Dear Shareholders,
Equities recovered
In the final months of 2013, the U.S. economy embraced a robust recovery. After five years of only modest progress, the pace of economic growth picked up, job gains continued, manufacturing activity accelerated and a rebound in the housing market showed staying power. Growth, as measured by gross domestic product, was 4.1% in the third quarter, with expectations for a solid fourth quarter. Job growth averaged close to 200,000 monthly. Industrial production rose at a rate of 3.3%, considerably higher than the 12-month average of 2.5%. Factories were busier than at any point since the 2008/2009 recession, with capacity utilization at 79%. Orders for durable goods were strong, bolstered by rising auto sales. Holiday spending was solid, especially online sales, which rose 10% year over year, despite a shorter season.
Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve's (the Fed's) announcement that it would slowly retreat from its monthly bond buying program and a bipartisan budget deal in Washington were welcome news for investors. Stocks climbed to new highs in the fourth quarter, while bonds retreated as yields moved higher. Small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-cap stocks, led by significant gains from the industrials, technology and consumer discretionary sectors. All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index delivered positive returns, although telecommunications and utilities posted only modest gains.
Fixed-income retreated
Improved economic data drove interest rates higher over the fourth quarter, credit spreads narrowed and the dollar weakened against most developed market currencies. Against this backdrop, most non-Treasury, fixed-income sectors delivered positive returns. Outgoing Fed chairman Ben Bernanke expressed concern about the persistently low level of core inflation, but gains in the labor market and reduced unemployment led to the Fed's decision to taper its bond-buying program gradually beginning in January 2014.
As the stock market soared, the riskiest sectors of the fixed-income markets fared the best. U.S. and foreign high-yield bonds were the strongest performers, followed by emerging-market and U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds. U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and securitized bonds produced negative total returns, as did U.S. Treasuries and developed world government bonds. Treasury inflation-protected bonds were the period's biggest losers. Investment-grade municipals delivered fractional gains, as better economic conditions helped steady state finances.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned 16.86% excluding sales charges. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 21.52% during the same time period. We attribute the Fund's underperformance primarily to exposure, via underlying funds, to emerging market and commodity-related equities.
Global Equity Markets Advanced
Global equity markets declined in January 2014 as volatility spiked and investor risk tolerance lessened on emerging market weakness and reduction of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) stimulus measures. Still, for the annual period overall, global equity markets advanced, climbing to new highs in the fourth quarter of 2013, as the U.S. economy showed signs of improvement. After five years of modest progress, the pace of economic growth picked up, job gains persisted, manufacturing activity accelerated and a rebound in the housing market continued. Still, global equity market performance varied significantly amongst regions. Developed markets led the way, while emerging markets lost ground. Within the U.S. equity market, small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap and mid-cap stocks, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks across the capitalization spectrum. All ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index delivered positive returns, led by significant gains in the industrials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Telecommunication services, energy and utilities were the weakest on a relative basis, posting more modest gains.
Emerging Market and Commodity-Related Equities Hampered Results
Areas that detracted most from the Fund's relative results during the annual period were exposure to emerging market and commodity-related equities via positions in underlying funds Columbia Emerging Markets Fund, Columbia Global Energy and Natural Resources Fund and Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund. Weakness in emerging markets and materials stocks was driven largely by the potential for slowing economic growth in China. Also detracting from relative results was exposure to high dividend-yielding stocks via investments in underlying funds Columbia Global Dividend Opportunities Fund, Columbia Dividend Income Fund and Columbia Dividend Opportunity Fund, which were seen as vulnerable to both the anticipation and actuality of rapidly rising interest rates.
The area that contributed most favorably to the Fund's relative returns during the annual period overall was exposure to growth-oriented equities, via investments in underlying funds Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund and Columbia Small Cap Growth Fund.
Portfolio Changes
Changes within the Fund can be driven by active trading, by directing allocations to select market segments or by market appreciation or depreciation within a given market segment, all via investments in underlying funds. During the annual period, we modestly decreased the Fund's allocation to international equities in favor of a greater focus on U.S. equities. We also slightly reduced the Fund's overweight position in equity dividend payers in favor of more growth-oriented factors. We added on the margin to the Fund's exposure to smaller-capitalization equities.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
During the annual period, the Fund did not directly invest in derivatives. However, some of the underlying funds used derivatives to attempt to enhance Fund return and for hedging purposes as market conditions warranted.
Looking Ahead
The annual period ended January 31, 2014 was a strong one for U.S. equities — the top-performing segment as compared to bonds, foreign developed market equities and emerging market equities. With the Fed having begun to taper its quantitative easing program in January 2014, we believe volatility may rise in the months ahead, which could make the environment for equities more challenging. If interest rates head higher and puts pressure on the housing sector, this, too, may hurt U.S. large-cap companies. Despite these potential headwinds, we believe U.S. stock valuations remained reasonable at the end of the annual period and that there was reason to remain cautiously optimistic about U.S. equity markets for the near term. As such, we currently continue to seek intriguing ideas in the domestic market. At the same time, we believe stock markets outside the U.S. may show more potential in the year ahead. That said, we remain cautious at this time regarding emerging market equities and intend to look for signs of acceleration in global trade before we selectively add to the sector.
Investment Risks
Underlying holdings are subject to stock market fluctuations and changes in the values of specific fund holdings due to economic and business developments. International investing involves special risks including foreign taxation, currency risks, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards, and other monetary and political risks. The Fund and certain underlying funds may be subject to credit risk, which applies to most debt securities. Certain underlying funds use repurchase agreements, which carry the risk that the counterparty may not fulfill its obligations under the agreement. Derivative instruments are financial instruments that have a value dependent on the value of something else, such as one or more underlying securities. Gains or losses may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in an underlying security may result in a substantial gain or loss. See the Fund's prospectus for information on these and other risks associated with the Fund.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the "Actual" column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund's shareholders indirectly bear the Fund's allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Fund invests. You can also estimate the effective expenses paid during the period, which includes the indirect fees associated with investing in the underlying funds, by using the amounts listed in the "Effective Expenses Paid During the Period" column.
Compare With Other Funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Effective expenses paid during the period and the Fund's effective annualized expense ratio include expenses borne directly to the class plus the Fund's pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by the underlying funds using the expense ratio of each class of the underlying funds as of the underlying fund's most recent shareholder report.

