Notification of electronic delivery of shareholder materials

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Funds or from your broker/dealer, investment professional, or financial institution. Instead, the reports will be made available online at bmofunds.com/documents, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically by calling 1-800-236-FUND (3863), by sending an email request to bmofundsus.services@bmo.com, or by asking your broker/dealer, investment professional, or financial institution.

Beginning on January 1, 2019, you may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Funds, you can call the Funds toll-free at 1-800-236-FUND (3863) or send an email request to bmofundsus.services@bmo.com. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Funds.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2019

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 February 28, 2019 (9/1/18-2/28/19).

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.

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. 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 and of sufficient credit quality, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. 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 the 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 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.

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 effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities is reflected as a component of such gains or losses.

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.

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.

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.

Short Sales—Certain Funds may sell a security they do not own in anticipation that the price of the security will decline. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund closes the short sale by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of closure. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the transaction is closed, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to dividend or interest that accrue during the period of the loan which is recorded as an expense. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium or an interest fee, which are recorded as interest expense. The proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sells the security short, or a loss potentially unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the closing of a short sale. The Fund may not always be able to borrow a security or to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. If the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund closes the short sale, the Fund will experience a loss. The Fund’s loss on a short sale is the maximum attainable price of the security (which could be limitless) less the price the Fund paid for the security at the time it was borrowed.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)     

 

Futures Contracts—Certain Funds may purchase futures contracts to manage cash flows, enhance yield, or 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.

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.

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.

Total Return Basket Swaps—Certain Funds may enter into total return basket swap agreements to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and/or short securities. Under the terms of the agreements, the swaps are designed to model a portfolio of direct investments of long and short equity positions. The value of the swap represents the accumulated value of the underlying long and short positions within the model portfolio at period end. The swap value will reflect all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions, dividends, and interest. The swap value also includes finance charges and credits, primarily associated with short positions, that are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread and accrued monthly. All positions within the swap are reset periodically. During a reset, the Funds have the ability to increase, reduce, add, or eliminate long and short positions within the swap. Any realized gains (losses) from positions, income, proceeds from corporate actions, and accrued financing costs affect the periodic cash settlement between the Funds and the swap counterparty and are included in the swap value in net cash and other receivables (payables). Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date, or any other date, at the discretion of the Funds and the counterparty over the life of the agreement. A change in the market value of a swap contract is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Cash settlements between a Fund and the counterparty are recognized as net realized gain (loss) from expiration or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return basket swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments and include the list of security positions within the current model portfolio of the swap.

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.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the 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.

Investment Income, Expenses, and Distributions—Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income, realized gain distributions from underlying funds, and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of certain foreign securities, in which dividends are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Funds’ information agents become aware of such dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Paid-in-kind interest included in interest income, if any, is accrued daily.

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.

Money Market Funds—Rule 2a-7 under the Act effectively includes three categories of money market funds: “Government,” “Retail,” and “Institutional.” The BMO Government Money Market Fund operates as a Government money market fund. The BMO Tax-Free Money Market Fund and BMO Prime Money Market Fund operate as Retail money market funds. The BMO Institutional Prime Money Market Fund operates as an Institutional money market fund. Each money market fund is operated to comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7.

As a Government money market fund, the BMO Government Money Market Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in U.S. government securities, cash, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Act). As Retail money market funds, BMO Tax-Free Money Market Fund and BMO Prime Money Market Fund have adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit investments in the Fund to accounts beneficially owned by natural persons. Each Government and Retail money market fund uses the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments, which approximates fair value, and seeks to transact at a stable $1.00 NAV per share.

As an Institutional money market fund, BMO Institutional Prime Money Market Fund operates with a floating NAV reflecting the current market-based values of its portfolio securities, except as otherwise generally permitted for securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, which generally are valued at amortized cost. BMO Institutional Prime Money Market Fund also is required to round its NAV to four decimal places (e.g., $1.0000).

The Institutional and Retail money market funds have adopted policies and procedures imposing a fee upon the sale of shares (“Liquidity Fee”) or temporarily suspending the ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below designated thresholds (“Redemption Gate”). The Board of Directors has chosen not to subject the BMO Government Money Market Fund to a Liquidity Fee or a Redemption Gate, and may do so in the future only with advance notice to shareholders.

Redemption Fees—The International Funds impose 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 these collateral securities is discussed in “Investment Valuations” above. 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.

Denotes a floating rate security. 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 February 28, 2019.

  (2)

Each issue shows the rate of the discount at the time of purchase.

  (3)

Denotes an investment in an affiliated entity. Please refer to Note 6, subsection Investments in Affiliated Issuers, in the Notes to Financial Statements.

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 distribution to shareholders each year of substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and unrealized appreciation on investments have been recognized for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

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 Measurement

Fair Valuation Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires 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.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) which introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years; however, management has elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 effective with the current reporting period as permitted by the standard. The impact of the Fund’s adoption was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, when applicable.

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.

For the period ended February 28, 2019, the Fund had no investments in private investment funds, and there were no investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities as of February 28, 2019.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities—Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities require 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 February 28, 2019 no master netting arrangements exist related to the Funds. The Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities (“SAL”) presents derivative instruments on a gross basis, therefore, no net amounts and no offset amounts exist within the SAL to present below.

