    i   

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (“Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

The U.S. economic expansion continued during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, though its pace remained tepid. The production of goods and services grew 3.1%, 0.4%, and 2.5% faster than the rate of inflation during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. U.S. consumer spending propelled the gains, though consumers were still cautious amid the long, slow recovery from the Great Recession of 2007–2009. Retail and food sales, for example, amounted to $4.94 trillion during our fiscal year, up 2.5% in real (inflation-adjusted) terms over the preceding 12-month period. The housing market continued its nascent recovery, and inflation averaged about 1.1%.

Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, May 28, 2013

If consumers were feeling somewhat better, business managers remained wary. During the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, investments in U.S. plants, property, and equipment expected to last three years or more were made at lower rates than they had been made in the corresponding quarters five years earlier, as the recession was beginning. Employers likewise remained cautious in hiring. The number of U.S. private-sector workers grew in all 12 months of our fiscal year, but the rate of private-sector job growth remained slow. At the end of April, there were still 2.0 million fewer private-sector workers than there had been at the labor market’s January 2008 peak. Much of the blame for soft business enthusiasm was laid at the doorsteps of Congress and the White House. Many business leaders said lawmakers needed to make meaningful changes in U.S. tax and spending policies to shore up the nation’s finances and to clarify the legal and regulatory environment.

Despite the modest rate of expansion, the U.S. recovery looked solid in relation to economic conditions in Europe, where a recession appeared to be worsening. Greece appeared likely to remain at least a near-term participant in the continent’s common currency experiment, but Spain, Portugal and Italy all joined Greece in struggling under heavy sovereign debts. Debate about the possibility of developing common fiscal policies and banking regulations continued, and investors were soothed by the European Central Bank President’s assurance that the bank would do “whatever it takes to preserve the euro.” In China, growth appeared to slow, though it remained strong in absolute terms. On balance, the global economy appeared to be expanding at a modest rate.

The Bond Markets

The good times rolled on in the U.S. bond market during our fiscal year. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.68%. The index tracks the overall market for taxable, investment-grade U.S. bonds and includes U.S. Treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The gain was propelled by strong results among corporate issues (+7.49%, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index), into which investors piled as the search for investment opportunities with meaningful yields continued.

The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, against which many other interest rates are set, declined from 1.91% at the end of April 2012 to a low of 1.43% in late July 2012 before climbing to 1.67% at the end of April 2013. The net 12-month decrease of a quarter of a percentage point boosted the prices of bonds across the market.

The S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index1 returned 4.71%. Demand for shares of municipal bond mutual funds, which account for much of the total demand for municipal bonds, accelerated as fears of widespread municipal bankruptcies dissipated and the rates of U.S. taxation on interest, dividends, and capital gains were allowed to revert in 2013 to prior, higher levels for higher-income taxpayers. Talk of limiting the federal tax exemption on municipal bond interest income, meanwhile, continued to be just talk.

The Stock Markets

Investors heard plenty about the “lost decade” of equity returns when the effects of the financial crisis were in full swing in early 2009. Commercials decrying 401(k) retirement plans as “201(k)s” promoted “gold 401(k)s” or day trading as solutions; “buy and hold,” it was said, was dead. Fast forward four years and anyone who abandoned equities may be wishing they hadn’t. The “lost decade” has turned into a pretty normal “found decade,” with a trailing 10-year total return for the S&P 500 Index of 7.88%, annualized. Granted, ten years ago we were emerging from the tech bubble; one must always be leery of the period selected in drawing conclusions from economic or investment data.

Stocks generally did very well during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013. Six broad stock market indices, which together offer a rough portrait of the world’s equity securities, returned between +3.97% and +19.39% in U.S. dollars during the fiscal year. The weakest return came from the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index8 (+3.97%) and the strongest return (+19.39%) was recorded by the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index9 of developed international stock markets. In between were the returns of the Russell Top 200 Index10 (+16.30%), which tracks mega-capitalization U.S. stocks, the Russell Midcap Index11 (+19.20%) of mid-cap U.S. stocks, the Russell 2000 Index12 (+17.69%) of small-cap U.S. stocks, and the S&P 500 Index13 (+16.89%), a widely watched gauge consisting mainly of large-cap U.S. stocks.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

   

S&P 500

Dow Jones

MSCI All Country

Index16

   
  16.89%   15.39%   10.78%   14.15%  

The Trust, with assets of $13.3 billion as of April 30, 2013, gives investors access to every major asset class and sector. Whether you are looking for a comfortable retirement, to fund a child’s higher education, pursue tax-free income17, stay ahead of inflation, or keep your cash working, one or more of the Trust’s Funds may provide you with the diversification, flexibility and professional management you need.

Sincerely,

For more complete information, please download the Funds’ prospectus available on www.wilmingtonfunds.com, or call 1-800-836-2211 for a copy. You should consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before you invest. Information about these and other important subjects is in the Funds’ prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The index performance quoted is for illustrative purposes only and is not representative of any specific investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss.

All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Equity Securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.

An investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

WILMINGTON MONEY MARKET FUNDS

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

This past fiscal year saw record low interest rates, slow but steady economic growth, low inflation, additional quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve and a continuation of the search for yield by investors in this ultra-low interest rate environment. The search for yield contributed to the corporate bond market producing its second best year of outperformance as measured by excess returns for 2012.

The tepid economic recovery continued as Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) grew at only a 1.8% rate for the year ended March 31, 2013, slightly slower than the prior year’s pace of 2.1%. Uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy, higher taxes and cuts in government spending brought on from the sequestration were some of the head-winds leading to slower growth. Consumers and business managers continue to remain cautious in their spending given these head-winds. On a positive note, the housing market is improving as evidenced by rising home prices and housing starts reaching a 5-year high.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the fiscal year and announced a 3rd round of quantitative easing last September that increased their monthly buying of mortgage and treasury bonds to $85 billion per month. The Fed’s goal is to keep long-term interest rates low enough to continue to aid the housing market and stimulate the economy. The Fed has stated that it will maintain its policies until the unemployment rate declines to at least 6.5% and inflation moves up to 2%. Currently, the unemployment rate is at 7.5%, down from 8.1% a year ago. Although job growth has improved, it still remains slower than during past recoveries. The slack in the overall economy coupled with lower energy prices and wage growth of only 2% has caused the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) to decline to 1.1% for the past year. Given the Fed’s mandate to lower unemployment and allow inflation to rise, we expect the current low interest rate polices to be maintained for the foreseeable future.

The combination of low inflation, slow economic growth, the Fed’s accommodative policies and concerns over the European debt crisis caused 10-year treasury yields to decline to a record low yield of 1.38% last July. Over the past year, interest rates declined all along the yield curve. Longer-term interest rates declined more than shorter-term interest rates causing the yield curve to flatten. At April 30, the 10-year treasury yield was 1.67%, down 24 basis points from April 30, 2012.

        Source: Bloomberg, May 1, 2013

Looking forward, we expect economic growth to remain slow, inflation to remain low and the Fed to continue with its low interest rate policies. However, as the unemployment rate moves lower we do expect longer-term interest rates to slowly move higher as the Fed will look to taper its quantitative easing. Unfortunately, we do not expect the Fed to begin raising short-term interest rates for some time. While the Fed did alter its official policy stance on raising interest rates to remove its mid 2015 target, we continue to view 2015 as the most likely time frame for a move higher.

Given our outlook, we continue to maintain longer weighted average maturities for the money market funds. Despite the abatement in European financial system concerns (see the decline in Libor rates in the chart below), we remain hesitant to delve back into this sector for our funds. We continue to concentrate our focus on high quality industrial, along with select U.S., Canadian and Australian financials credits; whether taking direct exposure in the Prime Fund, or as liquidity or credit support providers in the Tax-Exempt Fund.

The Wilmington Funds have, and will continue to maintain a conservative posture for its money market fund shareholders. Preservation of principal remains our priority.

The change in key interest rates over the last twelve months is presented below.

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2013

Performance shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return will fluctuate. The total return shown assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus with this and other information may be obtained by calling 800-836-2211 or visiting the Funds’ web site at www.wilmingtonfunds.com. The prospectus should be read before investing.

The Funds’ shares are not bank deposits and are not insured by, guaranteed by, endorsed by or obligations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, any government agency or any bank. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Funds Management Corporation voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fees and/or reimburse certain of the Funds’ operating expenses, or certain “class-specific fees and expenses” to prevent the Funds’ (or a class thereof, as applicable) current annualized yield from being below 0.01% (1 basis point) annually. The fee waiver does not take into consideration acquired fund fees and expenses. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be discontinued at any time.

Quantitative Easing (QE) is government monetary policy occasionally used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative Easing increases the money supply by flooding the financial institutions with capital, in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.

Basis Points (bps) is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1%, and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indices and the yield of a fixed-income security.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. The CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them; the goods are weighted according to their importance. Changes in CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Wilmington Funds

April 30, 2013

 

1.   ORGANIZATION

Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 23 portfolios, 4 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 19 funds are presented in separate reports.

 

    Fund    Investment Goal
  Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund
(“Prime Money Market Fund”)(d)
   The Fund seeks to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.
  Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund
(“U.S. Government Money Market Fund”)(d)
   The Fund seeks to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.
  Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
(“U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund”)(d)
   The Fund seeks to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.
  Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
(“Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund”)(d)
   The Fund seeks to provide current income that is exempt from federal income taxes while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal.

(d) Diversified

The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I and Institutional Class. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – The Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

 

 

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2013


 

32   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Accretion and Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax are necessary.

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales.

 

3.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to the tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, market discount reclass, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and distributions recognition on income distribution payable.

As of April 30, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

 

    Fund    Paid-in    
Capital    
  Undistributed

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

At April 30, 2013, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. At April 30, 2013, the Funds had no Post-October or Late Year losses to defer.

 

4.   ADVISORY FEES, SERVICING FEES, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS  

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) provides sub-advisory services to the Funds. WFMC and WTIA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of M&T Bank Corporation. For its services, the Funds pay WFMC an annual investment advisory fee, accrued and paid daily, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as described below. WFMC, not the Funds, pays WTIA for its services.

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2013


 

34   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

WFMC has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee and/or reimburse each of the Fund’s operating expenses, or certain “class-specific fees and expenses” to prevent each Fund’s (or class thereof, as applicable) current annualized yield from being below 0.01% (1 basis point) annually. The fee waiver does not take into consideration acquired fund fees and expenses. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be discontinued at any time.

Administrative Fee – The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) provides the Trust with fund administration services. Effective October 1, 2012, WFMC replaced WFMC as Co-Administrator for the Funds. WFMC in its role as co-administrator provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services necessary to operate the Funds. These services were provided for at an aggregate annual fee as specified below.

 

    Administration   Maximum
Fee
    Average Aggregate Daily Net
Assets of the Trust
   
  WFMC     0.033   On the first $5 billion  
      0.020   On the next $2 billion  
      0.016   On the next $3 billion  
      0.015   On assets in excess of $10 billion  
  BNYM     0.0285   On the first $500 million  
      0.0280   On the next $500 million  
      0.0275   On assets in excess of $1 billion  

WFMC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. WFMC can modify or terminate its voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended April 30, 2013, WTIA and WFMC did not waive any administrative personnel and services fee.

Distribution Services Fee – The Trust has adopted a Distribution Services Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan allows the Funds to pay fees to financial intermediaries, which may be paid through ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ALPS”), the principal distributor, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Administrative Class and Service Class for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and record keeping of these shares.

The Trust may reduce the maximum amount of distribution services fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including ALPS, the Advisor or their affiliates), may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, M&T Securities, Inc. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (together “M&T”), affiliates of the Advisor, received a portion of the fees paid by the Funds which are listed below:

 

    Fund   Distribution
Fees
   
  Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund   $1,113  

Shareholder Services Fee – Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan adopted by the Funds and administered by ALPS, the Funds may pay up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Administrative Class, Select Class and Service Class to financial intermediaries (which may include ALPS, the Advisor or their affiliates) for providing shareholder services and maintaining shareholder accounts. M&T, an affiliate of the Advisor, has entered into a Shareholders Services Agreement with ALPS, under which it is entitled to receive up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s shares for whom M&T provides shareholder services. The Funds may reduce the maximum amount of shareholder service fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including M&T) may waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, M&T received a portion of the fees paid by the following Funds which are listed below:

 

    Fund   Shareholder Services
Fee
     
  Prime Money Market Fund     $160,247     
  Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund     451     

Other Service Providers – Foreside Management Services, LLC (“FMS”) provides a Principal Executive Officer to the Trust. FMS has no role in determining the investment policies or which securities are to be sold or purchased by the Trust or its Funds.

BNYM provides fund accounting and custody services to the Trust.

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. provides transfer agency services to the Trust.

General – Certain Officers of the Trust are also Officers or employees of the above companies that provide services to the Funds, and during their terms of office, receive no compensation from the Funds.

5.   LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNYM. The termination date of this LOC is March 10, 2014. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2013.

 

6.   REORGANIZATION  

On February 21, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) which provided the transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, each a series of WT Mutual Fund, and the MTB Prime Money Market Fund, MTB Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund, and MTB New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, each a series of the Trust (the “Acquired Funds”) in exchange for shares of the series of the Trust shown below (the “Acquiring Funds”).

The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the Acquired Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective Acquired Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the Reorganization, except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

  Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market   Fund   MTB Tax-Free Money Market Fund   Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
MTB Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund
MTB New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund

In exchange for their shares, shareholders of the Acquired Funds received shares of the Acquiring Funds with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The following information summarizes the essential elements of the Reorganization as of March 9, 2012:

           $3,728,031,341     
            

 

 

   

The net assets of the Acquired Fund(s) included accumulated net realized gains/(losses) of $738 for the Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund and ($728) for the MTB Prime Money Market Fund.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring 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 Funds that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was completed. Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2011, the pro forma net investment income, net gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 would have been $688,854, $8,792, and $697,646, respectively.

7.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (four of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund at April 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period the ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We may share information when it is necessary and required to process a transaction or to service a customer relationship. For example, information may be shared with a company that provides account record keeping services or a company that provides proxy services to shareholders.

   

We may share information when it is required or permitted by law. For example, information may be shared in response to a subpoena or to protect you against fraud or with someone who has established a legal beneficial interest, such as a power of attorney.

