Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2014 |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The S&P500 Index posted healthy returns of 32.4% in calendar 2013 and has started 2014 by advancing 2.6% through April 30, 2014. More importantly, U.S. equity indices have compounded annual returns above 19.0% over the last five years and have fully recovered the ground lost from the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Some things never change: stock market returns are variable in the short-term, but long-term investors were rewarded if they remain invested through each downturn and the ensuing recovery. The economy continued to improve at a slow and steady pace, even though current investor sentiment seems mixed. We would be nervous if there is too much financial optimism.
Each of the Century Funds outperformed its benchmark during the six-month period ended April 30, 2014. Please review the Funds Commentary section to learn how each fund performed and our current positioning and outlook.
Blaming weather
The economy started the year with Q1 Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increasing at a slow annual rate of 0.1%, down from a Q4 increase of 2.6%. In large part, this deceleration was due to harsh weather conditions across much of the United States. We are suspicious when companies blame poor weather for weakness in their results, but severe storms significantly impacted productivity during the winter months. We are encouraged that recent corporate commentary indicates that the economy improved in April and May.
Consumer confidence continued to move higher and the unemployment rate has fallen to 6.3%, the lowest level since September of 2008. Employment is an important psychological barometer of investor optimism. Additionally, The Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators (LEI) continued its rise.

Earnings growth continues
In our experience, equity returns usually follow earnings and corporate earnings growth continued its momentum into the new year. 75% of S&P 500 Index companies have reported Q1 earnings above median estimates, as of May 15, 2014. The blended earnings growth for Q1 earnings is 2.1% with Telecommunication Services and Utilities leading the way. Earnings increases continue to be driven by margin expansion rather than revenue growth.

Valuations above historical averages while interest rates remain low
In our opinion, equities appear to be fairly valued at current levels, although interest rate yields remain at very low levels and tend to support higher equity valuations, as investors seek higher returning asset classes. The S&P 500 Index is trading at 15.8X next twelve months’ (NTM) earnings estimates, compared to 14.2X NTM estimates a year ago and above the ten year average of 14.1X.
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001398344-14-003487/century3.jpg)
We also think that most corporations are financially strong versus history (see charts below). Companies are enjoying a far higher profit margin and lower debt leverage than in the recent past. The ratio of total debt/EBITDA in the S&P 500 was at 1.4X as of Q4 2013; down from an average of 3.1X since 1986 and from a peak of 5.7X following the financial crisis of 2008. Conversely, net margins rose from 7.1% in 2008 to 10.1% as of Q4 2013, an increase of 42% from the 2008 low.
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001398344-14-003487/century4.jpg)
With the continued growth in earnings and rising valuations over the past several years, we are also seeing a different trading environment for equities. Correlations between stocks have decreased and now approach more normal levels (see chart on next page). After the financial crisis of 2008 and the Sovereign debt crisis of 2010, equities tended to alternate between a “risk on/risk off” framework. As markets have recovered, there has been a larger delineation between good companies and bad companies, and stocks are trading more on business fundamentals, as opposed to macroeconomic forces in the news headlines. Periods of lower correlations among stocks are generally favorable for bottom up stock-pickers.
The domestic economic recovery seems to be intact and America is now benefitting from lower energy prices than most other developed countries. Multinational corporations continue to navigate the global economic landscape well with another solid

quarter of earnings and low leverage profiles. Globally, improving economic outlooks in Europe and Asia are finally contributing to North American growth. The recent Russian aggression in Ukraine is an important reminder that the democratic G-7 Nations will see more regional conflict with the expansionary ambitions of China and Russia. A synchronized global expansion in 2015 needs geopolitical calm to ensure growth.

Equity ownership among young Americans
Despite the backdrop of a recovering global economic landscape and positive equity returns over the past 1 year, 5 year and 10 year periods, many investors are still underweight stock ownership, due in part to the shock of two significant recessions during the 2000-2010 decade. The Millenial generation (under 35 years of age) appears to be as risk-averse as the Depression-era generation that was born around 1900, having reached adulthood in a period of high unemployment, mounting student loan debt and capital markets volatility.
We believe the investment industry has not made it easy for investors to feel comfortable as shareholders in public companies. It is our responsibility to help prepare younger generations to reach their future educational and retirement goals, through a prudent combination of consistent savings and investment diversification. Alongside regulators and corporations, we need to ensure these younger investors that our capital markets are fair, transparent and capable of helping safeguard shareholder interests, while providing the necessary capital for companies to adapt and grow over time.

