Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Low Volatility Equity Fund

 

The BMO Low Volatility Equity Fund (the Fund) returned 19.60% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell 1000® Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index, which returned 25.36% and 22.86%, respectively.

The fiscal year was an exceptionally strong market environment. In fact, the Index returns were positive in 10 out of 12 months. During particularly strong markets like these, the Fund aims to participate meaningfully in the market’s upside. Capturing around 80% of this strong upside exceeds our expectations for performance in this type of market. In limiting our upside participation, we also aim to limit downside participation, should the market correct in the future. The Fund also seeks to deliver lower risk returns than that of the market and the Fund accomplished this goal with volatility of returns about 80% of that of the Russell 1000® Index.

The Fund’s underperformance is largely attributable to holding lower risk stocks. During the period, higher risk stocks outperformed lower risk stocks substantially as the Russell 1000® Index rose over 25%. Specifically, underweights in Information Technology and Energy contributed to underperformance, as did an overweight within Consumer Staples. This headwind was mitigated by the Fund’s large overweight in Healthcare stocks, which contributed to performance. Top contributors to the Fund during the period were McKesson Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, 56%), Mylan, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, 55%), and Entergy Corp. (2.0% of the Fund, 32%). Top detractors during the period were DSW, Inc. (1.1% of the Fund, -29%), Target Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, -6%), and ConAgra Foods, Inc. (1.3% of the Fund, -2%).

Heading into fiscal 2015, we view the primary themes in the market to be the perception of downside risk to equity markets after more than five years of strong performance, the evolution of central banking policy particularly in the U.S., and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Dividend Income Fund

 

The BMO Dividend Income Fund (the Fund) returned 23.52% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index and the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index, which returned 24.43%, 25.25% and 21.47%, respectively.

The U.S. economy withstood a deep winter freeze during the fiscal year. The broad recovery has been led by the pickup in manufacturing, auto sales, and consumer confidence. Companies, despite hiring more workers, were able to maintain attractive profit margins due to tepid inflation and low wage growth. Corporate earnings grew in this environment and investors bid up the market accordingly. The Fund slightly underperformed against two of the indices in this strong market, as expected, due to its lower risk profile, while outperforming its Lipper peer group. We remain committed to our strategy of investing in stable, mature, dividend paying companies that historically have performed well over long-term investment cycles.

The main source of underperformance came from the Fund’s stock selection within the Healthcare sector. Due to the attractive yields offered, the Fund primarily invests in pharmaceutical companies. Unfortunately, this industry trailed other areas within the Healthcare sector, specifically the Biotech industry which offers little-to-no yield opportunities. Pfizer, Inc. (3.1% of the Fund, 8%) launched an unsuccessful takeover attempt of a large European drug maker. The company also saw falling margins at its fastest growth business lines.

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection within Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary. Within Consumer Staples, the Fund’s tobacco holdings Lorillard, Inc. (1.8% of the Fund, 48%) and Altria Group, Inc. (2.4% of the Fund, 34%) led due to industry consolidation. In Consumer Discretionary, top performers included Macy’s, Inc. (1.5% of the Fund, 43%) and Time Warner Cable, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, 29%). Macy’s leadership team has successfully managed their business in a tough consumer environment. Time Warner Cable, which was sold from the Fund during the fiscal year, is being acquired by rival Comcast Corp. (1.4% of the Fund, 32%).

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Large-Cap Value Fund

 

The BMO Large-Cap Value Fund (the Fund) returned 26.47% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell 1000® Value Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index, which returned 24.43% and 23.41%, respectively.

The fiscal year featured continued strength in the U.S. equity markets, driven by continuing signs of economic improvement as well as ongoing accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. In general, stocks with exposure to higher growth markets such as Information Technology and Health Care stocks, were the strongest performers over the year. Conversely, the more defensive sectors, Consumer Staples and Telecommunications, lagged the overall market. Additionally, stocks with attractive valuation characteristics, especially those producing strong cash flows, outperformed over the year.

The Fund benefited modestly from sector allocation during the period with stock selection driving the majority of the Fund’s outperformance versus the benchmark and peers. Security selection was particularly strong within the Industrial and Financial sectors. Within Industrials, the Fund’s position in Southwest Airlines Co. (2.0% of the Fund, 152%) was the top contributor to performance. Within Financials, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (2.0% of the Fund, 49%) was a top contributor. Other contributors included Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (1.4% of the Fund, 71%) and DIRECTV Group, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, 46%). Stock selection was most negative in the Technology sector, with detractors including Symantec Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, -2%), NetApp, Inc. (1.5% of the Fund, 19%), and Cisco Systems, Inc. (2.1% of the Fund, 11%).

Heading into fiscal 2015, we view the primary themes in the market to be the evolution of Federal Reserve policy and the pace/extent of stimulus withdrawal; geopolitical tensions in the Middle East; and a busy fall calendar in Washington that includes mid-term elections.

The Fund modestly benefited from sector allocation during the period, however, stock selection drove the majority of the Fund’s outperformance versus the benchmark and peers. Security selection was particularly strong within the Healthcare and Industrials sectors. Within Healthcare, the Fund’s positions in pharmaceutical companies Endo Health Solutions, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, 63%) and Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC (0.0% of the Fund, 63%) were top contributors to Fund performance. Within the Industrials sector, Southwest Airlines Co. (2.0% of the Fund, 152%) was the biggest contributor. Stock selection was most negative in the Energy sector, including several of the largest detractors to Fund performance for the year. The Fund’s positions in energy equipment manufacturer Dril-Quip, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, -10%) and energy exploration and production company Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, -11%) were amongst the largest detractors to Fund performance this year.

Heading into fiscal 2015, we view the primary themes in the market to be the evolution of Federal Reserve policy and the pace/extent of stimulus withdrawal; geopolitical tensions in the Middle East; and a busy fall calendar in Washington that includes mid-term elections.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Mid-Cap Value Fund

 

The BMO Mid-Cap Value Fund (the Fund) returned 24.65% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell Midcap® Value Index and the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index, which returned 27.20% and 24.40%, respectively.

Stocks continued their march higher during the fiscal year, adding to the large gains of the previous year. Similar to last year, an accommodative Federal Reserve and an improving domestic economy remained positive influences on stock prices. Not that challenges were absent, considering the unrest in Russia/Ukraine and escalating violence in the Middle East, but they remained relatively benign. All ten economic sectors in the Russell Index recorded positive double-digit results ranging from 20% to 56%.

In terms of performance attribution for the Fund, stock selection in the Energy and Financial sectors displayed strong relative results. In the Energy sector, Newfield Exploration Co. (1.0% of the Fund), Cimarex Energy Co. (1.1% of the Fund) and Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund) each advanced over 70%, while in the Financial sector, asset managers Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (1.6% of the Fund) and Invesco, Ltd. (1.9% of the Fund) gained 49% and 38%, respectively.

Alternatively, the Fund’s Healthcare and Technology sectors trailed their respective categories. Both categories advanced close to 40%, creating stiff hurdles to overcome. In Healthcare, Bruker Corp. (1.5% of the Fund) and Hologic, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund) were flattish versus the index average of 38%. In Technology, Western Digital Corp. (1.7% of the Fund) and Broadcom Corp. (1.8% of the Fund) moved higher by 69% and 50%, respectively, but Symantec Corp. (1.9% of the Fund) and Teradata Corp. (2.1% of the Fund) were down during the year.

Sector allocation was a slightly positive contributor to overall performance. An average cash position of slightly under four percent detracted from relative performance. Underweight positions in Financials and Utilities provided positive relative sector results and an overweight position in Technology boosted relative returns. Sector allocation is a by-product of the stock selection process, and is not the driving force of investment decisions. The Fund’s focus has always been on company fundamentals, valuations, and a “bottom-up” individual stock selection process.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Mid-Cap Growth Fund

 

The BMO Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) returned 19.16% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell Midcap® Growth Index and the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index, which returned 23.66% and 20.64%, respectively.

Despite continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic risks during fiscal year 2014, the continued improvement in the U.S. economy, manageable inflation, and a still accommodative Federal Reserve resulted in muted volatility and strong equity performance. Investor interest in a narrow swath of “darling” companies resulted in a handful of names contributing on an outsized basis to benchmark returns, as investor risk-seeking and price momentum outweighed any valuation concerns for most of the period. As the fiscal year concludes, we are hopeful that investors will once again stay focused on fundamentals and have a renewed focus on valuations as the now 5+ year bull market continues.

Our stock selection process remains disciplined and active. Companies must demonstrate improving rates of what we view to be sustainable growth prior to us investing. In effect, this serves to limit risk, as we are not betting shareholders’ money on turnaround situations, nor speculating on the hopes and dreams of other investors and company management teams. Benchmark returns in industries where the Fund tends to be underweight historically, specifically semiconductors and airlines, performed well over the fiscal year and served as a headwind to performance. We strongly believe that our strict adherence to our process continues to uncover new investment ideas that should benefit Fund returns over the coming years.

The Fund’s performance was driven by positive stock selection in the Energy and Financial sectors, along with a group overweight to Healthcare and Industrials and group underweight to Consumer Staples. Stock selection within the Industrial, Consumer Discretionary, and Technology sectors was most detrimental to relative returns. The top contributors to total return for the Fund during the year were: United Rentals, Inc. (1.5% of the Fund, 115%), Actavis PLC (2.1% of the Fund, 68%), and Bellatrix Exploration, Ltd. (4.2% of the Fund, 21%). The positions most detrimental to relative returns for the Fund were: Acacia Research Corp. (1.6% of the Fund, -17%), Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (0.2% of the Fund, -62%), and Infoblox, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, -49%).

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Small-Cap Value Fund

 

The BMO Small-Cap Value Fund (the Fund) returned 17.36% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index, which returned 18.10% and 17.89%, respectively.

Stocks continued their march higher during the fiscal year, adding to the large gains of the previous year. Similar to last year, an accommodative Federal Reserve and an improving domestic economy remained positive influences on stock prices. Not that challenges were absent, considering the unrest in Russia/Ukraine and escalating violence in the Middle East, but they remained relatively benign. Nine of ten economic sectors in the Russell 2000® Value Index recorded positive double-digit results ranging from 12% to 25%. Telecom Services, which represents less than 1% of the index, was down approximately 1%.