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2014
Note 1. Organization
Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
The Fund is a "fund-of-funds" and invests in a combination of underlying affiliated funds* for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), or an affiliate acts as investment manager or principal underwriter (affiliated underlying funds). The Fund may also invest in third-party advised (unaffiliated) funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), (collectively with the affiliated underlying funds, the Underlying Funds), equity and fixed income securities, including treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) and other instruments such as derivatives.
*For information on the goals, investment strategies and risks of the affiliated underlying funds, please refer to the Fund's most recent prospectus and the prospectuses of the affiliated underlying funds.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5 and Class Z shares. All share classes have generally identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, although each share class votes separately when required by law, different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of each such share class differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund's Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or
capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the net asset value of each class of the respective underlying fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Annual Report 2014
25
Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
Income Recognition
Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees and Underlying Fund Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) 0.00% on assets invested in funds that pay an investment advisory fee to the Investment Manager, (ii) 0.10% on assets invested in non-exchange traded third-party advised mutual funds and (iii) 0.55% on assets invested in all other securities, including other funds advised by the Investment Manager that do not pay an investment advisory fee, ETFs, derivatives and individual securities.
The effective investment management fee rate for the year ended January 31, 2014 was less than 0.01% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Fund invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Other Expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees (the Board), including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the year ended January 31, 2014, other expenses paid to this company were $2,172.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their
Annual Report 2014
26
Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the year ended January 31, 2014, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.19 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.19 | | |
Class C | | | 0.19 | | |
Class K | | | 0.05 | | |
Class R | | | 0.19 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.19 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.05 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.19 | | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended January 31, 2014,
these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $1,514.
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly combined distribution and service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares of the Fund and the payment of a monthly distribution fee at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $803,690 for Class A, $15,718 for Class B and $5,263 for Class C shares for the year ended January 31, 2014.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), for the period disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
| | Fee Rates Contractual through May 31, 2014 | |
Class A | | | 0.51 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.26 | | |
Class C | | | 1.26 | | |
Class K | | | 0.40 | | |
Class R | | | 0.76 | | |
Class R4 | | | 0.26 | | |
Class R5 | | | 0.15 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.26 | | |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, the Fund's investment management fee, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for capital loss carryforwards, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, and re-characterization of distributions for investments. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | 10,057,534 | | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | (10,057,535 | ) | |
Paid-in capital | | | 1 | | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 16,194,722 | | | $ | 12,392,025 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At January 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,133,398 | | |
Accumulated realized loss | | | (4,453,141 | ) | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 102,883,073 | | |
At January 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $701,281,621 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 107,451,555 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (4,568,482 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 102,883,073 | | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at January 31, 2014, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
Year of Expiration | | Amount | |
2018 | | $ | 2,768,558 | | |
2019 | | | 1,684,583 | | |
Total | | $ | 4,453,141 | | |
For the year ended January 31, 2014, $78,619,799 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments in Underlying Funds, excluding money market funds, aggregated to $143,322,958 and $160,913,919, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2014.

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
Note 6. Shareholder Concentration
At January 31, 2014, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 25.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such account. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 13.4% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 7. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. For the period July 1, 2013 through December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. Prior to July 1, 2013, the Fund was not charged a commitment fee. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended January 31, 2014.
Note 8. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 9. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing 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. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the Funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial 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 Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial 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 Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
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 Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the 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 Financial.