   

We may disclose some or all of the information described above to companies that perform marketing or other services on our behalf. For example, we may share information about you with the financial intermediary (bank, investment bank or broker-dealer) through whom you purchased the Funds’ products or services, or with providers of marketing, legal, accounting or other professional services. The Funds will not, however, disclose a consumer’s account number or similar form of access number or access code for credit card, deposit or transaction accounts to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail or other marketing purposes.

Except as described above, the Funds do not share customer information. We will not rent, sell, trade, or otherwise release or disclose any personal information about you.

When the Funds share nonpublic customer information with third parties hired to facilitate the delivery of certain products or services to our customers, such information is made available for limited purposes and under controlled circumstances designed to protect our customers’ privacy. We require third parties to comply with our standards regarding security and confidentiality of such information. We do not permit them to use that information for their own or any other purposes, or rent, sell, trade or otherwise release or disclose the information to any other party. These requirements are reflected in written agreements between the Funds and the third party service providers.

The Funds protect your personal information in several ways. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

Each of the following sections explains an aspect of the Funds’ commitment to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.

Employee Access to Information:

Our Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, restricts the use of customer information and requires that it be held in the strictest of confidence.

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (“Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

The U.S. economic expansion continued during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, though its pace remained tepid. The production of goods and services grew 3.1%, 0.4%, and 2.5% faster than the rate of inflation during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. U.S. consumer spending propelled the gains, though consumers were still cautious amid the long, slow recovery from the Great Recession of 2007–2009. Retail and food sales, for example, amounted to $4.94 trillion during our fiscal year, up 2.5% in real (inflation-adjusted) terms over the preceding 12-month period. The housing market continued its nascent recovery, and inflation averaged about 1.1%.

Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, May 28, 2013

If consumers were feeling somewhat better, business managers remained wary. During the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, investments in U.S. plants, property, and equipment expected to last three years or more were made at lower rates than they had been made in the corresponding quarters five years earlier, as the recession was beginning. Employers likewise remained cautious in hiring. The number of U.S. private sector workers grew in all 12 months of our fiscal year, but the rate of private-sector job growth remained slow. At the end of April, there were still 2.0 million fewer private-sector workers than there had been at the labor market’s January 2008 peak. Much of the blame for soft business enthusiasm was laid at the doorsteps of Congress and the White House. Many business leaders said lawmakers needed to make meaningful changes in U.S. tax and spending policies to shore up the nation’s finances and to clarify the legal and regulatory environment.

Despite the modest rate of expansion, the U.S. recovery looked solid in relation to economic conditions in Europe, where a recession appeared to be worsening. Greece appeared likely to remain at least a near-term participant in the continent’s common currency experiment, but Spain, Portugal and Italy all joined Greece in struggling under heavy sovereign debts. Debate about the possibility of developing common fiscal policies and banking regulations continued, and investors were soothed by the European Central Bank President’s assurance that the bank would do “whatever it takes to preserve the euro.” In China, growth appeared to slow, though it remained strong in absolute terms. On balance, the global economy appeared to be expanding at a modest rate.

The Bond Markets

The good times rolled on in the U.S. bond market during our fiscal year. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.68%. The index tracks the overall market for taxable, investment-grade U.S. bonds and includes U.S. Treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The gain was propelled by strong results among corporate issues (+7.49%, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index), into which investors piled as the search for investment opportunities with meaningful yields continued.

The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, against which many other interest rates are set, declined from 1.91% at the end of April 2012 to a low of 1.43% in late July 2012 before climbing to 1.67% at the end of April 2013. The net 12-month decrease of a quarter of a percentage point boosted the prices of bonds across the market.

The S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index1 returned 4.71%. Demand for shares of municipal bond mutual funds, which account for much of the total demand for municipal bonds, accelerated as fears of widespread municipal bankruptcies dissipated and the rates of U.S. taxation on interest, dividends, and capital gains were allowed to revert in 2013 to prior, higher levels for higher-income taxpayers. Talk of limiting the federal tax exemption on municipal bond interest income, meanwhile, continued to be just talk.

The Stock Markets

Investors heard plenty about the “lost decade” of equity returns when the effects of the financial crisis were in full swing in early 2009. Commercials decrying 401(k) retirement plans as “201(k)s” promoted “gold 401(k)s” or day trading as solutions; “buy and hold,” it was said, was dead. Fast forward four years and anyone who abandoned equities may be wishing they hadn’t. The “lost decade” has turned into a pretty normal “found decade,” with a trailing 10-year total return for the S&P 500 Index of 7.88%, annualized. Granted, ten years ago we were emerging from the tech bubble; one must always be leery of the period selected in drawing conclusions from economic or investment data.

Stocks generally did very well during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013. Six broad stock market indices, which together offer a rough portrait of the world’s equity securities, returned between +3.97% and +19.39% in U.S. dollars during the fiscal year. The weakest return came from the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index8 (+3.97%) and the strongest return (+19.39%) was recorded by the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index9 of developed international stock markets. In between were the returns of the Russell Top 200 Index10 (+16.30%), which tracks mega-capitalization U.S. stocks, the Russell Midcap Index11 (+19.20%) of mid-cap U.S. stocks, the Russell 2000 Index12 (+17.69%) of small-cap U.S. stocks, and the S&P 500 Index13 (+16.89%), a widely watched gauge consisting mainly of large-cap U.S. stocks.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

S&P 500

Index13

  

Dow Jones

Industrial  Average14

  

NASDAQ

Composite Index15

  

MSCI All Country

World ex-US (Net)

Index16

16.89%    15.39%    10.78%    14.15%

The Trust, with assets of $13.3 billion as of April 30, 2013, gives investors access to every major asset class and sector.

WILMINGTON BROAD MARKET BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 3.93%* for Class A Shares and 4.32%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**, which had a total return of 3.68%, and its peer group, the Lipper Corporate A-Rated Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 6.34%.

This past fiscal year saw record low interest rates, slow but steady economic growth, low inflation, additional quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve and a continuation of the search for yield by investors in this ultra-low interest rate environment. The search for yield contributed to the corporate bond market producing its second best year of outperformance as measured by excess returns for 2012.

The tepid economic recovery continued as Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) grew at only a 1.8% rate for the year ended March 31, 2013, slightly slower than the prior year’s pace of 2.1%. Uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy, higher taxes and cuts in government spending brought on from the sequestration were some of the head-winds leading to slower growth. Consumers and business managers continue to remain cautious in their spending given these head-winds. On a positive note, the housing market is improving as evidenced by rising home prices and housing starts reaching a 5-year high.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the fiscal year and announced a 3rd round of quantitative easing last September that increased its monthly buying of mortgage and Treasury bonds to $85 billion per month. The Fed’s goal is to keep long-term interest rates low enough to continue to aid the housing market and stimulate the economy. The Fed has stated that it will maintain its policies until the unemployment rate declines to at least 6.5% and inflation moves up to 2%. Currently, the unemployment rate is at 7.5%, down from 8.1% a year ago. Although job growth has improved, it still remains slower than during past recoveries. The slack in the overall economy coupled with lower energy prices and wage growth of only 2% has caused the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) to decline to 1.1% for the past year. Given the Fed’s mandate to lower unemployment and allow inflation to rise, we expect the current low interest rate polices to be maintained for the foreseeable future.

The combination of low inflation, slow economic growth, the Fed’s accommodative policies and concerns over the European debt crisis caused 10-year treasury yields to decline to a record low yield of 1.38% last July. Over the past year, interest rates declined all along the yield curve. Longer-term interest rates declined more than shorter-term interest rates causing the yield curve to flatten. At April 30, 2013 the 10-year treasury yield was 1.67%, down 24 basis points from April 30, 2012.

Source: Bloomberg, May 1, 2013

The corporate bond market continued to benefit as investors sought higher yields. With corporate balance sheets flush with cash and improving earnings, investors required smaller risk premiums. For the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, the average risk premium as measured by Barclays declined by 50 basis points to 135 basis points for the average investment grade bond.

Source: Barclays Capital, May 1, 2013

Looking forward, we expect economic growth to remain slow, inflation to remain low and the Fed to continue with its low interest rate policies. However, as the unemployment rate moves lower we do expect interest rates to slowly move higher as the Fed will look to taper its Quantitative Easing.

Over the course of the year, of all the sectors of the taxable bond market, we viewed the corporate sector as the most attractive. As such, the Fund continued its overweight position in corporate securities versus the benchmark. This resulted in the Fund outperforming its benchmark for the year. In addition, because the 1- to 10-year corporate yield curve was deemed to be very steep, the Fund sold corporate securities with maturities less than one year, and purchased corporate securities with greater durations as well as higher yields. The Fund’s overall duration profile over the year was slightly shorter than the benchmark. As interest rates fell over the course of the year, our duration posture detracted from our relative performance versus the benchmark. Our overweight to the intermediate portion of the yield curve also aided our relative performance as the yield curve flattened over the period.

WILMINGTON INTERMEDIATE-TERM BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 2.90%* for Class A Shares, and 3.15%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of 3.23% and its peer group, the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 3.84%.

This past fiscal year saw record low interest rates, slow but steady economic growth, low inflation, additional quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve and a continuation of the search for yield by investors in this ultra-low interest rate environment.

The modest underperformance of the Fund relative to the benchmark can be attributed to the following factors. For the balance of the year, the Fund maintained an average duration that was shorter than the benchmark index. Therefore, the Fund did not benefit to the same degree as its benchmark from the lower level of interest rates. In addition, the Fund was positioned to benefit from a steeper yield curve and a rise in longer-term interest rates. As highlighted above, longer-term interest rates declined more than short-term interest rates due to lower than expected inflation and weaker than expected economic growth. This flattening of the Treasury yield curve also detracted from Fund performance. Finally, the Fund did benefit from its overweight position in corporate bonds. However, the Fund’s higher quality composition relative to the benchmark also detracted from performance.

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 1.66%* for Class A Shares and 1.91%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of 1.04%, and its peer group, the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 2.50%.

This past fiscal year saw record low interest rates, slow but steady economic growth, low inflation, additional quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve and a continuation of the search for yield by investors in this ultra-low interest rate environment. The search for yield contributed to the corporate bond market producing its second best year of outperformance as measured by excess returns for 2012.

The tepid economic recovery continued as Gross Domestic Products (“GDP”) grew at only a 1.8% rate for the year ended March 31, 2013, slightly slower than the prior year’s pace of 2.1%. Uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy, higher taxes and cuts in government spending brought on from the sequestration were some of the head-winds leading to slower growth. Consumers and business managers continue to remain cautious in their spending given these head-winds. On a positive note, the housing market is improving as evidenced by rising home prices and housing starts reaching a 5-year high.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the fiscal year and announced a 3rd round of quantitative easing last September that increased its monthly buying of mortgage and Treasury bonds to $85 billion per month. The Fed’s goal is to keep long-term interest rates low enough to continue to aid the housing market and stimulate the economy. The Fed has stated that it will maintain its policies until the unemployment rate declines to at least 6.5% and inflation moves up to 2%. Currently, the unemployment rate is at 7.5%, down from 8.1% a year ago. Although job growth has improved, it still remains slower than during past recoveries. The slack in the overall economy coupled with lower energy prices and wage growth of only 2% has caused the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) to decline to 1.1% for the past year. Given the Fed’s mandate to lower unemployment and allow inflation to rise, we expect the current low interest rate polices to be maintained for the foreseeable future.

The combination of low inflation, slow economic growth, the Fed’s accommodative policies and concerns over the European debt crisis caused 10-year treasury yields to decline to a record low yield of 1.38% last July. Over the past year, interest rates declined all along the yield curve. Longer-term interest rates declined more than shorter-term interest rates causing the yield curve to flatten. At April 30, 2013, the 10-year treasury yield was 1.67%, down 24 basis points from April 30, 2012.

The corporate bond market continued to benefit as investors sought higher yields. With corporate balance sheets flush with cash and improving earnings, investors required smaller risk premiums. For the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, the average risk premium as

measured by Barclays declined by 50 basis points to 135 basis points for the average investment grade bond.

Source: Barclays Capital, May 1, 2013

Looking forward, we expect economic growth to remain slow, inflation to remain low and the Fed to continue with its low interest rate policies. However, as the unemployment rate moves lower we do expect interest rates to slowly move higher as the Fed will look to taper its Quantitative Easing.

The Fund focused on investment grade corporate securities with three to five year maturities. Over the course of the year, the Fund sold lower yielding U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agencies, favoring higher yielding corporate securities. In addition, because the 1- to 5-year corporate yield curve was deemed to be very steep, the Fund sold corporate securities with maturities less than one year, and purchased corporate securities with greater durations as well as higher yields. The strategy of increasing our allocation to the corporate sector aided our outperformance to the benchmark. Recently, the Fund has increased its allocation to floating rate notes, anticipating higher future interest rates. The Fund’s overall duration profile over the year was slightly shorter than the benchmark. As interest rates fell slightly over the course of the year, our duration posture detracted from our relative performance versus the benchmark.

WILMINGTON SHORT DURATION GOVERNMENT BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 0.82%* for Class A Shares, and 1.07%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 1-3 Year U.S. Government Bond Index**, which had a total return of 0.55%, and its peer group, the Lipper Short U.S. Government Bond Funds Average***, which had a total return of 0.49%.

The outperformance of the Fund can be attributed to our strategy to overweight the higher yielding mortgage backed securities sector. In addition, our yield curve strategy to allocate some assets of the Fund to the intermediate portion of the yield curve also aided performance as the yield curve flattened with intermediate maturity yields falling more than short-term yields.

WILMINGTON MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 3.74%* for Class A Shares and 4.06%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index**, which had a total return of 4.71%, and its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 3.98%.

The business of forecasting the timing, size, and direction of interest rate changes is an uncertain one. For this reason, we manage our clients’ municipal fixed income portfolios without expressing a view about the future path of interest rates. We do, however, recognize that many investors do not view the markets in this mannaer through our practical and dispassionate lens. Sentiment can drive relative valuations and create opportunity for nimble investors, and attitudes seemed to turn decidedly negative toward interest rates during the quarter. Many investors have been poised for higher rates over the last three years. Those who shortened their portfolios’ duration—simply, their sensitivity to interest rates, which move in the opposite direction of bond prices—in anticipation of higher rates likely experienced lost opportunities as interest rates fell over that same period.

