DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder to the Funds, you will incur no transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends, or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees. However, the Funds do incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2005 and held until April 30, 2006.

Actual Return. 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 “Expense Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return. The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect transaction fees, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Financial Investors Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, of Financial Investors Trust (the “Funds”) including the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund, and the Prime Money Market Fund as of April 30, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. 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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 portfolios constituting the Financial Investors Trust as of April 30, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Investors Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The financial statements included herein relate to the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Prime Money Market Fund (the “Funds”). The financial statements of the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund is presented separately.

The U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Prime Money Market Fund offer two classes of shares (Class I and Class II). Class I and Class II are identical in all respects with the exception that Class II shares charge a distribution fee and have a lower investment minimum. Each Class of shares has equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that Class II has exclusive voting rights with respect to its Distribution Plan. Income, expenses (other than expenses incurred under the Class II Distribution Plan and other class specific expenses) and realized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon their relative net assets.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation: Each of the Money Market Funds values securities utilizing the amortized cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which each Money Market Fund must adhere to certain conditions. Under this method, investments are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis which is the same basis the Funds use for federal income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued and recorded as earned.

Repurchase Agreements: In some cases, the Funds’ custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements, unless it is a tri-party repurchase agreement. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default by or bankruptcy of the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying Financial Statements.

At April 30, 2006 the funds had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryovers of:

	Capital Loss		Year of
Fund	Carryovers		Expiration
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund	$	668	2013
U.S. Government Money Market Fund	$	1,193	2008
Prime Money Market Fund	$	10,808	2013
	$	459	2014

The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and U.S. Government Money Market Fund used $41 and $219 of capital loss carryovers in the current period to offset net realized gains for federal income tax purposes.

20

Classification of Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of accumulated net realized gains, if any, are declared at least once a year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the years ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

	U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund				U.S. Government Money Market Fund				Prime Money Market Fund
	2006		2005		2006		2005		2006		2005
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	1,275,307	$	593,279	$	9,025,742	$	4,483,664	$	1,188,491	$	1,152,287
Long-Term capital gains	—		—		—		—		—		—
Total	$	1,275,307	$	593,279	$	9,025,742	$	4,483,664	$	1,188,491	$	1,152,287

As of April 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund			U.S. Government Money Market Fund			Prime Money Market Fund
Undistributed net investment income	$	464		$	1,490		$	—
Accumulated net realized loss	(668		)	(1,193		)	(11,267		)
Total	$	(204	)	$	297		$	(11,267	)

The Funds adjust the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the year ended April 30, 2006, amounts have been reclassified on the U.S. Government Money Market Fund to reflect a decrease in accumulated net realized loss of $1,046 and a decrease in paid in capital of $1,046. In addition, amounts have been reclassified on the Prime Money Market Fund to reflect a decrease in overdistributed net investment income of $4,914, and a decrease in paid capital of $4,914. The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund had no reclassifications. Net assets of the Funds were unaffected by the reclassifications and the calculation of net investment income in the Financial Highlights excludes these adjustments.

These reclassifications are primarily the result of differing book/tax distribution amounts and expiration of capital loss carryovers.

Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund or a fund specific share class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all funds in the Trust based on average net assets.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2.INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES, ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At a special meeting on June 10, 2003, shareholders of each of the Funds approved an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”). Pursuant to these advisory agreements, SSgA FM is entitled to an advisory fee at the annual rate of .105% of each Fund’s average net assets. SSgA FM has voluntarily agreed to waive .035% of their advisory fee until assets for each Fund reach $1 billion.

GEAM and SSgA FM were entitled to the following advisory fee schedule:

DISCLOSURE REGARDING APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

On March 14, 2006, the Board of Trustees met in person to discuss, among other things, the renewal and approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and SSgA FM in accordance with Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trustees were informed that SSgA FM, as the investment adviser, has responsibility for the investment and management of the Funds’ assets and securities. The Trustees last approved the Advisory Agreement for the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and Prime Money Market Funds in March 2005. It was also noted that the Independent Trustees met with Fund Counsel before the Board meeting commenced and had discussed the Advisory Agreement and other related materials.

In approving the Advisory Agreements the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors with respect to the Funds:

Investment Advisory Fee Rate: The Trustees reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee annual rate of 0.105% of each Fund’s average daily total assets paid by the Trust to SSgA FM in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by SSgA FM.

The Board received and considered information comparing the Funds’ contractual advisory fee and overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group and universe of funds provided by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data.

23

The Trustees further determined that the total expense ratios of 0.330% for the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.200% for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund Class I, 0.450% for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund Class II, and 0.200% for the Prime Money Market Fund Class I , all net of any fee waivers in place, are comparable to others within such Fund’s peer universe.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreements: The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees reviewed certain background materials supplied by SSgA FM.

