Performance Overview
This section of the report is intended to help you understand the performance of each Fund of Seligman Asset Allocation Series and to provide a summary of each Fund’s portfolio characteristics.
Performance data quoted in this report represents past performance and does not guarantee or indicate future investment results. The rates of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total returns of each Fund as of the most recent month end will be made available at www.seligman.com1 by the seventh business day following that month end. Calculations assume reinvestment of distributions, if any. Performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor may pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. The Funds’ manager waived certain fees and reimbursed certain expenses of each Fund other than distribution and service (12b-1) fees, as described in the Series’ prospectus. Absent such waivers and reimbursements, returns and yields would have been lower.
Returns for Class A shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 5.75% maximum sales charge that became effective on January 7, 2008. Returns for Class B shares are calculated with and without the effect of the maximum 5% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Returns for Class B shares since inception reflect automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately eight years after their date of purchase. Returns for Class C shares are calculated with and without the effect of the 1% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within one year of purchase. Returns for Class C shares would have been lower for periods prior to June 4, 2007 if the 1% initial sales charge then in effect was incurred.
An investment in a Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

** | | The Dow Jones Aggressive Portfolio Index (Global Series and US Series), the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio Index (Global Series and US Series) and the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index (Global Series and US Series) (“Dow Jones Indices”), the Lipper Fund of Funds (Affiliated) Average, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Average and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average are unmanaged benchmarks that assume reinvestment of all distributions and exclude the effect of fees, taxes, and sales charges. The Dow Jones Indices also exclude the effect of expenses. The Dow Jones Aggressive Portfolio Index (Global Series and U.S. Series) measures balanced and multi-asset-class portfolios with risk profiles that are set monthly at 100% of the current risk of an all-equity stock portfolio. The Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio Index (Global Series and US Series) measures balanced and multi-asset-class portfolios with risk profiles that are set monthly at 80% of the current risk of an all-equity stock portfolio. The Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index (Global Series and US Series) measures balanced and multi-asset-class portfolios with risk profiles that are set monthly at 60% of the current risk of an all-equity stock portfolio. The Lipper Fund of Funds (Affiliated) Average measures the performance of funds that invest 80% or more of their assets in mutual funds that are managed by an affiliated investment manager. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Average measures the performance of funds that, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of between 40% - 60% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents. The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average measures the performance of funds that, by portfolio practice, invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. |
# | | The CDSC is 5% if you sell your shares within one year of purchase and 2% for the five-year period. |
## | | Return for Class B shares since inception reflects automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately eight years after their date of purchase. |
† | | Commencement of investment operations for Class A shares was 1/10/00. Class A share returns were computed from the commencement of investment operations. Class B and C shares were offered to the public on 1/10/00, but were first issued at the dates indicated below. Total returns for Class B and C shares of the Fund have been computed from the commencement of investment operations and incorporate the total return of Class A shares of the Fund from the commencement of investment operations through the initial issuance date of each of the other classes of shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses associated with the Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan for those classes that would have been incurred had they first been issued on the commencement of investment operations date. The total returns of Class B and C shares from their individual initial issuance dates would be different, and may be lower, than those shown above. |

Understanding and Comparing
Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund of the Series, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The information below is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare them with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect the operating expenses of the Underlying Funds, or any transactional costs, such as sales charges (also known as loads) on certain purchases or redemptions. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only, and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. In addition, if Underlying Fund expenses and transactional costs were included, your total expenses would have been higher.
The table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of January 1, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period ended June 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual expenses and actual account values. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at the beginning of the period by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for the share class of the Fund you own to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The table below also provides information about hypothetical expenses and hypothetical account values based on the actual expense ratio of each Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any Fund. The hypothetical expenses and account values may not be used to estimate the ending account value or the actual expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing expenses 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 mutual funds.