The Adviser may not terminate this arrangement prior to December 31, 2019, without the consent of the Directors, unless the investment advisory agreement is terminated.

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. No interfund borrowing or lending balances existed as of February 28, 2019.

Funds utilizing the Interfund lending program, borrowing from the BMO Government Money Market Fund during the period ended February 28, 2019, were as follows:

9.   Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for 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 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). There are 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 February 28, 2019. 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 unrealized capital gains tax, foreign currency and the discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2018, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which reduce the Funds’ 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 which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards are not subject to expiration and are as follows:

Advisory Contracts
(Unaudited)

 

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement for BMO Alternative Strategies Fund

At a meeting held on August 7-8, 2018 (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 (the “Independent Directors”) as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered the initial approval of the subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between BMO Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) and BMO Asset Management Limited (formerly, F&C Management Limited) (the “Subadviser”), on behalf of the BMO Alternative Strategies Fund (the “Fund”).

In considering the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board met with management of the Adviser and with representatives from the Subadviser. The Board and the Adviser discussed the multi-manager structure of the Fund and the proposed new global macro strategy and market neutral strategy to be employed by the Subadviser in managing its allocated portions of the Fund’s assets. The Board and the Adviser also discussed the objectives and principal investment strategies of the Fund; the capabilities of the Subadviser’s investment teams, including performance records and capacity; the proposed fee and expense structure; the competitive landscape and the schedule for implementing the new strategies for the Fund. In addition, representatives of the Subadviser described, among other things, their proposed management of the investment strategies to be employed for the Fund, including the proposed portfolio management team’s experience and its investment approach and process. The Board then discussed the product, the investment teams, the nature and quality of services to be provided by the investment teams, and the fees and expenses charged to the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Directors, was satisfied with the capabilities of the Subadviser and the investment teams to adequately manage their allocated portions of the Fund, and the relative fees and expenses.

In addition to evaluating, among other things, the written information provided by the Adviser, the Board also took into account their accumulated experience in working with the Adviser on matters related to the Fund. The Independent Directors also met separately in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel to review and consider the information provided regarding the Subadvisory Agreement.

Based on their review, the Independent Directors and the full Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund to approve the Subadvisory Agreement. In reaching its decision, the Board considered materials relevant to its review of the Subadvisory Agreement, including a copy of the proposed Subadvisory Agreement; the fees proposed to be paid to the Subadviser; information regarding the Fund’s investment strategies and operations; information regarding the Subadviser’s financial condition, personnel, compliance program and operations; and other information provided in response to the requirements of Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. 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.

Expense Example (Unaudited)    

 

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2019

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 February 28, 2019 (9/1/18-2/28/19).

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 (without limitation) 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 the 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 Fund or the financial statements presented.

    BMO Funds

 

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. The Funds distribute net investment income, if any, and net realized gains (net of any capital loss carryovers) annually. Dividend income, realized gain distributions from underlying funds, and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date except in the case of certain foreign securities, in which dividends are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund’s information agents become aware of such dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Paid-in-kind interest included in interest income, if any, is accrued daily.

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 distribution 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 Measurement

Fair Valuation Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires 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.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosures Framework—Changes to Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”) which introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as eliminates and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years; however, management has elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 effective with the current reporting period as permitted by the standard. The impact of the Fund’s adoption was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, when applicable.

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.

For the year ended February 28, 2019, the Funds had no investments in private investment funds, and there were no investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers between category levels at the end of the period. For the period ended February 28, 2019, 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 February 28, 2019.

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of February 28, 2019, in valuing the Funds’ assets:

As a result of reimbursing expenses including acquired fund expenses, the Adviser reimbursed amounts in excess of the respective share classes operating expenses. The aggregate excess reimbursement is accounted for as “Excess expense reimbursement from investment adviser” included in investment income on the Statements of Operations.

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 fee paid to the Adviser is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Distribution Services Fees—The Funds are subject to a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. 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).

For the period ended February 28, 2019, the Funds were charged the following Administration Fees per class:

Investments in Affiliated Issuers—An affiliated issuer is an entity in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities or any investment in the BMO Funds. Issuers that are affiliates of the Fund at period-end are noted in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Additional security purchases and the reduction of certain securities shares outstanding of existing portfolio holdings that were not considered affiliated in prior years may result in the Funds owning in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares at period-end. The table below reflects transactions during the period with entities that are affiliates as of February 28, 2019. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for which class each Fund’s underlying affiliated issuer represents.

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 2020 Fund and 2050 Fund had interfund lending balances as of February 28, 2019 of $861,586 and $616,984, respectively.

Funds utilizing the Interfund lending program, borrowing from the BMO Government Money Market Fund during the year ended February 28, 2019, were as follows:

6.   Line of Credit

The Corporation, on behalf of the respective Funds, participated in a $25 million unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with UMB Bank, n.a. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25% and a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion with no administrative fee. No borrowings were outstanding under the LOC at February 28, 2019. The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the period ended February 28, 2019.

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 treatments for 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 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 Fund 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 February 28, 2019. Management of the Fund 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.