CENTURY FUNDS | Fund Commentary |
CENTURY SHARES TRUST | April 30, 2014 (Unaudited) |
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, Century Shares Trust’s Institutional shares returned 9.15%, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index (R1000G), the Fund’s benchmark, which returned 6.95%. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.36%.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
The two primary drivers of performance over the past six months were strong stock market appreciation and portfolio stock selection. The Fund continued to benefit from strong performance of domestic equity markets. In fact, performance of the R1000G was fairly broad-based with 5 of the 10 sectors generating returns of over 9% and only 1 sector (Telecom Services) generating a negative return for the six-month period. In terms of the Fund, the Consumer Discretionary and Healthcare sectors performed best, while the Industrial and Financial sectors were the weakest.
Century Shares Trust’s performance was positively impacted by several stocks. Specifically, Actavis plc (pharmaceutical), LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (chemical), and Allergan, Inc. (specialty pharmaceutical) contributed to performance over the past six months. Actavis benefited from an accretive deal to acquire Forest Laboratories. LyondellBasell has continued to benefit from inexpensive raw materials and operational improvements. Allergan’s stock price increased when Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and Pershing Square Capital made a joint bid to acquire the company; no deal has been reached.
Conversely, Dollar General Corp. (discount retailing), Stericycle, Inc. (medical waste management), and Celgene Corp. (biotechnology) all detracted from performance. Dollar General was weaker as harsh winter weather negatively impacted sales trends. Stericycle traded down on concerns that new business opportunities will pressure both gross and operating margins. Celgene was weaker on patent expiration issues.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED AT PERIOD END?
We are confident in the Fund’s current portfolio positioning, believing the companies we own will do well in a slow growth environment. The Fund is diversified across almost every sector, while maintaining overweight positions in the Materials, Health Care, Financial and Energy sectors. We have a bias toward higher quality growth companies, believing these companies will generate solid growth and returns over time.
With the stock market continuing to generate attractive returns over the past six months, we continue to re-evaluate our portfolio holdings as they reach their price targets. We have sold or trimmed many of these positions. As a result, our weighting in the Consumer Discretionary and Technology sectors has declined. While new investment opportunities are not as plentiful as they were a year ago, we are still able to find attractive stocks to buy.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Risks: The Fund may invest a significant portion of assets in a limited number of companies or in companies within the same market sector. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to financial, market and economic events affecting particular companies or sectors and therefore may experience greater price volatility than funds with more diversified portfolios. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND | April 30, 2014 (Unaudited) |
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, Century Small Cap Select Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 3.21% and the Investor Shares returned 3.07%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index (R2000G), the Fund’s benchmark, which returned 1.27%.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
With the R2000G up only 1.27%, stock selection was the primary driver of performance over the past six months. Stock selection strength was led by Health Care, followed by the Energy and Industrial sectors. Strength in these sectors was partially offset by weakness in Information Technology. The top performing stocks included Basic Energy Services, Inc. (energy), Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (biotechnology), and Gentherm, Inc. (heating/cooling technologies). Basic Energy benefited from higher oil prices, which is expected to lead to increased demand. Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ partnership with Aerial BioPharma, LLC improved its product offering and sales growth profile. Gentherm has continued to generate strong revenue growth, due to strong automotive volume and increased penetration.
Conversely, Proofpoint, Inc. (security software), DSW, Inc. (footwear retailer), and Movado Group, Inc. (watchmaker) were underperformers. Proofpoint traded down as investors grew concerned about decelerating growth in addition to a broader trend of downward pressure on highly valued technology companies. DSW sold off on pricing pressures from aggressive retailers and a general weakening of trends in women’s fashion shoes. Movado was weaker due to a competitive threat from Smart Watches and gross margins being pressured by the repositioning of the Coach brand.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED AT PERIOD END?
We believe the Fund is well positioned to generate attractive returns given its focus on investing in quality growth franchises. The Fund is diversified across almost every sector. Sector allocation within the Portfolio has changed only modestly over the past six months. For example, the Health Care industry exposure decreased from an over-weight to a market-weight. Century’s bottom up investment approach drives our investment decisions.
We expect earnings growth to be the primary driver of market appreciation over the next year and believe this environment plays to Century’s strength of focusing on in-depth fundamental research. By investing time and effort, we believe we gain a strong understanding of the levers that drive growth at our portfolio companies and are able to make more informed decisions that will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns over time. We are confident that we will be able to find attractive investment opportunities among well-run companies with underappreciated growth, despite the overall equity markets being fairly valued today.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Risks: The Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services and health care group of industries. Concentration in a particular industry subjects the Fund to the risks associated with that industry, and as a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility than funds with less concentrated portfolios. In addition, the Fund invests in smaller companies which pose greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, Century Growth Opportunities Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 4.95%, beating the Russell 2500 Growth Index (R2500G), which returned 3.35%.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s outperformance was primarily a result of stock selection. The Healthcare, Industrials and Energy sectors were the largest contributors to portfolio attribution as Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc, (biotechnology), Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. (medical devices), and United Rentals, Inc. (equipment rental) fared well. Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ partnership with Aerial BioPharma, LLC improved Jazz’s product offering and sales growth profile. Salix Pharmaceuticals lifted from an accretive acquisition of Santarus, Inc. United Rentals has benefited from the trend of renting as opposed to owning industrial machinery.
Conversely, Materials, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology detracted from performance as ULTA Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (retail store), Mercadolibre, Inc. (commerce platform), and BroadSoft, Inc. (software) traded down. ULTA missed earnings as their new CEO decided to reinvest in the business and reset earnings expectations. Mercadolibre traded down on Venezuela devaluation concerns and an overall slowing South American economy. Broadsoft suffered from fundamental deterioration and missed earnings as new competitors emerged.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED AT PERIOD END?
Although the markets have traded down recently, we continue to be encouraged by accommodating monetary policy, the improving, albeit slowly, domestic economy and strong corporate balance sheets. However, a fair amount of uncertainty still surrounds markets as investors contemplate rising valuations, the unwinding of federal stimulus and the potential for additional geopolitical conflict.
Given strong equity market returns in 2013 and rising equity valuations we are investing in companies with the expectation that future earnings growth will drive more stock price appreciation than multiple expansion. The current market environment requires deep fundamental research which is a core tenant of our investment process. Currently, the portfolio’s largest weightings are in the Information Technology, Industrials and Healthcare sectors as we continue to invest in companies with attractive secular growth trends at reasonable valuations.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
The investment objective of Century Shares Trust is to seek long-term growth of principal and income. The investment objective of each of Century Small Cap Select Fund and Century Growth Opportunities Fund is to seek long-term capital growth.
A. Security Valuations — Equity securities are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded, as reported by an independent pricing service. If no sale price or official closing price is reported, market value is generally determined based on quotes or closing prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market maker, or reputable pricing service. For unlisted securities and for exchange-listed securities for which there are no reported sales or official closing prices, fair value is generally determined using closing bid prices. In the absence of readily available market quotes, securities and other assets will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations, maturing in 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day.
A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
Level 1 | — | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; |
Level 2 | — | Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; |
Level 3 | — | Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