What has changed to drive up that negative sentiment? First, investors have become increasingly enamored by equities once again. Time heals all wounds, and we are now five years from the 2008 financial meltdown. Many investors have been willing to increase their exposures to riskier assets, such as equities, at a time when domestic stock markets are at record highs, finally breaking through pre-crisis levels. Second, several core economic indicators appear to be trending higher. As recently as the last week of March, many economic prognosticators were lifting their gross domestic product estimates for the first quarter. According to a monthly Bloomberg survey, economists now believe the economy grew at a 2.0% annualized rate during the quarter, up from a 1.5% projected rate in January. Certainly the employment estimates for March caught some economists off guard and, naturally, survey trends can reverse as new and revised data is released.

Nevertheless, investors are diversifying out of fixed income into equities, or shifting their bond portfolios to reduce their interest rate exposure. Evidence of these moves can be gleaned from the weekly flows into and out of tax-exempt bond mutual funds, as measured by Lipper: Investors were net sellers of tax-exempt bond funds, including long-term funds, during the six weeks ended May 1, but they were net buyers of intermediate-term funds.

The S&P Municipal Intermediate Index posted a 1.63% total return during the first four months of 2013, with mixed monthly results. Positive results in January and February (which themselves were a recovery from a weak December) were followed by a rise in rates and negative total returns in March. April reversed the March move and then some, as the Intermediate index was up nearly 1% for that month alone.

Total new municipal bond issuance reached about $117 billion year-to-date through the end of April versus $114 billion for the same period in 2012, about a 2.5% increase. The year started strong out of the gate, with January’s deals totaling almost $27 billion. That

was a 53% increase over January 2012. February was slightly ahead of last year’s pace, with about $24 billion in supply, and March lagged on a year-over-year basis at $30.4 billion. April’s issuance of $34 billion was on par with April 2012 issuance. Thus far, California tops the leader board with almost $19.4 billion in deals, while Texas, New York, and New Jersey follow with $10.7, $9.9, and $7.1 billion, respectively.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark. While the Fund and peer group performance are net of management fees, the benchmark returns reflect gross returns without any fee impact. One aspect hurting relative performance was the higher quality positions in the Fund. The lower rated bonds within the benchmark index (rated A and below) were stronger performers than the higher rated bonds (AA or better). The Fund was overweight inAAAbonds, offset by underweights in A and BBB rated bonds. Offsetting the negative impact of the quality positioning was an overweight to Healthcare bonds. The Fund’s nearly 5% overweight to high-grade healthcare bonds added to relative performance as the healthcare sector was one of the strongest performing sectors for the 12 months ending April 30, 2013.

WILMINGTON MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 2.92%* for Class A Shares and 3.31%* for Class I Shares, versus its primary benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index**, and its secondary benchmark, the Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index**, which had total returns of 4.71% and 5.21%, respectively. The Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, had a total return of 3.37%.

The business of forecasting the timing, size, and direction of interest rate changes is an uncertain one. For this reason, we manage our clients’ municipal fixed income portfolios without expressing a view about the future path of interest rates. We do, however, recognize that many investors do not view the markets through our practical and dispassionate lens. Sentiment can drive relative valuations and create opportunity for nimble investors, and attitudes seemed to turn decidedly negative toward interest rates during the quarter. Many investors have been poised for higher rates over the last three years. Those who shortened their portfolios’ duration—simply, their sensitivity to interest rates, which move in the opposite direction of bond prices—in anticipation of higher rates likely experienced lost opportunities as interest rates fell over that same period.

What has changed to drive up that negative sentiment? First, investors have become increasingly enamored by equities once again. Time heals all wounds, and we are now five years from the 2008 financial meltdown. Many investors have been willing to increase their exposures to riskier assets, such as equities, at a time when domestic stock markets are at record highs, finally breaking through pre-crisis levels. Second, several core economic indicators appear to be trending higher. As recently as the last week of March, many economic prognosticators were lifting their gross domestic product estimates for the first quarter. According to a monthly Bloomberg survey, economists now believe the economy grew at a 2.0% annualized rate during the quarter, up from a 1.5% projected rate in January. Certainly the employment estimates for March caught some economists off guard and, naturally, survey trends can reverse as new and revised data is released.

Nevertheless, investors are diversifying out of fixed income into equities, or shifting their bond portfolios to reduce their interest rate exposure. Evidence of these moves can be gleaned from the weekly flows into and out of tax-exempt bond mutual funds, as measured by Lipper: Investors were net sellers of tax-exempt bond funds, including long-term funds, during the six weeks ended May 1, but they were net buyers of intermediate-term funds.

The S&P Municipal Intermediate Index posted a 1.63% total return during the first four months of 2013, with mixed monthly results. Positive results in January and February (which themselves were a recovery from a weak December) were followed by a rise in rates and negative total returns in March. April reversed the March move and then some, as the Intermediate index was up nearly 1% for that month alone.

Total new municipal bond issuance reached about $117 billion year-to-date through the end of April versus $114 billion for the same period in 2012, about a 2.5% increase. The year started strong out of the gate, with January’s deals totaling almost $27 billion. That was a 53% increase over January

2012. February was slightly ahead of last year’s pace, with about $24 billion in supply, and March lagged on a year-over-year basis at $30.4 billion. April’s issuance of $34 billion was on par with April 2012 issuance. Thus far, California tops the leader board with almost $19.4 billion in deals, while Texas, New York, and New Jersey follow with $10.7, $9.9, and $7.1 billion, respectively.

The Fund underperformed both its benchmark and its Lipper peer group. While the Fund and peer group performance are net of management fees, the benchmark returns reflect gross returns without any fee impact. The largest driver of the return difference between the benchmark index and the Fund was the underperformance of Maryland (MD) bonds versus the national market during the 12 months ending April 30. While the national intermediate index generated a 4.71% return, the MD component of that index returned nearly 100 basis points less at 3.73%. Beyond that large difference, there were other factors impacting the Fund’s relative performance, both positive and negative. Higher grade bonds underperformed lower grade bonds during the year and the Fund’s overweights in AA and AAA rated bonds were a further drag on performance. A positive influence on relative performance was the Fund’s significant overweight in healthcare bonds. That sector was among the strongest performers in the benchmark index and the Fund’s nearly 11% overweight was beneficial.

WILMINGTON NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 3.48%* for Class A Shares and 3.74%* for Class I Shares, versus its primary benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index**, and its secondary benchmark, the Barclays Capital New York Tax-Exempt Index***, which had total returns of 4.71% and 4.85%, respectively. Its peer group, the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average****, had a total return of 3.40%.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, but outperformed its Lipper peer group. While the Fund and peer group performance are net of management fees, the benchmark returns reflect gross returns without any fee impact. The largest driver of the return difference between the primary benchmark index and the Fund was the underperformance of New York (NY) bonds versus the national market during the 12 months ending April 30. While the national intermediate index generated a 4.71% return, the NY component of that index returned over 50 basis points less at 4.16%. Beyond that large difference, there were other factors impacting the Fund’s relative performance, both positive and negative. Higher grade bonds underperformed lower grade bonds during the year and the Fund’s overweights in AA and AAA rated bonds were a further drag on performance. A positive influence on relative performance was the Fund’s significant overweight in appropriated bonds. That sector was among the strongest performers in the benchmark index and the Fund’s nearly 22% overweight was beneficial.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund (concluded)

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $126,743,011. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $3,134,453. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $3,857,391 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $722,938

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2013 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $103,084,260. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $4,625,188. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $5,276,491 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $651,303.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $6,214,409 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $57,025.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2013 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – Fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

   

investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);

 

   

for fixed income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and

 

   

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. (“Trustees”)

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities, based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

 

April 30, 2013 / ANNUAL REPORT


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)      91   

 

 

Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Inflation/deflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation–Protected Securities are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Accretion and Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions – The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

The Funds may transact in “To Be Announced Securities” (“TBAs”). As with other delayed delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue TBAs at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Funds agree to accept any security that meets specified criteria. For example, in a TBA mortgage transaction, the Fund and seller would agree upon the issuer, interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. The Funds record TBAs on the trade date utilizing information associated with the specified terms of the transactions as opposed to the specific mortgages. TBAs are marked to market daily and begin earning interest of the settlement date. Losses may occur due to the fact the actual underlying mortgages received may be less favorable than those anticipated by the Funds.

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Dollar Roll Transactions – The Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Intermediate-Term Bond Fund and Broad Market Bond Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC, in which the Funds sell mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept substantially similar (same type, coupon, maturity) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions, which are treated as purchases and sales, will not exceed 12 months. There were no dollar roll transactions outstanding during the year ended April 30, 2013.

Lending of Portfolio Securities – The Trust has entered into an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”

As of April 30, 2013, the Funds listed below had securities with the following values on loan:

 

Fund   

    

Value of
Securities

     Value of

Broad Market Bond Fund

Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund

     3,694,502         3,798,041   

The Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to the tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, market discount reclass, partnership adjustments, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and distributions recognition on income distribution payable.

As of April 30, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the periods ended 2012, 2011, and 2010, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

At April 30, 2013, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund invest a substantial portion of their assets in issuers located in one state, they will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2013, 12.2% for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and 39.3% for New York Municipal Bond Fund of the total market value of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of the total market value of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 4.2% for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and 21.9% for New York Municipal Bond Fund.

 

7.

LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNYM. The termination date of this LOC is March 10, 2014. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2013.

REORGANIZATION

REORGANIZATION - FISCAL YEAR 2012

On February 21, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization” to transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Broad Market Fund, Wilmington Short/Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, and Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund, each a series of WT Mutual Fund, and the MTB U.S. Government Bond Fund, a series of the Trust (the “Acquired Funds”) in exchange for shares of the series of the Trust (the “Acquired Funds”) in exchange for shares of the series of the Trust shown below (“the Acquiring Funds”).

The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the Acquired Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective Acquired Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the Reorganization,except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

The net assets of the Acquired Fund included net unrealized appreciation on investments of $5,205,025 and accumulated net realized gains of $2,566.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring 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 May 1, 2011, the pro forma net investment income, net gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 would have been $9,552,266, $8,006,754 and $18,927,561, respectively.

The net assets of the Acquired Fund included net unrealized depreciation on investments of $4,641,551 and accumulated net realized losses of $2,927,170, respectively.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring 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 May 1, 2011, the pro forma net investment income, net loss on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 would have been $4,262,763, $(90,446) and $2,966,683.

In exchange for their shares (A Shares and Institutional Shares), shareholders of the WT Municipal Bond Fund received an identical number of shares of the corresponding class (Class A and Class I) of the Municipal Bond Fund, with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Municipal Bond Fund had no operations prior to March 9, 2012. The Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund investment objectives, policies and limitations were identical to those of the Municipal Bond Fund. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the operating history of the WT Municipal Bond Fund prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the financial statements and financial highlights.

REORGANIZATION - FISCAL YEAR 2013

On June 22, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plans of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) which provided for the transfer of all the assets of the Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and the Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, each a series of the Trust, (the “Acquired Funds”) for shares of the Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). Shareholders approved the Plans at a meeting held on November 15, 2012 and the reorganization closed on December 3, 2012 based on net asset values determined as of the close of business on November 30, 2012. The acquisitions were accomplished through tax-free exchanges of assets and shares.

The purpose of this transaction was to combine the three Funds with the same Investment Manager and with substantially similar investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. Due to the small size of the Acquired Funds, and the comparatively better prospects for asset growth of the Acquiring Fund, it was believed that the shareholders’ best interests would be served by reorganizing the Acquired Funds into the Acquiring Fund.

For financial reporting purposes, the Municipal Bond Fund was deemed to be the accounting survivor.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring 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 May 1, 2012, the pro forma net investment income, net gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013 would have been $5,548,565, $20,218,458 and $25,767,023, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

 

10.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that, there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund (seven of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund at April 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SHAREHOLDER PROXY RESULTS

A special meeting of the shareholders of the Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund (the “PA Fund”) and the Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (the “VA Fund;” the PA Fund and VA Fund may be referred to as the “Target Funds” or a “Target Fund”), each a series of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), was held at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 15, 2012, at the Trust’s principal executive offices at 111 South Calvert Street, 26th Floor, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (the “Meeting”). The purpose of the Meeting was to consider and act upon the following proposal, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

The proposal: To approve a Plan of Reorganization providing for the (i) transfer of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of each Target Fund to the Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (“Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust, in exchange for shares of the designated classes of Acquiring Fund; and (ii) the distribution of the shares of designated classes of Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of each Target Fund in liquidation of each of the Target Funds.

Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization each of the Target Funds would be acquired by Acquiring Fund, as follows:

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (“Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

The U.S. economic expansion continued during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, though its pace remained tepid. The production of goods and services grew 3.1%, 0.4%, and 2.5% faster than the rate of inflation during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. U.S. consumer spending propelled the gains, though consumers were still cautious amid the long, slow recovery from the Great Recession of 2007–2009. Retail and food sales, for example, amounted to $4.94 trillion during our fiscal year, up 2.5% in real (inflation-adjusted) terms over the preceding 12-month period. The housing market continued its nascent recovery, and inflation averaged about 1.1%.

Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, May 28, 2013

If consumers were feeling somewhat better, business managers remained wary. During the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, investments in U.S. plants, property, and equipment expected to last three years or more were made at lower rates than they had been made in the corresponding quarters five years earlier, as the recession was beginning. Employers likewise remained cautious in hiring. The number of U.S. private-sector workers grew in all 12 months of our fiscal year, but the rate of private-sector job growth remained slow. At the end of April, there were still 2.0 million fewer private-sector workers than there had been at the labor market’s January 2008 peak. Much of the blame for soft business enthusiasm was laid at the doorsteps of Congress and the White House. Many business leaders said lawmakers needed to make meaningful changes in U.S. tax and spending policies to shore up the nation’s finances and to clarify the legal and regulatory environment.

Despite the modest rate of expansion, the U.S. recovery looked solid in relation to economic conditions in Europe, where a recession appeared to be worsening. Greece appeared likely to remain at least a near-term participant in the continent’s common currency experiment, but Spain, Portugal and Italy all joined Greece in struggling under heavy sovereign debts. Debate about the possibility of developing common fiscal policies and banking regulations continued, and investors were soothed by the European Central Bank President’s assurance that the bank would do “whatever it takes to preserve the euro.” In China, growth appeared to slow, though it remained strong in absolute terms. On balance, the global economy appeared to be expanding at a modest rate.