In terms of performance attribution, individual stock selection was a positive contributor to overall performance. In the Technology sector, superior stock selection led to strong relative results. Synaptics, Inc. (1.5% of the Fund) advanced over 100%, while Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (0.0% of the Fund) was up approximately 70%. The Fund’s Basic Material sector posted a 36% return, which compared favorably to its respective sector in the Russell 2000® Value Index which appreciated 21%. The investments in two packaging companies, namely Graphic Packaging Holding Co. (2.2% of the Fund, 54%) and Kapstone Paper and Packaging Corp. (2.0% of the Fund, 46%) led the group.

Stock selection in the Financial sector detracted from relative performance, as the Fund’s investments in this sector advanced approximately 10%, while the Russell 2000® Value Index sector was up 17%. Tower Group, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund), an insurance company, fell approximately 40% after disclosing adverse reserve development. Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. (0.9% of the Fund), a provider of online trading services dropped 37% due to weak trading volumes.

Sector allocation was slightly negative to overall performance. An average cash position of slightly under five percent detracted from relative performance as did underweight positions in Financials (REIT-related) and Utilities. Sector allocation is a by-product of the stock selection process, and is not the driving force of investment decisions. The Fund’s focus has always been on company fundamentals, valuation, and a “bottom-up” individual stock selection process.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Small-Cap Core Fund

 

The BMO Small-Cap Core Fund (the Fund) returned 3.80% for the period from inception (December 27, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the Russell 2000® Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index, which returned 1.98% and 2.60%, respectively.

In many ways, this has been a year of digestion in the U.S. equity markets. Following a strong 2013, the U.S. equity market produced a moderately positive return this year. Economic growth struggled early in the year with a weather-related slowdown, but since then has shown signs of steady recovery. The Federal Reserve remains on course to finish tapering by the end of the year, despite concerns over slow growth and lack of inflation. Interest rates, after rising in the second half of 2013, have fallen so far this year. Within equity markets, small caps have lagged large caps after leading most of last year, and some expensive areas of the market, such as biotechnology and internet-related stocks, have experienced strong corrections.

Against this backdrop, the Fund outperformed its benchmark and peer group. The Fund’s focus on valuation was particularly additive this year, as investors paid a lot of attention to valuation during this period of digestion. Stock selection was also positive, led by the Energy sector, where top contributors included Pioneer Energy Services Corp. (0.8% of the Fund, 92%) and Warren Resources, Inc. (0.9% of the Fund, 105%). Another area of strength was Healthcare, where contributors included Providence Service Corp. (1.0% of the Fund, 77%) and Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (0.8% of the Fund, 96%). Underperformers during the period included Roundy’s, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, -64%), Regional Management Corp. (0.5% of the Fund, -50%), and Acxiom Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, -50%).

Heading into fiscal 2015, we view the primary themes in the market to be the evolution of Federal Reserve policy and the pace/extent of stimulus withdrawal; geopolitical tensions in the Middle East; and a busy fall calendar in Washington that includes mid-term elections.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Small-Cap Growth Fund

 

The BMO Small-Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) returned 14.44% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index, which returned 17.30% and 13.51%, respectively.

Despite continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic risks during the fiscal year, the continued improvement in the U.S. economy, manageable inflation, and a still accommodative Federal Reserve resulted in muted volatility and strong equity performance. Investor speculation in some sectors, notably developmental stage bio-techs and internet services, was also high, as risk-seeking and price momentum outweighed any valuation concerns for most of the period. As the fiscal year concludes, we are hopeful that investors will once again stay focused on fundamentals and have a renewed focus on valuations as the now 5+ year bull market continues.

Our stock selection process remains disciplined and active. Companies must demonstrate improving rates of what we view to be sustainable growth prior to us investing. In effect, this serves to limit risk, as we are not betting shareholders’ money on turnaround situations, nor speculating on the hopes and dreams of other investors and company management teams. We strongly believe that our strict adherence to our process continues to uncover new investment ideas that should benefit Fund returns over the coming years.

The Fund’s performance was driven by strong stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Financial, and Material sectors, along with group underweights to the Industrial and Technology sectors. Stock selection within the Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Industrial and Technology sectors were most detrimental to relative returns, along with a group underweight to the Material sector. The top contributors to total return for the Fund during the year were: Penn Virginia Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, 162%), Actuant Corp. (formerly ICG Group) (0.9% of the Fund, 39%), and Unit Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, 38%). The positions most detrimental to relative returns for the Fund were: Rocket Fuel, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, -47%), TearLab Corp 0.5% of the Fund, -71%), and Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 0.5% of the Fund, -62%).

The BMO Micro-Cap Fund (the Fund) returned 14.90% for the period from inception (September 30, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the Russell Microcap® Index and the Lipper Micro-Cap Funds Index, which returned 9.17% and 7.75%, respectively.

The Fund’s inception period began during a very strong market environment, with many of the major indices, including the Russell Microcap® Index, up over 10% from inception through December 31, 2013. Entering 2014, investors began to digest the strong returns of calendar 2013. In particular, investors began to harvest gains within small-cap and micro-cap stocks, which had significantly outperformed large-caps during all of 2013. As a result, calendar 2014-to-date has been a lackluster period for small- and micro-caps, with the Russell Microcap® Index down 0.99% versus the 9.90% gain for the Russell 1000® Index.

Against this backdrop, the Fund outperformed its benchmark and peer group. While the Fund modestly benefited from positive sector allocation during the period, the vast majority of the outperformance was due to strong stock selection particularly within the Healthcare sector. Included within Healthcare were three holdings that returned greater than 100% during the period; RadNet, Inc. (1.4% of the Fund, 177%), Fonar Corp. (0.9% of the Fund, 112%) and PharMerica Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, 102%). Another area of strength was within the Industrial sector, including the Fund’s holdings in CTPartners Executive Search, Inc. (1.3% of the Fund, 90%) and ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (0.9% of the Fund, 77%). Underperformers during the period included two stocks within the volatile Biotechnology industry; MEI Pharma, Inc. (0.0% of the Fund, -50%) and Coronado Biosciences (0.0% of the Fund, -74%). Other notable detractors included Roundy’s, Inc. (0.4% of the Fund, -63%) and Support.com, Inc. (0.4% of the Fund, -56%).

Heading into fiscal 2015, we view the primary themes in the market to be the evolution of Federal Reserve policy and the pace/extent of stimulus withdrawal; geopolitical tensions in the Middle East; and a busy fall calendar in Washington that includes mid-term elections.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Global Low Volatility Equity Fund

 

The BMO Global Low Volatility Equity Fund (the Fund) returned 14.70% for the period from inception (September 30, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (ACWI) and the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index, which returned 15.05% and 13.52%, respectively.

The Fund’s inception period was a very strong market environment. In fact, both the Fund and the ACWI Index returns were positive in 9 out of 11 months during this period. Not only did the Fund nearly match the total return of the ACWI Index and outperform the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index, it also did so with lower volatility: the Fund’s volatility of return was less than 75% of that of the ACWI Index.

The Fund’s positive and stable performance is largely attributable to strong stock selection packaged into a low risk portfolio. The Fund’s focus on stocks with cheap valuations, strong fundamentals, and improving investor interest was rewarded during the period. Top contributors to the Fund during the period were McKesson Corp. (2.0% of the Fund, 53%), Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (2.2% of the Fund, 44%), and Next PLC (1.4% of the Fund, 47%). Top detractors during the period were Wowprime Corp. (0.9% of the Fund, -22%), Magellan Health, Inc. (1.5% of the Fund, -7%), and Morningstar, Inc. (1.5% of the Fund, -15%). Sector selection was also a modest positive, with overweights in Healthcare and Utilities and underweights in the Financial and Material sectors adding value. The Fund’s underweight in Information Technology and overweight of Telecommunications Services and Consumer Staples sectors detracted value. Country selection was a modest drag on the portfolio, particularly with an underweight in a strong U.S. stock market. This was more than offset, however, by strong stock selection within the United Kingdom, China, and New Zealand.

Heading into fiscal 2015, we view the primary themes in the market to be the perception of downside risk to equity markets after more than five years of strong performance, the evolution of central banking policy particularly in the U.S., and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Pyrford Global Equity Fund

 

The BMO Pyrford Global Equity Fund (the Fund) returned 7.40% for the period from inception (December 27, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index and the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Core Funds Index, which returned 7.24% and 5.96%, respectively.

The period saw global equity markets continue their steady rise, a rise that has now proceeded with few interruptions since March 2009. Once again, ample supplies of liquidity have been central to this advance. Over the period ending August 31, 2014 the effect of country allocation was broadly neutral to performance. The portfolio’s significant underweight allocation in Japanese equities added notably over the period. The largest negative contributor to returns over the period was the large underweight position to U.S. equities. The portfolio’s overweight position in Malaysia also detracted over the period.

In terms of currency allocation, the hedging of the Australian dollar was a negative contributor. This hedging position seeks to protect the portfolio from expected weakness in the underlying currency. Stock selection was notably strong over the period, led by stock picking throughout the Pacific Basin. Stock picking in Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and Malaysia was particularly strong. Stock picking in Europe also added to performance however U.S. stock picking was notably weak over the period. Geographically, the portfolio remains overweight in the Asia Ex-Japan region and significantly underweight the U.S., Japan and U.K. Within Europe there is very little exposure to the problem countries in the south where sovereign debt concerns are at their greatest. The European portfolio is concentrated in Switzerland and the relatively healthy economies of core Europe, like Germany and the Netherlands.

In terms of sectors, the portfolio is very defensively positioned with underweight exposure to cyclical sectors and particularly banks (the portfolio has a zero weighting in European banks). Overweight sectors include Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications which offer high dividend yields and visible earnings streams. Due to private sector deleveraging and public sector budgetary constraints we expect a prolonged period of subdued economic growth. China and the rest of Asia ex-Japan will continue to provide the lead.