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust and the Shareholders of
Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust) at January 31, 2014, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Not FDIC insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
Equities recovered
In the final months of 2013, the U.S. economy embraced a robust recovery. After five years of only modest progress, the pace of economic growth picked up, job gains continued, manufacturing activity accelerated and a rebound in the housing market showed staying power. Growth, as measured by gross domestic product, was 4.1% in the third quarter, with expectations for a solid fourth quarter. Job growth averaged close to 200,000 monthly. Industrial production rose at a rate of 3.3%, considerably higher than the 12-month average of 2.5%. Factories were busier than at any point since the 2008/2009 recession, with capacity utilization at 79%. Orders for durable goods were strong, bolstered by rising auto sales. Holiday spending was solid, especially online sales, which rose 10% year over year, despite a shorter season.
Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve's (the Fed's) announcement that it would slowly retreat from its monthly bond buying program and a bipartisan budget deal in Washington were welcome news for investors. Stocks climbed to new highs in the fourth quarter, while bonds retreated as yields moved higher. Small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-cap stocks, led by significant gains from the industrials, technology and consumer discretionary sectors. All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index delivered positive returns, although telecommunications and utilities posted only modest gains.
Fixed-income retreated
Improved economic data drove interest rates higher over the fourth quarter, credit spreads narrowed and the dollar weakened against most developed market currencies. Against this backdrop, most non-Treasury, fixed-income sectors delivered positive returns. Outgoing Fed chairman Ben Bernanke expressed concern about the persistently low level of core inflation, but gains in the labor market and reduced unemployment led to the Fed's decision to taper its bond-buying program gradually beginning in January 2014.
As the stock market soared, the riskiest sectors of the fixed-income markets fared the best. U.S. and foreign high-yield bonds were the strongest performers, followed by emerging-market and U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds. U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and securitized bonds produced negative total returns, as did U.S. Treasuries and developed world government bonds. Treasury inflation-protected bonds were the period's biggest losers. Investment-grade municipals delivered fractional gains, as better economic conditions helped steady state finances.

Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. The Fund's other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares returned 9.50% excluding sales charges. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), returned 11.93% over the same period. The Fund invests in fixed allocations to four Columbia Funds: Columbia Acorn International, Columbia Emerging Markets Fund, Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund and Columbia European Equity Fund. Solid performance from three of the Fund's four underlying funds helped bolster returns. However, exposure to emerging markets detracted from results relative to the benchmark, which does not include emerging markets. The Fund's position in Asian markets also detracted from relative returns.
A Strong Year for Global Equity Markets
Despite ending on a weak note, international equity markets posted solid returns for the period under review, diminished somewhat by a strong U.S. dollar. A potent combination of stabilizing economic growth, hyper-accommodative global central bank policy and undemanding valuations triggered a boom in stock markets around the world. However, emerging markets did not participate in the rally. Fears of reduced capital flows, as the Federal Reserve begins to wind down its highly accommodative stimulus, and specific local issues, such as political upheaval in Turkey, led to weak equity returns in emerging markets, which trailed developed markets by substantial margins. Weak currencies took a further bite out of emerging market returns to U.S. investors.
Some of the best performing stock markets outside the United States were in peripheral Europe, including Ireland, Greece and Spain. Japan was the strongest performing stock market among developed economies, bolstered by the initiation of Prime Minister Abe's "three arrows" of reform, which were designed to end decades of deflation and low growth. Much of the progress was driven by quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan, which reduced the value of the yen by more than 10%. Hong Kong and Singapore were conspicuously absent from the party, as a slowdown in China had knock-on effects for both countries.
In a year of generally strong returns, it was something of a surprise that the usually defensive telecommunications sector was the standout performer, driven by a wave of consolidation. Consumer discretionary stocks also fared well, as benign inflation, low interest rates and a stabilizing global economy led consumers to open their wallets after a multi-year hiatus following the credit crisis. The commodity-related energy and materials sectors were the weakest performers, barely scraping out positive returns for the year.
Underlying Funds Aided Returns
Three of the four Columbia funds in the Fund performed better than their individual benchmarks. Columbia European Equity Fund, which accounts for approximately 60% of the Fund's assets, outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Europe Index (Net) by a margin of more than five percentage points. Columbia Acorn International outperformed both the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Between $500 million and $5 billion Index and the MSCI EAFE (Net). Columbia Emerging Markets Fund generated a loss for the Fund, but it held up significantly better than the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) in a period that was generally weak for emerging markets. Columbia Pacific/Asia Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index (Net).