The Bond Markets

The good times rolled on in the U.S. bond market during our fiscal year. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.68%. The index tracks the overall market for taxable, investment-grade U.S. bonds and includes U.S. Treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The gain was propelled by strong results among corporate issues (+7.49%, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index), into which investors piled as the search for investment opportunities with meaningful yields continued.

The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, against which many other interest rates are set, declined from 1.91% at the end of April 2012 to a low of 1.43% in late July 2012 before climbing to 1.67% at the end of April 2013. The net 12-month decrease of a quarter of a percentage point boosted the prices of bonds across the market.

The S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index1 returned 4.71%. Demand for shares of municipal bond mutual funds, which account for much of the total demand for municipal bonds, accelerated as fears of widespread municipal bankruptcies dissipated and the rates of U.S. taxation on interest, dividends, and capital gains were allowed to revert in 2013 to prior, higher levels for higher-income taxpayers. Talk of limiting the federal tax exemption on municipal bond interest income, meanwhile, continued to be just talk.

The Stock Markets

Investors heard plenty about the “lost decade” of equity returns when the effects of the financial crisis were in full swing in early 2009. Commercials decrying 401(k) retirement plans as “201(k)s” promoted “gold 401(k)s” or day trading as solutions; “buy and hold,” it was said, was dead. Fast forward four years and anyone who abandoned equities may be wishing they hadn’t. The “lost decade” has turned into a pretty normal “found decade,” with a trailing 10-year total return for the S&P 500 Index of 7.88%, annualized. Granted, ten years ago we were emerging from the tech bubble; one must always be leery of the period selected in drawing conclusions from economic or investment data.

Stocks generally did very well during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013. Six broad stock market indices, which together offer a rough portrait of the world’s equity securities, returned between +3.97% and +19.39% in U.S. dollars during the fiscal year. The weakest return came from the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index8 (+3.97%) and the strongest return (+19.39%) was recorded by the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index9 of developed international stock markets. In between were the returns of the Russell Top 200 Index10 (+16.30%), which tracks mega-capitalization U.S. stocks, the Russell Midcap Index11 (+19.20%) of mid-cap U.S. stocks, the Russell 2000 Index12 (+17.69%) of small-cap U.S. stocks, and the S&P 500 Index13 (+16.89%), a widely watched gauge consisting mainly of large-cap U.S. stocks.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

S&P 500

16.89%    15.39%    10.78%    14.15%

The Trust, with assets of $13.3 billion as of April 30, 2013, gives investors access to every major asset class and sector. Whether you are looking for a comfortable retirement, to fund a child’s higher education, pursue tax-free income17, stay ahead of inflation, or keep your cash working, one or more of the Trust’s Funds may provide you with the diversification, flexibility and professional management you need.

Sincerely,

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP GROWTH FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 5.39%* for Class A Shares and 5.92%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index**, which had a total return of 12.60%.

Over the twelve month period which ended April 30, 2013, the stock market reached a new all time high as measured by the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”). The crossover point was on April 10, 2013 when the S&P 500 rose through the 1576 level that was attained on October 11, 2007. At that time, little did investors know that the Great Recession was looming, and that the S&P 500 would be more than cut in half to its ultimate low point of 666 on March 6, 2009. Fortunately, since then, the Federal Reserve has implemented repeated rounds of monetary easing with the latest version, called Quantitative Easing, still going strong. The result has been near zero money market rates and record low interest rates in U.S. Treasury notes and other high quality bonds. This has forced investors to move into riskier asset classes such as junk bonds and higher yielding equities in the pursuit of yield. Corporations have also been active buyers of their own shares, as borrowing costs fell well below the cost of equity and, in many cases, below the dividend yield itself.

The resulting rise in equity values has served to boost retirement accounts and re-liquefy consumer balance sheets, which in turn has boosted consumer confidence (at least among higher level consumers). Of course, mortgage rates have also dropped to all time lows and finally begun to stimulate the housing market. Up until this year, “Wall Street” seemed to be ahead of “Main Street” as employment trends remained sluggish. This too seems to have shifted into positive mode as payroll employment gains have averaged 173,000 over the past twelve months. The unemployment rate is now down to 7.5%, and a regular feature of the monthly payroll employment report is upward revision to prior month job totals. This is a strong indication that the financially led recovery is finally beginning to benefit mainstream America. That gives us confidence that the economic recovery is taking on an aura of sustainability that we had not felt previously. Despite record low interest rates, investors had been so disillusioned by the equity market pummeling of 2008 and the subsequent (European-related) corrections in 2010 and 2011 that money flows to equity mutual funds had remained largely negative.

        Source:   Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 3, 2013

As growth rates have moderated, the attractiveness of lower risk, lower duration equities with yield characteristics have been bid up versus their cyclical counterparts. Within the equity market, value may be found with cyclical stocks with low valuations versus defensive companies with above average dividend yields and higher valuations. If growth rates accelerate at all, a shift towards longer duration cyclical exposure should take place. One of the remaining pieces of the puzzle is business confidence among small to medium enterprises which is critical for continued hiring and investment for the broad economy. Even here there appears to be good news with a sharp upturn since November that followed many months of decline. It remains to be seen whether or not we

are on the verge of a new secular bull market in equities. The final test will be the durability of equity prices once the Federal Reserve begins pull back on monetary stimulus. If the stock market can withstand the competition from gradually rising interest rates, both the real economy and the financial markets can be viewed as re-entering a prolonged period of recovery and prosperity. In our opinion, valuations in the equity market are reasonable enough that, even with a continuation of only modest mid-single-digit earnings growth, the stock market can continue to rise.

The Fund was managed by two different portfolio management teams, each with Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. In June 2012, the old portfolio management team which had managed the Fund for several years was replaced with a new portfolio management team. Unfortunately, the strategies utilized by both portfolio management teams underperformed the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, during the periods they managed assets for the Fund.

During the period from May 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, the Fund returned -7.21% trailing the benchmark which returned -3.87%. This underperformance was broad based across all sectors, except health care and utilities, which performed in line with the benchmark. The bigger underperforming sectors within the Fund were consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy and information technology. In consumer discretionary, the worst performing stocks were Borg Warner in the autos industry and Target, Lululemon, Nike and Limited Brands in the retail sector. Outperforming was the position in homebuilder D.R. Horton. In consumer staples, the larger underperformers were Green Mountain Coffee, Estee Lauder and Walmart which were somewhat offset by good relative performance by Whole Foods Market and Pepsi. Poor performance in the energy sector was punctuated by underperformance by oil service companies Halliburton and National Oilwell Varco, as well as coal company Alpha Natural Resources. In technology, poor performance by Qualcomm, Riverbed, Juniper and AMD contributed to the underperformance.

For the period July 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 14.14%, which trailed the benchmark return of 17.14%. The largest underperformance within the Fund came from the technology and industrial sectors while the health care sector posted positive relative performance. Within technology, overweight positions in Apple and EMC contributed to the underperformance. Industrials underperformed due to insufficient weight in aerospace companies like Boeing and Honeywell along with underweighted positions in transportation stocks. The health care sector benefitted from positive performance from bio-technology positions such as Gilead Sciences, Celgene, Regeneron and Biogen Idec all of which were up between 50% and 100% over this period.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The total return shown assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The total return for Class A Shares was -0.39%, adjusted for the Fund’s maximum sales charge.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap growth segment. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics.

Quantitative Easing (QE) is government monetary policy occasionally used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital, in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company. There are many techniques that can be used to determine value; some are subjective and others are objective.

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment of a stock.

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP STRATEGY FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 16.25%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index**, which had a total return of 17.17%.

The Fund attempts to outperform the Russell 1000 Index by overweighting growth or value companies based on recommendations from the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team (IST). During the period May 2012 through October 2012, the Fund was positioned to track a custom index of 60% growth and 40% value companies. Over this period, the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 4.7% and the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned -0.9%. The tactical overweight to growth had a -0.6% impact on relative performance.

At the end of the October meeting, the IST recommended removing the overweight to growth companies for domestic large cap portfolios. The fund was rebalanced to track the Russell 1000 Index. For the period November 2012 to February 2013 the Russell 1000 Index returned 8.9% and the Fund returned 8.7%. The majority of the 0.2% underperformance over the period is explained by expenses and transaction costs.

At the February IST meeting, the proprietary U.S. Large-cap style model continued to signal neutral on style. The IST voted to follow the models and recommended maintaining the neutral position. However, the team wanted to increase exposure to mid-cap stocks which the momentum models had been favoring. The IST recommended overweighting mid-cap companies relative to the Russell 1000 Index. The Russell 1000 Index can be divided into the Russell Top 200 Index of mega-cap stocks and the Russell Midcap Index which represents the 800 mid-cap companies. The weight of the Russell Midcap Index has been approximately 30% of the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund was rebalanced at the end of February to target the IST recommended benchmark of 65% Russell Top 200 and 35% Russell Midcap. For the period March 2013 to April 2013, the Russell Top 200 Index returned 5.8% and the Russell Midcap Index returned 5.6%. The tactical tilt toward mid cap had no impact on relative performance for the period.

The IST and Investment Research Team are researching additional tactics to improve the risk adjusted return of the Fund.

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP VALUE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 10.65%* for Class A Shares and 10.91%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index,** which had a total return of 21.80%.

Over the twelve month period which ended April 30, 2013, the stock market reached a new all time high as measured by the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”). The crossover point was on April 10, 2013 when the S&P 500 rose through the 1576 level that was attained on October 11, 2007. At that time, little did investors know that the Great Recession was looming, and that the S&P 500 would be more than cut in half to its ultimate low point of 666 on March 6, 2009. Fortunately, since then, the Federal Reserve has implemented repeated rounds of monetary easing with the latest version, called Quantitative Easing, still going strong. The result has been near zero money market rates and record low interest rates in U.S. Treasury notes and other high quality bonds. This has forced investors to move into riskier asset classes such as junk bonds and higher yielding equities in the pursuit of yield. Corporations have also been active buyers of their own shares, as borrowing costs fell well below the cost of equity and, in many cases, below the dividend yield itself.

The resulting rise in equity values has served to boost retirement accounts and re-liquefy consumer balance sheets, which in turn has boosted consumer confidence (at least among higher level consumers). Of course, mortgage rates have also dropped to all time lows and finally begun to stimulate the housing market. Up until this year, “Wall Street” seemed to be ahead of “Main Street” as employment trends remained sluggish. This too seems to have shifted into positive mode as payroll employment gains have averaged 173,000 over the past twelve months. The unemployment rate is now down to 7.5%, and a regular feature of the monthly payroll employment report is upward revision to prior month job totals. This is a strong indication that the financially led recovery is finally beginning to benefit mainstream America. That gives us confidence that the economic recovery is taking on an aura of sustainability that we had not felt previously. Despite record low interest rates, investors had been so disillusioned by the equity market pummeling of 2008 and the subsequent (European-related) corrections in 2010 and 2011 that money flows to equity mutual funds had remained largely negative.

As growth rates have moderated, the attractiveness of lower risk, lower duration equities with yield characteristics have been bid up versus their cyclical counterparts. Within the equity market, value may be found with cyclical stocks with low valuations versus defensive companies with above average dividend yields and higher valuations. If growth rates accelerate at all, a shift towards longer duration cyclical exposure should take place. One of the remaining pieces of the puzzle is business confidence among small to medium enterprises which is critical for continued hiring and investment for the broad economy. Even here there appears to be good news with a sharp upturn since November that followed many months of decline. It remains to be seen whether or not we are on the verge of a new secular bull market in equities. The final test will be the durability of equity prices once the Federal Reserve begins pull back on monetary stimulus. If the stock market can withstand the competition from gradually rising interest rates, both the real economy and the

financial markets can be viewed as re-entering a prolonged period of recovery and prosperity. In our opinion, valuations in the equity market are reasonable enough that, even with a continuation of only modest mid-single-digit earnings growth, the stock market can continue to rise.

The Fund was managed by two different portfolio management teams during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. The old portfolio management team, with NWQ Investment Management Company LLC, which had managed the Fund for several years was replaced in December 2012 with a new portfolio management team with Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Unfortunately, the strategies utilized by both portfolio management teams underperformed the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, during the periods they managed the Fund.

During the period from May 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Fund returned -0.45% trailing significantly the benchmark which returned 6.84%. Stock selection and, to a lesser extent, sector positioning, contributed to relative underperformance in the Fund. Positioning in the information technology sector was the leading detractor in the Fund during the period. Information technology was the worst performing sector in the benchmark over the span, and the Fund’s sizeable overweight proved a headwind to relative performance. Stock selection in the sector also hurt performance, led by underperforming positions in Hewlett-Packard, CA Inc., and Microsoft. The energy sector was the second leading detractor in the period, with holdings reacting to movement in energy prices. Apache Corp., Canadian Natural Resources, Talisman Energy, Occidental Petroleum, and Noble Energy were all represented on the list of leading detractors for the period. The contribution from the financial sector was mixed, as an overweight to the outperforming sector was countered by a shortfall in stock selection. Looking at individual contributors, strength in the Fund’s bank holdings, particularly Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, unfortunately was offset by weakness in the Fund’s insurance holdings, including Metlife and Unum. Stock selection and sector positioning in the utilities sector was a source of positive contribution in the period, as an underweight to the sector, and a strong contribution from NRG energy, combined to benefit relative performance. Healthcare also contributed, led by strength in the ADR of French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi. Sanofi was the leading individual contributor in the Fund over the period.

For the period January 1, 2013 through April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 11.42% which trailed the benchmark return of 14.01%. The largest underperformance came from technology, financials and health care sectors. Basic materials outperformed during this period. Within technology, the majority of the underperformance came from Apple computer and Qualcomm along with no position in Hewlett Packard which outperformed during this period. The financial sector underperformance came from the commercial bank industry with underperformance from BB&T and US Bancorp. Relative outperformance in the basic material sector came mainly from having no weight in the poorly performing metals and mining industry.

WILMINGTON MID-CAP GROWTH FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 9.55%* for Class A Shares and 9.70%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Mid Cap Growth Index**, which had a total return of 14.42%.

Since the beginning of the U.S. equity market recovery in 2009, there has been a discernible and puzzling rhythm to returns. Each spring, investors have been confronted with economic data that suggests the recovery is faltering and the stock market pulls back on concerns that corporate earnings have peaked. As each year progressed, the data firmed, investors’ confidence in the outlook for growth recovered, their appetite for equities returned, and the market resumed its upward path.