The Trustees noted having received reports from SSgA FM at each regular Board meeting throughout the year related to the services rendered by SSgA FM. The Trustees reviewed background information about SSgA FM, including their Form ADV. The Trustees considered the background and experience of SSgA FM’s management in connection with the Funds including reviewing the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of each of the Funds and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments.

The Trustees also reviewed, among other things, SSgA FM’s method of determining credit risk as required by Rule 2a-7, client transactions, insider trading policies and procedures and a description of SSgA FM’s code of ethics.

Money Market Funds’ Performance: The Trustees received and considered the one, three and five year performance, as applicable, of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information comparing the performance of similarly managed SSgA FM products for the same time periods.

SSgA FM Profitability: The Trustees received and considered a profitability analysis of SSgA FM based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered the profits, if any, realized by SSgA FM in connection with the operation of the Funds and whether the amount of the profit, if any, is fair to the Trust.

Economies of Scale: The Trustees considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to each Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. The Trustees considered whether any economies of scale, fall out benefits or any other direct or indirect benefits would result from the relationship with SSgA FM.

Other Benefits to SSgA FM: The Trustees reviewed and considered any other benefits derived or to be derived by SSgA FM from the relationship with the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the top ten broker-dealers used by SSgA FM as well as SSgA FM’s brokerage practices.

Conclusions: In selecting SSgA FM and approving the Advisory Agreement and the investment advisory fee under such agreements, the Trustees concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Trustees was identified by the Trustees to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. Further, the Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

24

The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that:

· the investment advisory fees received by SSgA FM with respect to each Fund are comparable to others with in such Fund’s peer universe;

· the nature, extent and quality of services rendered by SSgA FM under the Advisory Agreement is adequate;

· the performance of each Fund is comparable to the performance of similarly managed SSgA FM products for the same time periods;

· the profit, if any, realized by SSgA FM in connection with the operation of the Funds is fair to the Trust;

· the relatively small size of each Fund does not permit for economies of scale in SSgA FM’s provision of services to the Funds; and

· there are no material other benefits accruing to SSgA FM in connection with SSgA FM’s relationship with the Funds.

Based on the Trustees’ deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that SSgA FM’s compensation for investment advisory services is consistent with the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders and re-approved the Investment Advisory Agreement.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency.
Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of
your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to
lose money by investing in the Fund.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder to the Fund, you will incur no transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends, or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees. However, the Fund does incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2005 and held until April 30, 2006.

Actual Return. 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 “Expense Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return. The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect transaction fees, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

						Expense Paid
		Beginning Account		Ending Account		During Period
		Value 11/1/05		Value 4/30/06		11/1/05 - 4/30/06*
Class I	Actual Fund Return	$	1,000.00	$	1,020.80	$1.00
	Hypothetical Fund Return	$	1,000.00	$	1,023.80	$1.00
Class II	Actual Fund Return	$	1,000.00	$	1,019.60	$2.20
	Hypothetical Fund Return	$	1,000.00	$	1,022.61	$2.21

* Expenses are equal to the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund Class I and Class II annualized expense ratios of .20% and .44%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the second fiscal half-year divided by 365 days in the current year (to reflect the one-half year period).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Financial Investors Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund [one of the portfolios constituting the Financial Investors Trust (the “Fund”)] as of April 30, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s  management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audit 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement   presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund of the Financial Investors Trust as of April 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Investors Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The financial statements included herein relate to the Trust’s American Freedom Family of Funds. The American Freedom Family of Funds includes the U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “fund”). The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately.

The Fund offers two classes of shares (Class I and Class II). Class I and Class II are identical in all respects with the exception that Class II shares charge a distribution fee and have a lower investment minimum. Each Class of shares has equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that Class II has exclusive voting rights with respect to its Distribution Plan. Income, expenses (other than expenses incurred under the Class II Distribution Plan and other class specific expenses) and realized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon their relative net assets.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation: The Fund values securities utilizing the amortized cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Fund must adhere to certain conditions. Under this method, investments are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis which is the same basis the Fund uses for federal income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued and recorded as earned.

Repurchase Agreements: In some cases, the Fund’s custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements, unless it is a tri-party repurchase agreement. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default by or bankruptcy of the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying Financial Statements.

Classification of Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of accumulated net realized gains, if any, are declared at least once a year. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

10

The tax character of the distributions paid by the U.S. Government Money Market Fund for the years ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were as follows:

	2006		2005
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	4,626,959	$	1,985,063
Long-Term capital gain	—		—
Total	$	4,626,959	$	1,985,063

As of April 30, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Fund was as follows:

	2006		2005
Undistributed ordinary income	$	139	$	0
Accumulated net realized gain	0		0
Total	$	139	$	0

Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund or a fund specific share class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all funds in the Trust based on average net assets.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2.INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES, ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM”). Pursuant to that advisory agreement, SSgA FM is entitled to an advisory fee at the annual rate of .105% of average net assets of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. SSgA FM has voluntarily agreed to waive .035% of its advisory fee until the assets of the Fund reach $1 billion.