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
The Fund uses equity index futures to equitize cash in its portfolio and a currency hedging strategy to manage risk. The impact of equity index futures on performance during the reporting period was minimal. The currency hedging policy detracted as the currency exposures resulting from our active country positions would have outperformed the benchmark currency basket had we not hedged them. However, these currency positions performed as expected, which is to eliminate the active currency positions that result from our country/stock selection process, which to us simply represents uncompensated risk.
Looking Ahead
At present, our outlook for global stock markets remains fairly positive. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results, but, we believe, history shows that returns tend to be positive in the year that follows a strong year, despite the logical assumption that some amount of "give-back" is in order. At this time, global monetary conditions continue to be supportive, and, in our view, valuation levels do not pose an obstacle, even though they are no longer a tailwind to the equity markets. In our view, odds currently favor a short-term pullback, but generally the environment for global equity markets remains favorable.

Investment Risks
As a "fund of funds," the Fund will bear its allocable share of the costs and expenses of the underlying investment vehicles in which it invests (including the allocable share of the management fees and incentive compensation payable to the investment managers of such vehicles). The Fund is thus subject to two levels of fees and a potentially higher expense ratio than would be associated with an investment in an investment fund that invests and trades directly in financial instruments under the direction of a single manager. International investments involve greater potential risks, including less regulation, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed countries. In addition, there is risk associated with possible differences in financial standards and other monetary and political risks. Equity securities are subject to stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments. Investments in small and mid-cap companies may be subject to greater volatility and price fluctuations because they may be thinly traded and less liquid. Derivative instruments are financial instruments that have a value dependent on the value of something else, such as one or more underlying securities. Gains or losses may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in an underlying security may result in a substantial gain or loss. See the Fund's prospectus for information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the "Actual" column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund's shareholders indirectly bear the Fund's allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Fund invests. You can also estimate the effective expenses paid during the period, which includes the indirect fees associated with investing in the underlying funds, by using the amounts listed in the "Effective Expenses Paid During the Period" column.
Compare With Other Funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Effective expenses paid during the period and the Fund's effective annualized expense ratio include expenses borne directly to the class plus the Fund's pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by the underlying funds using the expense ratio of each class of the underlying funds as of the underlying fund's most recent shareholder report.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2014
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
The Fund is a "fund-of-funds" and invests in a combination of underlying affiliated funds* for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), or an affiliate acts as investment manager or principal underwriter (Underlying Funds). The Fund may also invest in derivatives.
*For information on the goals, investment strategies and risks of the Underlying Funds, please refer to the Fund's most recent prospectus and the prospectuses of the Underlying Funds.
Fund Shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund's Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the net asset value of each class of the respective underlying fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Derivative Instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and
Annual Report 2014
21
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Fund's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any initial margin held by the counterparty. With exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the
minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Fund fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. These contracts are typically intended to be used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund's securities, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another, to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark, and/or to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.
The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The
Annual Report 2014
22
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract expires or is closed.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund's portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are exchange traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage exposure to the securities market and maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it
may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table is a summary of the volume of derivative instruments for the year ended January 31, 2014:
Derivative Instrument | | Contracts Opened | |
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | | | 686 | | |
Futures contracts | | | 28 | | |
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise
Annual Report 2014
24
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees and Underlying Fund Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The Fund does not pay the Investment Manager a direct fee for these investment services.
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Fund invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Other Expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees (the Board), including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the year ended January 31, 2014, other expenses paid to this company were $1,413.
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as set forth in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Fund for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Fund that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund's shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
Annual Report 2014

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees.
For the year ended January 31, 2014, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | | | 0.19 | % | |
Class B | | | 0.19 | | |

Class R | | | 0.19 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.19 | | |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended January 31, 2014, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $40.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. The Board has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly combined distribution and service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly service fee at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares of the Fund and the payment of a monthly distribution fee at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively, of the Fund.
Sales Charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $5,821 for Class A, $505 for Class B and $9 for Class C shares for the year ended January 31, 2014.
Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), for the period disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:
| | Fee Rates Contractual through May 31, 2014 | |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % | |
Class B | | | 1.00 | | |
Class C | | | 1.00 | | |
Class R | | | 0.50 | | |
Class Z | | | 0.00 | | |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.
Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for capital loss carryforwards, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, foreign currency transactions, net operating loss reclassification, late-year ordinary losses, and derivative investments. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the
Annual Report 2014
26
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
Excess of distributions over net investment income | | $ | (686,793 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized loss | | | 1,269,823 | | |
Paid-in capital | | | (583,030 | ) | |
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | | 2014 | | 2013 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 748,225 | | |
Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.
At January 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 4,183,433 | | |
At January 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $36,870,750 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Unrealized appreciation | | $ | 4,248,130 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (64,697 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 4,183,433 | | |
The following capital loss carryforward, determined at January 31, 2014, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:
Year of Expiration | | Amount | |
2017 | | $ | 4,980,942 | | |
2018 | | | 25,984,153 | | |
2019 | | | 19,955,661 | | |
Unlimited short-term | | | 1,476,660 | | |
Unlimited long-term | | | 36,234,200 | | |
Total | | $ | 88,631,616 | | |
Unlimited capital loss carryforwards are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.
For the year ended January 31, 2014, $2,134,147 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.
Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and
post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. As of January 31, 2014, the Fund will elect to treat late-year ordinary losses of $586,758 as arising on February 1, 2014.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio Information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments in Underlying Funds, excluding money market funds, aggregated to $6,218,567 and $17,948,523, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2014.
Note 6. Affiliated Money Market Fund
The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.
Note 7. Shareholder Concentration
At January 31, 2014, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 49.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such account. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 28.4% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.
Note 8. Line of Credit
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its
Annual Report 2014
27
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. Effective December 10, 2013, the Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. For the period July 1, 2013 through December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. Prior to July 1, 2013, the Fund was not charged a commitment fee. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended January 31, 2014.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing 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. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the Funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial 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 Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial 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 Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
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 Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the 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 Financial.