Since the market lows of 2008 and 2009, we have retained to our benefit a consistent pro-growth tilt, which explains the broad contours of the Fund’s performance this past year. Broadly speaking, our year divided into two periods: a very disappointing pullback –both absolute and relative to the benchmark – from May through mid-July 2012 and a subsequent strong recovery – again, both absolute and relative – from mid-July to the end of April 2013. The early period of underperformance accounts for more than the entire benchmark-relative performance deficit for the year and was attributable primarily to the Fund being more exposed to cyclical stocks and sectors than the benchmark (and the peer group). This worked to our disadvantage as the market became defensive due to concerns regarding the sustainability of global economic growth. This explains, for example, the bulk of underperformance in our Industrials holdings, which was our weakest sector even though no single stock in the sector had a large impact on overall results.

In July 2012, the pattern reversed; the Fund’s pro-growth positioning worked to our advantage, but the rebound was insufficient to recover the ground we lost in the early months of the year. The difference was not due to overall positioning; in fact, the impact of sector allocation was only slightly negative. Rather, adverse stock selection explains the gap between the downturn and the rebound. To some extent, this reflects investors’ pronounced preference for value sectors and high(er) dividend-paying stocks, even within the growth universe and even as the overall market ascends to all-time highs. Stocks of companies with attractive growth characteristics have not always been rewarded if they cannot promise impatient investors a near-term payoff.

However, it is still true that the Fund’s performance was harmed by several stocks that disappointed investors’ expectations. Whiting Petroleum Corporation, Coach, Inc., ITT Educational Services, Inc., and Adtran, Inc. stand out. (A short-seller attack on Herbalife Ltd. impaired the performance of the stock to the detriment of the Fund.) Unfortunately, the impact of these, and other, underperforming stocks offset notable successes such as Stratasys Ltd., MAP Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, CBS Corporation, and LKQ Corporation.

Our mandate is to construct a portfolio of U.S. midcap companies with superior growth prospects. At the end of a disappointing year, we remind ourselves that we cannot control the periodic growth

scares that have swept the market. Ultimately, they make for distressing weeks and months, but have had little impact on performance. What does have a durable impact is our ability to identify companies with superior growth prospects and attractive valuations, and invest in them. A hospitable environment for growth stocks would support our efforts, but we believe a patient, disciplined approach to company and stock analysis to identify successful growth companies will support our manadate.

At that time, little did investors know that the Great Recession was looming, and that the S&P 500 would be more than cut in half to its ultimate low point of 666 on March 6, 2009. Fortunately, since then, the Federal Reserve has implemented repeated rounds of monetary easing with the latest version, called Quantitative Easing, still going strong. The result has been near zero money market rates and record low interest rates in U.S. Treasury notes and other high quality bonds. This has forced investors to move into riskier asset classes such as junk bonds and higher yielding equities in the pursuit of yield. Corporations have also been active buyers of their own shares, as borrowing costs fell well below the cost of equity and, in many cases, below the dividend yield itself.

The resulting rise in equity values has served to boost retirement accounts and re-liquefy consumer balance sheets, which in turn has boosted consumer confidence (at least among higher level consumers). Of course, mortgage rates have also dropped to all time lows and finally begun to stimulate the housing market. Up until this year, “Wall Street” seemed to be ahead of “Main Street” as employment trends remained sluggish. This too seems to have shifted into positive mode as payroll employment gains have averaged 173,000 over the past twelve months. The unemployment rate is now down to 7.5%, and a regular feature of the monthly payroll employment report is upward revision to prior month job totals. This is a strong indication that the financially led recovery is finally beginning to benefit mainstream America. That gives us confidence that the economic recovery is taking on an aura of sustainability that we had not felt previously. Despite record low interest rates, investors had been so disillusioned by the equity market pummeling of 2008 and the subsequent (European-related) corrections in 2010 and 2011 that money flows to equity mutual funds had remained largely negative.

As growth rates have moderated, the attractiveness of lower risk, lower duration equities with yield characteristics have been bid up versus their cyclical counterparts. Within the equity market, value may be found with cyclical stocks with low valuations versus defensive companies with above average dividend yields and higher valuations. If growth rates accelerate at all, a shift towards longer duration cyclical exposure should take place. One of the remaining pieces of the puzzle is business confidence among small to medium enterprises which is critical for continued hiring and investment for the broad economy. Even here there appears to be good news with a sharp upturn since November that followed many months of decline. It remains to be seen whether or not we are on the verge of a new secular bull market in equities. The final test will be the durability of equity prices once the Federal Reserve begins pull back on monetary stimulus. If the stock market can withstand the competition

from gradually rising interest rates, in our opinion both the real economy and the financial markets could be viewed as re-entering a prolonged period of recovery and prosperity. In our opinion, valuations in the equity market are reasonable enough that, even with a continuation of only modest mid-single-digit earnings growth, the stock market can continue to rise.

The Fund was managed by two different portfolio management teams, each with Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. The old portfolio management team which had managed the Fund for several years was replaced with a new portfolio management team in June 2012. The strategy utilized by the old portfolio management team underperformed the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, during the period they managed the Fund. The new portfolio management team slightly exceeded the benchmark during the period it managed the Fund.

During the period from May 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, the Fund returned -7.05% trailing the benchmark which returned -2.33%. The largest underperformance came from consumer discretionary, health care and industrials while positive performance came from the energy sector. In the discretionary sector, the larger underperformers were Red Robin, Gourmet Burgers, Arctic Cat, Francesca’s Holdings, Sonic Automotive, Body Central, Penske Automotive, and Orient Express Hotels. Lumber Liquidators was one of the few significant positive performers in the discretionary sector. Within health care, LCA Vision and Starr Surgical were significant underperformers while an underweighted position in top performer Pharmacyclics and no position in Onyx Pharmaceutical contributed to underperformance that was slightly offset by an outperforming position in Questor Pharmaceuticals. Within the industrial sector, Triumph Group, Kirby, TrueBlue, United Rentals, Wesco, Owens Corning, and H&E Equipment Services were all significant underperformers which were offset by positive performance from US Airways and Armstrong World Industries. In the energy sector, positive performance was achieved from underweighted or no weight in several underperforming energy companies such as Cheniere Energy, Energy XXI and Rosetta Resources.

For the period July 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, the Fund returned 18.86% which slightly outperformed the benchmark return of 18.44%. The largest outperformance came from the consumer discretionary, technology and financial sectors while the industrial sector posted negative relative performance. Within consumer discretionary, media companies Sinclair Broadcast and Nexstar Broadcasting led performance along with retailer Steve Madden. Financials were led by capital markets companies Virtus Financials, Alliance Bernstein and Medallion Financial along with REITs Newcastle Investment and Glimcher Realty Trust. In technology, positive performance came from acquisition target Brightpoint as well as IT services company Maximus and software company Manhattan Associates which were offset by poor performance from Pulse Electronics and Adtran. The model utilized by the portfolio management team has been favoring market factors like lower valuation, higher growth rates of earnings and positive price momentum during this period.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small-cap growth segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics.

Quantitative Easing (QE) is government monetary policy occasionally used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital, in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company. There are many techniques that can be used to determine value; some are subjective and others are objective.

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment of a stock.

WILMINGTON SMALL-CAP STRATEGY FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 18.07%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index**, which had a total return of 17.69%.

The Fund attempts to outperform the Russell 2000 Index by overweighting growth or value companies based on recommendations from the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team (IST). During the period May 2012 through October 2012, the IST style recommendation for domestic small-cap equities was to overweight growth companies. The Russell 2000 Value Index returned 2.8% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned -0.7% during this period, so the style tilt had a -0.3% impact on relative performance.

At the October 2012 meeting of the IST, the team voted to remove the style tilt for domestic small-cap portfolios. The Fund was rebalanced to track to Russell 2000 Index at the end of October. IST advice remained neutral on style tilt through February 2013. During this period, the Fund returned 11.9%, slightly outperforming the Russell 2000 Index return of 11.8%.

The IST voted in February 2013 to target a benchmark of 65% value and 35% growth companies for domestic small-cap equities. The Fund was rebalanced at the end of February to target the new custom benchmark. The value-overweight remained through the end of April. During March and April, the Russell 2000 Value Index narrowly outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index by 0.3%. The style tilt had essentially no impact on relative return.

At the April IST meeting, the proprietary U.S. small-cap style model continued to favor value stocks. The IST voted to follow the models and recommended maintaining the overweight to value companies in domestic small cap-equity portfolios. The IST and Investment Research Team are researching additional tactics to improve the risk adjusted return of the Fund.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for

Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

92   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Wilmington Funds

April 30, 2013

 

1.   ORGANIZATION

Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 23 portfolios, 6 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 17 funds are presented in separate reports.

 

 

  Fund

  Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund*(“Small-Cap Strategy Fund”)(d)    The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

 

  (d)   Diversified
  *   Effective March 9, 2012, the Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (collectively the “WT Funds”), each a series of WT Mutual Fund, were reorganized into the Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the WT Funds’ financial and performance history prior to the reorganization has been carried forward and is reflected in the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the reorganization.

The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I and Institutional Class. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

On April 13, 2013, Class C shares of the Small-Cap Growth Fund were terminated after the conversion to Class A of the Fund. On April 13, 2013, Class A shares of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund were terminated after the conversion to Class I of the Funds. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – Fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

   

for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;

 

   

in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

 

   

investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);

 

   

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”).

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In computing its NAV, the Funds value foreign securities using the latest closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

 

April 30, 2013  /  ANNUAL REPORT


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)     93   

The Funds’ policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities, based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, equity securities (including exchange traded securities and other open-end regulated investment companies) are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared and as follows:

 

  Fund   

 

Dividends
Declared

  

Dividends  

Paid

  Large-Cap Growth Fund    Annually    Annually
  Large-Cap Strategy Fund    Quarterly    Quarterly
  Large-Cap Value Fund    Quarterly    Quarterly
  Mid-Cap Growth Fund    Annually    Annually
  Small-Cap Growth Fund    Annually    Annually
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund    Quarterly    Quarterly

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Warrants and Rights – Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired. Equity-linked warrants are purchased in order to own local exposure to certain countries in which the Funds are not locally registered. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair value procedures.

Lending of Portfolio Securities – The Trust has entered into an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending

 

 

ANNUAL REPORT  /  April 30, 2013


 

94   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”

As of April 30, 2013, the Funds listed below had securities with the following values on loan:

 

  Fund   Value of
Securities
on Loan
  Value of
Collateral
  Large-Cap Growth Fund       $  1,944,149          $  1,947,562   
  Large-Cap Strategy Fund       8,764,736         8,951,934  
  Mid-Cap Growth Fund       28,985,432         29,114,640  
  Small-Cap Growth Fund       17,437,829         17,897,479  
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund       9,905,197         10,161,606  

The Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.

 

3.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for income recognition on expiration of capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, REIT dividend reclasses and distributions recognition on income distribution payables.

As of April 30, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the periods ended 2012, 2011, and 2010, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

At April 30, 2013, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

  Small-Cap Strategy Fund               12,806,893                                 12,806,893  

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets described in Note 7 and to the extent unrealized gains and losses that existed at the time of the reorganization are realized, the capital loss carryforwards may further be limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization.

The Funds used capital loss carryforwards as follows to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended April 30, 2013:

 

  Fund   Capital Loss

  Large-Cap Growth Fund       $  3,805,569

  Mid-Cap Growth Fund       3,259,899  
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund       5,508,704  

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Post-October, Post-December and Late Year losses deferred to May 1, 2013 are as follows:

4.   ADVISORY FEES, SERVICING FEES, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) provides sub-advisory services to the Funds. WFMC and WTIA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of M&T Bank Corporation. For its services, the Funds pay WFMC an annual investment advisory fee, accrued and paid daily, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as described below. WFMC, not the Funds, pays WTIA for its services.

 

  Fund   Advisory Fee  
Annual Rate
  Large-Cap Growth Fund       0.85 %
  Large-Cap Strategy Fund       0.50 %
  Large-Cap Value Fund       0.70 %
  Mid-Cap Growth Fund       0.85 %
  Small-Cap Growth Fund       0.85 %
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund       0.55 %

WFMC had entered into a Sub-Advisory agreement with NWQ Investment Management Company LLC (“NWQ”) to manage the Large-Cap Value Fund, subject to supervision by the Advisor and the Trustees, and in accordance with the investment goal and restrictions of the Fund. For their service, NWQ received a fee of 0.45%, accrued daily and paid monthly, based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets that they managed for the Fund, which was paid by the Fund.

Effective December 13, 2012, the sub-advisory agreement with NWQ was terminated and WFMC assumed management of all the assets of the Large-Cap Value Fund. The advisory fee paid to WFMC was changed from 0.25% to 0.70% of average daily net assets of the Fund effective with the termination of NWQ.

WFMC and the Funds’ distributor and shareholder service providers have contractually agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses through August 31, 2013, so that total annual fund operating expenses paid by the Funds (not including the effects of dividends or interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, or other extraordinary expenses expressed as an annualized percentage of average daily net assets), will not exceed the expense limitations set forth below.

 

  Fund   Contractual Expense
Limitations
    Class A   Class I
  Large-Cap Growth Fund       1.42 %       1.04 %
  Large-Cap Strategy Fund       N/A         0.25 %
  Large-Cap Value Fund       1.32 %       1.04 %
  Mid-Cap Growth Fund       1.24 %       1.08 %
  Small-Cap Growth Fund       1.47 %       1.25 %
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund       N/A         0.31 %

Administrative Fee – The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) provides the Trust with fund administration services. Effective October 1, 2012, WFMC replaced WTIA as Co-Administrator for the Funds. WFMC in its role as co-administrator provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services necessary to operate the Funds. These services were provided for at an aggregate annual fee as specified below.

 

  Administrator   Maximum
Fee
    Average Aggregate Daily Net
Assets of the Trust
  WFMC     0.033   on the first $5 billion
    0.020   on the next $2 billion
    0.016   on the next $3 billion
    0.015   on assets in excess of $10 billion
  BNYM     0.0285   on the first $500 million
    0.0280   on the next $500 million
    0.0275   on assets in excess of $1 billion

WFMC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. WFMC can modify or terminate its voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended April 30, 2013, WTIA and WFMC did not waive any administrative personnel and services fee.