* | Expenses of Class B and Class C shares are higher than expenses of Class A shares due to the higher 12b-1 fees paid by Class B and Class C shares. See the Series’ prospectus for a description of each share class and its expenses and sale charges. The Funds’ manager waived its investment management fee and/or reimbursed a portion of each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service (12b-1) fees, as described in Note 4. Absent such waiver/reimbursement, the expense ratios and expenses paid by a shareholder for the period would have been higher. Certain one-time non-recurring charges (see Note 4c of the financial statements) are not annualized. |
** | Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio based on actual expenses for the period January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (number of days in the period). |

1. | Organization and Multiple Classes of Shares — Seligman Asset Allocation Series, Inc. (the “Series”) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end diversified management investment company (Note 10). The Series consists of four separate funds: Seligman Asset Allocation Aggressive Growth Fund (“Aggressive Growth Fund”), Seligman Asset Allocation Growth Fund (“Growth Fund”), Seligman Asset Allocation Moderate Growth Fund (“Moderate Growth Fund”) and Seligman Asset Allocation Balanced Fund (“Balanced Fund”). Each Fund invests in a combination of Class A shares of other Seligman mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). Each Fund of the Series offers three classes of shares. |
| | |
| Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 5.75% and are subject to a continuing service fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class A shares purchased in an amount of $1,000,000 or more are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% on redemptions made within 18 months of purchase. Eligible employee benefit plans which have at least $2,000,000 in plan assets may purchase Class A shares at net asset value, but, in the event of plan termination, will be subject to a CDSC of 1% on shares purchased within 18 months prior to plan termination.
Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 5% on redemptions made in the first year of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after their date of purchase. If Class B shares of the Fund are exchanged for Class B shares of another Seligman or RiverSource mutual fund, the holding period of the shares exchanged will be added to the holding period of the shares acquired, both for determining the applicable CDSC and the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares. |
| | |
| Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within one year of purchase.
The Board of Directors of the Series approved the automatic conversion of all of the Funds’ outstanding Class D shares to Class C shares at their relative net asset values. The conversion was implemented on May 16, 2008. Effective at the close of business on May 16, 2008, the Funds no longer offer Class D shares. The conversion did not affect individual shareholder account values. |
| | |
| The three classes of shares for each Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and service (12b-1) fees and certain other class-specific expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required. |
| | |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Series: |
| | |
| a. | Security Valuation and Risk — Underlying Funds owned by a Fund are valued at their respective net asset values. Securities traded on an exchange are valued at the last sales price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded. Securities not listed on an exchange or security market, or securities for which there is no last sales price, are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices.Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise no longer valid or reliable) are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors. This can occur in the event of, among other things, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, market disruptions, intra-day trading halts, and extreme market volatility. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the prices used by other mutual funds to determine net asset value or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the security. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are valued at current market quotations or may be valued at amortized cost if it approximates fair value. Short-term holdings that |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
| | |
| | mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations until the 60th day prior to maturity and are then valued as described above for securities maturing in 60 days or less. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value. |
| | |
| | Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a three-tier hierarchy to classify the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques (as described above) to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in inactive markets or for similar investments); and Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value) (Note 3). Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
| | |
| | The following risks apply to some or all of the Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest. An Underlying Fund may concentrate its investments in stocks of large-, medium- or small-capitalization companies. At times, one or more of these groups of stocks has experienced periods of volatility and negative performance. During such periods, the value of such stocks may decline and the performance of an Underlying Fund investing in such companies may be negatively affected. The products of technology companies may be subject to severe competition and rapid obsolescence, and technology stocks may be subject to greater price fluctuation, government regulation, and limited liquidity as compared to other investments. There are specific risks associated with global investing, such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxation, differences in financial reporting practices, and rapid changes in political and economic conditions. Investments in emerging market companies should be considered speculative. Investments in real estate securities may be subject to specific risks, such as risks of general and local economic conditions, and risks related to individual properties. To the extent that a Fund has a substantial percentage of its assets exposed to an industry through its investment in the Underlying Funds, the Fund’s performance may be negatively affected if that industry falls out of favor. A portfolio with fewer holdings may be subject to greater volatility than a portfolio with a greater number of holdings. US government and other fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and market risk. Securities that are not guaranteed by the US Government may have increased credit risk, including, but not limited to, the risk of non-payment of principal or interest. High-yield securities are subject to higher volatility in yield and market value and a greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher-rated, investment-grade fixed-income securities. |
| | |
| b. | Multiple Class Allocations — Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of that Fund based upon the relative value of the shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include distribution and service (12b-1) fees and any other items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and transfer agency fees (from June 13, 2009) were the only class-specific expenses. |
| | |
| c. | Security Transactions and Related Investment Income — Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Identified cost of investments sold is used for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends receivable are recorded on ex-dividend dates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments are initially recorded as dividend income as reported by the issuers. Portions of these distributions will be appropriately recharacterized as capital gains or returns of capital based on reporting from the issuers received after the end of the year. The annual financial statements will reflect any such recharacterizations. |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
| | |
| d. | Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend dates. |
| | |
| e. | Taxes — Each Fund in the Series has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to distribute substantially all taxable net income and net gain realized. |
| | |
| | Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” requires the Funds to measure and recognize in their financial statements the benefit of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) on an income tax return if such position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. Based upon their review of tax positions, the Funds have determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2009. |
| | |
3. | Fair Value Measurements — A summary of the value of the Funds’ investments as of June 30, 2009, based on the level of inputs used in accordance with SFAS 157 (Note 2a) and FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” is as follows: |