To the Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust and the Shareholders of
Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio (the "Fund", a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust) at January 31, 2014, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2014 by correspondence with the transfer agent and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Shareholders,
Equities recovered
In the final months of 2013, the U.S. economy embraced a robust recovery. After five years of only modest progress, the pace of economic growth picked up, job gains continued, manufacturing activity accelerated and a rebound in the housing market showed staying power. Growth, as measured by gross domestic product, was 4.1% in the third quarter, with expectations for a solid fourth quarter. Job growth averaged close to 200,000 monthly. Industrial production rose at a rate of 3.3%, considerably higher than the 12-month average of 2.5%. Factories were busier than at any point since the 2008/2009 recession, with capacity utilization at 79%. Orders for durable goods were strong, bolstered by rising auto sales. Holiday spending was solid, especially online sales, which rose 10% year over year, despite a shorter season.
Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve's (the Fed's) announcement that it would slowly retreat from its monthly bond buying program and a bipartisan budget deal in Washington were welcome news for investors. Stocks climbed to new highs in the fourth quarter, while bonds retreated as yields moved higher. Small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-cap stocks, led by significant gains from the industrials, technology and consumer discretionary sectors. All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index delivered positive returns, although telecommunications and utilities posted only modest gains.
Fixed-income retreated
Improved economic data drove interest rates higher over the fourth quarter, credit spreads narrowed and the dollar weakened against most developed market currencies. Against this backdrop, most non-Treasury, fixed-income sectors delivered positive returns. Outgoing Fed chairman Ben Bernanke expressed concern about the persistently low level of core inflation, but gains in the labor market and reduced unemployment led to the Fed's decision to taper its bond-buying program gradually beginning in January 2014.
As the stock market soared, the riskiest sectors of the fixed-income markets fared the best. U.S. and foreign high-yield bonds were the strongest performers, followed by emerging-market and U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds. U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and securitized bonds produced negative total returns, as did U.S. Treasuries and developed world government bonds. Treasury inflation-protected bonds were the period's biggest losers. Investment-grade municipals delivered fractional gains, as better economic conditions helped steady state finances.

Performance Overview (continued)
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio
The Blended Index consists of 66% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 15% Russell 3000 Index, 10% Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, 5% MSCI EAFE Index (Unhedged Net) and 4% Barclays High Yield Corporate Bond Index. The Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged index, is representative of the performance of three-month Treasury bills. The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (Unhedged Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US and Canada. The Barclays High Yield Corporate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index, which covers the U.S. non-investment grade fixed-rate debt market. The index is composed of U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt in industrial, utility and finance sectors with a minimum $150 million par amount outstanding and a maturity greater than one year. On June 20, 2013, the Fund altered the composition of the Blended Index. The Fund's Investment Manager made this recommendation to the Fund's Board that the new Blended Index provides a more appropriate Fund performance comparison than the prior blended index. The Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) are no longer included as standalone benchmarks for Fund performance comparison purposes.
The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
The Russell 3000 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.
Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Fund may not match those in an index.

The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (Unhedged Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US and Canada. The Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged index, is representative of the performance of three-month Treasury bills.

The index is composed of U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt in industrial, utility and finance sectors with a minimum $150 million par amount outstanding and a maturity greater than one year.