The Funds may reduce the maximum amount of shareholder service fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including M&T) may waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

6.   LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNYM. The termination date of this LOC is March 10, 2014. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2013.

 

7.   REORGANIZATION

On February 21, 2012 the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund and Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund, each a series of WT Mutual Fund, (collectively the “WT Funds”) in exchange for shares of Large-Cap Strategy Fund and Small-Cap Strategy Funds (each an “Acquiring Fund”), respectively. The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the WT Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal

 

 

April 30, 2013  /  ANNUAL REPORT


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)     99   

income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective WT Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the Reorganization, except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

In exchange for their shares (A Shares and Institutional Shares), shareholders of the WT Funds received an identical number of shares of the corresponding class (A Shares and I Shares) of the Acquiring Funds, with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Acquiring Funds had no operations prior to March 9, 2012. The WT Funds investment objectives, policies and limitations were identical to those of the Acquiring Funds. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the operating history of the WT Funds prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

8.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Funds are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. For example, certain creditors of Tribune Co., which has recently emerged from bankruptcy, have filed actions against former Tribune shareholders, (collectively, the “Lawsuits”) who tendered their shares when Tribune went private in 2007 as part of a leveraged buyout (“LBO”). These creditor plaintiffs seek the return of all proceeds received by the former Tribune shareholders. The Tribune-related actions are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in a Multi-District Litigation (“MDL”). There are thousands of defendants in the MDL, including the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund. The suits all seek the same thing: disgorgement of the amounts received by the former Tribune shareholders as part of the LBO, but by different legal theories. Although management currently believes that the resolution of the claims against the Funds, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse impact on the Funds’ financial positions, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters could change in the future.

Litigation counsel to the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund in the Lawsuits does not believe that it is possible, at this early stage in the proceedings, to predict with any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or quantify the ultimate exposure to the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund arising from the Lawsuits. Until the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund can do so, no reduction of their net asset values will be made relating to the Lawsuits. However, even if the plaintiffs in the Lawsuits were to obtain the full recovery they seek, the amount would be less than 0.5% of each of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund’s net asset value at this time. Neither the Large-Cap Strategy Fund nor the Mid-Cap Growth Fund can predict what their size might be at the time that the cost of the Lawsuits might be quantifiable and thus potentially deducted from their net asset value. Therefore, at this time, those buying or redeeming shares of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund will pay or receive, as the case may be, a price based on net asset value of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund, with no adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys’ fees and costs relating to the Lawsuits will be taken as expenses by the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund as incurred and in a manner similar to any other expense incurred by the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund.

 

9.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

 

10.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Growth Fund and Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (six of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Growth Fund and Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund at April 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

PRIVACY POLICY AND NOTICE

OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTOR

June 8, 2012

The Wilmington Funds, their distributor and their agents (referred to as “the Funds”, “we” or “us”) recognize that consumers (referred to as “you” or “your”) expect us to protect both your assets and financial information. We respect your right to privacy and your expectation that all personal information about you or your account will be maintained in a secure manner. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, security and integrity of client and shareholder information. We want you to understand the Funds’ policy that governs the handling of your information, how the Funds gather information, how that information is used and how it is kept secure.

We may disclose some or all of the information described above to companies that perform marketing or other services on our behalf. For example, we may share information about you with the financial intermediary (bank, investment bank or broker-dealer) through whom you purchased the Funds’ products or services, or with providers of marketing, legal, accounting or other professional services. The Funds will not, however, disclose a consumer’s account number or similar form of access number or access code for credit card, deposit or transaction accounts to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail or other marketing purposes.

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (“Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

The U.S. economic expansion continued during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013, though its pace remained tepid. The production of goods and services grew 3.1%, 0.4%, and 2.5% faster than the rate of inflation during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively. U.S. consumer spending propelled the gains, though consumers were still cautious amid the long, slow recovery from the Great Recession of 2007–2009. Retail and food sales, for example, amounted to $4.94 trillion during our fiscal year, up 2.5% in real (inflation-adjusted) terms over the preceding 12-month period. The housing market continued its nascent recovery, and inflation averaged about 1.1%.

Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, May 28, 2013

If consumers were feeling somewhat better, business managers remained wary. During the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, investments in U.S. plants, property, and equipment expected to last three years or more were made at lower rates than they had been made in the corresponding quarters five years earlier, as the recession was beginning. Employers likewise remained cautious in hiring. The number of U.S. private sector workers grew in all 12 months of our fiscal year, but the rate of private-sector job growth remained slow. At the end of April, there were still 2.0 million fewer private-sector workers than there had been at the labor market’s January 2008 peak. Much of the blame for soft business enthusiasm was laid at the doorsteps of Congress and the White House. Many business leaders said lawmakers needed to make meaningful changes in U.S. tax and spending policies to shore up the nation’s finances and to clarify the legal and regulatory environment.

Despite the modest rate of expansion, the U.S. recovery looked solid in relation to economic conditions in Europe, where a recession appeared to be worsening. Greece appeared likely to remain at least a near-term participant in the continent’s common currency experiment, but Spain, Portugal and Italy all joined Greece in struggling under heavy sovereign debts. Debate about the possibility of developing common fiscal policies and banking regulations continued, and investors were soothed by the European Central Bank President’s assurance that the bank would do “whatever it takes to preserve the euro.” In China, growth appeared to slow, though it remained strong in absolute terms. On balance, the global economy appeared to be expanding at a modest rate.

The Bond Markets

The good times rolled on in the U.S. bond market during our fiscal year. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 3.68%. The index tracks the overall market for taxable, investment-grade U.S. bonds and includes U.S. Treasury and agency securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The gain was propelled by strong results among corporate issues (+7.49%, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index), into which investors piled as the search for investment opportunities with meaningful yields continued.

The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, against which many other interest rates are set, declined from 1.91% at the end of April 2012 to a low of 1.43% in late July 2012 before climbing to 1.67% at the end of April 2013. The net 12-month decrease of a quarter of a percentage point boosted the prices of bonds across the market.

The S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index1 returned 4.71%. Demand for shares of municipal bond mutual funds, which account for much of the total demand for municipal bonds, accelerated as fears of widespread municipal bankruptcies dissipated and the rates of U.S. taxation on interest, dividends, and capital gains were allowed to revert in 2013 to prior, higher levels for higher-income taxpayers. Talk of limiting the federal tax exemption on municipal bond interest income, meanwhile, continued to be just talk.

The Stock Markets

Investors heard plenty about the “lost decade” of equity returns when the effects of the financial crisis were in full swing in early 2009. Commercials decrying 401(k) retirement plans as “201(k)s” promoted “gold 401(k)s” or day trading as solutions; “buy and hold,” it was said, was dead. Fast forward four years and anyone who abandoned equities may be wishing they hadn’t. The “lost decade” has turned into a pretty normal “found decade,” with a trailing 10-year total return for the S&P 500 Index of 7.88%, annualized. Granted, ten years ago we were emerging from the tech bubble; one must always be leery of the period selected in drawing conclusions from economic or investment data.

Stocks generally did very well during the 12 months ended April 30, 2013. Six broad stock market indices, which together offer a rough portrait of the world’s equity securities, returned between +3.97% and +19.39% in U.S. dollars during the fiscal year. The weakest return came from the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index8 (+3.97%) and the strongest return (+19.39%) was recorded by the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index9 of developed international stock markets. In between were the returns of the Russell Top 200 Index10(+16.30%), which tracks mega-capitalization U.S. stocks, the Russell Midcap Index11 (+19.20%) of mid-cap U.S. stocks, the Russell 2000 Index12 (+17.69%) of small-cap U.S. stocks, and the S&P 500 Index13 (+16.89%), a widely watched gauge consisting mainly of large-cap U.S. stocks.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

For more complete information, please download the Funds’ prospectus available on www.wilmingtonfunds.com or call 1-800-836-2211 for a copy. You should consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before you invest. Information about these and other important subjects is in the Funds’ prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The index performance quoted is for illustrative purposes only and is not representative of any specific investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss.

An investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility.

High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Bond prices are sensitive to change in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their price. Real estate is a cyclical industry that is sensitive to interest rates, economic conditions (both nationally and locally), property tax rates and other factors. Commodity-related securities may be subject to additional risks and broad market price fluctuations. High yield securities present greater risk of loss than higher quality debt securities and may be subject to greater price volatility. Investments such as mutual funds that focus on alternative strategies are subject to increased risk and loss of principal and are not suitable for all investors.

Diversification and asset allocation do not assure profit or protect against loss. Investment markets are volatile and no investment strategy can guarantee that the desired result will be achieved. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Any investment in the Fund should be part of an overall investment program rather than, in itself, a complete program. Because certain Funds invest in underlying mutual funds or other managed strategies, an investor in the Fund will bear the management fees and operating expenses of the “Underlying Strategies” in which the Fund invests. The total expenses borne by an investor in the Fund will be higher than if the investor invested directly in the Underlying Strategies, and the returns may therefore be lower.

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER INTERNATIONAL FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 10.17%* for Class A Shares and 10.22%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International – All Country World ex-US Index (Net, USD) (“MSCI ACWI ex-US”)** which had a total return of 14.15%. The appreciation of the U.S. Dollar detracted 4.5%, as the MSCI ACWI ex-US in local currency terms, returned 18.7%. The MSCI ACWI ex-US is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed and emerging market equity performance, excluding the U.S. On a net-of-fees basis, both tactical asset allocation decisions and overall manager selection had a negative effect on the Fund’s relative returns.

During the period, developed countries outperformed emerging markets. The MSCI World ex-US Index (Net), a proxy for developed country large/mid-cap equity returns, registered a return of 17.5% in U.S. Dollar (“dollar”) terms and 23.0% in local currency terms. By contrast, the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index returned only 4.0% in dollar terms, against 5.7% for local currency.

Within developed countries, Japan produced a 22.0% return in dollar terms and 48.8% in Japanese Yen (yen) terms. The difference, 26.8%, reflected the depreciation of the yen against the dollar. A new Japanese government, under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, came into power at the end of 2012, pledging monetary expansion. The result has been two-fold: a sharp depreciation of the yen and a dramatic rise in Japanese stock indexes, as they adjusted upward to reflect expectations for improved Japanese exporter competitiveness and rising corporate earnings.

For the Eurozone in aggregate, the return in dollar terms was 21.2%, as against 21.6% in local currency returns. However, returns varied across Eurozone markets. Most of Europe has been confronting a recession or near-recession, caused in part by the fiscal austerity policies adopted by Eurozone peripheral countries to contain their sovereign debt loads. High equity returns mainly reflect expectations for renewed positive economic growth in 2014.

In spite of very high unemployment, especially among youth, Spain registered a 26.8% return during the year. The government of Mariano Rajoy continued to implement banking sector consolidation and was allowed extra time to reach fiscal targets. The strong net return likely reflects expectations of an industrial rebound, given that unit labor costs are falling. Already, automobile companies are making plans to locate operations in Spain.

The other major Eurozone peripheral country, Italy, registered a 13.9% return. This lower return is likely due to months of political and economic uncertainty following a partially deadlocked election. This uncertainty has ended, for the time being, with the formation of a new grand coalition government under Prime Minister Enrico Letta. Both the new Italian government and the existing French government under Francois Hollande are seeking to soften the austerity regime favored by Germany, seeking to replace it with one that is more pro-growth in policy orientation.

The current French government had reversed, in part, its predecessor’s austerity policies. France produced net returns of 22.5% during the year. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, registered a 16.4%

return. Like much of the rest of the Eurozone, Germany has been in recession. However, as with the rest of the Eurozone, the equities markets appear to be looking to 2014 for positive economic growth.

The UK registered a relatively weak 11.7% return. In some part this was due to weak exports to Europe and continued fiscal constraint by the coalition conservative - liberal democrat government. However, the UK index is influenced by the listing in London of a number of global metals and oil companies. Weak commodities prices contributed to depressing UK returns.

Within large-cap developed market space, the value style, represented by the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net), returned 19.7% while the growth style, represented by the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index (Net) returned 15.3%. Typically, when a pronounced global cyclical economic upswing is expected, value would outperform growth significantly. The difference between the value and growth returns suggests that the market expects only a mild economic upswing. The international developed country small-cap sector, represented by the MSCI World ex-US Small Cap Index (Net), registered a 14.7% return, versus 17.5% for MSCI World ex-US Index, which represents the large/mid-cap sector.

Within emerging markets, there was particularly wide variation among markets. Brazil, Russia, Korea, and South Africa all posted negative returns in dollar terms: -5.3%, -6.6%, -1.0%, and -3.8%, respectively. Further, China registered a relatively small positive return of 4.1%. Brazil and South Africa suffered from some government policy stumbles. The Russian economy depends on energy revenues, and oil prices had weakened in 2013. The Korean market is dominated by export manufacturers, which suffered from the improved competitive position of their Japanese exporters. Regarding China, the market was awaiting the newly installed leadership team’s elaboration of economic and financial policies. Other emerging markets demonstrated far better returns. Indonesia, Mexico, India and Taiwan returned 17.0%, 16.7%, 11.8% and 10.4%, respectively. Turkey, the Philippines and Thailand posted more spectacular returns of 46.5%, 43.1% and 21.9%, respectively.

On November 13, 2012, the Fund added Northern Cross LLC (“Northern Cross”) as a new sub-advisor and terminated the sub-advisory services of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. and Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. Northern Cross holds an actively managed 70-80 stock portfolio, owning names for the long-term (7-10 years) that have both franchise power and ability to grow their earnings.

The Fund allocates assets between developed and emerging market countries based on the advice from Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors’ Investment Strategy Team, which recommended tactical asset allocation at the end of the period of 67% allocation to developed large-cap countries, 0% to developed small-cap countries, and 33% allocation to emerging markets. In addition, the allocation to developed large-cap markets was 50% value and 50% growth. At the start of the period, the Fund’s assets represented a 73% allocation to developed large-cap countries (42% value/58% growth), 0% to developed small-cap countries, and 27% allocation to emerging markets. The Fund’s persistent overweight allocation to emerging

markets throughout the period had a negative effect on the Fund’s overall relative performance as noted previously by the large difference in returns between developed countries and emerging markets.