Key portfolio characteristics relative to the index include higher dividend yield, lower debt to equity, and higher return on equity. These characteristics have been consistent throughout our history of managing international equity portfolios and reflect our commitment to issues of value and quality.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Pyrford Global Strategic Return Fund

 

The BMO Pyrford Global Strategic Return Fund (the Fund) returned 3.67% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Consumer Price Index + 4% target, which returned 5.85%.

The portfolio continues to be very defensively positioned with an asset allocation of equity 25%, fixed income 72% and cash 3%. This reflects the view that there is very little fundamental value in either global equities or longer duration quality sovereign bonds and that capital market valuations do not discount the significant structural economic problems and material risks that exist.

After rising towards the end of 2013, government bond yields declined steadily throughout 2014, with some of the most spectacular declines occurring in the most troubled parts of the eurozone. As a result of declining yields, the portfolio’s bonds produced positive returns over the period (North America 0.25%, Europe 3.74%); however, by owning only short duration bonds, returns were muted. The constant liquidity injections throughout the world combined with the frenetic pursuit of return by investors have pushed bond markets into bubble territory. Negative real yields remain in several markets and we continue to adopt a defensive stance by owning only short duration securities to protect the capital value of the portfolio from expected rises in yields.

The year ending August 31, 2014 saw equity markets continue their steady rise, a rise that has now proceeded with few interruptions since March 2009. Over the period, the portfolio’s U.S. equities rose over 19% while overseas equities were up 17%. Markets continue to be awash with central bank-created liquidity through programs of quantitative easing. Because debt levels are already very high in many developed economies, this newly created money is not finding its way into credit growth through the usual transmission mechanism and instead is “leaking” into capital markets and chasing asset prices higher. We remain a value manager and will not be enticed into such significantly overvalued markets. The equity portfolio remains defensively positioned with a zero weighting in European banks and limited exposure to more cyclical sectors such as Capital Goods and Materials. The portfolio is well represented in defensive sectors such as Utilities, Energy and Telecommunications. These sectors offer predictable revenue streams and attractive valuations. The focus of the portfolio remains on balance sheet strength, profitability, earnings visibility, and value.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Global Natural Resources Fund

 

The BMO Global Natural Resources Fund (the Fund) returned 7.30% for the period from inception (December 27, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Commodity Producers Sector Capped Index and the Lipper Global Natural Resources Funds Index, which returned 5.82% and 10.00%, respectively.

Fund inception through August 31, 2014 was a volatile period for commodity prices. Political turmoil in the Middle East and Africa was continuously weighed with and against the outlook for World Gross Domestic Product growth, a potential start to Federal Reserve interest rate increases, and growing U.S. oil production. The Energy and Precious Metals sectors were most impacted by these factors. Grain prices were negatively impacted through the period due to an outlook for a large corn and soy bean crop harvest.

Through this period of commodity price volatility, the Fund was able outperform its benchmark. Stock selection within the Energy sector was the main driver. The three Energy equities with the highest contribution were; Keyera Corp. (2.1% of the Fund, 50%), Halliburton Co. (1.3% of the Fund, 34%), and Canyon Services Group, Inc. 0.7% of the Fund, 38%). The Fund underperformed in both the Agriculture and Base Metals due to two specific holdings; MBAC Fertilizer Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, -64%), and Imperial Metals Corp. (0.0% of the Fund, -39%).

We believe that a weak grain price environment will persist through 2015 and has therefore positioned the Agriculture holding towards companies for whom grains are an input cost. Energy remains an overweight with the view that global geopolitics create continued supply side risk to oil prices, but look to own high quality exploration and production companies with a large, low cost resource base and energy service companies that offer customers high value add. Low global inflation and the specter of Federal Reserve interest rate increases act as an albatross around the neck of gold equities, so as we enter 2015 that exposure has been reduced. Within the Precious Metals group the outlook for palladium and platinum in the new fiscal year is positive on supply constraints and increased pollution controls. We continue to be underweight the Base Metals sector due to slower economic growth in China and a flood of supply in the iron ore markets.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO LGM Emerging Markets Equity Fund

 

The BMO LGM Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the Fund) returned 15.35% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index, which returned 19.98% and 20.27%, respectively.

Domestically-oriented companies in India contributed positively to performance such as new investments Yes Bank, Ltd. (4.5% of the Fund, 143%), a full service commercial bank in India; as well as Emami, Ltd. (3.0% of the Fund, 47%), a household and personal care company; and Titan Co., Ltd. (2.1% of the Fund, 56%), the country’s largest gold jewelry retailer. The Fund also added to its investment in ITC, Ltd. (5.6% of the Fund, 8%), India’s leading tobacco and fast moving consumer goods company. The Fund’s performance also benefited from the overweight and positive stock selection in the Philippines, as the Fund’s second largest holding, local snack producer Universal Robina Corp. (4.8% of the Fund, 41%), continues to execute well on the domestic market. The Fund’s only investment in South Korea, a leading tobacco and ginseng producer, KT&G Corp. (2.4% of the Fund, 48%), also contributed positively to the Fund’s performance as the government’s proposed excise tax hike, the first one in nearly a decade, was likely to be reciprocated by the company, preserving margin and cash flow expansion.

The Fund’s performance was hurt by its stock selection in Hong Kong-listed companies such as Giordano International, Ltd. (1.2% of the Fund, -33%) as the company continues to face challenges re-positioning its products in a highly competitive Chinese market. Parkson Retail Asia, Ltd. (1.4% of the Fund, -29%) was another detractor to performance as consumption slowdown in Malaysia, its main market, was reflected in the negative like-for-like sales growth. The weakness in Coca-Cola Embonor SA (1.3% of the Fund, -31%), Chile’s leading soft-drink bottler, was driven by slowing domestic consumption.

The Fund’s key objective is to invest actively in emerging market companies to drive the long-term capital appreciation of our clients’ wealth. We believe we can add value through sound, bottom-up fundamental investment analysis with a long-term approach. Our unconstrained approach focuses on identifying companies that meet our quality criteria that include strong business models, robust balance sheets, proven management teams and clear and fair alignments between majority and minority shareholders. We typically invest in companies generating high free cash flows to support a growing dividend stream, which is also reflective of a quality factor.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO TCH Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

The BMO TCH Emerging Markets Bond Fund (the Fund) returned 12.66% for the period from inception (September 30, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Global Diversified Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Hard Currency Debt Funds Index, which returned 11.70% and 9.01%, respectively.

Leading up to the period, fear surrounding the Federal Reserve’s tapering program weighed on Emerging Market (EM) securities as investors became concerned about EM sovereigns’ external vulnerabilities, including pressure on foreign exchange rates, foreign direct investment, and market liquidity. The Federal Reserve’s decision not to taper at its September 2013 meeting, coupled with a commitment to continue accommodation, reversed much of this sentiment and provided significant support to the asset class over the period.

Geopolitical events and country specific news drove performance variability within the asset class during the period. Reform agendas such as those put forth in Mexico, Indonesia, India, and China were viewed constructively. Some countries, such as Mexico, further benefitted from stabilizing growth in developed markets. The dispute between Russia and Ukraine over their borders drove significant geopolitical volatility, reprising regional risk as the duration of the crisis extended and spilled over into economic impact. Favorable country and security selection within this environment was a strong contributor to Fund performance. This was partially offset by the higher quality nature of the Fund, as higher beta securities largely outperformed higher quality peers during the period.

Continued market support from global Central Banks and a “soft landing” for China continue to provide a constructive backdrop for EM securities over the near term. The Fund remains overweight corporate and quasi-sovereign exposure to capture additional spread where it believes valuations remain attractive. The Fund continues to maintain duration in line with the benchmark.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund

 

The BMO Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund (the Fund) returned 1.10% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index and the Blended Index benchmark (50% Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index and 50% iMoneyNet Money Market Fund Tax-Free National Retail Index), which returned 0.86% and 0.44%, respectively.

Expectations can change a lot in a twelve month period. Last year, municipal funds were seeing rising rates, consistent redemptions, and negative credit headlines from the Detroit bankruptcy and Puerto Rico’s fiscal concerns. But as the Federal Reserve began the tapering of monthly asset purchases, rates stopped rising and fell steadily through August. In January, tax-free fund flows turned positive once again and remained so through the end of this fiscal period. Credit spreads tightened as investors treated Detroit and Puerto Rico as one-off events and saw the strength in the overall municipal market as worthy of a lower risk premium.

The Fund performed well against both money market funds, which are yielding near zero percent, as well as the blended benchmark. Individual bond selection, especially among issues in lower-rated credit categories, enhanced returns as did an overweight in the revenue-backed sector, particularly to hospital issues. While an overweight to floating rate issues over much of the year helped to minimize price volatility, in hindsight, this detracted modestly from performance since having a greater allocation to fixed rate debt would have benefited from a modest decline in short-term yields.

We look forward to the day when the Federal Reserve moves off its zero interest rate policy, which we expect will occur in 2015. As short-term rates begin to rise, Fund investors should benefit from higher yields on the floating rate debt. In addition to the floating rate securities to help minimize share price volatility as rates rise, a below-benchmark duration will be targeted and a prudent level of A and BBB rated securities will be held, the excess yield of which helps to offset price declines when yields rise. The backdrop for municipal credits continues to improve as the economy grows and municipalities are focused more on operational efficiencies and pension reform than on new borrowing.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Short Tax-Free Fund

 

The BMO Short Tax-Free Fund (the Fund) returned 3.86% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Barclays Short (1 – 5 Year) Municipal Index and the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds Index, which returned 2.35% and 1.46%, respectively.

A year ago yields were on the rise as investors feared the end of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program. Municipal funds were experiencing persistent redemptions due to rate concerns and negative credit headlines from the Detroit bankruptcy and Puerto Rico’s fiscal concerns. Looking back, this was a classic “sell the rumor, buy the fact” investing opportunity. Rates stopped rising just as the Federal Reserve tapering of monthly asset purchases began and fell steadily through the rest of the fiscal period. Tax-free fund flows also turned positive in January and remained so through fiscal year-end, as inflows occurred in eight out of every ten weeks. Even credit spreads, the difference in yield between lower quality and higher quality credits, narrowed as investors accepted both Detroit and Puerto Rico as specific rather than systemic credit challenges.