4. | Management and Distribution Services, and Other Related-Party Transactions — |
| | |
| a. | Management and Administrative Services — RiverSource Investments, LLC (“RiverSource” or the “Manager”) receives a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, equal to 0.10% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets. J.&W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (“JWS”), the Series’ former manager, voluntarily waived its management fee and reimbursed each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service (12b-1) fees, that exceeded 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets through March 31, 2005. From April 1, 2005 through April 30, 2010, JWS had and, effective November 7, 2008, the Manager has contractually undertaken to waive its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund’s expenses in order to limit Fund expenses (other than distribution and service (12b-1) fees) to 0.40% per annum of average daily net assets for Aggressive Growth Fund and Growth Fund and to limit Fund expenses to 0.25% per annum of average daily net assets for Moderate Growth Fund and Balanced Fund. From May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Manager has contractually undertaken to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service (12b-1) fees, that exceed 0.75% per annum of average daily net assets. |
| | |
| | For the six months ended June 30, 2009, RiverSource waived management fees and reimbursed expenses as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Waiver | | Reimbursement | |
| | | | | |
Aggressive Growth | | | $ | 5,491 | | | | $ | 36,851 | | |

| |
| At June 30, 2009, the amounts receivable from the Manager were as follows: |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Fund | | Amount | |
| | | |
Aggressive Growth | | | $ 9,014 | |
| | | | |
Growth | | | 5,943 | |
| | | | |
Moderate Growth | | | 10,939 | |
| | | | |
Balanced | | | 14,769 | |
| | | | |
| | |
| | Under an Administrative Services Agreement, Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise”), the parent company of the Manager, administers certain aspects of the Funds’ business and other affairs at no cost. Ameriprise provides the Funds with office space, and certain administrative and other services and executive and other personnel as are necessary for operations of the Funds. Ameriprise pays all of the compensation of Board members of the Series who are employees or consultants of RiverSource and of the officers and other personnel of the Series. Ameriprise reserves the right to seek Board approval to increase the fees payable by the Funds under the Administrative Services Agreement. However, Ameriprise anticipates that any such increase in fees would be offset by decreases in advisory fees under the Investment Management Services Agreement and in certain other Fund expenses. If an increase in fees under the Administrative Services Agreement would not be offset by decreases in advisory fees and other expenses, the Funds will inform shareholders prior to the effectiveness of such increase. |
| | |
| b. | Distribution Services — Each Fund of the Series has an Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to distribution of its shares. Under the Plan, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C, service organizations can enter into agreements with RiverSource Fund Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) and receive a continuing service fee of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the particular service organizations for providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. To avoid any duplication of the service fee, the service fees to be paid by each class of a Fund will be reduced by the dollar amount of any service fees paid by the Underlying Funds with respect to shares owned by the Fund. |
| | |
| | For the six months ended June 30, 2009, service fees incurred by the Aggressive Growth Fund, Growth Fund, Moderate Growth Fund, and the Balanced Fund (net of service fees paid by Underlying Funds), aggregated $0, $0, $0, and $265, respectively, or 0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%, and 0.01%, respectively, per annum of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class A shares. |
| | |
| | Under the Plan, with respect to Class C service organizations may receive up to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets for providing other distribution assistance. Such fees are paid monthly by the Funds to the Distributor pursuant to the Plan. |
| | |
