the Acquired Fund’s shares, the Fund issued the following number of shares:

	Shares
Class A	727,078
Advisor Class	61,087

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the Acquired Fund’s cost of investments was carried forward.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2021, the Fund’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2022 would have been approximately:

	($)
Net investment loss	(12,840,000)
Net realized gain	16,706,000
Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	(654,550,000)
Net decrease in net assets from operations	(650,684,000)

Market risk

Shareholder concentration risk

At August 31, 2023, affiliated shareholders of record owned 30.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Fund shares sold to or redeemed by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Select Mid Cap Growth Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Select Mid Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (excluding any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser (the “Adviser”) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (a “Control Affiliate”) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

The Audit Committee has adopted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Auditors for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the “Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (“Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s Adviser and any Control Affiliates, that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fund (“Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s Adviser and its Control Affiliates. A service will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditor; provided, however, that pre-approval of non-audit services to the Fund, the Adviser or Control Affiliates may be waived if certain de minimis requirements set forth in the SEC’s rules are met.

Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are independent board members. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee's responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent auditor may not be delegated to management.

On an annual basis, at a regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund officer shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of the types of Fund Services and Fund-related Adviser Services that are subject to specific pre-approval. This schedule will provide a description of each type of service that is subject to specific pre-approval, along with total projected fees for each service. The pre-approval will generally cover a one-year period. The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and the projected fees for the next one-year period and may add to, or subtract from, the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. This specific approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent auditor will be permitted to perform and the projected fees for each service.

The Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund officer shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services provided since the last such report was rendered, including a description of the services, by category, with forecasted fees for the annual reporting period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor, by category, with actual fees during the current reporting period.

(e)(2) None, or 0%, of the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees paid by the Fund or affiliated entities relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant disclosed above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraphs (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (which permits audit committee approval after the start of the engagement with respect to services other than audit, review or attest services, if certain conditions are satisfied).