The Fund was well positioned for the change in the yield curve and tighter credit spreads. The Fund’s barbell curve posture benefited as intermediate yields fell more than shorter maturities. In addition, an overweight in both BBB and A rated bonds enhanced performance as lower-rated issues outperformed higher quality. This same risk-on theme that helped to tighten credit spreads also played out in sector performance, benefitting the Fund’s overweight in local general obligation and hospital issues. Detracting from performance was the Fund’s overweight in floating rate securities.

We look forward to the day when the Federal Reserve moves off its zero interest rate policy, which we expect will occur in 2015. As short-term rates begin to rise, Fund investors should benefit from higher yields on the floating rate debt. In addition to the floating rate securities to help minimize share price volatility as rates rise, a below-benchmark duration will be targeted and a prudent level of A and BBB rated securities will be held, the excess yield of which helps to offset price declines when yields rise.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Short-Term Income Fund

 

The BMO Short-Term Income Fund (the Fund) returned 1.55% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Corporate Index and the Lipper Short Investment-Grade Debt Funds Index, which returned 1.18% and 2.07%, respectively.

The bond market experienced significant interest rate volatility over the fiscal year, with short term rates ending moderately higher than at the beginning of the year. Interest rates have fluctuated as investors have digested mixed economic data in an attempt to predict future actions of the Federal Reserve. With quantitative easing coming to a close this fall, the market anticipates a future increase of the target rate, which has remained close to zero since late 2008. Despite this volatility in interest rates, bonds saw positive returns across all sectors for the fiscal year, with the spread sectors contributing strong outperformance as investors search for yield amid record low interest rates.

Corporate, Asset-Backed (ABS) and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) all outperformed for the fiscal year, which helped performance given the Fund’s overweight bias to those sectors. In the past year, the Fund markedly increased its allocation to the securitized sector, CMBS in particular. An overweight to BBB rated securities also added to relative performance as lower quality credits outperformed the index. The Fund’s barbell yield curve position detracted from performance as the front end of the curve steepened.

Looking ahead, we expect a bias toward higher rates in the front-end of the yield curve with the greatest volatility being seen in maturities longer than 2 years. We anticipate a continued yield curve steepening out to 3 year maturities and expect that longer yields will increase at a slower pace than those on the front-end. We will look for ongoing improvement in unemployment and expect moderate improvement in consumer and private investment spending amidst modest wage gains. There will be minimal change in government spending in an election year and the associated gridlock in Washington. Export growth is a wildcard amidst geopolitical tensions and slower international growth. We expect inflation to continue trending upward but remain in the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone, close to 2%. Uncertainty surrounding the geopolitical environment will continue. While QE3 is anticipated to conclude in fall 2014, there is no expected change to the Federal Funds target rate for the balance of the year, but do expect to see a rate hike before the latter part of 2015.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Intermediate Tax-Free Fund

 

The BMO Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (the Fund) returned 8.29% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Barclays 1-15 Year Blend Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index, which returned 7.52% and 7.57%, respectively.

A year ago yields were on the rise as investors feared the end of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program. Municipal funds were experiencing persistent redemptions due to rate concerns and negative credit headlines from the Detroit bankruptcy and Puerto Rico’s fiscal concerns. Looking back, this was a classic “sell the rumor, buy the fact” investing opportunity. Rates stopped rising just as the Federal Reserve tapering of monthly asset purchases began. Tax-free fund flows also turned positive in January and remained so through the end of this fiscal period in August, receiving inflows in eight out of every ten weeks. Even credit spreads, which is the difference in yield between lower quality and higher quality credits, narrowed as investors accepted both Detroit and Puerto Rico as specific rather than systemic credit challenges.

The Fund was well positioned for the shift in both sentiment and yield. Having a barbell allocation along the yield curve was helpful as yields on long debt fell more than shorter maturities. In addition, an overweight in both BBB and A rated bonds enhanced performance as lower-rated issues outperformed higher quality. This same risk-on theme that helped to tighten credit spreads also played out in sector performance, benefitting the Fund’s overweight in revenue bonds, particularly hospital issues. Detracting from performance was a modest interest rate hedge in Treasury futures that fell in price as market yields declined.

In spite of the impressive returns of the municipal market over the past year, there are still value opportunities in the tax-free market. Intermediate and long-term maturities remain on the cheaper side of historical valuations relative to Treasuries, while shorter, fixed rate issues appear to be fully valued. The backdrop for municipal credits continues to improve as the economy grows and municipalities are focused more on operational efficiencies and pension reform than on new borrowing. Nonetheless, with rates lower now than a year ago, the market is more susceptible to a reversal in rates, warranting a more cautious duration posture going forward. The Fund has raised both its liquidity and floating rate exposure in anticipation of greater market volatility the closer we get to an increase in the Fed Funds rate in 2015.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Mortgage Income Fund

 

The BMO Mortgage Income Fund (the Fund) returned 4.87% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Barclays U.S. Mortgage Backed Securities Index and the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index, which returned 5.42% and 5.33%, respectively.

Despite fears surrounding the initiation of the Federal Reserve’s tapering program, fixed income broadly performed well during the trailing year. Interest rates on the 10 year U.S. Treasury fell from 2.75% on August 31, 2013 to 2.34% on August 31, 2014 even with the notable interest rate increase during the fourth quarter of 2013 when tapering was formally announced. Agency Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) in particular were expected to struggle given the tapering announcement as the Fed’s quantitative easing program directly purchased MBS. However, the decreased purchases by the Federal Reserve were offset by the decline in issuance of MBS.

Given dramatic declines in refinancings, combined with banks continued reluctance to lend to all but the highest quality borrowers, MBS issuance has underwhelmed the consensus estimates, thus creating a supply/demand imbalance and driving spreads tighter. The Fund’s overweight to conventionals (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) vs. Ginnie Mae contributed to performance as those market segments outperformed. The Fund’s overweight to commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities were also additive, with investors search for yield favoring these sectors. The Fund maintained a modestly short duration to the benchmark, resulting in underperformance versus the benchmark as interest rates declined during the fiscal year.

Recent U.S. growth and improving labor markets (6.1% unemployment at August 31, 2014 vs 7.2% a year prior) are encouraging signs, though global economic trends are not uniformly positive. Our view remains for an improving, but tepid growth picture in the United States, which favors spread sectors over Treasuries, while contained inflation supports only a measured reduction of accommodative monetary policy.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO TCH Intermediate Income Fund

 

The BMO TCH Intermediate Income Fund (the Fund) returned 5.37% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment-Grade Debt Funds Index, which returned 3.55% and 3.30%, respectively.

Despite fears surrounding the initiation of the Federal Reserve’s tapering program, fixed income broadly performed well during the trailing year. Interest rates on the 10 year U.S. Treasury fell from 2.75% on August 31, 2013 to 2.34% on August 31, 2014 even with the notable interest rate increase during the fourth quarter of 2013 when tapering was formally announced. Against this interest rate backdrop, U.S. Treasury securities delivered a 3.57% return.

Yield curve positioning, quality selection, and security selection all contributed to Fund outperformance during the fiscal year. The Fund’s barbell position on the yield curve emphasizing longer maturity securities paired with high quality floating rate notes contributed to performance as the yield curve flattened.

The Fund benefited from its above-market exposure to credit during the past year. Intermediate credit securities outperformed duration-matched Treasuries by 304 basis points as the option-adjusted spread of the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index tightened 41 basis points to 75 over the course of the fiscal year. Within credit, the Fund was overweight lower quality investment grade securities which outperformed higher quality securities with BBB rated securities outperforming AAA rated securities by 400 basis points of excess return.

Individual security selection was favorable and added value during the past year. We expect that security selection and relative value decisions will play an important role in the portfolio in the coming year as yields remain low and credit and mortgage spreads have tightened. Among the detractors to performance was our relative underweight to Financials versus Industrials as longer-term Financials in particular outperformed. In addition, our underweight to dollar-denominated foreign sovereign securities detracted as some of the troubled European periphery securities recovered, outperforming corporates.

Recent U.S. growth and improving labor markets (6.1% unemployment at August 31, 2014 vs 7.2% a year prior) are encouraging signs, though global economic trends are not uniformly positive. Our view remains for an improving, but tepid growth picture in the United States, which favors spread sectors over Treasuries, while contained inflation supports only a measured reduction of accommodative monetary policy.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Monegy High Yield Bond Fund

 

The BMO Monegy High Yield Bond Fund (the Fund) returned 8.06% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield, BB-B Rated, Constrained Index and the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Index, which returned 10.54% and 10.10%, respectively.

The U.S. high yield market continued its ascent through June before a sharp dip in July and a snapback in August as investors took quick advantage of more compelling valuations. Despite concerns of global instability and some volatility in industry retail inflows, the high yield market posted strong gains over the year, on the back of positive fundamentals and declining interest rates. Indeed, the advance was led by the more treasury-sensitive BB segment of the market, which rose 10.88%. The spread differential between U.S. high yield and investment grade bonds tightened by over 50 basis points to 272 basis points, compared to pre-crisis spreads of 147 basis points. Defaults remained benign over the year, with the 12-month trailing issuer defaults easing from 2.8% to 1.8%, well below historical norms.

The relative underperformance of the Fund was largely a reflection of its construction of a diversified portfolio of attractive risk/return names that are expected to outperform in the long run with much less volatility. Performance lagged primarily due to the Fund’s shorter duration. From a sector perspective, the largest detractors to our relative performance were our name selection in Energy and lack of exposure to the Banking sector. Conversely, the key contributors were our positioning in Financials (largely our positioning in CIT Group) and Materials.

Despite the continued strength in high yield markets, we believe valuations are fair and there is further room for spread tightening given a backdrop of a continued U.S. economic recovery, still healthy issuer balance sheets, and expectations for defaults to remain low for several years to come. We do foresee some volatility putting pressure on high yield prices as we transition from this extraordinarily low interest rate environment. We remain comfortable with the risk/return profile of the Fund.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Multi-Asset Income Fund

 

The BMO Multi-Asset Income Fund returned 3.66% for the period from inception (December 27, 2013) through August 31, 2014 versus the 75% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index / 25% Russell 3000® Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index, which returned 6.14%, 4.81% and 5.81%, respectively.