The Fund's Investment Manager made this recommendation to the Fund's Board that the new Blended Index provides a more appropriate basis for comparing the Fund's performance. Effective June 20, 2013, the S&P 500 Index will no longer be a benchmark for the Fund's performance. The S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization U.S. stocks and is frequently used as a general measure of market performance.
The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
The Russell 3000 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index (Unhedged Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US and Canada. The Barclays High Yield Corporate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index, which covers the U.S. non-investment grade fixed-rate debt market.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. On June 20, 2013, the Fund altered the composition of the Blended Index.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
While each of the Funds generated solid positive absolute returns, we attribute the Funds' relative performance to mixed results from asset class allocation and underlying fund performance. For the 12-month period that ended January 31, 2014:
> Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio Class A shares returned 3.28% excluding sales charges, underperforming its Blended Index, which returned 4.16%.
> Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio Class A shares returned 6.18% excluding sales charges, underperforming its Blended Index, which returned 7.07%.
> Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio Class A shares returned 9.26% excluding sales charges, underperforming its Blended Index, which returned 9.73%.
> Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio Class A shares returned 11.67% excluding sales charges, underperforming its Blended Index, which returned 12.24%.
> Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio Class A shares returned 14.41% excluding sales charges, underperforming its Blended Index, which returned 14.64%.
During the same time frame, the Russell 3000 Index, which measures domestic equities, returned 22.60% and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which measures the U.S. fixed income market, returned 0.12%.
Global Equity Markets Climbed
Global equity markets declined in January 2014 as volatility spiked and investor risk tolerance lessened on emerging market weakness and reduction of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) stimulus measures. Still, for the annual period overall, global equity markets advanced, climbing to new highs in the fourth quarter of 2013, as the U.S. economy showed signs of improvement. After five years of modest progress, the pace of economic growth picked up, job gains persisted, manufacturing activity accelerated and a rebound in housing continued. Still, global equity market performance varied significantly amongst regions. Developed markets led the way, while emerging markets lost ground.
In the fixed income market, it was a fiscal year of transition. Government bond yields fell in January 2014 on the investor flight to quality, but for the annual period overall, government bond yields rose significantly. In turn, U.S. Treasury debt posted a loss during the annual period, while U.S. high yield corporate bonds posted solid positive returns, representing the two ends of the spectrum within the asset class. Emerging market bonds and inflation-protected bonds also declined.
Positioning and Underlying Fund Performance Generated Mixed Results
Overall, a tactical overweight to equities and underweight to fixed income in each of the Funds boosted relative results, as equities significantly outpaced fixed income during the annual period. Tactical asset allocation via the use of futures contributed positively to Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, was

Investment Risks
Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios (the Funds) are "fund of funds" comprised of holdings in several different Columbia Funds, which may include small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap, money market, international, bond, and/or sector funds. Each of the underlying funds in which the Funds invest has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Funds' shares and investments. There are risks associated with fixed income investments, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment and extension risk. Non-investment grade securities have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal and income than investment grade securities. International investing involves increased risk and volatility due to potential political and economic instability, currency fluctuations, and differences in financial reporting and accounting standards and oversight. Risks are particularly significant in emerging markets. Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks and volatility than investments in larger, more established companies. Derivative instruments are financial instruments that have a value dependent on the value of something else, such as one or more underlying securities. Gains or losses may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in an underlying security may result in a substantial gain or loss. The fund manager has a potential conflict of interest in selecting underlying funds because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds might be higher than those paid by other funds. However, the investment manager acts as a fiduciary to the Funds and is legally obligated to act in the Funds' best interest when selecting underlying funds. See the Funds' prospectus for more information on these and other risks that may be associated with the underlying funds.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
close to a neutral factor for Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and was a detractor from returns for Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio. Underlying fund performance was additive to relative returns for Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio but detracted somewhat from returns in Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio.
More specifically, for each Fund, a sizable underweight to U.S. Treasury securities via underlying funds proved the single greatest positive contributor to relative results. A small tactical exposure to hybrid, or convertible, securities also contributed favorably to relative results for the conservative and moderate Funds. Conversely, exposure to emerging market equities, which generally declined, detracted. The Funds' exposure to absolute return strategies and to emerging market bonds, via underlying funds, detracted as well. An overweight to investment grade credit also hurt, as this fixed income sector lagged both high yield corporate bonds and equities during the annual period. Partially offsetting the impact of tactical asset allocation to the investment grade credit sector was the strong relative performance of the underlying funds focused on investment grade credit strategies. The performance of those underlying funds focused on foreign developed market equities proved beneficial to relative returns as well.
Portfolio Changes
Asset class changes within each Fund's portfolio can be driven by active trading, by directing allocations to select asset classes or by market appreciation or depreciation within a given asset class. In Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, there were no significant changes made during the annual period, though its exposure to equities overall and to absolute return strategies decreased slightly. In Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, its exposure to equities overall, especially developed market equities, increased slightly, while its allocation to fixed income overall decreased. In Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio, its allocations to U.S. mid-cap equities and to emerging market equities decreased and its weighting in fixed income overall increased significantly, especially within the investment grade corporate bond sector. In Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio, its allocations to fixed income and absolute return strategies overall decreased, while its position in equities increased. In Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio, its weighting in equities overall increased, while its fixed income exposure decreased, and its exposure to real estate investment trusts was eliminated.
Derivative Positions
During the annual period, the use of futures positions on equity indices was implemented via an overlay to the Funds to allow greater flexibility in establishing exposure to a given market than might otherwise be possible. Futures can offer both a liquid and cost efficient means of establishing exposure in a given market and can be used to reduce, or hedge, exposure to risk. Also, some of the underlying funds used derivatives during the annual period to attempt to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes as market conditions warranted.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
Looking Ahead
The strong equity returns of the past two years present an investment strategy challenge. At the end of January 2014, we believed equities continued to look attractive. However, we also believed stock markets outside the U.S. may show more potential in the year ahead. That said, we remain cautious at present on emerging market equities and intend to look for signs of acceleration in global trade before we selectively add to the sector. Another aspect of our equity investment strategy anticipated for 2014 is an increase in active risk. In our view, with major macro uncertainties, such as recession risk or policy uncertainty, having receded during 2013, we currently expect stock prices to be increasingly influenced by company specific fundamentals. In turn, stock price movement correlation began 2014 at its lowest level in years, which we believe has the potential to provide a much improved environment for active stock selection strategies. In the fixed income market, our current outlook targets sectors that trade on their yield spread relative to U.S. Treasuries, such as U.S. high yield corporate bonds. We also see some value at this time in emerging market sovereign bonds, although we continue to monitor liquidity pressures for these bonds given broad investor skepticism. Finally, our team currently intends to be on the lookout for credit market weakness, negative economic surprise or weakening stock price momentum as the year unfolds. We believe these indicators may help provide some forward guidance on any sustained near-term weakness in the capital markets.