| | For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the service fees and distribution fees incurred under the Plan (net of service fees paid by Underlying Funds), and their equivalent per annum percentage of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, were as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class B | | Class C | |
| | | | | |
Fund | | Amount | | Fee Rate | | Amount | | Fee Rate | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| |
| For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Distributor, agent for the distribution of the Series’ shares and an affiliate of the Manager, received the following sales charges: |

| | |
| c. | Transfer Agency Services — Under a Transfer Agency Agreement, RiverSource Service Corporation (“RSC”), an affiliate of the Manager, maintains Fund shareholder accounts and records and provides Fund shareholder services. Effective June 15, 2009, the Fund pays RSC an annual account-based fee at a rate equal to $19.50 for Class A, $20.50 for Class B and $20.00 for Class C for this service. RSC also charges an annual fee of $3 per account serviced directly by the Fund or its designated agent. The Fund also pays RSC an annual asset-based fee at a rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R2 (formerly Class R) shares. RSC charges an annual fee of $5 per inactive account, charged on a pro-rata basis for the 12-month period from the date the account becomes inactive. For the period from June 15, 2009 to June 30, 2009, the total RSC charges for transfer agency fees amounted to $1,953 for Aggressive Growth Fund, $2,304 for Growth Fund, $2,205 for Moderate Growth Fund, and $999 for Balanced Fund. |
| | |
| | Prior to June 15, 2009, Seligman Data Corp. (“SDC”), owned by certain associated investment companies, provided shareholder servicing and transfer agency services to the Funds, as well as certain other Seligman funds. In January 2009, the Board approved the Funds’ termination of the shareholder servicing and transfer agency relationship with SDC and the engagement of RSC to provide shareholder servicing and transfer agency services. As a result of the Board’s termination of the shareholder servicing and transfer agency relationship with SDC (which was SDC’s sole business), SDC has exited the transfer agent business, effective June 15, 2009. |
| | |
| | For the period from January 1, 2009 to June 15, 2009, SDC charged the Funds the following amounts for shareholder account and transfer agency services in accordance with a methodology approved by the Series’ directors: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Amount | | | Fund | | Amount | |
| | | | | | | | |
Aggressive Growth | | | $ | 7,125 | | | | Moderate Growth | | | | $8,363 | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Growth | | | | 7,994 | | | | Balanced | | | | 5,089 | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | |
| | Costs of SDC directly attributable to each Fund were charged to the Fund. The remaining charges were allocated to the Funds by SDC pursuant to a formula based on each Fund’s net assets, shareholder transaction volumes and number of shareholder accounts. |
| | |
| | In connection with the termination of the Seligman funds’ relationship with SDC, each Underlying Fund (and not each Fund directly) incurred certain non-recurring charges, including charges relating to the remaining periods of SDC’s leases (the “Non-Recurring Charges”). These Non-Recurring Charges were incurred over a period from January 28, 2009 to June 12, 2009, and approximated 0.15% of each Underlying Fund’s average daily net assets for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (not annualized). Although shareholders of the Funds will not directly incur the Non-Recurring Charges, each Fund’s shareholders will bear a proportionate share of the Non-Recurring Charges indirectly as a result of such Funds’ investment in the Underlying Funds. |
| | |
| d. | Directors’ Fees and Expenses — Compensation to Board members and certain other core expenses are paid directly by the affiliated Underlying Funds in which each Fund invests. |
| | |
| | The Series had a compensation arrangement under which directors who received fees prior to November 7, 2008 could elect to defer receiving such fees. Participating directors elected to have their deferred fees accrue interest or earn a return based on the performance of selected Funds of the Series or other funds in the Seligman Group of Investment Companies. Deferred fees and related accrued earnings are not |