The Fund has been and will continue to be designed for investors that are worried about the potentially negative effects future inflation and rising interest rates will have on traditional fixed income portfolios. During the first eight months of 2014, investors pushed these interest rate and inflation worries to the backburner and sent bond yields lower. After ending 2013 at a yield of 3.03%, the 10 year Treasury note has rallied in 2014, sending its yield to just 2.34% by the end of August.

With the calendar and conversation changing to the October 2014 end of the Federal Reserve’s Quantitative Easing (QE) program coupled with potential interest rate hikes in mid-2015, the Fund has been positioned with a decided under-weight to fixed income, especially those instruments with longer term maturities. Simply put, we believe this part of the curve offers limited income and upside in exchange for plenty of downside risk, especially when real inflation adjusted returns are considered. The Fund maintains its underweight to the least credit worthy fixed income instruments, namely high yield bonds.

While the Fund’s fixed income positioning provided a relative performance headwind, the overall return was bolstered by its holdings of convertible bonds, real estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships and dividend equities. We continue to believe that in the current environment these investments offer a better risk/return profile than aggregate bonds.

While bonds have surprisingly rallied in 2014, their paltry yields, an improving economic backdrop and a less accommodative Federal Reserve loom as large future headwinds. Investors should continue to employ shorter term fixed income maturities to meet near term cash needs while doing “something different” to replace the intermediate and long end of their bond portfolios. Through a diversified allocation to a handful of different asset classes, the Fund attempts to offer prudent income generation with an inherent buffer against upside shocks to inflation and interest rates, all in a risk aware manner.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Government Money Market Fund

 

The BMO Government Money Market Fund (the Fund) returned 0.01% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the iMoneyNet, Inc. Government Money Market Index and the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index, which returned 0.01% and 0.01%, respectively.

BMO Government Money Market Fund performed well within its peer group overall. Money market yields remain at historically low levels, as the Federal Funds rate continues to be anchored near zero and the Federal Reserve is projected to retain its near zero interest rate policy until mid-to-late 2015. Demand for high-quality, short-term securities remains strong, while supply continues to be limited.

The Fund continues to emphasize municipal Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well as fixed rate agency notes to add incremental yield. The Fund’s investment in municipal VRDNs contributed to performance as these securities had elevated yields during tax season. Higher rates on repurchase agreements at certain points during the fiscal year also helped the Fund’s return. The Federal Reserve’s reverse repurchase facility continues to place a floor on rates for repurchase agreements backed by government securities.

Looking ahead, we expect a bias toward higher rates in the front-end of the yield curve. The recent regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission surrounding institutional money market funds may encourage investors to move into Government money market funds, increasing demand for 2a-7 eligible government securities. We will look for ongoing improvement in unemployment and expect moderate improvement in consumer and private investment spending amidst modest wage gains. There will be minimal change in government spending in an election year and the associated gridlock in Washington. Export growth is a wildcard amidst geopolitical tensions and slower international growth. We expect inflation to continue trending upward but remain in the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone, close to 2%. Uncertainty surrounding the geopolitical environment will continue. While Quantitative Easing 3 is anticipated to conclude in fall 2014, there is no expected change to the Federal Funds rate for the balance of the year, but do expect to see a rate hike before the latter part of 2015.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Tax-Free Money Market Fund

 

The BMO Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the Fund) returned 0.02% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 versus the iMoneyNet, Inc. Fund Report/Tax-Free National Retail and the Lipper Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds Index, which returned 0.01% and 0.01%, respectively.

Over the past year, the slow and plodding economic recovery in the U.S. has progressed, but not yet to the point where the Federal Reserve feels a rate increase is warranted. The unemployment rate has fallen from 7.2% to 6.1%, but the labor participation rate also has fallen further, from 63.2% to 62.8%, a level last seen in the 1970s. Car sales have been very strong this year, but housing sales have weakened over the summer. The Federal Reserve has reduced its purchase of treasury bonds and mortgage securities, but will not completely stop until sometime this fall. So things are better, but not yet good. The Federal Reserve is projecting that the overnight lending rate could be raised beginning around June of 2015, dependent on data continuing to improve. That would be a welcome change for American savers who are currently being penalized for the benefit of borrowers.

Last year, the municipal bond market was seeing rising rates, steady redemptions, and some negative headlines from Detroit and Puerto Rico. As the Federal Reserve began its “tapering” of monthly asset purchases, rates stopped rising and fund flows turned positive by the start of 2014. Since then, credit spreads have tightened in response to strong demand outpacing new bond issuance as investors have witnessed the continuing strength in municipal finances and treated the “headline” municipalities more as one-off issues. We believe that the gradually improving economy will aid cities, counties, and school districts in keeping their finances strong.

The Fund performed well during the past year versus peers, though the yield of the Fund continued to decline. The Fund remains widely diversified with ample liquidity. Average maturity was positioned roughly in-line with others. We anticipate continuing to shorten the maturity of the Fund in the coming months as we move closer to what would be a very welcome rise in rates by the Federal Reserve sometime in 2015. We are still inclined toward buying some notes for the added yield potential, but we will generally be seeking maturities of less than a year as we hope to be writing here a year from now about the impact of rising rates and an improving yield for shareholders.

Explanation of the Indexes and Notes in the Commentary

 

The views expressed in the commentary are as of August 31, 2014 and are those of the Funds’ investment adviser and/or portfolio manager(s). The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the future performance of the Funds or any individual security, industry, market sector or the markets generally. Statements involving predictions, assessments, analyses or outlook for individual securities, industries, market sectors and/or markets involve risks and uncertainties. In addition to the general risks described for the Funds in their current Prospectuses, other factors bearing on these commentaries include the accuracy of the investment adviser’s or portfolio manager’s forecasts and predictions and the appropriateness of the investment programs designed by the investment adviser or portfolio managers to implement their strategies efficiently and effectively. Any one, or more, of these factors, as well as other risks affecting the securities markets and investment instruments generally, could cause the actual results of a Fund to differ materially as compared to benchmarks associated with that Fund. The line graphs and tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The gross and net expense ratios are based on annualized expenses incurred by a Fund as disclosed in the Funds’ Prospectus dated December 27, 2013. Each Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Performance returns for all benchmark comparisons assume dividends and distributions were reinvested for the entire period. All indexes are unmanaged and are not available for direct investment.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2014

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended August 31, 2014 (3/1/14-8/31/14).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)    

 

Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued each trading day at the last sale price or official closing price reported on a national securities exchange, including NASDAQ. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued each trading day at the last closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the time for determination of Net Asset Value (“NAV”) or at fair value as discussed below. Equity securities without a reported trade, U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities with maturities of 60 days or more, unlisted securities, and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities that are not exchange traded are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Fixed income securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value. The money market funds use the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Securities or other assets for which market valuations are not readily available, or are deemed to be inaccurate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”). The Directors have established a Pricing Committee, which is responsible for determinations of fair value, subject to the supervision of the Directors. In determining fair value, the Pricing Committee takes into account all information available and any factors it deems appropriate. Consequently, the price of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different than the value that would be realized upon the sale of that security and the differences may be material to the NAV of the respective Fund or the financial statements presented.

Securities held in certain funds may be listed on foreign exchanges that do not value their listed securities at the same time each Fund calculates its NAV. Most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities, generally 3:00 p.m. (Central Time). The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim.

The Pricing Committee may determine that a security needs to be fair valued if, among other things, it believes the value of the security might have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market in which the security was principally traded, but before the time for determination of the NAV (“a subsequent event”). A subsequent event might include a company-specific development (for example, announcement of a merger that is made after the close of the foreign market), a development that might affect an entire market or region (for example, weather related events) or a potentially global development (such as a terrorist attack that may be expected to have an effect on investor expectations worldwide). The Funds have retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in fair valuing foreign securities. The service utilizes statistical data based on historical performance of securities, markets, and other data in developing factors used to estimate a fair value.

Repurchase Agreements—The Funds’ policy requires the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.

The Funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, which are deemed by the Adviser (or sub-advisers, as applicable) to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

Investment Income, Expenses, and Distributions—Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value.

The Funds offer multiple classes of shares which differ in their respective distribution, administration and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in class-specific expenses. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the value of total shares outstanding of each class without distinction between share classes. Expenses attributable to a particular class of shares, such as shareholder servicing fees, are allocated directly to that class.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses—Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for tax and financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payments of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of interest income.

Federal Income Taxes—The policies and procedures of the Funds require compliance with Subchapter M 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 tax are necessary. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends 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

Table of Contents
    BMO Funds

 

will be available to make payment for the commitment to purchase securities. 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.

Futures Contracts—Certain Funds may purchase futures contracts to 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 changes in the value of the underlying securities.

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund, Short Tax-Free Fund and Intermediate Tax-Free Fund had an average of 4, 3 and 170 short treasury futures contracts outstanding, respectively. Included in the Statements of Operations, the Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund, Short Tax-Free Fund and Intermediate Tax-Free Fund had $(27,035), $(13,557) and $(888,469) in net realized losses on treasury futures contracts, respectively. The Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund, Short Tax-Free Fund and Intermediate Tax-Free Fund had $(1,295), $1,679 and $(32,353) in change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on treasury futures contracts, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 2014.

At August 31, 2014, the following Funds had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:

Options Contracts—Certain Funds may write covered call and put options on futures, swaps, securities, or currencies a Fund owns, or in which it may invest to create investment exposure consistent with their investment objectives. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received, or made, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security, or currency may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security, or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Certain Funds also may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium, which is included in a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked- to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

The Funds did not hold any option contracts on or during the year ended August 31, 2014.