The Fund currently has a sub-advisor lineup consisting of the following asset managers: Barings International Investment Limited (“Barings”), Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“DFA”), LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), Northern Cross, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”). WTIA allocates assets of the Fund among the sub-advisors.

The emerging markets portfolio managed by Parametric significantly outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Index. The main positive drivers in explaining its relative results were its structural underweight to Brazil, investments in non-benchmark countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, and Nigeria, and its overweight allocation to Turkey and Mexico. Its underweight allocations to India, Taiwan, and the Czech Republic had the most meaningful negative influence on relative returns.

The all country large-cap value portfolio managed by LSV outperformed the MSCI All Country World ex-US Value Index (Net). As its investment style is to maintain a country and sector-neutral bias, most of its positive relative results were based on stock selection, especially having overweight allocation to stocks that have high earnings yield (earnings-to-market price ratio) and high dividend yield (dividends paid-to-market price ratio).

The developed country large-cap core portfolio managed by Barings trailed the MSCI World ex-US Index (Net). Its relatively poor performance resulted from a number of factors including having an allocation to emerging market stocks, which trailed in the period, and poor stock selection within Japan. Another explanatory factor was its overweight allocation to gold mining stocks which were owned resulting from its thesis that the price of gold would remain elevated as a result of global quantitative easing. Instead, the price of gold declined and correspondingly so did the stock price of gold miners. In addition, one of the miners it owned and later sold, Centamin Egypt, was adversely impacted by political issues in Egypt.

The developed country large-cap growth portfolio managed by Northern Cross trailed the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index (Net). Most of the relative underperformance can be attributed to its large underweight allocation to Japan, one of the best performing countries in the period. Positive contributions from underweight positions in Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands were offset by losses due to overweight positions in Brazil, Denmark, Malaysia, Sweden, and China. It also experienced weak stock selection in Hong Kong (overweight position in Cheung Kong Holdings) and Japan (overweight position in Fanuc) while experiencing good stock selection in France (overweight position in L’Oreal).

The developed country large-cap value portfolio managed by DFA significantly underperformed the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net). The portfolio’s relative performance was driven primarily by the specific industries and countries owned as a result of its portfolio construction process. At the sector level, its structural bias to own high book-to-market price stocks resulted in a larger relative portfolio allocation to materials and energy, the two weakest performing sectors during the period and a corresponding underweight allocation to healthcare, the best performing sector. At the country level, allocation and differences in individual holdings in Canada, Australia, and Japan also had a negative impact.

The earnings yield (which is the inverse of the share price/earnings - P/E ratio) shows the percentage of each dollar invested in the stock that was earned by the company. The earnings yield is used by many investment managers to determine optimal asset allocations.

Dividend Yield (dividends paid-to-market price ratio) is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock.

Book-to-Market is a ratio used to find the value of a company by comparing the book value of a firm to its market value. Book value is calculated by looking at the firm’s historical cost, or accounting value. Market value is determined in the stock market through its market capitalization.

WILMINGTON ROCK MAPLE ALTERNATIVES FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 5.56%* for Class A Shares and 5.91%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index**, which had a total return of 4.02%.

Fund Highlights

The Fund’s performance met objectives relative to the benchmark and the expectations of the portfolio management team. Manager cross correlation was low, and return attribution was well diversified from both a strategic and geographic standpoint. The Fund’s annualized volatility for the fiscal year was 2.68%, and the realized beta to S&P 500 was 0.13.

Performance by Strategy

All of the long/short equity managers contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. Our European focused manager, Calypso Capital Management, LP, saw the strongest gains as it had a number of single name wins particularly in the energy/oil services sector. Our dividend income focused manager, ADAR Investment Management, LLC, generated gains through both income and price appreciation, and rotated out of a number of equities that hit price targets. Our two small- and mid-cap equities focused managers, Madison Street Partners, LLC and TIG Advisors, LLC, also made positive contributions albeit on higher volatility. The four funded equity managers continue to exhibit low correlation to one another.

Our event driven strategy, accessed through the Arbitrage Fund (an underlying fund), detracted modestly from returns. Over the year, we became increasingly bearish on the strategy given light merger activity and prevalence of cash deals (which are hedged with a broad equity index short position and as a result are costly in a rising equity environment). As a result, we reduced the strategy’s allocation during the year.

Our corporate credit strategies contributed positively to returns. The strategies, one portion being accessed through an allocation to Acuity Capital Management, LLC and the other through an allocation to the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, remain focused on short-duration higher credit-quality high yield issuers. As a result of improvements in the debt markets, a high proportion of the underlying bonds were refinanced, which made an important contribution to the Fund’s overall total return.

Options Arbitrage, managed by Parametric Risk Advisers, was a strong performer in calendar year 2012, given that realized volatility was consistently below implied volatility. Given the historic low levels of both realized and implied volatility we have seen in 2013, calendar year to date the strategy has given back some of its profits.

Global Macro was the Fund’s worst performing strategy and detracted from performance. The manager struggled given the high correlation in risk assets driven by risk-on/risk-off sentiments. Earlier this year, Evercore Wealth Management, LLC (Evercore) stopped acting as a sub-advisor to the Fund as Evercore decided to exit the separately managed account business. The strategy exhibited low correlation to our other managers and dampened volatility during calendar year 2012, but reduced overall performance.

Commentary & Outlook

At this point, the portfolio management team has a constructive view on both equity and credit markets. We feel that much of the sensitivity to macro headlines has abated and it is an increasingly positive environment for security selection and soft-catalyst strategies. We believe that constrained global growth will lead to greater dispersion among individual equities. This may also result in greater corporate activity which would be a tail wind for our event strategy. We believe that there is room for further advances in corporate credit, despite the strong rally, given the quality of corporate balance sheets. In a lower-volatility environment with an advancing equity market, we would expect our options arbitrage strategy to have modestly lower returns. We intend to continue to run the portfolio well diversified from an exposure and thematic standpoint.

(HFRX). The performance results reported by HFRX are asset weighted. The index is unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Alpha is a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. The excess return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index is a fund’s alpha.

Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX)—VIX is designed to measure the market’s expectation of 30-day volatility implied by at-the-money S&P 500® Index option prices. VIX estimates expected volatility by averaging the weighted prices of S&P 500® puts and calls over a wide range of strike prices. As such, VIX does not serve as a benchmark for returns, but rather as an indication of opportunities that may be present in the marketplace when utilizing volatility-based, or volatility management, strategies. There is no established return benchmark for volatility or options strategies. International investing involves special risks including currency risk, political risks, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company. There are many techniques that can be used to determine value; some are subjective and others are objective.

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER REAL ASSET FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 10.33%* for Class A Shares and 10.58%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital World Government Inflation Linked Bond Index (hedged, USD) (Barclays World GILB Index)** and its Blended Index which had total returns of 6.71% and 12.24%, respectively. The Blended Index is currently a blend of 50% Barclays World GILB Index, 35% S&P Developed Property Index**, and 15% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (“DJUBSCI”)**. During this period, the Fund’s managers and investments subtracted value, while tactical asset allocation decisions to underweight global inflation linked bonds (ILBs) and overweight real estate related securities during the last two months of the fiscal period added value.

The Fund maintained a neutral stance during the year relative to its blended benchmark up until the end of February 2013 when it shifted to a 10% overweight to real estate and a 10% tactical underweight to global ILBs. In aggregate, the tactical tilts have helped performance relative to the blended benchmark thus far in March and April of 2013.

The current weightings of 45% real estate related securities, 40% global ILBs and 15% commodities reflect our belief that a slowly growing economy, low interest rates, available financing and restrained inflation may benefit real estate to a greater extent than ILBs or commodities.

Real yields on ILBs fell during the period as measured by the Barclays World GILB Index due in part to slow economic growth, central bank intervention and limited inflation expectations. They crossed into negative territory and ended the period at -0.4%, leading global ILBs to a +6.7% gain for the fiscal year. The portfolio of developed-and emerging-market ILBs managed by Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”) outperformed the Fund’s ILB benchmark during this time (+9.0% versus +6.7%), benefiting from a structural allocation to emerging market ILBs which rose +8.8% measured by the Barclays Capital Emerging Market GILB (hedged USD) Index** on positive real yields and higher realized inflation than developed markets. The portfolio of global, developed-market ILBs managed by HSBC Global Asset Management (“HSBC”) underperformed its benchmark during the period (+5.8% versus +6.7% for the Barclays World GILB Index). HSBC’s portfolio trailed the Barclays World GILB Index primarily due to holding shorter maturity bonds on average, which had a negative impact on performance when real rates declined during the period, pushing up bond prices.

Global real estate securities were up +28.5% during the fiscal year as measured by the S&P Developed Property Index as real estate markets continued their recovery and the space remained a favorite among investors looking for yield. Performance was driven by non-U.S. markets, principally Asia (+43.8%) followed by Europe (+23.3%) and the U.S. (+19.4%). The portfolio of global real estate securities managed by EII Capital Management, Inc. (“EII”) returned +22.7% during the period while the portfolio of global real estate securities managed by CBRE Clarion Securities (“CBRE”) returned +24.4%. Both trailed the index performance of +28.5% primarily due to a focus on higher quality names while the biggest rallies occurred in smaller capitalization Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and those with the highest dividend yields.

Finally, commodities, the smallest allocation in the Fund, were down -5.3% over the period as measured by the DJUBSCI. During this time, most underlying commodities suffered declines as investors pulled funds from commodity investments on the back of slow global growth and concerns about further slowing in the emerging market countries such as China specifically. Declines were led by soft commodities, such as coffee, cocoa, sugar and fruit, (-18.9%) while natural gas was far and away the largest gainer at +34.7%. The PIMCO CommodityPLUS Strategy Fund (the “PIMCO Fund”), to which the Fund has exposure, outpaced the DJUBSCI, returning -1.5%. The PIMCO Fund invests in derivative securities linked to commodity indices, while the collateral portion of the portfolio is actively managed by investing primarily in domestic ILBs in an attempt to add incremental returns, along with additional inflation hedging. The PIMCO Fund’s excess return, therefore, is primarily attributable to the collateral portfolio beating the return on T-Bills, which is the implied collateral return for the DJUBSCI. The Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund (the “Credit Suisse Fund”), to which the Fund has exposure, has a similar structure to the PIMCO Fund, but instead of investing the collateral primarily in domestic ILBs, it invests primarily in enhanced cash securities. During the fiscal year, the Credit Suisse Fund slightly trailed the DJUBSCI (-5.8% versus -5.3%). The Fund also had exposure to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield Diversified (“DBLCIOY Diversified”) index** via exposure to the PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund. During the period, the DBLCIOY Diversified underperformed the DJUBSCI (-7.3% vs. -5.3%).

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION CONSERVATIVE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.97%* for Class A Shares and 6.13%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index** and the Conservative Blended Index**, which returned 3.68% and 5.49%, respectively.

The Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund is managed by first replicating tactical asset allocation decisions made by Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. and then overlaying upon the asset allocation framework, active and passive managers that are closely benchmarked against the tactical asset allocations. The portfolio managers seek to add value through the combination of tactical asset allocation and manager selection. The primary focus of the portfolio managers is in beating the Conservative Blended Index.

Over the past year, the Class I Shares outperformed the Conservative Blended Index by 0.6%. Over the past 12 months, tactical decisions added about 0.8% above the Fund’s relative performance to the Conservative Blended Index. Manager performance was able to add about 1.5% over the entire fiscal year. Both manager performance and tactical decisions were able to add value sufficient to overcome the roughly 1.7% in fees charged by the Fund and the various mutual funds employed by the Fund. During the year, the Fund faced an environment that was marked by systemic risks from Europe and fiscal policy confrontation on the domestic front. This promoted the very volatile “risk on/risk-off” environment that generated very volatile return patterns. Towards the end of the fiscal year, markets became more manageable and the Fund moved from a tactically defensive posture to a more aggressive position. Tactical decisions which helped the Fund included an exposure to the U.S. Corporate High Yield market which outperformed the investment grade bond market and an underweight to hedge funds which were unable to beat either equities or domestic investment grade fixed income. Offsetting this to a degree were allocations to emerging market equities and developed international equities where markets struggled against weaker economic conditions than existed in the United States.

The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, comprised of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. investment

grade corporate debt and mortgage-backed obligations. The Conservative Blended Index is calculated by the investment advisor and represents the weighted returns for the following indices: 53% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index; 7.5% HFRX Absolute Index; 7.5% HFRX Global Index; 7.2% Russell 3000 Index; 7% Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex-US (unhedged) Index; 5% Barclays Capital World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (hedged USD); 4.8% MSCI All Country World ex-US Investable Market Index; 3.5% S&P Global Developed Property Index; 1.5% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index; and 3% Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill Index. The indices are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

International investing involves special risks including currency risk, political risks, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

Due to its strategy of investing in other mutual funds, this Fund may incur certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present with a direct investment in the underlying funds.

Risk-On/Risk-Off - is an investment setting in which price behavior responds to, and is driven by, changes in investor risk tolerance. Risk-on/risk-off refers to changes in investment activity in response to global economic patterns. During periods when risk is perceived as low, risk-on/risk-off theory states that investors tend to engage in higher-risk investments (i.e. stocks and high-yield bonds). When risk is perceived as high, investors have the tendency to gravitate toward lower-risk investments (i.e. cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury securities).

Investment grade - is a rating that indicates that a municipal or corporate bond has a relatively low risk of default. Bond rating firms, such as Standard & Poor’s, use different designations consisting of upper- and lower-case letters ’A’ and ’B’ to identify a bond’s credit quality ratings. ’AAA’ and ’AA’ (high credit quality) and ’A’ and ’BBB’ (medium credit quality) are considered investment grade. Credit ratings for bonds below these designations (’BB’, ’B’, ’CCC’, etc) are considered lower credit quality.

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION MODERATE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 8.12%* for Class A Shares and 8.29%* for Class I Shares, versus its current benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index**, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**, and the Moderate Blended Index**, which had total returns of 17.21%, 3.68%, and 9.57%, respectively.

The Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund is managed by first replicating tactical asset allocation decisions made by Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. and then overlaying upon the asset allocation framework, active and passive managers that are closely benchmarked against the tactical asset allocations. The portfolio managers seek to add value through the combination of tactical asset allocation and manager selection. The primary focus of the portfolio managers is in beating the Moderate Blended Index.