| Certain officers and directors of the Series are officers or directors of the Manager, Ameriprise, the Distributor, RSC, Seligman Data Corp. and/or the Underlying Funds. |
| | |
5. | Purchases and Sales of Securities — Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (Underlying Funds), excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were as follows: |
| | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales | |
| | | | | |
Aggressive Growth | | | $1,249,160 | | | $2,110,337 | |

6. | Federal Tax Information — Certain components of income, expense and realized capital gain and loss are recognized at different times or have a different character for federal income tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share of the Fund. As a result of the differences described above, the treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. Further, the cost of investments also can differ for federal income tax purposes. |
| |
| The tax basis information presented is based on operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and will vary from the final tax information as of the Fund’s year end. |
| |
| At June 30, 2009, the tax basis cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for each Fund was as follows: |
| | | | |
Fund | | | Tax Basis Cost | |
| | | | |
Aggressive Growth Fund | | | $17,225,779 | |
| | | | |
Growth Fund | | | 27,605,725 | |

Moderate Growth Fund | | | $27,873,401 | |
| | | | |
Balanced Fund | | | 11,398,060 | |
| | | | |
| |
| The tax basis cost was greater than the cost for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the following tax deferral of losses on wash sales: |

| From November 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Aggressive Growth Fund, the Moderate Growth Fund and the Balanced Fund incurred $79,666, $57,924 and $126,275, respectively, of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Funds intend to elect to defer these post-October losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. These losses will be available to offset future taxable net gains and are included in current period net realized loss. |

9. | Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings — In late 2003, JWS conducted an extensive internal review concerning mutual fund trading practices. JWS’s review, which covered the period 2001-2003, noted one arrangement that permitted frequent trading in certain open-end registered investment companies managed by JWS (the “Seligman Funds”); this arrangement was in the process of being closed down by JWS before September 2003. JWS identified three other arrangements that permitted frequent trading, all of which had been terminated by September 2002. In January 2004, JWS, on a voluntary basis, publicly disclosed these four arrangements to its clients and to shareholders of the Seligman Funds. JWS also provided information concerning mutual fund trading practices to the SEC and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (“NYAG”). |
| |
| In September 2006, the NYAG commenced a civil action in New York State Supreme Court against JWS, Seligman Advisors, Inc., Seligman Data Corp. and Brian T. Zino (collectively, the “Seligman Parties”), alleging, in substance, that the Seligman Parties permitted various persons to engage in frequent trading and, as a result, the prospectus disclosure used by the registered investment companies then managed by JWS is and has been misleading. The NYAG included other related claims and also claimed that the fees charged by JWS to the Seligman Funds were excessive. |
| |
| On March 13, 2009, without admitting or denying any violations of law or wrongdoing, the Seligman Parties entered into a stipulation of settlement with the NYAG and settled the claims made by the NYAG. Under the terms of the settlement, JWS paid $11.3 million to four Seligman Funds, none of which was a Fund of Seligman Asset Allocation Series, Inc. This settlement resolves all outstanding matters between the Seligman Parties and the NYAG. |
| |
| In addition to the foregoing matter, the New York staff of the SEC indicated in September 2005 that it was considering recommending to the Commissioners of the SEC the instituting of a formal action against JWS and Seligman Advisors, Inc. relating to frequent trading in the Seligman Funds. JWS responded to the staff in October 2005 that it believed that any action would be both inappropriate and unnecessary, especially in light of the fact that JWS had previously resolved the underlying issue with the Independent Directors of the Seligman Funds and made recompense to the affected Seligman Funds. There have been no further developments with the SEC on this matter. |
| |
| In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company (now known as RiverSource) mutual funds and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “District Court”). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery. Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Eighth Circuit”) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the U.S. Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. |
| |
| In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegation, American Express Financial Corporation (“AEFC”, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise”)), entered into settlement agreements with the SEC and Minnesota Department of Commerce (“MDOC”) related to market timing |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
| |
| activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf.1 Ameriprise and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the RiverSource Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees. |
| |
| Ameriprise and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise believes that the RiverSource and Seligman Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the RiverSource and Seligman Funds or the ability of Ameriprise or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the RiverSource and Seligman Funds. Additionally, Ameriprise is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the SEC on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.1 |
| |
| There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the RiverSource and Seligman Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the RiverSource and Seligman Funds or the ability of Ameriprise or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the RiverSource and Seligman Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise. |
| |
10. | Fund Mergers — In June 2009, shareholders of the Funds approved mergers of the Funds as follows: Aggressive Growth Fund and Growth Fund will merge into the RiverSource Portfolio Builder Total Equity Fund; Moderate Growth Fund will merge into RiverSource Portfolio Builder Aggressive Fund; and Balanced Fund will merge into RiverSource Portfolio Builder Moderate Aggressive Fund. The mergers occurred on August 14, 2009. |
| |
11. | Subsequent Events — Management has evaluated Fund related events and transactions that occurred during the period from the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities through August 27, 2009, the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements, except as stated in Note 10 above. |

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On March 11, 2009, Ernst & Young LLP was selected as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the 2009 fiscal year. A majority of the Series’ Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP effective March 18, 2009. The predecessor independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the Funds’ financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During such fiscal periods and through March 11, 2009, there were no disagreements between the Funds and the predecessor independent registered public accounting firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope or procedures, which such disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the predecessor independent registered public accounting firm, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports on the financial statements for such fiscal periods.

| | The Board Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board reviews candidates for Board membership including candidates recommended by shareholders. To be considered as a candidate for director, recommendations must include a curriculum vitae and be mailed to the Chairman of the Board, RiverSource Family of Funds, 901 Marquette Avenue South, Suite 2810, Minneapolis, MN 55402-3268. To be timely for consideration by the Committee, the submission, including all required information, must be submitted in writing not less than 120 days before the date of the proxy statement for the previous year’s meeting of shareholders, if such a meeting was held. The Committee will consider only one candidate submitted by such a shareholder or group for nomination for election at a meeting of shareholders, if such a meeting is held. The Committee will not consider self-nominated candidates or candidates nominated by members of a candidate’s family, including such candidate’s spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, nieces and nephews. |
| | The Committee will consider and evaluate candidates submitted by the nominating shareholder or group on the basis of the same criteria as those used to consider and evaluate candidates submitted from other sources. The Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Director candidates, including (but not limited to): (i) the candidate’s knowledge in matters relating to the investment company industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the candidate as a director or senior officer of other public or private companies; (iii) the candidate’s educational background; (iv) the candidate’s reputation for high ethical standards and personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board’s existing mix of skills and qualifications; (vi) the candidate’s perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the candidate’s ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly, work collaboratively with other members of the Board and carry out his or her duties in the best interests of the Fund; (vii) the candidate’s ability to qualify as an independent director; and (viii) such other criteria as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies or other factors. |