Foreign Exchange Contracts—Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Certain Funds may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of these Funds’ foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Pyrford Global Equity Fund, Pyrford Global Strategic Return Fund, Pyrford International Stock Fund, and Monegy High Yield Bond Fund had average quarterly notional values of $47,607, $362,242, $30,885,335 and $139,082 on short forward foreign currency exchange contracts and $1,790, $85,895, $5,443,406 and $0 on long forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. Included in the Statements of Operations, the Pyrford Global Equity Fund, Pyrford Global Strategic Return Fund, Pyrford International Stock Fund and Monegy High Yield Bond Fund had $0, $49,961, $1,903,937, and $(9,347) in net realized gains/(losses) and $(3,704), $(69,044), $(3,482,488) and $(4,681)

Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate 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 Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 each reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities—Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. As of August 31, 2014, there are no master netting arrangements related to the Funds. The Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities (“SAL”) presents derivative instruments on a gross basis, therefore there are no net amounts and no offset amounts within the SAL to present below. Gross amounts of the derivative instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the SAL and net amounts are presented below:

At year end, certain Funds covered in this report had investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value and related collateral received for these investments are presented in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the value of these investments is also presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral received exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements as of August 31, 2014.

Restricted Securities—Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities 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 restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Directors. The money market funds’ restricted securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Additional information on each illiquid restricted security held by the Funds at August 31, 2014 is as follows:

  (1) Security represents a quarterly floating rate funding agreement with a 90 day put feature whose maturity is extendable per the discretion of the Adviser.

Redemption Fees—The International Funds imposed a 2% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. All redemption fees are recorded by the International Funds as paid-in-capital.

Securities Lending—Certain Funds participate in one of two securities lending programs, providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity, and government securities to qualified brokers, in exchange for the opportunity to earn additional income for participating. State Street Bank & Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. serve as the securities lending agents for the International Funds and non-International Funds participating in the programs, respectively. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the prior day’s market value on securities and accrued interest loaned. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates), and money market funds. The valuation of collateral is discussed in “Investment Valuations” in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. When a Fund lends its portfolio securities, it is subject to the risk that it may not be able to get the portfolio securities back from the borrower on a timely basis, in which case the Fund may lose certain investment opportunities. A Fund also is subject to the risks associated with the investments of cash collateral received from the borrower.

Cash collateral received as part of the International Funds securities lending program was invested in the following security as of August 31, 2014:

(1) The collateral pool is managed by the fixed income group within the Adviser. Each Fund owns a pro-rata interest in the collateral pool determined by the value of securities on loan for such Fund.
(2) Floating rate securities are securities whose yields vary with a designated market index or market rate. These securities are shown at their current rates as of August 31, 2014.
(3) Each issue shows the rate of the discount at the time of purchase.

Commitments and Contingencies—In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Corporation’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Corporation that have not yet occurred. However, the Corporation has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific security lot identification.

 

3.   Fair Value Measurements

Fair Valuation Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting issuer (observable inputs), and (2) the reporting issuer’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Common and preferred stocks, options and futures contracts, and U.S. registered mutual funds are generally categorized as Level 1.

    BMO Funds

 

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Fixed income securities, repurchase agreements, cash collateral received as part of the securities lending program, and securities valued by an independent fair value pricing service are generally categorized as Level 2.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs, including management’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

The Funds have adopted Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Enhanced disclosure is required to detail any transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities as of August 31, 2014. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of August 31, 2014, in valuing the Funds’ assets:

It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers between category levels at the end of the period. As described in Note 2, securities for which market valuations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors. As a result, due to differences in trading volume constituting an active market between August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2014, fair valuation use resulted in transfers between categorization levels.

The following is a reconciliation of transfers between category levels from August 31, 2013 to August 31, 2014:

Interfund Borrowing and Lending—The Funds participate in an interfund lending program. This program allows the Funds to lend cash to and/or borrow cash from other Funds for temporary purposes, although the Money Market Funds cannot participate as borrowers. The program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirement that the interfund loan rate to be charged to the Funds under the program is (i) more favorable to the lending Fund than the rate it could otherwise obtain from investing cash in repurchase agreements or purchasing shares of a Money Market Fund and (ii) more favorable to the borrowing Fund than the lowest interest rate at which bank short-term loans would be available to the Funds. In addition, a Fund may participate in the program only if its participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies and limitations. The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the interfund lending program. The Micro-Cap Fund utilized this program as borrower, and the Prime Money Market Fund as lender for the year ended August 31, 2014. No interfund borrowing or lending balances existed as of August 31, 2014. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the average daily lending balance was $239 and the weighted average interest rate was 0.675%.

Investment Transactions—The Funds, on occasion, may purchase or sell a security with another Fund or client of the Adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Directors.

General—Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Corporation are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of one or more of the above companies, which are affiliates of the Corporation. None of the Fund officers or interested directors receives any compensation from the Funds.

Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and includes a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. On September 26, 2013, the amount of the LOC increased to $50 million. All other terms and conditions of the LOC agreement remained in place. No borrowings were outstanding under the LOC at August 31, 2014.

8.   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 treatment of net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, paydown gain or loss, market discount accretion, premium amortization, and expiring capital loss carryforwards.

To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification and had no impact on the NAV of the Funds.

The Funds complied with the FASB interpretation Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides guidance for how uncertain tax provisions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not,” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statutes of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by the taxing authorities (i.e., the last four tax years and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have no examinations in progress. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Funds reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds’ tax returns and concluded that Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes resulted in no effect on the Funds’ reported net assets or results of operations as of and during the period ended August 31, 2014. Management of the Funds also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, derivatives, foreign currency, and the discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2014, certain Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which may reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders that would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Under The Registered Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”), capital losses incurred during the fiscal years beginning after the enactment date of the Modernization Act (December 22, 2010) are carried forward indefinitely and retain the character of the original loss. However, any remaining pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire unused, since the post-enactment capital losses are utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers according to the Modernization Act.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the Short Tax-Free and TCH Intermediate Income Funds, respectively, utilized $97,640 and $897,798 of capital loss carryforwards.

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. The financial highlights for the periods presented through August 31, 2010 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 21, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2014, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Continuation of Contracts

 

Approval of Continuation of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements

During the reporting period, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BMO Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), including the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Corporation and BMO Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) on behalf of each portfolio of the Corporation (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and the continuation of sub-advisory agreements (each a “Subadvisory Agreement” and together, the “Subadvisory Agreements”) with: (i) Taplin, Canida & Habacht, LLC (“TCH”) on behalf of BMO TCH Emerging Markets Bond Fund, BMO TCH Corporate Income Fund and BMO TCH Core Plus Bond Fund; (ii) LGM Investments Limited (“LGM”) on behalf of BMO LGM Emerging Markets Equity Fund; (iii) Monegy, Inc. (“Monegy”) on behalf of BMO Monegy High Yield Bond Fund; and (iv) Pyrford International Ltd. (“Pyrford”) on behalf of BMO Pyrford Global Equity Fund, BMO Pyrford Global Strategic Return Fund and BMO Pyrford International Stock Fund, all for an additional year ending August 31, 2015. TCH, LGM, Monegy and Pyrford are referred to herein as a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively as the “Sub-Advisers.”

In connection with its consideration of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements, the Board requested and reviewed extensive information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers in response to requests of the Independent Directors and their independent legal counsel. At Board meetings held on July 8-9 and August 12-13, 2014, the Board met with management of the Adviser and discussed the operations of the Funds and the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, as applicable. In evaluating the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements, the Board members took into account their accumulated experience in working with the Adviser on matters related to the Funds and their ongoing review of information and discussions with the Funds’ portfolio managers throughout the year at Board meetings. The Independent Directors also met separately in executive session with their independent legal counsel to review and consider the information provided by the Adviser regarding the Advisory Agreement, and the information provided by the Sub-Advisers regarding the Subadvisory Agreements.

Based on their review, the Independent Directors and the full Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund to approve the continuation of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements. In reaching its decision, the Board considered materials relevant to its review of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements, including copies of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements, the fees paid to the Adviser and to the Subadvisers, information regarding each Fund’s investment strategy, personnel, compliance program and operations, information regarding the Adviser’s and Subadvisers’ financial condition, and other information provided in response to the requirements of Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In their deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling but considered all factors together. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determinations are discussed below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the Funds, the Board reviewed information describing the resources and key personnel of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including the personnel who provide investment management services to the Funds. The Board reviewed information concerning the advisory functions performed for the Funds, as well as other services performed by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including managing the execution of portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Funds’ investment restrictions, compliance with Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Board and Board committees, communicating with shareholders and overseeing the activities of other service providers.

Review of Fund Performance

The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance percentile rankings within its Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) category through May 31, 2014, as provided by the Adviser.

With respect to the Funds that have investment performance histories of one year or less, each Fund ranked in one of the top two quartiles for performance as compared to its Lipper peer group in either the one-year of year-to-date periods, except for the BMO Monegy High Yield Bond Fund. The Board considered the limited performance history of these Funds and, with respect to the BMO Monegy High Yield Bond, considered the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund recently underperformed its peers due to its more conservative, high quality investment strategy as compared to its competitors, but believes that the Fund will produce competitive returns over full market cycles.

With respect to the Funds with performance histories of three years or more, the Board considered that each Fund’s performance history over the year-to-date and one-, three- and five-year (if available) periods was in one of the top two quartiles for performance as compared to its Lipper peer group in at least two of the periods, except for the BMO LGM Emerging Markets Equity Fund, BMO Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund (Class Y) and BMO Mortgage Income Fund. With respect to the BMO LGM Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the Board considered the Adviser’s assessment that the Fund was in the first quartile for the year-to-date period as compared to its peers and that the performance was attributable to actions taken consistent with the Fund’s investment mandates and that the portfolio managers continue to appropriately pursue their strategies. With respect to the Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund, the Board considered that Class I shares of the Fund were in the second quartile for the one- and three-year periods and that the Fund’s performance was within a reasonable range of the

 

167


Table of Contents

(continued)

 

median of its peer group for all periods reviewed. With respect to the BMO Mortgage Income Fund, the Board considered that Fund was in the second quartile for the five-year period and was within a reasonable range of the median of its peer group for most periods reviewed.