ALPS Mutual Funds Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) serves as the Fund’s administrator. ALPS is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund for its administrative services, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the following fee schedule:

	U.S. Government
Average Net Assets	Money Market Fund*
First $500 million	0.16%
Next $500 million	0.14%
In excess of $1 billion	0.12%

*Subject to a minimum monthly fee of $30,000.

11

ALPS has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its administration fees until April 30, 2007, to the extent necessary for Class I to maintain a total expense ratio of no more than .20% of its average net assets, and Class II to maintain a total expense ratio of no more than .45% of its average net assets, respectively. After that date, the fee waivers by ALPS are voluntary and may be terminated at any time.

Administration fee includes: fund administration, fund accounting, daily pricing, registration, shareholder servicing, transfer agency, fund ratings and audit.

The Trustees have adopted a Distribution Plan on behalf of Class II pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Distribution Plan provides for payment of a fee to the Distributor, ALPS Distributors, Inc., at the annual rate of .25% of the average net assets of Class II of the Fund.

Shareholders holding more than 5.00% of the Funds’ outstanding shares as of April 30, 2006, constituted 79.4% of the Fund.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

On March 14, 2006, the Board of Trustees met in person to discuss, among other things, the renewal and approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and SSgA FM in accordance with Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trustees were informed that SSgA FM, as the investment adviser, has responsibility for the investment and management of the Funds’ assets and securities. The Trustees last approved the Advisory Agreement for the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund in March 2005. It was also noted that the Independent Trustees met with Fund Counsel before the Board meeting commenced and had discussed the Advisory Agreement and other related materials.

In approving the Advisory Agreement the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors with respect to the Fund:

Investment Advisory Fee: The Trustees reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee annual rate of 0.105% of the Fund’s average daily total assets paid by the Trust to SSgA FM in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by SSgA FM.

12

The Board received and considered information comparing the Funds’ contractual advisory fee and overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group and universe of funds provided by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data.

The Trustees further determined that the total expense ratios of 0.200% for the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund Class I and 0.429% for the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund Class II, each net of any fee waivers in place, are comparable to others within the Fund’s peer universe.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreement: The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed certain background materials supplied by SSgA FM.

The Trustees noted having received reports from SSgA FM at each regular Board meeting throughout the year related to the services rendered by SSgA FM. The Trustees reviewed background information about SSgA FM, including their Form ADV. The Trustees considered the background and experience of SSgA FM’s management in connection with the Fund including reviewing the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments.

The Trustees also reviewed, among other things, SSgA FM’s method of determining credit risk as required by Rule 2a-7, client transactions, insider trading policies and procedures and a description of SSgA FM’s code of ethics.

Money Market Funds’ Performance: The Trustees received and considered the one year performance of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information comparing the performance of similarly managed SSgA FM products for the same time period.

SSgA FM Profitability: The Trustees received and considered a profitability analysis of SSgA FM based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered the profits, if any, realized by SSgA FM in connection with the operation of the Fund and whether the amount of the profit, if any, is fair to the Trust.

Economies of Scale: The Trustees considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. The Trustees considered whether any economies of scale, fall out benefits or any other direct or indirect benefits would result from the relationship with SSgA FM.

Other Benefits to SSgA FM: The Trustees reviewed and considered any other benefits derived or to be derived by SSgA FM from the relationship with the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the top ten broker-dealers used by SSgA FM as well as SSgA FM’s brokerage practices.

Conclusions: In selecting SSgA FM and approving the Advisory Agreement and the investment advisory fee under such agreements, the Trustees concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Trustees was identified by the Trustees to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. Further, the Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

13

The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that:

·     the investment advisory fees received by SSgA FM with respect to the Fund are comparable to others within such Fund’s peer universe;

·     the nature, extent and quality of services rendered by SSgA FM under the Advisory Agreement is adequate;

·     the performance of the Fund is comparable to the performance of similarly managed SSgA FM products for the same time periods;

·     the profit, if any, realized by SSgA FM in connection with the operation of the Fund is fair to the Trust;

·     the relatively small size of the Fund does not permit for economies of scale in SSgA FM’s provision of services to the Fund; and

·     there are no material other benefits accruing to SSgA FM in connection with SSgA FM’s relationship with the Fund. 

Based on the Trustees’ deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that SSgA FM’s compensation for investment advisory services is consistent with the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders and re-approved the Investment Advisory Agreement.