* | At April 30, 2014 the Funds held investments in common stocks classified as Level 1, with corresponding major categories as shown on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. |
The Funds recognize transfers into and out of all levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the period.
There were no securities classified as Level 3 securities during the period, thus, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used is not applicable for these Funds.
B. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Gain or loss on sales is determined by the use of the highest cost-method, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payments received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, capital gains and return of capital. The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments. The amounts may
Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2014 | 29 |
CENTURY FUNDS | Notes to Financial Statements |
April 30, 2014 (Unaudited) |
subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer. The Funds may invest in equity securities issued or guaranteed by companies organized and based in countries outside of the United States. These securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets. Foreign dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Foreign income and capital gain on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis.
C. Use of Estimates — The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP incorporates estimates made by management in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Funds. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
D. Risks and Uncertainty — Century Shares Trust may invest a significant portion of assets in a limited number of companies. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to financial, market and economic events affecting particular companies and therefore may experience greater price volatility than funds with more diversified portfolios.
Century Small Cap Select Fund concentrates its investments in certain industries detailed in the Portfolio of Investments, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with those industries and may result in greater fluctuation in share value than is experienced in more diversified portfolios. In addition, the Fund invests in smaller companies, which generally involves greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies.
Century Growth Opportunities Fund invests mainly in small-cap and mid-cap companies, which, historically, have been more volatile in price than the stocks of large-cap companies.
Foreign investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments.
At any given time, a significant portion of the assets of each Fund may be invested in securities of companies within the same market sector of the economy. Companies within the same sector often face similar issues and, consequently, may react similarly to changes in market conditions. If a Fund has a significant weighting in one or more sectors, it may be subject to more risk and price volatility.
E. Multiple Classes of Shares — Century Small Cap Select Fund offers two classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Certain expense reductions may differ by class. Because transfer agent fees include a per account fee, each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred.
F. Redemption Fees — In general, shares of each Fund may be redeemed at net asset value. However, upon the redemption of shares held less than 90 days, a redemption fee of 1% of the current net asset value of the shares may be assessed and retained by each share class of each Fund for the benefit of the Fund’s remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital and amounts are shown on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

G. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders — Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and sufficient net investment income and net realized gains, if any, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book and tax differences. Generally accepted accounting principles require that any distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a tax return of capital.

H. Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

CENTURY FUNDS | Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
April 30, 2014 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as short‐term redemption fees and wire fees, and indirect costs, including management fees, and other fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs” (in dollars), of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
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 at the beginning of the period, 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 “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 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 ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance 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 direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.