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of each Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the "Actual" column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund's shareholders indirectly bear the Fund's allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Fund invests. You can also estimate the effective expenses paid during the period, which includes the indirect fees associated with investing in the underlying funds, by using the amounts listed in the "Effective Expenses Paid During the Period" column.
Compare With Other Funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at January 31, 2014:

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market

dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at January 31, 2014:

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

See the Portfolio of Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table.
There were no transfers of financial assets between Levels 1 and 2 during the period.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
The Fund does not hold any significant investments with unobservable inputs which are categorized as Level 3.
The Fund's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain common stock classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, the halt price of the security, the movement in observed market prices for other securities from the issuer, the movement in certain foreign or domestic market indices, and the position of the security within the respective company's capital structure. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
> Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
> Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
> Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation
Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the net asset value of each class of the respective underlying fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing
techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quotation.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Funds do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
Derivative Instruments
Each Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate
Annual Report 2014
125
Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A Fund's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any initial margin held by the counterparty. With exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's payables
and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Fund fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Futures contracts are exchange traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Funds bought and sold
Annual Report 2014
126
Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, manage exposure to movements in interest rates, manage exposure to the securities market, and maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Treasury Inflation Protected Securities
Each Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income Recognition
Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trusts are allocated to the Funds and other funds of the Trusts based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of Class Net Asset Value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses which are charged directly to that share class, as shown in the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of a Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal Income Tax Status
For federal income tax purposes, each Fund is treated as a separate entity. The Funds intend to qualify each year as separate regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of their taxable income for their tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Funds intend to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Funds should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio. Distribution from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income dividend. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases by contract, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its Funds. In addition, certain of the Funds' contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined, and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates
Investment Management Fees and Underlying Fund Fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The investment management fee for the Funds is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) 0.00% on assets invested in Columbia proprietary funds that pay an investment advisory fee to the Investment Manager, (ii) 0.10%
Annual Report 2014
130
Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
on assets invested in non-exchange traded third-party advised mutual funds and (iii) 0.55% on assets invested in all other securities, including other funds advised by the Investment Manager that do not pay an investment advisory fee, ETFs, derivatives and individual securities.
Prior to March 1, 2013, Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio did not pay the Investment Manager a direct investment management fee for managing its assets.
The effective investment management fee rates based on each Fund's average daily net assets for the year ended January 31, 2014 were as follows:
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio | | | 0.03 | % | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | | | 0.02 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio | | | 0.02 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio | | | 0.03 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio | | | 0.02 | | |
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Funds bear directly, the Funds indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Funds invest. Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary.
Administration Fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. Each Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.02% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
Other Expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Funds or the Board, including payments to a company providing limited administrative services to the Funds and the Board. That company's expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits and certain other expenses. For the year ended January 31, 2014, other expenses paid to this company were as follows:
Fund | | Amount ($) | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio | | | 1,722 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | | | 2,086 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio | | | 3,020 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio | | | 3,708 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio | | | 1,990 | | |
Compensation of Board Members
Board members are compensated for their services to the Funds as disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Funds, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. Each Fund's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer Agent Fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Funds. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.
The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Funds for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Funds that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of each Fund's shares maintained in each omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Funds (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class Y shares are not subject to transfer agent fees.