The Board determined that it was satisfied with each Fund’s performance and would continue to monitor the Funds’ performance results.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser from Strategic Insight’s Simfund database comparing each Fund’s contractual advisory fee to the advisory fee of the comparable Morningstar, Inc. peer group. In addition, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser from Lipper comparing each Fund’s net expense ratio to the net expense ratio of the comparable Lipper peer group. The Board considered that the Adviser has agreed to contractual expense limitations for the Funds (the “Expense Limitations”), and that the net expense ratios for the Funds take into account the effect of the Expense Limitations. The Board also viewed favorably the Adviser’s money fund fee waivers to avoid a negative yield in the low rate environment. The Board also reviewed the management fees charged by the Adviser to its separate account clients. Although the average separate account fees for certain investment strategies were lower than the advisory fees for Funds with similar investment strategies, the Board noted management’s statements that the Adviser performs significant additional services for the Funds that it does not provide to those other clients, including management for daily liquidity, oversight of the Funds’ other service providers, Board support, regulatory compliance and additional efforts by the portfolio managers.

In reviewing the information, the Board noted that the advisory fees and net expense ratios (for each class) of each Fund were below or within an acceptable range of the median advisory fees and net expense ratios of their respective peer groups.

The Board considered the methodology used by the Adviser in determining compensation payable to its portfolio managers and the competitive environment for investment management talent. The Board also considered the financial condition of the Adviser and certain of its affiliates, and particularly focused on the financial strength of the ultimate parent company of the Advisor and Sub-Advisers, the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”), and BMO’s commitment, financial and otherwise, to the global asset management business and the Funds.

The Board reviewed profitability information it received from the Adviser in connection with the services provided to each Fund and the Corporation as a whole. The materials provided in this regard showed, and the Directors acknowledged, that the Adviser experienced positive net margins with respect to certain Funds and did not experience positive net margins with respect to other Funds.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether the Funds’ fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board considered each Fund’s fee structure, asset size and net expense ratio giving effect to each Fund’s Expense Limitation. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to continue to evaluate advisory fee breakpoints in the future.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Advisers

The Board considered benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including revenue in the form of administration fees, custody fees, shareholder service fees, and securities lending revenue, and that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers engage in soft dollar arrangements in connection with equity security brokerage transactions for the Funds and/or other clients. The Board noted that, other than the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers pursuant to the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements and the related fees to be paid by each Fund, the Adviser and Sub-Advisers therefore may potentially benefit from their relationship with each other in other ways. The Board also considered that the success of any Fund could attract other business to the Adviser and that the success of the Adviser could enhance the Adviser’s ability to serve the Funds. The Board concluded that, taking into account these benefits, each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable.

Overall Conclusions

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements are fair and reasonable and that the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement is in the best interests of each applicable Fund.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Target Retirement Funds

 

Performance quoted reflects the period from August 30, 2013 (inception date for the BMO Target Retirement 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 Funds) through August 31, 2014

The markets posted solid gains fueled by improving economic data and accommodative monetary policy. The S&P 500® Stock Index rose 25.2%, outpacing the Russell 2000® Index return of 17.7%. Foreign markets were also strong as the developed market Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) gained 16.4%, while the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index advanced 20.0%. The bond market continued to surprise most rate forecasters as the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined from 2.8% to 2.3% during the period resulting in a return of 5.7% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

The BMO Target Retirement Funds participated in the market gains and generally exceeded their respective benchmarks with returns ranging from 12.03% for the BMO Target Retirement 2010 Fund to 19.69% for the BMO Target Retirement 2050 Fund, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. On the fixed income side, all of our core bond, high yield and emerging markets funds outpaced the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. This helped offset the weaker results from Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund (1%), PIMCO Unconstrained Bond Fund (3%) and Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (4%) which were positioned more defensively for a rising rate environment which has yet to materialize. In large-cap equities, actively managed funds had a difficult time keeping pace with the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund (25%) as only 3 of 7 funds kept pace, led by Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund (29%) and T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund (27%). BMO Low Volatility Equity Fund (20%) and Davis New York Venture Fund (21%) were the biggest detractors. BMO Mid-Cap Value Fund (25%) and Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Fund (25%) led the charge in the mid- and small-cap arena while BMO Small-Cap Growth Fund (15%) and BMO Mid-Cap Growth Fund (19%) were the biggest laggards. Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund (27%) and DFA International Small Company Fund (20%) outpaced the MSCI EAFE Index while Harbor International Fund (13%) was the biggest detractor. Late in the period we initiated positions in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) and commodities by adding the Vanguard REIT Index Fund and the Credit Suisse Commodity Return Fund to further diversify the portfolios.

This current bull market has entered year six, yet many investors remain skeptical and fixated on the negative headlines and what could go wrong rather than following a disciplined investment plan. We continue to follow our discipline and structure well diversified portfolios across the risk spectrum to meet the needs of our investors. We remain overweight in stocks with a focus on large-cap companies while underweight the mid- and small-cap sectors where valuations appear more stretched. On the fixed income side, we are complementing our core managers with a mix of high yield, emerging markets, floating rate and unconstrained managers to weather the likely rise in interest rates that lies ahead, as the economy gains momentum and the Federal Reserve unwinds their easy money policy.

The above graphs relate to the Investor Class shares of the Fund. Performance for the Institutional, Retirement R-3 and Retirement R-6 will vary from the performance of the Investor Class shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses. These graphs illustrate the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Investor Class shares of the Fund from each Fund’s inception date to August 31, 2014.

The 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 costs. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. To receive current performance to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-236-3863 or visit www.bmofunds.com.

 

* The above expense ratios are from the Funds’ Prospectus dated December 27, 2013, and are inclusive of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. See Note 5, subsection Contractual Expense Limitation, in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. Net expense ratios reflect contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements if applicable, made by BMO Asset Management Corp., the investment adviser (Adviser). The Adviser may not terminate these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements prior to December 31, 2015 without the consent of the Board of Directors, unless the investment advisory agreement is terminated. Without these contractual waivers, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Gross expense ratios are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year because these are new funds.

 

** Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. The percentages are based on net assets as of August 31, 2014 and may not necessarily reflect adjustments that are routinely made when presenting net assets for formal financial statement processes.

The Standard & Poor’s Target Date Indexes are designed to measure the performance of an asset allocation strategy that meets the objectives of investors with an approximate corresponding retirement date horizon.

Annual Report — Commentary   BMO Target Risk Funds

 

Performance quoted reflects the period from May 30, 2014 (since inception) through August 31, 2014

The domestic markets posted solid gains fueled by improving economic data and accommodative monetary policy. The S&P 500® Stock Index rose 4.7%, outpacing the Russell 2000® Index return of 3.9%. Foreign markets were more mixed as the developed market Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index declined 1.1%, while the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index surged 5.9%. The bond market continued to surprise most rate forecasters as the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined from 2.5% to 2.3% during the period resulting in a return of 0.9% for the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

The BMO Target Risk Funds participated in the market gains and generally performed in-line or exceeded their respective Lipper peer benchmarks with returns ranging from 1.40% for the most conservative BMO Diversified Income Fund to 3.60% for the BMO Diversified Stock Fund. On the fixed income side, our two core funds, BMO TCH Core Plus Bond Fund and PIMCO Total Return Fund posted solid results outpacing the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. This helped offset the weaker results from Fidelity Advisor Floating Rate High Income Fund (1%) and PIMCO Unconstrained Bond Fund (1%) which are positioned more defensively for a rising rate environment which has yet to materialize. In large-cap equities, actively managed funds had a difficult time keeping pace with the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund (5%) as only 4 of 9 funds kept pace, led by Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund (7%) and BMO Large-Cap Growth Fund (6%). Vanguard Equity Income Fund (3%) and Davis New York Venture Fund (3%) were the biggest detractors. BMO Mid-Cap Value Fund (6%) and Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Fund (5%) led the charge in the mid- and small-cap arena while BMO Small-Cap Growth Fund (2%) and Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund (3%) were the biggest detractors. On the international side 3 of our 4 developed market funds outpaced the index led by Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund (2%) while our emerging/frontier funds lagged their respective benchmark. Our alternatives allocation was mixed with the strong results from the Vanguard REIT Index Fund (4%) offset by the Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund (-5%).

This current bull market has entered year six, yet many investors remain skeptical and fixated on the negative headlines and what could go wrong rather than following a disciplined investment plan. We continue to follow our discipline and structure well diversified portfolios across the risk spectrum to meet the needs of our investors. We remain overweight in stocks with a focus on large-cap companies while underweight the mid- and small-cap sectors where valuations appear more stretched. On the fixed income side, we are complementing our core managers with a mix of high yield, floating rate and unconstrained managers to weather the likely rise in interest rates that lies ahead, as the economy gains momentum and the Federal Reserve unwinds their easy money policy.

The above graphs relate to the Investor Class shares of the Fund. Performance for the Institutional, Retirement R-3 and Retirement R-6 will vary from the performance of the Investor Class shares shown above due to differences in charges and expenses. These graphs illustrate the hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Investor Class shares of the Fund from each Fund’s inception date to August 31, 2014.

The 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 costs. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. To receive current performance to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-236-3863 or visit www.bmofunds.com.

 

* The above expense ratios are from the Funds’ Prospectus dated December 27, 2013, and are inclusive of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. See Note 5, subsection Contractual Expense Limitation, in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. Net expense ratios reflect contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements if applicable, made by BMO Asset Management Corp., the investment adviser (Adviser). The Adviser may not terminate these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements prior to December 31, 2015 without the consent of the Board of Directors, unless the investment advisory agreement is terminated. Without these contractual waivers, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. Gross expense ratios are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year because these are new funds.

 

** Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. The percentages are based on net assets as of August 31, 2014 and may not necessarily reflect adjustments that are routinely made when presenting net assets for formal financial statement processes.

Expense Example (Unaudited)    

 

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2014

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended August 31, 2014 (3/1/14-8/31/14).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a mix of BMO Funds and unaffiliated mutual funds. The Funds are designed to provide investors with investment management, asset allocation, and ongoing reallocation over time. Each Fund is considered a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. A fund of funds bears its own direct expenses in addition to bearing a proportionate share of expenses charged to the underlying funds in which it invests.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations—Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Securities or other assets for which market valuations are not readily available, or are deemed to be inaccurate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”). The Directors have established a Pricing Committee, which is responsible for determinations of fair value, subject to the supervision of the Directors. In determining fair value, the Pricing Committee takes into account all information available and any factors it deems appropriate. Consequently, the price of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value

Table of Contents
    BMO Funds

 

determined for a security is materially different than the value that would be realized upon the sale of that security and the differences may be material to the NAV of the respective Fund or the financial statements presented.