Over the past year, the Class I Shares underperformed the Moderate Blended Index by 1.3%. Over the past 12 months tactical decisions added about 0.6% above the Fund’s relative performance to the Moderate Blended Index. Manager performance was only able to add about 0.1% over the entire fiscal year. While both manager performance and tactical decisions were able to add value, they were not sufficient to overcome the roughly 1.8% in fees charged by the Fund and the various mutual funds employed by the fund. During the year, the Fund faced an environment that was marked by systemic risks from Europe and fiscal policy confrontation on the domestic front. This promoted the very volatile “risk on/risk-off” environment that generated very volatile return patterns. Towards the end of the fiscal year, markets became more manageable and the Fund moved from a tactically defensive posture to a more aggressive position. Tactical decisions which helped the Fund included an exposure to the U.S. Corporate High Yield market which outperformed the investment grade bond market and an underweight to hedge funds which were unable to beat either equities or domestic investment grade fixed income. Offsetting this to a degree were allocations to emerging market equities and developed international equities where markets struggled against weaker economic conditions than existed in the United States.

The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index measuring both the capital price changes and income provided by the underlying universe of securities, comprised of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. investment grade corporate debt and mortgage-backed obligations. The Moderate Blended Index is calculated by the investment advisor and represents the weighted returns for the following indices: 27% Russell 3000 Index; 20% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index; 18% MSCI All Country World ex-US Investable Market Index; 7.5% HFRX Absolute Index; 7.5% HFRX Global Index; 7% Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex-US (unhedged)Index; 5% Barclays Capital World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (hedged USD); 3.5% S&P Global Developed Property Index; 1.5% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index; and 3% Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill Index. The indices are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

International investing involves special risks including currency risk, political risks, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

Due to its strategy of investing in other mutual funds, this Fund may incur certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present with a direct investment in the underlying funds.

Risk-On/Risk-Off - is an investment setting in which price behavior responds to, and is driven by, changes in investor risk tolerance. Risk-on/risk-off refers to changes in investment activity in response to global economic patterns. During periods when risk is perceived as low, risk-on/risk-off theory states that investors tend to engage in higher-risk investments (i.e. stocks and high-yield bonds). When risk is perceived as high, investors have the tendency to gravitate toward lower-risk investments (i.e. cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury securities).

Investment grade - is a rating that indicates that a municipal or corporate bond has a relatively low risk of default. Bond rating firms, such as Standard & Poor’s, use different designations consisting of upper- and lower-case letters ’A’ and ’B’ to identify a bond’s credit quality ratings. ’AAA’ and ’AA’ (high credit quality) and ’A’ and ’BBB’ (medium credit quality) are considered investment grade. Credit ratings for bonds below these designations (’BB’, ’B’, ’CCC’, etc) are considered lower credit quality.

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION AGGRESSIVE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 12.26%* for Class A Shares and 12.62%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index**, MSCI All Country World ex-US Investable Market Index**, and the Aggressive Blended Index**, which returned 17.21%, 14.18%, and 14.38%, respectively.

The Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund is managed by first replicating tactical asset allocation decisions made by Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. and then overlaying upon the asset allocation framework, active and passive managers that are closely benchmarked against the tactical asset allocations. The portfolio managers seek to add value through the combination of tactical asset allocation and manager selection. The primary focus of the portfolio managers is in beating the Aggressive Blended Index.

Over the past year, the Class I Shares underperformed the Aggressive Blended Index by 1.8% which was approximately equal to the expenses charged by the Fund and the various mutual funds employed by the Fund. Over the past 12 months tactical decisions detracted about 0.5% from the Fund’s relative performance to the Aggressive Blended Index with manager performance largely offsetting the tactical underperformance. During the year, the Fund faced an environment that was marked by systemic risks from Europe and fiscal policy confrontation on the domestic front. This promoted the very volatile “risk on/risk-off” environment that generated very volatile return patterns. The Fund started the year in a more defensive asset allocation position that included a slight underweight to equities. This hurt performance as the equity markets started the fiscal year by performing very well. Towards the end of the fiscal year, markets became more manageable and the Fund moved from a tactically defensive posture to a more aggressive position which included overweighting international and emerging markets. This overweight was helpful during the later part of calendar 2012 but detracted from performance as emerging market economies began to stumble in concert with the evolving recession in Europe.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for

Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Wilmington Funds

April 30, 2013

 

1.

ORGANIZATION

The Trust consists of 23 portfolios, 6 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 17 funds are presented in separate reports.

 

  Fund

   Investment Goal

   The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term growth of capital through consistent returns from investments that have a low correlation to traditional asset classes.

Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund* (“Real Asset Fund”)(d)

   The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term preservation of capital with current income.

Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund*

Effective March 9, 2012, the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Conservative Asset Allocation Fund and Wilmington Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund (collectively the “WT Funds”), each a series of WT Mutual Fund, were reorganized into the Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the WT Funds’ financial and performance history prior to the reorganization has been carried forward and is reflected in the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the reorganization.

The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I and Institutional Class. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – Fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

 

for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;

 

 

in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

 

 

futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair value;

 

 

forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices;

 

 

investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);

 

 

for fixed income securities according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost;

 

 

price information on listed securities, including underlying Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF’s”) and Exchange Traded Notes (“ETN’s”), is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded; and

 

 

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

 

ANNUAL REPORT/ April 30, 2013


94    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In computing its NAV, the Funds value foreign securities using the latest closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities, based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. This does not include transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 due to the Multi-Manager International Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, equity securities (including exchange traded securities and other open-end regulated investment companies) exchange traded derivatives are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements – Reverse repurchase agreements are repurchase agreements in which a Fund is the seller (rather than the buyer) of the security, and agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon time and price. A reverse repurchase agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by a Fund. Reverse repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks. In addition, reverse repurchase agreements create leverage risks because a Fund must repurchase the underlying security at a higher price, regardless of the market value of the security at the time of repurchase.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Real Asset Fund had reverse repurchase agreement activity as follows:

As of April 30, 2013, the Real Asset Fund had no open reverse repurchase agreement.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

 

April 30, 2013 / ANNUAL REPORT


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)     95

 

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Accretion and Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Warrants and Rights – Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired. Equity-linked warrants are purchased in order to own local exposure to certain countries in which the Funds are not locally registered. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Trustees’ approved fair value procedures.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Funds do not isolate that portion of results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Short Sales – Certain Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. To sell a security short, the Fund must borrow the security. The Fund’s obligation to replace the security borrowed and sold short will be fully collateralized at all times by the proceeds from the short sale retained by the broker and by cash and securities deposited in a segregated account with the Fund’s custodian. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will realize a loss, and if the price declines during the period, the Fund will realize a gain. Any realized gain will be decreased, and any realized loss increased, by the amount of transaction costs. On ex-dividend date, dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense to the Funds.

Lending of Portfolio Securities – The Trust has entered into an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect and entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Options – Certain Funds may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign exchange rates, with respect to securities which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. A Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written. A Fund, as writer of options, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. A Fund, as purchaser of over-the-counter options, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency commitments or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contract transactions to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund’s securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)    97

 

inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency transactions are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date.

Futures Contracts – The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge their existing portfolios, manage cash flows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Swap Agreements – Certain Funds may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Portfolio of Investments.

Interest rate swaps – Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to either maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund, to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

Credit default swap agreements – Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are estimated by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit

indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality. Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolios of Investments and 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. For credit default swap agreements on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk. 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. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.

As of April 30, 2013, none of the Funds had any open credit default swap agreements.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for income recognition on expiration of capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, market discount reclass, partnership adjustments, REIT dividend reclasses, and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

As of April 30, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the periods ended 2012, 2011, and 2010, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

At April 30, 2013, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

 

          Short-Term     Long-Term     Total Capital

    Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund                   883,083        7,629,135                      8,512,218   

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets described in Note 8 and to the extent unrealized gains and losses that existed at the time of the reorganization are realized, the capital loss carryforwards may further be limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization.

The Funds used capital loss carryforwards as follows to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended April 30, 2013:

ADVISORY FEES, SERVICING FEES, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) provides sub-advisory services to the Funds. WFMC and WTIA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of M&T Bank Corporation. For its services, the Funds pay WFMC an annual investment advisory fee, accrued and paid daily, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as described below. WFMC, not the Funds, pays WTIA for its services.

The International Fund, Rock Maple Alternatives Fund and Real Asset Fund, utilize a multi-manager strategy, whereby WFMC allocates all or a portion of the Funds’ assets among a number of sub-advisors. WFMC engages Rock Maple Services, LLC (“Rock Maple”) to assist in the identification and selection of sub-advisors and in the portfolio construction process for the Rock Maple Alternatives Fund. For their services, the Funds pay Rock Maple and each sub-advisor fees, accrued daily and paid monthly, as described below. Certain sub-advisors have entered into an agreement with WFMC to waive their fees to the extent that the fee calculation determined by taking into account similarly managed assets in the accounts of clients of WFMC or its affiliates results in a fee that is less than the fee calculation under the sub-advisory agreement.

WFMC and the Funds’ distributor and shareholder service providers have contractually agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses through August 31, 2013, so that total annual fund operating expenses paid by the Funds (not including the effects of dividends or interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, or other extraordinary expenses expressed as an annualized percentage of average daily net assets), will not exceed the expense limitations set forth below.

 

     Contractual
Expense  Limitations
 
Fund    Class A      Class I  
Multi-Manager International Fund      1.49%         1.36%   
Rock Maple Fund      2.23%         1.98%   
Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund      1.28%         1.03%   
Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund*      0.90%         0.65%   
Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund      0.84%         0.59%   
Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund*      1.03%         0.78%   

* The advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive fees so that the Fund’s expenses are below the contractual expense limitations.

Prior to September 1, 2012 the contractual expense limitations for Rock Maple Fund was 2.48% for Class A and Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund was 1.10% and 0.85% for Class A and Class I, respectively.

LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNYM. The termination date of this LOC is March 10, 2014. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2013.

 

8.

REORGANIZATION

On February 21, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (“WT International Fund”), Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund (“WT Real Asset Fund”), Wilmington Conservative Asset Allocation Fund (“WT Conservative Asset Allocation Fund”) and Wilmington Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund (“WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund”), each a series of WT Mutual Fund (collectively the “WT Funds”), in exchange for shares of the International Fund (“MTB International Fund”), Real Asset Fund, Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund and Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (each an “Acquiring Fund”), respectively. The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the WT Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective WT Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the Reorganization, except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

In exchange for their shares (A Shares and Institutional Shares), shareholders of the WT Real Asset Fund, WT Conservative Asset Allocation Fund and WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund received an identical number of shares of the corresponding class (Class A Shares and Class I Shares) of the Real Asset Fund, Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund and Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund, respectively, with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Real Asset Fund, Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund and Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund had no operations prior to March 9, 2012. Each WT Fund’s investment objectives, policies and limitations were similar or identical to those of the respective Acquiring Fund. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the operating history of the WT Real Asset Fund, WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund and WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund prior to the Reorganization is reflected in each respective Acquiring Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights.

In connection with the Reorganization, the MTB International Fund revised its investment strategies so that they were identical to the investment strategies of WT International Fund. Additionally, the portfolio management team, portfolio composition and operating structure of the combined fund more closely resemble that of the WT International Fund. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the WT International Fund’s operating history prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the International Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights. As such, the financial statements and financial highlights are presented as if the WT International Fund acquired the MTB International Fund,

 

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2013


106    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

and reflect the issuance of 951,099 A Shares and 18,385,556 I Shares (formerly A Shares and Institutional Shares) of the WT International Fund, respectively, in exchange for 740,978 A Shares and 14,509,670 I Shares of the MTB International Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of such shares in the MTB International Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. The following additional information is as of the date of the Reorganization:

 

         MTB  International Fund                  
Accumulated Net Realized
Loss on Investments
   Net Unrealized Appreciation
on Investments
   Net Assets    Net Assets of WT
International Fund
  

Net Assets of

combined fund

$(61,012,527)

   $9,585,986    $131,922,273    $283,001,865    $414,924,138

The financial statements of the International Fund reflect the operations of the WT International 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 International 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 July 1, 2011, the proforma net investment income , net loss on investments and net decrease in net assets from operations for the fiscal period ended April 30, 2012 would have been $5,019,069, $(153,589,156) and $(148,570,086), respectively.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

 

10.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

 

11.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

Complete information regarding the tax status of distributions will be reported on Forms 1099.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Funds during the year ended April 30, 2013, the Funds designate the following percentages, or such greater percentages that constitute the maximum amount allowable pursuant to Code Sections Section 243 and 854(b)(2), as qualifying for the corporate dividends received deduction:

 

Fund     

International Fund

   0.00%

Rock Maple Alternatives Fund

   74.39%

Real Asset Fund

   11.08%

Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund

   11.26%

Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund

   25.35%

Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund

   69.08%

For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Funds designate the following percentages of the ordinary income dividends, or such greater percentages that constitute the maximum amount allowable pursuant to Code Sections 1(h)(11) and 854(b)(2), as qualified dividend income which may be subject to a maximum rate of federal income tax of 15%:

 

Fund       

International Fund

     100.00%   

Rock Maple Alternatives Fund

     100.00%   

Real Asset Fund

     28.75%   

Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund

     18.70%   

Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund

     42.59%   

Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund

     100.00%

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund and Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (six of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of years or periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund and Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund at April 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We do not permit them to use that information for their own or any other purposes, or rent, sell, trade or otherwise release or disclose the information to any other party.

Each of the following sections explains an aspect of the Funds’ commitment to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.

Employee Access to Information:

Our Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, restricts the use of customer information and requires that it be held in the strictest of confidence. Employee access to customer information is authorized for business purposes only, and the degree of access is based on the sensitivity of the information and on an employee’s or agent’s need to know the information in order to service a customer’s account or comply with legal requirements.

Surveys/Aggregate Data:

Periodically, the Funds may conduct surveys about financial products and services or review elements of customer information in an effort to forecast future business needs. The Funds then generate reports that include aggregate data regarding its customers. Aggregate data classifies customer information in various ways but that does not identify individual customers. These reports may also include information on website traffic patterns and related information. These reports are used for the Funds’ planning, statistical and other corporate purposes. Aggregate data may also be shared with external parties, such as marketing organizations. However, no information is shared by which any individual customer could be identified.

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

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

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


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

AUDIT SERVICES

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

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

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

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

TAX SERVICES

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

ALL OTHER SERVICES

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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


PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

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

PROCEDURES

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