*Annualized
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Funds' initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statements of Operations.
For the year ended January 31, 2014 these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses as follows:
Fund | | Amount ($) | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio | | | 20 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | | | 260 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio | | | 120 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio | | | 23,025 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio | | | 235 | | |
Plan Administration Fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, each Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and Service Fees
The Funds have an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. The Board has approved, and the Funds have adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the Funds. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Funds and providing services to investors.
Under the Plans, each Fund pays a monthly fee to the Distributor at the annual rates of up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, up to 1.00% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares and up to 0.50% of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio).
For Class B and Class C shares of the Funds, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses. The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) for each Fund was approximately as follows:
Fund | | Class B ($) | | Class C ($) | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio | | | 1,773,000 | | | | 260,000 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | | | 3,016,000 | | | | 454,000 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio | | | 5,745,000 | | | | 1,706,000 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio | | | 5,389,000 | | | | 1,233,000 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio | | | 1,632,000 | | | | 259,000 | | |
These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2013, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

These fees are currently limited to an aggregate annual rate of not more than 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. The shareholder services fees for the year ended January 31, 2014 was 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Funds, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. Effective March 1, 2013, the investment management fee is also excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio only and is therefore paid by the Funds. For Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio, each Fund's investment management fee is also excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment and is therefore paid by the Funds. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Reorganization (see Note 8) costs, if any, were allocated to the Funds only to the extent they are expected to be offset by the anticipated reduction in expenses borne by the Funds' shareholders during the first year following the Reorganization.
Note 4. Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2014, these differences are primarily due to differing treatments for capital loss carryforwards, deferral/reversal of wash sales losses, Trustees' deferred
compensation, foreign currency transactions, non-deductible expenses, re-characterization of distributions from investments and derivative investments. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the applicable Fund's net assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statements of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:
Fund | | Undistributed Net Investment Income ($) | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) ($) | | Paid-in Capital Increase (Decrease) ($) | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio | | | 1,437,487 | | | | (2,390,728 | ) | | | 953,241 | | |
Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | | | 4,440,889 | | | | (4,566,469 | ) | | | 125,580 | | |

Note 8. Line of Credit
Each Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Funds may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Funds and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. Effective December 10, 2013, each Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.075% per annum. For the period July 1, 2013 through December 10, 2013, the commitment fee was charged at the annual rate of 0.08% per annum. Prior to July 1, 2013, the Funds were not charged a commitment fee. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations.
No Fund had borrowings during the year ended January 31, 2014.

Note 9. Fund Mergers
Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio
At the close of business on April 26, 2013, Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia LifeGoal Income Portfolio, a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II. The reorganization was completed after shareholders of the acquired fund approved the plan on February 27, 2013. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The aggregate net assets of Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio immediately before the acquisition were $348,977,186 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $373,544,200.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,298,723 shares of Columbia LifeGoal Income Portfolio valued at $24,567,014 (including $1,787,615 of unrealized appreciation).
In exchange for Columbia LifeGoal Income Portfolio's shares, Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio issued the following number of shares:
| | Shares | |
Class A | | | 1,477,865 | | |
Class B | | | 86,216 | | |
Class C | | | 490,357 | | |
Class Z | | | 243,364 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, Columbia LifeGoal Income Portfolio's cost of investments was carried forward.
The financial statements reflect the operations of Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio for the period prior to the merger and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the merger. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the merger was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Columbia LifeGoal Income Portfolio that have been included in the combined Fund's Statement of Operations since the merger was completed.
Assuming the merger had been completed on February 1, 2013, Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio's pro-forma net investment income, net gain on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended
January 31, 2014 would have been approximately $6.2 million, $21.5 million, $(17.4) million and $10.3 million, respectively.

Note 10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing 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. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the Funds' Boards of Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial 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
Annual Report 2014
138
Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2014
in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial 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 Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
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 Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the 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 Financial.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (excluding any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser (the “Adviser”) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (a “Control Affiliate”) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
The Audit Committee has adopted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Auditors for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the “Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (“Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s Adviser and any Control Affiliates, that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fund (“Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s Adviser and its Control Affiliates. A service will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditor; provided, however, that pre-approval of non-audit services to the Fund, the Adviser or Control Affiliates may be waived if certain de minimis requirements set forth in the SEC’s rules are met.
Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are independent board members. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent auditor may not be delegated to management.
On an annual basis, at a regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund officer shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of the types of Fund Services and Fund-related Adviser Services that are subject to specific pre-approval. This schedule will provide a description of each type of service that is subject to specific pre-approval, along with total projected fees for each service. The pre-approval will generally cover a one-year period. The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and the projected fees for the next one-year period and may add to, or subtract from, the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. This specific approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that the independent auditor will be permitted to perform and the projected fees for each service.
The Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund officer shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services provided since the last such report was rendered, including a description of the services, by category, with forecasted fees for the annual reporting period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor, by category, with actual fees during the current reporting period.