The Pricing Committee may determine that a security needs to be fair valued. In valuing underlying fund investments, the Funds use the NAVs reported by the underlying funds. An underlying fund may need to fair value one or more of its investments, which may, in turn, require a Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the underlying fund’s NAV.

Investment Income, Expenses, and Distributions—Investment income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value.

The Funds offer multiple classes of shares which differ in their respective distribution, administration and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in class-specific expenses. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the value of total shares outstanding of each class without distinction between share classes. Expenses attributable to a particular class of shares, such as shareholder servicing fees, are allocated directly to that class.

Federal Income Taxes—The policies and procedures of the Funds require compliance with Subchapter M 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 tax are necessary. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Securities of Other Investment Companies & Underlying Fund Investment Risk—The Funds may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, within the limits prescribed by the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Investments in the securities of other investment companies may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly will bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations. The Funds also may invest in investment companies that are not organized under the laws of the United States. The Fund’s risks are directly related to the risks of the underlying funds. It is important to understand the risks associated with investing in the underlying funds.

Commitments and Contingencies—In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Corporation’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Corporation that have not yet occurred. However, the Corporation has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific security lot identification.

 

3.   Fair Value Measurements

Fair Valuation Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting issuer (observable inputs), and (2) the reporting issuer’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Common and preferred stocks, options and futures contracts, and U.S. registered mutual funds are generally categorized as Level 1.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Fixed income securities, repurchase agreements, cash collateral received as part of the securities lending program, and securities valued by an independent fair value pricing service are generally categorized as Level 2.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs, including management’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

The Funds have adopted Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in

accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Enhanced disclosure is required to detail any transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. For the year ended August 31, 2014, there were no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities as of August 31, 2014. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers between category levels at the end of the period.

Shareholder Servicing Fees—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class shares for the period.

The Plan authorizes payments by the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of its Retirement Class R-3 shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Retirement Class R-3 shares.

Administration Fees—Each Fund pays the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets per class (except the Retirement class R-6, which does not pay an Administration Fee).

Interfund Borrowing and Lending—The Funds participate in an interfund lending program. This program allows the Funds to lend cash to and/or borrow cash from other Funds for temporary purposes. The program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirement that the interfund loan rate to be charged to the Funds under the program is (i) more favorable to the lending Fund than the rate it could otherwise obtain from investing cash in repurchase agreements or purchasing shares of BMO Prime Money Market Fund or BMO Government Money Market Fund and (ii) more favorable to the borrowing Fund than the lowest interest rate at which bank short-term loans would be available to the Funds. In addition, a Fund may participate in the program only if its participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies and limitations. The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the interfund lending program. The 2045 Fund utilized this program as borrower, and the Prime Money Market Fund as lender for the year ended August 31, 2014. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the average daily lending balance was $154 and the weighted average interest rate was 0.675%. No interfund borrowing or lending balances existed as of August 31, 2014.

General—Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Corporation are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of one or more of the above companies, which are affiliates of the Corporation. None of the Fund officers or interested directors receives any compensation from the Funds.

6.   Line of Credit

The Corporation, on behalf of the respective Funds, entered into a $25 million unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company. 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 London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and includes a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. On September 26, 2013, the amount of the LOC increased to $50 million. All other terms and conditions of the LOC agreement remained in place. No borrowings were outstanding under the LOC at August 31, 2014. The Funds that utilized the LOC during the year ended August 31, 2014 were as follows:

8.   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 treatment of wash sales.

To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification and had no impact on the NAV of the Funds.

The Funds complied with the FASB interpretation Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which provides guidance for how uncertain tax provisions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not,” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statutes of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by the taxing authorities (i.e., the last four tax years and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have no examinations in progress. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Funds reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds’

    BMO Funds

 

tax returns and concluded that Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes resulted in no effect on the Funds’ reported net assets or results of operations as of and during the period ended August 31, 2014. Management of the Funds also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of BMO Funds, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of BMO Target Retirement 2010 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2015 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2020 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2025 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2030 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2035 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2040 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2045 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2050 Fund, BMO Target Retirement 2055 Fund, BMO Diversified Income Fund, BMO Moderate Balanced Fund, BMO Growth Balanced Fund, BMO Aggressive Allocation Fund, BMO Diversified Stock Fund, and BMO Aggressive Stock Fund (each a series of BMO Funds, Inc., collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year or period then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agents or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2014, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year or period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Report Disclosure of Directors’ Approval of
Continuation of Contracts

 

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement for BMO Diversified Income Fund, BMO Moderate Balanced Fund, BMO Growth Balanced Fund, BMO Aggressive Allocation Fund, BMO Diversified Stock Fund and BMO Aggressive Stock Fund

At a meeting held on May 7 and 8, 2013 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BMO Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), including the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), considered the initial approval of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Corporation and BMO Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) on behalf of BMO Diversified Income Fund, BMO Moderate Balanced Fund, BMO Growth Balanced Fund, BMO Aggressive Allocation Fund, BMO Diversified Stock Fund and BMO Aggressive Stock Fund (each a “New Fund” and collectively the “New Funds”).

During the Meeting, the Board met in person with management of the Adviser, who outlined the objectives and principal investment strategies for each New Fund, including the investment approach and process for selecting funds and managers for the New Funds. Representatives of the Adviser described in detail each New Fund’s strategic asset allocation ranges and mix of proprietary, non-proprietary, actively-managed and passively-managed funds to be included in each investment strategy. The Board and management discussed the current managed asset allocation portfolios (“MAAPs”) sponsored by the Adviser and the proposed conversion of the MAAPs’ assets into the New Funds. The Board then considered the capabilities of the investment team, including performance records of the MAAPs, and the benefits of a mutual fund structure for the MAAP assets. The Board discussed the nature and quality of services to be provided by each investment team, the classes proposed to be offered, the fee and expense structure of each New Fund, the anticipated growth of the New Funds, the potential for economies of scale, the daily pricing and liquidity of the mutual funds and the pricing procedures of the New Funds. The Board, including the Independent Directors, was satisfied with the proposed products, the capabilities of the Adviser and the investment teams to adequately manage the new products, and the relative fees and expenses. The Board also considered that the proposed conversion would be in the best interests of shareholders and that their interests would not be diluted following conversion. The Independent Directors also met separately in executive session with their independent legal counsel to review and consider the information provided by the Adviser regarding the proposed Advisory Agreement for the New Funds.

The Independent Directors considered, among other factors, the Adviser’s long-term relationship with the Corporation and the services the Adviser provides for other funds of the Corporation. The Independent Directors noted that, in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, they were taking into account their accumulated experience as Independent Directors in working with the Adviser on matters relating to the Corporation’s other funds. Based on their review, the Independent Directors concluded that it was in the best interests of the New Funds to approve the Advisory Agreement and, accordingly, recommended that the Board approve the Advisory Agreement. In reaching its decision, the Board considered materials relevant to its review of the Advisory Agreement, including a copy of the proposed Advisory Agreement, information regarding each New Fund’s investment strategy, personnel, compliance program and operations, information regarding the Adviser’s financial condition, and other information provided in response to the requirements of Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In their deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling but considered all factors together. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determinations are discussed below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Funds, the Board reviewed information describing the resources and key personnel of the Adviser, including the personnel who would provide investment management services to the New Funds. The Board considered the capabilities of the respective investment teams, including performance expectations and capacity. The Board also considered the administrative services that the Adviser would provide for the New Funds and took into account its review of the advisory functions and other services performed by the Adviser for the Corporation’s other funds. The Board also considered the Adviser’s experience in managing new funds.

Based upon this review, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the New Funds by the Adviser are expected to be satisfactory.

Performance Information

The Board reviewed performance data for the MAAPs for various periods ended March 31, 2013. The Board concluded that the performance history of the MAAPs was in line with each of the New Fund’s Morningstar Inc. and Lipper Inc. peer group averages.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

The Board reviewed information regarding each New Fund’s fees and expenses, noting that the New Funds would not pay a management fee to the Adviser. The Board then reviewed each Fund’s net expense ratio according to its Lipper peer group ranking. The Board considered that the Adviser has agreed to a contractual expense limitation for each New Fund through December 31, 2014 (the “Expense Limitation”), and that the net expense ratio for the New Fund takes into account the effect of the Expense Limitation. The Board noted that all of the classes of the New Funds were within one of the top two quartiles of their peer groups with respect to their net expense ratios.

Table of Contents
    BMO Funds

 

The Board also noted that because the New Funds were newly organized and had no assets, the Adviser did not provide profitability information. The Board considered the proposed Expense Limitation Agreement and concluded that profitability was not expected to be unreasonable.

On the basis of the information provided and in light of the fact that no management fee is paid by the New Funds, the Board concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement for each New Fund are reasonable, taking into account the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Board did not consider the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Funds grow because the New Funds would not be paying management fees to the Adviser.

Other Benefits to the Adviser

The Board considered benefits that accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their contractual relationships with the New Funds, including administration and custody fees. Taking into account these benefits, the Board concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement for each New Fund are reasonable.

Conclusion

After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that were instructive in evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each applicable New Fund, taking into consideration the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, proposed fee and expense levels, economies of scale and other benefits to the Adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BMO Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BMO Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund, BMO Short Tax-Free Fund, and BMO Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (each a series of BMO Funds, Inc., collectively referred to as the “Funds”), including the summary schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended (collectively, the “financial statements”), the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four-year period then ended (the financial statements and financial highlights are included in Item 1 of this Form NCSR), and the schedule of investments in securities as of August 31, 2014 (included in Item 6 of this Form NCSR). These financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments in securities are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments in securities based on our audits. The financial highlights for the periods presented through August 31, 2010 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 21, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments in securities are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedules of investments in securities. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments in securities referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2014, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
